"Confirm the kill."

After speaking, Gu Ji finally stood up, aimed his gun down the corridor, and moved along the wall while reminding them, "Remember, if any of the assailants resist, shoot them dead immediately. Confirm the kill before proceeding."

It wasn't just Gao Bo, Jiang Hao, and the others on the scene.

The students in the stands also paused at hearing this. To be honest, many had never considered the idea of a "coup de grâce" during their years of university training.

Most people believed: once an assailant was shot, they would lose the ability to resist.

But in reality, Gu Ji had firsthand experience in actual combat and knew very well that as long as an assailant had breath and could still pull the trigger, they remained dangerous.

Factory district main entrance.

Wu Kang, leading a team ready to break through the front area, vaguely heard a low-frequency rumble. He knew it was the crowd cheering, muffled by their tactical earpieces, because the shooting range was not far from the sports field.

He couldn't help but look puzzled, thinking he hadn't performed any particularly outstanding tactical maneuvers yet. Was it just the speed of their actions?

With this in mind, he adjusted the channel.

As the on-scene commander, Wu Kang had the authority to communicate with the second team, "Second team, report your position immediately!"

"Second team has entered the central area and is advancing towards the hostage spot!"

What!?

Upon hearing Gu Ji's words, Wu Kang hurriedly looked at his watch and almost thought he misheard. In just half a minute, they had moved from the rear door to the central area?

Stationed at position four, Chen Zhiyu, listening to Wu Kang communicating with Gu Ji, had been paying attention to expressions. Seeing Wu Kang's frozen face, she thought Gu Ji had made a mistake and couldn't help but secretly worry.

But the next second, the voice of Mr. Sun, the commander, came through the tactical headset, completely dispelling her worries:

"From now on, the second team will become the main attacking team, and the first team will provide support!"

The few members of the first team looked at each other in confusion, only Chen Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curling into a smile as she murmured, "That Gu Ji, turns out he's quite impressive at critical moments!"

Bang bang bang!

Another burst of three shots, and Gu Ji hit the assailant's chest from a corner. Skilled in using the Type 95 rifle, and having leveled up his firearm skills to level 2, his precision was comparable to that of professional special police, "Confirm the kill, continue advancing!"

Central leadership stage on the celebration field.

A middle-aged policeman, in a white shirt with a single star on his shoulder and dark skin that commanded respect without anger, looked at the screen showing Gu Ji, suddenly turned his head, and asked in a low and heavy voice, "Mr. Lei, what do you think of this kid?"

The person addressed as "Mr. Lei," around thirty years old with a flat top, a square face, deep-set eyes, and wearing a blue-black tactical uniform with the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team insignia, was Lei Wanshan, the deputy captain of the Dragon and Tiger Assault Team.

Lei Wanshan briefly scanned with sharp eyes, speaking evenly:

"Quick reaction, calm thinking, decent marksmanship, some real combat experience, but not much."

"Hmm, it's rare to hear you praise someone with three sentences."

The middle-aged policeman in the white shirt chuckled, his voice like a bass speaker. He then turned his head again to look at the Special Police Academy's director, "Mr. Zhang, the Special Police Academy has produced a good seed this year. How's this kid's performance? Any interest in joining our special police team?"

"Above average."

Mr. Zhang adjusted his glasses, smiling slightly as he said, "Mr. Li has taken a liking to this kid? Haha, alright, I'll ask their instructor later."

Graduates' section in the stands.

Sitting among the students, Dong Ying slightly narrowed her eyes, staring at Gu Ji on the screen, and said softly, "The son has changed quite a bit in the past six months, with a clear predatory look in his eyes."

"Ahem! Special police must have some ferocity; otherwise, how can they suppress criminals?"

Gu Jian was quite satisfied with his son's performance, raising his mobile phone, "It's rare for the son to show his face, take more photos, his command ability is excellent!"

"Yes, Gu Ji has improved a lot in the past six months!"

Chen Hongsheng nodded in agreement nearby.

"I've told you before, but you wouldn't understand..."

Dong Ying shot Gu Jian a look, falling silent.

