The shadows gradually dispersed, and the unknown object that had made the sound before gradually revealed its original appearance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info black and white fluffy covered this small and soft body, and Xia Lu, who was still unsatisfied with the sleeping face of the new song, was not aware of the sudden invasion of the object, and stretched her waist on the ground with her belly exposed. After seeing this American curly-eared cat with a smooth coat as new, Xia Lu's vigilance in her heart was reduced by half at once, and the butterfly knife in her hand shook twice and put away the blade and put it back in her pocket. It seems that this bag should have fallen from somewhere while sleeping, but such an impact did not alleviate the little guy's sleepiness, there was no sense of wakefulness at all, and there was not even the scream that should have been made when it hit the ground, Xia Lu couldn't help but tilt her head and smile helplessly, and picked up the little guy from the ground, it seems that the temperature on Xia Lu's body made her enjoy it very much, and the cold Manhattan in November was in obvious contrast with the heat emitted by Xia Lu. Twisted twice in Xia Lu's arms, found a comfortable position and regrouped, and the fluffy ball became a ball.

Xia Lu was full of joy and hugged the kitten, which seemed to be only about three months old, and even forgot about the pursuers behind her. The sound of hurried footsteps still forced her to remember her current situation, but Xia Lu was still reluctant to let go of this new little friend. After stuffing the kitten into the trench coat, Xia Lu looked up at the place where the kitten had fallen, and a rusty staircase was just above Xia Lu's head. It seems to be just an escape route from the outside of the building, and there is also an iron ladder that can be retracted freely.

- Thank you so much.

Xia Lu touched the kitten's chin and thanked her in her heart, and the little guy raised his head very happily and let Xia Lu touch it.

The chasing soldier was in front of him, Xia Lu didn't have time to delay, retreated two steps back, aimed at the escape ladder on the red brick wall, slammed his left foot on the ground, his body began to accelerate on the plane, and after taking a distance of about two steps, his right foot collapsed suddenly, Xia Lu jumped up, but this height was obviously not enough to reach the lowest level of the telescopic escape ladder, but Xia Lu was not surprised, it should be said that this is the script that Xia Lu has arranged. The body has been attached to the wall, and the gravitational acceleration keeps pulling Xia Lu down, and the rising speed has slowed down sharply, but at this time, the speed in Xia Lu's eyes has slowed down slightly, she has time to react, her left foot slammed on the wall, and the red brick wall that has been experiencing more than forty years was kicked by this, and suddenly the bricks were splashed, and Xia Lu also used this short friction to kick up with her left leg again, and her body jumped high. Desperately straightening her right hand, Xia Lu grabbed the telescopic escape ladder with a look. Instead of pulling the telescopic ladder down, hold each step of the ladder with both hands and hang your feet in the air to climb upwards. Xia Lu, who has done professional training, is naturally not a problem, such a low-intensity climb is easy, but in ten seconds, Xia Lu climbed the rusty escape spiral.

The footsteps became louder and louder, and the figures of the gangsters appeared in the dead end, which can be said to be one after another, Xia Lu had just stood firm on the platform, and the gangsters came to the mouth of the dead end, looked inside, and after confirming that there was no one in the dead end, they turned around and left in the opposite direction. Xia Lu let out a soft breath.

Seemingly successful in throwing off the pursuers, Xia Lu began to walk towards the roof of the building. The narrow and winding escape staircase will pass through the windows of every house, although this building is old, but after all, it is built on the street, and there are still people living in it, so Xia Lu tries to take her steps as lightly as possible, but the collision between high-heeled leather boots and pig iron will inevitably make a sound. Thankfully, the bustling streets of Manhattan are bumped in and out of traffic, and the sound of roaring engines obscures the insignificant click.

The kitten on the chest seemed to think that it was uncomfortable to be sandwiched between two soft objects, stretched out a slender and short front paws, stretched its waist, opened its pink and tender little mouth, yawned, and then fell asleep again.

The view from the top of the building is excellent, and all the streets that Xia Lu doesn't know what to call can be taken into view, and it seems that this is the target location mentioned in the information. Looking at the watch on his wrist, at 10:21 p.m., the mission start time is half past ten, the Assassin will appear in the café across the street, all you have to do now is check your equipment and wait quietly. However, Xia Lu felt that things were not so simple, a year ago in the Tokyo headquarters to get the white light in his hand Dragonov's barrel discounted is obviously a sniper rifle shot by the light armor-piercing bullet, which means that the assassin is a sniper companion, although this time it is not stated in the information, but the sniper who felt the surveillance in the morning on Wall Street was brought by the sniper.

However, Xia Lu didn't care about this matter, after all, Xia Lu didn't feel that someone was spying on her now, as long as she concentrated on completing the task in front of her. The effective range of the Dragunov semi-automatic sniper rifle is 600 meters, and the width of this adjustment plus the height difference caused by the depression angle can add up to a hundred meters away, at such a distance, the wind speed, humidity and heartbeat will not have much impact on the sniper takeover, so as long as the assassin's head is placed on the front sight of the PSO-1 scope, and the trigger is pulled, the moment the bullet passes through the assassin's brain, it will be regarded as revenge for Ye Zifeng.

