Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 746 Leisurely Daily Life
If anyone has paid attention to Principal Wang’s early Weibo posts, they should be impressed by one of his early Weibo profile pictures.
That is the photo of Principal Wang holding a fixed machine gun and turning his head to the camera with a sweet smile.
Afterwards, perhaps because of the presence of guns in this photo, it was later changed into a cartoon version of the picture, and more people may be familiar with it at this stage.
Nowadays, with the development of the times, although it is strictly prohibited in the country, there are still opportunities to experience real firearms in some specific occasions.
For example, military training, shooting ranges, etc., generally have extremely strict regulations to ensure that no safety .
Zhou Dongsheng also understands this very well. After all, stability overrides everything. For a country with such a large population, such unstable factors must naturally be strictly controlled.
But as the saying goes, what you can't get will always cause unrest, especially when you have certain conditions, you will always want to experience something you have never experienced before.
Especially after coming to this "free" country, I couldn't help but feel eager to do something.
You know, in the early years when there was no explicit ban, China was still a country with a large number of guns.
However, the emergence of an incident changed the atmosphere at the national level and made people realize the adverse impact of firearms, an unstable factor, on society.
Coincidentally, history always repeats itself in a surprising way. This incident, also called the "911" incident, happened in the two lakes region of China.
The people in the two lakes region have always been tough, and coupled with long-term accumulated conflicts, a vicious fight led by the village chief broke out in two villages in a certain place, commonly known as the "911 fight."
It is reported that the two village chiefs led more than 5,000 villagers from their respective groups and deployed extremely lethal weapons including homemade rifles, homemade cannons, and explosives, which could be called a local battle.
Not only are retired soldiers involved, they are also organized into teams of three, and they use a tactical approach of infantry and tank coordination. The equipment is very complete, and even a field hospital is available.
It is reported that even the veterinarian in the village was urgently requisitioned to the front line. At the same time, when attacking the opponent's villages and towns, the two sides were once caught in a stalemate "street fighting".
If it weren’t for the news reports, no one would believe that such a battle actually took place in the 1990s...
Finally, according to incomplete statistics, more than 90 homemade cannons, 57 guns, 230 kilograms of explosives, and several trucks of cold weapons were seized at the scene.
After this incident, China became the country with the strictest gun control in the world, and after the introduction of the "Gun Control Law", it ushered in an era of comprehensive gun ban.
Therefore, for most people, the "gunshots" heard in life are more likely to come from games. Even if they are heard in real life, they will most likely think they are firecrackers or something like that.
Therefore, when some Chinese people go abroad for tourism, if they are unlucky enough to hear gunshots, their first reaction is most likely confusion.
As for the locals, they had already begun to cover their heads with their hands, and skillfully searched for cover while running away, or tried to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead...
It's so skillful that it makes people feel distressed. This is probably the price of freedom.
The next morning, Zhou Dongsheng and his companions, led by Principal Wang, drove to the suburbs. As the buildings along the road gradually became dilapidated and the distances between them became increasingly far...
Zhou Dongsheng finally had a more comprehensive understanding of this sparsely populated country. No wonder houses in the suburbs are not valuable, and everyone has to have a car, which is indeed not very convenient.
After nearly an hour, the group arrived at a deserted place with few people. Before getting off the car, Zhou Dongsheng had already heard a faint "crackling" sound.
In this vast wilderness, the sound could be heard far away, and even though Zhou Dongsheng was prepared, he still felt frightened.
After all, in such a remote place, with the unstable factor of guns, if a group of bandits suddenly came and kidnapped them...
Then maybe I will really die here.
Principal Wang obviously had the same concern, so behind the group, two off-road vehicles followed, and eight burly men in black suits got out at once.
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything. You can have fun as much as you want. Don't worry about your safety. As long as we don't run into any international gangsters, our safety is guaranteed."
"Although the security here is not good, it's not to the extent that there are tanks everywhere and Apaches everywhere. That's the kind of scene that only appears in Hollywood blockbusters!"
Principal Wang patted Zhou Dongsheng on the shoulder, made a few jokes, then put his arm around Zhou Dongsheng and walked inside, with the others following closely behind.
Finally, the eight bodyguards dispersed in an orderly manner and surrounded the group in a protective posture. It was not clear whether this formation was useful or not, but at least it looked quite intimidating.
