Chapter 417 Off-Track Skiing Path
Piercings was already very close to the vehicle’s parking spot. However, fewer visitors available for cover at a time like this, and fortunately, the enemies realized the consequences of shooting at a ski resort, which was why the enemies didn’t draw their guns. Hence, Piercings became a little careless after running away from his enemies for a while.
Seconds later, a bullet from nowhere whizzed past his scalp and hit a sign that not far away from him. He was so scared that cold sweat started pouring out of his forehead.
“Ah, I missed the target!” the young man was disappointed by his aim. At the same time, he did not forget to find an excuse for the mistake that he made, complaining to Vincent. “Your camera sh.e.l.l is kind of heavy. I won’t miss my target again,” he lamented.
However, when he readjusted his sights, he could no longer find the target.
Piercings had experience fighting in an open s.p.a.ce. After knowing that he almost met the grim reaper, he immediately knew that a sniper was targeting him nearby. Without any hesitation, he quickly dropped on the ground and rolled behind a snowdrift next to him.
However, the threat was still present. He knew that the sniper was still aiming at him from somewhere. Once he stood up, there would be no dodging the bullet the second time. The worst thing was, he suddenly remembered that there was a team of enemies pursuing him.
Only around two hundred meters separated Piercings and his enemies. One of them quickly flipped out a police ID to calm the nearby tourists who were still in shock, while the other five surrounded the snowdrifts. For Piercings, the situation had just become increasingly unfavorable for him.
He was only less than fifty meters away from the vehicle. In a moment like this, however, fifty meters was like a ravine hidden with an insurmountable threat.
Just when Piercings thought this was where he would meet his maker, the snowmobile quietly parked on the side of the road, suddenly started up its engine on its own, and rushed toward the snowdrift uncontrolled.
Piercings was overjoyed when he saw it. “Thanks!” he exclaimed under his breath.
Zhang Heng’s voice came from the headset, “Don’t thank me, but thank the magician if you really need to thank someone. He modified the snowmobile.”
The young man holding the TAC-50 was confused and puzzled when he saw the snowmobile with no one on it rus.h.i.+ng out from behind the snowdrift. To avoid being shot by the sniper, Piercings stayed on the other side of the snowmobile.
“This is so cunning, right? It’s not fair,” the young man scratched his head.
Vincent frowned, but he also knew that it was impossible getting the young man to land an accurate shot from this distance. In fact, he had done all he could to force the target into a dead-end. They did not expect that someone could remotely control the snowmobile. Seeing How Piercings was getting further and further away, Vincent finally made up his mind, “Tell the fourth group that they can attack as well. If they can’t catch the guy, they have to kill him.”
Just as Piercings got away, Leah and Adele also hopped onto the cable car and were now at the mountainside. They were initially supposed to get off here. Without warning, Leah gave Adele’s cheek a kiss and asked her to jump off the cable car first. “Sorry, I like sharing my secrets with you, but not this one. The more you know, the more dangerous it will be. If you are willing to trust me, go back by yourself after you have fun. Don’t worry about me,” she told Adele.
Leah buckled up her seatbelt again. She did not jump down from the cable car, determined to ascend to the peak of the mountain.
Vincent realized what was going on. He knew that when his cell phone signal was blocked, Piercings must have said something to Leah, but he did not understand why she trusted him just like that without hesitation. Based on what they know about Leah, she wasn’t the kind of person who trusted easily.
