Chapter 628: Stop
On the vast ice field, the dogs are running all four legs.
The hot breath exhaled from his mouth formed a white smoke in the air, which was blown away by the cold wind.
Ole saw Arethia beside him gesturing to him, telling him that he had forty minutes to reach the end of the trip.
However, at this time, Zhang Heng, who had been very quiet behind Ole, suddenly stretched out his hand, patted him on the back, and shouted in English, "Stop!" ”
Ole didn't stop immediately, he turned his head to see what Zhang Heng wanted to do, but when his eyes moved behind him, he found that Zhang Heng had disappeared.
Ole was taken aback, he didn't expect Zhang Heng to be left halfway by him, or...... To be more precise, the other party himself took the initiative to jump off the sleigh halfway.
You must know that the speed of the sled is not slow now, almost twenty-five kilometers per hour, and if you jump like this, you will be thrown somewhere, and just as Ole pulled the reins and was about to stop the dogs, a gunshot suddenly sounded in his ears.
Ole subconsciously shrank his neck, and after confirming that he was okay, he quickly turned his gaze to Arethea's sled, only to see that Arethea was also controlling the dogs to stop, she and Songjia also looked surprised, Ole breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned his gaze to another sled, only to see that Arethea's tribe sent to pick them up was crooked, and had fallen on the sled.
Then he heard Song Jia shouting, "Get down, get down, Zhang Heng sent me a message saying that there are snipers." ”
Hearing this, Ole suddenly had a trace of fear in his heart, and he didn't even have time to make the dogs stop completely, so he also learned from Zhang Heng, jumped directly from the sleigh, and lay on the ice field, motionless.
On the other side, Arehya and Songja were slightly slower than him, but they both quickly hid. After about a minute and a half, Songjia's phone vibrated again, and she took it out of her pocket tremblingly, looked at it quickly, and then her face returned to some blood.
"Zhang Heng said that the sniper has left, he is chasing, let's wait where we are."
"He's going to be fine, right? After all, the other side has a gun in his hand," Arethia was shocked, "we can go back to the tribe first and find the hunters of the tribe to help find the sniper." ”
Song Jia also felt that it was safer to do this, but she sent a message to Zhang Heng, but the latter did not reply for a long time.
Because they didn't know what the situation was on the other side, the three of them didn't even dare to get up completely from the snow, if Zhang Heng really lost to the sniper who sneaked up on them, the other party would probably come back and kill them, but the three of them didn't leave on the sleigh because they were afraid, leaving Zhang Heng alone on this ice field.
Ole and Arethia stooped over to the third sleigh, only to find that the tribesman who had come to meet them was no longer breathing, while Sachus behind him was unharmed, and there was no fear on his face, but his eyes glistened with excitement, as if he was glad to see death with his own eyes.
Although Arethia and Ole were unhappy with Sachus's attitude, they dragged him from his seat and threw him on the snow because they still needed him to recover the holy relic.
After that, the three of them waited for about half an hour, and finally saw Zhang Heng coming from not far away, carrying a rather small rifle in his hand.
- VOERE S16, this is a lightweight rifle produced by an Austrian company, different from the previous sniper rifle for the pursuit of range and lethality, this small rifle has found a new way, in portability to achieve the extreme, the weight is only two kilograms, less than one-seventh of the previous XM109, in order to reduce the weight, the gun body uses a lot of carbon fiber materials.
Of course, its shooting accuracy and destructiveness are far inferior to the XM109, but it is enough for Zhang Heng, and most importantly, it is light enough to facilitate the pursuit of targets.
After Zhang Heng examined the body of the Inuit who had been shot, Araithia couldn't wait to ask.
"Well, did you find the sniper who attacked us?" And Song Jia translated her question to Zhang Heng.
As a result, Zhang Heng shook his head, "No, he ran away, he seems to be very familiar with the terrain around here." ”
Ole and Arecia glanced at each other, and then the Inuit boy clenched his fists and squeezed a name out of his teeth hatefully, "Hans! ”
Hans was the one who was in charge of bringing the relics from the tribe to Nuuk before, and it was he who left a mark that only Aresia and Ole could understand, and tricked them into going to the art museum, if it wasn't for Zhang Heng's timely appearance, Aresia and Ole must have died by now.
Ole then saw Zhang Heng put his hand into his pocket and took out a knife from it, and when he saw the knife, Aresia also let out an exclamation, "This is Hans's knife, he usually carries it with him, could it be that the person who attacked us is really him, why?" He also killed Uncle Luke, who had always been nice to him and taught him how to fish. ”
Song Jia said at this time, "Zhang Heng said, you had better not take that knife to heart, in fact, he didn't want to give it to you, because he felt that this thing was deliberately thrown there." ”
"Deliberately?" Ole's eyes widened, "What did you say about what happened in the museum before, was it also deliberate, but there were very few people who knew about that mark, and Hans was ambushed here, obviously trying to finish what he couldn't do that night, and he was afraid that we would tell Kunayu all the good things he did." ”
Zhang Heng shook his head, "His target is not you, nor me and Songjia," he said as he glanced at Sachus who was snorting on the side, "That guy named Luke should also be unlucky." ”
"How do you know?" Alethia asked.
"I saw a bright light flickering in the snow before, and I judged that the lens of the sight was reflecting the sunlight, and then I found out where the sniper was, and the direction he was aiming, and his marksmanship was not good, just now I checked Luke's body and found that the bullet was fired diagonally from behind, which means that he waited for Luke's sleigh to pass in front of him before he started aiming...... This angle is actually more suitable for shooting Sachus who is sitting behind the sled, but I didn't expect to end up killing Luke in front by mistake. ”
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, Alethia and Ole looked at each other a little, they didn't expect Zhang Heng to analyze so many things just from the trajectory, not to mention that they still didn't know where the light rifle in Zhang Heng's hand came from.
