He activated his Sharingan and hypnotized the white state trooper in charge: "Hey, there's really no one in our car. If you don't believe me, you can come up and see for yourself, but you still need to be hygienic, okay?"
The white state trooper met Gu Ran's alluring eyes and felt as if his soul had been devoured, instantly losing all self-awareness.
His eyes were vacant, and he mechanically replied, "Okay..."
The other state troopers who surrounded them were bewildered; why was their captain suddenly being so agreeable?
"Also, your companions are pointing guns at me, which is very frightening. Could you ask them to put their guns down?"
Chapter 265 Outdoor Date
"Put down your guns. They are guests who have come from afar. There is no need to point guns at them," the white state trooper ordered the people around him.
The state troopers put down their guns, even more puzzled. This superior officer often drew his gun and pointed it at people, for which they had received many complaints, but he never changed his ways.
Moreover, he has racist tendencies and usually treats African Americans and Asians very badly.
But at this moment, he actually put down his gun and asked them to put down their guns as well?
The white state trooper was then hypnotized and controlled by Gu Ran, got into the RV, glanced around casually, and got out half a minute later.
“Nothing was found. You may leave.” The white state trooper leader let Gu Ran go.
The people around them made way.
Five minutes later, the white state sergeant regained consciousness from the hypnosis.
He felt as if he had just had a dream, and he couldn't remember anything that had just happened.
Completely forgetting that he had just stopped a motorhome for inspection.
It wasn't until his colleagues mentioned it during a get-together after get off work that he suddenly realized he had let a suspicious vehicle pass!
But he dared not report the matter, because he could not explain to his superiors why he had let the car pass.
Could it be that I've been bewitched by Eastern witchcraft?
He could only pray that the RV was indeed fine; otherwise, it would be a major mistake on his part, and he might lose his job.
And so, the white state trooper spent a week living in fear, going to church every day to pray that Jesus would protect him and keep him from losing his job, since it was really hard to find work during the subprime mortgage crisis.
It wasn't until a week later, when he learned of the robbers' deaths, that he felt relieved.
*……*……*
The minor incident on the road did not dampen Su Xiaoqiang and Gu Ran's spirits.
Wisconsin is about the same size as Anhui Province in China, but has a population of only about five million.
This sparsely populated region is primarily an agricultural state with a thriving livestock and dairy industry, earning it the reputation of being America's milk capital. The terrain is mainly hilly, with forests and rivers.
Gu Ran looked at the map and drove off the highway into the countryside, stopping at a gas station to fill up with diesel fuel along the way.
After driving into the mountains for a while, there were hardly any cars on the road anymore.
Further on, there were no highways, only mountain roads driven by local farmers, with tire tracks from various vehicles visible on them.
As the surroundings became increasingly quiet, Su Xiaoqiang felt a mix of nervousness and excitement, like a child about to embark on an adventure into an unknown place.
Seeing her expectant look, Gu Ran smiled and said, "You know what? American horror movies are all set in deserted places, like 'Wrong Turn' and 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'..."
"Wow!" He suddenly turned around and made a face at Su Xiaoqiang.
Su Xiaoqiang said expressionlessly, "You childish brat!"
"Are not you afraid?"
"Don't worry, since you dared to bring me here, you will definitely take me back!"
Children aren't afraid because they're ignorant and fearless, but Su Xiaoqiang wasn't afraid either because she had her boyfriend with her.
My boyfriend is amazing.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Ran drove his car to a small river.
"We've arrived." The car then stopped on a pebble beach. After parking, Gu Ran lowered the RV's tripod, intending to set up camp there.
After the car was parked, Su Xiaoqiang got out first.
She was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. As soon as she got out of the car, she stretched. There was no one around, and she stretched without any regard for others, showing off her slender waist and high breasts.
It feels very comfortable and spacious!
Gu Ran admired her figure from the side for a while, then began to set up camp.
Su Xiaoqiang surveyed the scenery of the campsite. To the south was a small river, and the area was surrounded by mountains and forests, creating a tranquil and serene environment.
This place has many tall and large coniferous forests, as well as a lot of shrubs. What is hidden deep in the jungle? A gentle breeze blows by, occasionally bringing the sounds of insects chirping and birds singing.
In Chicago, where you're used to skyscrapers and crowds of people, suddenly arriving in the vibrant countryside is truly a pleasant experience.
"Gu Ran, are we going to light a campfire later? I'll go gather some firewood!" Su Xiaoqiang was as excited as a child about camping.
“No.” Gu Ran was putting down the RV’s external awning when he said to her, “We need to do some training today.”
"What kind of training?"
Gu Ran opened the rear compartment of the RV and pulled out an extension box from the back.
After opening the expansion box and seeing what was inside, Su Xiaoqiang was stunned.
There were two boxes of weapons, all kinds of guns, pistols, submachine guns, automatic rifles... as well as grenades, smoke grenades, and shrapnel rounds.
The reason why state troop checks were previously prohibited was precisely because of this!