Laying out the cotton blanket and only opening the tripod, Xia Lu stepped back as far as she could until she aimed at the window of the café, and Xia Lu stopped and used her current location as a gathering point. The key to solo sniping is to enter the sniper position in advance, make all preparations before the enemy appears, and make a detailed judgment on the range of the sniper target. After making the final measurement of the café with a telescope, Xia Lu lay on the cotton blanket, closed her left eye and brought her right eye closer to the scope, the world in the scope was as clear as new, and in the café in the distance, the expressions on the faces of the guests, the subtle movements, all under Xia Lu's eyes. Xia Lu enjoyed the feeling as if God was watching over the world.

At 10:26, the target appeared, and although I don't know why the Assassin actually came back to this café, I don't want to leave since I came. Xia Lu pulls the bolt, and a 7N14 is pushed into the chamber, the firing pin is pulled apart, and the safety is released.

At 10:28, after Assassin expertly ordered a cup of coffee, he waited for the waiter to serve the drink, but in Xia Lu's eyes, this seemed to be waiting for someone, and the view of the seat facing the street was very good, but Assassin stared at the empty seat opposite in a daze, which was really creepy.

At 10:29, a figure appeared in Xia Lu's field of vision, the white coat he was wearing looked a little familiar, and after this person entered the café, he sat directly opposite the assassin, and after quickly ordering a drink, he began to talk to the assassin. The long black hair scattered behind her back really surprised Xia Lu, this person really looks like Ye Kexin, no, she is Ye Kexin! Xia Lu gasped.

At ten thirty o'clock, when the task time came, Xia Lu did not hesitate, pulled the trigger, but it was not the assassin who was hit first, but himself, a subtle light flashed in the distance, followed by a miserable white light that accurately hit Xia Lu's right front less than a centimeter, and the splashing of stone brick debris and smoke covered Xia Lu's eyes, and the subconscious self-protection function made Xia Lu close his eyes, but the sniper rifle in his hand had been fired.

There was a muffled thud, and the bullet of the 7N14 lead core bullet flew towards the café with a slight cracking sound, but the muzzle of the gun, which was slightly raised due to the head down and the arm pulled down, did not hit the assassin, and the bullet grazed the top of the assassin's head and fired into the café, shattering the ivory white floor tiles. The guests were stunned for a moment, then fled the scene screaming, and the passers-by seemed to understand something, and immediately found a cover such as a telephone pole or a garbage can to hide to prevent the next bullet from hitting them. However, the assassin didn't move, obviously knowing the result, he calmly picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a shallow sip of the coffee in the cup, while Ye Kexin, who was sitting opposite him, looked a little surprised, and threw a surprised look in the direction where the bullet came.

"Damn it!" Xia Lu cursed quietly, and slammed the ground with her right fist.

Snipers only have a chance to shoot a bullet, once missed, it is a failure, some snipers see sniping as art and life, and even commit suicide after another sniper failure, although this is only a special case, but this also shows the importance of the unknown first bullet, once you lose this opportunity, the enemy will find you.

Xia Lu naturally knew this rule, but before the assassin died, Xia Lu's task would not end, she worked hard to get up, pulled the bolt, withdrew the cartridge case from the chamber, and a new bullet was loaded, Xia Lu aimed at the assassin's temple again. Ye Kexin had already discovered Xia Lu's location, and waved his arm at Xia Lu with an anxious look on his face, as if to say not to shoot, but Xia Lu had no time to estimate this matter, and pulled the trigger again, and the lead core bullet was discharged, and it flew out towards the assassin's temple.

Another white flash flashed, this time a little far away from Xia Lu, but I don't know if it was a coincidence or superb technology, this light-dragging armor-piercing bullet actually cut into the trajectory of 7N14, and there was a crisp sound, and a trace of sparks burst out.

"Impossible." Xia Lu shouted, looking at the collision point in front of him, although it was less than a thousandth of a second, but the trace of sparks that was not easy to catch was still printed in Xia Lu's eyes, and the warheads of the two bullets actually collided together. The rifling invented by the Englishman Metford makes the bullet rotate like a spinning top and fly in a straight line after it is discharged, in fact, Metford was indeed invented by the interesting phenomenon that the spinning top rotates along a central axis at high speed without falling to the ground. The end of the flight is spinning, which will undoubtedly drive the surrounding air, so that the bullet is in the center of a minicyclone, and foreign objects will be affected by this microcyclone and deviate from the original orbit, not to mention two identical warheads colliding with each other. Even if theoretically, it is entirely possible for bullets to collide, but in reality, it is impossible to do this even if the muzzles of two guns are facing each other.

The faint sound of gunfire came into the ears of the lower road three seconds after the bullets collided, although it was very small, but Xia Lu could still hear this incongruous timbre, which shocked Xia Lu even more. The speed of sound transmission is 340 meters per second, and when you hear the sound of gunfire after three seconds, it means that the position of the opponent's sniper is at least 1,000 and 20 meters away from you, and such an ultra-long-range shot can even hit a warhead that is flying at high speed and has a volume of less than two cubic centimeters.

