Chapter 537 - Threaten (2/2)

She raised her hand out towards Xiao Luo. This was the guy who managed to rescue her from the very jaws of death, and she still had to rely on Xiao Luo to bring her to safety. She quickly realized that it was essential for her to maintain a good relationship with Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo took a glance at her dirty hands and said, “This is my mission, so you don’t have to be this polite with me.”

“I know that, but you saved my life, so thank you,” Sarah took the initiative, grabbed his hand, and shook it, with a smile on her face.

With little empathy, Xiao Luo flashed a look of disgust at her. He really hated having to shake such a dirty hand.

Sarah then hesitated and blinked her eyes. “Mr. Mie, I have to go somewhere else to take back the SD card–it has all the recordings of how brutal the Libyan Black Army really is,” she said.

“Where is it? Lead the way!”

Xiao Luo was becoming a little bit annoyed. Protecting this woman here was one thing, but his own goal here was to kill Khun Sa. He was carefully trying to assess the situation by looking at his surroundings, but this woman was continually disturbing him, and it naturally p*ssed him off quite a bit.

Sarah nodded her head and quickly led the way towards the place where she hid the SD card.

Her memory and sense of direction were pretty good, and they didn’t take any unnecessary detours. Xiao Luo followed her, and they arrived at the place that she was talking about in about fifteen minutes.

It was an abandoned shopping mall. As the war had broken out for quite a while now, all the valuable items were long gone, either stolen or removed by the merchants themselves. The first and second floors were filled with rags, confetti, carton boxes, shelves, and the place looked a mess. Looking at this scene felt as if they were about to reach the end of days.

Xiao Luo noticed the woman running into the female toilet and came out with a pendant hung around her neck, and the SD card was hidden inside.

Sarah had a smile on her face. “Mr. Mie, let’s go,” she said. She put the pendant inside her pocket, feeling a lot more relieved.

Xiao Luo nodded his head, but suddenly, he could hear the rumbling of a vehicle. Before he could even react to it, he sensed impending danger.

BANG!

A high-velocity bullet pierced right through the thick wall of the shopping mall and flew right toward him.

Xiao Luo leaned the upper half of his body backward and simultaneously pushed Sarah to the side. The bullet streaked in a lethal trajectory, flying right over his chest, and although it didn’t come into contact with his flesh, the high temperature it generated singed Xiao Luo’s chest and created a superficial wound.

The bullet hit then struck the wall on the other side of the shopping mall and easily penetrated right through it. That wall was roughly fifteen centimeters thick, but it went clean through like a thin piece of paper.

“L115A3 sniper rifle?!”

Sarah, who was on the ground, was utterly shocked. “This kind of gun can kill an enemy from 2.5 kilometers away. It’s the king of all sniper rifles, and it can even easily penetrate through an armored car,” she said.

Xiao Luo looked at her as if saying, this woman sure knows quite a lot.

This was indeed an L115A3 sniper rifle from America, and it held the record for killing an armed combatant from 2,430 meters away. A British soldier in Afghanistan managed to kill five Taliban fighters in 28 seconds from 1600 meters away. No one should underestimate the power and killing range of this rifle.

Xiao Luo was very sure that he didn’t expose his own location and wasn’t in the enemies’ field of vision earlier on. That could only mean one thing–that the gun was equipped with a thermal sensor. It could detect targets based on heat signatures despite obstacles to a shooter’s field of vision. Using the thermal sensor, a sniper could identify the exact location of any sort of living being from a radius of one kilometer. Having such a device was akin to a tiger sprouting wings. Walls were no protection against this kind of weapon.

BANG!

Another shot was fired. The high-powered round penetrated the wall again and was locked onto Xiao Luo.

It was impossible for Xiao Luo to find cover in the face of such a sniper rifle, and he couldn’t ensure his own safety. He immediately picked up Sarah, who was beside him, and jumped off from the shopping mall’s second floor. When he hit the ground, he instantly found his footing and dashed forward like a cheetah.

As he bounded forward, he saw four military jeeps parked just around the shopping mall. That L115A3 sniper rifle was placed at the top on one of those jeeps, and the one operating it was a bearded foreign man.
