Live ammunition shooting is nothing, the real challenge is the combat exercise.
The training camp is full of students, there is no need for employees to act as sparring partners, any team that practices tactics can serve as sparring partners.
"Since you already have three people, let's test your combat effectiveness in the most realistic way. You will have a confrontation exercise with the SWAT team from Los City. The three of you will form a group and play the role of criminals hiding in the building, while the opposing side will use two groups of four to conduct attack drills."

Thompson mentioned that the opponents were not to be underestimated, as SWAT is an abbreviation for Special Weapons and Tactics and originally referred to the Los City Special Police. The term was coined by the Los Angeles Special Police, but now SWAT has become a general term for special police forces worldwide. In order to differentiate, the Los Angeles Special Police changed their name to LAPD SWAT.
Overall, the Los City SWAT team is quite famous and formidable. Gao Guang was surprised and satisfied to be able to have a confrontation exercise with such a team.
However, Francisco didn't know the significance of this and asked in surprise, "Does the Los City SWAT team also come here for training? Don't they have their own training grounds?"
"They do have their own training grounds, but ours is bigger, better, and more well-equipped. Listen to me, I won't allow the team I train to lose, understand? You must win for me."
Thompson still had a smile on his face, but his tone was unusually serious. After warning the three of them, he continued, "The exercise will use paintball guns. Each person will have ninety rounds of bullets, divided into three canisters. There are no extra bullets. The only criterion for determining victory or defeat is which side runs out of ammunition. Only hits on vital areas can be considered as fatal. An instructor will act as the referee. Now, get your equipment and wait inside for the exercise to begin!"
The confrontation exercise was exciting. Gao Guang and the others put on their clothes, wore masks, and went to the exercise house to choose their positions, waiting for the SWAT team to launch their attack.
This was an exercise without a script. Gao Guang and the others had the advantage of being inside the building and could familiarize themselves with the terrain in advance. On the other hand, the attacking side had more people but were unfamiliar with the terrain, so it was considered fair overall.
Ninety paintball bullets were not many, but it simulated the situation in real combat to the greatest extent. In this face-to-face indoor battle, it was basically impossible to finish three magazines.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, they became extremely familiar with the terrain. Finally, the members of the SWAT team appeared.
Francisco's spirits were lifted as he looked at the SWAT team in black in the distance. Subconsciously licking his lips, he said, "The cops are here! Come on! Let's fight them!"
This sentence sounded awkward. Francisco finally spoke out what was in his heart, but Gao Guang felt that it was not a good omen.
As a member of the mafia family, Francisco felt a strong sense of identification. This was just an exercise, but his face was filled with a murderous aura.
At the attacking position, about fifty meters away from where Gao Guang and the others occupied the house, the SWAT team divided into two columns, holding guns and quickly advancing towards them.
Paintball guns could shoot up to fifty meters, but they were only accurate within thirty meters. When the SWAT team entered the thirty-meter range, Gao Guang suddenly said, "Fire!"
Suddenly standing up, he continuously pulled the trigger and shot several paintballs from behind the window, leaving red marks on the front of the two SWAT team members.
"Blue team, A1B1, hit in the head, exit the exercise."
The referee immediately judged that the two SWAT team members exited the exercise. However, after Gao Guang accurately hit the first two people with several bullets, Francisco forcefully pulled him back and shouted, "Danger!"
Paintballs flew slowly, otherwise Gao Guang would have been hit. The counterattack from the two columns of SWAT team members was extremely fast. Almost as soon as Gao Guang fired, they retaliated.
"If there was a sniper, you would have been hit."
Francisco seemed anxious, and Mike disdainfully said, "Of course we know, but this is just an exercise. They don't have snipers."
The three of them were suppressed and unable to aim and shoot, but the SWAT team advanced very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they reached the entrance of the building.
"Block the entrance!"
Gao Guang only had time to shout once before he raised his gun and fired two shots at the first person entering the door, followed by another shot at the second person.
The first person was hit in the head, but the second person was only hit in the chest. According to the referee's judgment, being hit in the chest did not require immediate withdrawal from the battle.
The third and fourth people quickly rushed in. They had traces of being hit, but they could still shoot. At this moment, Francisco stepped forward and stood in front of Gao Guang, and immediately had several blue scars on his body.
Francisco blocked four or five shots for Gao Guang. After all, this was not a real battle. Even if there were more paintball bullets, they might continue to be blocked by the person behind, which was a loophole in the rules.
Gao Guang unleashed his firepower behind Francisco, but he was not very accustomed to using a paintball gun. The accuracy and speed were very different from what he was used to, so the results were not satisfactory.
"Red team, A3, exit the exercise. A2, exit the exercise. A1, exit the exercise. Exercise over!"