Shooting range.

Gu Ji and his team advanced at a rapid pace, quickly surrounding the core area after taking down two "terrorists" in succession, "Everyone, find cover on the spot, check your ammo, establish a perimeter."

After saying this, he adjusted the channel to the first team, "First team, report your status."

Soon, Wu Kang's slightly reluctant voice came through the tactical headset, "The first team is creeping into the core area, shot one enemy bandit, we have one casualty on our side."

"There's movement."

At this moment, Gao Bo, hiding under the wall of the core area, suddenly spoke up.

Gu Ji frowned slightly, not acting rashly, said only, "Wait for the first team to join."

In about twenty seconds, faint footsteps came from the right corridor. Gu Ji activated his rifle flashlight, and flashing lights from the corner signaled a response, as Wu Kang and the remaining four gathered over.

Chen Zhiyu saw Gu Ji and blinked at him.

Gu Ji merely glanced at her, then coldly said, "Currently, the remaining three bandits and the hostages should be inside. The core area of the factory is square-shaped, with one door and one window as two entry points."

"Wu Kang, you take your men to use a concussion bomb for a frontal assault, sweep the left corner area, I'll take mine through the left window, sweep the dead corner area behind the door. We must subdue at least two bandits, or we'll be on the defensive. Understood?"

"Okay."

At this point, with the entire school leadership watching them, Wu Kang could only obediently follow orders.

"Move out."

With the command given, Gu Ji led Gao Bo and the others to crouch against the wall, approaching the window on the left side of the factory, "Follow my order: three, two, one!"

Bam! Crash!

Simultaneous door kicking and window smashing. Jiang Hao tossed the concussion bomb toward the right corner wall under Gu Ji's command, and with two flashes, Gu Ji, without hesitation, smashed through the window frame and charged in, swiftly veering toward the blind spot beside the right door.

Though he knew this would expose his left side, he had no choice. In special operations, you must trust your team.

Fortunately, his tactics worked.

Wu Kang and Chen Zhiyu swiftly burst through the door, firing relentlessly at the left corner, instantly taking down an assailant. Yet, Gu Ji saw no bandits in his field of vision.

Soon, as members from the first and second teams rushed in, a middle-aged bandit among the "hostages" huddled on the floor grabbed a female hostage, pressing a handgun against her lower back, hiding behind her.

"Drop the gun!"

Gu Ji instantly swung his gun, targeting the threat.

"Make your people leave first!"

The middle-aged thug hides behind and speaks, "Or I'll shoot!"

"I advise you to put down the gun immediately, resisting further will only lead to death!" Gu Ji spoke while giving Gao Bo a look, the latter's pupils shrank, and he began to approach the thug from the side.

Upon hearing footsteps on the left side, the middle-aged thug instinctively moved to the right.

And during this movement, his right shoulder was exposed from the cover of the female hostage, Gu Ji quickly aimed and pulled the trigger, poof!

The powder shot hit the thug's right shoulder, and the pistol fell with a sound.

Seeing this, Wu Kang was the first to rush up, trying to capture the "thug" alive.

"Ah! Help!"

But unexpectedly, in an instant, someone among the hostages shouted, causing chaos.

"Everyone get down! Don't move! Fourth and Big Brother, control the scene, Xiaoyu, keep an eye on the door!"

Gu Ji shouted explosively while holding the gun, scaring many hostages into crouching down hurriedly. But in the crowd, a "female hostage" seized the chaos, pulling out a pistol from behind her waist and aiming to shoot Wu Kang.

Thankfully, there was a shout to alert.

Li Zongxuan was the first to notice something amiss and hurriedly fired a shot.

Simultaneously shooting were Gu Ji, Gao Bo, and Chen Zhiyu. Finally, as the female thug fell, the whole school burst into intense cheers, suddenly, applause thundered!!

"Unbelievable! How did that senior know there was a thug hiding among the hostages at the end?"

"Yeah, his mind is too meticulous! Thugs had been disarmed, usually, the instinctive reaction is to go up and subdue him!"

