He squatted down and dug out the warhead from the soil, looked at it, and it was an armor-piercing bullet.
The people in the River Valley Manor should all be their own people, so this shot is just a warning, otherwise it will be aimed at the key points. Han Xiao thought of this, took out a bronze-colored coin from his arms, raised it and waved it, the snipers in the manor would definitely be able to see it through the scope.
This coin was given to him by Ovano before departure, saying that it was a certificate to identify his teammates.
After waiting for a minute or so, Han Xiao walked forward again. No one fired this time. He arrived at the gate of the River Valley Manor and found that the defense modification had been done here. The interior is tightly covered, and there are traces of resistance to the explosion on the steel plate.
The door opened, and Han Xiao walked in. The layout of the River Valley Manor unfolded in front of his eyes, covering a very wide area. It can be roughly divided into an inner layer and an outer layer. The outer layer is a variety of fortifications. Patrol around with guns slung, chatting loudly and rudely, not as taciturn as regular soldiers.
The inner layer is the central area, a fountain garden-style villa, surrounded by black railings to distinguish the inner and outer layers. Through the railings, he saw that there was no one in the villa and garden, as if no one lived.
"The new one, is he a killer?"
A sturdy black man next to him stopped Han Xiao. This was the person who opened the door. Han Xiao looked at his complexion and felt that this black man was the best candidate to blow up the bunker at night, provided he ran naked.
The big black man didn't care about Han Xiao's reaction, he turned on the walkie-talkie, and shouted in a broken gong voice: "Chen Li, there is a new killer, hurry up and pick him up."
"Wait for me, I'll go right now." A scolding voice came from the walkie-talkie.
The yellow mercenary named Chen Li quickly came to the gate, first gave the middle finger to the big black man, then looked at Han Xiao, looked up and down, "Come with me."
Following Chen Li to the southeast of Hegu Manor, Han Xiao learned the defensive layout of Hegu Manor from Chen Li. It is divided into three sides. The west faces the river. The attackers may take a yacht to attack, but on the river is the target, so the most important easy.
The other two sides are the southeast and the northeast respectively, and the overall defensive layout is a triangle. Chen Li was the head of the mercenaries in the southeast.
"What type of killer are you?" Chen Li asked.
"Sniper type."
"That's good, we need long-range attackers. Last time, there was a killer who could only sneak and assassinate at close range, and it was of no use at all."
Han Xiao looked back at the central villa, asked three key questions in his heart, and said, "Who is the target we are protecting? How long are we going to defend here? Who are the enemies?"
Perhaps every newcomer would ask these questions, and Chen Li replied eloquently: "The above didn't say how long to stay, anyway, if it really can't stand it, I will withdraw immediately, no matter how much he pays, I don't want to be cannon fodder. It is not clear who the enemy is, sometimes they attack during the day, sometimes at night, sometimes every few days, there is a steady stream, and there will always be new enemies.”
"As for the target we're protecting, hehe..." Chen Li suddenly sneered, "I heard that the target was hidden in the villa, but never showed up. The mission prohibits us from entering the villa to check. Maybe there is no one in the villa, we are guarding it. It's an empty shell... Hmph, no matter what the employer's intentions are, as long as they give the money."
The uninhabited villa, the protection target that has never appeared, the summoning order with vague instructions, and the enemy whose source is unknown, these factors are linked together, making Han Xiao feel inexplicably strange, and always feels that there is a fog shrouded in it.
"By the way, what level of killer are you, dark level or ghost level?" Chen Li asked casually.
"Mr. Black, scorpion-level."
Chen Li suddenly turned his head and looked surprised, "Scorpion rank? Why did you come here? Only the dark rank and above will receive the summoning order, are you not qualified?"
"It's all here, it doesn't matter what level it is." Han Xiao had no intention of explaining to a mercenary chief. To use the words of the king... I have been doing things all my life, so why should I explain it to you! Just one word, pretend!
"Although it's a scorpion, since it's a sniper, you should use it. Anyway, as long as you can hit people with a sniper rifle, it's fine."
