"Set up a sniper point here?" Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. Her large, animated eyes turned towards the direction of Little Mirror Lake and looked at Mingyue Court across the lake. She closed her eyes and whispered, "Holy-Lord! Do we have to use an AMR?! "
Only an AMR would be able to reach Mingyue Court across the lake from such a long distance.
The officer was surprised, "How do you know about an AMR?"
Even the people in the army didn't know much about this, let alone the general public.
Gu Nianzhi smiled, "I'm a military junkie, I've seen it on the internet."
"Study when you have time, don't go online so much." The officer lectured her seriously, "Go in. I'm closing the door. "
Gu Nianzhi nodded and was about to turn when she saw two tall men walk out of the Humvee from the corner of her eye.
Her entire body shook and her mind buzzed. She quickly turned her eyes to stare greedily at the tall figure walking in front of her.
The helicopter's searchlights were still hovering in the air, scattering beams of light.
At that moment, the sound of the rain disappeared from her ears, and the darkness of the night slowly faded from her eyes. Everything in the world became a backdrop of nothingness, and in her world, there was only a tall man in a special forces uniform.
Although he was wearing a black helmet and night vision goggles, and his face was completely covered up so she couldn't see his face, the tall figure, broad shoulders, and intimidating aura … it was her Uncle Huo!
For the first four years, she'd been his accessory!
Now she hadn't seen him in over two months, and had only called him twice …
Gu Nianzhi gripped the doorpost of the straw hut, her body so stiff she couldn't move.
The officer in front of the door pushed her impatiently, "Go in now. This place needs to be strictly guarded and cleared. "As he said that, he slammed the door of the straw hut in front of her.
Gu Nianzhi staggered from the impact and almost fell to the ground.
Mei Xiawen hurriedly caught her and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Gu Nianzhi shook her head slowly.
It was like a breath was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
She clutched her chest and sat against the straw hut's door.
There were no windows in the hut, and the only door was closed. It was pitch black inside.
…
Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze got out of the Humvee and looked straight ahead as they walked past the straw hut. They arrived at the shore of Little Mirror Lake to look for a spot to set up the anti-materiel sniper rifle.
"From the back wall of Mingyue Court to this side of the lake, this is the shortest straight line distance." Zhao Liangze was walking in the rain with a measuring device in his hand. He pointed at a patch of muddy grass on the shore of Little Mirror Lake.
The patch of grass happened to be directly in front of the straw hut that Gu Nianzhi and the others were hiding in.
Huo Shaoheng turned on his night vision goggles and stood at the spot Zhao Liangze had indicated. He looked towards Mingyue Court.
His night vision goggles were not ordinary night vision goggles. They were equipped with an infrared detection system, which allowed him to see the movements of people through the wall.
Through the night vision goggles, he could see the situation in Mingyue Court, step by step.
The kidnapper was holding a sniper rifle and hiding in the middle of the back wall.
Although he could only see a blurry figure, the position of the head was still clear.
There were many motionless figures lying on the floor in the room. They should be the kidnappers' hostages.
They had learned from the resort villa staff that the kidnappers had drugged the hostages beforehand, so they were still unconscious.
This was better than if they were conscious.
At least they wouldn't cause a ruckus and cause uncontrollable problems.
"Here." Huo Shaoheng half-knelt on the grass and opened the case of the AMR and began to assemble it.
The AMR in his hand was a heavy weapon owned by the local garrison. The barrel was 500mm long, 1200mm long, and weighed 20kg. It was equipped with a 10-round magazine with a caliber of 25mm, capable of piercing through light armored vehicles. The house opposite Mingyue Court was said to be made entirely of wood, so the walls wouldn't be stronger than an armored vehicle.
Huo Shaoheng set the spike-shaped bipod on the ground and lay down on the grass to adjust the scope.
The scope of the anti-materiel sniper rifle was more advanced and accurate. In order to ensure its long-range precision shooting ability, the anti-materiel sniper rifle's scope used a very advanced real-time data processing scope system that could be connected to the Internet. It was many times more brilliant than the optical scope of a normal sniper rifle.
The scope system could collect, process, and calculate data such as air pressure, temperature, wind speed, rain speed, and the target's angle at the same time to achieve the effect of a fatal strike.
Snipers were very rare, and snipers who could use such a complex AMR were even rarer.
Huo Shaoheng had rarely participated in actual combat over the years, but he had never let go of his marksmanship.
No one in the entire Imperial Army could compete with him in sniping, be it light or AMR, no one was a match for him.
Huo Shaoheng finally adjusted the scope and lay down on the ground. He placed both hands on the butt of the AMR and aimed.
For a sniper, aiming was a process that required a lot of patience and calmness.
Some snipers could lie in one position all day and not move at all in order to hit their target.
Of course, for Huo Shaoheng, he couldn't lie down all day even if he wanted to, because he had less than ten minutes to end the battle.
…
Gu Nianzhi hugged her knees as she sat in the dark straw hut. Her eyes were as black as the finest obsidian.
The straw hut was quiet, and outside the hut, the heavy rain was still pouring down.
She had to press a hand to her chest, afraid that her classmates would hear the sound of her heartbeat.
At a time like this, they needed absolute silence. She didn't want any sound to disturb Huo Shaoheng, not even the sound of his heartbeat.
Because outside the straw hut, her hero, her faith, was working hard to eliminate the criminals who harmed people. She couldn't be a burden to him.
"Ah — I can't take it anymore! What are they doing?! " The female classmate that Gu Nianzhi had carried across the entire Little Mirror Lake was about to break down. She suddenly started crying hysterically.
"Shut up!"
Before anyone could react, Gu Nianzhi pounced on the female classmate and grabbed her by the neck. She growled in a low voice, "One more sound and I'll kill you!"
The female classmate's cries and screams stopped abruptly. Her eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.
She looked at Gu Nianzhi in horror and pushed her away with all her might.
Everyone else in the class was also stunned.
Was this still their little sister Gu Nianzhi, who was as gentle and harmless as a little lamb?!
Mei Xiawen was stunned. He moved over and slowly pried open Gu Nianzhi's fingers. He said quietly, "Let go of her neck. She can't breathe."
Gu Nianzhi loosened her grip slightly and warned the hysterical female classmate in a low voice, "Do you know how difficult it is for the soldiers out there?! They risked their lives to protect you, and you still have the cheek to cry?! One more sound and I'll make sure you'll never be able to cry for the rest of your life! "
A sniper using an AMR couldn't afford to be distracted even for a moment.
With Huo Shaoheng's level of skill, he wouldn't even care if someone else was banging on his ear.
But to Gu Nianzhi, that was all she could do for him.
…
Huo Shaoheng lay on his stomach in the mud of the grass. The cool rain fluttered through his scope.
He was already immersed in his own world. All his attention was focused on the scope.
The infrared night vision goggles only showed shadows, but the AMR's crosshair was already aimed at Yang Dawei's head, which was leaning against the back wall of Mingyue Court.
An AMR bullet that could pierce through an armored vehicle was waiting to be fired two kilometers across the surface of the Little Mirror Lake.
