Chapter 349: God's Love and Mercy
Six days later, the forward units of the First Army officially entered the surveillance range of the Fishmen.
Huang Shang also received a report on the enemy situation from the front.
"Huerter reports that enemy tracks have been spotted, and that a group of fishmen carrying moas is flying towards the First Army." Fang Li, who was holding the phone, relayed.
Although the term moa is not a mysterious creature for the first time, it is just a new species of seagull that mutates after being exposed to radiation.
Let's just let it be a prelude to an all-out war between humans and extraterrestrial civilizations, Huang Shang nodded, "Let them do what they planned." ”
North of the Han Tech Empire, the wasteland plains.
The sniper squad that received the order, under the guidance of Su Lan, quickly arrived at the firing position, a small forest far away from the large force of the First Army.
The range of five kilometers is not safe, and in good weather and without shelter, the moa still has the possibility of spotting the Imperial Squad.
After all, when a team of ten people moves, even if it is more than ten miles away, it is a relatively conspicuous target.
Therefore, the plan given by the General Staff was to go forward to intercept, as well as suspend the march and hide on the spot.
On the one hand, using the high mobility of the overrunners, the mist stealth group composed of Huerter and Dean, and the sniper team with Su Lan as the core take the initiative to attack, striving to kill the opponent from a safe distance and induce the enemy to go wrong. On the other hand, each participant was given a special second-generation power armor with "Snowy Camouflage", which was not only dyed with the color of heavy snow, but also made of materials that did not look ordinary.
For the latter point, the Mist Stealth team gave a high evaluation, according to the words of the two assassins, the action was fine, once stationary, it was almost impossible to discern the silhouette of the wearer in the high ground, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.
Now Su Lan is wearing the same clothes.
But she didn't like it.
The sleeves and trousers are completely designed, and the twisted snow-white spots are more like graffiti smeared by hand. Not only that, but the stiffness of the fabric is like the bark of a tree, and if it weren't for the special lining inside, I was afraid that even the skin would have to be worn off. No matter what kind of body you are, you basically look the same when you put it on.
After all, for snipers, flexibility is the most important thing, and the second-generation power armor is much thicker than the first-generation power armor because of the reinforced reactive armor.
Of course, although she had a lot of complaints in her heart, she wouldn't say it, she was also a sniper, Huang Shang naturally knew that the bulky armor was not conducive to activities, but the security was greatly increased, and she didn't want to live up to Huang Shang's kindness.
She is not a weak lady who has not weathered the storm, she is a warrior and the output core of the imperial team.
"The fish-men are still thirty kilometers away from being in range, and we can prepare." Huerter's voice interrupted her thoughts, "Now let's do it." ”
"Yes, the armor is in an offensive stance, and the defensive barrier will be lifted in five seconds, please be ready for the impact." Huerter replied.
"Oh, that's the tone! Dean clenched his fists to the side, "That sounds like a professional—you're a quick learner." ”
"Really...... Thank you. Huerter coughed lightly, probably in church he had never received such praise from a little girl.
And Su Lan couldn't help but hold his forehead, where did such a blunt way of speaking look professional? Also prepared for the impact - as the ability was lifted, everyone shook slightly under the effect of inertia, and then stepped on the ground safely - come on, this level of vibration is not as good as the roar of the copper beast.
"Now it's the turn of the Mist Stealth Group," Dean gave everyone a thumbs up, then pulled down his windshield goggles and jumped up, "The obstacles have been cleared, the green light is on - Dean, let's go!" ”
"Dean, follow me!" Huerter also dissolved into a thick fog and followed, and soon the two disappeared into thin air.
"What is the obstacle? There's no obstacle here, huh? The warbler looked around in bewilderment, "Where is the green light?" ”
"Maybe it's a new way of training, right?" Momiji, who was the protector, tilted his head and said, "I heard His Majesty say the same password in the office, and it seems to be a term specially prepared for misty stealth training. It's just strange that in addition to these two guys, there were also Wandering Warblers and Bronze Beasts who listened to his explanation at that time. ”
"Huh? Could it be that other people can learn to move forward in the fog? ”
"I don't know."
