Chapter 449: Murder in Silence
The camp is located on the sunny side of a small hill with a back to a ten-metre-high cliff.
Lin Xuan looked in all directions, and although the cliff played a role in blocking the wind, it left an excellent attack point for the enemy. If the swift gnomes occupy the top of the mountain, the entire camp will be subjected to an all-pervasive attack.
He divided his nine soldiers into three groups, one to guard the east, one to the west, and the other to guard the top of the hill with him.
Tian Meng led people to the south, and there was no need to defend in that direction for the time being.
"I'll go with you to the top of the mountain, too." Vivien said.
Lin Xuan shook his head: "You pacify everyone in the camp, load each bullet, and protect yourself." β
Vivien shook her head stubbornly, "No, I'm going to be with you." Before leaving, General Tian said, "You want me to take good care of you." β
In front of everyone, this girl is not shy, and her thoughts have been revealed.
Lin Xuan had no intention of provoking the love thread, but since Vivian was so insistent, if he refused again, he would not be able to get off the stage for the other party.
"Okay, you come with me, let's go our separate ways." With a wave of his hand, he walked around the tent and climbed the east path to the top of the mountain.
Vivien was the first to follow, following closely behind Lin Xuan.
"If there is a war, hide behind me." Lin Xuan commanded in a deep voice.
Vivien agreed loudly, and then lowered her voice and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you know why they all obey your arrangement?" β
Lin Xuan frowned and shook his head.
Vivien asked herself, "Because General Tian said that there are two commanders in this camp, and your status is higher than her." β
Lin Xuan was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Tian Meng trusted him so much.
After walking a few steps, Vivien said to herself: "The most welcome thing in our 51 area is an explorer like you, who has both thinking wisdom and the ability to act beyond ordinary people. I have checked the 'Top 100 Masters List' in the 51 region since its establishment, and compared your previous work achievements, and it is easy to draw conclusions. If you can join the 51 region, you must be in the top five of the god list. You know, working in that position, you are likely to enter the upper echelons of the military and become a big man in history......"
Lin Xuan didn't answer, because it wasn't a topic he was interested in.
Jianghu masters are divided into many levels, like the kind of masters Vivian said, pursuing a series of goals of "entering the 51 region, becoming famous, looking at the world, and attracting the attention of all people", and finally becoming a legendary "celebrity" - that is not what Lin Xuan wants.
If a person is kidnapped on the chariot of fame and fortune, it will become very terrible, not only will he lose his peace of mind as a human being, but he will also push himself to the point of no return.
As Lao Tzu said in the thirty-third chapter of the Tao Te Ching: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong. Those who are content are rich, and those who are forced have ambitions. Those who do not lose their place will live for a long time, and those who die will not die.
This passage is the supreme motto of being a human being: a wise man can understand others, and a wise man can see himself clearly. Those who are strong can defeat others with brute force, and those who are strong in heart can overcome themselves. Those who are content are rich in heart, and those who are tenacious and hardworking have lofty ambitions. People who are inseparable from the law of words and deeds can live a long time, and those who live forever in their bodies but in spirit are truly long-lived.
What Lin Xuan wants is "great wisdom and great feelings", not just his own achievements.
This is absolutely consistent with the highest goal of the organization - to strive for the peace and happiness of all mankind, sacrificing the ego when necessary to achieve the ego.
"Mr. Lin, why don't you speak?" Vivien stepped closer.
"I was thinking that only by getting out of the snowy mountains alive could I talk about the future. You tell me? Lin Xuan replied with a smile.
"Of course, we can get out of the snowy mountain alive, and there are still several projects waiting for us to finish at the headquarters." Vivien said confidently.
Lin Xuan looked back, and the three soldiers also had disapproving smiles on their faces, as if they were disdainful of his argument of "getting out of the Great Snow Mountain alive".
Lin Xuan strode up to the top of the mountain and looked down at the valley to the north.
The valley was also covered with snow, and it was white for three hundred meters.
Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, on the snow-white background, as long as those black gnomes appeared, their whereabouts would be immediately revealed.
"The three of you, hide on the left, center, and right, if an enemy appears, be sure to wait until the opponent is within forty meters before shooting." He commanded in a low voice.
