Chapter 218 Two Bullets with Identical Trajectories

After waiting patiently for a while, there was still no movement from the target scorer.

Fu Guoan couldn't help it any longer, so he led everyone forward, wanting to see if Qin Xuan had any explanation.

However, after taking only a couple of steps, several people saw Qin Xuan lying in place as if nothing had happened.

Li Hongyu, the observer, stood there with a look of shock. It wasn't until Zeng Jingjing arrived beside her that she reacted.

"General Fu, Instructor Zeng..."

"How was it, Hongyu? Did you learn anything from General Qin?"

Li Hongyu nodded stiffly, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Just then, the long-silent walkie-talkie suddenly crackled to life.

Urgent breathing and chaotic static came from the other end, but no one spoke.

Fu Guoan gently tapped the walkie-talkie and loudly asked the person on the other end, "Xiao Yang, what's going on over there?"

"General Qin just fired two shots. Did he hit the target?"

General Qin?

Hearing Fu Guoan's address to Qin Xuan, Li Hongyu subconsciously glanced at Zeng Jingjing.

Zeng Jingjing gave a wry smile and gently shook her head at him, "I didn't know at first either."

"It wasn't until I asked General Fu why this man shot so quickly that General Fu mysteriously told me he was the youngest Supreme General of Dragon Country."

"The youngest Supreme General?"

"How is that possible?!"

Upon hearing Zeng Jingjing's explanation, Li Hongyu exclaimed in shock.

As the daughter of the Li family, who came from a military background, Li Hongyu was all too familiar with the promotion of generals.

No matter your identity or background, there were only two ways to be promoted to general.

First, it was to accumulate seniority and achieve military merits.

When seniority was met and merits were sufficient, one would naturally be successfully promoted.

However, as far as she knew, the process of becoming a general took at least twenty to thirty years, and another twelve to thirteen years to be promoted from Major General to Supreme General.

Qin Xuan looked so young, about the same age as herself.

Therefore, for him to become a Supreme General, he could only have taken the second path: becoming a Grandmaster!

Dragon Country's law stipulated that anyone who reached the Grandmaster level would be granted the honorary rank of Lieutenant General and enjoy the treatment of a Lieutenant General with actual power.

This meant that Qin Xuan was at least a Grandmaster-level expert!

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to become a Supreme General, a rank higher than Lieutenant General, at such a young age.

Li Hongyu couldn't believe her deduction, but the facts were right in front of her.

Setting aside the possibility that Qin Xuan was a fifty or sixty-year-old man who had maintained his youthful appearance.

The mere fact that he could use internal energy to achieve a state of complete breath-holding and stillness was enough to prove the depth of his internal energy.

"But, is a Grandmaster in his early twenties really possible?"

"Even a genius like the one from the Su family took a full forty-eight years from birth to break through to Grandmaster."

"Could he be from the Qin family, like Qin Hu?"

"But Qin Hu and he clearly don't know each other..."

While she was thinking, Xiao Yang on the other end of the walkie-talkie finally spoke.

He first shouted excitedly, then apologized somewhat to Fu Guoan, "Sorry, General Fu, I, I was really scared just now!"

"Really, you absolutely can't imagine what I just saw!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yang rambled incoherently again. Seeing this, Fu Guoan quickly pressed, "What exactly did you see?"

"It was the bullet, the bullet, it overlapped!"

"The second shot hit the first, and then the first one fell to the ground..."

With Fu Guoan's urging, Xiao Yang's thoughts became even more confused.

He repeated what he had just said several times before Fu Guoan and the others finally understood his meaning.

"You mean, the first bullet fired by General Qin got stuck in the steel target without penetrating, and then he used the second bullet to hit the first bullet, causing both bullets to penetrate the steel target together?!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"That's exactly it!"

"You don't know, I was stunned at the time. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed such a thing was possible..."

*Crackle...*

After Xiao Yang confirmed Fu Guoan's statement, the signal completely cut off.

It wasn't because he had accidentally touched something, but because Fu Guoan was so shocked that his hands and feet went numb, and he dropped the walkie-talkie on the ground.

At this moment, everyone present basically had only one thought: it was impossible, Xiao Yang was lying.

But the next second, their astonishment couldn't be contained.

The scene described by Xiao Yang was almost like something out of a fairy tale.

Even with theoretical support, it was impossible for anyone to achieve it.

But then again.

If this was really fake, then why would he tell such a lie that no one would believe?

So, with a simple thought, they knew.

What Xiao Yang said was true, without any possibility of fabrication.

Even if this matter only existed in theory.

Even if this possibility was less than one in ten million.

And this was precisely why they were amazed.

To achieve the effect of two bullets colliding one after the other, the trajectories of these two bullets had to be exactly the same.

Even a slight deviation would make it impossible for them to penetrate the steel target together.

"So, Li Hongyu, what exactly did you see before we came over?"

Fu Guoan, worthy of being a Major General, was the first to react despite his inner turmoil.

As he asked the question, the others also reacted and looked at Li Hongyu in unison.

Li Hongyu took a deep breath and slowly recounted everything she had witnessed.

"I saw General Qin Xuan fire two shots consecutively, and throughout the entire process, he remained as still as a stone..."

"That's it?"

"..."

The two words of confusion almost slipped out of Chen Lin's throat.

But after everyone savored it, goosebumps erupted all over them.

They had witnessed him firing two shots consecutively, but to do so while remaining completely still was absolutely harder than climbing to heaven.

This was a sniper rifle!

The immense recoil was no joke!

This was also why they believed it was impossible for two bullets to have identical trajectories.

When a person uses a firearm, they cannot be unaffected by the recoil.

Even with all the recoil-reducing accessories installed on the gun, it was impossible to completely eliminate it.

As a result, the trajectory of the second shot would inevitably be deviated by the recoil.

It was like in shooting games, where if a character continuously fired a firearm without moving the mouse, the bullet trajectory would always go upwards, which was for the same reason.

So, it was only now that they understood why Xiao Yang and Li Hongyu were so shocked.

Using a sniper rifle, completely resisting the recoil of the firearm with his body.

Just how terrifying was this man?!
