Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger

Not sure how much time had passed, Luna was the first to put down her gun...

The .22 rifle is said to not be very powerful, but it still has some recoil, and after nearly a hundred rounds, a person can easily get tired of it.

Luna stood up and cast a fierce glance at Yue Yi, handed the rifle to Angel, letting the second sister teach the little brother a lesson, then lazily curled up like a cat around Mountain Eagle's leg...

"Dad, shooting isn't fun, let's go out and play..."

Mountain Eagle instinctively nodded, then picked Luna up and continued to observe his son's situation...

His target was a large tree 35 meters away, and as his body gradually adapted, the spread of his bullets was becoming more concentrated.

With the more proficient Angel joining, Yue Yi's rhythm sped up a bit, but this kid only adjusted for two shots before the rhythm sped up with him, and gradually, as time passed, his accuracy improved too.

Until a sharp bird call echoed through the woods, and Yue Yi missed a shot, only then did he stop...

Mountain Eagle glanced at his watch, 38 minutes!

Seeing his son was clearly tired, Mountain Eagle took a piece of chocolate from his pocket and gave it to him, smiling: "Just now I heard an eagle's call, should we go in and take a look..."

Yue Yi unwrapped the chocolate, stuffed the slightly bitter dark chocolate into his mouth, and shouted at Luna, who was playfully making faces: "I won, I lasted longer than you..."

Upon hearing this, Luna wriggled, wanting to jump down from Mountain Eagle's arms to hit him...

Mountain Eagle shook his head with a laugh and tickled Luna under her arms, causing the girl to giggle hysterically, then said to Yue Yi: "Come with me, get some exercise, and relax your mind a bit..."

Xiao Wan noticed something was off, she pulled Marta over and asked: "What's wrong?"

Mountain Eagle laughed, patting his son's head: "Your son is a genius, just like his dad, no, better than his dad back then!"

Xiao Wan looked at the slightly pale Yue Yi, frowned and said: "What are you talking about?

Xiao Yi isn't feeling well, let him rest, don't let him run around!"

Mountain Eagle firmly shook his head, saying: "I know what's wrong, I'll take him for some exercise, and we'll make some delicious food to replenish him tonight..."

Xiao Wan listened, a little worried, and said: "What's happening? Tell me clearly...

Xiao Yi has been having these episodes quite often these past few months..."

As she spoke, Xiao Wan pinched Luna's cheek and said: "Every time it's after fighting with this little girl..."

Mountain Eagle looked at the slightly embarrassed Luna, laughing: "It's nothing, boys getting beaten is normal, if you can't even beat girls, you deserve it.

But Fist is serious when fighting, I reckon you'll be getting beaten in a few years..."

Luna wrinkled her little nose and said: "I won't lose, especially not to Fist, that little runt."

Mountain Eagle watched Luna try to make a fierce face, laughing heartily: "Winning and losing isn't important, you're siblings!"

Saying that, Mountain Eagle whistled, summoning Balang and its two sons...

Then he said to the older Zack: "Zack, carry a gun, let's go check the woods..."

"Yes sir!"

Zack was able to call Xiao Wan 'Mum', but he still maintained a certain reverence for Mountain Eagle, even appearing a bit reserved in his presence.

After receiving the order, he quickly picked up Yue Yi's Ruger 10/22 rifle, checked the chamber, loaded a new magazine, and strapped the gun to his back.

Angel, beside him, similarly picked up Luna's rifle and slung it over her shoulder.

Xiao Wan saw this group of kids showing distinctly different personalities after meeting Mountain Eagle, she slightly frowned, holding the only normal-looking Little Ava, as she said to Mountain Eagle: "I need an explanation..."

Mountain Eagle put Luna down, then while signaling the kids to follow, he pulled Xiao Wan along as they walked, saying: "You need to hire some good coaches for the kids, fighting coaches, shooting coaches..."

As he spoke, Mountain Eagle rubbed his chin regretfully and said: "I should spend more time with the kids, I'm better at teaching them how to shoot than many so-called coaches."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan frowned and asked: "What exactly are you talking about, what's going on with Xiao Yi?"

While walking, Mountain Eagle heard the sound of playing behind him. He turned back to glance, noting that the female bodyguard had followed them with her weapon once they left the cabin's range.

Adjusting the hat on Xiao Wan's head, Mountain Eagle exhaled and said: "Zack and the others are different from other kids, their birth was by design, so their physical fitness and intellect are superior to ordinary people.

Xiao Yi isn't like them, but Xiao Yi has a strong competitive spirit and focus.

I had this ability from a young age, but when I was his age, I could only maintain focus for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Even when I got to junior high, I could only maintain it for about 35 minutes before needing a break.

But even so, it was enough for me to complete all my studies...

I didn't have the talent of those science geniuses, I got into Jinling University solely through concentration.

In a focused state, a person's learning efficiency is very high, even their movement completion rate is very high, meaning they learn everything quickly.