"If I can learn too, what can I say?" The warbler touched her chin and said, "Hmm...... Wandering warbler, invisible? ”
"It's a pretty corny word," Lan Feng pursed his lips, "they're not invisible, they're a dense fog that turns into low-concentration molecules!" ”
"Hey, don't disturb General Su Lan's observation." Momiji smiled.
"Understood!"
Looking at this scene, Su Lan couldn't help but sigh. 、
According to the plan, once the operation begins, they will be farther and farther away from the outer city of the Han Technology Empire in the coming week, and pull the focus of the fishmen's reconnaissance to the northwest as much as possible, in other words, they will be alone in the depths, no matter what kind of enemy they encounter, they can only rely on their own strength to avoid or repel them.
The entire sniper team has to face a difficult battle full of dangers, why is the atmosphere so jumpy......
Suddenly, someone patted her on the shoulder, Su Lan turned her head and saw Hongye showing her a "I understand you" look.
She couldn't help but feel a great sense of comfort.
Yes, there is no way around it...... Because ultra-long-distance sniping requires a lot of energy, in addition to the necessary combat personnel, the team must also bring a number of auxiliary overrunners to ensure the effect of continuous fire, and idle personnel like Lan Feng and Qing Ling are undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Compared with those high-level base officials who are well-versed in the world, she still lacks a sense of composure, such as Lord Huerter, who has hardly spoken.
"Let's start too," Su Lan took a deep breath, "The fish-man should be here soon-"
"Wait a minute......" Momiji suddenly whispered, "I haven't closed my eyes for two nights, I'm a little tired......"
She was speechless.
Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to assemble the Hunter Sniper Rifle, and in order to minimize the installation steps, His Majesty only disassembled the weapon into two parts, the body and the bracket, and carried them separately by Huerter and Lan Feng.
Su Lan completed the pre-shooting preparation in the shortest time - compared to the ordinary rifle used before, this sniper rifle from the future is easier to operate. After pushing a special bullet the length of a palm into the chamber of the gun, she nodded towards the perimeter to protect Momiji.
Red Leaf gave the order and led Qing Ling and Lan Feng to disappear without a trace in an instant, and began the perimeter protection work.
Su Lan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a red halo emanated from her entire pupil, and she opened the Eye of God.
In an instant, the scene in her field of vision fluctuated, and the outlines of everything seemed to overlap,—— this strange interlacing caused her a slight dizziness, but after repeated training, she was able to control herself from ignoring the slight discomfort and focusing further away.
The field of vision quickly zoomed in, or it was directly switched to the past, and the surrounding woods and meadows disappeared without a trace, leaving only a white sea of clouds.
And in this sea of clouds, three floating black dots came into her mind.
Distance?
Twelve kilometers.
What about other directions?
Safe.
In the state of opening the Eye of God, the visual transmission process is simplified, and Su Lan can get an answer immediately as long as a question pops up - it can even be said that it is not the brain that answers her, but the irritated response of the eyes.
After getting rid of the initial discomfort, all that remained was freedom and exhilaration - she had already liked the feeling, whether it was a glance of sight or a vision that penetrated everything, it made her perception wider, as if the world was alive.
I wonder how it will feel the next time the Vision evolves again?
"Mist stealth communications, this is Dean. Sniper team, can you see me? At this moment, Dean's voice came from the communication channel.
Su Lan reined in his spirit and pulled his vision back, "I found you." ”
"How high is that?"
"It should be fine, just find a cloud and hide."
"Understood."
"Hmm."
Throughout the sniper operation, Huerter and Dean will be the last resort, swooping down over the enemy's head to deliver the final blow at close range if they fail to get a valid kill, or if the enemy numbers exceed expectations. When the two of them dive at full speed, the speed is almost three times that of the moa, and with the ability of the two of them to turn into a dense fog by surprise, the success rate is almost 100%.
But this trick can only be used once.
If there are other fish-men or flying moa on the field, they have no choice but to retreat.
