Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger - Chapter 745 - 694: Exceptional Talent
Marta was the first person Mountain Eagle met in Kamui. This girl is a descendant of the Arctic Fox and has always dreamed of becoming a mercenary.
Mountain Eagle's first task was to babysit Marta, and then little by little, he destroyed her mercenary dreams, elevating her perspective to a whole new level.
This girl is only nineteen this year. When Tiffany and Lilith arrived in Thailand, the first thing they did was to take in this little sister who is also an Arctic Fox descendant.
The three of them went through a period of adjustment and even flew to the Philippines to help another Arctic Fox descendant solve a small problem...
At this time, Marta was at the height of her spirits, only to find herself treated like a childcare scout, being arranged to live in a cabin.
Even though she shared the place with three bodyguards, Griffin, Red Sparrow, and Hummingbird, Marta still felt underestimated.
Her boss actually doubted that someone like her, who has worked at a shooting range for years, had worse marksmanship than a nine-year-old child...
Can you believe it?
Seeing Marta rushing out to drag Zack in, letting him choose a gun for a contest.
Mountain Eagle, feeling a bit worried, organized Xiao Wan and said to Zack, "Zack, if you want to, just choose a gun and give it a try with her. If not, just ignore her.
I know she definitely can't match you..."
Zack forcefully freed himself from Marta's arm, looking at this Big Sister who was glaring at him with fire in her eyes, he squeezed out a small smile and said, "There's no point in competing, just knowing how to shoot is useless in Alaska."
Xiao Wan, seeing Marta's insistent demeanor, pulled Mountain Eagle and said, "Zack is still young..."
Mountain Eagle shook his head, amused, and said, "Age has nothing to do with marksmanship. This kid and Angel, Luna, they're in the same batch, they're different from ordinary kids."
Xiao Wan, curious about Mountain Eagle's mysterious expression, asked, "What's different?"
Mountain Eagle glanced at the indignant Marta and said, "Their shooting skills are definitely a bit better than Marta's."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle looked at Zack, who didn't seem all that enthusiastic about guns, and said with a smile, "Kid, pick a gun and let Marta see how a real expert shoots."
Marta, seeing Zack's hesitant look, said unhappily, "Just pick one if you're told to. If you beat me, I will..."
Zack didn't wait for Marta to mention the bet. He voluntarily took a Glock 17 from the gun case and said, "Whatever..."
Zack's nonchalant attitude infuriated Marta...
This girl dragged Zack out the door to an open spot and personally carried a wooden board, intending to set up a target.
The others were not interested in this kind of children's competition, but Xiao Wan insistently pulled Mountain Eagle along to follow. First, they gathered the kids to prevent any accidents, and then complained a little, "There's no protection here at all, is it really okay to mess around like this?"
Mountain Eagle laughed and shook his head, saying while turning over a small disc launcher from under the porch bench, "Teaching everyone to use weapons safely is more effective than any protection."
After that, Mountain Eagle called out to the busy Marta and personally put on a pair of tactical glasses with earphones for Xiao Wan, and said, "You're my wife, you can be safe in the country, but as long as you're abroad, you have to adapt to this environment.
I trust Griffin and the others can keep you safe, but I hope you can protect yourself as well.
Not just you, Xiao Yi too!
We have a whole winter, and I will teach him how to shoot...
After you go back, ask our dad if it's possible to get a shooting range license, then I can bring over some foreign coaches.
The Olympics have shooting events too. Even if these kids never use guns on people, target shooting is a good choice."
Xiao Wan had lived in East for years, making it hard to quickly adapt to Mountain Eagle's current lifestyle.
However, she was good at one thing: not questioning irrelevant issues.
Mountain Eagle said learning to shoot was useful, so let the kids learn. Focusing on safety as much as possible was her concern.
Watching Mountain Eagle fiddle with the disc launcher, then gathered Zhang and Marta into the porch, Xiao Wan thought for a moment and forcibly gathered some active kids behind her in the porch and said to Mountain Eagle, "I'll try when I get back..."
Looking at the distant snow-covered field, Xiao Wan said, "Are you sure there's no problem?"
Mountain Eagle handed out earmuffs to the kids, then said to Marta, "It's boring to shoot at a dead target. Shooting clay targets with a handgun really tests your skill.
I set the launcher's power to the lowest, two clays will be released at a time, each gets ten bullets, whoever hits more wins...
No problem, right?"
Marta was no longer the silly girl she used to be. Once Mountain Eagle announced the competition, she realized she might have misjudged...
But she couldn't admit defeat now; she gritted her teeth and nodded, "No problem..."
Mountain Eagle loved these young ones who keep trying despite setbacks. He placed the disc launcher on the steps and let his son hold the remote...
