Huai Caoshi narrowed her eyes and looked up.
Xu Le looked up and narrowed his eyes.
During the past few days of sightseeing, the imperial soldiers who appeared in the open with the two of them were all wearing plain clothes. This was the first time he had seen someone wearing a military uniform, and he immediately thought that this officer should be a member of the security department hidden in the dark.
"Sir, there is indeed a problem with the intelligence feedback received last night." The imperial officer stood beside Huai Caoshi and reported respectfully and concisely, "We have increased the surveillance. Just now, the electrical detection room detected a low-energy waveform curve. It seems to be a civil electrical appliance, but the curve is a bit strange, and the spectrum exclusion is unable to obtain a result."
Huai Caoshi frowned slightly and took the spectrum analysis electronic manual. Looking at the quivering curve on the top, she asked, "Weapon?"
"Military and civil mecha heat start has been excluded, and the reference frequency of long-range weapons is also different. Analysis is being conducted. It should be safe, but the location of this restaurant is too exposed, so please leave immediately."
The imperial officer said directly, and he had no intention of avoiding Xu Le at all. Although he, like many of his colleagues, did not understand why the honorable sir would bring this lowly Federation captive with her, in their eyes, this person was already a dead man, and it did not matter even if they heard some confidential information.
Huai Caoshi looked at the curve on the electronic manual, and the angle of her thin and black eyebrows furrowed a little wider. She was a little self-deprecating in doubt. Was there anyone in the Empire who dared to harm her?
…
…
Xu Le heard the imperial officer's conversation, but his pair of black eyebrows did not helplessly furrow into a ball, but suddenly raised like a knife because he saw a very familiar curve in the corner of his eyes.
His pupils suddenly constricted and brightened. He felt a chill coming from his neck, causing the hair on that area to stand on end!
This was indeed not the heat start waveform curve of a mecha, nor was it the warm-up curve of a fighter jet. In fact, the entire surveillance department of the Empire should not have seen this curve, and there were very few people in the Federation who had seen this curve.
But he had seen it before. In the glacier of 5460, Shi Qinghai, he and Gu Xifeng had discussed many times what electronic means should be used to destroy this terrifying weapon's only flaw that not many people had discovered. But because of the tight time, he and Gu Xifeng only found a direction, but did not succeed in putting it into practice.
It was ACW!
This curve was the redundant overflow waveform created by the activation of the ACW electric pulse ignition device and the magnetic resonance auxiliary effect!
It sounded ridiculous that a gun could actually alarm an electronic monitoring device, but when it was placed on this big gun that gathered the wisdom of countless weapons experts in the Federation, and was so expensive that the former Minister of Defense cursed for three days straight, it seemed reasonable.
When this terrifyingly powerful king of single guns first appeared on the Qiulin slope outside the S2 Foundation building, it blasted apart Macklin's well-trained subordinates and powerful Special Task Force agents. When it reappeared in the snowy world at the front lines of the West Woods, it was like a ghost that took the lives of more than a dozen high-ranking imperial officers in succession!
In the entire Federation, only three ACWs had ever been produced, and one of them had always been in the hands of his best friend, Shi Qinghai. Therefore, he knew better than anyone else just how terrifying this great gun was. Due to the scarcity of manufacturing costs and materials, on the battlefield, the ACW was an extremely poor sniper rifle. However, if it was used for assassination, it was definitely the most despairing choice.
There was a slight breeze of fresh air in the restaurant on the top floor, but the little goosebumps on the back of Xu Le's neck were about to freeze.
Where was that sniper? The ring-shaped restaurant surrounded by transparent glass was empty, and there was only a mountain ridge in the distance that looked like a black line. He should be there.
Who was the sniper's target? Him? But if the imperial people wanted to kill him now, it would be too easy. Why would they go through so much trouble? And it was obvious that the young and noble imperial officer across the table did not know about this matter, let alone that there would be three high-speed tungsten alloy bullets flying towards him. Could it be that the sniper's target was the other party?
In certain dangerous moments, the speed of human thought could even appear faster than the speed of light. In a very short period of time, Xu Le thought and analyzed many things, but he still did not have time to judge the situation clearly, and he also knew that there was no time to continue thinking. No matter who the sniper's target was, the only thing he had to do now was to:
Fall down as fast as he could and look for something hard enough to cover his body.
…
…
With a whoosh, the silver knife, fork, and white bone porcelain tableware splashed everywhere with Xu Le's movements. He was not a saint, and he did not care about the life or death of the imperial officer across the table, so naturally he would not stupidly jump over to the other party. He just fell down, resolutely and fiercely, as if he was heavily shot down by someone!
His body was almost close to the ground. The silver knife, fork, and white bone porcelain tableware had just jumped off the beautiful stone table, twisting their bodies in the air. The imperial officer who came to report the situation opened his mouth, but he did not have time to show a vigilant expression. The words that he wanted to shout were still brewing in his chest and lungs, but they had not turned into air flow, and he had not strummed his strings-like vocal cords.
In this frozen moment of time that seemed to have stopped, Huai Caoshi's eyes suddenly lit up. He understood something from Xu Le's movements, feeling an unprecedented sense of danger approaching him at high speed.
