Gao Yang and Alexander erged simultaneously, but no one fired, as Specter refused to follow their rhythm.
Both Gao Yang and Alexander were highly confident marksn. They believed that even if Specter targeted them, they had the ability to retaliate and eliminate Specter before being hit. Although such confidence seed unreasonable against Specter, losing it entirely would an being comprehensively defeated by Specter and living perpetually in his shadow.
This once-in-a-lifeti opportunity couldn’t be ruined by a single sniper. The area one person could control was ultimately limited, and Gao Yang and Alexander had both left their cover, raising their guns to search for Specter’s position.
If Specter didn’t fire at either Alexander or Gao Yang, he had relinquished the initiative.
Popping out suddenly, completing a search for Specter before firing, and waiting in ambush for Specter to show himself before shooting were not the sa in difficulty, so Gao Yang had no intention of retreating back to cover.
"We’ve suppressed Specter; now’s the ti. Attack Iron Madonna imdiately, free attack."
Glolov set up the machine gun and fired bursts at Iron Madonna’s main force. Although the distance was far, his shooting could definitely affect Iron Madonna’s movent.
The people who had shed their protective gear imdiately leapt out of the riverbed, beginning to pursue Iron Madonna. Gao Yang and Alexander, however, remained perfectly still, waiting for Specter to appear.
"Toad, Tyrannosaurus, you go support; leave this to us."
Li Jinfang and Eileen imdiately began repositioning. They couldn’t let everyone be stalled by Specter. Having finally suppressed Specter, Gao Yang naturally hoped to commit most of his forces to the battle against Iron Madonna’s main force.
The battle was intense, but Gao Yang had no ti for even a mont’s observation.
He put the night vision device back on, and with the thermal imaging scope, Gao Yang thought he should have long since discovered Specter, but hadn’t. Neither he nor Alexander found any trace of Specter.
"I believe Specter may have already left."
Alexander spoke softly. After a mont of thought, Gao Yang murmured, "If he moved, we should be able to find him."
"Not necessarily. We don’t know the terrain ahead. What if there are convenient hiding places and covers for movent, like an irrigation ditch?"
The troubles with nightti combat lay right here: with the distance and going beyond the range of the night vision device, observing the terrain beca inconvenient.
Gao Yang sighed and said, "Yes, you’re right. It seems we have to move on our own."
"We’ll cover each other as we advance; if Specter’s still watching us, he’ll respond."
"Understood, you cover first."
After speaking, Gao Yang tucked his gun away, imdiately bent over, and charged forward, but he had barely covered five ters when Alexander suddenly fired a shot, prompting Gao Yang to instantly halt and raise his weapon.
"Teddy’s hit!"
A voice ca through the radio with frustrated exasperation. Soone pursuing Iron Madonna had been hit again, and just then, Alexander exclaid in extre irritation, "F**k! F**k!"
Normally calm, Alexander couldn’t maintain his composure. He didn’t use the radio but instead shouted directly to Gao Yang, "Specter has shifted position, but he’s continuously watching us. As soon as we move, he fires imdiately, though not at us! He’s still obstructing our pursuit! Eleven o’clock position! Distance is five hundred ters, with cover—I think it’s sothing like a canal."
Gao Yang promptly aid in the direction Alexander had indicated, and after a montary search, a figure suddenly erged from the ground, fired quickly, and imdiately ducked back down.
"Big Dog’s been hit!"
A shiver ran through Gao Yang’s heart, but Glolov then quickly reassured him.
"I’m fine, the bullet hit the edge of my helt!"
"Cease attack!"
Gao Yang hoarsely ordered the cessation of the attack. With Specter unsolved, they couldn’t continue, because although Gao Yang yearned to thoroughly eliminate Iron Madonna, he absolutely couldn’t accept losing anyone else to them. Specter, given the chance to fire, would definitely cause casualties—he absolutely had that capability. This ti, Glolov was fortunate; next ti, but Glolov couldn’t always be so lucky.
Gao Yang had seen Specter, yet he hadn’t fired, for they were too far apart, and Specter was too fast. In Specter’s swift maneuvers, by the ti the bullet reached him, he would already be concealed again.
Unless Gao Yang had a laser gun, or he could defy the laws of physics so his bullets were unaffected by space and ti; otherwise, at this distance, he couldn’t kill Specter.
Specter was far from Gao Yang but close to the pursuing team, practically blocking their direct path.
Alexander muttered, "Ram, you’re the best marksman I’ve seen, but Specter is the best sniper I’ve encountered. He has achieved everything a sniper can, and even the impossible for a sniper, he has accomplished."
Gao Yang’s resolve wavered slightly, but he violently shook his head to dispel his internal thoughts, then resolutely declared, "Specter will die by our hands; victory will surely belong to us. Continue closing in on Specter. When he can no longer dodge our bullets, that’ll be his end. Besides, how do you know that’s Specter?"
"His ghostlike speed and movents, maintaining an extraordinarily high command rate even while rapidly maneuvering. Do you think Iron Madonna could have two snipers of Specter’s level? Don’t kid yourself; there are barely a few such people worldwide."
Specter’s intent is simple: to impede Satan and Aurora’s pursuit. Thus, as long as Gao Yang’s group doesn’t move, Specter vanishes instantly, never firing extra shots just to cause harm.
"Let’s continue, keep closing in on Specter."
"Alright, you cover, I advance."
The two took turns advancing another few dozen ters, but this short distance felt imnsely taxing. Gao Yang felt more exhausted than after running several kiloters, mainly due to ntal fatigue. When all attention and energy are focused on preventing a sudden strike from Specter, the ntal toll is imnse.
"Tank, that’s one of our tanks, right?"
Gao Yang dared only to glance quickly, then imdiately affird, "By the direction, yes, it’s our tank."
With a slightly wry smile, Alexander remarked, "Will we ultimately have to rely on tanks to solve this? Honestly, it’s a blow to my pride. Specter is truly formidable—the best sniper hands down."
