Chapter 596, Limited Quantities
Translator: Silavin
The Warrior Trainees were each demonstrating their skills, with none willing to admit defeat.
Particularly Yan Hua and Sha Lan, who were even more unwilling to concede defeat.
Each held a firearm in their hands, aiming at those running wild beasts, with everyone wanting to kill the most number of them.
The winner would be whoever killed the most beasts.
If one achieved first place in this training, that Warrior Trainee would receive additional training time.
This reward existed only because of their new ‘toy’. Previously, training rewards had always been being able to rest longer than the others. Everyone was just so eager to play with the firearms for longer, that the reward this time was extended training time.
The Warrior Trainees were all putting forth their utmost effort to secure first place to be able to train for longer.
Therefore, when those wild beasts began running about, the Warriors each aimed their firearms at them. Those with relatively high accuracy could take down one beast with one shot.
“Ah’Hua, let’s have a competition between the two of us today. The past two days, we’ve been evenly matched, but today, we must determine a winner.” Sha Lan said with a smile.
Sha Lan had competed with Yan Hua for the past two days. Unfortunately, it always ended in a draw. So, both of them were qualified to extend their training time.
“Sure, after all, I’ll be the one to win.” Yan Hua said.
This statement stirred Sha Lan’s fighting spirit.
“In that case, I’ll go there, and you go to another area. This way, we won’t get in each other’s way.” Sha Lan said.
“No problem.” Yan Hua nodded, taking the firearm in her hand and walking towards her left.
*Step step step…*
Due to the extremely thick snow, walking was not easy.
Still, Yan Hua did not find it particularly troublesome. Even if this snow made progressing difficult, she continued moving forward with all her might.
At the same time, the firearm in her hand remained ready. As soon as any beast appeared, she would immediately shoot to kill.
“There!” Yan Hua spotted her target immediately, raising the firearm in her hand to aim at that small wild rabbit.
*Bang!*
A gunshot rang out, and that innocent rabbit, which had thought itself free, fell into a pool of blood.
The bullet struck the small rabbit’s forehead directly. It did not even have time to react before its legs stopped kicking.
“First bullet hit, nine remaining.” Yan Hua looked at her Animal Hide Bag.
Each person could only have ten bullets, no more. Once all their bullets were used up, their training would be considered finished.
After all, manufacturing bullets was not simple. It took time, and before the eternal night arrived, the Tribe also needed to store a large quantity of bullets to deal with those frenzied Ferocious Beasts.
Since the Tribe needed to have some stockpiled, while also producing batches of bullets for Warriors to use during training, bullets remained relatively scarce.
This was why the Warriors had limited bullets allocated to them.
In fact, due to the cost, those Warriors with mediocre accuracy were eliminated in the first round of selection. So, those training now were the cream of the crop.
So, Yan Hua and others were all great sharpshooters.
“Let me see where the next target is.” Yan Hua squinted her red eyes, scanning the surroundings.
She must ensure the next target could be hit before firing. If she wants to win, all ten bullets must hit their targets.
However, given Sha Lan’s capabilities, it was possible for all ten of her bullets to hit as well.
This was what worried her, so she could not afford to miss.
“Besides conserving bullets, I must also bring them back to the Tribe.” Yan Hua murmured to herself. [Sha Lan would be thinking that these beasts had been released specifically for training purposes, but they are particularly precious during the snow season. So, we need to bring them back.]
Although this time they served as training targets, they could also provide some sustenance for the Tribe. After shooting them, they could still be eaten.
*Bang!*
Just as Yan Hua was searching for targets, a small wild boar ran right up to her.
Perhaps due to these beasts not tolerating cold well, plus being suddenly released, the excitement combined with the weather conditions caused them to wildly run about everywhere.
However, it was precisely because they were running about like this that the training difficulty had been increased. Taking them down with one shot was no easy matter.
Yan Hua unceremoniously took down this wild boar and hung its body on her body before beginning to search for her next target.
Time passed minute by minute. After more than an hour, everyone had completed their training.
The final rankings were unsurprisingly dominated by Yan Hua and Sha Lan.
They thus gained more training time. The two of them were continuing, with five more bullets.
“Seems like we cannot determine who wins today either.” Yan Hua shrugged her shoulders, not expecting that Sha Lan’s ten bullets had all hit their marks as well.
“So, we’ll just have to continue competing.” Sha Lan could not help covering her mouth and laughing.
“Now, we each have five bullets. Let’s see who wins this time.” Yan Hua suggested, weighing the bullets in her hand.
Sha Lan also looked at the bullets in her hand and nodded. “Sure, but how should we compete?”
Sha Lan was not particularly competitive by nature. She simply found this fun despite it being training.
“We’ll draw a spot on the tree trunk. Whoever’s five bullets all hit one spot is the victor.” Yan Hua said.
Since there were no more beasts now, they could only do this.
“Sure. I’m game.” Sha Lan said without hesitation. [This is going to be easy.]