The three soldiers were all under 30 years old, with submachine guns on their chests and long snipers on their backs.
"Mr. Lin, who are we going to deal with?" A shorter soldier asked.
"It's a couple of gnomes, but you have to remember that they're not people, they're some kind of alien animal." Lin Xuan replied.
This was the most appropriate description, but the soldier still didn't understand: "Aren't gnomes human?" Which country do they belong to? Is it a civilian or a bandit? β
Vivian sank her face: "William, don't ask too much, what Mr. Lin said is the supreme order." β
The soldier lowered his head and walked to the ambush position on the right.
Lin Xuan raised his hand and took off the long sniper behind the soldier.
"This is the latest new sniper rifle that the Pentagon has equipped with us, with an effective range of 1,500 meters, and its accuracy exceeds that of all previous sniper rifles." The soldier explained.
Vivien was even more displeased: "William, go and do your own thing, can Mr. Lin not understand this?" β
William smiled awkwardly and stepped into his place, leaning over the snow.
Lin Xuan understood that these soldiers were all gunsmiths from the 51st region, and they refused to submit to others lightly. If you want them to obey orders, you have to show some real skills. However, his mind now is not to convince these soldiers, but to pay attention to the whereabouts of those dwarves.
Until now, he blames himself for opening Pandora's box.
In fact, as a responsible explorer and a peace-loving master affiliated with the organization, he always followed the principle of "being strict with himself and treating others with leniency", forcing himself to do everything to the best of his ability, and carrying many responsibilities that did not belong to him on his shoulders.
For example, this time, he was commissioned by the organization to go to Tibet to explore the secrets of the "axis of the earth", and after nine deaths, he escaped from a crack in the mountain. If he is an ordinary person, he must be ecstatic after the catastrophe, but there is no trace of joy in his heart, only heavy reflection.
"Don't accuse them, Vivien, you're your own people, I'm not." Lin Xuan had something to say.
More than one person had persuaded him to join District 51 before, and the reward and rebellion funds were as high as eight figures, but he had never been moved.
"Of course you are your own person, General Tian said, if you join the 51 region, your official position in the future will definitely be much higher than her. Your talents are visible to all, and like the sun's brilliance, they cannot be hidden. Vivien complimented heartily.
The soldier named "William" sneered, didn't say much, and his disdain was overflowing.
The valley is quiet, except for the occasional large eagle passing by at low altitude, and the rest of the qiΔ is like a still landscape painting.
"Mr. Lin." William stood up lazily, "It doesn't seem to be much use for us to ambush here. β
The other two soldiers also became slack under his influence, and one of them rolled over, stretched his limbs comfortably on the snow, and stretched out for a long time.
Lin Xuan lay down behind a half-meter-high snow wall, his sniper rifle poking out of the observation hole, motionless and aimed at the most hollow part of the valley directly in front of him.
He had a hunch that the calmer the surface, the more dangerous the inside, and what he saw in his current vision was the dead silence before the war.
"I heard General Tian say that Mr. Lin is a big man in the roster of Asian military masters, when will we see it? I will say one thing, you certainly can't argue with it. This sniper rifle is the latest addition from three months ago, and you've been missing in the mountains for almost six months, so you haven't seen the latest weapon. No matter how high the master is, when you encounter some new gadgets that you haven't touched before, it's always not easy to use, right? William said slightly defiantly.
Lin Xuan didn't refute, but nodded lightly: "That's right." β
William laughed evilly: "So, it's better for me to control this gun?" β
Lin Xuan shook his head: "I guess you have all heard such a sentence in military training, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapons, but no matter how sharp your weapon is, you must rely on the head behind the sniper scope to control it." β
William's face changed: "You mean, your head is smarter than mine?" β
Lin Xuan patted the handle of the spear and replied patiently: "I didn't mean that, but please remember that a real sniper master should not always regard the gun as just a 'gun', but as a part of the human body." The sniper scope is your eyes, the body of the gun is your arm, and the bullet is the hidden weapon that you send out when you shake your hand. It has life, spirit, and warmth, and if you treat it well, it will do its best to help you kill the enemy. Unable to do this, no matter how clear the sniper scope is, no matter how accurate the ruler is, how well the mechanical parts are maintained, and how standard the action when shooting - it is impossible to kill the enemy with a single bullet within 1,500 meters. β
These theories are not taught by instructors in special forces schools, but are epiphany developed by a master of actual combat in thousands of complex battles, and repeatedly tempered by the lessons of blood and fire, death and bloodshed.