There was no time to jump up, no time to fall down. In front of that bullet that was tearing through the bright air of Mulberry Orchid Province at high speed, even someone as powerful as Huai Caoshi did not have time to make too many movements. He only had time to raise his right palm, and as if he was swatting away the beef juice in front of him, he simply slapped down on the beautiful stone table in front of him.
No one could calculate what kind of terrifying reaction speed Huai Caoshi needed to make such a simple movement in this instant.
When his right palm slapped down on the edge of the beautiful stone table, the beautiful stone pattern that was known as the hardest stone material actually deformed slightly. His palm's deformation was even more severe. The pale white part of his palm that was in contact with the edge of the table squeezed out a rosy red, and also strangely squeezed out countless jets of air!
The Eight Rice zhenqi in Huai Caoshi's body was released at full force!
The silk sleeve on his right arm shattered into pieces, about to fly away.
The chair beneath him silently shattered, about to fall.
His body, under the influence of this powerful and tremendous force, instantly began to move backwards!
…
…
A flower suddenly bloomed on the hard wall of the ring-shaped restaurant.
The petals were pieces of concrete that had been blasted open. The core of the flower was alloy tendons that stood up like angry hairs after being cut open by a high-speed object. The color of the flower was light, the heavenly light that seeped in from outside the wall.
The light outside the building shot in through this flower-like hole. While moving forward, it lightly brushed past Huai Caoshi who was moving backwards at high speed like a shadow.
Then, there was a loud buzzing noise that sounded like muffled thunder.
The speed of this life-reaping bullet was too fast, faster than sound, as if it was going to surpass light and shadow.
…
…
In an instant, two more holes that seemed to have been carved appeared on the wall. The muffled sound of gunfire tore through the deathly silence, shattering the frozen time.
With a muffled bang sound, Huai Caoshi's thin body fell heavily against the wall.
"Her Highness is under attack!"
The Empire officer who had been watching this scene in shock finally woke up. His entire body trembled as he screamed out. At the same time, he threw himself towards the corner of the wall, instinctively placing his body in front of Huai Caoshi.
…
…
The life-reaping bullets that came from the distant mountain ridge were still being fired continuously. The luxurious decorations in the restaurant were torn apart like fragile pieces of paper. They floated up, landed on the ground with difficulty, and were sent flying again. The sound of broken porcelain and silver tableware rang out endlessly.
Smoke and dust flew everywhere. It was chaos. Xu Le hid behind the hard and beautiful carved stone tabletop. His face was a bit pale. At this moment, he confirmed that the sniper's target wasn't him, but he didn't relax in the slightest. This was because he discovered that the ACW used by the sniper was a high speed armor-piercing hard ink bullet. Moreover, after the first three burst shots, the sniper began to fire in a wide range. It looked like the sniper didn't care about killing him while he was at it …
The high speed armor-piercing hard ink bullet could penetrate the normal alloy plates of military mecha. How could the supposedly hardest carved stone tabletop in front of him block it?
The next second, Xu Le was slightly relieved. This was because the Empire soldiers in the restaurant reacted extremely quickly. The ring-shaped glass adjusted the angle of light refraction in the shortest amount of time possible. Although this definitely couldn't block the sniper's bullet, it could make it a little more difficult for the opponent to shoot.
Immediately after, even more Empire soldiers flooded into the spacious restaurant. These soldiers seemed to not be able to see the mournful lines of bullets. They carried the pop-up alloy shields and bravely charged towards the corner of the wall. Four or five Empire soldiers fell on the road, but in the end, they still managed to successfully construct a simple shielding corner.
Xu Le didn't expect those Empire soldiers to provide him with the same treatment. In fact, he thought that this was a good opportunity for him. Under the cover of the smoke and dust, he half-lay on the ground, using his heels to rub against the mess on the ground, quietly and slowly moving backwards.
"OOXXOOXXOXOX …"
Right at this moment, in the corner surrounded by the Empire soldiers' alloy shields, a loud Empire language suddenly rang out. At this moment, this voice still sounded extremely calm and powerful. It was actually not drowned out by the whistling sound of bullets tearing through the air.
Xu Le could understand some of the Empire language. At the very least, he could accurately understand this sentence.
"Keep an eye on that Federation person."
He stopped his slow retreat, frowned, and cursed fiercely in his heart. He didn't expect that in such a tense moment, that person still hadn't forgotten about him. That sniper actually didn't kill this person who was clearly the strongest enemy of the Federation. This made him feel a little regretful.
The gunshots suddenly stopped.
In the silence, there was a sudden vibration. The floor-to-ceiling windows that were already shattered beyond repair began to buzz.
Xu Le, who was hiding behind the table and covered in dust, and Huai Caoshi, who was anxiously surrounded by his subordinates and half covered in blood, couldn't see each other, but they did the same action at the same time. They narrowed their eyes, raised their heads, and cursed in a low voice, "F * ck."
There was a wisp of cloud outside the building. A dark green Empire fighter suddenly broke through the cloud and rushed over at high speed. What was even more terrifying was that the missiles under the wings of the fighter had already been detached and were spitting flames high in the sky.

(The beginning of this chapter changed the last two sentences of yesterday's chapter. It was the order of narrowing eyes and raising heads. When I reviewed it yesterday, I originally wanted to change it directly, but the attached nonsense wasn't archived, so it was very troublesome, so I changed it here.
