Chapter 234: Gunshots Rang Out in Raphael Square

In order to avoid police questioning, Xu Le strictly controlled his speed within the standard line, drove the van for four hours, and finally arrived in Washington, D.C., his target was at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the political center of the United States: the White House.

Xu Le knows very well what kind of sensational consequences will be caused by killing a senior leader of the US federal state here, that is exactly the effect Xu Le needs, the bigger the trouble, the better, it is best to start a third world war, involve all the conservatives in the country, and burn all the damned mutants to ashes with the flames of war.

Xu Le himself knows that this idea is a bit naïve. But it doesn't matter, in short, Xu Le has found enough reasons for himself to follow his heart and release the desire to kill.

Xu Le thinks like this: Since the U.S. federal government doesn't know the connection between Sean Conrad and the mutant, then in the eyes of the U.S. federal government, there is no motive to assassinate Sean Conrad, so the U.S. federal government will fall into the anger of detachment, and do its best to track down the real culprit in the wrong direction. In addition, as long as they can succeed, the mutant will not be able to sit still and go to great lengths to chase and kill him.

Instead of bothering to find the mutants hiding in the shadows one by one, let them take the initiative to find themselves. Taking the initiative to hunt mutants is not only extremely inefficient, but after the mutants react, they are likely to fall into the trap arranged by the mutants.

On the contrary, let the mutants chase and kill themselves, hide themselves in the shadows, and they can firmly grasp the initiative, and it is up to them to fight, ambush or retreat, and it is conceivable that after angering the mutants, the temple will send a steady stream of subordinates to chase and kill, which is a good business.

As for how can you assassinate a national leader in the White House, which is the equivalent of Zhongnanhai in China, and then walk away? Xu Le has already made the whole plan.

It is impossible to make Xu Le, a non-professional, plan slowly like a professional killer, and it takes a long time and patience to investigate the location, arrange the position, and plan the escape route—just the two things that Xu Le lacks the most.

Xu Le's plan of action had to be swift and safe, so Xu Le opted for a van, which had the advantage of being spacious, and after removing the back seat, it was enough to be used as a sniper position.

You don't need to find a suitable place to set up a sniper position, you just need to drive a van, from the north of the White House, to visit Rafael Square and the White House as a cover, stop for a moment at the right time, turn from the driver's seat to the sniper position arranged in the back, open the door, snipe the target, then close the door, turn back on the driver's seat, step on the accelerator, and slip away.

Sean Conrad is the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and rarely stays in the White House to work overtime, when he leaves the White House after work and picks up the car to go home, Xu Le snipes at him in Rafael Square, the sunlight will shine behind Xu Le, will not affect the vision, and the bullet casings that pop up after the sniper will remain in the car and will not stay at the scene of the crime.

To be precise, as long as you step on the accelerator, you can take the entire crime scene away, which is convenient for escape and will not leave clues for pursuit. If you're lucky, you might even be able to drive the van out of Washington, D.C., before the police can react, then find a secluded corner, burn the van, sniper rifles, and other tools of the crime, and then change identities and continue the operation. If this is the case, Xu Le believes that at least until he is approached by mutants or the Nineteenth Bureau, the US federal police will not be able to find him.

Even if you're unlucky, you can always abandon the car and leave, throw away your wig and contact lenses, and find a way to blend in with a neighborhood that isn't so safe. In the current American Federation, people with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin can be seen everywhere, which is not an eye-catching sign at all, and it will not attract unnecessary attention.

The only difficulty is to complete the sniper and escape, in order to protect the safety of the president and other national leaders, the White House and nearby buildings will have a number of sniper observation teams on standby 24 hours a day, under the gaze of these eagle-like eyes, Xu Le is likely to only have one or two shots, and if one hit misses, he must travel thousands of miles, otherwise it will not be Sean Conrad who will be sniped, but Xu Le himself.

Without occupying the commanding heights, just stopping on a road for one to two seconds, and relying on this fleeting short time to complete the aim, accurately sniping targets hundreds of meters away in the crowd, this kind of difficult task is impossible for even a super-first-class sniper expert, let alone Xu Le's half-baked level?

Luckily, Xu Le was able to cheat, and his superpowers allowed him to complete complex measurements and aiming tasks in just one second, which was far from enough time for others, but more than enough for Xu Le.

When the sun sets like a crumbling light bulb, Sean Conrad, dressed in casual sports and wearing a baseball cap, walks to the north of the White House on time, where he jogs twice a day in Rafael Square to refresh himself before riding home. It's just that Sean Conrad is a little strange today, not only is he wearing a pair of sunglasses, but he is also accompanied by two security guards with sharp eyes and strong figures.

"Perhaps the emergence of mutants and the Awakened has made the top of the U.S. federal government aware of concern, so security measures have been strengthened." Xu Le put down the small monoculars, he didn't think much about it, he just sighed that his luck was not good, now that Sean Conrad has two bodyguards to protect him, then the opportunity left for Xu Le will be reduced again.

If the first shot misses, then Sean Conrad's bodyguards will definitely protect Sean with his body and make the most professional response.

But for snipers, the first shot in battle is often the worst shot, and it is also a shot used to warm up, and the sniper conditions are so poor, and it is necessary to kill with one shot without the assistance of the observer, even if Xu Le has superpowers, he may not be able to do it.

What to do? Give it a go, or just withdraw?

Xu Le gritted his teeth fiercely, if he was still free now, he might choose to endure for a while and wait for a better opportunity, but now I don't know how many people at home and abroad are trying their best to track down his whereabouts, Xu Le can't help but think: If he withdraws this time, he will soon be caught by the Nineteenth Bureau, mutants or other forces? Wouldn't it be in vain to come here after all the hardships I had?

Give it a go!

Even if you can't successfully snipe Sean, you can muddy the water and attract mutants to chase you!

After making up his mind, Xu Le immediately parked on the side of the road in violation of regulations, jumped to the back compartment with a clean and neat turning motion, pulled the car door, put his shoulder on the butt of the gun, and put his finger on the trigger, everything around slowed down, and the sound of horns and scolding behind him pulled the old man, like a slow motion in a movie.

Xu Le held his breath, adjusted his body posture in a very small amplitude, and aimed the crosshair at the distant target......

"Bang!"
