Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The sniper competition had already gone through two rounds, starting from 400 m and now 500 m. Out of the original 17 challengers, eight had already been eliminated.

However, everyone knew that the first two rounds were just appetizers. The third round was the beginning of the main event.

The Sniper 88 was a sniper rifle that was currently in use in the Chinese military. It used 5.8mm bullets and was common with the Type 95 automatic rifle. Its effective range was 800 meters, but in reality, it was difficult to shoot a target that was 600 meters away.

After all, it was designed to give the infantry class a level of units, providing 600-800 meters of support.

If the 500m target range was a test of a sniper’s shooting skills and stability, then the 600m target range required years of training and a certain amount of talent.

Among Sharpshooters players, many could hit 500 meters, but at 600 meters, the ratio was only about 10:1…

Forget about the challengers, even proficient snipers would be intimidated by this challenge. At this moment, the nine challengers subconsciously swallowed their saliva when they saw the slender flagpole 600 meters away.

Shooting at 600 meters was almost their limit. Even if they trained normally and performed steadily, the success rate was only 60 – 70%.

They subconsciously looked at Lin Shu and He Chenguang. They saw that the latter’s expression was still calm and even had a confident look on his face. An inexplicable sense of nervousness rose in their hearts.

They didn’t know if the two of them were really confident or if they were pretending to be calm.

However, this mentality of theirs was not going to work…

“Not bad, there are still so many people left in the third round. It seems that they haven’t been slacking off during their usual training. I wondered how many people would advance after this round.”

“Alright!” Gong Jian said with a satisfied smile. “Now, I announce that the third round begins!”

Thirty seconds starts now!

He gave the order.

The snipers and challengers all took a deep breath, put away all their distracting thoughts, and prepared to shoot.

Bang!

Lin Shu was still the first to shoot, but everyone was already expecting it. This bold fellow didn’t seem to be competing, but practicing his shooting skills.

After five to six seconds… Bang, bang, bang… Gunshots were fired one after another, and the colorful flags 600 meters away kept falling.

After the third round of the competition, four people were eliminated. What was even surprising was that one of the snipers got eliminated!

When the sniper saw that he had been eliminated, his eyes were filled with regret and unwillingness.

When the remaining eight snipers saw this, they were also shocked. They knew very well that it was not because this sniper was unskilled. The error rate was quite high when shooting colorful flags at a distance of 600 meters. They had hit the target this time, but it didn’t mean that they could hit it again in the future.

They could not help but look at the remaining five challengers, especially Lin Shu and He Chenguang. It made the rest of them even more nervous!

The next 700 meters was a cruel elimination round. Even for experienced snipers like them, the success rate was only 20 – 30%.

However, Lin Shu’s expression was still as calm as ever. Although He Chenguang was a little solemn, he seemed more like he was prepared.

“F*ck! I didn’t expect Lin Shu and He Chenguang to be so skilled. 600 meters is like a game to them!”

“Look at Lin Shu. He didn’t even wait to aim, but he still managed to shoot the pole down!”

“How can someone snipe like that? Where is his limit?”

“He Chenguang is awesome enough. He’s not much slower than Lin Shu in shooting. Are the recruits nowadays so ridiculously talented?”

“Even if I practice sniping in my mother’s womb, I won’t be able to beat these two!”

… The veterans of the 4th Division no longer dared to underestimate Lin Shu and He Chenguang.

Even the way they looked at Lin Shu and He Chenguang was filled with admiration, envy, and other emotions. The military camp had always respected the strong. Even though they were only two private soldiers, their strength had already made the veterans feel inferior.

As the veterans discussed in private, the fourth round of the 700m sprint began with Gong Jian’s order.

At this moment, whether it was Instructor Gong Jian or Squad Leader Old Hei, they were all looking forward to Lin Shu and He Chenguang’s performance. It was obvious that the 600m sprint was not their limit. They wanted to see how far they could shoot!

How long had it been since such a talented sniper genius appeared in the Sharpshooter 4th Division?

Not only Old Hei, but the other veterans also looked forward to their results.

How difficult was the fourth round?

It must be known that the effective range of an 88 sniper rifle was 800 meters, but the bullets would start to drift at 600 meters. Under such circumstances, it was not easy to hit the flagpole with one shot.

At this moment, many of the participating soldiers and snipers were sweating profusely as they tried their best to make the most precise adjustments.

At this moment—

Bang!

Lin Shu, who was lying on the ground, had already pulled the trigger decisively, and the bullet came out of the barrel.

He Chenguang was not to be outdone. A second after Lin Shu fired, he confidently pulled the trigger. Bang! Another gunshot.

F*ck!

These two were simply not human!!

At this moment, the soldiers who were aiming to shoot could not help but think, ‘Are the two of you really competing with each other and not treating us as opponents?!’ However, they didn’t have much time left, so they gathered their thoughts and shot.

Bang bang bang…

Gunshots kept firing one after another.

The fourth round ended very quickly, and the results were out!

However, the result of the competition this time caused everyone in the 4th Division to explode. It was even difficult for them to accept what they had heard.
