Chapter 129: Chapter 126: Fu Lin Middle School_2

"We’ll mainly train you in the speed of drawing your gun, aiming, and firing; your shooting range training will focus on distances from 5 to 10 meters."

"Remember, always shoot before your enemy does, and don’t aim for the head with the first shot. The head is a small target and hard to hit. Aim for the torso, the chest, the abdomen, any of these are fine."

"The first shot doesn’t need to be lethal; it just needs to at least incapacitate the other person. Then, provided it’s safe to do so, immediately close the distance and perform close-range follow-up shots. The rule is: two shots to the torso, one to the head."

"The Mozambique Drill?" Yang Xiao suddenly thought.

The bald instructor laughed, lit a cigarette for himself, and squinted his eyes as he said, "Aye, not bad, you know your stuff."

"But what if there are more of them and they’re rushing at me from a distance? That doesn’t give much time to aim." Yang Xiao asked, as this was a challenging scenario.

"In theory, we’re the ones with the numerical advantage, but... for the extreme situation you mentioned, we have a solution," frёewebnoѵēl.com

The bald instructor rested his cigarette on the table, leaving the burning end exposed, skillfully pulled his service pistol from his waistband, removed the magazine, inserted an extended magazine, disengaged the safety lock, held the gun with both hands, aimed at three humanoid targets 5 meters away, and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...bang bang!!"

Yang Xiao: "!!!"

As shell casings flew out in rapid succession, the three humanoid targets were peppered with bullets irregularly distributed, with one head struck by three consecutive shots.

After emptying the magazine, the bald instructor smiled faintly, turned the gun sideways towards himself, blew a light breath across the barrel with a showy gesture, and not without bragging he said, "Glock 18 type 9mm fully automatic pistol, standard magazine capacity of 17 rounds, the extended magazine I just used has a capacity of 33 rounds, in full-auto firing mode it can empty the magazine in 3 seconds, enough to handle small-scale group assaults. What you need to pay attention to is holding the gun with both hands, countering the recoil, controlling the angle, and preventing ricochets in confined spaces."

"If you think that’s still not enough, we also have drum magazines with a capacity of 50 rounds, it’s just that the bureau doesn’t have them in stock at the moment; you’d need to apply for them."

With a slight smile showing his white teeth, the bald instructor said, "Firepower is justice, your gun needs to be fast beyond 7 steps, within 7 steps it should be both fast and accurate!"

After finishing the training, as soon as Yang Xiao walked out of the training ground, Huang Qiang was already waiting for him, informing him to visit the Director’s office.

Politely knocking on the door, he pushed it open to find Director Nalan already awaiting him, "Director, you wanted to see me."

Nalan Shuo gestured for him to sit down and got straight to the point. He pulled out a newspaper-wrapped cube from the drawer and opened it up. Yang Xiao couldn’t believe his eyes.

"Here is 100,000. The bureau has decided to reward you for saving Yu Shu last time," Nalan Shuo said directly, "Since this matter is confidential, the bureau has tentatively decided to skip the commendation ceremony and I will award you personally. Is that acceptable?"

"Very acceptable, thank you for your cultivation, Director!" Yang Xiao was instantly energized, his fatigue from training vanished.

"It’s not me, it’s your own efforts." Nalan Shuo maintained a businesslike demeanor, "In the Ghost Operation, you saved all your teammates, and this time you saved Yu Shu again. Young man, I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work, and I will support your promotion."

"Thank you for the organization’s cultivation!"

As Yang Xiao excitedly stuffed the reward into his backpack, Nalan Shuo reminded him, "Captain Yang, this decision was made by the bureau’s leadership and is not yet intended to be announced to the whole bureau."

Yang Xiao instantly understood and assured that he would keep it to himself.

"There’s one more thing to tell you. The Provincial Bureau has ended its surveillance on Yu Shu, and the technical staff stationed at the hospital has been withdrawn. Yu Shu will be discharged tomorrow afternoon. When she comes back, you need to lead everyone to quickly get back to work."

"Yu Shu is coming back?" Yang Xiao’s joy doubled, "That’s great!"

Bringing this news back to the office, the excitement was inevitable. That night, lying on the fold-out bed in the office, looking at the stack of cash on the desk, he felt hopeful for the days ahead.

Now that he was a man of means, and as a captain-level official of the Patrol Defense Bureau, living in such a simple office seemed somewhat out of step with his current status.

Yang Xiao decided to move the next day, first finding an apartment nearby, and then moving everything he left in the rental house.

Considering the timing, the rent for the rental house was almost due; the landlady seemed convinced that he couldn’t pay next month’s rent and had already put out the notice to rent out the place early.

"Fortunes change, dangerous as these days may be, but they sure make money, and there’s still plenty of room for advancement!"

Yang Xiao planned to save a bit more, enough for a down payment, as he’d become accustomed to a transient life after college and longed for stability.

He sent a message to Beibei asking if she was free, and she agreed without hesitation. The next morning, she drove over, bringing along Xi Menxiu and Da Xiong to help with the move.

They grabbed breakfast at the bureau, then drove to a nearby upscale apartment, one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom, over 40 square meters, with a monthly rent of 5,000, paid one month in advance and three months’ deposit. The only downside was that utility costs fell somewhere between residential and commercial rates.

To be honest, the price was higher than Yang Xiao expected, but he really liked the place. The decoration and the environment were impeccable, far superior to the old neighborhood he’d lived in before, and there was even a gym and a reading room downstairs, both of which were free and greatly added to the happiness of the living experience.

Ultimately, with Beibei’s sharp negotiating skills, they settled on a monthly rent of 4,700 yuan with a one-year lease.
