Thirty-Seven: There is a Problem During Frey’s wedding, three people enthusiastically started discussing their favorite guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang had fewer concerns, as his rifle was custom-made for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in terms of performance or suitability, it had become the best and irreplaceable, so he would never consider changing his sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his pistol, it was also custom-made and not in need of replacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where Gao Yang wanted to make a breakthrough was with shotguns, While the Benelli M4 was a good gun, after several conversations with Sirte, he felt there might be a better choice, so he planned to give Jack a visit and try out some options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excited, Gao Yang said, “When I was talking with Sirte, he mentioned a new series of FRAG-12 high-explosive shells that work really well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can be used in any 12-gauge shotgun, and I want to try them out this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo also expressed his interest, “This time fighting in the jungle really frustrated me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t bring my big sniper and using the HK416 as a substitute didn’t cut it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m thinking of finding a backup gun, not a 7.62mm sniper rifle, but a 7.62mm semi-automatic rifle, either an HK417 or SCAR-H.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both seem good, and I want to give them a try in case I encounter urban or jungle combat again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang, however, looked worried and said, “Honestly, though I’ve been using the HK416 for a while now and am quite familiar with it, I still feel it’s not the best fit for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Changing guns means a new adjustment period, but the key issue is I developed my shooting habits using the Type 81 and Type 95, I don’t feel right using anything else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang nodded and replied, “I’ve noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Libya, you could change magazines without stopping when shooting an AK47, but after you switched to other guns, you never used that technique.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang shook his head, “The movements are totally different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It works with AK family rifles, but with American guns, it’s just not possible to change magazines using the same technique, and now I’m not sure which gun to use.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed and suggested, “If not, just use the Type 97 then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It uses the same ammo and isn’t much different from the Type 95; it should be comfortable for you to use.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang responded with a wry smile, “Now I’m actually more accustomed to the trajectory of 5.56mm bullets, but the problem is, I don’t like bullpup rifles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, I prefer the Type 81, but then the ammunition is an issue, and also, the accuracy during rapid-fire isn’t as good as with small-caliber guns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s bothersome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slapping his leg, Cui Bo suggested, “You could use the Type 03 rifle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where am I going to find 5.8mm bullets, and besides, I’ve never used the Type 03 before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I might as well stick with the current HK416.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a moment, Gao Yang asked, “Do you know about the Type 87 rifle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang shook his head, “I don’t know, what kind of gun is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang explained seriously, “The Type 87 rifle was modified from the Type 81 to test 5.8mm bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a transitional model for experimentation that wasn’t broadly issued, but the Airborne Soldiers were equipped with it, which was later replaced by the Type 03.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I think if the Type 81 could be modified for 5.8mm caliber, surely it can be modified for 5.56mm caliber—we could have Jack customize a 5.56mm Type 81.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang nodded, “That might work, but is it easy to modify?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang laughed heartily, “That’s simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack can build a new gun from scratch, so changing the barrel and caliber might be troublesome, but definitely not beyond him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go to Portland tomorrow and just ask him to know for sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo chuckled, “This time Tommy and Lucica are the focus, but I think their gun choice will be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of Tommy, look at the guy, pretending he doesn’t want it, yet here he is having a great time chatting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tommy, typically unnoticeable, now sat in front of Vita in a suit, his every word and action fitting, as if he were a completely different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jinfang said with a grin, “Who would have guessed Tommy could look so decent?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s truly versatile, adapting to any situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Yang, look at Rabbit—even in a suit, he’s an eyesore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas, there’s no helping ugliness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Bo snapped back at Li Jinfang, “Take a look at yourself before you talk about me, like a gorilla in a coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think you look good?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Cui Bo and Li Jinfang didn’t look bad in suits, actually quite handsome, but their demeanor and clothes were truly mismatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accustomed to military attire and boots, they indeed had trouble getting used to suits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Military dress uniforms would have been more suitable, but sadly, as mercenaries, they would never wear military dress again unless they were deceiving themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were bantering and laughing, Yelena gracefully approached Gao Yang, and seeing Yelena, Cui Bo and Li Jinfang stopped their bickering and automatically disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Yelena, Gao Yang smiled, “What, no need to accompany Ella anymore?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena laughed,”No need, that’s why I came to keep you company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Have you noticed how beautiful Ella looks in her wedding dress?