[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

Then, the four of you went into the cafeteria, picked out some food, and sat down to eat.

During this time, you all shared your training experiences from the past few days, and even Luo Wei couldn't help but join in.

Suddenly, Blizzard posed a question.

Have you received any news about a new mission?

Chapter 78: Drone Bombing

You, Vita, and Lovi all looked completely bewildered.

"What new mission?"

"I haven't heard of that!"

"Blizzard, where did you hear this news?"

While we were having a nice chat, Blizzard suddenly threw out this question, instantly grabbing your attention.

Even the people at the next table seemed to turn their heads to look over.

After all, when it comes to a mission, some people are happy while others are worried.

The missions do offer opportunities for promotion and bonuses, but they also bring danger.

People who are looking for a promotion or want to earn more money will definitely hope to receive assignments.

But for those who have no ambition and just want a stable life, there's nothing to look forward to, and they might even resist it.

Blizzard seemed to realize that his words had attracted attention, so he quickly lowered his voice.

"Didn't your instructors tell you? It seems the base received a new mission, something like... peacekeeping?"

You all shook your heads in unison to show that your instructors had not mentioned such a thing to you.

Vita explained in a low voice, "It should be Instructor Gates who got the first-hand information; we don't have that kind of speed."

You nodded. After all, Gates and Ghost are quite close. It wouldn't be surprising if Captain Price or Ghost got the mission information immediately.

Blizzard, propping his head up with his hand, sighed, "I really hope I can have the chance to participate this time."

Vita laughed and said, "Your back is still hurting, and you're already thinking about doing missions?"

Blizzard scoffed: "Anyway, it'll be fine soon. You guys got promoted to privates last time, but I'm still a private. It's making me really anxious!"

Rowe interjected promptly: "Blizzard, don't worry, maybe you'll be promoted to corporal next time and surpass us."

Blizzard said with a touched expression, "Love, sometimes I really admire my own judgment. I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

......

As they chatted enthusiastically, you felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

The previous experience inevitably left some impact on you. You are somewhat afraid, yet you understand that you cannot avoid it.

You work so hard to learn combat skills, is it really because of your passion?

It's all for the purpose of increasing one's chances of survival in battle.

Therefore, you have a conflicted feeling about the task, both accepting and resisting it.

After dinner, you and Vita helped Blizzard back to her dorm, and then you found some ice and put it in a towel to apply a cold compress to her.

After finishing your work, you lay down on the bed for a nap. You still have a vocational class in the afternoon.

Today's extracurricular class includes drone training, but unfortunately, it clashes with your regular medical class.

You hesitated between medical and drone training, but ultimately chose drone training.

After all, medical knowledge can be learned every day, but drones require scheduling.

"yn? What are you doing here?"

You arrived very early, and you were the only person in the room, so the person who came in after you was quite surprised to see you.

You turn around and wave to him.

"Hi, Will."

Will approaches you, his sunny face beaming with smiles.

"I didn't expect to see you here. Did you choose an extra role?"

You nodded: "Lake and Joseph are gone. My main role has been changed to sniper, and my secondary role will also be adjusted to match my main role."

By saying this, you are trying to convey that your transfer was a normal procedure and that there were no preferential treatments involved.

Will's smile deepened: "That's great! I've always thought you'd be better suited to be a sniper. You've had two training sessions on drones before, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

You politely thanked him for his kindness: "Thank you, Will. I'm glad you were willing to help me."

Will's fair face flushed slightly as he asked you nervously, "Then...can we exchange contact information?"

He then hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else! It was just to make it easier for you to ask."

Although you are teammates, you haven't added everyone to your contacts. You can usually discuss things in the base group chat.

Seeing his helpless expression, I couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Ok."

Will was taken aback for a moment, then smiled happily: "You agreed?"

You nod. Although you don't want to be bothered by male soldiers who try to chat you up, this Will seems like a nice guy. He hasn't bothered you too much as long as you refuse him. It wouldn't hurt to exchange contact information.

