"3, 2, 1, bang!"
As the starting gun fired, Zhang Hao sprinted off. This level of intensity was nothing to him; his best time was 6.7 seconds, so passing this would be a piece of cake.
After Zhang Hao crossed the line, Wei Long also looked at the watch in his hand.
"6.8 seconds, a passing grade!"
Deep Blue nodded, and then began testing long-distance running, strength, and so on.
As for these basic skills, Zhang Hao naturally handled them with ease. After all, he trained with the two "scroll kings" every day, and the intensity of that training was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
Shen Lan nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the data. He knew that if he had used the same assessment requirements as Red Wolf and the others to assess Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao might not have been able to meet them and his confidence would have been undermined. Therefore, for this assessment, Shen Lan specifically asked the people who were responsible for teaching Zhang Hao about his usual limits (except for Mai Xiaowen).
Therefore, the standard for Zhang Hao's assessment this time was slightly lower than his usual training limit.
"Next project, shooting, hitting stationary targets. Luna told me about this project, so we won't test that. Let's start hitting moving targets. 10 chances, start."
Recalling what Luna had told him before, Deep Blue was also incredulous. What? Xiao Hao is a shooting genius? There's absolutely no need to test on a stationary target? It's just a waste of bullets.
In fact, Luna said that even shooting at a moving target wasn't much of a test, and inexplicably said to Shenlan, "Do you believe in true geniuses?" This left Shenlan completely bewildered, since he had never seen Zhang Hao's shooting class before. So he decided to add shooting at a moving target to see what would happen.
Zhang Hao picked up the MA41 in front of him, took a deep breath after loading the magazine which contained only 10 rounds, and then began to fire at the moving targets that were moving at varying speeds.
As 10 gunshots rang out, everyone except Mai Xiaowen and Luna stared in disbelief at the target that had hit the paper doll's head.
At this moment, Shenlan understood Luna's profound words. This might be what genius is. Zhang Hao only took two months to go from an "ordinary person" to his current level.
"Oh my god! Am I seeing things? Xiao Hao, you...you...you're really that amazing, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Roy stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief, then quickly composed himself and said smugly:
"Hmm, not bad, not bad. You've got a bit of me back in the day, but I can't be complacent. I still need to keep working hard."
These words naturally drew a chorus of boos, and Zoya rolled her eyes at Roy.
"Come on, these days even the most grotesque and ugly people can try to scam my Xiao Hao. I don't need to tell you what kind of person they are, do I?"
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? When I give you guys those hormone injections, are they accurate? Tell me! Look me in the eyes, huh? Have you ever given the wrong injection? Speak up!"
At this point, Wei Long raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak:
"Then what did you mean when you stabbed me in the butt last time? Are you sure you didn't miss?"
Roy's eyes darted around, and he instantly came up with an explanation for himself.
"Hey! You don't understand, do you? I'm trying to remind you of the feeling of getting a shot in the butt when you were a kid, you know? I'm thinking about letting you experience that childhood feeling even during the battle. Don't thank me too much, I'm afraid I'll get arrogant."
Once again, a chorus of boos erupted.
Deep Blue also marked the shooting option in the table with a score of 100, and then looked at the last item, melee combat.
"Well then, Xiao Hao, now there's only one last thing left, which is close combat. But Zoya and I witnessed your amazing match with Red Wolf before, so I think you've already surpassed Roy in this area. So let's cancel this event!"
Roy: You're talking nonsense! I was letting Xiao Hao win. You really think I can't beat him? I'm a combat medic, do you know how awesome I am when I shout "Attack!"?
Of course, this was just Roy's inner scream. When he saw Red Wolf get punched to the ground and need to catch his breath, Roy knew that he would soon be beaten to the ground and begging for mercy.
Zhang Hao: How could that be, Roy? We're best buddies! I'll slap you across the face first, and you won't even be able to beg for mercy. = ̄ω ̄=
Roy: I've been spoiling you for nothing o(TヘTo)
"So, Uncle Shenlan, did I pass the test this time?"
"Of course, Xiao Hao, this time I secretly got you an M700 from headquarters in advance, so you'll have your own weapon for future operations."
Upon hearing that he now had his own gun, Zhang Hao jumped up excitedly with a "whoosh!" This was not just a gun, but also a symbol of everyone's trust in him.
"Hey! You guys are all outside? Xiao Hao! I finally got you the burning arrows you wanted, hahaha!"
At this moment, Uluru, looking disheveled, ran out of the Special Operations Department. He had excitedly rushed out after Zhang Hao had made the burning arrows he wanted, hoping to get everyone's praise, but after looking around and not finding anyone, he ran out and found that everyone was outside.
"Really? Uncle Uluru, you're amazing! I'll make you a cocktail when we get back. You've really gone to a lot of trouble!"
