Chapter 11: Sniping
Peru, on the edge of the Amazon forest, where the Andes Mountains stretch. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info a mine that is simply marked by adventurers as Cave 3, and it is full of strange things that I have never seen in my life. It is said that it was once one of the largest gold and silver mines of the Inca Empire, and after more than 450 years of abandonment, for a number of reasons, the place has once again attracted attention and a group of professionally trained adventurers have made it a paradise for exploration.
A few months ago, when I chose to change jobs because I was worried that I would not be able to get sick, I never imagined that in such a short period of time, my worldview and outlook on life would be completely overturned.
According to the detector, the average height of Cave 3 is about 89.7 meters, and the minimum height difference is more than 31 meters, and the largest height difference we have seen so far is the location of the jellyfish corpse flower, from the top of the cave to the bottom of the cliff more than 280 meters, from the top of the cliff to the turbulent river, there is a drop of 200 meters.
Shirley is a very generous person who is extremely loyal to her approved partners, and I know this very well after the last 20 hours of being together.
The strange bird that glimpsed in the electronic screen is always like a shadow, hanging over our hearts. To get the jellyfish on the cliff face, we have to descend from the top of the mountain, and the only thing we can do to be safe in the process is to kill the strange birds, but this is not easy.
"Brother Zhiyuan is right, head-to-head, our force will definitely not be able to resist the three-and-a-half-star monster, and secretly sniping will be our only way." Shirley agreed with me.
"So the question is, how do you find a suitable sniper spot?" I say.
Shirley looked at me, her big eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and she said for a long time: "We have a lot of problems to consider, the first is how to choose a location, right now, we have only one weapon that can kill strange birds, and that is Guangwu Super Black Hawk." Hopefully, this one-star weapon will help us break through the monster bird's defenses. ”
Well, hearing this, I couldn't help but nodded: "It's just that the range of the Super Black Hawk is limited, and if you want to hurt the strange bird, I'm afraid you need to make very accurate calculations and wait with great patience." ”
As you can imagine, this will be a very dangerous thing, this matter is related to my survival, there is no reason to let others take risks, so I said to Shirley: "The task of ambushing the monster bird will be left to me in the end!" "In the past few hours, I have a preliminary grasp of the guns of the Super Black Hawk, and at the same time, I have my own understanding of the use of pocket watches.
After trial and error, I found that I now have two very peculiar abilities, the first of which is "Time Pause", which can be applied to a wide range of things, whether it is living or non-living beings. However, this ability is still constrained by external conditions, and the stronger the external force, the weaker my ability to pause.
For example, if two objects fall from a high altitude at the same time, the same feather and the same stone, I can pause the feather for up to three seconds, but for a stone over 100 kilograms, I can only pause for about one second. 100 kilograms multiplied by height and multiplied by gravitational acceleration, through such a simple test, I can more intuitively calculate the external forces that I can control.
The second ability is "time compression", which is a very interesting phenomenon, originally from the Super Black Hawk bullets, the speed is about 300 / second, but through the compression of time, the speed of the Super Black Hawk can be increased by more than 4 times, within a second, the limit distance of the Super Black Hawk is 1200 meters, almost catching up with the sniper rifle. But unfortunately, the Super Black Hawk has a limited range and does not have many chances to break through the kilometer.
It was only four hours, so the location was very important to us. In order not to disturb the strange bird that did not know where to hide, we adopted a roundabout approach, except for me and Miss Nurse, Shirley and the three of them changed into sniper rifles with the longest range, and we were unmanned, in a distance of about a kilometer, choose the altitude, and then disperse the personnel.
The little nurse was left a kilometer away to pick up the messenger after the mission.
Two mercenaries armed with British AIAWM sniper rifles, with a range of up to 1500 meters, the two occupy a high ground respectively, forming a trend that echoes each other, although it is said to be a high ground, but once the strange bird takes off, we are facing a situation that is still low and high, not dominant. But the good news is that due to the limitations of the top of the cave, as long as the strange bird is active near the cliff, in terms of depth, the strange bird will not fly too high and exceed our range.
In order to meet the range requirements of the Super Black Hawk, after assigning the tasks of the two mercenaries, Shirley and I continued to move forward, and out of trust, Shirley finally agreed to give me the task of sniping monster birds, and repeatedly reminded me to be careful. About 1,000 meters from the edge of the cliff, the two of us began to feel a strong aura, this aura came from the bottom of the cliff, and it was probably our target, the three-and-a-half-star strange bird.
