Chapter 824: Operation Landing on the Island (67)
It is impossible for the target to stay there all the time, so Du Guolong knows that he must hurry up and deal with this crucial blow.
The biggest trouble at the moment is that Du Guolong can't adjust and adapt to firearms.
After all, as a gunman, you have to adjust your firearm before you shoot.
This is not the case with ordinary firearms, let alone sniper rifles.
Generally speaking, mature snipers will conduct a series of test shots before carrying out a mission, and the purpose of this is to calibrate the accuracy of the firearm.
But in the current situation, Du Guolong obviously has no conditions for the calibration of the warm gun.
He had to take down the brute with one shot.
Otherwise, with this kind of ancient creature alertness, once it misses, the beast will properly detect the surrounding movements.
And once the saber-toothed tiger senses that something is wrong around you, it's going to be hard to find a good chance to snipe like you are now.
The crosshair in the mirror was already aimed at the animal's braincase, but considering the environmental factors, Du Guolong finally shifted the lens slightly to the left by about 0.3 centimeters.
Don't underestimate this 0.3 cm, it is quite a distance to fall on the target to stick to the tiger's side.
How to move, these are all carefully calculated by Du Guolong.
Shen Guoguo also locked the saber-toothed tiger tightly on the side.
The focus of his observation is different from that of Du Guolong.
Although the main task of the operation is to kill the beasts, Shen Guoguo is a biologist after all, and he is more focused on examining the actions related to the saber-toothed tiger.
There is no way, even if this is a species that does not belong to this era, even if it is a product that violates the return of nature, but to be able to reproduce such an animal from ancient times, Shen Guoguo still wants to take this opportunity to study it well.
After all, not everyone in this life has the opportunity to see a living saber-toothed tiger.
Shen Guoguo hoped that he could learn as much as possible about the animals before they died.
"Bang!" The gunfire came suddenly and quickly.
Shen Guoguo was carefully observing, and he never thought that a strange sound came from his ears.
Although the sniper rifle was equipped with a silencer, it still could not completely eliminate the movement caused by the shooting.
Fortunately, the silencer did not reduce the gunfire 100%, but it still minimized the noise of the gunshot.
This is very important!
Otherwise, if there is no silencer, Du Guolong will come up with it, and it will inevitably give an artificial alarm to the secret forces on the island.
"How? Did you hit it? Almost subconsciously, Lin Junfu blurted out.
His problems also bore up the rear garrison.
Everyone was nervous about the shooting results.
Especially Tang Hongxi, if he can go down the mountain smoothly this time, it really depends on Du Guolong's gun situation in the end.
"Hit!" Du Guolong did not speak, and it was Shen Guoguo who answered.
Hearing this, Lin Junfu's heart was slightly relaxed.
But before he could catch his breath, Du Guolong next to him pulled the bolt of the gun hard, and then said: "Damn!" This beast is not dead!! ”
When the words fell, Shen Guoguo hurriedly investigated.
In the footage, the saber-toothed tiger was nothing wrong as Shen Guoguo said, and the expected scene of the beast being shot and falling to the ground was not found.
On the contrary, its sharp teeth, which had been resting on the bark of the tree, stopped at this moment.
There's nothing to hesitate about, if you don't get a shot, then keep shooting.
It stands to reason that for a sniper, a shot that fails to kill the target is equivalent to a mission failure.
At this time, in order to ensure the safety of the operation, the firing site should be immediately moved.
But the situation is different now, because we don't know what the saber-toothed tiger is doing, it is not wise to move now.
Compared with humans, it is obvious that animals are more vigilant and have a stronger sense of prevention.
Therefore, this site of bone transfer cannot be safe, but may be exposed.
In addition to this, it is also crucial that sniping the saber-toothed tiger is a rare opportunity now.
If the beast retreats into the dense forest, then Du Guolong's side will lose his shooting vision.
One shot fell, although he failed to kill the beast, Du Guolong still hit the saber-toothed tiger accurately.
It's a bit awkward.
If you don't hit the saber-toothed tiger, that's fine. There is no need for Du Guolong to be as nervous as he is now.
But now it is different, Du Guolong successfully shot the target, but failed to achieve the expected kill damage.
This is tantamount to invisibly waking up the saber-toothed tiger and telling him that there are other living creatures in this mountain forest.
In order to prevent the beasts from entering the dense forest, Du Guolong resolutely pulled the trigger again.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot rang out.
Lin Junfu did not ask about the results again this time.
He stared at Du Guolong with both eyes, at this time, he only needed to keep an eye on Du Guolong, and if he looked at the reaction, he could basically know the result.
But the reality actually gave Lin Junfu an answer soon.
"Roar~" a deafening roar.
The saber-toothed tiger looked up to the sky and roared to the eardrums.
Hearing this, Du Guolong and the others were shocked.
Needless to say, Du Guolong's blow still failed to kill the beast.
"What kind of flesh is this guy, is it so hard? I knew that Lao Tzu would have brought an anti-materiel sniper rifle!! ”
Anti-materiel sniper rifles are used against vehicles.
But although the attack power of that thing is high, it is too heavy and not very convenient to carry.
In this operation, the four-person team mainly infiltrated the platoon, so Du Guolong chose a conventional sniper rifle.
This facilitates movement on the island.
Besides, the island is densely forested, and it is unlikely that they will encounter local heavy armor.
So it doesn't make much sense to carry an anti-materiel sniper rifle.
But who would have thought that the reality is always unexpected, and the surprise given by God is too great.
The appearance of the saber-toothed tiger broke the mold.
Du Guolong's marksmanship was very accurate, and his two shots hit the beast's head accurately.
You must know that this is still achieved by virtue of his ability to calibrate the accuracy of the gun without Du Guolong's conditions.
But Rao is like this, Rao is Du Guolong's accurate marksmanship, but he still failed to knock down the beast.
There is no other reason, but it can only be said that the defense of the saber-toothed tiger is too strong.
The thick leather armor on his body is natural body armor, and Du Guolong even suspects that it is harder than the clothes made by human high-tech production technology.
Shen Guoguo heard Du Guolong's inquiry, but he didn't answer.
It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's just that the beast's loud shout after the gunshot is too earth-shattering.
This is not counting, the most important thing is to observe through the telescope, after Du Guolong's gun rang out, the saber-toothed tiger who was shot turned his face and looked in his direction.
Shen Guoli could clearly see the red pupils in the beast's eyes.
Whether the saber-toothed tiger has discovered his own side, Shen Guoguo has no way of knowing.
But it is clear that the saber-toothed tiger is now aware of the crisis.
Even if the beast hadn't determined his own position, he obviously knew where the shot was coming from.
