The boots made a strange trampling sound when they stepped on the floating earth, and the ground mixed with gravel rubbed against the soles of the shoes from time to time.

It was this kind of sound that reminded Zhang Ran.

didn't expect the other party to send patrol officers so early, which made Zhang Ran feel very surprised, fortunately, these patrol mercenaries didn't think about the fact that there were still living people in the place where they were shelled, so they naturally didn't deliberately control the movement, which reminded Zhang Ran so that he could hide himself before he was discovered.

The boulder that was blown apart became the best cover, and the horizontal and vertical gravel formed a large number of gaps, and Zhang Ran was blown up by the sludge when he shelled it, and a marmot who escaped alive was drilled into the mud at this time, and it was really difficult to find it in the light of the morning light.

But Zhang Ran didn't dare to lie face down, he hid his body in the gap, but he showed his eyes, and slowly moved his gaze with his back to the valley.

Although yesterday's shelling swept away the bushes around Zhang Ran, the destruction of the bushes that stretched across the hilly terrain was at best a drop in the bucket. The bush is very different from the jungle, and when a person walks in a real jungle, he will never be aware of it when he stands outside the jungle.

But the bush branches were so short that they couldn't move without cutting some off.

Perhaps the mercenaries belonging to the devil's base used to have one or two fixed patrol routes, and the bushes on this patrol route must have been cleared long ago, but now that they are searching, it is impossible to follow those fixed routes.

Even if the knives used by the mercenaries were extremely awesome, almost silently cutting off those thumb-thick branches, they would eventually pull the surrounding bushes, causing them to sway and make a sound.

And Zhang Ran only needed to pay attention to where the bushes were making such a movement to know where the enemy was.

Barrett is not needed, this super sharp long-range weapon can only be used in sneak attacks and snipers, once the enemy is head-on, Barrett's rate of fire is its biggest shortcoming, and at the same time, this kind of gun with huge recoil is difficult to aim twice, so Zhang Ran took out the pistol he was wearing, an Italian 92F, this gun is the standard configuration of the American army, the special double-row magazine can hold fifteen nine-millimeter bullets, and the effective range is fifty meters, which means that sharpshooters like Zhang Ran, It is completely possible to accurately hit the target at a range of fifty meters.

Taking out the blackened 92F, Zhang Ran's eyes slowly swept, he had already judged the location of the enemy by the movement of the bushes, but he was still worried, worried that there was not only one group of enemies who came out to patrol. There is nothing more terrible than being attacked on the belly and back, and if anything, it is a sniper hiding in high places.

Fortunately, fifteen seconds later, Zhang Ran was sure that the enemy he was facing was really only the patrol team that had reached the edge of the bushes, and judging from the footsteps, the number of people in this team would not exceed four, if the other party did not have a real sharpshooter, Zhang Ran was confident that he would kill them one by one, but in that case, the gunfire would definitely alarm the enemy below, not to mention that these patrolmen still had radio communication equipment on them.

If possible, Zhang Ran still wanted to continue to lurk here, knowing that he could contact Bai Ge.

Four people, no matter how conceited Zhang Ran was, he would not consider killing the four enemies silently, especially if he lacked sufficient equipment.

The only thing he could pray for was that these guys didn't go to the rubble pile where Zhang Ran was hiding, maybe then he could get by.

But even Zhang Ran himself knew that his idea was undoubtedly difficult to realize, and the real task of this team was not to see if there were any living people, but to try to find some clues to determine the identity and origin of the sneak attacker yesterday.

The gravel pile was the focus of yesterday's shelling, and it was impossible for Zhang Ran to let it go at will.

The figure of the mercenary appeared on the edge of the bushes, Zhang Ran squinted his eyes, and silently opened the pistol safe. The four mercenaries are all Westerners, and they are not led by the devil soldiers that Zhang Ran expected, these mercenaries look somewhat embarrassed, not only because they are shuttling through the low bushes, but at least Zhang Ran can clearly see that the mercenary who is in the lead is only crossed with two belts on his body, the Moxican hairstyle on his head is burned, and a piece of gauze is also attached to his forehead, which is obviously injured in yesterday's explosion and fire.

The four mercenaries work together very well, almost ensuring that there is no angle of sight, and no matter which direction they do, they cannot escape their observation.

Zhang Ran's mouth was a little bitter, judging from the cooperation of these four mercenaries, their marching posture and even the way they held their guns, this is definitely not four rookies, if you want to confront them head-on, Zhang Ran doesn't feel that only a pistol can take advantage of himself, and once the fire is exchanged, I am afraid that there will not even be time to change the magazine.

