Chapter 20: Ninja Encounter

With a "boom", a sniper rifle bullet hit the engine part of the Volkswagen off-road vehicle, accompanied by a wisp of sparks, and thick white smoke came out. The car lost power, and Hugh and Katyusha had no choice but to push the door open, and with the help of the door, they ran deeper into the woodland next to it. "This time our opponent is prepared, and it seems that we are mentally prepared for a tough fight," Hugh leaned against a big tree, gasping for air. "There's no chance of fighting back." "Watch the back!" Katyusha exclaimed, then aimed at Hugh's rear, raised her gun and fired, only to see two accurate bullets, hitting a cold light, causing the enemy's attack to deviate from the direction, and the trunk of the tree that Hugh had just relied on broke into two pieces in the cold light and smashed to the ground. "It's insidious." Hugh and Katyusha stood back-to-back, guarding against a sneak attack behind them.

"If I'm not mistaken, the opponent should be a Japanese ninja who has been active in the land of Toei for hundreds of years and has carried out countless assassination missions. It's hard to spot them with your eyes alone, they rarely go head-to-head with enemies, and they always hide in the shadows, looking for the right moment to kill them with one hit. Katyusha closed her eyes.

"You need to be like me, close your eyes, calm your mind, and use your ears to catch the wind and grass around you. to be able to perceive his position. Katyusha held the submachine gun in her hand and aimed at the open space in front of her, moving the direction of the muzzle left and right, ready to lock on to the target and fire.

"Okay, I'll try." Hugh tightened his grip on his pistol and began to follow suit.

The weapons in the hands of the two of them covered a range of 180 degrees in front of them, and when combined, they were like a radar, scanning everything around them.

The faint sound of footsteps stepping on the grass rang in my ears. "Four o'clock." Katyusha shouted, and the two of them immediately opened fire, and after a commotion, the footsteps went in the other direction.

After a moment of silence, the sound of a branch being crushed by a heavy object came from above.

"He's above us." Katyusha whispered.

A branch was crushed, followed by a bouncing sound, accompanied by the sound of a blade cutting through the air, and the enemy appeared in the direction of nine o'clock above. The gunshot rang out again, and the other party heard a ** sound of being shot, Hugh opened his eyes, only to see that the other party was shot in the right front chest, and before he could shoot again, a smoke bomb exploded in front of Hugh's eyes, and after the smoke disappeared, the opponent disappeared.

"This gunshot wound is not light, he should not be able to fight." Katyusha put away her gun and looked in the direction of the castle. "There is also a sniper on the other side, if it were you, what would you be most worried about when ambushing the enemy?"

"My position is exposed, and then my vision is disturbed." Hugh changed a pistol magazine.

"It was a cold gun, we don't know where the attack came from the castle, and we didn't hear the sound of shooting, so it can be seen that the other side used a silencer. Next we need him to reveal where he is hiding. Katyusha said.

"Leave it to me, I'll run over and trick him into shooting. Hold the weapon in your hand, watch for the moment he fires, catch the direction of the flash, and once he appears, suppress him with firepower and cover me out. Hugh made a gesture to indicate the direction and route in which he was moving. Katyusha nodded knowingly.

Hugh took a deep breath, crouched down, made a starting position, and then ran like an arrow off the string, towards the direction of the buggy. Another "boom", a bullet shot into the ground in front of Hugh, kicking up a wisp of dust.

"I didn't see the enemy." Katyusha gestured to the side.

"It may be that the muzzle of the gun is hidden in the dark of the room, and I change the angle and force him to stick the muzzle out of the window." Hugh replied in sign language.

With that, Hugh got out of cover with the off-road vehicle. Running straight towards the open area in front of him, Hugh could feel the powerful pressure locked onto by the sniper rifle scope with every step he took. Just as the other party was about to pull the trigger, Hugh leaped forward in a volley, his body parallel to the ground, and the sniper in the attic adjusted the angle, poked the muzzle out of the window, and a bullet came out of the chamber, piercing Hugh's trousers, almost against the skin of his calf, and shooting at the trunk of a tree behind him.

Katyusha took the opportunity to raise her submachine gun and fired a shuttle full of ammunition at the attic window. The dense firepower suppressed the opponent and could not fight back, buying Hugh time to get out of danger.

"The danger is over, he shouldn't be stupid enough to be here for his next attack. Will move to the next place, looking for an opportunity to attack. We hurried and entered the castle. Hugh stood up and patted the dust off his body.

"Wait, this castle has only one entrance, easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't think they're going to let us swagger in through the gates like that, maybe the traps have already been set, and before we can get in, a few guns are already pointed at our heads. Katyusha thought about what to do, and raised her gun and fired two bullets at the wall across the moat. I saw that the location of the shot was shattered under the impact of the bullet, and small shards of sand and gravel burst out in all directions.

Katyusha reached out to Hugh: "Lend me your dagger." "

"Huh?" Hugh was puzzled.

"The walls are full of gaps, and the structure has become brittle after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and those bullets just now verified my judgment. I could climb from the wall to the back of the castle. Surprise the enemy. And I estimated the width of the moat, just enough for me to rush over the edge of the drawbridge and pounce on the diagonally opposite wall, where the impact of the two daggers should be able to sink firmly into the wall and use it as a climbing tool to climb up the wall. Katyusha looked at the drawbridge: "You first pretend to storm the castle and swing two shots at the gate to attract their firepower." Then I slammed diagonally from the drawbridge to the wall. Climb in from the wall at the back of the castle and find a chance to destroy them. "

"Good idea, kill them by surprise." Hugh exclaimed, "Ready to go." "

The two of them came to the drawbridge on the edge of the moat, Hugh walked forward, through the gate of the castle, and fired a few shots at the inside of the castle, which soon caused the sound of hurried footsteps inside, running from far and near, and then quickly quieted down, waiting for Hugh to send him to the door, and become a live target.

"You have to be careful of the fire from the opposite side, and if you can't, you will retreat to the jungle." As soon as the words fell, Katyusha rushed from behind the suspension bridge, and at the edge of the suspension bridge, she jumped into the air and threw herself into the opposite wall, the two daggers in her hands were firmly rooted in the wall, and the whole person was suspended in the air, and the broken soil pierced by the blade of the knife in the gap in the wall fell vertically into the moat more than twenty meters below, causing ripples.

"I wish there were no crocodiles in the river." Katyusha prayed inwardly. Then, along the gap between the walls, he stabbed into it one by one, moving towards the top of the wall.

Hugh advanced and retreated on the drawbridge, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right and to the right, dangling in front of the castle gates, occasionally firing a meaningful shot, never taking a half step. Tormenting the patience of the enemies in the castle.

Three minutes later, Katyusha climbed the wall, and a squirrel stood on top of it, tilting its head curiously at the uninvited guest.