"Xiao Yi, listen to their command later. When they say release, just press the button..."
Yue Yi nodded vigorously, then instinctively pressed the button...
"Boom..."
Two discs, about 15 centimeters in diameter, made of plaster and resin, were launched into the air...
While Marta was still observing the flight trajectory of the discs, nine-year-old Zack suddenly raised his hand and fired...
"Bang bang"
A pair of shots so fast they were hard to see shattered the discs that had flown about 35 meters...
"Pop pop" went the crisp sounds, and Marta's confidence shattered along with them.
Mountain Eagle looked at Marta's bewildered expression, laughed, patted Yue Yi on the head, and said, "Release, release, release..."
According to Mountain Eagle's command, Yue Yi pressed the button every two to three seconds...
Zack, concentrated, acted like a robot, continuously pulling the trigger...
Eventually, having adapted to the flight path of the discs, Zack even began to try intercepting them with bullets, shattering them during their ascent.
With innate dynamic vision and diligent training, Zack demonstrated an astonishing level of marksmanship.
In reality, if it were simply about hitting 15 or 25-meter targets, Zack might not have been much stronger than Marta, but for moving targets, these kids from the lab had Olympic champion-level talent.
Watching Zack hit 18 discs with 17 bullets, Marta sighed in frustration, then embraced the child whose height barely reached her chest, holding his head as if trying to pry it open...
Quick-witted Luna rushed over, tugged at Marta's pants, and leaned back forcefully...
"Let go, you crazy woman, you're going to suffocate Zack...
Let go, or I'll have Harlow and Katie bite you..."
Marta, as if letting off steam, ruffled Zack's hair and then walked over to Mountain Eagle, hugged his sturdy waist, placed her head on his chest, and mumbled, "Fine, you win..."
As she spoke, Marta rubbed her sore nose, sullenly saying, "Am I really that terrible? I can't even compare to a child..."
Mountain Eagle raised his hands and showed Xiao Wan a helpless expression, then patted Marta on the back, heartlessly saying, "Playing the pity card doesn't work, Marta. We agreed on three days, not a day less."
Feeling Marta hug him tighter, knowing she was trying to trap him, Mountain Eagle reluctantly said, "Cleaning such a big house alone is indeed exhausting...
Well, since you're also someone who works at the shooting range, I'm going to practice shooting with my wife and kids these days, and I need a qualified little assistant.
I can't be available every day, so you'll be in charge of practicing shooting with my wife in the future."
Hearing this, Marta glanced at the smiling Xiao Wan, stuck out her tongue, released her grip, then pretended to hold a skirt and curtsied, saying, "At your service, ma'am!"
Xiao Wan was amused by Marta...
This girl from Ukraine was sweet-looking and petite. Although her manners were a bit abrupt, Xiao Wan could see she was just being playful.
Besides, Xiao Wan knew what kind of person her husband was better than anyone...
Men are all attracted to beauty, but Mountain Eagle rarely lets his head be turned by women. Otherwise, Daria and Yuliy, those two genuine beauties, would have long since gotten into his bed. ๐ป๐๐๐ฆ๐ธ๐๐ท๐โด๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธโด๐ฎ
Simply put, he's clear-headed and takes responsibility for his actions, not adding unnecessary trouble for a few moments of pleasure.
Communication between women is sometimes easier than between men. Although it was her first time meeting Marta, Xiao Wan naturally held her hand and quickly engaged her with topics like makeup, bags, sports, fashion, leisureโanything that would spark Marta's interest...
During the conversation, Xiao Wan glanced at Mountain Eagle, seeing him hand a .22 sports rifle to both his son and Luna, then just briefly taught them the basics of holding, loading, and firing before directing his son to shoot towards the woods.
Mountain Eagle was a man of action. As someone who'd been there himself, he knew well what boys thought when holding a gun. They didn't want to hear theories, but aimed and pulled the trigger.
He had actually already given a round of instruction months ago. Now, he was just repeating the essential lessons of gun handling while continuously correcting any bad habits or motions Yue Yi exhibited during shooting.
This approach was more efficient than mere explanation, as improper gun handling and bad habits usually manifested themselves as discomfort while shooting or poor accuracy.
By combining practical exercises, it's easier for trainees to find their rhythm.
Yue Yi inherited Mountain Eagle's shooting talent and enthusiasm, but compared to Luna beside him, Yue Yi was slightly lacking.
The gap in their visual abilities was noticeable, yet Yue Yi had one advantage: focus and competitiveness!
The more relaxed and excellent Luna was, the more focused Yue Yi became.
The competitive desire and concentration that emanated from his bones slightly moved Mountain Eagle...