"Can only say this senior is too calm, before the assault he analyzed there might be three thugs inside, but there were only two, the other was either hiding outside the door or among the hostages."

"Such attention to detail, who knows what's this senior's name? Really want him to come to our junior year and hold an experience-sharing session!"

"Seems to be called Gu Ji..."

...

Listening to people around inquiring about "Gu Ji's" name, Gu Jian almost couldn't hold back his laughter, even the usually stern Dong Ying showed satisfaction, secretly taking a photo of Gu Ji on the screen and sending it to the family group.

"What's your name?"

At this moment, the "female thug" who acted as a hostage got up, walked over to Gu Ji with a smile and asked.

"Gu Ji."

"You performed exceptionally well!"

The "female thug" patted Gu Ji's shoulder, and from the crow's feet at her eyes, it was evident she and the "middle-aged thug" were the ones invited from the Special Police Force for this school drill.

"Thank you for the praise, senior."

Gu Ji grinned.

"Hey! Awesome Gu Ji!" Gao Bo, Jiang Hao, and others excitedly squeezed towards Gu Ji, "This time we've really shown off to the whole school! Thanks to your command! How did you finally think that the thug was hiding among the hostages?"

"Experience."

Gu Ji's answer had only two words.

Speaking of this, he remembered the scene in the game where Sam got him killed, paying the price of a life, how could he forget?

"Told you you're not fat, but you still put it on, hurry hurry hurry, quickly catch Gu Ji, hahaha..."

Chen Zhiyu beside him laughed and egged on, being the first to hug Gu Ji's waist, Gao Bo and others "hehe" laughed, grabbed his limbs, tossed him up with force: "Whoo~ Whoo~"

"Don't! Put me down! Who the hell pinched my butt..."

"Hahaha!"

...

In a burst of laughter, the Special Police Academy's final graduation drill for the class of 2021 concluded successfully.

After the ceremony was over, Gu Ji's parents did not seek him out, instead leaving time for him and his dorm mates from 7472. That night, Gu Ji drank till he was very drunk.

Gao Bo, Fourth Li Zongxuan, Big Brother Jiang Hao, none of them wanted the meal to conclude so early.

It seemed after this meal, they were about to each go their separate ways.

Another season of graduation.

The next day.

Gu Ji woke up in a hotel, the sunlight blinding his eyes a bit, instinctively using his hand to shield them, sitting up, he realized this was the hotel where his parents were staying, "Oh no! Today Dad, Mom, and Mr. Chen have to catch a flight..."

He slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering this important matter, hurriedly raised his hand to check his watch: "9:03."

The time had already passed.

"It's over..."

Gu Ji had drunk too much and forgot how he got here. He took out his phone and unlocked it, the first message was from Chen Zhiyu:

"You're heavy! You stink! We're not done! I went to send off my Dad, Mom, and your Dad, there's breakfast at the hotel! Don't forget to eat!"

Seems Chen Zhiyu carried me back.

Gu Ji continued to look at the next few messages.

Dad: Son, your Mom and I along with Mr. Chen are urgently catching a flight, we left first, you sleep a little more, Dad is proud of you!

Mom: Already grown up, still can't control yourself, drank so much, letting a girl carry you back, aren't you embarrassed, make sure to thank Xiaoyu properly;

Also, you've made good progress in these past six months, study hard and interview well, Mom is waiting for your good news;

There's hot water in the kettle, drink a cup when you wake up, I've left breakfast tickets at the hotel, remember to eat.

Mr. Fang: Gu Ji, you performed really well at last night's drill, heard Mr. Li from the city special police specifically asked for your name, so how about it, do you have a target for the second round of selections?

Mr. Chen: We've arrived at the airport, Gu Ji, don't worry, Xiaoyu is sending us.

After reading the last message, Gu Ji finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at the hot water kettle on the bedside table, subconsciously chuckled, Mom's words may be strict but she genuinely cares about me.

Drinking hot water.

Gu Ji replied to Dad, Mom, and the others' messages, also replied to Mr. Fang, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have forgotten something important.

"Oh! The treasure chest!"
