The last bullet

"Hao Lei PK Ren Liang?!" On the firing range, before the chief of staff could finish reading out the list of fighters of the "King of Guns," the officers and men of the Second Company of Sharp Knives could not sit still, and their regrets overflowed into words: "It is rare for a company to have two people entering the field at the same time, but what is unlucky is that the two draw each other's signatures!" ”

The fears of comrades-in-arms are not unfounded.

The ring is like a battlefield, on the stage, you have to win the first place, be the master of the ring. But there is only one Lord!

Compared with the restlessness of his comrades-in-arms, Hao Lei, as the protagonist, was overjoyed, as if he had won the jackpot. It is no wonder that for this peak duel, he has been preparing for a year, just waiting for the war drum to sound and shame before the snow.

Turning the clock back to last year, when Hao Lei was still a high-class soldier carrying "two turns." Don't look at his childish face, the marksmanship can be accurate, and all the veterans can only look at his back. However, the good times did not last long, and this "myth" came to an abrupt end when the soldier Ren Liang arrived in the same year. For this reason, the comrades-in-arms even gave birth to an exclamation: "If you are born of Lei, how can you be born bright?" ”

Soon, the two stood in the ring for the first time. The unthinkable happened, after three consecutive rounds of competition, the number of rings between the two was surprisingly consistent. If this continues, it will be difficult to distinguish between them, what should we do? The chief of staff on the viewing platform couldn't take it anymore, so he called the two men to his side and sat down on the floor and asked them to tell them what they really thought.

"Or let's change the 'channel'!" Ren Liang is a Native of Shandong, with a straightforward personality, and proposes a subject with a higher difficulty coefficient - hidden shooting. Concealed shooting, as the name suggests, the target is no longer motionless, but invisible from time to time. When the chief of staff listened, he patted his thigh and praised him one after another: "There is courage and courage!" ”

Some rejoice, some grieve. Hao Lei's face on the side instantly shrugged off, you must know that this year, he almost put all his energy into accurate shooting, at this time to propose to test the hidden shooting, it is tantamount to taking advantage of the void and catching his weakness!

10 rings, 10 rings, 9 rings... Unsurprisingly, Ren Liang's advantage became more and more obvious, 5 rounds and 49 rings, and without suspense, he won the medal of "King of guns". This box is happy, and the box is unwilling. "This is what the ancients called 'avoid its sharpness, hit its inertia', right? The class leader is really alive and useful! Since announcing the results, Hao Lei did not wait to see Ren Liang, and even spoke with a thorn.

"It's not a game, it's not!" Being ridiculed for no reason, Ren Liang was a little confused, muttering quietly. The instructor Li Gang was meticulous, and at a glance he saw his confusion, so he told Hao Lei about the matter and discussed it: Hao Lei was the only son in the family, he lost his father from childhood, and his mother pulled him up alone. The mother was distressed by her son, and had always been reluctant to let him become a soldier, and repeatedly called him to persuade him to retire from the army and come to the army to do work. However, Hao Lei, who was arrogant and arrogant, has been a military fan since he was a child, and it is difficult to touch a gun, how can he easily let go? After a protracted tug-of-war, the mother made concessions on the condition that her son receive a medal.

"And later?" Ren Liang chased after him. Instructor Li looked at him with a hint of apology on his face: "Do you remember that once I borrowed your 'King of Guns' medal for a few days... In those few days, Hao Lei's mother just came to the team..." The instructor's words ended, such as Daigo empowerment, which made Ren Liang suddenly wake up.

Ren Liang woke up, but Hao Lei fell deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself. Since then, he has changed like a person, no longer playing games, even his beloved historical novels have been shelved, and he has focused on training and shooting.

In a year, the two met again in a narrow way, but their moods were very different. According to guns, aiming, firing ... Looking at the first 4 shots all hit the bullseye, Hao Lei was confident, calculating in his heart, there was only one last shot left, small sample, wait and see! Suddenly, Hao Lei's right hand shook slightly, and a bad intuition instantly jumped out: maybe off target!

In such a peak duel arena, the appearance of off-target is tantamount to handing over the champion to someone. However, there was no turning back from the bow, and Hao Lei, who was playing abnormally, was blue in the face and slammed his fist into the ground vigorously. Ren Liang, who was on the side, heard the movement, immediately stopped shooting, closed the safety, turned his head and asked with concern: "What, off target?" Hao Lei was like a wronged child, silent. A few seconds later, as Ren Liang's last bullet was fired, the "King of Guns" ring game was over.

The ugly daughter-in-law still has to see her in-laws after all! Stepping off the shooting platform, Hao Lei was mentally prepared, it was not a big deal to fight again in the next year, and it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years! Who knows, the result announced by the referee surprised him - Hao Lei 5 shots 48 rings, Ren Liang 4 rounds 39 rings!

Lost and regained, Hao Lei was very happy, and even the corners of his eyes were smiling. After becoming famous in World War I, Hao Lei had unlimited scenery and became a business card of the company. Once, the resident school came to visit the company, and the instructor let Hao Lei serve as the narrator. Coming to the company honor room, Hao Lei walked in front, saying as he walked, and the students followed behind, listening intently.

Suddenly, a male student shouted ecstatically: "Come and see, two bullets through a hole!" Suddenly, everyone's eyes followed the sound, and they were surrounded by water. Hao Lei, who was walking in front, turned back and found that they were watching the target paper they used to participate in the "King of Guns" ring competition not long ago. I remember that the instructor said at that time that this target paper was a testimony to the officers and men of the company fighting bravely to be the first, and it must be collected well!

Hao Lei squeezed into the crowd, carefully removed the target paper from the wall, looked at it with wide eyes, and looked at it again, if it was really two bullet holes superimposed on top of each other, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "How is it so coincidental, I didn't find it before?" So, I didn't go off target and hit 6 bullets on the target? My God – got it, good brother! Hao Lei's ears sounded again than the sound of the shooting range reporting target: "Hao Lei 5 rounds 48 rings, Ren Liang 4 rounds 39 rings ..."
