Chapter 37 The Match Ends
"100-meter sprint? Wasn't this kid seriously injured yesterday?" Wolf couldn't help but ask Yuri after hearing the rules.
"Haha, Major. I have to thank your special medicine!" Yuri laughed heartily. "By the way, could you sell me some of your special medicine? It really works!"
"My miracle drug? Is it really that effective?" Wolf was a little puzzled, but he said aloud, "Of course it is, but friendship aside, the price is the black market price!"
Yuri ignored Wolf and waved to Roman, indicating that the match could begin.
"Kid, be careful the recoil from the gun barrel doesn't snap your thread."
Artyom pulled back the bolt, gave Lu Ye a provocative smile, and said, "My SV-98 is itching for a fight."
Lu Ye ignored his sarcasm.
Instead, he skillfully inspected the SVD's bolt and gas tube, then loaded the bullet into the magazine and chambered it with a "click".
"Ready?" Roman raised the flare gun in his hand.
"Bang!"
A red signal flare shot into the sky, illuminating the entire abandoned mine pit in a blood-red hue.
"Let the competition begin!"
As the red signal flare slowly fell into the night sky, the atmosphere in the abandoned mine instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"First item: Precision shooting at a fixed target at 400 meters. Begin!"
As soon as Roman finished speaking, Lu Ye and Artyom simultaneously raised their sniper rifles.
With the strong muscle memory of [Basic Shooting (LV5)], Lu Ye didn't need much adjustment at all.
The moment the butt of the rifle touched the shoulder, the crosshairs were already firmly locked onto the bullseye 400 meters away.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.
The target detector in the distance immediately lit up with two green lights, both hitting the bullseye!
"A draw!" Roman announced.
Colonel Vorov, who was standing by watching, sneered and turned to look at Yuri, his tone full of sarcasm.
"That's it? This is the genius you bought with a five percent profit and hundreds of thousands of dollars? I think he's nothing special, barely able to hold his own against your subordinates. What a waste of money."
Yuri didn't even lift his eyelids, only glancing at Wolf indifferently: "I believe you have also carefully read Lu Ye's paper file."
"Colonel, have you calculated how many days it's been since he stepped onto this battlefield? Less than half a month!"
Upon hearing this, Wolf's fingers holding the cigar trembled violently, his fat face froze instantly, and his smug expression gradually disappeared.
Yuri saw the shocked expression on Wolf's face, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and he returned the sarcasm without any politeness.
"In just half a month, he's managed to tie with a veteran who's served in Alpha for eight years. Colonel, don't you think he's improved very quickly? Haha!"
"Second item: 300-meter random concealed target!" Roman's voice rang out again.
Behind a row of bunkers deep in the mine, targets could pop out at any moment.
Lu Ye held his breath, and his [Perception LV1] played an extremely terrifying role at this moment.
He was not only watching, but also listening!
A very faint "click" came from behind the ruins to the left front.
Before the target had even fully emerged, Lu Ye's gun barrel had already been aimed at it.
"Bang!"
One shot to the head!
A fraction of a second later, Artyom's gunshot rang out.
This terrifying reaction speed made Yuri's brow twitch and a hint of horror flash in his eyes.
He walked quickly to Roman's side and whispered a few words to him.
"A tiebreaker!" Yuri suddenly shouted.
With the sound of footsteps crunching on the gravel, Yuri walked to Rikuno's side, while Roman stood next to Artyom.
"Get ready."
The moment the target bullet was fired, Yuri and Roman suddenly drew their pistols and fired two shots at the ground less than half a meter away from each other!
Debris flew everywhere, and huge gunshots rang out right next to their ears. This was all to ensure the sniper's focus and shooting accuracy under extreme conditions!
Lu Ye instinctively shrank his neck, and the muzzle of his gun swayed slightly, but with the help of [Perception LV1], Lu Ye quickly adjusted his shooting posture.
"Bang!" Target hit again!
Artyom didn't even blink! And it hit the bullseye again!
Based on the contest just now, Artyom is the victor.
But Yuri looked at Lu Ye, gasped, and was shocked.
This kid's perception of his surroundings and his shooting accuracy are so strong, he's practically a born killer!
Yuri glanced at Roman, announced "A draw!", and then returned to his position.
Upon hearing the result, Artyom couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Ye, who remained calm.
"Third item: 200-meter tactical maneuvering and shooting!"
"The task is to sprint between three abandoned minecart bunkers and fire the instant you stop. Hit the moving target!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The gravel underfoot made a screeching sound as it was crushed by the tactical boots.
Lu Ye clutched his aching back wound, enduring the pain to complete the tactical maneuver.
However, firing suddenly while moving exceeded the limit of the [Basic Shooting (LV5)] bonus, and coupled with the effects of his injuries, his third shot slightly missed the bullseye.
Artyom, relying on his honed memory, executed the shot flawlessly and won the round.
Wolf, who was watching from the sidelines, breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw Lu Ye make a mistake, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead: "Thank God, this kid finally lost a game!"
Yuri secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It would be truly unbelievable if he could still fight Artyom to a draw. It's normal to have weaknesses."
"Lu! You're amazing!" Artyom exclaimed after seeing Lu Ye's score. "If you were fully recovered, we might still have tied."
Hearing the words of comfort, Lu Ye gave a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Next, we have to win! [Breathing Control (Passive)], it's up to you!"
"The fourth item: 500-meter extreme pressure shooting!" Roman continued to announce.
The two men had to sprint 100 meters with their gear on, then immediately lie down for a 500-meter sniper kill.
"run!"
Lu Ye darted out like a cheetah, the intense movement causing his heart to pound like a drum and his blood to boil in his veins.
Upon reaching the finish line, he collapsed to the ground.
The moment he lay down, [Breathing Control (Passive)] was triggered!
The previously soaring heart rate seemed to be forcibly suppressed by a pair of invisible hands, instantly calming down.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the target 500 meters away shattered!
Artyom, who was lying next to Lu Ye, was still panting and trying to catch his breath. When he heard Lu Ye's gunshot, his hand trembled and the bullet missed the target.
"Damn it!" Artyom put down his gun and scoffed, "Are your lungs made of steel? You sprint 100 meters without even getting out of breath? Machines need time to cool down!"
Roman looked at Lu Ye, his eyes once again filled with shock. This guy's body was simply defying medical common sense!
Yuri, standing next to him, also looked shocked. When he saw Vorov's face, which looked as if he had swallowed a dead fly, he burst into laughter.
"Colonel, I'm increasingly convinced that exchanging five percent of our profits for Lu Ye is a sure-fire way to make a profit!"
Wolf gritted his teeth, his face turning ashen.
Roman suppressed his thoughts of studying Lu Ye's body, glanced at the sky, and saw that the sun had completely set, and the entire mine was swallowed by darkness.
Fifthly: Unassisted nighttime blind sniping at 800 meters!