With the loud shout of the referee, after Francisco was hit and exited, Mike followed and was hit by two shots and exited. Then, Gao Guang also exited without any surprises, lasting only two more seconds.
The referee raised his hand and looked at the remaining three members of the SWAT team, loudly declaring, "Blue team wins."
Eight SWAT team members were declared dead, which was quite a large number. Of course, the exercise was different from real combat. This was just an attempt to simulate indoor gunfights. If it were a real fight, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to engage in a gunfight.
Gao Guang and the others lost, but the process and the result were acceptable.
The referee shouted loudly, "Prepare for the second exercise."If you want to fight, you can't just fight once. You have to practice repeatedly, revise tactics, replenish ammunition, and change clothes that have been hit by bullets. It would take at least ten minutes.
But through the exercise just now, Mike's mentality suddenly changed a bit.
When he saw Francisco suddenly rushing out and standing in front of Gao Guang to block the paintballs, Mike was very angry. He felt that it was his position, his job, and he was the shield in front of the boss. But now his position was taken by Francisco.
But watching Francisco quickly get hit by several paintballs, unable to counterattack and withdraw from the exercise, Mike suddenly felt that it was not bad.
If this wasn't an exercise, then Francisco would be dead. If there was no Francisco, then Mike would be dead.
It's good to have one more person to help block the bullets. Why oppose it?
Suddenly enlightened, Mike suddenly felt that he didn't dislike Francisco anymore. Not only did he not dislike him, but he also looked at him with favor.
"Hey, buddy, you did well just now."
Mike extended his fist to Francisco, waiting for him to fist bump. He smiled and said, "We did well, even though we lost, we didn't lose face, right?"
Francisco frowned and shook his head. "No, if this wasn't an exercise, they wouldn't rush in like that. They would surround us, set up snipers around us, and we wouldn't have a chance to observe, let alone shoot in advance. Also, they would throw grenades, shock grenades, smoke grenades, or tear gas grenades first. Of course, we can also set up bombs in advance, but no matter what, our chances of winning are very slim."
"This is an exercise! An exercise! But no matter what, just remember to stand in front of the boss when something happens. You did well today."
After encouraging Francisco with a few words, Mike, in a good mood, said to Gao Guang, "Boss, how should we proceed next time?"
"This is an exercise to cultivate on-the-spot reaction and close-range shooting. If we shoot in advance, we will lose the main purpose of the exercise. Besides, the blue team already knows the terrain here. We must make some changes. Um, next time, let them all in. We'll split up. You stay here..."
Gao Guang started to command, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the voice of the referee coming from the walkie-talkie in front of him. "Exercise suspended, Red Team Captain, come out."
"What happened?"
Gao Guang picked up the walkie-talkie and asked, but he immediately heard Thompson's annoyed voice, "Someone wants you to call back, right now."
As soon as he mentioned calling back, Gao Guang had a rough idea of what had happened.
During training, Gao Guang always turned off his phone, but if it could interrupt the exercise, call the training camp, and then relay the call through Thompson, it could only be Danny or Smith.
Could it be that the big mission that Antonio and Francisco mentioned had arrived? The more Gao Guang thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
No time to think about the exercise anymore, Gao Guang hurriedly ran out, and then Thompson whispered to him, "Danny wants you to call him back, right now."
As expected, Gao Guang took out his phone, ran to a corner where no one was around, and called Danny.
"Sorry to interrupt your training and exercise, but there's a job that needs you to decide whether to do it or not as soon as possible. It's like this, there's a mission for you. I originally had more suitable candidates and teams, but the client insisted on using you, and it's urgent, so I had to interrupt the exercise and ask for your opinion."
This is the return for leaving a good impression on the big boss. Besides Renato, Gao Guang couldn't think of anyone else who would use him.
Gao Guang was a little excited and asked, "Is it Renato looking for me? What mission, how much money?"
"It's not Renato, but it is Renato who recommended you. The identity of the employer needs to be kept confidential for now, and the details of the mission are difficult to define, but overall, it's about protecting the mission. The specific details need to be discussed in person. As for the commission, it starts at two million dollars and there's no upper limit."
It's not a repeat customer, but a new customer. Gao Guang really didn't expect this.
As for this mission, he had to figure out what exactly he would be doing before deciding whether to accept it or not. But with a starting price of two million, just for this money, as long as it wasn't a mission that would definitely lead to death, he would definitely accept it.
There was no need to hesitate anymore. Gao Guang immediately said, "I need to know the details and requirements of the mission. If there's no problem, I will definitely take this job. Where should we meet?"
Danny let out a sigh of relief and said, "I will inform the employer. The client will come to your company at 8 o'clock tonight. This mission has nothing to do with us. We won't charge an information fee, nor will we be involved. You can handle the specific details yourself."
