Running away with Anina seemed like the wisest choice, but it wasn't. Escaping together would be equivalent to handing the back to the South Asian sniper's accomplice, and Anina was not fast. Once caught up, both he and Anina would be killed.
Another reason is that there is almost no need to guess that these snipers are killers hired by the Gu family, so Danny may have participated in this operation - an opportunity to kill Danny, Xia Lei does not want to miss it!
At other times and on other occasions, Xia Lei, an ordinary citizen, would have no excuse or reason to shoot someone. But it's different now. He was defending himself, and the gun belonged to Tang Yuyan!
Anina's back disappeared from sight, and Xia Lei also left the treeless hillside and entered a dense mountain forest. During the movement, all the nerves in his body were tense, and his left eye's farsightedness and perspective abilities were also awakened, and he vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.
However, a few minutes passed, and the South Asian sniper's accomplice did not appear, and no one fired.
The setting sun sank in the western sky, and the mountains and forests gradually became dark.
Xia Lei hid behind a big tree, facing down the mountain, but his left eye looked at the left and right sides from time to time, and looked through the direction high up the mountain. However, there was no movement in the entire mountain forest. Except for the sound of wind and the calls of returning birds, this mountain forest is definitely a lifeless world.
"I shot and killed the South Asian sniper, and his accomplices must have known about it. Could it be that his accomplices were scared away? Impossible, impossible. But if his accomplices didn't escape, why didn't they show up? Could it be that they didn't show up? What is he waiting for..." Xia Lei raised his head and glanced at the darkening sky, and suddenly realized something.
The other party is waiting for dark.
Xia Lei did not carry any night vision equipment. If the opponent judged that he was a very powerful opponent, they would definitely wait until dark before taking action. And the opponent must be wearing night vision equipment. During this period, the opponent only needs to lock the route down the mountain.
Every sniper has super patience and endurance.
Xia Lei seems to be lacking in this aspect, but he is no ordinary sniper.
Xia Lei gave up waiting and put the sniper rifle on his back. He looked up at the branches above his head, bent his legs, and jumped suddenly. His body rose steeply from the ground, rising to a height of more than two meters. The soles of his feet were more than two meters above the ground. Coupled with his height and wingspan, he immediately grabbed a branch five meters above the ground. He pulled his hands up and his body stood on the branch.
The Tang Sect Qing Gong I learned from Tang Yuyan has been put to use, and the hard training in the past half month has also yielded results.
After climbing the tree, Xia Lei carefully moved among the branches and quickly climbed to the highest place.
This tree is at least twenty meters tall, taller than any other trees in the surrounding area. Xia Lei was on its canopy, and his field of vision suddenly broadened. There wasn't enough light, which was no problem for him. Even in the dark night, he could see the rabbit moving two thousand meters away with his left eye!
On the treetop, Xia Lei's left eye searched the forest like a radar.
A few minutes later, two targets entered his field of vision. At eight o'clock, a blond man was holding a Barrett anti-material sniper rifle. This kind of gun can penetrate the armor of an armored vehicle, and even if it is hiding behind a tree, it cannot escape the fate of being hit. At twelve o'clock, an Asian man is holding an M200 sniper rifle. Both of them had oil paint on their faces and were wearing jungle camouflage used by snipers.
Xia Lei's left eye locked on the Asian man. Although his face was covered in paint, Xia Lei still recognized him. He was Danny!
A sneer appeared on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth. He slowly took the sniper rifle off his shoulder and placed it on a branch. However, he was not aiming at Danny, but at the person holding the Barrett anti-material sniper rifle. Blonde man…
The breeze blew through the forest, making the treetops rustle. Such a sound covered up the sound of feet stepping on dead branches and leaves, but even with such cover and night vision equipment that could perform thermal imaging at night, Danny's nerves were still tense. As his footsteps extended, his mood became more and more nervous.
After all, it was an opponent like Xia Lei that he had to deal with. Until this moment, Danny could not help but picture the scene of him sniping Xia Lei at Haizhu International Hotel in his mind. Two thousand meters away, he pulled the trigger the moment the door opened, but Xia Lei dodged his bullet!
Who can take it easy facing such an opponent? What's more, this was after a sniper master invited from South Asia had been killed by Xia Lei!
If he had a choice, Danny would definitely not want to appear within three thousand meters of Xia Lei, who had a sniper rifle. However, Gu Dingshan hated Xia Lei deeply and wanted Xia Lei's life no matter what. He could refuse everything except Gu Dingshan's order.
"He's in that mountain forest. If it's darker, I can kill him." Danny said to himself, while sneaking forward cautiously.
The voice of his accomplice Kane came from the headset, "Danny, we have blocked him in the woods. But I lost his trace. What happened to this guy? Is he a monkey?"