Of course, Su Lan didn't think about letting them make a move at all.
She has enough confidence in her abilities.
This is her pride as a shooter, and it is also her trump card to overwhelm others by herself.
She wants to show these little girls what it means to be truly professional.
Six kilometers.
Huerter's voice rang out again.
"Ah, I'm aiming for it."
Su Lan closed his eyes, causing his vision to disappear completely, and then focused on his first target.
Five kilometers is not the limit of range, nor is it the limit of her ability, but her personal limit - theoretically, as long as she is within the killing range of the bullet, she can hit when she sees it, but the huge information ceiling restricts her performance, so that she can't really achieve this.
If the energy is exhausted at one time, the over-limit person will also fall into fainting.
Five kilometers can be said to be the optimal solution obtained by repeated tests.
As the thought struck, the thought poured out wildly, enveloping her entirely, and the imaginary guide line soon appeared, connecting with the unaware moa.
It's hard to relate to the trajectory of the bullet when you look at this thin silver thread—it's so twisted that it rises like an arched bridge to the empty sky, and then turns into an undulating line as the distance increases.
That's right, the broken line, this is the trajectory that Su Lan has only seen since he got the hunter sniper rifle, and it changes shape all the time, and the middle section is almost fluttering with the wind, like a broken spider silk. The only difference is that the end of the trajectory is always fixed to the target.
She had asked His Majesty Huang Shang, and His Majesty's answer was somewhat unexpected.
He said that this ability is not aimed at all, because aiming cannot measure what has happened but is not yet to come.
The speed of the bullet will continue to decrease after the discharge, and it will be more and more affected by the external environment, for example, a gust of cross wind can deviate the landing point of the bullet by more than hundreds of meters, so no matter how accurate the scope is, it will not allow the shooter to achieve a hundred shots.
And after it is stretched to five kilometers, it has become a luxury.
But the Hunter Sniper Rifle fires lasers, a type of light that, in the air, can ignore friction and wind.
"Click-"
At the moment when the silver thread blended into the background of the world, Su Lan pulled the trigger.
Far more than the roar of a bolt-action rifle almost hammered down on her chest, the flames flickered and flickered, and the air flow arrived with a tremendous impact. The butt of the gun recoiled irrepressibly and slammed into her shoulder, but the special multi-layer flexible cushioning coating on the rear helped her remove most of the force, and the gun carriage with cushion backrest further dispersed the impact throughout her body. Before the dust could fall, she was ready for a second shot.
Then a stream of blood entered Su Lan's body.
Everything was arranged as it had been during the drill, except for the equipment necessary for sniping, everyone else could assist her in completing the shot, and even the combat overrunners who were responsible for protection were no exception.
"How's it going, did you hit?" Everyone asked with a look of concern.
After all, this blow will determine the success or failure of this mission.
"The bullet will fly for a little longer," Su Lan replied confidently, "but it's already hit." ”
That's right, just like Huang Shang said.
She had already chosen the lucky coin that was bound to go up among thousands of coins.
Even if Huerter could catch the laser bullet, she could still tell the story of its life - after flying four kilometers, the laser's altitude was already lower than that of the fish-man, and although its speed was still terrifyingly lethal, the aim was too far off, and if it continued like this, it would only plunge headlong into the mud.
But a dense layer of clouds would change all that, like a bird riding the wind, or a tile that brushes the water, flying high again, and reflecting an arc along the clouds, bypassing the two fish-people in front of it, and burrowing into the belly of the moa from the side.
That's right, with the help of Huerter, Su Lan used part of the reflection of the clouds to complete the transformation of the angle of the laser bullet.
After Su Lan fired the second shot, she didn't rush to prepare for the next shot, but focused on the birds and beasts at the end of the line, her first target.
"Bang." Then she whispered.
The next moment, I saw the moa tremble violently, a cloud of blood mist was lifted on its back, a large mass of internal organs slipped out, and its stomach deflated at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fish-man riding was directly broken in two, the upper body was thrown high, and the mist in the jar was sprayed everywhere.
It was like a flower of blood blooming in the sky.