William shrugged his shoulders: "What you said is just 'the feeling of the gun, the feeling of the eyes and the feeling of the hand', why describe it as godly?" You Chinese like to play tricks. β
From these words, it can be seen that William was a stubborn man.
Lin Xuan sighed, because he knew that it was useless to say more. For William, every feeling of a master is to play the piano to the cow.
He looked down at the sniper rifle, which was improved from the M40A5 in the US sniper rifle family, and should be regarded as the most advanced long-distance hunting weapon at present.
Before entering Tibet, Lin Xuan had carried out several special missions in Southeast Asia, and each time he used a sniper weapon.
At that time, he used the M40A3 in the American weapon gun family the most, the gun was finalized and produced in 2001, based on the Remington 700BDL, the butt was a McMillan A4 fiberglass stock, the bullet was a modified M118LR long-range bullet, using a 24-inch length, 6 right-handed rifling 1:12 heavy barrels, and the scope was Schmidt? Bender 3-12x50 Policemark**Aniilp type with a KN200 night vision sight.
The user manual of the M40A3 claims that it can accurately shoot the target at a distance of 1,000 to 1,200 meters, but according to Lin Xuan's experience, killing people within 1,000 meters is already very difficult, and 1,200 meters is the theoretical number in the real room.
In sniper warfare, Lin Xuan can ensure that he will kill within 500 meters, and the bullet will not miss within 800 meters, and the distance depends on the specific situation.
He also used the M40A5, which was the latest modification of the M40A3, and the main improvements were in three places: the addition of a muzzle device, the ability to use the SureFire quick-release muffler; The front rail has been added, which makes it possible to add a PGWPVS-22 night vision device in front of the white light sight; The fixed magazine was changed to a detachable magazine with a capacity of 10 rounds, and due to the use of a magazine, there was a magazine jam in front of the trigger retainer.
Overall, the M40 series of sniper rifles is not only the best in the American gun family, but also quite advanced in technology in the world, on a par with the Russian SVD series of sniper rifles.
The military game of the great powers is not only in the high-precision and sophisticated weapons, but also in the classification of light weapons, and it is also accelerating research and development, and introducing new ones every year.
The barrel, body, and handle of this long sniper in Lin Xuan's hand have more reasonable appearance proportions and weight distribution, and it brings a very good "feel" as soon as you get started. In addition, the images and tick marks in the sniper scope are exceptionally clear, without any blurred dead ends, just like watching an HDTV.
"I hope to see Mr. Lin's wonderful performanceβ" William winked at the other two companions.
It was obvious that he was waiting to see Lin Xuan's joke.
The bloodiest killing began in silence, and William, who was lazily walking towards Lin Xuan, suddenly stopped and screamed in tears: "Ahh
In fact, he only screamed halfway, because from the time he opened his mouth to scream, his body had been cut in half from top to bottom, neatly separated from left and right, and fell down. The second half of the sound is just a bleak aftersound, changing tone and tone, and it sounds very weird.
"There are enemies!" Vivien screamed.
Almost at the same time that William was killed, Lin Xuan drew his pistol with his backhand and shot continuously at the shadow behind William.
It was a dwarf covered in ice and snow, and after a high-speed evolution, he was still only three feet tall.
Lin Xuan shot fast, the dwarf hid quickly, and after hunting William, he quickly rolled and retreated, half of his body was hidden in the snow, and the snow blocks rolled up by his hands and feet also disturbed Lin Xuan's vision.
After five bullets, the gnome vanished, leaving only William's bloody corpse in the snow.
Lin Xuan rushed forward, examining the route of the dwarf's escape, convinced that the five bullets were in vain.
Vivien was already frightened, her face turned pale and she trembled.
"Bury him." Lin Xuan instructed the other two.
The two servicemen put down their spears, took out the sapper shovels in their backpacks, and quickly buried the bodies.
