YM778.TV Chapter 556: Hunting Season!
Perhaps they were lucky, as compared to yesterday’s light snow, today’s weather was exceptionally sunny. Zhou Chao looked up at the clear blue sky, feeling the warmth of the sun on his face. It lifted his spirits considerably.
“Boss, my men told me yesterday that you wanted to play with guns, so I brought out all the equipment early this morning. Take a look and see if there’s anything you like,” Lev proudly pointed at the firearms laid out on the long table.
Zhou Chao scanned the weapons on the table and couldn’t help but exclaim internally. There were enough firearms to equip a reinforced platoon, including a six-barreled M134 Minigun and a Barrett sniper rifle, also known as the anti-material sniper rifle mentioned earlier.
“Wow, one would think you’re planning a bank heist with all this gear. These weapons are impressive,” Zhou Chao said, taking a step towards the table, alongside Lev.
Lin Wu and Chen Nan also approached, eagerly examining the firearms on the table. They were thrilled, knowing that such weapons were rarely accessible back home in China, even in the top shooting clubs, which typically had simpler firearms.
Lin Wu picked up a SCAR assault rifle, quickly disassembled and reassembled it, then looked up at Zhou Chao. “Boss, can I try this gun?”
Looking at the assault rifle in Lin Wu’s hands, Zhou Chao burst into laughter. It wasn’t surprising; this gun was too familiar. Anyone who had played PUBG would find it instantly recognizable—the famous “SCAR!”
“Go ahead, but be careful not to hurt anyone,” Zhou Chao replied.
“Yes, boss!” Lin Wu happily grabbed the assault rifle and two extra magazines before heading towards the wooded area on the edge of the pasture.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan hesitantly spoke up, holding an M16 rifle. “Boss, I’d like to try too.”
“Sure, go ahead,” Zhou Chao replied nonchalantly, waving his hand.
Zhou Chao noticed that besides rifles, there were also several handguns on the long table. Brands like Beretta, Glock, and Colt were among them.
“I didn’t know you had a hobby collecting firearms, Lev. You seem to have every famous firearm in the world here,” Zhou Chao remarked, picking up a Beretta and examining it, teasing Lev.
“Hehe, boss, I just like playing with guns, and these things come in handy for us too. So, I’ve bought a few of each model,” Lev replied awkwardly. He wasn’t really a collector; he just enjoyed playing with these gadgets.
Zhou Chao glanced meaningfully at Lev but said nothing, continuing to study the firearms on the table. His gaze eventually settled on the Barrett rifle.
The Barrett M82A1 sniper rifle, colloquially known as the “Big Shot,” had a caliber of 12.7 mm, weighed nearly 30 pounds, and had a maximum range of 2,500 meters. Because of its excellent performance, it was widely used by many countries, including certain special forces units. It could practically knock down a kid with each shot.
Zhou Chao lifted the Barrett off the table with one hand. After a moment of inspection, he slung it over his shoulder. “Lev, is it legal to hunt during this season?”
“Boss, you’ve asked the right person. From September to March of the following year is the hunting season in Russia. The most pristine forests in the whole of Siberia are found in the Irkutsk Oblast, making it the best hunting ground in Bear Country. Your ranch happens to be located here, and the biodiversity is quite extensive. Even tigers can be found here, so you can hunt with peace of mind.”
Zhou Chao burst into laughter. “What are we waiting for, brothers? Each of you pick a weapon, and let’s go hunting in the mountains. If we get anything good, we’ll continue with a bonfire party tonight!”
The many bodyguards standing nearby excitedly shouted, “Thank you, boss!”
Their voices were so loud that even Lin Wu and Chen Nan, who were standing a distance away, turned their heads to see what was happening.
“Once we’re in the primeval forest, who knows what we might encounter. For your safety, boss, put on this tactical vest,” Lev said, holding out a black tactical vest.
Without delay, Zhou Chao took the tactical vest and put it on himself, grabbing two 12.7mm bullet magazines and a pistol, which he tucked into the vest.
After a quick check to ensure nothing was missing, he turned to the bodyguards who had already selected their equipment.
At that moment, Zhou Chao felt like he was heading into battle. With a sweeping gesture, he exclaimed, “Let’s go!”
Lev followed closely beside Zhou Chao, holding a Remington Myoop rifle, and had a small crossbody bag strapped to his back, its contents unknown.
“Boss, where are you all going? Are you going to war?” Lin Wu watched as Zhou Chao and the others approached, each armed, and he was momentarily stunned. After all, there weren’t any real enemies for the boss in Bear Country, so what was this about?
“What war? We’re going hunting! Don’t you want to join?” Zhou Chao replied, with a hint of mischief in his eyes as he looked at Lin Wu, who seemed a bit dazed.
After snapping out of it, Lin Wu glanced at the fully armed group behind Zhou Chao and swallowed hard. “Um, I’d like to go hunting too!”
Zhou Chao didn’t pay much attention and nodded.. “Let’s head into the mountains!”
