[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

"When you're lying in ambush, are you sticking your butt out like that to greet the enemy?"

"Oh my god!... If I were to encounter enemies like you during a mission, I would truly thank God for his favor."

Look, it's starting again.

In the simulated assault, the ghosts darted back and forth, slapping one on the head and kicking another in the butt.

You quietly huddled in a corner to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

But ultimately, you can't avoid it.

As you point your gun at the "enemy," the ghost strides over.

He stood beside you, his tone a mixture of irritability and helplessness.

"Are you holding a gun so close to the enemy? Do you want them to disarm you?"

You wonder: "Disassemble the gun?"

You've already pointed a gun at the enemy, how dare they make a move?

Seeing that you didn't believe him, the ghost pushed aside the person in front of you and stood in front of your gun.

Then he beckons to you: "Come on, load the bullet."

You exclaimed in surprise, "Lieutenant, this is a real gun!"

To create a more realistic experience, you're using real guns in your training now; they can actually hurt people!

Therefore, to avoid accidental discharge, when you pointed your gun at someone, the bullets were not chambered.

Now he's actually letting you load the gun, that's too dangerous.

The ghost looked up: "Do whatever I tell you to do!"

After hesitating for two seconds, you pull the bolt, and with a click, the bullet is chambered.

Despite being faced with real guns at close range, Ghost showed no sign of nervousness, remaining as steady as a mountain.

And you, holding a gun to him, dare not relax for a moment, as if you were really facing a powerful enemy.

Hey, how old are you now?

Suddenly, the ghost spoke up and asked that question.

You were taken aback for a moment by his sudden question, and then you saw the ghost suddenly raise his hand!

He grabbed your magazine with his left hand and pulled it down, while simultaneously reaching out with his right hand to push your bolt back!

The action seemed to happen in the blink of an eye; the magazine was removed, and the bullets in the chamber flew out.

He holds up the magazine and looks at you: "Now, can you still fire?"

The magazine and bullets have been removed, so of course it can't be done.

But you expressed your doubts: "Lieutenant, I admit that your move is very clever, but could I knock you, the enemy, unconscious with the butt of my gun while you are disarming me?"

You're not being argumentative; you're genuinely asking a question, which is also a way of finding a solution.

The ghost hands you the magazine.

"You can give it a try."

You load the magazine, and the ghost walks up to you again, the scene repeats itself.

Just as Ghost was repeating the bomb defusal action, you gripped the butt of your gun and tried to smash it into Ghost's head, but found yourself stopped by a force, and even the gun itself veered to the left.

It turns out that when Ghost was defusing the bomb, his arm that was pushing the bolt bent up, and he used his elbow to block your gun!

This not only prevented you from striking, but also pushed the gun away.

You stare blankly at the ghost, who glances at you disdainfully.

"If I wanted to, I could have easily struck you just now."

As he spoke, he tossed the magazine aside.

"So instead of thinking of ways to deal with it, it's better to create distance from the start and not give the enemy any chance. Understand?"

You nodded repeatedly: "I understand, Lieutenant!"

It must be said that although the ghost is strict, he is very dedicated to teaching you, and he is very careful in many ways, as if he is afraid that you will face death if you are even slightly negligent.

After your main job is finished, you still have to attend Koenig's training in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the hostage rescue training is nearing its end, and you'll have one less course to take after today.

Thinking of this, you feel your tired body immediately regain its energy.

But when you see that the person who appears is Keegan, your heart skips a beat.

Oh no, could it be that Keegan has been replaced in charge of teamwork training?!

However, the truth is just as you expected.

"Good afternoon, soldiers. Your instructor, König, has an emergency mission, so today's hostage rescue training is canceled. I will be bringing you naval warfare training later."

Keegan briefly explained the situation in a deep, pleasant voice.

But even the most beautiful voice cannot hold back your fading energy and spirit.

Good heavens, is it curled like this?

You feel like you've enrolled in a crash course, and after completing the procedures, you're sent for practical training.

“Each sea area has its own warships and navy. Your mission is generally just to support and cooperate with them, so you don’t need to master many professional things.”

"Support operations are divided into maritime and underwater operations. Maritime operations are generally carried out on warships or lifeboats, and the operations are not much different from land operations. Underwater operations are the skills you need to master, after all, the difference between underwater and land is not just the addition of fish."

"Next, I'll take you somewhere."

After he finished speaking, he led you out of the base, where three military trucks were parked at the entrance.

"boarding."

Keegan issued the order.

Without further ado, you all got into the car.

The three military trucks drove for about twenty minutes before stopping.

After another ten minutes of hiking, you arrived at a lake.

"In combat, whether you are forced or voluntarily submerged in the water, the most important thing is to ensure your ability to hold your breath."

Underwater, without a strong enough ability to hold one's breath, even escape is difficult, let alone combat.

So the first lesson he taught you was underwater breath-holding.

The main purpose of breath-holding training is not only to extend the time you can stay underwater, but also to relax your mind underwater. Only when you are not nervous can you handle some unexpected situations flexibly and calmly.

More than thirty people walked towards the lake in a grand procession. Fortunately, it was already summer, otherwise the temperature of the lake in the mountains would be no joke.

Keegan, holding a stopwatch, stands on the shore looking at you.

"Five, four, three, two, one, begin!"

At his command, you all submerged your heads in the water.

The gurgling bubbles suddenly fill your ears, followed by silence, as if your senses have vanished in the water, leaving only a hazy echo.

Completely submerged in water, with only the occasional bubbles from your teammates and yourself in your ears, you didn't consciously keep track of time, so you had no idea how much time had passed.

When you felt a tightness in your chest and a soreness in your nose, you voluntarily surfaced!

1 minute and 27 seconds

The moment you surfaced, Keegan's voice rang out.

Chapter 40: One-on-One Tutoring

You touched your face, looked around, and through your still slightly damp eyelashes, you saw... there wasn't a single one floating around you.

You turn your head and silently meet Keegan's gaze on the shore.

He remained calm and didn't comment on you just because you were the first one to get up.

But you felt a little awkward.

Having been at the base for so long, although you were indeed a complete novice with no experience at the beginning, apart from being a little behind in physical fitness at the start, you have never been at the bottom of the training later on.

I never expected that after nearly three months of training, you would still be at the bottom.

And this was in front of the new instructor!

It is said that after joining the army, in order to cope with the possibility of underwater combat and high-altitude hypoxia, soldiers will be trained to hold their breath underwater.

Since you've never had any training in this area, you naturally can't compare to them.

Thinking about it that way makes you even more embarrassed!

In Keegan's eyes, this clearly shows that you are an inexperienced greenhorn!

You silently squat down, cover the lower half of your face with water, look down at the water surface, and then exhale and play with water bubbles.

When people are embarrassed, they really do strange things.

As time went on, the time one could hold their breath became shorter and shorter, and other people underwater surfaced one after another.

And the longest one is actually Blizzard next to you!

"2 minutes 47 seconds."

You whispered to her, "My God, Blizzard, how are you so amazing?"

You remember that before she came to the base, she was also a new recruit who had just joined the army!

Even Luo Wei and his group, who had practical experience, only managed to gain 2 minutes and 30 seconds more.

Blizzard raised an eyebrow and smiled confidently: "I used to work at a swimming pool, and I was an excellent coach!"

Indeed, additional training can never compare to the skills people use to make a living.

You crouch in the water, waiting for Keegan to make his statement.

Especially for you, being last place always makes you very anxious, afraid of being ridiculed and scolded.
