Chapter 160: Ambush Again
(October 16) countdown to the 75th day
Yao Xiaoyi went all the way south, and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
On the way, the three killers were in full view of the surveillance footage of the two adjacent shooting points, two of the killers kept paddling with Artemisia on the left and right, and the three pursuers significantly accelerated their speed, and the time difference between them has been shortened to 1 hour.
According to the speed, one more day, the three of them will be able to catch up with themselves.
Yao Xiaoyi checked the map again and judged that there were still two days left to reach the end of the road, which was the end of the river, which meant that she had to make another plan before the pursuers caught up.
She continued on her way, carefully observing the left and right banks along the way. As the sun sets and the moon rises, she finally has a new plan.
Having made up her mind, she propped up the raft to the left bank, went ashore to cut down branches, pulled some weeds, tied them into the shape of a straw man, and dressed the straw man in a dress of her own, which was a trench coat with a vertical collar to effectively cover the neck.
She took out a mask from her backpack, quickly changed her makeup to her own appearance, tied the mask to the straw man's face, and then made hair out of fine grass, pulling out a bun and coiling it on the straw man's head. It looks like a living person who only has to go to work.
She had chosen two trees, one high and one low, on the left and right banks, and tied one section of the rope to the higher one on the left bank, and then supported the raft to the right bank, and the other end was tied to the lower tree.
She propped the raft back to the left bank, hung an improvised pulley on the rope, hung a thin thread from behind the straw man, and put another rope on the pulley.
Once ready, she began experimenting with the pulley effect.
Unleashing the rope that held the pulley in place, the pulley led the straw man down quickly and quickly across the river to the opposite bank. Pulling the pulley back to the left bank, she fine-tuned the height of the rope to make sure that the hem of the trench coat was just submerged in the water when the straw man was hanging in the middle of the river, so that it was not easy to identify the defect in the lower half of the straw man's body, and she adjusted the length of the rope attached to the pulley to hold the pulley in place.
After trying again, the straw man slid sharply and stopped steadily in the middle of the river.
Perfect! She dragged the raft ashore, hid it in the woods, lengthened the rope that held the pulley to it, and led the rope up the left bank to a distance of 900 meters from the pulley's position before stopping.
After many encounters with the killer, she already knew that this distance was a safe distance first, and the miniature *** and pistol used by the other party could not kill her. And if you use the original arrows yourself, this distance is enough, and you have to fight with the opponent's sniper rifle. The opponent is on the river, on the raft, and the river she specially selected to join her has a faster current, which effectively increases the sniper's aiming difficulty. In addition, the opponent is above the river and has no barrier to rely on, and he is swimming against the current and detouring behind the opponent's back, which also increases the certainty of the success of the surprise attack. She planned that the first target to shoot would be the person paddling on the left side of the raft, which would cause the raft to lose its balance for a while, further increasing the difficulty of the opponent's shot.
Referring to the experience of the previous successful ambush, she once again deduced the course of the upcoming battle. The certainty of killing with one arrow at the first shot is very large, and the key is the first reaction of the remaining two people on the other side after an arrow is shot. After the raft loses its balance instantly, the first reaction of the person paddling on the right is to control the raft and prevent it from falling into the water. The man standing in the middle was the most threatening of the two, and his first instinct was to turn around and shoot at the same time after judging his shooting position. At this time, the straw man should play a role, to distract himself from the sudden appearance of the middle of the river at the same time as the other party turns, and this is an excellent fighter for her to send a second arrow. Therefore, the more accurate the time for the straw man to reach the middle of the river, the better.
So she once again conducted a simulation exercise, first aiming at the predetermined target at the predetermined position and shooting an arrow out of thin air, requiring the action to be absolutely complete; Calculate the amount of advance, she loosened the rope that pulled the mixed wheel, took the arrow, stretched the bow, and set the arrow in the process of the pulley running towards the river, and then calculated the position of the raft in a panic along the river in this process, aimed at the predetermined target, and fired.
Once the second person is killed, the remaining one will either be killed on the spot or flee down the river. There is no doubt that the opponent can only escape, so she needs to find a way to stop the opponent from escaping. At this time, the distance between her and her opponent is between 900 and 1000 meters. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, she got up from the ambush point, ran with her legs, and rushed to the position of installing the pulley with all her strength, using the time, it took 5 minutes and 20 seconds, the water flow of this river accelerated, and the field of vision was fast and wide, assuming that the other party supported the raft to go south, the whole process was within her field of vision, and then tested the speed of the water, 5 minutes and 20 seconds, the distance between her and the opponent was not lengthened, but almost shortened to about 600 meters. In this way, she was completely sure that she would shoot her opponent in the middle of the river.
After the drill, she filled the clear river water with an empty mineral water bottle, and ate some snacks as mineral water, waiting for the enemy.
It was completely as he expected, half an hour later, the raft of the three killers passed through the ambush site where Yao Xiaoyi was lurking, and one was still rowing the left and the other on the right.
Yao Xiaoyi lay quietly on her stomach, bent her bow and already loaded the arrow, following the movement of the raft, tightly locking the rower on the left side of the raft and the position where the rope was crossing.
The target is getting closer, 50 meters, 25 meters, 5 meters, 0 meters, minus 0.5 meters.
Yao Xiaoyi let go of the rope, and at the same time touched the shot, the arrow left the string, and arrived first in an instant, and it was on the back of the killer on the left, and the man was carried into the river in response. The raft shook a little, and the rower on the right struggled to control the raft.
Exactly as Yao Xiaoyi deduced in advance, the killer standing at the front of the raft instantly judged the shooting position of the cold arrow and was about to raise his gun. At the same time, the pulley drove the straw man, slid down rapidly, and stopped steadily in the middle of the river, less than a meter away from the killer who had just bricked.
At the last moment, Yao Xiaoyi took the arrow, loaded the arrow, aimed, and shot instantly, and at the moment when the man was stunned by the straw man who looked exactly like Yao Xiaoyi, the arrow had hit his heart, and he only had time to reluctantly raise the gun to fire, and he had already turned his back into the river.
Yao Xiaoyi quickly got up from the hiding place, pulled his leg along the river bank, and while chasing, the other arrow was already loaded with a bow and crossbow.
Seeing this, the last killer gave up resistance, and finally controlled two consecutive shakes, quickly paddling the raft and speeding away.
Yao Xiaoyi sprinted with all her might, reached the location where the pulley was installed, aimed, and shot!
It's a pity that I didn't shoot this time! Maybe it's because the target and yourself are on the move, and the impact at full speed affects the stability of the launch.
Fortunately, at this time, the raft was only about 600 meters away from its position.
Yao Xiaoyi stood still, took arrows, loaded arrows, aimed, paused, calculated the amount in advance, and then aimed and shot!
Zheng!
Thump!
The sound of arrows breaking through the air and the sound of targets being hit and loaded into the river rang out.
The canyon at night soon calms down.
Yao Xiaoyi took a long breath, full of starlight, and walked forward in the starry night.
