Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Justice League in Action (9)
Rick finally agreed to accept Wu Peng as a student. It wasn't that he was kind, but that Colleen begged him.
When separating from Colleen, Wu Peng smiled and handed her a thick envelope and said, "This is an apprenticeship ceremony, to show your heart." Please don't refuse, or I won't have the face to see Watson in the future. β
Colleen thought about it, took it very generously, and smiled: "Okay, then thank you." β
"It's me, thank you."
"May I ask, why didn't you give the money directly to Rick and choose to give it to me?" Colleen asked, confused.
"Is there a difference between you and Rick?" Wu Peng asked rhetorically.
It wasn't until Wu Peng and Rick's car disappeared at the end of the road that Colleen faintly understood Wu Peng's deep meaning. The reason why he did this was because he inherited Watson's favor. He only recognizes this favor and does not recognize anything else.
This man is really cautious......
The two soon arrived at a shooting arena on a barren hill in the New Territories, where there were few people as it wasn't a match day.
Rick went to the gun storage room to get the gun, and Wu Peng simply went to the shooting range in the back to check the environment.
This shooting gallery is different from ordinary shooting training places, in the field, there are many different sets, which simulate the streets, factories, banks, schools and other virtual scenes.
The target here is not a traditional ring target, but a moving humanoid target!
This shooting range is called IPSC, which means practical shooting. It originated from the military. The dynamic shooting training of the police special forces is mainly to train shooters to achieve the most accurate shooting level in the shortest time in various complex environments.
People who like to play practical shooting are either professional gunners, like Rick; Either it's a rich man who is looking for a sense of pleasure in killing~.
After all, hitting a humanoid target and hitting a ring target are completely different from the senses, and they can give people the illusion of killing.
Especially when hitting a moving humanoid target in a complex environment, this illusion will be even stronger.
Rick quickly came over with a box, opened it and said, "Look, what gun do you like?" β
Wu Peng took a fancy to the gun on the far left at a glance, picked it up directly and said, "What kind of gun is this?" β
A strange look flashed in Rick's eyes, and he said slowly: "This is Glock 18C, which I have modified, with a bomb load of 21 rounds and a caliber of 9 mm. It has both single and burst modes. β
"Oh?" Wu Peng's interest immediately increased, "How can you send it in a row?" β
Rick pointed to a button on the left side of the chamber and said, "This lever, down is a burst." β
"There are three unique features of this gun, first, it does not have a safety device in the traditional sense, but a trigger safety, after loading, you can shoot directly by pulling the trigger, allowing you to shoot faster."
"Second, if you choose burst mode, you can use all the bullets in the magazine in half a second as long as you press the trigger."
"Thirdly, the body of this gun is basically made of engineering plastic, but it is also stronger than metal, and it is lighter, more resistant to moisture and scalding, and better maintained. The most important thing is that this gun can be carried through the security check, and it can't be detected......"
Looking at the sickly ruddy flush on Rick's face, Wu Peng's heart chilled slightly, this murderer, does he have this tendency now?
Killing people and liking to kill are two different concepts. The former has a variety of causes, while the latter is a drug-like addiction.
Rick, it's the latter!
Wu Peng said quietly: "Can you disassemble the gun?" I need to understand how every part of this gun works. β
A hint of strangeness flashed in Rick's eyes: "Why don't you shoot a few shots first?" β
Wu Peng said very firmly: "I'm not in a hurry, come step by step." β
Rick became more and more curious about Wu Peng's identity.
He found that Wu Peng must have a very clear goal in doing things. He would break things down into parts and do it one by one, with little to no outside influence.
For example, who is new to learning guns, who doesn't want to try a few bullets just after touching a gun?
But Wu Peng didn't even have any idea about this, he seemed to have planned his own steps and plans to learn guns before he came, even if Rick was a teacher, he didn't want to change this.
This is a person with strong self-control and rigorous thinking logic!
What the hell does he do?
This whole afternoon, Wu Peng didn't even fire a shot.
He stayed by Rick's side and listened to Rick explain to him how each part of the gun works together, what it works, what it does, and so on.
Wu Peng listened very carefully, and once something was unclear, he would immediately ask questions. Even if it is an unpopular and boring question such as "why is the grip handguard not at right angle to the barrel", Wu Peng has to get to the bottom of it and have to come up with an answer.
Rick is often proud that no one knows more about guns than him in Xiangjiang, but after an afternoon, Wu Peng actually had more than a dozen questions that stumped him!
These questions may sound naΓ―ve at first, but when you think about it, they're actually important. For example, when the trigger is pulled and the bullet is fired, how much force does each part of the gun exert on it? How do these forces connect?
It's hard to imagine that Wu Peng, a novice who learns guns, would be interested in this kind of problem, but it is precisely because of this, after an afternoon of teaching gun theory, Rick found that his understanding of guns has become a little deeper with Wu Peng's various novel questions!
This was a pleasant surprise to him!
As soon as Rick got home in the evening, he couldn't wait to dig out a lot of foreign language firearms knowledge books from under the bed, and looked through them hungrily.
He also wants to know the answers to the questions he didn't answer today!
Colleen walked over, took the initiative to rub his shoulders for his boyfriend, and asked, "How is your new student?" β
Rick put down the book, thought about it seriously for a long time, and said, "He's very suitable for learning guns." Because whether it is his way of thinking or his way of doing things, it is very much like a gun ready to shoot at any time. Rigorous, ruthless, and meticulous. β
"Isn't this man dangerous?"
"Dangerous?" Rick was stunned for a moment, tasted it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "You're right, it's dangerous." β
The next afternoon, Wu Peng arrived at the shooting gallery on time and started his second course.
Rick was waiting for him early in the office area, with two Glock 18cs on the table in front of him.
"What are you going to do today?" Rick said loudly to Wu Peng, who came over, "It's still the same as yesterday?" β
Wu Peng was a little surprised how he looked more positive than him today, but it was a good thing for him. It's good to be positive, so you can learn more earlier.
"Today I want to learn how to dismantle guns and assemble guns." Wu Peng said.
Sure enough, he has his own rhythm and thinking. I, as a teacher, have to follow the students' arrangements......
Rick smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Okay, I found the answers to a few of your questions yesterday. β
"Really? That's great. It just so happened that I had a couple of new questions in my mind last night. β
"Haha, that's a coincidence!"
The news that Wu Peng began to learn guns is known to many well-intentioned people. Everyone's eyes were attracted to Wu Peng, and no one noticed that several undercurrents were quietly surging, from the Xiangjiang River to the mainland, rapidly converging in a way that people could not perceive.
On the same day, the Xiangjiang Wireless News Morning Post briefly broadcast a message: "In view of the serious shortage of staffing in the police station, at the regular meeting of the police station this morning, the senior police officials unanimously approved the topic of 'cooperation between the police and the people to jointly maintain law and order in Hong Kong'. β
At the same time, a number of print media such as "Ming Pao" and "Ta Kung Pao" published such a notice of name change in a very inconspicuous place: "I would like to inform all citizens of Hong Kong that with immediate effect, the Heung Kong Biker Party has officially changed its name to the Justice Party, and this information will take effect on July 1, 1994. β
Such an inexplicable news naturally can't attract anyone's attention.
