Everyone stared blankly at Mo Qiong. In theory, his idea would work.
Shooting from above the lake, there was no need to worry about the range.
But could they hit it?
The observation angle was completely different. They were looking from the water, but shooting from the sky. This was still manageable for them.
Didn't Alexander practice the High Altitude Impression Sniping before? Remember the target in a room on the ground, then shoot from another place based on the relative position of the target in the room, and hit the target accurately.
However, that was a stationary target. Now, they were shooting a huge catfish. How was the difficulty just multiplied?
"I can't do it …" Alexander said honestly.
They were all experienced shooters, and because of that, they knew their own limits. Once they came up with a plan, they would know how confident they were in succeeding.
Before Mo Qiong came, Alexander was the shooting king in Darwin's team. If he could not do it, then the others would not be able to do it either.
Everyone looked at Mo Qiong. They did not expect this new team member to come up with such a plan.
"Can you do it?" Chris asked.
Mo Qiong nodded confidently. "Let me try and you'll know. If I don't hit it, I'll shoot again."
Everyone looked at each other. Chris immediately called for the helicopter on standby nearby and gave Mo Qiong a spear used to hunt killer whales.
It would take some time for them to get a large underwater machine. They might as well let Mo Qiong try, so they could prepare for both sides.
Mike piloted the helicopter while Mo Qiong hung outside, staring at the lake as they were sent two thousand meters up in the air.
Then, they approached Lake Nakulu from above and slowly descended.
"No need to descend. Two thousand meters is safer. Any lower and we might enter the forced sneeze range." Mo Qiong said.
As he spoke, his lower body was in the helicopter, while his upper body was completely out, crawling in the air.
He held a huge spear and pointed it downwards.
There were some clouds around. Mo Qiong raised his hand and slapped downwards. An air cannon instantly opened up a path, allowing him to see the lake clearly.
But that was it. Everything in the lake could not be seen.
"Send the image to me." Mo Qiong said.
The phone he placed in the air immediately showed the image of the underwater drone. It was a new drone, being controlled by someone to chase a black shadow.
"Closer!" Mo Qiong said.
"I'm trying my best!" Alexander said.
Soon, the camera zoomed in and they could see the huge catfish clearly.
There was a spear stuck in the catfish's body and it was dragging another drone.
"Tell me the drone's location. I need it to be accurate." Mo Qiong said.
"No problem!"
Immediately, the upper half of the phone's screen switched to an accurate underwater radar map. The relative position of the drone and the entire lake bottom was refreshed in microseconds.
"How is it? How confident are you? "Alexander asked.
Mo Qiong glanced at him and said, "En, I'm definitely not 100% confident."
Everyone was in the channel. When they heard this, they thought to themselves, Isn't this nonsense?
"How much?"
"About 90%.
"Hmm?"
Everyone was stunned. Then, they saw a large spear falling from the sky, leaving a clear white trail in the air. Along the trail, there was a thin steel cable, all the way to the bottom of the helicopter.
"Dong!"
The spear plunged straight into the water, and everyone immediately looked at the underwater camera. They saw that the spear had pierced through the catfish's tail, and the barb of the spear was stuck in its body.
"Ah!"
The team members were in an uproar. At an altitude of two thousand meters, it was impossible to see what was in the lake. They could only use the underwater broadcast to locate it. In this almost blind sniping situation, one shot of Soul Imprint hit the tail of the big fish.
"As expected of you, Mo Qiong. You didn't use your full strength last time, right? Sniping from two thousand meters away, you shot down ten bells on the tree in a minute. Even with me, you were just going easy on me. "Alexander sighed.
Mo Qiong shook his head. "No, it's because I only brought ten bullets."
"…" Alexander was speechless. At that time, he had shot down ten bells in a minute, but he had fired sixteen shots. After all, it was a sniper. He could break a rope with every shot, but it would be difficult to break a rope with every shot.
Everyone was shocked. "Is he really that strong?"
"Yes, you guys don't know. I was there when he took the mock exam. He broke the record of Gun Fighting God. Tsk tsk, think about it. After two years of strengthening by Taaffeite, his shooting should be able to catch up with the top shooters in the club. "Alexander said.
Captain Chris was also surprised. Generally speaking, even if a new member was the first in the group, he would not be that strong. Everyone's overall strength was about the same.
It was rare to see someone as outstanding as Mo Qiong.
"Okay, Mo Qiong, continue to cover. Use the most powerful sniper rifle bullets. If that fish makes any strange movements, shoot it to pieces!" Chris said.