Amidst laughter and cheers, everyone returned to the Special Operations Unit to celebrate Zhang Hao's successful passage.
Uluru: You've probably almost forgotten about me since so many chapters haven't been released!
Chapter 81 Burning Arrows
After enjoying a delicious lunch, Zhang Hao lay contentedly on the sofa, feeling a huge weight lifted off his shoulders after passing the assessment.
"Uncle Uluru, is this arrow you invented stable? Are you sure it won't explode in my hands?"
Looking at the burning arrow in his hand, which was noticeably thicker than Luna's electric arrow, Zhang Hao asked with some unease.
"Hey! Xiao Hao, don't worry. You know, I tested this final version many times. I almost burned down my lab when I was testing it, so I added a sensor module inside. Now, even if you break it, it won't explode. Don't worry!"
Uluru said confidently, "Heaven knows how much he suffered in the lab without sleep. His beard was even singed and curled up. Fortunately, he got to drink the new wine that Xiao Hao made. Hehe, it was all worth it!"
Zoya sat to the side with a frown. She could already smell the strange odor coming from Uluru. You see, Uluru really did plunge headfirst into the laboratory. He would only come out to find something to eat when he was starving. He never even thought about taking a bath.
"Hey, can't you go take a shower already? Can't you smell the stench on you?"
Uluru ignored Zoya's complaints, completely unconcerned. He knew that if Zoya didn't criticize him one day, he would suspect that Zoya had been replaced.
"What's the rush? You have no idea how hard I worked to develop this arrow. Hehe, with this, Xiao Hao's self-defense capabilities will be stronger. Xiao Hao, if you have any other ideas, just tell your Uncle Uluru. I'll work on them until I'm worn out."
Zhang Hao: I'm so touched, sob sob, Uncle Uluru, you're so good to me.
Zoya was also silenced by Uluru's words. Yes, he did this to develop weapons for Xiaohao, and what right did she have to criticize him when she hadn't done anything for Xiaohao?
"Hmph, I'm just reminding you to take a shower later. If you don't shower every day, you'll get a bacterial infection and come looking for me again."
Everyone burst into laughter at Zoya's stubborn pride. After laughing, Luna said to Zhang Hao:
"Xiao Hao, why don't you take this outside and try it out?"
Zhang Hao, who had been itching to try it for a long time, readily agreed. So, a group of people who had just finished eating came outside to watch Xiao Hao test the burning arrow to help them digest their food.
"Hey, Uluru, how many arrows did you prepare for Xiao Hao this time? Was it expensive?"
Deep Blue thought of the finely crafted arrow in Zhang Hao's hand and asked Uluru.
"Well, the resources haven't arrived yet, so I only prepared 20, including the one he has. After all, a lot of things failed during the experiments. If the resources arrive next month, we should be able to make about 25. After all, in the entire Special Operations Department, only Xiao Hao and I need napalm and white phosphorus."
Uluru roughly calculated and estimated how many arrows could be made with the resources available this month.
"Okay, I understand. I'll apply to headquarters next time. By the way, the resources for this month should start arriving soon. There should be quite a lot this time, since we're going to try and seize the Mandel Bricks this month. The higher-ups in charge of resources shouldn't be stingy with resources."
"Huh? Stealing Mandel bricks? How many of us are there? Seriously, aren't these bandits? When? I need to go and prepare more loitering munitions."
Uluru, who had just connected to the internet, stared wide-eyed at the deep blue. Wait, why didn't anyone tell me this? Is it really this exciting?
"On the 15th of this month, the Hafk Group will hold a press conference at the radar station in Longbow Valley. The higher-ups will naturally not just sit there and watch. This time, they want us to seize the Mandel Brick. But I told everyone that if we manage to get it, we should put it with Said first. Our high-level plans are about to change, and we can't just hand over the Mandel Brick like that."
Uluru, being a seasoned veteran, immediately understood that the plan was to ask the higher-ups for more resources, then take it easy while they were vying for them. Once they got the resources, they would get rid of this hot potato and wait for the higher-ups to reshuffle the deck before assessing the situation.
"Okay, okay, then I'll prepare more incendiary bombs and quick-drying cement bunkers. After all, safety comes first, hehehe. Hey Deep Blue, did you get me some extra drinks this time? Xiao Hao's cocktails are almost gone."
"No, by the way, can you stop thinking about drinking all the time? You can't even outdrink me, honestly. To use Xiao Hao's words, you're both bad at drinking and love to have fun."
Deep Blue glanced at Uluru with displeasure. When Zhang Hao had prepared a large barrel of "Barrel Uluru" earlier, this Uluru had come over and challenged him to a drinking contest, saying he would drink him under the table.
As it turned out, he had just finished warming up when this guy plopped down on the table and started snoring. Deep Blue was speechless. Is that all? We thought he was going to be much tougher.
