Snow Bear was cunning, not rescuing his injured comrade but instead suddenly vanishing amidst the vast mountains. Secretly, he launched a detour attack from beneath the snow. Such tactics were extrely clever. An ordinary person would think the enemy had fled after waiting a while without seeing anyone and would step out of cover, becoming an easy target.
But Luo Zheng knew the prowess of this group and asked everyone to patiently wait for about half an hour. They finally spotted the enemy. At that mont, Luo Zheng revealed a hunter's smile and whispered through his headset, "Target spotted, there must be enemies ambushing ahead of you, too. Don't act recklessly, nor fire upon spotting them. Let's play this ga slowly with these bastards. Whoever panics first, dies."
Everyone understood the implications of Luo Zheng's words. Firing ant exposure, which would lead to an attack. Without an escape route, firing rashly was akin to suicide. Such an action was not an option, and they must move as one. They quietly agreed and continued to wait for the right mont.
After locking onto the target's location, Luo Zheng didn't imdiately open fire but continued to wait patiently. The target was in the snow, and it was impossible to ascertain their exact position. He had only one chance to shoot and absolutely could not waste it. After a while, Luo Zheng noticed a depression forming in the snow again, followed by a slowly rising helt.
"Bastard, finally showing up," Luo Zheng muttered coldly, his face tight with a cold smirk. His eyes grew even icier as he quickly aid at the helt, but he didn't fire imdiately. He had already waited so long; Luo Zheng didn't mind waiting a bit longer.
Soon, Luo Zheng noticed the helt disappear. He shifted his body slightly and waved his hand to relax a bit, continuing to watch ahead. The helt reappeared shortly after, and soon, a face also appeared in the sniper scope. Luo Zheng checked the sniping conditions—633 ters away, with a wind speed of two levels and snow glare reducing visibility, which could easily lead to illusions. Luo Zheng didn't shoot but continued to wait.
Perhaps sensing no danger, the person slowly erged from beneath the ground and started crawling forward, their body covered in white camouflage looking just like a pile of snow. Their crawling speed wasn't fast. Without careful attention, one wouldn't notice them. Seeing this, Luo Zheng sneered swiftly, aid at the person's head, thought for a mont, and shifted the rifle slightly to target the shoulder instead.
The target continued to crawl forward, speeding up slightly. Luo Zheng's trigger finger slowly squeezed the trigger, focusing his mind, adjusting his breathing, and entering a sniping state. His chilling gaze suddenly exploded, bursting forth a terrifying streak of brilliance. Luo Zheng took his shot.
"Swoosh!" A bullet casings ejected from the sniper rifle with a crisp sound. The sniper bullet carried Luo Zheng's full intent to kill as it burst from the barrel, spinning at high speed, tearing through the air barrier, leaving a terrifying trail of energy in the void, and the whizzing sonic boom was overwhelming.
"Pfft!" The sniper bullet ferociously burrowed into the target's shoulder, tearing through the scapula. The bullet's impact was impeded and began to spin erratically, completely pulverizing the muscle beneath the scapula. The bullet entered the body cavity, continued to rotate, turning the internal organs into mush, and then ca to a stop, embedded within the target. The target cried out in agony and then fell silent, eyes wide open, fingers pointing towards Luo Zheng's concealed location, dying with eyes wide open.
Luo Zheng was full of confidence in his shot, not even needing to check the results. Right after firing, he hurriedly dashed out of cover, not even taking his backpack, clutching his sniper rifle and sprinting to the side. While running, Luo Zheng heard the sound of a sniper rifle; his heart tightened, and with a forceful push of his feet, he dove forward, landing on the ground. Using his hands and feet, he arched his body forward, bounding forward a few ters, and hid behind a rock.
This position was pre-calculated by Luo Zheng. Firing ant exposure, and exposure necessitated cover. While digging the snow cave earlier, Luo Zheng had considered this issue and thus placed the snow cave not far from a rock.
"Swoosh!" Another shot rang out, and the bullet struck the boulder, creating a clashing noise.
Behind the boulder, Luo Zheng took a long breath, curled up into a ball, and did not imdiately counterattack. Since he was exposed, he believed the enemy was watching him, waiting for him to stick his head out and seal his fate. Hearing Lan Xue's concerned voice, Luo Zheng adjusted his breathing and whispered, "Took out one, the enemy totals ten. Just now, an explosion killed one, Brother Mountain Eagle injured another, three incapacitated, seven remain—everyone be careful."
Luo Zheng did not know that earlier an enemy in the snow cave had been blown away. Suddenly, Mountain Eagle said, "Target spotted. Should I shoot?"
"Is there an escape route?" Luo Zheng whispered.
"Don't worry, if not three burrows, one is still manageable," Mountain Eagle calmly whispered back. As an elite sniper, Mountain Eagle naturally had considered what to do after firing when concealing in advance.
"Take the shot when you have the chance. You'll only get one shot. Retreat imdiately after firing, disregard the outco. These guys are formidable, any hesitation could cost us the initiative. Stay hidden and don't move recklessly," Luo Zheng instructed in a low voice.
"Understood," Mountain Eagle replied.
Luo Zheng waited for a while but did not hear Mountain Eagle fire; guessing the opportunity had passed, he thought for a mont and then whispered, "Ghost Hand, Snow Leopard, spread out and observe, look for an opportunity to kick these bastards' asses."
"Understood," Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard, already impatient, excitedly agreed upon hearing Mountain Eagle's order, and started moving out from their cover, crawling up from under the slope and watching the front vigilantly for targets.
The icy snowfield once again fell silent, as if nothing had happened around. In the air, snowflakes drifted down, slowly landing on a corpse. The snow around the corpse had been stained red, and the sunlight shining on it reflected a sinister red glow, which was shocking.
Luo Zheng stayed behind the boulder, motionless. The enemy was too strong, and without the chance of a surprise attack, rashly going out ant certain death. He continued to play a waiting ga with the enemy. Having already taken down three, it was now the enemy who should be anxious. Suddenly, he heard Lan Xue's voice, "Target spotted, ready to shoot, don't worry, I have a backup cover."
"Be careful," Luo Zheng, reassured by Lan Xue's words, felt relieved.
"Damn, they pulled back again, sa slope, two of them," Lan Xue whispered angrily.
Luo Zheng chuckled, "Do they not have the right to hide? Let's keep wearing them out. These people won't pull back until they defeat us. We've finally gained the upper hand. If we retreat now, we'd face endless pursuit. Only two sniper positions have been exposed, and we have a total of five people. They won't launch a full attack without figuring out the positions of the other three. Let's gradually wear them down." As he spoke, a confident smile appeared on his cold face.
