Chapter 0708 - Mysterious Coward

"It's also a battlefield. The old man sneered, "None of your people will survive." ”

"How many of you are on the other side of the mountain?"

"Six. The old man didn't hide it.

Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly said in his heart: "It turned out that there were only six, so I won't worry." ”

Although the strength of the Knights Hospitaller is not known, if there are only six killers, it is impossible to be the opponent of the Zodiac team.

The old man raised his hand tremblingly, "Put it...... Letter to me. ”

"You haven't answered my question yet. Charley said, "Why are you ambushing here, and what do you want from me?"

"God's metal. The old man looked at Xia Lei's backpack, his eyes flashing with excitement, "You got it, right?"

Xia Lei shook his head, "I didn't get any god metal, I'm an atheist, I don't believe in any ghosts and gods in this world." ”

"People without faith are pitiful, and you cannot be saved. The old man didn't seem to believe Xia Lei's words, and he still looked at Xia Lei's backpack. But he didn't have the see-through eyes of Xia Lei, otherwise he would have seen the piece of metal lying in Xia Lei's backpack.

"Why do you want it? Does it matter? Does it have any special significance?"

"I don't know. ”

Xia Lei looked at the old man coldly.

"I don't know, even if you kill me, I don't know. The old man was not afraid.

"Well, tell me, why ambush here?" said Charleigh.

The old man gasped, "We're just in charge of cutting off your retreat. ”

Xia Lei suddenly understood. There were six people on the other side of the hill, and here there are only three. The Knights Hospitaller didn't know the way out of the labyrinth, otherwise they would have been in the labyrinth. Although they don't know the way out of the labyrinth, they have a certain understanding of the labyrinth, so they will set up an ambush here.

"Is there anyone else besides the nine of you?" asked Xia Lei again.

"No, cough, cough, cough......" The old man coughed violently, and his breathing became short, but he still tried to raise his hand, "Come, give me the letter." ”

"I'm a man of words. Charley put the letter in the old man's hand.

The old man had a smile on his face, and he tried to open the envelope, but as soon as he opened it, his hand fell. Then he opened his mouth wide to breathe, but from his mouth there was only breath out of his mouth, not breath in and in.

"Uh, I'm sorry for delaying you. Xia Lei said apologetically.

There was a soft "cluck" sound in the old man's throat, and then he lost his breath.

Glancing at the letters left by his ancestors, it was his last wish, but Xia Lei was not obligated to fulfill his wish.

Jingle bells, jingle bells......

When I walked out of the church hall door, the bell rang.

"It's me, are you all right?" Xia Lei answered.

"Do you know what's going on?" said Yelena's voice, surprised.

"I've just finished fighting. ”

Yelena was silent for a moment before she said, "We also just went through a battle, and Arecio was wounded, but not fatally. Elena's voice.

"It's okay. Xia Lei breathed a sigh of relief, and then he remembered something, "How many people did you kill?"

"Five. Yelena said.

Xia Lei frowned, "I killed three, I left one alive, he said there are six people on your side." ”

"This can't be! If there is, then he must not have participated in the battle, otherwise he would not have escaped. Yelena said.

This possibility is not impossible. Each member of the Zodiac Squad is equipped with an XL2500 sniper rifle and a Hurricane assault rifle, which is powerful and has a long range. If there is a firefight, with the strength of the Zodiac team, will they let one of the enemies escape? If this happens, it's really likely that Yelena said it would, unless that person didn't participate in the fight from the beginning and has been hiding.

Xia Lei's heart moved, and he said secretly: "The person who escaped, is he an important figure in the Knights Hospitaller?"

"Boss, where are you now?" said Elena's voice.

"I'm on the other side of the mountain. Leave me alone, get out of there at once. Go to safety, and I'll be over to meet you soon. Xia Lei said.

"Roger, be careful. Yelena hung up the phone.

After finishing the call with Yelena, Charley returned to the church. He took the sniper rifle in his hand.

The other party ran away, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not escape from the valley. If they meet, with a sniper rifle in hand, he has nothing to worry about.

As he walked out of the church hall again, Charley glanced back. The bodies of the three old men lay silently on the ground, blood spilling silently from their bodies, staining the ground red with dust. Jesus on the cross still looked at him with the same eyes full of compassion.

Charley hesitated for a moment, but finally drew a cross on his chest like a Christian, and then said, "I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, I was forced." ”

If Jesus had moved, he might have jumped down from the cross and kicked the yellow-skinned boy in the face.

Leaving the church, a dirt road leads in the direction of the valley valley mouth. The road was full of wagon-ridden grooves of varying shades. Both sides of the road were originally cultivated land, but after being deserted, they have become a paradise for weeds. All kinds of weeds grow in the soil, a large patch, like a wheat field in spring.

