Chapter 294 - Righteous Cause (2/2)

“Be careful! Hide well. I’m going out.” Ye Jian used all the basic Tibetan dialect she knew and reminded Yang Jin to hide properly. She took the sniper rifles left in the tent and went to the high grounds.

She positioned her rifle and leaned towards the night-vision scope. She adjusted the distance and started searching for her target.

A man in Tibetan costume entered her vision. She zoomed in and slowly aimed at this person. As the man retreated, she saw him holding his waist occasionally.

Xia Jinyuan said that a high-position mercenary was injured. This man didn’t enter any tents to hide but instead, was looking for a hiding position outside. From his actions, he seemed suspicious.

However, she couldn’t just kill him because of her personal thoughts. Hence, she didn’t shoot instantly. She turned off her laser and continued aiming at the man.

The herdsmen were all bold people. No matter how furious the gunshots were outside, no one came out of their tent frantically.

The herdsmen in this area trusted soldiers. To them, these soldiers who guarded the borders were their guardian angels.

They would give them numerous khatas¹ every year to show the soldiers their respect and enthusiasm.

Because of this trust, they chose to stay in their tents and wait for the gunshots to stop.

Why did a soldier choose to fight? They did it for their country and the people.

Every bullet they shot was a sign of their courage. They were heroes who fought without the fear of death.

Ye Jian didn’t wear any military uniforms but she already positioned herself as a soldier. When she saw Han Zheng holding his gun and running towards the direction where the man in Tibetan costume was hiding, she didn’t hesitate any more and pulled the trigger. A flash could be seen. The bullet shot out of the nozzle.
