Chapter 22: The Sniper
Qin Tian really needed support, as he was already under siege by "pirates".
These "pirates" were very smart, and after they found out that Qin Tian had easily killed five people, they immediately divided into two groups, one group was biting Qin Tian in the front, and the other group was trying to outflank Qin Tian from the flank.
If the "pirates" were allowed to do this, then Qin Tian would face an embarrassing situation.
In such a situation, the general response is to keep an eye on the outflanked enemy and retreat with them.
But Qin Tian didn't do this, he couldn't do this, he had to stay here, only in this way could John and the others board the ship smoothly, otherwise they would be crushed below, not only would they not be able to reinforce Qin Tian, but they would also fall into a crisis.
Of course, this does not include John, because Qin Tian believes that if John climbs up, the freighter will be bounced away by his big belly.
In fact, Qin Tian deliberately did not retreat, because it had a way to retreat, a ladder made of wooden boxes......
"Da Da", several bullets flew from the side and back, hitting the container next to Qin Tian, making a "sonorous" sound.
This made Qin Tian realize that the enemy had completed the encirclement of him.
Soon, Qin Tian was struggling to cope...... This is not pretending, there are enemies in the front and back, and there is another on the side, no matter which one Qin Tian deals with, he will become the target of the enemy in the other direction.
Then, the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the enemy got closer and closer to him.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Tian jumped onto the container again along the wooden box staircase, and the corpses of the two pirates were still "lying" on it.
But of course, Qin Tian's target was not these two corpses, standing tall meant seeing far, and the angle also changed, and a "pirate" on the flank was first exposed in front of Qin Tian, holding a gun, aiming, and pulling the trigger, and a few bullets were instantly discharged to knock the target down.
Then Qin Tian jumped down and pulled out the pistol at his waist at the same time...... Another "pirate" was leaning against the container with a gun and peeking to the other side, he never imagined that Qin Tian would fall from the sky and appear behind him, and by the time he realized this, it was already too late.
It's white, and it's familiar.
"Jacob?" Qin Tian recognized the other party.
"Qin?" Jacob looked back suspiciously: "I thought you were dead!" ”
Jacob was once part of the "Spartans" and later transferred to other mercenary groups...... It's like a company job-hopping, and it's also common in the mercenary world.
"Why are you here?" Qin Tian asked.
"I'm sorry!" Jacob replied, "I can't say! ”
"Then ......" Qin Tian said, "I'm sorry too!" ”
"No, no, no......"
A gunshot interrupted Jacob's plea for mercy, and Jacob's head bounced off the container under the inertia of the bullet, before falling to the ground like a deflated balloon.
Mercenaries don't have acquaintances, even if they were friends before, drinking whiskey together in a bar and talking about the past and the future, but if they were employed by different employers...... They are the enemy.
Qin Tian didn't have any regrets, because he believed that if he had the opportunity, Jacob would do the same.
"Qin!" At this time, the chief's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "We're coming up, where are you?" ”
Qin Tian fired two shots into the air, which was more powerful than any description.
"Roger!" The chief then ordered: "Spread out, watch out for your own people at a hundred meters!" ”
"Well done, Qin!" John's voice came over the walkie-talkie again.
"John?" Hearing this voice, Qin Tian was even more surprised than when he ran into his former friend on the battlefield and had to slash him.
"How did you get up?" Qin Tian asked.
"We'll drag him up!" The chief replied, "Otherwise we should have come to your aid a few minutes earlier!" ”
"Thank you, John!" Qin Tian couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"You're welcome!" John replied solemnly: "Don't worry, we'll take care of the rest!" ”
People who grow fat have a natural sense of humor.
It turned out that what John said was indeed only "humorous", because when dozens of "ghost" members led by the chief crossed Qin Tian's position and attacked the enemy, a crisp gunshot rang out from the opposite side.
"Sniper rifles?" Qin Tian made a judgment at the first time.
Sure enough, the panicked cries of the "ghost" mercenaries soon came from the walkie-talkie:
"Sniper, he's hiding in the building!"
"Which floor?"
"We don't know, I only hear gunshots!"
……
John shouted a command: "Crush this bastard with fire!" ”
All of a sudden, the mercenaries fired a barrage of bullets at the cargo ship's superstructure, but this obviously had no effect, because they didn't know the location of their target and were just messing around.
Then there was another "bang" of gunshots, and a bloody arrow burst out from behind the chest of one of the mercenaries and fell in a pool of blood.
"Qin!" John shouted, "Find out this bastard, he's draining our ammo!" ”
In fact, there was no need for John's order at all, Qin Tian had already rushed up.
"Whoosh" A bullet flew past Qin Tian, if it weren't for Qin Tian's temporary change of direction, he was afraid that blood would have been spattered on the spot at this time.
This also let Qin Tian know that he had been targeted by snipers.
In fact, if it weren't for the "ghost" mercenaries who swarmed up to force the snipers to be exposed, Qin Tian at this time would have become a corpse long ago.
However, it seems that there is no difference now, because the snipers have turned and controlled the entire battlefield...... although there are not many "pirates" left, they have a few gunners guarding the lower floors, and the snipers are sniping targets one by one at the high places, which makes the "ghost" mercenaries unable to come forward and can only stay where they are and stalemate with the opponent.
It is clear that such a stalemate is not good for the "ghosts", who did not even dare to come out under the threat of snipers.
"Qin!" John yelled, "Think of a way! ”
"I can't pinpoint his location!" Qin Tian replied.
The target distance is within the range of the AK...... The freighter was more than 300 meters long, so Qin Tian was only more than 200 meters away from the target.
The problem is that snipers hide in the shadows and may be constantly changing positions.
With a bang, another mercenary was shot in the head and fell.
Qin Tian took advantage of this gap and came out with his rifle in his hand.
He's taking a risk, he has to find his target and kill it in the little time the enemy pulls the bolt and loads it, or he's going to fall.
But the situation made Qin Tian's heart chill, the sniper was obviously carefully arranged, he closed the curtain on the other side to block the light, and from Qin Tian's position, he couldn't find anything at all.
Suddenly, a picture flashed in Qin Tian's mind: a sniper lying on the table, holding a "Steyr" sniper rifle aimed downward......
