Chapter 1186
"We can only proceed with caution." Qi Mingyu nodded, his tone steady. "Lin Wei's identity is very special. She is highly respected on the Kunlun and is trusted and valued by Captain Qin. Moreover, the two fleets have just merged into one, and the situation is still unstable. Some things need to be done slowly and we cannot be too hasty. Stability is the most important thing right now. We cannot act rashly, otherwise we may suffer a backlash if we are not careful."
The situation is indeed complicated, especially since it is the early stage of the merger of the two fleets, and they must proceed with caution.
If things go wrong, they could turn the two fleets, which were originally observing, testing, and trying to cooperate and trust each other, into enemies, and that would be their fault!
Therefore, quietly eliminating Lin Wei would be the least likely way to alert others.
Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu also possess such abilities.
They have the best hiding place in the world where bodies will never be discovered.
However, Captain Qin is now fully aware of Lin Wei's suspicions and plans.
They should not act rashly.
Mu Mu glanced at Zhou Shuwan beside her and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, my sister's life is the most important."
After saying that, he stood up, turned around and strode out of the room, his steps quite angry.
Qi Mingyu frowned slightly.
“He’s just worried about me,” Zhou Shuwan said helplessly. “I’ll talk to him again later and try to persuade him.”
Qi Mingyu seemed to be deep in thought: "How about I transfer him out of the intensive care unit? He used to learn marksmanship and combat from us, so he has a good foundation. It would be good for him to train his muscles and bones here."
Zhou Shuwan did not object, but frowned slightly: "Mu Mu is young and impetuous, you have to keep an eye on him!"
Qi Mingyu couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you say that Mu Mu wasn't impulsive and that you were very at ease with her?"
Zhou Shuwan rolled her eyes inelegantly at his obvious mockery.
Qi Mingyu kept his word.
The transfer order came down early the next morning.
Mu Mu was officially transferred from the rescue area and assigned to the base's defense department, becoming an ordinary patrol soldier.
There were no special treatments; like other new recruits, they started with the most basic training.
On the day of reporting for duty, Mu Mu changed into a brand new dark gray military uniform.
The clothes were tailored to be crisp, making his already tall and straight figure appear even more upright.
He stood at the door of Qi Mingyu's office, his eyes sharp, showing no trace of the timidity of a new recruit.
"Brother-in-law," he called out, his tone still serious.
Qi Mingyu raised his eyes, looked him up and down, and smiled faintly: "Not bad, you look presentable."
He stood up, picked up a set of equipment, and handed it over: "Patrol soldiers have a lot to learn, especially weapon operation. They have to start from the basics and can't make a single mistake."
Mu Mu took the equipment, feeling its heavy weight.
It contains various weapons such as guns, daggers, and bullets, as well as emergency rations and medicine.
Besides that, the most important thing is air-conditioned clothing.
This is a brand new item, much newer than the Zhou family's own.
The Nanyang warship did have some stockpiles; they stockpiled quite a few of these air-conditioned suits and cold-weather suits back then, but they prioritized distributing them to the soldiers in the fleet!
They are responsible for safeguarding the safety of the entire fleet, so any good equipment or advanced weapons are naturally given to them first.
Even though Mu Mu was already very mature and composed, a hint of excitement still flashed in her eyes when she looked at the new weapons and various equipment she had just received.
He had learned a little about these things from Qi Mingyu before.
But this was the first time I had ever received truly systematic training.
The Ministry of Defense's training ground is on the first floor of the fortress.
Even if it's just one floor, it's still seven or eight meters above the ground.
Temperatures in the post-apocalyptic world have already soared to 60 degrees Celsius, making outdoor training impossible.
Their training ground is indoors, with an air conditioning system running 24 hours a day, keeping the room temperature at around 30 degrees Celsius.
The space here is vast and has been divided into shooting areas, combat areas, and tactical training areas.
Even so, the high-intensity training still left everyone drenched in sweat.
"New here?" A dark-skinned veteran walked over and patted Mu Mu on the shoulder.
It was quite forceful, carrying the characteristic straightforwardness of a soldier.
Mu Mu nodded: "Yes, my name is Zhou Shumu."
“My name is Zhao Qihu. I’ll be your captain from now on and I’ll lead your training.” The veteran grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. “We patrolmen may seem simple, but we actually have the most to learn. We need to know more than a dozen kinds of weapons, as well as how to set up sentry posts and handle emergencies. We have to be thoroughly familiar with all of that.”
Mu Mu listened attentively without saying a word.
He's not here to just coast along.
He came here to become stronger.
Only by being strong enough can I protect my sister and this family.
Training began quickly.
The first task was weapon disassembly and assembly, specifically training in modifying rifles.
This is the base's most commonly used main weapon, equipped with infrared aiming and environmental adaptation modules, making it much more complex than ordinary firearms.
Zhao Qihu demonstrated the disassembly process, his movements so fast they were dazzling.
"Watch closely, the steps can't be wrong, and the modules can't be connected incorrectly." He spread the disassembled parts on the table. "Now, you try it."
Mu Mu took a deep breath, picked up the parts, and began to assemble.
My fingers are fairly dexterous, but I'm not good at getting the rhythm of transitioning between new modules.
The first assembly took eight minutes and seemed complete, but a problem occurred during the final debugging.
The wiring interface of the infrared aiming module was not aligned, resulting in the scope being completely black.
Zhao Qihu didn't criticize him, but pointed to the interface with his tool: "Here, the wire contacts must fit perfectly, not even a millimeter off. When patrolling and encountering hot winds and dust storms, infrared aiming is crucial. This mistake, in actual combat, would be handing your life to the enemy."
Mu Mu nodded, disassembled it again, and then reassembled it.
Each time it got faster, and the number of mistakes decreased.
Sweat trickled down his forehead, dripping onto the ground and quickly evaporating into a small water stain.
He was completely oblivious, his eyes fixed only on the weapon in his hand.
Zhao Qihu looked over from afar, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
During the midday break, the soldiers sat on the ground drinking water and wiping away sweat.
Mu Mu also found a corner to sit down and took out her water bottle to gulp down a few mouthfuls.
The cool water slid down my throat, slightly relieving the heat in my body.
"Xiao Zhou, have you practiced before?" Zhao Qihu walked over and handed him a compressed biscuit.
Mu Mu took it, broke off a small piece and put it in her mouth: "I learned a little from my brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law?" Zhao Qihu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Mu Mu was just a doctor after all. Unlike his sister and brother-in-law, he wasn't well-known in the fleet. Apart from the people he had treated in the ambulance, not many people knew him.
Before he could explain, another younger soldier poked his head out and chuckled, "Captain Zhao, don't you know him? He's our deputy commander's brother-in-law! And also Dr. Zhou's brother!"
