Prologue

  The dense jungle was full of secrets.

  The weather was fine, with sunlight filtering through the gaps between the leaves, dappled but still, the forest was filled with a solemn chill.

  Suddenly, several small birds flew out from among the treetops, making a rustling sound with their wings.

  A team of armed personnel wearing simple tactical vests, holding AK-47 and G3 automatic rifles, walked along the small path in the woods from a distance.

  In the jungle, a cold gaze was watching this team of armed personnel approaching.

  A cold and stern gaze with a chilling murderous aura.

  The patrol team slowly approached.

  Suddenly, several figures rushed out of the bushes, all wielding QNL-95 daggers with gleaming blades.

  The sudden raid left the patrol team caught off guard.

  The "Shadow" Special Operations Brigade of the People's Liberation Army, the "Hidden Kill" special operations team, a group of warriors from hell, launched a surprise attack in the sunlight of the afternoon.

  A sharp dagger pierced the throat of a patrol team member, and fresh blood spurted out from the cut in the neck artery.

  As the dagger was pulled out, these patrolling soldiers fell softly to the ground without making a sound.

  "Hide the body." Gao Shengjie cautiously looked around and said.

  The commandos dragged the bodies into the bushes and camouflaged them with camouflage nets and weeds.

  "Come this way, we're almost there."

  Under the leadership of the vanguard, special forces formed a combat formation and searched deep into the dense forest.

  A lowland appeared before the special forces.

  "This place is good, set up a sniper point and lay out the mine." Ye Ren said with binoculars observing a stronghold with a complete defense system below the mountain.

  The lucky uniform worn by Ye Ren and the other hand holding a JS 7.62mm caliber sniper rifle that had been tactically modified and jungle camouflaged exposed Ye Ren's identity.

  Ye Ren is the entire "Hidden Kill" squad's strong bow and heavy arrow, specializing in sniping enemy generals' heads from among the troops.

  Sniper team's spotter Yin Mengya took off the backpack she had been carrying after receiving the order to set up a sniper point.

  Ye Ren also took off a backpack from his back and put it aside, covering it with a camouflage net.

  Yin Mengya spread a rainproof cloth on the ground and took out several small sandbags filled with soil, placing them in front of Ye Ren.

  The terrain is just right, with a small depression that provides a temporary sniper position for the sniper.

  A small sandbag was placed in front of him, and Ye Ren's sniper rifle was easily set up on it.

  Yin Mengya also fell down, with a 95-style automatic rifle placed within arm's reach.

  Ballistic computer and binoculars with laser rangefinder are in place, the sniper position is ready.

  "Sniper team in position, waiting for attack signal."

  Ye Ren is reporting live from the wireless radio station.

  "Stand by."

  Ko said quietly into the wireless transmitter from behind a tree.

  The assault team approached from another direction, along the sunlight towards the stronghold at the foot of the mountain.

  Yin Mengya quietly set up a directional mine for defense behind her back.

  "Advance and observe, set up a shooting range card, give me target data." Ye Ren checked the sniper rifle once.

  "Yamashita is the target of this operation, we need to rescue two hostages from the hands of the traffickers. Our mission is to provide remote firepower support, I will establish a priority order for targets, after the operation starts, we will open up assault and retreat routes and hold this position to cover the squad." Yin Mengya took out the range card and logbook at once.

  "The target area is 760 meters away." Ye Ren said after observing the situation in the sniper scope.

  "I'm ranging in. Establishing target priority now. 885 meters, left one quarter, hilltop observation post, attack launch point."

  Ye Ren's sniper rifle turned in the direction reported by Yin Mengya.

  In the sniper scope, a two-man machine gun position exposed on the mountain top appeared before Ye Ren's eyes.

  In the machine gun nest, there were two drug traffickers' sentries on guard.

  The assault team is stealthily approaching this location from behind, using a water ditch that traverses the mountain waist.

  The location of this observation post is a mixed bag. The good thing is that the view is extremely open, with no obstructions around, and it's less than 200 meters away from the base camp at the foot of the mountain, making communication very convenient, and if there's an emergency, you can respond quickly. Of course, the downside is also very obvious, which is that it's too exposed. And the aqueduct behind is a blind spot in the view.

  But the fifty-meter distance from the aqueduct to the observation post was also a difficult-to-cross moat.

  "700 meters, left two-thirds, small wooden house, should be the checkpoint for the base entrance. 720 meters, two warehouses, purpose unknown. 760 meters, right three-quarters, water tower, beware of the sniper on top. 730 meters, right two-thirds, smoke rising, should be the kitchen."

  Yin Mengya observed and recorded on the shooting range card at the same time.

  Ye Ren carefully observed the situation inside the base.

  "Sniper team, take out the observation post."

  A faint rustling sound came from the clump of grass behind them, and the two sentries in the observation post on the mountain top hastily turned to look back.

  Suddenly, a sentry's chest appeared with a blood hole, and he fell forward straight.

  Another sentinel glanced nervously over his shoulder but immediately turned back to gaze down at the ditch.

  Ge Sainai and Huang Junqi stood in the water channel, with half of their bodies exposed.

  The sentry was clearly startled.

  Ge Xianjie waved at him and made a ghostly face.

  Huang Junji's gun fired immediately. However, the sound was so muffled by the silencer that even people ten meters away couldn't hear it.

  The bullet seemed to have eyes and shot into the sentinel's brow, shooting out a beautiful blood flower.

  "Not bad." Ye Ren lightly flicked the rotating gun mechanism, catching the ejected shell casing with his index and middle fingers.

  Xiao Yin also smiled slightly, then drew a red cross on the observation post's position on the firing range card.

  "Assault team in position, ready to enter."

  The voice of Ge Shengjie came from the headphones.

  "Ready at all times." Ye Ren said a sentence and then began to aim the sniper rifle at the stronghold below the mountain, preparing to provide real-time firepower support.

  It was at this time that a person walked into Ye Ren's scope.

  And everything else also starts from this person's body.