"No problem." Mo Qiong said. Obviously, he was now the long-range attacker in the team and had the responsibility of covering everyone.
Mike was controlling the helicopter and hoisting the fish.
Two spears pierced through its body, but to the fish, it was as good as nothing … It still resisted the pull of the helicopter, but in the end, it could not resist the pull of the helicopter and was pulled out of the lake.
The helicopter continued to rise, and the fish was pulled up fifty meters in the air, swaying there.
Everyone retreated far away and used the drone to observe closely.
"This is not biomass at all. It looks more like … wool?" a member of the research department said after observing the image for a while.
"Wool?"
The researcher said, "Yes, this is a catfish made from wool. There is a large amount of resin-like substance in it, making it look smooth. After the spear pierced through it, the hook pulled on the wound. Look closely, doesn't it look like a hook pulling on a wool sweater?"
"So, we are facing a wool monster?" You Xin asked curiously.
At that moment, the sheep on guard fifteen hundred meters away started to cry. This meant that the forced sneeze area had spread to fifteen hundred meters.
This speed was very slow. One day had passed, and it was not even enough to cover the national park, much less the nearby towns.
"Even though it should be useless, we should still extract some … er … wool," Chris said.
They had to confirm one thing, and that was whether this fish was the source of the effect.
Now that they knew the range was fifteen hundred meters, they tried to extract some of the catfish's body parts outside the range to see if the range had increased.
If it increased, it meant that the fish had been split into many parts, and they could create more forced sneeze areas.
Also, the helicopter could fly the catfish in another direction. If the area moved with it, it meant that the fish was indeed the source of the effect.
"Rip!"
The catfish was suspended in the air and could not move around. They used the drone to cut a few pieces of fish and brought it back.
Of course, they themselves had retreated to an even further place.
"It didn't extend the area!" Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that when the fish was brought to a sheep, the sheep did not react at all. It was just in a daze.
Then, the helicopter flew a few dozen meters to the north with the fish. Through the test of living creatures, they could confirm that the area moved with the catfish.
"The effect follows the fish, but the fish doesn't have this kind of area. No problem, bring the fish over for research!" Chris shouted.
After some research, they realized that there was nothing to research.
Although it was called fish, it was actually a pile of wool mixed with resin. In other words, the fish was not a living creature, but something like a figurine mixed with a bunch of ordinary materials.
Of course, it depended on how one defined it as a living creature. Based on the fish's athletic ability, it was still considered alive.
"This wool has no research value. It doesn't make people sneeze, and there is nothing abnormal about it. It also doesn't show any inexplicable athletic ability …" Chris said.
At this time, Mo Qiong's voice came from the channel. "Isn't this good?"
Chris was stunned and seemed to have thought of something. "Yes, this means that the fish completely returned to normal after being separated from the catfish. If it doesn't have any characteristics and its composition is normal, then it's no different from other wool. "
"So … if we beat it into pieces, the characteristics might disappear," You Xin said.
They might as well give it a try. There was no better way for now.
At Chris's command, Mo Qiong opened fire from above and turned the fish into minced meat.
His sniper rifle was extremely powerful. The 13mm bullet hit the catfish and exploded where it was hit.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a dozen shots, the catfish turned into pieces and fell from the sky, landing on the ground beside the lake.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Mo Qiong vaguely saw a round ball of fur being shot out from the broken fish's stomach. It bounced a few times on the ground and fell into the lake.
It might be the fish's internal organs, but Mo Qiong found it strange because all the pieces of the fish were hanging on the ground. None of them bounced. Only that thing seemed to be elastic and bounced far away.
"Report, a ball of fur fell out of the fish's body and landed in the lake. Something is wrong," Mo Qiong said.
He was the only one who was aiming through the sniper scope, and he was looking down from above, so he was the only one who saw this scene. The others were paying attention to the pieces of fish that fell like rain. Due to the different angles, they didn't see the ball of fur on the other side.
"Fur ball? Is it the fish's internal organs? "Chris said. The fish was made of wool, so it wasn't strange that its internal organs were in the shape of a ball of fur.
Mo Qiong thought for a moment and was about to say that it might not be internal organs when he heard Alissanda say excitedly, "It works! It really works! The forced sneeze field is gone! "
He drove a sheep over and nothing happened. He followed the sheep all the way to the lake and didn't sneeze at all.
Obviously, the abnormal field was gone.
"What? It really disappeared? "Mo Qiong was stunned.