"Hey, let me tell you, my original brew is almost gone. Don't regret it if you want to drink it later. And Xiao Hao still has a lot to mix. This time, the [Sky City] is perfect. I fell in love with it the first time I took a sip. Don't ask me for it if you're craving it later."
Deep Blue: ...Damn it, why did I stay silent?
"I'll submit a supplementary application to the higher-ups later. You just wait patiently, humph! I'm not doing this for the sake of drinking; I'm just worried that Xiao Hao will be upset if he doesn't have the ingredients for mixing drinks."
Uluru: Hehe~o( =∩ω∩= )m
Meanwhile, Zhang Hao began his test. He drew his bow and shot an arrow toward a nearby earthen slope. The arrow's sensor module flashed red light quickly, like Luna's detection arrow, but went dark again after scanning the area in front of it.
The arrow then pierced the ground, causing a small explosion. It then began to burn in an area, with the fuel inside sticking to the ground and continuing to burn for about three minutes before slowly extinguishing.
Zhang Hao was quite satisfied with this, as the situation had exceeded his expectations. This kind of area-of-effect damage could be used for both offense and defense in certain situations, and it also greatly enhanced his combat power.
"Hehehe, how about that, Xiao Hao? Awesome, right? It's right to leave it to your Uncle Uluru."
"Awesome, no wonder you're Uncle Uluru, I'll definitely come to you again if I need anything."
Uluru chuckled when Zhang Hao praised him. It had been a long time since he had researched new weapons. After getting used to incendiary bombs and loitering munitions, Uluru had become complacent. This research result also brought Uluru new ideas.
At this moment, Mai Xiaowen said:
"Uluru, I have an idea, and I've prepared the basic blueprints. Can you show them to me later?"
"Okay! Choosing you, Uluru, was the right decision. There's nothing I can't do, ahahahaha!"
9527: Oh? Really? (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
Chapter 82 Bomb Plane
Mai Xiaowen had also arranged with Uluru to show him her drawings tomorrow. Today, she organized them all first, and Uluru, who was flattered by Zhang Hao, readily agreed.
Mai Xiaowen was overjoyed and led Zhang Hao to her room to give him a proper introduction to her new weapon.
"Xiao Hao, come here quickly, come to my room and I'll show you a big treasure."
Excited, Mai Xiaowen prepared to kidnap Zhang Hao. She thought to herself that Xiao Hao was supposed to be taken to Zoya's bed warmer at noon, and to prevent her beloved Xiao Hao from falling into the clutches of that old woman, she needed to rescue him. After seeing her brilliant plan, she planned to have a nice nap with him, hehehe.
Just as Mai Xiaowen was about to succeed, Zoya quickly grabbed Zhang Hao's other hand.
"Wait, can't we talk about this after you wake up from your afternoon nap? Come on, Xiao Hao, you need to take a nap now that you're growing. Take a nap with your sister first, then we'll go find Mai Xiaowen."
Seeing that her plan was about to be foiled by Zoya, Mai Xiaowen quickly activated her brain's CPU, searching for a way to break the deadlock.
Luna watched the drama unfold with everyone else. If it were a regular occurrence, Xiao Hao wouldn't be hers until noon the day after tomorrow. Now that there was nothing to fight for, occasionally stepping out of the fray and enjoying the show was quite a unique experience.
"Oh, Zoya, you should go back first. I'll send it to you after I've finished showing it to Xiaohao. Do you really think I'm keeping Xiaohao for myself?"
Mai Xiaowen decided to shamelessly start playing the emotional card. Once she had lured Xiao Hao into her room, she could do whatever she wanted with him. She would then send a message to Zoya saying that Xiao Hao was so sleepy that he had fallen asleep at her place. Would Zoya really have the heart to wake Xiao Hao up again?
Deep Blue: She most likely won't wake Xiao Hao up, but she'll definitely drag you out and beat you up. I'm not kidding.
But the experienced Zoya wouldn't be fooled by Mai Xiaowen's few words. Seeing the strong purpose in Mai Xiaowen's words, how could Zoya, a psychology PhD, not have realized it? She could foresee the consequences if Zhang Hao were really deceived. But did he think he could just suffer in silence? Hmph! It seems he's been underestimated by these youngsters.
Having figured things out, Zoya glanced at Mai Xiaowen, whose brain was still racing, with a half-smile, and slowly said:
"Oh? Sure, but what if Xiao Hao doesn't come to nap with me today? You know, I can't sleep well without Xiao Hao. How about this, if he doesn't come today, I'll take the next two naps with you, okay?"
Mai Xiaowen froze. Damn it, she couldn't get anything for free? Damn it, was she just supposed to watch helplessly as her precious little Hao Hao was dragged to bed by these two women? Waaaaah, little Hao Hao, I'm so sorry, it's my fault for not being able to protect you. You've suffered. 〒▽〒