"Such a nice place, I don't know why it was abandoned. Xia Lei felt a little strange in his heart.

He walked along the dirt road in the direction of Taniguchi. He's not fast. While walking, his left eye remained farsighted, searching a radius of more than 4,000 meters. His left eye is like a spy satellite, and no movement escapes his detection.

It was quiet all the way, and there was no unusual movement.

Half an hour later, Charlei approached the mouth of the valley.

The mouth of the valley is like the mouth of a bottle, and the slopes on both sides are densely wooded. Even with his left eye, Xia Lei couldn't see through all the trees.

Twittering......

A flock of birds suddenly flew up from the mountain forest on the right.

Without seeing the target, Xia Lei's nerves suddenly tensed. The next second, he suddenly collapsed into the grass.

The weeds obscured his body, but they also blocked his view. It was a very passive situation, but he didn't have a choice. He was in a low terrain, and the other party could easily see him, but it was difficult for him to see the other party. If the opponent has a sniper rifle, it is dangerous to be exposed to the opponent's field of vision.

The frightened birds flew away in the blink of an eye, and the silence of the mountains and forests returned. There was no movement for several minutes.

"Is it just a flock of birds that suddenly flew up? am I too nervous?" Xia Lei thought to himself.

Although he thought so in his heart, Xia Lei still didn't dare to get up rashly. Usually people can make mistakes of one kind or another, but here they can be killed if they make just one mistake. Make a mistake here, and you won't have a chance to make a mistake in the future.

After a few minutes, Xia Lei slowly crawled forward.

There was still no movement in the mountains and forests.

But at this moment, a flock of birds suddenly flew out of the mountain forest on the left. The sound of birds echoing at the mouth of the valley.

Xia Lei adjusted his posture and faced the forest on his left, and then cautiously slanted up from the grass. Instead of sticking his head out of the grass, he used his perspective to "filter" out the grass that obscured his vision.

After about a few minutes, a tall old blond man ran out of the forest. He looked embarrassed, running towards the wasteland and looking back, as if he was afraid that someone would catch up with him. The old man carried a sniper rifle in his hand.

Xia Lei's left eye was locked on the sniper rifle, and information about the gun came to his mind. It was an L115A3 sniper rifle. This sniper rifle, also known as the "Super Sniper Rifle", is a new sniper rifle produced by the British Precision International Company. With a range of up to 1,600 meters, it is a powerful tool for sniping jungle and urban targets. Because it can easily penetrate tree trunks and walls, shooting targets hidden behind cover. Because of its excellence, it has now become the sniper rifle of choice for British special forces.

However, it didn't make much use of eggs, and in front of the XL2500 sniper rifle, it was just scum.

As soon as this old man came into sight, Xia Lei judged his identity, this old man was the one who did not participate in the battle and ran away alone.

"Why didn't he take part in the battle with a sniper rifle?" Xia Lei guessed in his heart, "Could it be that he is cowardly? Since they are knights of the Knights Hospitaller, they should value the glory of knighthood, but if it weren't for his cowardice, why would he leave his companions and flee secretly?"

Whatever the reason, Xia Lei quietly grabbed his captured M82A1 sniper rifle and slowly leaned forward. In the end, he actively ignored the scope of the M82A1 sniper rifle and locked on to the target with his left eye.

The tall blonde old man is getting closer.

"1200 meters. "Charley's brain gave a figure of distance, and if he had used an XL2500 sniper rifle, he would have fired a long time ago. However, the effective range of the M82A1 sniper rifle is only 1,000 meters, and as soon as the bullets fly out, most of them rely on luck to shoot the target. Therefore, he had already locked on to the target, but he still chose to lurk and wait for the target to approach.

The old man ran forward another hundred meters, then stopped, put the butt of his sniper rifle on the ground, and gasped for air. He didn't look back, he looked nervous.

The corners of Xia Lei's mouth curled slightly, "Damn, will you be tired if you run another hundred meters?" He put his finger on the trigger, quietly waiting for the old man to approach again.

The old man rested, picked up his sniper rifle and walked forward. As he walked, he pulled out his phone and made a call.

Xia Lei's heart moved, his fingers left the trigger, and the sight of his left eye was locked on the old man's mouth.

"I'm in the valley, come and pick me up right away!" the old man spoke quickly, "Most of the relics have already fallen into the hands of those people, we can't let them escape from here, even if we raze Bobbio to the ground, I will find them!"

This breath!

Could it be an important figure in the Knights Hospitaller?

Even, is it the head of the regiment?

Xia Lei's finger moved to the trigger again......
