682: Chapter 674: Super Gunner Works Fine 682: Chapter 674: Super Gunner Works Fine For Gao Yang, Ryan and dusa’s actions had already gone beyond his understanding of what a killer should be, so when Ryan said he needed a super assassin, Gao Yang did not quite grasp the aning.
Ivan obviously didn’t understand either and asked in a deep voice, “What do you an?”
Worried, Ryan spread out a floor plan of the Consulate General, pointed to it, and said loudly, “From what we’ve scouted, the defensive force within the Consulate General isn’t that strong; the main forces are concentrated in the yard outside.”
The main building of the Consulate General was an old-fashioned three-story building.
Although old, it was constructed entirely of large stones and was extrely sturdy.
The consulate occupied a large area, with a big lawn and lots of vegetation, looking pretty much like an old-fashioned garden courtyard.
With an idea of the main building’s structure in mind, Gao Yang knew that the room where Grand Ivan was held was on the second floor, at the very back.
Apart from the four guards who were close to Grand Ivan, there were no other ard personnel on that floor.
After letting everyone take a glance at the floor plan, Ryan said loudly, “There are four guards watching Grand Ivan.
If any of you can quickly take out the four guards without dying, then you can protect Grand Ivan.
After that, we can launch a strong attack from the outside.
If we are lucky and the people outside act fast enough, we should be able to rescue Grand Ivan alive.”
After pondering for a mont, Ivan shook his head and said, “It’s too difficult, basically impossible to achieve.”
Ryan shrugged, “Yes, it’s very difficult.
dusa can get into the Consulate General and let others in as well.
The only question is whether any of you can do what I said, take down the four guards and hold out until our guys get in.
That is the most important and sole prerequisite.
Without such a person, we can’t rescue Grand Ivan, at least not a living Grand Ivan.”
Gao Yang thought about it and said, “Four people, all ard.
Even if they are slow to react, they could definitely complete the action of drawing and shooting their guns within two seconds, and it’s very likely they will have their guns in hand, which would save them the action of drawing.”
Ryan nodded, “Exactly, which is why I need a super assassin, soone who can take out four people in an instant.
Otherwise, anyone who attempts this mission is walking to their death.”
Gao Yang said in a grave tone, “The security at the Consulate General is very well done; there is no way to bring guns inside.
I don’t think anyone could do it without a gun.”
Ryan smiled and said, “Right, it’s impossible to accomplish this mission empty-handed, so I can lower my standards.
I don’t need a super assassin, just a super marksman, soone who can complete four shots in two seconds and must hit lethal areas.
I have a way to get a gun inside.
The only problem is who will use it.”
As soon as he ntioned ‘super marksman’, everyone in the room almost simultaneously looked at Gao Yang.
After hesitating for a mont, Gao Yang finally said with less certainty, “I think, I might be able to.”
Ryan’s eyes lit up imdiately as he looked at Gao Yang in surprise and said, “I know you’re a marksman or a sniper, I know you’re incredibly good at long distances, but this is super close-range shooting.
Are you sure you can do it?”
Ivan and Uriyangko didn’t speak.
It wasn’t their place to say anything at this ti.
Li Jinfang wanted to say sothing but thought better of it and remained silent.
The reason was simple: if he said that Gao Yang’s close-range shooting was just as good as his long-range shooting, wouldn’t that an urging Gao Yang to undertake a mission that was almost suicidal?
Gao Yang did not answer Ryan’s question.
After carefully pondering for a mont, he asked in a deep voice, “What kind of gun is it?”
Ryan shrugged, “A pepperbox-style miniature revolver.
To be honest, it’s quite difficult to use.”
After thinking it over seriously, Gao Yang said, “I don’t know.
I need to see the gun to know.”
Ryan gestured with his head, and dusa imdiately went to the room where she had her box and brought out a gun.
The so-called pepperbox pistol was an old type of gun with multiple barrels assembled together to allow for successive firing.
The number of barrels determined how many shots it could fire.
It was a very old gun type and was quickly phased out after Colt invented the revolver.
In other words, this type of gun had been completely obsolete for at least a hundred years.
Gao Yang really couldn’t think of any reason to use a pepperbox pistol, but he soon found out.
dusa quickly produced an object that was as thick as an egg and about half the size of a palm, a cylindrical shape that was dark and obtuse.
When she held the cylindrical object and pulled it open, it turned into a gun about the length of a hand.
While this gun bore no resemblance to a modern firearm, looking like just a curved handle with a thick cylindrical object at the front.
“This gun has six barrels, which ans it can fire six bullets.
