Chapter 144: Situation Suddenly Changes!

After the soldiers left, Liu Xiaotian and Xiezi immediately entered that two-story small building.

Now the three-person team only has the two of them left; the earlier they enter the building, the safer they are.

After all, the walls and corners visible everywhere inside can serve as cover, while outside they're just sitting ducks.

Just as Liu Xiaotian entered that two-story small building, before his heels were even steady, Jiaweis's voice sounded again: "sri, danger detected, please be careful."

Liu Xiaotian was somewhat surprised by Jiaweis's warning this time.

Before this, Jiaweis's warnings always gave a lethal direction, but this time he only said danger was detected without specifying where it came from—how big a difference could that make compared to saying nothing?

But when he asked again, Jiaweis remained silent.

Seeing Liu Xiaotian enter the building and then remain motionless for a while, Cha Cai beside him asked in a low voice:

It's not continuous firing, but dense short bursts.

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'

This time there were no submachine guns; both guns were rifles.

Although Cha Cai was doubtful about Liu Xiaotian suddenly becoming so cautious, given Liu Xiaotian's strength shown during the capture of Xiezi, Cha Cai did not think it was cowardice but believed Liu Xiaotian must have noticed something amiss.

That was a concrete-poured load-bearing pillar, fifty centimeters square; as cover, unless his luck was terrible enough to be hit by a ricochet, the opposing rifle would pose no danger even after firing five hundred rounds in continuous fire. But Liu Xiaotian could not do that.

The Chief Instructor stood up, straightened his uniform, and spoke in a solemn tone:

Liu Xiaotian, having come to his senses, lightly shook his head: "It's fine, I just feel something's off; be careful."

After saying that, he flashed out from the wall corner, quickly hid behind a concrete pillar, and carefully observed the surroundings.

Nearby there was no second cover; to move, he truly had to race against bullets.

As the Chief Instructor of this Warrior School, he is second only to the principal, and he has held the position for a long time.

This both saves ammunition and maintains shooting accuracy.

One could say that here the most mysterious figure is the principal, while in second place is this Chief Instructor.

Unlike the principal somewhat, here a few people know when he came to the Warrior School, but they don't know anything about his background before becoming Chief Instructor there—not even his name.

"I say, give me a gun, open the door!" The Chief Instructor didn't let him finish before cutting him off.

"Liu Xiaotian, what's wrong?"

"Sorry, please reconsider..."

Immediately without hesitation, he retreated like lightning to his original position, and made a gesture to Cha Cai to stop advancing.

Cha Cai instinctively stopped, and at once retracted the gun barrel he had extended to cover Liu Xiaotian back into cover.

The assistant instructor beside him jumped in fright and quickly spoke up to advise:

"Pat-pat-pat……bang-bang-bang……"

After ten or so seconds, after confirming there was no movement around, the two then moved forward again and quickly ducked into the preselected cover. In this simulated combat training up to now, Liu Xiaotian also discovered a flaw in the "enemy": before preparing to attack them, the mechanical arm emits a faint sound.

Moreover, it's impossible to use the enemy's reload time to shift position.

The control system inside that training ground suddenly failed, and both ground monitoring equipment and satellite monitoring equipment lost their signal source.

"Give me a gun, open the door!"

Outside the training field, the Chief Instructor who had been staring at the screen was looking at the monitor that instantly turned black; his facial expression showed no change, but a hint of severity flashed across his face.

Soon he got a definite answer: the door could be opened.

Moreover, from where the bullets hit the cover, it was clear they weren't aiming around the body or at the feet, but directly at the two people's bodies! Even though they were now hiding behind cover, the walls inside this two-story small building were not concrete-poured but made of brick and cement.

The Chief Instructor heard this clearly, said nothing, showed no excitement or anger, but quietly clenched his fists.

If at long range, the probability of two bullets precisely hitting the same spot is indeed low, but at such close range, with continuous fire as a premise, that probability greatly increases.

When the Warrior School originally set up the program, they certainly considered this, so the timing of the two guns' ammunition changes is staggered such that at least one gun remains firing.

If it were merely training, one could only say that this combat simulation training is absolutely meticulous.

If the distance isn't especially far, as long as you listen carefully, you can hear it.

But the current situation is that if Liu Xiaotian and the other cannot, in a short time, get into absolutely safe cover or eliminate the "enemy," their fate will likely not be good.

Just as the two were again preparing to move toward a stairwell leading to the second floor by alternating cover, Liu Xiaotian, who had just flashed out from behind cover and was preparing to approach the corner of the building five meters away, suddenly heard a faint sound from ahead.

"Don't stay in one spot for too long! Watch out for bullet penetration!"

Liu Xiaotian immediately thought of that possibility and shouted loudly at Cha Cai:

"Can the door of the training field where the fourth team is located be opened?" the Chief Instructor asked again.

But after observing for so long, no abnormality has been found……

Two different gunshots rang out immediately, one aimed at Liu Xiaotian's hiding position, the other at Cha Cai's cover.

Blocking a single bullet's shot is barely doable, but if two bullets hit the same spot, the second bullet will instantly pierce the brick-and-stone wall without its momentum noticeably weakening.

"Stop the fourth team's simulation training, immediately!"

His side's assistant instructor immediately grabbed the communicator to convey the Chief Instructor's order, but the reply received was:

Cha Cai obviously also realized this, and quickly moved to another cover.

The assistant instructor was clearly somewhat afraid of the Chief Instructor, didn't dare speak further, and immediately had someone bring over an AK-103, four magazines fully loaded with bullets, and a bulletproof vest, placing them before the Chief Instructor.

But the Chief Instructor merely picked up the gun and magazines, not even glancing at the bulletproof vest.

Everyone knows that in the face of close-range rifle bullets, if hit head-on, this bulletproof vest is utterly useless.

Even if not worn, the bullet might actually cause slightly less damage to the human body……