Gritting his teeth tightly and weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Xia Lu did not hesitate, pulled the bolt of Dragunov's gun again, and the third bullet was loaded.

"Hey, I said, you better hurry up, that girl doesn't seem to want to give up." Archer was lying on the roof of a building, holding a telescope and looking at Xia Lu on the roof of Sancheng small building, he couldn't help sighing, pushed out the bullet case in the chamber of the L115A3 next to him, and pushed the bolt back to its original position forcefully, a bullet was loaded, and the 8.59mm Magnum bullet was pushed into the chamber with a click, and the emperor of the sniper rifle was ready to fire.

"No problem, I'm relieved to have you." Assassin said coldly, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, and then focused his pupils at Ye Kexin opposite him, revealing a grim smile, "How about it, have you thought about it, this can be said to be the first cooperation between the 'New Federation' and the Admiralty, and everyone will be happy." ”

"What do you think?" Ye Kexin sat opposite the assassin with great anxiety, twisting around in the seat uncomfortably, frowning slightly, and his teeth tightened.

"So you mean, disagree?" The assassin said coldly, it was still a little warm, the pupils became cold and dim, and the place where the eyes passed seemed to release ice magic, the temperature plummeted, and the Kelvin degree was only like this, which may make people find the only object that is colder than the "Retrograde Stick Nebula".

His eyes swept over Ye Kexin, Ye Kexin didn't shudder, but the resoluteness in his eyes became more and more obvious, and the expression on his face was also firm and abnormal.

"It's impossible, we can work with the UN, but we just can't work with you." Ye Kexin said categorically, "This is a matter of principle. ”

"yes, that's really, nerve-wracking." The Assassin held his head with one hand and smiled helplessly, "But you have to be clear, your good friend's life is in my hands. ”

"You ......" Ye Kexin was suddenly surprised, and his face immediately turned to the roof of the third-story apartment opposite, his face was indescribably anxious, and when he looked at the assassin again, the intersection on his face had turned into pleading.

"Can you change the conditions, please ......" Ye Kexin gritted her teeth, "Don't hurt her." ”

"On different terms?" The assassin gently repeated Ye Kexin's words, "Okay, hand over the Admiralty to me." ”

"What a joke!" Ye Kexin took the case.

Negotiations between the two reached an impasse.

Xia Lu, who aimed again but didn't pull the trigger for a long time, looked at Ye Kexin, and immediately realized that something was wrong, the eyes of the assassin in the scope were cold, and the tip of the dagger on the cuff had already revealed a cold light, but now Xia Lu couldn't do anything, his bullet would be shot down as soon as it came out, and the last time the other party hit his bullet was definitely not a coincidence, like this kind of peerless magic that has not been tempered by thousands of tempers must not be attributed to coincidence.

-- What are the countermeasures?

Xia Lu was thinking desperately, and her brain was working fast.

The opponent's goal should be to protect the Assassin, which means that the bullet that shoots me down will be the first condition, and although I don't know if he will shoot me at some point, there is no doubt that he will shoot down every bullet I shoot at the Assassin. At such a distance, it will definitely not be an ordinary sniper rifle, there are only four long-range sniper rifles with an effective range of more than one kilometer in Xia Lu's memory, and it has always been the M200 known as the "Grim Reaper", the "Emperor of Sniper Rifles" L115A3, and the TAC-50 produced by McMillan in the United States, and then there is the XM109. In addition to the XM109, the remaining three long-range sniper rifles all use rotary pull-back shooting, and it can be seen from the bullet collision effect just now that the pair is not using 12.7×99mmNOTA bullets, so it will not be the XM109 sniper rifle, and the remaining three guns are all rotary pull-back shots, so ......

- Rate of fire, it's rate of fire!

Xia Lu found the key to the problem, even if the design is accurate, there must be a bullet in the chamber of the gun, the rotary pull-back gunfire is to prevent semi-automatic shooting, the use of bullets and ammunition when the explosion of the storm to make the gun automatically complete the unloading action, the accuracy and range of the bullet has an impact on the research and formation of the fully enclosed bolt, each shot must do a disembowel action. This bolt has obvious advantages, long range and high accuracy, but the disadvantage is more obvious, that is, the rate of fire is slow, and the rifles that used long rifle cartridges in World War II are basically this bolt fire.

Well, Gragonov's unloading action only requires a pull of the bolt, and the time gap between this is absolutely irreparable.

Xia Lu began to move, the muzzle of the gun slowly aimed at the Assassin's temple, and her finger was on the trigger.

"Be careful, that girl is going to move again, this time she may have figured out a way to deal with me." Archer put the binoculars down, picked up the L115A3 beside him, and aimed at Xia Lu.

"I'm relieved to have you there." Assassin is still the same as before, and it seems that he trusts Archer very much.

"You'd better be on guard, I'm afraid something will happen." Archer reminded him, staring nervously at the muzzle of Dragonov's gun, and as soon as the fire flashed, Archer opened fire.