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang gently kissed Yelena on the cheek and then whispered in her ear,”You’re much prettier than Ella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you wear your wedding dress, you will definitely look even more beautiful than her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone likes to hear compliments from their loved ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena, smiling happily, hugged Gao Yang and said,”I’m trying my best to graduate early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I’ll marry you in the most beautiful wedding dress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she spoke cheerfully, Yelena’s expression suddenly changed, and she said sadly,”You’re leaving tomorrow, yet I still have to go to school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, how I wish I could just drop out now and stop going.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang’s face become stern, Yelena quickly said,”You know I’m just speaking off the top of my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mom and Dad have pinned all their hopes on me, and it was with great difficulty that you sent me here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know that, and of course, I won’t let you down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just that I can’t bear to be apart from you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang smiled,”My dear, we’ll be able to be together all the time soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we’re married, we can be together every day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena sighed,”You’re in the most dangerous line of work, planning for our future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear, as you know, I can find a very well-paid job after I graduate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I’ll become famous, a renowned musician.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can support our family, so, I’m sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know this might make you angry, but you really don’t need to go to war anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You and my father can just work in less dangerous jobs, especially since you both have enough money now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very thing Gao Yang dreaded the most had happened again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, how could he be angry when the person who loved him was worried about his safety?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that he couldn’t immediately leave the mercenary life shocked Gao Yang himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered what Nate had once told him, that once he grew accustomed to a lawless profession and couldn’t accept the constraints of normal society anymore, he would never be able to turn back and could only continue in the mercenary industry until his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat began to form on Gao Yang’s forehead, as he realized he truly didn’t seem to want to live a normal life anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the beginning, Gao Yang fought for money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that if he had a lot of money, nobody would choose to remain a mercenary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now he understood that sometimes war wasn’t about money; it was that you simply couldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Nate and his Angel Mercenary Corps, they didn’t care about money at all; they just wanted to stay on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gao Yang silent, Yelena grew afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said timidly,”I’m sorry, my dear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you’re angry, I apologize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t bring it up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know you don’t like it, I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Yelena kissed him on the lips, Gao Yang said apologetically with a smile,”Baby, it’s not what you think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m just…just thinking about the future, don’t worry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena truly cared about Gao Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was very afraid that he would get angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Gao Yang reassured her, Yelena’s anxious expression eased somewhat, but she no longer dared to bring up anything related to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the apprehensive Yelena, Gao Yang suddenly felt very guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He embraced Yelena and said with a light chuckle,”Baby, let’s not talk about that issue anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We made a deal, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you graduate, and I will propose to you, and then we’ll live a carefree life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, I have to fight for our future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a man, it would be embarrassing if your income were higher than mine in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena also laughed, but she couldn’t help saying,”But do we really need to care about who makes more money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang said earnestly,”Of course, we have to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am a Huaxia man; our traditions compel me to care about it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yelena immediately said,”Then I could just not work, or find a job that pays less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, I’m sorry, I spoke out of turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will try my best to become a musician.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Yang’s stern face relaxed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jokingly, if Yelena gave up her music career to look after his pride, it would not only be unfair to herself but also to the years of hard work Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and Mrs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glolov had put into nurturing Yelena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Gao Yang was not the type of man who needed Yelena’s support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wanted, when it came to earning money, even if Yelena truly became a great musician, she couldn’t surpass him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After deliberately avoiding the unpleasant subject, Gao Yang and Yelena chatted very sweetly, completely oblivious to the passage of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after a while that Gao Yang noticed Tommy standing in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Gao Yang’s question, Tommy looked troubled and said,”There’s a problem, a big problem.” (To be continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you enjoy this work, please vote for it or send in your monthly ticket at
