Girls und War

If you think about it carefully, this seems to be the norm for ace snipers.

Her direct supervisor may not necessarily understand sniping, so arranging a training plan for her is like trying to catch a mouse by dog ​​and meddling in other people's business.

As long as she is assigned tasks during combat, that's it. Nothing else has anything to do with her.

As for tactical coordination, that is even less necessary.

This group of orphan snipers, each one is a lone wolf, and putting them together with their teammates will produce a negative buff.

How can you even know what teamwork is?

So Xia Shu stayed away from the hustle and bustle of the world, sat in the armory, and happily cleaned his new guns.

A few new guns.

The commands outside were deafening. Xia Shu poured a little gun oil on the gun cloth and poked the gun barrel with a gun brush.

When he had almost finished wiping, he carefully observed the inner wall of the gun barrel in the light from the door.

It feels like the beginning of a movie, the scene where you look at the world through a gunhole.

Just as I was thinking about it, a girl's smiling face appeared from the threaded hole of the gun muzzle.

Xia Shu looked up and saw Juncus, who had just finished training, standing at the door, sweating profusely.

It looked like he was jogging all the way here.

"Is the training over?" Xia Shu looked at Juncus's innocent smile and smiled unconsciously.

"Yeah, that's it." She nodded and quickly asked Xia Shu, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"We just finished training, don't you want to take a rest?" Xia Shu already had a full understanding of the psychological state of these princess soldiers.

Rush shook his head, smiled and said, "Not tired."

Then he carefully sat down next to Xia Shu.

Seeing this, Xia Shu picked up a box of bullets, handed it to Junco and said, "Then help me clean the bullets."

Rush nodded quickly, with a happy smile on his face.

Then he carefully polished each bullet in the box one by one.

Xia Shu sat beside him, cleaning the barrel of a gun, and said casually, "When I was on vacation, I went on a space trip with Haruka and the others."

Rush paused for a moment, but quickly continued.

"Haruka, do you know?" Xia Shu asked.

"I don't know..." Rush answered honestly.

"The second-ranked sniper, always the second-best."

"Oh—that." Rush said with a look of sudden realization, "He's Smiley Face's friend, right?"

Xia Shu didn't detect the temptation in her words, and just said with a look of reminiscence, "I saw her on the big recruitment banner. She's really beautiful. Come to think of it, she can also be seen on many military programs every year.

"You can't tell it online, but when we're together in real life, you can really feel it—he's a very perfect person."

Rush said "Oh" and asked with a wandering look, "Is it beautiful?"

"It looks good, it really does." Xia Shu said what was in his heart honestly.

Rush lowered his head a little disappointedly.

But Xia Shu definitely didn't bring up this topic to provoke Juncus.

She paused briefly before continuing, "After we arrived in space, we flew from the elevator to the first satellite belt. Then, I saw the moon from up there."

"The moon?" Rush suddenly became interested.

"Well, there are two very far and very big moons. They are very clear and beautiful when seen from space." Xia Shu used his hands to measure the size of the moons.

Speaking of which, they once talked about the moon during the recruits' camping training.

Unfortunately, there is no moon in the imaginary battlefield.

Rush's wish - to watch the moon with Natsuki - was only half fulfilled after all.

But it's the best half.

When I think back to that scene, everything is still vivid in my mind.

Although Juncus can't see, she can hear. So she can still hear it clearly.

Unfortunately for the audience, there is still one person missing from the scene at this time.

I always feel like something is missing.

But it doesn’t matter, things are always getting better.

Zhan Ren and Jia, who were outside the door, finally understood what was happening inside.

Zhan Jian gradually understood what Xia Shu and Juncao were talking about. But what she was more concerned about was what happened between Haruka and Xia Shu.

She frowned and looked at Jia, who also frowned, as if thinking about something again.

Zhan Jian couldn't understand why the two of them were standing outside the door and eavesdropping. It seemed like they were doing something shameful.

But at this time, Zhan Jian really felt that he shouldn't go in.

This is a kind of implicit emotional awareness.

But Jia is different.

She is different from Zhan Jian or Mi Yu.

She is such a special girl, gentle on the outside but tough on the inside.

So, she simply stepped in from the front with her sword.

"Hey, Xia Shu, are you still cleaning your gun?" Jia asked Xia Shu with a bright smile that was not at all artificial.

"Well, you are here too?" Xia Shu raised his head and smiled at the two of them.

Zhan Zhan was still a little reserved, but Jia had already sat down next to Xia Shu calmly and asked her, "Do you need any help?"

"It's nothing, I've almost finished cleaning it. Can you guys help me organize the holster?" Xia Shu put the gun box in front of him and started assembling the gun.

Jia took the gun box and winked at Zhan Jian.

Zhan Jian hurried forward and offered help.

Business as usual.

394. Transfer

Rush doesn't like scenes with a large number of people, probably because she is not used to inserting some lines with higher social adaptability into the process of recognizing faces, and making a small number of participatory speeches on topics generated in order to integrate into the group.

But Jia is always the one who feels most at ease in such an environment.