After exchanging contact information with Will, you learn from him that today's drone training is bombing training.

Although you've practiced with drones before, it was only obstacle course flying; you haven't even practiced drone reconnaissance or drone shooting. Getting straight to bombing is indeed a bit challenging for you.

After actually trying it, you'll break out in a cold sweat.

You put on your aviator goggles, and a low-angle view appears before you.

You take off the drone, then turn on the head-mounted radar. After confirming that the radar is connected, you use the remote control to control the drone to fly a certain distance.

The drone's direction is controlled by the handle, but you can also turn your head to control the drone's view, similar to the feeling of controlling a fighter jet in combat.

Since you've never flown a plane, this perspective, similar to controlling an airplane, is a kind of simulation experience for you.

After bringing the drone back, you take off your flight goggles and say to Will beside you, "Flight normal."

Since it was a bomb-throwing practice, it was done in pairs, with one person operating the device and the other helping to load the bomb.

You and Will teamed up on your own, since among these people, you were only really familiar with him and Lina.

Yes, Lina is also in this training session, but she has already teamed up with others.

You and Will agreed that you would operate the drone first, while he would follow instructions to install the bomb.

Put your flight goggles back on, and after Will says the bomb is installed, you use the control stick to take the drone off again.

Will pulled the safety pin and said, "We can begin."

It made a buzzing sound, and then it flew away with a whoosh.

In the view transmitted through the glasses, "you" gradually rise, watching yourself and Will's figures slowly shrink, and then fly away from the base to the lush wooded back mountain.

You slowly descend from the treetop, then travel and fly through the trees and branches.

Finally, you found the tree trunk dummy with the red mark.

You gradually approached and finally stopped above the dummy.

At the base, you operate the handle to activate the turntable device with fixed load.

As the turntable rotates, the straps securing the bomb are released, and the bomb falls to the ground!

Raise the handle! You are rapidly ascended, and the bomb explodes the next second, with dirt and smoke erupting before your eyes. The dummies and red markers are blasted far away!

You turned around and flew away without looking back, eventually landing steadily back in your hand.

As you take off your aviator goggles, Will immediately leans over and asks, "How was it?"

Instead of directly answering whether the bomb was successfully dropped, you smiled and exclaimed:

"The feeling of observing an explosion up close is quite exciting."

Upon hearing this, Will immediately became interested and began to look forward to controlling it.

You hand him your aviator goggles: "Switch places."

ch.79: Slapping a Bomb with Bare Hands

Will takes the flight goggles from your hand, and while waiting for the supervisor to install the new dummy, he begins to teach you how to secure the bomb to the drone.

Although the process wasn't complicated, you couldn't refuse his enthusiasm, so you watched him teach attentively.

With the second round of preparations complete, Will puts on his aviator goggles, and you begin planting the bomb.

The process is simple: just secure the bomb to the strap under the drone, hang the strap on the rotating device, and pull the safety pin on the bomb after the drone takes off.

You flip the drone over, secure the bomb with the straps, fasten it to the rotating device, and then tell Will it's ready to take off.

Once the drone takes off and hovers in mid-air, you stretch out both hands, one to secure the bomb and the other to pull off the safety pin.

Just as you take a step back, ready to tell Will you can start, the straps on the drone suddenly come loose!

The bomb, which was originally secured with straps, fell as the straps came loose!

A chill ran through you!

The safety pin on the bomb has been ripped off. If it falls, it will injure both you and Will!

At that critical moment, your body reacted instinctively, reaching out to wave away the falling bomb!

After feeling a sharp pain from the impact on your palm, you immediately pounce on Will, tackling him to the ground while he was wearing aviator goggles and completely unaware of what was happening!

Bang!

A violent explosion rang out, making your head spin and your ears ring.

You rolled over and then struggled to sit up.

Will, who had been tackled by you, also took off his glasses and awkwardly propped himself up.