After entering the place, I saw the owner of the shooting range with a full beard, dressed in cowboy clothes, and tattoos all over his bare arms. He looked like a hardcore strong man.
At this moment, he was sitting in a counter full of guns, smoking a cigar. He took the time to glance at them, and when he waved his hand, a hot blonde girl came up to him.
"Hey, Aribadi, Weierkongmu..." Zhou Dongsheng, who had an eighth-level hearing ability, could only understand the first two sentences of greeting, and could not understand anything else after that.
He simply turned his attention to the counter. Although he was not a military fan, the real stuff on display was still very attractive to him.
In addition to luxury cars and beautiful women, the violent factor in men's bones is always an important part of their nature that cannot be ignored.
This may also be the reason why the exciting boxing and bloody stage are always the easiest to stimulate the secretion of adrenaline.
The purpose of the existence of "nipple pleasure" products such as shooting and violent games is to eliminate the hostility of the player group to the greatest extent.
But fake is fake after all, and certainly not as exciting as the real ones. When looking at the dazzling array of guns that looked like toys, Zhou Dongsheng felt his adrenaline starting to secrete.
In China, even in specific occasions, the only things you have the chance to come into contact with are conventional pistols. However, here, there are all kinds of weapons of different lengths, even sniper rifles.
As for the legendary Barrett anti-material sniper rifle, it is a controlled item even in this free land. Of course, as long as you can afford the price, you can still get it.
It's just that it's possible but not necessary.
Zhou Dongsheng just came here to satisfy his desire, he didn't really want to take down the White House. Although he didn't see any anti-materials, he couldn't hold back when he saw an RPG.
"Fuck, are there all these things?" Zhou Dongsheng said in amazement.
"What's the big deal? It's just a rocket launcher, just a bigger firecracker." Principal Wang said lightly.
"That's true. I'll order a few shots later to satisfy my craving." Zhou Dongsheng said eagerly.
"Don't worry, I'm just worried that you can't handle it. Just practice first..." Principal Wang said cheerfully.
This thing is nothing new to those who have experienced it. Instead, they are more happy to watch other people play it.
After all, watching people make a fool of themselves is kind of fun. Real guns are not as simple as those in shooting games, and the recoil is no joke.
Therefore, Principal Wang fully understands the ignorant mentality of a rookie like Zhou Dongsheng who wants to challenge RPG right from the start.
But understanding is understanding, after all, this is a matter of life and death, and Principal Wang is not going to let Zhou Dongsheng die just to see him embarrass himself...
After all, it is completely harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
After some negotiations with the boss, perhaps because the price offered was very fair, the boss with a face full of flesh greeted Zhou Dongsheng with a very kind smile.
The next step is to put on equipment. Not only does each person need a heavy bulletproof vest, but also goggles and earmuffs, which are essential equipment for novices.
After all, people who have not received professional training generally find it difficult to accept the stimulation of real guns and live ammunition.
Therefore, those scenes in movies where characters who have never touched a gun before are able to master it immediately and kill everyone in great numbers often seem particularly superficial.
After they were dressed, they came to an empty shooting range behind the house, and then they had to carry out the most basic routine training.
Although we didn't speak the same language, fortunately Li Jiana was there to translate for us, and we learned some common knowledge, such as how to hold a gun and the safety switch.
You don't have to become a military fan, as long as you have played a few hardcore games, you can have some understanding of this knowledge.
After Zhou Dongsheng got the hang of it, he became impatient to empty the magazine.
"One last reminder, never point your gun at others!" the coach emphasized again very seriously, and Li Jiana faithfully translated it to Zhou Dongsheng.
"Yes, sir!" Zhou Dongsheng responded in a serious manner, and then walked towards his target position.
It is worth mentioning that after learning about it, Zhou Dongsheng knew that the thing in his hand was called Colt M1911, which is a mass-produced pistol with stable performance and wide acclaim, and is very friendly to novices.
As for the more familiar name like Desert Eagle, after Li Jiana translated Zhou Dongsheng's question, the coach shrugged helplessly and naturally.
"This gun is not friendly to novices and can easily cause unnecessary accidental injuries. It is generally not recommended for customers to use..."
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then he honestly chose this entry-level firearm.