Danny lowered his voice, "Don't talk! He is more cunning than you think!"
Kane didn't stop talking, "Damn it, tell me, who is this guy? He can actually kill a tiger! What are you hiding?"
"Asshole! Can you shut your mouth?" Danny was angry.
"Okay, but you have to ask your boss to give me a commission. For such a powerful opponent, five million US dollars is not enough." Kane's voice.
A killer costs five million US dollars, which is an extremely high price in the world. From this we can also see how far Gu Dingshan wanted Xia Lei's life.
"You guy, you are taking advantage of the situation!" Danny's eyes flashed with hatred, and there was a cold voice in his heart, "I will kill you after I kill Xia Lei!"
"Increase the commission and add another one million, or I will quit." Kane's voice.
"Okay, my boss won't care about the money. Just do things first. I promise you, you will definitely get the money you want." Danny said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dull gunshot suddenly rang out in the forest.
Danny lay on the ground subconsciously, and then rolled behind the trunk of a tree while saying, "Kane, did you see him? Kane? Kane?"
Danny's voice could still be heard from the headset, but Kane could no longer respond to Danny. There was a hole in his chest as big as a bowl, and his heart was broken.
boom! There was another gunshot.
The tree trunk trembled, and sawdust and shrapnel flew everywhere. Danny, who was hiding behind a tree, did not dare to show his head and protected his head with his hands to avoid being stabbed by the tree trunk fragments. Just two seconds ago, he was thinking about how to kill Xia Lei, but now his heart was filled with fear. The image of Xia Lei dodging his sniper attack appeared in his mind again, and his spine felt chilly.
boom! A bullet came and hit the tree trunk in the same spot. The tree trunk, which had been partially shattered, shattered again. The huge impact shook the trunk and sawdust flew everywhere.
Danny jumped up from the ground and pressed his body against the tree trunk, looking for the next hiding place. However, just as he was about to rush towards the next tree, a bullet grazed the trunk of the tree and hit a rock next to him. Sparks flew everywhere, and a fragment of the rock hit his leg. Although it didn't cut the fabric, it still hurt a lot.
This shot obviously predicted which direction he was going to escape and fired in advance to block it. Fortunately, he delayed for a second, otherwise he would have been killed by that bullet as soon as he showed up.
"Damn it, is this guy a human or some kind of monster?" Danny was shocked and angry, and the fear in his heart became even more intense. He spotted a tree on the other side and prepared to move his hiding spot.
However, before Danny could judge the time for Xia Lei's next shot, a fourth bullet suddenly flew out and hit the tree trunk behind him. This time, the bullet pierced the broken tree trunk and pierced Danny's back. .
"Ah!" Danny screamed, and his whole body was knocked to the ground by the bullets of the sniper rifle.
Although the tree trunk offset part of the impact, there was still a horrific wound on his back. The bullet hit his kidney, blood gushed out, and severe pain engulfed every nerve in his body.
Danny abandoned his sniper rifle, pulled out a pistol, and lay motionless on the ground. He knew very well that even when he was not injured, he would not be able to snipe with Xia Lei, let alone now. He only held on to one hope now, that is, Xia Lei thought he was dead and came over to check on his body, and then he sneak-attacked Xia Lei with a pistol.
Three seconds later... BAM!
"Ah!" Danny screamed again, and a third of his left thigh was ripped off! Severe pain hit him, and he passed out before he could even look back.
Playing dead? Then you have to deceive Xia Lei's eyes.
And in this world, there has never been anyone who can deceive Xia Lei's eyes.
Xia Lei slipped down from the tree and ran towards Danny with a sniper rifle.
Danny was lying on the ground, blood pouring out from the wounds on his waist and thighs. But he was not dead, his heart was still beating.
Xia Lei walked to Danny and turned Danny over with his feet. He took away the pistol in Danny's hand and the saber on his body, and then pinched Danny's vagina.
After a weak groan, Danny opened his eyes, and then he saw Xia Lei's face. At this time, he would rather see the devil's face than Xia Lei's.
"You're awake, do you need me to help you stop the bleeding?" Xia Lei looked concerned.
"Bah!" Danny wanted to spit out Xia Lei's blood, but he didn't have the strength now, and a mouthful of blood came out of the corner of his mouth, looking disgusting.
Xia Lei frowned, "Is Gudingshan worth your life for him?"
"Kill me!" Danny said bitterly.
Xia Lei shook his head, "I won't kill you, you are still useful. I will help you stop the bleeding and send you to the hospital for treatment. I promise you, Gudingshan will die with you."
Danny reached for the pistol that Xia Lei kicked aside.
Xia Lei frowned, then raised the handle of the gun and hit Danny on the head...
It seems that waking him up is really unnecessary.
