Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 8 Death Number
After waiting for a few minutes, the big black man Bacchus hurried back with a long gun and a few bags of bullets.
"Captain! The training equipment has been brought." Bakus put the equipment on the table in front of Li Jiu and the others and reported. This guy seemed to be very afraid of the beautiful girl captain Kaqi, and his expression was solemn and serious.
"Well, okay. AUG99, take your equipment and follow me to the shooting range to start training." Kaqi glanced at the M16 assault rifle on the table and the three packs of bullets beside it, nodded, and then turned and left.
Looking at the M16, Li Jiu was a little excited. Although the M16 was not a powerful weapon in the line of fire, it was a real thing after all, and the one he had played with in the game was just a virtual prop.
Li Jiu picked up the M16, looked at it curiously, then grabbed the three packs of bullets and prepared to leave.
"Hi, man, thanks for what I said just now. My name is Bacchus, as the captain has just said. According to the Chinese saying, we are brothers in the same trench from now on. Brother, you should be a clone warrior, right? What's your name?" Just when Li Jiu turned around to leave, the big black guy suddenly called him and started to talk and get close to him.
Li Jiu was slightly stunned and stopped.
Then he turned around, frowned slightly, and asked in confusion: "How do you know I'm a clone warrior?"
"Hey, brother, there's nothing much to say. Citizens of the Alliance all know that only clone warriors have death numbers. The captain called you AUG99 just now, which means you are a clone warrior." Barus grinned, revealing his satisfying white teeth.
"So that's how it is... So, Kaqi is also a clone warrior..." Li Jiu pondered after listening to Bakus' explanation. He remembered that Kaqi seemed to have said that she also had a death number, K77.
After feeling relieved, Li Jiu smiled calmly and said, "Just call me Li Jiu. I'm a newcomer. If I don't understand anything in the future, I hope you can take care of me."
"Haha, no problem. Li Jiu... this name is easy to remember, I get it. Brother Li Jiu, you helped me out just now, so I owe you a favor. If you need my help in the future, just let me know." Bacchus responded generously.
"By the way, Brother Baku, I only know that my number is AUG99, but I don't know what this death number means." Li Jiu thought for a while and said.
"You don't know what a death number is? Uh, it seems the captain hasn't told you yet. Well, let me briefly explain it to you on behalf of the captain." Bacchus was a little surprised.
"You should know that although today's technology is advanced, it cannot create life out of thin air. To create a clone warrior, you first need to obtain a person's genes. With the genes, theoretically, you can create an unlimited number of clone warriors. However, there is a rule for creating clone warriors in the alliance. That is, each gene can only create one clone warrior in the same time period. In other words, in this world, it is absolutely impossible for two clone warriors with the same genes to exist at the same time!"
"The significance of the death number is that it can indicate which generation of clone warrior a clone warrior is produced by a certain gene. For example, your death number is AUG99, which means that the gene you have has been used to produce 98 clone warriors before you, but they have all died, and you are the 99th. Moreover, the original provider of this gene, his name starts with AUG." Bakus said a lot of gibberish.
After listening to this, Li Jiu came to a simple conclusion, that is, the clone warriors created by his own genes have died 98 times...
After coming to this conclusion, Li Jiu felt a chill in his heart , wondering if he would soon become the 99th student to be sacrificed...
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Li Jiu simply stopped paying attention to the matter and said with a faint smile: "Thank you, Brother Baku. I'm going to find the captain first. We'll talk another day."
"Well, okay, come to me anytime if you have any problems. Bacchus will always be your good brother." Bacchus patted his chest and said confidently.
When I left the equipment collection room, Kaqi was waiting outside, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled and a look of impatience on her face.
"Why did you take so long to come out? What were you doing in there?" Kaqi asked when she saw Li Jiu coming out.
"Um, it's okay, let's go train?" Li Jiu said casually.
"Okay, come with me." Kaqi didn't seem to be interested in knowing the reason, so she took Li Jiu to the shooting range.
…
The Night Rose Mercenary Group was converted from an abandoned factory, and the shooting range was located in an open space originally located in the factory.
More than ten minutes later, Li Jiu and his companion arrived at the shooting range. At that time, there were already many mercenaries doing target practice.
"Bang, bang, bang..." A series of deafening gas explosions echoed in the shooting range.
"Will you load the bullets?" Kaqi asked Li Jiu after looking at him when they came to an idle target.
"Let me try." Li Jiu said after thinking for a while.
As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run. Although he has never played with real guns, he still has some understanding of the structure of guns. Moreover, he played with imitation guns a lot when he was a child, so he still has some confidence in simple things like bullets.
However, after all, this was the first time to play with the real thing, and Li Jiu was not completely sure, so he did not say it too affirmatively.
"Okay, load a magazine of bullets and let me see." Kaqi nodded.
Li Jiu took the order and skillfully took out the magazine. Then he tore open the bullet bag, grabbed a handful of bullets and started pressing bullets into the magazine. His movements looked very smooth, and he didn't look like a rookie at all. Kaqi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The capacity of an M16 magazine is 30 rounds. Li Jiu grabbed ten bullets and then grabbed another twenty rounds to fill the entire magazine.
"Click!" The magazine was inserted into the gun. Li Jiu pushed it up hard and the bullet was loaded.
"Yeah, not bad." Kaqi nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Do you know the shooting posture?"
"I know." Li Jiu replied.
"Okay, shoot and let me see." Kaqi said.
Next, Li Jiu put the butt of the gun into his shoulder socket, turned on the safety, aimed at the red dot in the center of the target a hundred meters away, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A gas explosion sounded, the gun body shook, and Li Jiu fired a burst of shots.
"How is it, is it a ten-ring?" Li Jiu said excitedly while looking at the target a hundred meters away. As a master in the game of Crossfire, it was not difficult for him to hit the head with every shot, let alone a dead target that would not move. Therefore, he was very confident in his shot and wanted to know whether he had hit the bull's eye the first time.
Kaqi took a telescope in hand, glanced at the target, and said calmly: "It's off target!"