After all, the Colt M1911 is a single-shot gun and has multiple safeties, including not only a manual safety but also a grip safety, which can ensure to the greatest extent that it will not easily go off accidentally.
Standing on the shooting range, Zhou Dongsheng held the gun with both hands, stood with his front and back feet apart, made a shooting posture, closed one eye in a serious manner, and began to aim along the sight on the gun head.
There is no crosshair in reality, everything depends on feeling, the moment your finger is on the trigger.
Even though he was prepared, Zhou Dongsheng could still feel the blood rushing up from his accelerated heartbeat and the slight tingling sensation on his scalp.
He clenched his hands, tensed his muscles, pressed the grip safety, then held his breath. The moment he pulled the trigger, Zhou Dongsheng subconsciously blinked.
"Bang!" A very muffled sound came through the earplugs. Zhou Dongsheng clearly felt a force transmitted to the base of his thumb, making his wrist slightly numb.
It was not as powerful as I had imagined. Perhaps it was related to the gun and was completely within my tolerance. Then, when I came to my senses, I smelled a pungent smell of gunpowder.
"Huh~" Zhou Dongsheng let out a long breath and felt a little satisfied, but not much. After achieving the breakthrough of zero, the next step would naturally be a matter of course .
Zhou Dongsheng fired one round after another, slowly getting used to the feel of the gun, and soon emptied the magazine. He then clumsily replaced the second magazine, and then pulled the bolt to load the bullet.
Practice makes perfect. After emptying three magazines in a row, Zhou Dongsheng finally got the hang of it. However, he looked into the distance at the target with only one or two holes on it...
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed a genius. He had just started but his outlining gun technique had already reached perfection.
Otherwise, they say that sharpshooters are fed. For people who have never touched a gun, hitting the target at a distance of more than 30 meters depends entirely on luck.
However, Zhou Dongsheng just came here to have fun, not to be a special forces soldier. He doesn't care whether he is accurate or not, as long as he has fun, that's all.
After emptying another magazine skillfully, Zhou Dongsheng felt that he was already qualified for the position of a local policeman. After all, they all emptied magazines, so who wouldn't know how to do it...
Ahem, just kidding. After having fun with the pistol, Zhou Dongsheng was obviously no longer satisfied with this small pistol. A real man should play with something big.
After that, Zhou Dongsheng began to try various guns, starting with single shots with a long spear. After getting used to it, he tried continuous firing, from "bang, bang" to "bang, bang, bang".
Zhou Dongsheng had a lot of fun. He then tried the machine gun target shooting at fixed points and felt the numbing pleasure of the metal storm.
After pulling the trigger, his mind went blank and his eyes were filled with light. Zhou Dongsheng could do nothing except tightly gripping the handles on both sides.
It’s really fun, but also really expensive. The boss with a face full of fat was laughing so hard that his mouth was almost splitting. After all, he charges by the ammunition.
Although none of Zhou Dongsheng's bullets hit the target, they all hit the boss's wallet accurately.
After having a great time, Zhou Dongsheng asked for two RPGs to liven up the fun. Of course, it was impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to handle such a dangerous thing himself.
Zhou Dongsheng did not want to take such a risk, so he let a professional take the helm. Zhou Dongsheng felt it up close and watched the shell's tail flame swaying, and then it hit the distant obstacle with a "whoosh" sound, causing a brilliant explosion.
Zhou Dongsheng stretched out his hands as eyelids, looked into the distance, smelled the smell of gunpowder that he was already accustomed to, and sighed: "It really is like fireworks, so beautiful, art is an explosion!"
After an afternoon of experience, Zhou Dongsheng didn't know how much ammunition he had consumed, he only knew that the smile on the boss's face was particularly strong.
It's just that apart from the initial shock and excitement, once the novelty wears off, you'll slowly get used to it.
After all, in the real world, there won’t be as many scenes and interactions as in games. It’s nothing more than firing ammunition at a target.
To some extent, it is indeed no different from "setting off fireworks".
After the fun, they naturally entered the sage time. After having had enough, the group chose to go home.
"Is it enjoyable? Let's go to Las Vegas some other day and let me bring you a completely different kind of happiness." Principal Wang said happily.
"Okay, I have been fascinated by this famous gambling city for a long time~" Zhou Dongsheng said with lingering feeling.
