Chapter 844 - The hunter and the hunted (1/2)

The bloody mist that erupted from the barbarian’s head was still lingering in the air. However, this shot did not seem to have frightened off the remaining barbarians.

There were still another three barbarians who had laid in ambush in the river. Holding the large axes in their hands, they were like ghosts of the river.

When the chow squad came to the river to fetch water, they did not even bring along their most basic of weapons. To be honest, they really did not expect enemies to be hiding here.

A barbarian shouted, “Don’t retreat! We can’t escape anymore since there’s snipers here. Kill as many as you can!”

Behind them was the river. Even if they jumped back in, it would take some time. So the barbarians knew very well that they would definitely die here. But before dying, they wanted to drag a few of their enemies down with them.

The remaining three barbarians continued chasing after the chow squad with their axes. They moved extremely fast, but before they could even take a couple steps, two more sniper bullets flew over and pierced their chests.

The chow squad was so frightened they wanted to throw away their water buckets. However, they realized that only one of the four barbarians who had just emerged from the river was left in the blink of an eye.

While they were still in a state of shock, the platoon commander of the chow squad said ruthlessly, “Don’t fucking scare yourselves. There’s only one barbarian left. If even he can scare us, it’ll be too embarrassing when we get back to the camp. Let’s attack together and kill him!”

The morale of the chow squad was lifted. Although they had never fought in battle before, they were still soldiers who had undergone proper military training.

With these words spoken, the soldiers no longer retreated. Instead, they slowly approached the remaining barbarian. In just five seconds, they had formed a battle formation.

That barbarian stared coldly at everyone and sneered with his axe in hand. A second later, he suddenly charged forward.

The platoon commander of the chow squad roared and burst forward. “Kill him!”

However, the snipers did not intend to give them a chance to show their worth. The three explosive gunshots that sounded out in the distance did not stop and continued ringing in their ears. In the end, blood spurted out from the remaining barbarian’s chest again. His fur coat blew up like a ragdoll.

The battle ended as quickly as it started. The group of soldiers from the chow squad stood there in a daze. It ended just like that?

The platoon commander said to a soldier, “Hurry, report back to the commander. Tell him that we encountered an ambush by the barbarians here!”

With that, two chow squad soldiers sprinted back towards the military camp. Within ten minutes, they brought P5092 and his troops to the riverside.

A group of soldiers surrounded P5092 with riot shields in their hands. They were afraid the snipers hiding somewhere would be up to no good.

However, P5092 waved it off. “Get out of the way. You guys are shielding me so well that I can’t see anything.”

His adjutant said anxiously, “Sir, your body can’t withstand a sniper’s shot either.”

P5092 pushed aside the soldiers around him and said with a laugh, “Don’t worry, those two snipers are not our enemies. There’s no need to be so scared.”

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu saw P5092 crouching next to the barbarian corpses through his spotting scope in the distance. He muttered, “Isn’t that P5092? He doesn’t seem to be afraid that there’s snipers around. He’s really quite bold.”