It doesn’t contain any tal and won’t be detected by tal detectors.
The key point is, it also won’t be discovered by X-ray screening.”
Gao Yang reached out to take the gun from dusa, but instead of giving it to him directly, she warned, “Be cautious using this gun.
It doesn’t have a safety, nor a trigger guard.
Once you open the folding grip, it is in a state where it can be fired at any ti; be careful of accidental discharge.”
After she finished speaking, dusa then handed the gun to Gao Yang.
He weighed it in his hand; it was very light, had no sight, and consisted of six thin barrels making up a cylinder about three centiters in diater.
Moreover, the grip was not ergonomically designed at all, rely a handle that could be held, and it was also short and uncomfortable to hold.
After a glance, Gao Yang frowned and said, “This looks like a toy.”
Ryan smiled and replied, “A lethal toy.
Only assassins use this.
Don’t underestimate this odd and ugly little contraption; it packs a serious punch.”
Gao Yang aid the pistol at an empty space, then turned to Ryan and said, “Explain this gun in detail to .”
“I’m not sure exactly what the gun is made of, it’s like clothing, or carbon fiber, or those at-like substances, perhaps.
It won’t be detected by X-rays or tal detectors.
There are no bullets.
The gunpowder and projectile are directly loaded into the barrel, or rather, the barrel is the bullet, if you think of it that way.
Obviously, it’s a single-use firearm; you can’t reload it.
The barrel is one and a half inches long, without rifling, so it’s a smoothbore gun.
The projectile is dart-like with a long shaft and fins to improve accuracy.
However, beyond five ters, the projectile loses all precision.
In addition, the material of the projectile is the sa as the gun’s body and is very light, which results in poor stopping power.
The good news is, despite the short barrel, it’s loaded with quite a bit of charge, giving it a lot of power.
Though the projectile is light, its penetration is very strong.
But as you know, with such a gun, the stopping power is inevitably poor.
In fact, you can say it’s quite bad.
You have to hit the lethal spots with extre precision, like the brainstem as the top priority, followed by the brain and heart.
If you can’t be sure if the target is wearing a bulletproof vest, then you’ve got to aim for the head.”
After Ryan finished explaining the gun, Gao Yang gave a wry smile and said, “So, you’re telling I have to use this tiny thing, which I can barely hold, to shoot four targets in two seconds, and I also need to ensure I hit the back of their heads, or at the very least, their brains, and hit the main parts directly, is that right?”
Ryan nodded and replied, “Exactly.
I admit, it’s hard, very hard, incredibly hard, which is why I need a super marksman.”
Ivan sighed and said, “It’s impossible, no one can do that.”
dusa said, “Actually, soone did manage to do it.
Soone used this kind of gun to kill four people in an assassination, but he took a bullet himself, just like that.”
Ryan smiled and said, “But that person was very familiar with this kind of gun; he practiced often.
However, we only have two of these guns.
Whoever is going to use them can only have at most six practice shots.”
Gao Yang hesitated; he truly didn’t know if he could do it.
At that mont, Jinfang shook his head towards him and whispered, “It’s impossible, Brother Yang.”
At this ti, Ivan’s bodyguard—an old acquaintance of Gao Yang’s—Samuel, who was too busy even to greet him, said in a heavy voice, “I’ll do it.”
Ryan asked, “Are you very good with handguns?”
Samuel nodded and said, “Very good, but still not good enough.
I have no confidence with this one at all.”
After a pause, Samuel hesitantly said, “Maybe, I could hit two people, possibly.”
Ryan laughed and said, “There are no rookies at the CIA.
It’s useless if you can hit three; as long as soone can shoot you, you’re done, and Grand Ivan is as good as dead.”
Ivan said with a stony expression, “Samuel, this won’t work.
Ryan, isn’t there any other weapon available?”
Ryan shook his head and replied, “A weapon with a high rate of fire, powerful impact, that can evade tal detectors, X-rays, and searches…
no, there’s just this one.”
Uriyangko said softly, “Can’t two people go in?
If you have two guns, it’d be best to send in two people.”
Ryan smiled slightly and said, “It’s not very likely.
The CIA is not so careless.
Of course, it’s not entirely impossible, but the chances of two people getting in are slim.”
Gao Yang looked at Lucica and said, “Do you still have your poison?”
Lucy looked quite distressed and shook her head, “I didn’t bring it, damn it, I should have.”
Gao Yang was sowhat disappointed.
If they had Lucica’s poison, they would have had another option for weaponry.
But since there was no poison, the pepperbox pistol was the only choice.
Gao Yang did not like this situation, not at all, because it seed like he was the only option.