You said Xiao Yi gets tired sometimes after fighting with Luna; that's because he's seriously trying to win.

When I was on a business trip in St. Petersburg, I practiced wrestling regularly at a club, and I would experience the same situation.

Sometimes, even just after a round or two, my body wasn't tired, but my mind was exhausted!

It took me less than six months then to defeat all the coaches at the club.

Back then, my physical condition hadn't reached the level it is now..."

Saying this, Mountain Eagle glanced at his son who was half a head shorter than Luna, and with a smile, he said, "He's using his brain. When one's mind is highly focused, this situation arises.

Find the right coaches for them, let them choose the projects they like, and these kids will create miracles.

Be sure to include combat and shooting so they have the ability to protect themselves. The rest depends on their interests."

Xiao Wan listened and nodded slightly, saying, "Of course, I hope they can protect themselves, but are Luna and Xiao Yi's conditions really as mysterious as you say?

I haven't noticed anything special about them usually; they're still just kids!"

Mountain Eagle laughed and said, "It's too stable over at East University; special talents require special stimulation and pressure to be discovered.

You surely wouldn't believe it, but Luna, holding a .22 pistol, can hit a running squirrel's pine cone without hurting the squirrel.

I didn't believe it at first either, but the reality is that Zack and the others have very strong dynamic vision abilities and physical coordination.

Of course, this is also related to the cruel training they underwent as children."

Xiao Wan nodded and then curiously said, "You said they are designed. Does that mean this kind of human modification technology can mass-produce genius children?"

Mountain Eagle thought about the laboratory's dreadful state, shook his head, and said, "All those infants are in your orphanage, and I don't think this is a good thing? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Now, people can modify genes to customize a child's hair color, pupil color, and even help a child avoid certain diseases genetically.

Those bastards at the Valley Laboratory used a lot of human experiments for comparison and found the keys to enhance children's dynamic vision, physical balance, and even strength at the genetic level.

However, the consequences of this artificial intervention are hard to define. They seem to have created a batch of genius children, but who knows if their so-called genetic interventions have left any sequels for those kids?"

Listening, Xiao Wan frowned and said, "The orphanage volunteers reported that those children generally have allergy symptoms.

Although their allergens differ, the symptoms are quite severe, far beyond simple skin rashes..."

Speaking, Xiao Wan glanced back at Zack and Angel, and softly said, "Zack is severely allergic to peanuts, and now all peanut products in our home have been thrown away.

Angel's pupils are fading, she's also peanut allergic, and her development level is faster than other 8-year-old children, exhibiting signs of precocious puberty...

I had only heard about peanut allergies before; it almost scared me to death then, and it was only at the hospital that I discovered the problem.

Now, we keep epinephrine and dexamethasone at home...

As for Luna and Eva, I haven't noticed any issues, yeah, just Luna seems a bit too energetic."

Listening, Mountain Eagle tried to pinch Little Ava's small nose with a smile and said, "Luna said people at the laboratory cursed her as a defective product because her growth didn't meet their expected levels.

Now it seems this so-called 'defective product' might be a blessing, but one should still be cautious.

Honestly, these foreigners really dare to mess around, shouting 'God bless' while constantly attempting to push ethical boundaries and break past God's limits!"

Looking at her husband, Xiao Wan hesitated a bit before saying, "How about you, how do you feel now?

Back then, the doctor said your genes mutated due to the influence of the gene virus; do you feel anything odd with your body?"

Mountain Eagle was momentarily taken aback, and shook his head saying, "So far, I haven't noticed any side effects, just that my endurance is much better, and my strength is increasing.

Don't worry about me; I've actually moved past the side effects, and I also found the source of the gene virus.

A group of people got exposed to the same gene virus a month and a half ago, and now they are all dead."

Seeing Xiao Wan's face turning pale, Mountain Eagle wrapped his arm around her shoulder while stepping through the snow in the woods, lightly saying, "That's fate!

With you all here, I can turn misfortune into fortune!

As long as you're all right, I can overcome any difficulty...

Isn't everything fine now?"

Xiao Wan pinched Mountain Eagle's arm hard, just about to say something when Balang, who had been following the kids, suddenly let out a low growl...

As Mountain Eagle looked over, two chubby Malinois dashed deep into the woods...

Watching Yue Yi and Luna trudging along while yelling as they chased after them, Mountain Eagle held back Xiao Wan who was going to stop them and said, "Let him go, there's no danger here, only novelties he's never seen."

A few minutes later, Mountain Eagle got proven wrong...

Soon sharp bird calls emanated from the woods, intermingled with cries of pain from the children amidst a chaotic scramble...

"Ouch..."

Mountain Eagle rubbed his sorely kicked calf, watching Xiao Wan charge into the woods with heavy steps, ignoring the strange looks from three passing female bodyguards, and sat in the snow amused, watching the spectacle...
