" Okay, Sheriff, I'll pack it up now." He removed the magazine and pulled the sleeve to check if there were any bullets loaded. After confirming that it was safe, under Balmond's approving gaze, he turned off the safety and put the gun back into the holster.
Thank you, Mr. Balmond. See you tomorrow."
Balmond smiled and shook hands with William." Come over tomorrow afternoon and evening if you're free."
"Understood."
He was not in a hurry to mention the tuition fee. This matter could be discussed when the two of them were alone. He put away all the magazines and ammo boxes. Just as he was about to carry the Winchester M70 shotgun on his back, his heart skipped a beat. He shouted at Will," Sheriff, can you give me another ten minutes?”
It was only 10 minutes. Will nodded indifferently. Anyway, he had dragged it until now to go to Riley Farm just to wait for everyone to sleep. After hearing Will say " no problem," William pointed at the 10x scope on the Winchester M70. He said," Mr. Balmond, can you tell me about this M70 shotgun and scope?”
If he was only aiming at a target within 200 meters, he didn't have to care about the wind speed, temperature, humidity, gravity, or the scale on the scope. He just needed to aim at the enemy's torso through the scope. If he took down the enemy with one shot, he would use another shot if he had the chance. If the enemy hid behind cover, he would die from bleeding.
The Winchester M70 looked unremarkable, but the magnum bullets in this gun could kill a moose with one shot. If it hit a person's torso, a bloody hole at least two fingers wide would appear behind them. Forget about being sent to the hospital, if someone helped to press the wound, it would be a blessing for them to live for another ten minutes. There were too many things to consider in a long-range sniper. However, William did not even know how to use the scope of the Winchester M70. Of course, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for advice.
After all, it would be an advantage to go to Riley's Farm later and learn how to snipe at a short distance. Balmond was very familiar with the Winchester M70. The Eagle Country's special sniper rifle was the M14, an improved version of the Garland rifle.
However, most of the Eagle Country's soldiers would rather use the Winchester M70 that was produced in 1936 or the Remington M700 that was introduced in 1967 than the M14.
Therefore, Balmond easily told William the various data of the M70 and the precautions for using it. William repeated it word for word. She let him load the gun and fired twenty bullets.
Wier held his binoculars and looked at the 200-meter wooden target with a dull gaze.
In the beginning, the two shots missed the target. However, according to Balmond's instructions, he adjusted the shots and returned to his room to take out his binoculars. The third shot hit the head of the wooden target, giving Will and Balmond a fright. The more Balmond looked at William, who was lying on the ground, the more he felt that he should encourage him to join the army.
Fortunately, Balmond was still a good person. When he thought of the entire Eagle Country, he realized that since 1965, regardless of whether he was unemployed or not, he had a job. They were either university students or primary school students, married or not, and had no children to raise. As long as one was 18 to 25 years old, anyone had to report to the conscription office. The fact that they had to queue up to go to the Monkey Kingdom made him feel that it was better not to harm this young man in front of him. Forrest Gump from the movie Forrest Gump had been to the Monkey Kingdom and even received a medal for carrying a wounded person to the battlefield. It looked very beautiful.
However, the truth was that the Eagle Country had no choice but to launch a '100,000-man plan' when a large number of young people were avoiding the recruitment. The goal of this plan was to send 100,000 Eagle Country people with low intelligence like Agan to the Monkey Country as cannon fodder. If William had not secretly returned to the orphanage and school to steal and burn all his information when he left San Francisco more than a month ago, his information would definitely have been reported to the San Francisco Military Conscription Office by the school and orphanage. However, there was another problem here. Once he turned 18 and used his real identity, he would still have to go to the Monkey Kingdom if he was discovered by the Eagle Kingdom's law enforcement agencies.
If you don't want to go, you can either wander around like Lan Bo, or you can escape from Eagle Country and wait until 1977 when Eagle Country will no longer pursue the matter of deserters. Otherwise, if they were caught 74 years ago, they would be sentenced to three years in prison, and if they were caught 77 years ago, they would be sentenced to 24 months of community service. William put away his gun and thanked Balmond. Under Balmond's instructions that he had to come for training tomorrow, he drove away from the shooting range with Will and headed to Riley Farm in the north of the town.
As they were about to sneak into Riley Farm, and there might even be a gunfight if they really discovered the problem, William said to Will, who had drunk but did not feel that there was anything wrong,
Sheriff, I'm going to sleep first so that I won't run out of energy later."
Will nodded without any objections. After seeing William really close his eyes and pretend to sleep without moving, he raised his opinion of William again. When ordinary people completed their first live ammunition shooting in their lives and participated in solving a case, they would be too excited to fall asleep so quietly. For a moment, Will even thought that he might as well not go to Riley Farm. He only needed to maintain his relationship with William. When he was older, there would be plenty of opportunities to cooperate and even make a fortune. There was no need to take risks with him. Moreover, if something happened, William's family would definitely find trouble with him. However, when he thought about the area and valuation of Riley Farm, he began to hesitate again. One was the benefits that were right in front of him. One was the future. It looked beautiful, but no one knew the outcome.
As the police car got closer and closer to Riley Farm, Will thought to himself that since he had witnessed William's talent in sniping, he would let him be a sniper from afar. But then, he remembered that he had to enter Riley Farm alone, so he immediately put his life first. Ten minutes later, the car stopped outside Riley Farm on a dirt road built on the mountainside. He turned off the lights and used the binoculars to observe the pitch-black farm villa and some huge warehouses further away. He looked at his watch. It was 11:30 p. m. He turned back to look at William, who was still pretending to be asleep. He decided to wait until 12 p. m. Without turning on the lights, he drove the car into the bushes by the roadside and stopped under a tree with a dense canopy. He observed and waited for the time. Twenty minutes later, William, who had not really fallen asleep, suddenly heard a cracking sound. When he opened his eyes, he thought that the sound was the sound of an animal or a person stepping on a dead branch. Moreover, the sound was definitely not far from him. Without any hesitation, he pulled out the M1911 from his waist and took out a magazine to reload.