Shirley chose a hiding place, then frowned, and reminded me anxiously: "Brother Zhiyuan, once the strange bird appears, we will start shooting from the outermost mercenary to attract its attention, you only have one chance, if you don't succeed, run quickly, and I will shoot to cover you during your retreat." "Shirley is a two-star adventurer, with the ability to specialize in firearms, and the sniper rifle in her hand can exert a very good power, as long as Shirley can shoot, she will definitely be able to contain the strange birds, I am convinced of this.
Shirley's guns are extremely damaging, and if she is given light martial arts, this little girl can also hit the weakness of 1 or 2 star monsters with one shot and kill them.
"Okay, I'll try to do it!" After all, it's all about my own survival, so I'm not kidding.
"Then, I wish Brother Zhiyuan success!" Shirley smiled at me, "If we succeed in killing the Strange Bird, Brother Zhiyuan, you will become the first ordinary person to successfully kill a 3-and-a-half-star monster!" It's a great time. Shirley said, taking out a small camera, and said to me, "This is the battlefield recorder, I need to remember the great moments!" ”
"Hope is greatness, not moments of embarrassment." I smiled slightly, said goodbye to Shirley, and under the tremendous pressure, with a pounding heartbeat, I slowly moved forward more than 100 meters.
The distance of 900 meters is the maximum range of the improved Super Black Hawk, and in less than a second, through time compression, I can hit any target.
After a step-by-step move, we finally decided on our respective targets, hiding behind a huge reddish-brown rock, my heart was full of excitement, I don't know why, I had a good premonition that I would succeed this time. It's like participating in a high jump competition in college, and when you face a gradually improving hurdle, you know if you can make it.
When everything was ready, I turned to look at where my companions were hiding, and I made a gesture to the crowd to get ready to start. This is the first time I have participated in such an operation, and I am indeed a little excited.
Whether a battle can be successful or not does not depend on the length of time, and victory or defeat is often only in an instant. After making sure everyone was in order, I glanced at my left leg, then took out a 0.7-meter-long glow stick from behind my back, folded it, stimulated it, and then threw it into the cliff with a flick of my arm, and for a moment a cherry red color flashed through the sky like a ribbon, and then fell into the valley.
Just a second later, the suffocating pressure suddenly skyrocketed, and a hoarse birdsong came from the bottom of the cliff, and at the same time, a smell of moisture and corruption from the valley came to our faces, but in the blink of an eye, a dark figure had appeared in front of us.
As seen on the screen, this strange bird is thin, bald, and has ruthless eyes, although I am sure that I have hidden well, but under the look of this strange bird, I still have a feeling of being seen through, and I can't help but feel a chill in my heart. The strange bird was much bigger than expected, with wings spread out, and it was more than two meters long.
The strange bird flew up from the bottom of the cliff and hovered at a height of about 50 meters from the top of the cliff, and if I took the strange bird as a vertex of the triangle, the vertical height was high, and the distance between my hiding place and the edge of the cliff was the side, it was easy to calculate the distance between the strange bird and us.
The strange bird came quickly, could fly a long distance with a slight movement of its wings, and required almost no command, and when the target appeared in our field of vision, the outermost mercenary and Shirley fired their guns at the same time.
The opponents are very strong and the only thing we can do is look for a quick fix.
Despite the sniper skills of the three Shelly, we greatly underestimated the Strange Bird's abilities, and when faced with a surprise attack, the Strange Bird was covered with a gray-black transparent mist, similar to the mist we saw when we looked down from the edge of the cliff.
Boom!
The strange bird sensed our threat, but put on a posture of contempt, and for a moment, an invisible pressure enveloped each of us. My hands gripped only the pocket watch and the Super Black Hawk, and I stared coldly into the eyes of the strange bird. I always feel that it sees me, but I can't waver, and a slight bow of my head means failure.
Shirley struck one of the bird's eyes with precision, closing its eyes slightly every time a bullet hit its eye. In the first ten seconds, our three sniper rifles had a certain advantage in the assault, and the strange bird spread its wings in the air, and although it was arrogant, it looked like a mighty warrior with a shield against the stones, and a sharp blade in his hand, waiting to counterattack.
It soon became clear to me that I had only one chance, and that was when the Strange Bird switched from defense to offense.
Sniper rifles don't fire in bursts like regular rifles, and once the three snipers around me have a certain deviation in the time of attacking, then the strange bird will get a chance to attack.
In the same way, the mistakes of my companions were my chances. In this life-and-death struggle, such a situation is somewhat intriguing.
