Chapter 38: Life Hangs by a Thread
"I think I've found him! But I didn't take the opportunity just now, I wasn't confident enough.." Nova blushed. He judged the approximate location as soon as the gunfire rang out just now, and although he thought he had seen it, he reflexively withdrew his rifle.
This is a superior sniper's innate quality. Although he saw it with his eyes, his body was half a beat slower.
He felt that if he had turned the gun again, he might have been killed by the other party first.
....
At this time, on the other side, Xia Ming frowned slightly.
Originally, he almost fired a second shot, but the other party was very aware of the situation and withdrew.
Now the position is likely to be exposed, but he has no intention of taking it back. Because the opponent could attack at any time, he couldn't afford to miss the opportunity.
At present, he has completely taken the initiative, and the other party either chooses to withdraw, or he will be hard steel.
In the short period of time, even if they observed, they would first discover the fake sniper point they had set up.
Although this is very risky, people are not fools if they don't take out the bait to lure. If they let them run away this time, they may not appear for a long time. If you move into the shadows, the task will be too difficult to handle.
There were only two of them left now, and as long as he was given time to fire a shot, he would win.
....
"His location is in the fifth building on the left side of the power station, the bottom left of the third window on the 4th floor, I am sure !!" Nova leaned against the wall and looked at Vasily very seriously. ”
Vasily nodded slightly and closed his eyes.
He had already observed the situation on the other side many times, trying to recall every position. It was quickly refreshed in my head..
"I'm going to hit him, and if I can't, I'm sure you'll be able to do it." Nova's meaning was clear, he took the initiative first, and Vasily followed.
"Wait... Let's retreat for the time being. Vasily glanced at Anna, her eyes were not quite right at this time, calm and terrifying.
Nova frowned and looked at Anna, and said very unpleasantly: "You don't care about her, although her skills are very strong, we can't pin our hopes on a woman we don't understand."
This is the best opportunity, do you want to give it up? This is information in exchange for sacrificing Comrade Chekov! ”
Vasily frowned tightly as he looked at Nova's very immature face. Sometimes the team can be a burden, and now he has a disagreement with his teammates.
"Nova, you have to be calm. I don't think it's that simple."
Vasily's words completely angered his companions, and Nova threw off his helmet and said angrily: "Comrade Vasily, where did your bloody nature and will to fight go?? You were my hero!
Are you retreating in front of the enemy and worthy of so many comrades who have sacrificed?
I'd rather die standing than go back and be called a coward!"
Your current mentality has completely lost.
If you want to withdraw, you can withdraw, and in half a minute I will attack. ”
Nova took a deep breath, he must fight the German demons to the end.
Vasily looked at Nova with such a determined look that he didn't know what to say. After all, he is only 17 years old, and his impulsiveness is normal.
But what he said also made sense, and his will seemed to be really shaken.
Maybe the Germans set a trap, maybe he was so confident.
As a fighter, you must have the belief that you will win, and if you have the opportunity, you should fight to the death.
And he came with a mission, if he went back with the corpses of two comrades...
"Alright, let's fight him to the death!" Vasily didn't look at Anna again, he wanted to throw away all distractions ...
Half a minute later..
"I'm on!" Nova opened his eyes, took a step back, quickly turned and picked up his rifle and aimed it at the window.
It's a movement he's had had in his head countless times.
Now that the Germans have the initiative, he can't aim carefully if he wants to fire this shot.
He's going to shoot this by feeling...
With both sides firing at the same time, Nova fell.
He felt as if he had hit, as if he was rubbing his helmet...
But he prefers to believe that it is the former ...
With a hint of a smile, he was finally able to return to his comrades and parents.
"Doesn't seem right!" Vasily had taken aim at Nova and was about to pull the trigger, but the moment he fired the shot, he realized as if he had made a mistake.
insisted on resisting the trigger and didn't shoot, his eyes subconsciously moved slightly to the side, and his eyes widened.
Xia Ming had already quickly finished loading the bullet at this time.
"Die!"
Both men fired almost simultaneously ..
Xia Ming felt a stream of heat pass by his face, leaving a trail of blood.
Vasily fell down with a hint of unwillingness, temporarily changed his position, prepared him too little, just a little ...
"Ding, congratulations, complete task 5. Gives 20 free attribute points and one skill enhancement point.
Skill enhancement points: You can freely upgrade the skills you have learned to strengthen your abilities. ”
"Whew..."