Perhaps her living environment has made her accustomed to being the center of group attention, so while she is the topic leader, she can also cleverly take care of everyone so that they do not feel an inharmonious sense of alienation towards any individual.

Good family education will give birth to social monsters who can easily adapt to human groups. This is not just talk.

But there are counterexamples.

For example, Zhan Jian, compared to Jia's image of a well-connected upper-city socialite, is obviously like a socially awkward young lady who has lived in seclusion for a long time.

This situation forms a dramatic contrast to the level of integration during training.

Are social interaction and work just two sides of the same coin, unable to complement each other?

Is there anyone who can balance socializing and working hard at the same time?

The answer is yes.

However, these people have innate learning abilities in all kinds of things that ordinary people cannot touch. Or perhaps they don't need to learn, and naturally display their unique advantages, which ordinary people can't envy.

For example, good-looking people are naturally the center of attention at gatherings; people with high concentration are naturally easy to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of work and study.

People like Xia Shu.

Her advantages meant that she didn't need to try to fit in with the group. When she approached a group, the group would naturally accept her.

Or if she were there, she would naturally become a star, attracting countless celestial bodies to surround her.

Sometimes, she may be completely unaware of this and never notice the undercurrents happening around her.

Like now, Xia Shu originally just wanted to talk about what happened during his vacation and share some interesting experiences.

I vaguely recalled two or three interesting experiences I had with my friend (Rush), and I just told them as they came to mind, that's all.

But such a simple statement stimulated the fragile and sensitive nerves of some people - the dull Xia Shu was unaware of this.

So when Jia rushed in with the battle blade, the more sensitive and delicate rush directly felt the hostility between the girls with a bitter illusion.

Xia Shu just felt that his conversation with Juncus, about the moon, was suddenly interrupted.

But Jia quickly brought up several more group-oriented and socially significant topics, causing Xia Shu to quickly forget the brief exchange. Perhaps she would remember it the next time they were alone again.

But I don’t know when I’ll have the next opportunity to be alone like this.

Sometimes, the change in quantity and quality of feelings is accumulated through such small details.

But Jia has her own ambitions and expectations. She wants to be the winner, not the pathetic loser with only the desire to be loved.

So she wouldn't give rush too many chances.

In a sense, she had already thoroughly understood Xia Shu's psychological habits. Even ten more rushes would not be her match.

Social monster, so scary.

However, just when Jia was planning to press on with his victory and launch the next strategy to increase Xia Shu's favorability, the assembly whistle blew again.

"All members of the Red Dragon Squadron, gather at the square in ten minutes!" Qingxian's voice rang out at the door of the barracks.

Natsuki turned to look at the Glaive and asked, "Do you have any other training?"

Zhan Jian immediately shook his head and said, "Looking at the situation, today's training has ended, and there should be nothing to worry about later."

Xia Shu nodded.

At this time, Qingxian just walked into the door of the armory and was stunned when he saw a large group of people inside.

"What are you all doing here? Having a meal together?" she asked.

The girls all smiled, seemingly needing no explanation.

Qingxian looked at the several sniper rifles that were gradually being assembled in front of Xia Shu and asked, "How are the guns performing? Are they okay?"

"Very good." Xia Shu replied, then asked, "What are you gathering for? Is there something going on?"

"Yeah, something's up. We might be on a mission." He pointed at a few privates and said, "Don't stay here. Pack your belongings quickly. We might be moving."

Then he supervised the girls to go to the barracks tent.

Xia Shu quickly gathered the guns and quickly finished arranging them. He then carried the cheapest bee stinger and quickly walked out of the armory.

The girls quickly gathered in the camp square, and from this side, it seemed that the Phoenix Squadron had also gathered.

Qingxian counted the number of people in the squadron and then nodded to Doragon.

After confirming that everyone was present, Doragon immediately said to them, "Now everyone knows what happened when we were on the aircraft carrier. The situation in the Two Rivers is a little tense. The headquarters just issued an order for us to assist in the defense of the Two Rivers—with Phoenix Squadron."

"Then let's not waste any more time. The combat troops will depart first, and Qingxian will lead the main force to the assembly point to board the vehicle. Xiaozhao, you will be responsible for the logistics transfer, and I will go with you later. Everyone should proceed according to the standing retreat plan."

After saying that, he arranged the tasks for each group very quickly, and the members immediately dispersed under the leadership of their respective team leaders.

At this time, the captain of the Phoenix Squadron had just started his speech.

This gives us a glimpse into the Red Dragon Squadron's style of operation.

Watching the girls in the squadron packing up all kinds of equipment and taking them away, Xia Shu also called Juncao and went to the armory.

She was to be transferred along with several of her guns.

After the sniper rifles were put into the box and sorted, Xiao Zhao happened to bring the tool man into the armory.

So Xia Shu asked two "people" to help her move the expensive sniper equipment out of the armory.

There were two large trucks parked outside, one loaded with a lot of logistical supplies. Xia Shu asked the tool man to lift the equipment onto the other truck.

After a while, the logistics equipment and weapons were gradually loaded onto the vehicles. Xiao Zhao saw that the work was completed, and took Xia Shu with him to the armored vehicle.