Chen Li frowned, pointed into the distance, and said, "Have you seen the three bunkers? Go to the middle one, and the Venomous Brothers will arrange for you."
Looking along Chen Li's finger, the three bunkers are located at the intersection of the southeast and northeast defense lines, the apex of the triangle defense area. This position just gives snipers the best shooting vision and strike range. However, the disadvantage is that it is too conspicuous. If the enemy attacks, the first sniper must be destroyed. Fortunately, there are many machine guns and howitzers on the outer wall next to the bunker, and the defense is the heaviest.
Han Xiao has no objection. Before triggering the panel quest, he held a mind of indifference.
Walked into the bunker in the middle, followed the stairs to the top floor of the bunker (that is, the sniper position), and found that there were two people here, holding sniper rifles in their arms, sitting against the wall and dozing, hearing Han Xiao's footsteps, one after another. When I opened my eyes, I knew from their cold temperament that they were both killers.
One is tall and the other is short, and they look a bit similar. They are the poisonous bee brothers that Chen Li said.
"New?" The tall man said lightly, "Code name, level, ability."
Han Xiao raised his brows, "Mr. Hei, scorpion-level, sniper."
"Why is a scorpion-level rookie running here?" The tall man frowned and said impatiently: "Go to the fort on the left, as a sniper deputy, responsible for solving some of the fish that slipped through the net, you can do this kind of trivial thing. ?"
"Okay." Han Xiao nodded.
The short man only glanced at him when he entered the door, then closed his eyes and continued to rest, seemingly too lazy to talk to him, looking rather arrogant.
In just ten minutes after entering the manor, Han Xiao had already changed three locations. He had no choice but to go to the left bunker. This is the area he was in charge of, which was equivalent to helping the poisonous bee brothers.
There was already a person in the left bunker, a bearded killer. He looked Han Xiao up and down, and after Han Xiao introduced himself, he said straight to the point, "Scorpion-level? Then you are responsible for the left, and I am responsible for the right."
The left side has the narrowest field of vision, the lightest task, and the bearded man doesn’t trust his abilities. It’s human nature, Han Xiao has no other idea, just take care of his own area.
[You trigger the chain task [Calling Order (Protection)]]
[Task introduction: "First, don't inquire about the identity of the protection target; second, don't leave your post; third, don't let the enemy attack the manor; fourth, try to be useful."]
[Hint: This task is a chain task, please follow the instructions]
[First Ring Mission: Repel the First Wave of Enemies]
[First Ring Reward: 20,000 Experience]
[Other mission failures: 1. Entering the villa area without authorization.]
[2. Leaving the manor for more than 120 minutes.]
"Chain quests? Interesting." Han Xiao's heart moved.
Chain tasks are also running rings. Only by completing one task requirement can you know the next requirement. The difficulty and rewards will become higher and higher. After completing all the rings, you can get additional rewards. Generally speaking, chain tasks will be more cumbersome.
"Finish the first round first and see how the follow-up rewards are. If you can't do it, withdraw." Han Xiao secretly said, he didn't have the idea of completing the task, and the reward was rich.
After a few hours of messing around in the river valley manor, he figured out the staffing configuration. The mercenaries brought various heavy firepower and vehicles, there were also some power users, and there were mechanics who repaired equipment, provided ammunition, and repaired fortifications. The killer was higher-end combat.
From the chat, I learned that this group of people has been here for more than ten days, and powerful characters have emerged, such as the poisonous bee brothers, Chen Li, and some other name codes, volcano, moonlight, and so on.
…
The sky is dark, and in the forest at night, the leaves are rustled by the night wind, and the river is gurgling. Everything is a peaceful atmosphere.
The sound of the rapidly approaching engine broke the silence.
"Buzzing—"
Han Xiao saw from the sniper hole of the bunker, and there were beams of headlights in the woods in the distance, and they were approaching quickly. The mercenaries in the manor began to shout loudly, and they all returned to their posts to wait for them. The dense footsteps sounded like fried beans.
Reaching out and pulling the bolt, it made a smooth and crisp sound, and Han Xiao also began to adjust his state.
"The first wave is here."