Xia Ming let out a long sigh when he looked at the system prompt, and wiped the blood stains on his face with his thumb, it was really hanging. His respect from the bottom of his heart for Vasily, a hero of World War II, was stronger than he could have imagined...
Tired, he stood up and walked over to the corpse and took off his helmet. Looking at the bullet marks on the helmet, he sighed secretly.
He felt that these snipers were fighting with strong faith.
They don't have any skills, but they can still shoot such a sharp shot, which is definitely respectable.
"Oh no, it's over!!"
But at this moment, Xia Ming's hair suddenly stood on end all over his body, and his heart beat faster. He had a strong feeling of being targeted, and even felt that his head was about to bloom.
I didn't expect there to be another person inside, it's really too careless! Thought that Vasily was dead, and that the mission was complete and that it would be time to take a breather.
Subconsciously lying down, Xia Ming touched his head and broke out in a cold sweat.
I didn't see God, and even he didn't believe it... Because it really seemed like he saw the muzzle of a gun.
Is it a delusion??
Xia Ming took out the periscope from his bag...
The muzzle of the gun was still there, and it was aimed very precisely in its own direction.
Why not shoot?? Xia Ming also had a lot of questions. But in any case, he picked up a life.
Anna sat weakly at the window, but she still didn't fire the shot.
He picked up Nova's discarded helmet and put it on his head, closed his eyes and raised his head slightly. On the one hand, he is a sinner of the country, and on the other hand, he has saved the person he loves in his heart.
She's just a simple dancer, and she can't bear such a heavy burden in her heart. Since she couldn't fire this shot, she was already doomed to a tragic fate. Anna is a very smart person, she knows that Vasily, as a hero of state propaganda, will definitely not recognize his death from the country. As a member of the squad, she doesn't have to think about what kind of fate she can have when she goes back.
In this case, being able to die under Xia Ming's gun felt that it was her best destination.
“...”
Xia Ming saw a soldier leaning out of the window. Quickly set up the rifle..
It shouldn't seem like a trap to him. What's more, the other party already knows his definite location, so there is no need to test it again.
But he had a strange feeling that the other party wanted him to shoot.
"What the hell?" Xia Ming's fingers against the trigger never pressed down.
Since he didn't shoot just now, no matter what the reason, Xia Ming wouldn't shoot this shot.
Thinking of this, he quickly withdrew his rifle. Now that the mission is accomplished, there's no point in staying here. He has no interest in killing people now, because there is no related task anymore.
But just as he was about to move, a shot from the other side hit the wall above his head.
Xia Ming squatted under the wall very unhappily. This man was very sick.
Pulling the periscope out again, he was surprised to find that the other party was already standing in front of the window. Although he wears a heavy military uniform, he has a slightly slender figure and does not seem to be a male soldier.
It's just that he was wearing a helmet and deliberately covering it, and Xia Ming couldn't see his appearance.
His current behavior is death.
Do you want to die like that??
Xia Ming observed him carefully, and soon he discovered a fact that shocked him.
This person is Anna! He's 100 percent sure.
Even if she hides her figure, she can't hide her eyes.
The eyes as clear as the sea impressed Xia Ming too much.
Once she thinks of the answer, all her images can be perfectly docked, and she can't hide Xia Ming's strong observation.
"Maybe she didn't shoot me because she wanted to repay me. I'm really lucky, it seems that a good person is really rewarded, after all, I saved her twice. She couldn't shoot, and she certainly couldn't go back. So..."
Xia Ming quickly figured it out.. Did Anna want to borrow her own hand and die?
As his own hidden mission, how could Xia Ming shoot her? There are definitely a lot of secrets in this woman, isn't she a dancer? How did she suddenly become a skilled female warrior??
The person who can make Xia Ming feel the threat of death can't be an ordinary character.
He is determined to unlock Anna's secrets.
Thinking of this, Xia Ming put down his rifle, took off his helmet, and stood up boldly. He pointed to his eyes very sincerely, spread his hands, and looked at the other side.
He's been dead once anyway, and he's sure Anna won't be able to fire the first shot and won't shoot again. He wants to impress her with sincerity.
Anna looked at Xia Ming so calmly facing herself and bit her lip gently. She understood what Xia Ming meant, he had already seen his identity.
It is indeed not an easy task to hide such a powerful sniper.
She took off her helmet and her military cap. The short blonde hair makes her more heroic and less charming... It's a shame that I have long blond hair like a waterfall, but it's still so beautiful...
If this was a reality, Xia Ming believed that he had a crush on her a long time ago.
Who doesn't love this kind of woman?
