The First Order-Chapter 747 - One-hit kill

Chapter 747 One-hit kill

The sudden attack from the Pyro Company lasted from noon until dusk.

Blood was spilled in the Sacred Mountains, and some people revealed their true bravery.

The Great Hoodwinker and the others had no intention of saving the others. Perhaps Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were afraid they were under too much pressure, so they took the initiative to lure away the Pyro Company’s reinforcements after the initial group of troops had been wiped out.

In that case, Luo Lan decided to make the best of this rare opportunity to rest and recuperate. After all, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin had risked their lives to fight for this opportunity for them. Luo Lan could not possibly take Ren Xiaosu’s good intentions and contribute it to others.

Furthermore, if another T5 combatant were to appear at this moment, they would probably end up in a pathetic state as well.

Ren Xiaosu stepped on some decomposing leaves as he headed southwards. Yang Xiaojin was walking in front of him and would occasionally examine their surroundings. Whenever they encountered a suitable ambush spot, they would stop in their tracks and deal another heavy blow to the Pyro Company’s forces behind them.

The Sacred Mountains was a very dangerous place, but the sunset here was very beautiful.

The two of them carried their sniper rifles as they walked down the mountain path. They were comrades fighting a guerrilla war, eating, resting, and killing their enemies together.

Perhaps the Pyro Company had not expected these two snipers could put so much pressure on their troops.

According to the original plan, the Pyro Company would fully suppress Cheng Yu, Wang Yun, and the others with the aid of their own snipers. Then they would slowly sap their strength and eventually wipe out the forces the Anjing House had sent into the Sacred Mountains.

But something went awry with the plan right from the beginning. Their snipers had been taken out.

In everyone’s opinion, the least expected problem with this plan was the appearance of snipers!

Hiding several hundred meters away and picking off enemies, what kind of concept was that? A distance of more than 700 meters might sound very close, but in reality, a person hiding at a distance of 700 meters would appear no bigger than a mosquito in one’s vision.

In the end, it was two snipers facing off against two snipers, and Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin easily eliminated the Pyro Company’s snipers.

Then the Pyro Company’s troops started targeting them. As snipers had to carry their heavy sniper rifles on their backs, they would expend much more stamina than normal soldiers over a distance. And since the Pyro Company’s troops were also made up of their T3 combatants, it shouldn’t be difficult for them to catch up to the two snipers, right? Without the advantage of long distance suppression, the threat of the snipers would not be as great. After all, the Pyro Company had more people! But in the pursuit afterwards, the Pyro Company’s troops were still unable to catch up to the two of them even after chasing with everything they had. Moreover, the Pyro Company realized the two snipers could easily close or stretch the distance between themselves and their troops.

Only at this moment did they finally realize the two snipers were actually supernatural beings.

Honestly, this was a little too much.

“The sun’s about to set.” Yang Xiaojin looked towards the hill in front of them and said, “Let’s complete the final ambush here. The enemy will probably guess we’re here, but we way outrange them.”

It was not that advantageous for snipers once it turned dark, especially when the environment was the wilderness. Currently, they were about two kilometers away from the pursuing Pyro Company’s troops, and there were about 200 enemies in total. Based on Yang Xiaojin’s estimates, the two of them should be able to deal with all of the threats from here.

Even if they could not kill all their pursuers, the remaining forces would not pose a threat to them.

“Alright, we’ll go with your call.” Ren Xiaosu climbed up the slope with his bare hands. He wanted to turn around to give Yang Xiaojin a hand, but she had already climbed up by herself.

In the twilight, Ren Xiaosu could see that Yang Xiaojin’s face was dirty and covered in dust. Her hair was also a little messy, but it somehow looked very alluring. The dust on her face was even thicker than the makeup powder other women applied on their faces.

Under the setting sun, the girl exuded a unique tenacity. Ren Xiaosu had never seen her weak side before. Ever since they got to know each other, it seemed like they had fought side by side more often than not.

But this made Ren Xiaosu feel completely at ease because he knew neither of them would get left behind

Yang Xiaojin skillfully found a suitable firing point. She observed the target through the scope while saying, “Enjoying the view?”

“Yes,” Ren Xiaosu admitted sheepishly.

“Let’s finish off these people first before you do that.”

“Sure.”

Ren Xiaosu took out his spotting scope. “They’re still about 2,100 meters away from us. What distance do you plan on waiting for them to get to before starting?”.

“1,560 meters.” Yang Xiaojin said, “Let them get closer in case they get a chance to escape.”

“Alright, I’ll watch the other directions and see if there’s any T5s secretly approaching. You keep your attention on these troops.” Ren Xiaosu raised his spotting scope and started searching the wilderness. Actually, the troops were not really a threat to them. The only thing that worried them were the T5 combatants who might be hiding somewhere nearby.

If they had not been worried about the T5 combatants’ sneak attacks, the two of them would have already fought their way back against the troops. They would not have needed to resort to guerrilla warfare at all.

The most taboo thing on a battlefield like this was to think you were already assured of victory, only to end up failing miserably.

The only way to survive was to preserve one’s strength and prepare for a crisis.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu’s heart sank. “There really are T5s following us. I was wondering why this group of troops were still persevering even after half of them had been taken out. So it turns out that they had a backup plan after all.”

“How many T5s?” Yang Xiaojin asked.

“Two,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Distance?”

“1,800 meters at 7 o’clock.”

“What do you say?” Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Shall we take out the T5s first?”

Ren Xiaosu pondered it for a moment before saying, “Do you remember that our sniper rifle still has that black bullet ammo?”

“What’s its effect?” Yang Xiaojin asked.

“I don’t know. I haven’t had a chance to use it yet, so why don’t we try it out this time?” Ren Xiaosu said, “What if it turns out surprisingly useful? Even if it’s not, we could at least find out what the black bullets are for.”

Yang Xiaojin smirked. “I’ve been wanting to give it a try for a while now.”

Under the setting sun, the girl aimed at one of the T5 combatants and suddenly pulled the trigger.

A black bullet burst out of the chamber of the rifle and curved slightly in the air due to the Coriolis effect.

As it embarked on a distance of nearly 2,000 meters, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin initially thought it would take some time for the bullet to reach its target. After all, it should take more than two seconds for the black sniper bullet to cover a distance of 2,000 meters.

However, Ren Xiaosu saw through the spotting scope that the T5 combatant had already been hit midway through his silent counting process! A large cloud of black mist exploded from his body as the bullet pierced his heart, and the T5 combatant was sent flying backwards.

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other. They both realized the importance of this black bullet. The reason why snipers were unable to deal with supernatural beings from a distance was that it was too easy for the target to discover their positions. But with the bullet almost instantaneously arriving, it reduced the time it took to hit the target by more than half, so not even a T5 combatant could avoid it!

In fact, most supernatural beings in the world were physically weaker than the T5 combatants. In other words, there was a chance Yang Xiaojin could kill most supernatural beings in one hit now.
