Chapter 288 - Im An Expert Marksman (1/2)
Snap! A thick, coarse shrub was torn apart by the bullet of a sniper rifle However, Xia Lei had already rounded the shrub and gone to higher ground in the second before the bullet hit the shrub
“Is that guy huround - how’s that possible?” The sniper on the opposite hill couldn’t help wiping the cold sweat from his brow He watched nervously as Xia Lei leapt up and all around the surface of the hillside He could see hihts on him The distance and time needed for the bullet to travel meant that he would need about 15 to 2 seconds to make the shot and Xia Lei would’ve run at least tenat in that amount of time
At that moment, Xia Lei suddenly disappeared from his field of vision and he couldn’t find hiuy… ran away?” The sniper lurking in his high spot presu for traces of Xia Lei He didn’t dare to look for other targets either because he was afraid that he hiet once he switched to another target!
The sniper gave up after staying frozen in place for aspot to head to another place
The battle at the foot of the hill had grown fiercer Who kne many bullets both sides had fired, and how many clips were eents and the teae, to advance or make the other side retreat Both sides were in a deeply worrying situation
This was not strange since even the Aest in the world, probably needed 250,000 bullets to kill off one Islamic militant These were real numbers too
On the hill, Xia Lei had climbed to a pile of rubble His left eye was fixed on the hill opposite and though that sniper earing caround, he looked like he was a person holding a torchlight in the dark to Xia Lei He couldn’t be more obvious
Xia Lei pushed the barrel of the sniper rifle out froap between two rocks and aier
Bang! A gunshot sounded and the bullet was propelled from the barrel It hit that sniper in the back after 15 seconds The sniper earing a bullet-proof vest, of course, but the vest was unable to stop the impact of the sniper bullet Besides, Xia Lei’s sniper rifle had undergone specialdistance or power!
A big chunk of flesh was torn fros were destroyed by the i
Xia Lei let out a breath of relief after confir that that sniper was dead He spoke into the communicator, “The ene and I’ll clean the Yu-Yan’s voice was full of exciteed ! Another caed man who had just stuck his head out from behind a rock had his brains splattered all over in one shot…
After killing their RPG operator and their sniper, Xia Lei could search for targets without worries and kill thee so there was no worry at all about bullets reaching hier after a few ave up on their advance They retreated to the other side of the hill, all rather worse for wear Xia Lei did not cease fire He killed off more of theed men who had attacked, less than fifteen left the battlefield with their lives!
Xia Lei did not feel the disgust of having killed a hu said appeared to be true; killing people was a terrible thing but it was nothing once one got used to it The two killers he’d killed and the people he had sniped today pushed Xia Lei’s kill count up into the double digits
Not feeling the disgust did not ood and after the battle was done, the desire to kill gone and his taut nerves relaxed, Xia Lei’s ain a blank - scarily blank
“It’s over, Xia Lei Co Yu-Yan’s voice came from over the receiver
Xia Lei caeed the sniper rifle as he o in the heat of battle and his nerves had been so taut he’d felt like he andering outside the de
‘I’d probably have to tread much more on a path like this if I want to be the sa Yu-Yan, haven’t I?’ A bitter smile appeared in the corners of Xia Lei’sup the battlefield at the foot of the hill Three agents had been killed but this was not the worst of it The worst thing was that their guide Karaed men had 17 casualties, 12 of which had been killed by Xia Lei This one battle had changed the Bureau 101 agents’ perspective of this gentleht that Xia Lei was a purely technical consultant, like a hacker or linguist, but they had not expected hi sniper!
The Bureau 101 agents searched the bodies of the ene that could identify them However, the items they found provided soround There were chewing gust these photographs were one with New York’s Central Park in the background, and there was also one with the caraphs were of two couples and they looked intiround “Chewing guazines What do you think their identities are?”
“Don’t these photographs tell us e need? You should know better than I where these people are fro Yu-Yan kneell that these were all Americans but she just did not say it She had already reached the preliminary conclusion that these were American Special Forces, not CIA It was not likely that the CIA would gather so ents for a mission so these Special Forces soldiers should have just one or two CIA agents directing the Yu-Yan spoke after a bit of silence “Lei, say… aren’t these people after you?”
Xia Lei’s expression changed, just slightly, and he shook his head “YouBing? Possibly But I’ the reason Didn’t you say that the previous team failed their ht have been the ones who did it”
He said those words but Xia Lei thought of the woum at him, and the note his father had written He was actually leaning towards the theory that these people had been targeting hiain We need to catch one alive next ti Yu-Yan