With such a result, Zhang Ran felt that he was about to despair, he slowly turned his head to look around again, but found that there was no better place to hide. Of course, he still has a way to rush down the hill into the valley, and on the way down there are dense bushes, which can help him block bullets if he is lucky, but if he chooses to do so, he will have to face more enemies below.

There may be some rookies among the enemies below, but it is certain that there will be more elites inside.

Left and right are dead, Zhang Ran bit it, and planned to fight for the end!

Slowly raising his right hand, Zhang Ran was estimating the distance between the four mercenaries and himself, and he had to ensure that the first hit was made.

But the enemy is still a hundred meters away, even if it is Zhang Ran, he can only guarantee that he is ninety percent sure within fifty meters, beyond this distance, it is really a chance to try. If he had made a hard decision earlier, maybe he could have used Barrett to kill one or two first, but now he has no chance to set Barrett up, as long as he moves a little bit, he will definitely be discovered by the other party.

The four mercenaries are getting closer and closer, Zhang Ran is almost certain that the other party's target is the gravel pile where he is hiding, at this time the distance between the two sides has been shortened to seventy meters, even if the body is hidden in the gap, Zhang Ran does not dare to move, even if it is a blink of an eye, it may attract a shuttle of bullets from the other party.

The sweat on his forehead began to slide down one by one, if it wasn't for the blocking of his eyebrows and eyelashes, maybe it would have gone directly into Zhang Ran's eyes, Zhang Ran felt hot, and at the same time felt the vest cold. In order to neutralize the adverse reactions such as rapid heartbeat caused by adrenal hormones, Zhang Ran had to take a slow and deep breath to maintain peace of mind, even if he could already feel the death standing behind him at this time.

"Buzz!"

When Zhang Ran's right index finger had already slid to the trigger, there was a sudden roar of the engine in the sky, which instantly attracted the attention of the four mercenaries fifty meters away.

In fact, this is an opportunity, if Zhang Ran shoots at this time, he may be able to kill two mercenaries! However, after a moment of consideration, Zhang Ran decided to take a gamble!

He didn't believe that this was a passing helicopter, just from the roar of the engine, Zhang Ran judged that this was by no means a civilian helicopter, only the double engine can make the roar sound like a superimposed effect, and the sound after noise reduction treatment will be as strange as coughing with a pillow covered.

Zhang Ran felt that he could gamble, he was betting on important people or important substances coming to the base, and generally in this case, all the expatriate patrols would be recalled!

If Zhang Ran made a mistake, it would mean that he had lost a chance, an opportunity that could increase his survival rate by at least thirty percentage points!

But if he bets right, then the benefits are obvious.

When the middle of the four mercenaries pressed the headset and began to speak, Zhang Ran's hanging heart finally let go. In the end, it turned out that he was right, and the patrol must have received an order, and after the inquiry was confirmed, it turned back and prepared to return to the valley base.

It wasn't until the figure of the patrol completely disappeared into the bushes that Zhang Ran silently exhaled a breath of air, raised his hand to wipe a handful of sweat on his forehead, Zhang Ran shook his head, closed the pistol safe, turned around and lay down again, and began to observe the movement of the valley.

"Is there a big guy here?"

When Zhang Ran turned around, the helicopter hovering in the sky was already slowly descending, this is a Russian-made MiG helicopter, strictly speaking it is not an armed helicopter, its strength is the load capacity and durability, Zhang Ran does not like the things produced by the Russians from the bones, and even more shoddy than Chinese knock-offs, the only benefit is only durability.

The huge rotors supported the heavy body of the MiG and began to descend slowly, and there were people on the cleared apron in the valley waving their hands to provide guidance to the helicopter pilot.

Seeing that the helicopter was about to land, Zhang Ran turned his head one last time to make sure that no one would sneak up from behind him, and finally picked up the scope.

When the telescope autofocused, the helicopter's tires bounced twice and were pressed to the ground.

The rotor did not slow down significantly, the hatch was opened, and the mercenary with his hat covered went up, as if he wanted to help the people on the helicopter, but unexpectedly, the figure flashed, and a figure that was not tall, but agile had landed firmly on the ground.

"Ahh

The high-powered telescope brought Zhang Ran a clear line of sight, not to mention his facial features, even the guy's nose hair, Zhang Ran could see it clearly.

Unexpectedly, the helicopter actually sent a devil, and judging from the momentum, I am afraid that it is still the high-level of the devil, Zhang Ran's first reaction in his heart at this time was to arrest Barrett.

Fortunately, he finally held back.

Not only because as soon as that guy landed, many mercenaries surrounded him to protect him, but more importantly, Zhang Ran saw that this devil didn't seem to be planning to have a meeting or anything, but was going straight to the direction of the blown up cave.

This made Zhang Ran curious, if there were only a few mongooses in the cave, I am afraid that they should not be taken so seriously.
