Chapter 521: 521
In the room .
“Hello? Why are you quiet?” Gu Kewen held on to the satellite phone and her face filled with wariness .
A sneer appeared in the corners of Xia Lei’s mouth . His put right index finger on the trigger on the trigger, and squeezed it .
At the exact instant of combustion, the mixed-blood woman next to Gu Kewen dived, pulling Gu Kewen to the ground with her .
Ping! A bullet went through the tile of the room’s roof and struck the spot where Gu Kewen had stood . The wooden floor splintered, sending fragments up . If the woman had been half a second slower, Gu Kewen’s head would have been torn open by this bullet!
Xia Lei was stunned too, in that instant . This woman… Whether it was experience or capability, she was miles better than that so-called king of killers named Hyena!
This woman was more powerful than the king of killers . Who was she?
Xia Lei still couldn’t figure out this woman’s identity but he was not slow to react either . He had fired for the second time when the mixed-blood woman pulled Gu Kewen to roll across the floor .
Ping! Another tile on the roof was shattered .
The second shot hit Gu Kewen in the back!
No one had ever escaped his sniping once his left eye had locked on! Besides, there was just 70 to 80 metres between him and the two women . He could even use a handgun like a sniper rifle at this distance!
“He’s behind the hotel . Two ‘o clock! 80 metres out!” yelled the mixed-blood woman at the walkie-talkie which had dropped to the floor .
Xia Lei could not hear her, but he knew what angry shouting meant .
Sure enough, a light shone from the snowy top of another hill at his ten o’clock before he could fire a third time . Out of a combination of pure instinct and experience, Xia Lei threw himself to the snow behind the rock as soon as he caught that light out of the corner of his eye .
Pew! There was a dull sound as a sniper rifle bullet hit the stone before him .
The rock shook and sparks flew . Small shards of rock flew past his head, and a piece ricocheted and hit him in the neck . Warm blood came from the wound . Fortunately, the piece had not hit hard, and it had just scratched his skin without cutting any major blood vessels .
Pew! There was another dull sound, and several cracks suddenly appeared in the rock in front of him!
His enemy was using something powerful, something like an armour-piercing bullet!
This sniping spot was compromised . Xia Lei hugged his XL2500 and rolled, heading for the other side .
Snow plumed on the snow-blanketed ground .
This was the enemy’s third shot . This guy’s gunmanship seemed to be on par with Hyena’s!
Xia Lei, however, did not give him the chance to shoot for a fourth time . He had rolled out of his enemy’s sights . The enemy has fired thrice, and Xia Lei had calculated his position . However, the hill and thick forest made it difficult for the enemy to aim at him, and he could not fire .
Long Bing’s voice came from over the communications device . “Are you okay? Talk!”
“I’m fine . ” Xia Lei lowered his voice . “Stay low . The enemy has a sniper . He’s on the left of my old position, ten o’ clock from the hotel . ”
“Leave that hill as soon as you can . I saw many gunmen going to your location . ” Long Bing’s voice was filled with worry .
Xia Lei had seen it already . It wasn’t just the thugs in Gu Kewen’s employ – there were even gunmen he had not spotted before . Some were white, some were black, and they came out of buildings under construction, holding guns and converging on his location . These gunmen seemed well-versed in fighting, and could even be more powerful than American Special Forces soldiers!
Who the hell were these people?
This question nagged at Xia Lei, but he knew that this was not the time to ponder it . He raised the XL2500 sniper rifle and dashed out of the forest, running towards the ten o’clock position on the left .
The enemy sniper was a target he had to eliminate!
There were no roads in the forest and thick snow covered the ground . It would’ve been very difficult for a person to walk about on this ground under normal circumstances, but Xia Lei was practically flying over the ground . He was quick, and his movements nimble, like he was a wolf which inhabited this forest . This was his domain!
Darkness, snow and thick forest . None of these could stop Xia Lei’s charge . Kill or be killed . He was putting all his efforts into living, and his body like like a well-oiled battle machine!
Three minutes later, Xia Lei moved through the forest and appeared on the dividing line of the hill . He hid behind a patch of snow-covered shrub, and used his X-ray vision to see through the shrub and observe his surroundings . His current position allowed him to keep an eye on what was happening on the left of the hill .
The hill on the left was quiet . There was snow, trees, and brown rocks . In the darkness filled with dancing snow, not even a squirrel could be seen, much less a man . However, Xia Lei was sure that there was someone hidden somewhere . He had this assumption because he was sure that the enemy did not have anyone who could run over snow 30 centimetres deep and great speed . Not everyone could learn Tang Qinggong from Tang Yuyan .
Bang bang bang…
