Chapter 10: Master and Disciple

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but admit defeat. Looking at the other's 26-kilogram super-heavy, ultra-long, over-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifle, then at the Type 85 sniper rifle in his arms—nicknamed the chimpanzee in the 'jianghu' but pitifully skinny, weighing only a few kilograms—he couldn't help but feel a sense of weakness in their hearts, neither side being on the same level.
Both are sniper rifles. While others can shoot 1,800 meters, he can only hit 800 meters. Zhanxiage took a metal briefcase out of his backpack. When he opened it, Zhao Haiping, who had been craning his neck to learn something by stealing a teacher, gasped. This time, he was truly stunned.
Inside the box was a special material similar to foam but with fireproof and heat-insulating properties. On this special material, there were twenty-two grooves, each 8.53 centimeters long and 2 centimeters thick, each firmly enclosing a bullet specifically for anti-materiel sniper rifles.
Looking at those bullets that were even bigger than machine guns, with their warheads dyed in all sorts of bright colors, and one bullet even bore a terrifying death symbol, even though Zhao Haiping had never eaten pork before, he could still taste these sub-bullets with different elastic properties—all special ammunition designed for strikes!
A single anti-materiel sniper rifle actually contains at least twenty-two types of specialized sniper bullets! If Zhanxiage told him that in just one minute, he could equip this sniper rifle with a 14.5mm barrel and matching scope, and also produce fifteen different sniper bullets targeting 14.5.5 caliber barrels, who knows what kind of reaction Zhao Haiping would have!
By comparison, Zhao Haiping's Type 85 sniper rifle, chambered for 7.62 mm and using Type 53 machine gun ammunition, was practically like a toy in a child's hand. Zhao Haiping hardly wanted to recall. His favorite thing to do was brag to his comrades: "Look at the gun in my hand, bro—the Type 85 sniper rifle!" Within 800 meters, you can fight wherever you want, and in close combat, you can even equip bayonets for close combat! ”
Testing wind speed, measuring air temperature, checking air pressure to adjust the muzzle angle during shooting—Zhao Haiping understood all of these, but he didn't quite understand what Zhanxiage did afterward.
Zhanxiage stood at the spot where terrorists must pass, holding a soda can in his hand. Suddenly, he tossed the can into the air and closed his eyes.
The soda can was flipped in the air and was thrown by Zhanxiage more than ten meters high. After reaching the balance point between kinetic and potential energy, it paused slightly for 0.1 seconds before flipping joyfully and falling down.
"Clang!"
The soda can smashed into a pile of rubble, producing a crisp sound. Zhanxiage seemed to hear the starting gun. His tiger gates suddenly swung open, and at the same time, he lunged forward, landing the ground in the most disheveled posture. Zhan Xiage, lying on the ground, quickly turned his head to look around. Before Zhao Haiping could even ask what Zhanxiage was up to, he braced himself with both hands, his whole body like a leopard launching a deadly attack on its prey. He slanted and sprang up, darting four or five meters in just 0.5 seconds. Then he lunged back toward the ground, but before he even reached the ground, his body curled up and he rolled forward rapidly using his powerful momentum and momentum.
In less than fifteen seconds, Zhanxiage went from lying down to sprinting, performing a dazzling series of military maneuvers, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared behind a trench.
"Pah!"
Zhanxiage climbed out of the ditch, spat out a leaf from his mouth, took a small notebook from his pocket, held a pencil, and took notes as he said, "If Amirali had the same reaction speed and military skills as me, he would only need 14.5 seconds to escape our sniper sight!" ”
Zhao Haiping is a genuine honest man. After so many years in the military, he still carries the honesty and simplicity of his rural hometown. But at this moment, even this honest man couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself, "Do you think Amirali is just as twisted as you?!" Doing a fake move at 0.5 seconds—even if we invited our military instructor from the Armed Police Battalion, they'd just stare and say, 'That's way too much!' ”
"If my first bullet misses him, my sniper rifle has to manually pull the bolt."
Zhanxiage slowly walked along the path he had just dodged and said in a low voice, "It took me 3.25 seconds from firing the first bullet to pulling the bolt again. It took me 1.23 seconds to re-lock onto the target. Plus, the smoke rising from the muzzle while I fired affected my vision, so I had about eight to nine seconds before I could fire a second shot!" ”
"In other words, I only have the chance to fire two shots at most!" Zhanxiage suddenly stopped. He crouched down and carefully touched the pile of rubble beneath his feet. "Just now, my body slipped involuntarily in this position, causing my military movement to miss by 0.1 seconds, even to a terrifying halt. When the target reaches this position, that's the best time for me to fire a second bullet!" ”
Zhao Haiping asked blankly, "This is an open area. What if our sniper targets don't actually run in the direction you set at all?" ”
战侠歌淡然道：“如果他没有往这个方向跑，他就必死无疑！”
赵海平闭上了嘴巴，他还无法理解战侠歌这种自信的来源。
战侠歌从自己背包里取出一枚定向爆破地雷，当着赵海平的面，把它小心的埋进那条地沟里。
Zhao Haiping felt a chill rise in his heart. Whoever was about to be targeted by someone like Zhanxiage would be like receiving an invitation from the King of Hell!
"Did you remember everything I just said?"
Zhao Haiping nodded vigorously. Although he was a bit simple-minded, he wasn't stupid. Whenever he encountered his favorite sniper, he not only listened with his ears but also with his heart.
"Did you understand everything?"
Zhao Haiping hesitantly nodded, clutching his hair that was only about an inch long, and said hesitantly, "I do understand, but if I had to do it myself, I still couldn't do it!" At least I can't be sure if the target I want to snipe will definitely escape along the route I preset! ”
Zhanxiage really laughed. He stuffed the small notebook in his hand into Zhao Haiping's hand and smiled, "So far, four instructors have trained me in sniping. Before training, they all tell me one thing: people are alive!" To become an excellent sniper, you must anticipate the instinctive reactions of those you will miss, then eliminate them one by one based on probability, ultimately determining one or two possible escape routes for your targets. Without this analytical ability and understanding of human nature and instincts, even if you hit the target with perfect accuracy, you're just a shooting range champion who talks on paper! ”
