"Brothers, check your weapons, prepare for battle," Luo Zheng decisively commanded, checking his own weapon as he lurked behind the sand dunes, his rifle aid at the increasingly close cal caravan, his eyes firm and murderous. As the caravan drew nearer, his expression grew solemn. The caravan was not only carrying ammunition but also mortars and launchers, likely stored in wooden boxes. Once the enemy reacted, disaster would be upon them all.
"We need to deal with the mortars first," Luo Zheng thought and decisively set down his SVD sniper rifle, taking an M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle from his back that he hadn't used yet. He whispered, "Brother, it's your ti to shine, let's fight together."
The M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle seed to sing cheerfully. Luo Zheng checked his weapon, loaded the bullets, and began searching quickly. Through the 10x scope, the distance to the enemy suddenly shortened, about a kiloter away, visibility was clear, and the gentle breeze made for minimal sniping interference. Luo Zheng was very confident.
Seeing Luo Zheng switch weapons, Lan Xue instantly understood and also quickly switched to the M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle, whispering through the headset, "Mountain Eagle, change your weapon, use incendiary rounds; Ghost, you use explosive rounds to target the enemy's ammunition. I'll handle the enemy's communicator. This situation must not leak."
"Okay!" Luo Zheng, seeing that Lan Xue shared his thoughts, agreed. Seeing that Mountain Eagle was also ready, he quickly searched through the scope for the mortar's ammunition boxes, scrutinizing each one and soon spotted three robust cals in the middle of the caravan, each carrying suspiciously large and long ammo boxes.
Luo Zheng focused and cald himself, his scope tightly locking onto one of the boxes. He calculated the shooting angle based on the cal's speed and movent dynamics, and after preparing to shoot, he asked softly, "Ready, should I fire?"
"This attack is led by you, you make the call," Lan Xue whispered.
"Shoo!" Luo Zheng, channeling his full expectations into the bullet, pulled the trigger without hesitation. The bullet whistled out, singing joyfully, it drew a beautiful energy wave, buzzing as it flew, and burst into the target instantly.
"Boom!" A thunderous explosion erupted as the explosive round detonated the mortar's ammunition. One ammo box contained several mortar rounds, all exploding simultaneously, with astonishing power. The resulting shockwave tore several nearby cals to pieces, and the cal drivers, engulfed in red light, couldn't even scream before being torn apart by a rain of blood, their bodies shattered.
"Boom!" Another huge explosion sounded as the rounds on another cal also detonated, sending a storm of fragnts sweeping out, laughing with a deadly, grim delight, unleashing another bloody, violent storm.
"Hiss?" Luo Zheng hadn't expected the shot to be so effective; it was a lucky hit that also yielded unexpected benefits, elevating his understanding of sniping to a whole new level.
"Shoo shoo!" Sniper shots rang out near his ear—Lan Xue and Mountain Eagle had also taken action.
In the sniper scope, Luo Zheng saw a man get hit and instantly catch fire. The man scread in terror and ran, sparks flying around him, catching others who also burst into flas and scread tragically. Soone, without hesitation, shot the burning comrades, granting them a swift release.
At this mont, the entire caravan fell into chaos. The survivors quickly gathered the cals, forming a circle, with people hiding in the middle. Seeing this, Luo Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Forming a circle could prevent a charge but was practically inviting death against snipers.
Watching the chaotic caravan, with limbs and flesh scattered all over and the desert stained with blood, Luo Zheng remained unfazed. On the battlefield, it was either the enemy dies or I die. Showing rcy to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. He quickly switched to incendiary rounds, refocused, aid at his target, his cool gaze full of murderous intent, and decisively pulled the trigger again.
"Swoosh!" The incendiary bomb whistled through the air, its buzzing explosion carrying a terrifying potency that instantly engulfed a cal within the caravan, igniting it in flas.
The cal scread in agony, struggling to rise as the aluminum thermite from the incendiary bomb reached temperatures over 3000 Celsius. The air around seed to burn, and the already hot desert beca unbearable. People scattered to avoid the intense heat, clearing space for the cal, which in its dying monts unleashed a horrific surge of energy, ramming into anything it could, imdiately knocking several people off their feet.
The flammable agent splattered from the collapsing cal, setting others ablaze, their screams of pain piercing through the chaos. In that mont, Mountain Eagle and Lan Xue fired again, both using incendiary bombs, igniting two more cals.
"Boom!" A thunderous explosion erupted suddenly, shocking Luo Zheng as he watched from afar—the enveloped cal caravan was completely swallowed by a massive fiery blast, with billowing smoke and sand flying everywhere, stunning everyone. Quickly, Luo Zheng realized it was the ammunition that had detonated.
"Hahaha, excellent," Snow Leopard exclaid, thrilled by the spectacle.
"Perfect, they're done for," Ghost Hand cheered spiritedly.
Neither of them was a sniper, but they both knew the signs of an ammunition explosion. They hadn't expected such luck—after the explosion, there were no survivors left in the caravan, and no clues about the ambush remained. It was a perfect ambush indeed.
Luo Zheng didn't think it was just luck; these people were simply foolish. Knowing there was a sniper, yet they clustered together—it was practically a death wish. But then he considered that those responsible for the transport were likely just ordinary folks, unlikely to partake in such hard labor if they had status or power. Such foolish actions seed reasonable under the circumstances.
"Everyone, prepare to evacuate," Lan Xue said in a low voice, reminding everyone to calm down.
As everyone gathered their equipnt to leave, Luo Zheng suddenly felt sothing was off. On closer examination, he couldn't pinpoint the source of his unease, and, puzzled, he raised his sniper scope to scan the surroundings. The desert sands were swirling in the wind, stronger than before, lifting clouds of dust, but nothing else seed amiss.
"What's wrong?" Lan Xue asked, surprised, while the others also looked on curiously.
"Sothing feels off," Luo Zheng murmured, his expression solemn as he continued to survey the area.
"Hey, what's that?" Mountain Eagle suddenly exclaid.
Everyone was startled and followed Mountain Eagle's pointing finger upwards, only to spot a bird-like object hovering in the sky. Their faces turned pale—how could there be a bird circling in the deserted desert? They all raised their sniper scopes to look and realized it was the hummingbird drone they had seen before.
"Surveillance drone," Luo Zheng's face turned pale as he recalled the Sam Country's hummingbird drone.