"The wilderness is dangerous; you need to learn to protect yourself." Gu Ran took Su Xiaoqiang's hand and led her to the weapons rack. "Have you ever handled a gun before?"
“I’ve fired a few shots at paid shooting ranges,” Su Xiaoqiang said, picking up a Glock from the weapon rack. “I’ll use this… but… the weight of this gun seems off.”
“This one was modified by Kassel College, you can’t use it.” Gu Ran took the Glock back from her hand. If she used it, her wrist might be broken from the impact.
Then he handed her a regular Glock pistol that was sold on the market.
Glock guns are mostly made of plastic parts, so they are very lightweight and suitable for women. Gu Ran started by teaching her about the structure of the gun, disassembling the pistol and teaching her how to assemble and load it, while reminding her to always pay attention to the safety position of the gun.
Su Xiaoqiang was focused and studying diligently. She knew Gu Ran's intention in teaching her so that she could protect herself in critical moments.
"How were the results at the shooting range before?" Gu Ran asked.
"I can get a perfect 10-ring on the 10-meter target every time!" Su Xiaoqiang said proudly.
"Not bad, come on, try it now." Gu Ran took out a target paper, stuck it on a tall tree and hung it up, letting Su Xiaoqiang try shooting.
Su Xiaoqiang aimed her gun, and Gu Ran corrected some of her movements based on what she had learned in the firearms class at Kassel College.
She fired her first shot quickly, and it went in at eight.
She was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that this was not her true strength, so she paused for a moment before firing her second shot.
A perfect bullseye!
"Impressive, isn't it?" Su Xiaoqiang looked at Gu Ran, who just smiled indulgently and told her to continue.
In the next two minutes, she fired all seventeen bullets in the magazine, and almost every shot hit the bullseye.
She looked at Gu Ran triumphantly.
Gu Ran took the pistol from her hand, then held her hand that was pulling the trigger and massaged her fingers.
The trigger of the pistol was quite tight; her fingers must have been sore from the first time.
"Praise me!" Su Xiaoqiang let him hold her hands, like a child asking for a reward.
"Impressive, impressive, but you took too long to aim." Gu Ran patted her head and said, "The purpose of a pistol is to kill the enemy at close range. It's about stopping the enemy from moving as soon as possible. That's why American detectives empty the magazine every time they fire a shot, so that an enemy who is about to attack can no longer continue to attack."
As he spoke, Gu Ran changed to a new magazine, loaded it, and began to quickly pull the trigger at the target, emptying the magazine in less than ten seconds.
Su Xiaoqiang looked at the target paper; the bullets were all distributed within the nine rings.
"Next, I'll teach you how to fire three shots in quick succession. When you encounter an enemy, fire three shots in a row."
"Hey, this is so complicated. Doesn't the Glock have a repeating version?" Su Xiaoqiang remembered that the instructor at the shooting range had mentioned this.
"The automatic Glock 18 model is not available for civilian use. Of course, I have some here, but you'll have to start from the very basics."
Gu Ran took out two boxes of bullets from the armory and let her play with them at her leisure.
Practicing shooting is just like practicing driving; you need a lot of practice to become proficient.
Gu Ran planned that daily shooting practice was a must for this trip. After she became familiar with handguns, he would teach her how to use submachine guns and automatic rifles, as well as the techniques for using grenades and hand grenades.
Once she's familiar with various firearms, we'll take her hunting to add to the fun of the trip.
Hearing that they could go hunting later, Su Xiaoqiang became even more excited and practiced shooting even more diligently.
After firing a hundred bullets, I stopped her from practicing. Her hands were getting sore and tired, so there was no need to continue.
"You're in charge of this gun for the next few days. Take it with you whenever you go out, and be careful with the safety. Don't be silly and point the gun at your head..."
"Do I look like such a stupid person?" Su Xiaoqiang said with dissatisfaction.
Gu Ran had already prepared a gun holster for her, so she could hide the gun on her back and then practice drawing it.
The posture and movements for quickly drawing a gun are also very important, as they determine whether you can get into firing mode immediately.
At Kassel College, quick draw and shooting is also an important part of the shooting exam.
Su Xiaoqiang was very obedient; she would practice whatever Gu Ran asked her to practice.
As night fell, Gu Ran lit a campfire and prepared dinner.
"Ugh, training is exhausting!" Su Xiaoqiang lay casually on the camping chair, his arms a little sore from holding the gun so many times.
The aroma of dinner wafted from not far away, and she knew it was curry beef as soon as she smelled it, making her mouth water.
She watched Gu Ran cooking in the distance and thought that if the two of them lived a secluded life in the mountains in ancient times, it would probably be like this.
They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, the man tilling the fields and the woman weaving. There were no outsiders in the world, only the two of them, living together day and night, supporting each other through thick and thin, and then having several children...
This is so romantic.
"Everything's ready, let's eat!" Gu Ran called to Su Xiaoqiang.
"My arms are sore, you feed me!"
"Okay, okay, come on, open your mouth, ah—" Gu Ran fed Su Baobao.
