Chapter Fourteen: The Sniper's Upper Hand

  Yanzi and Zuo Caiyun chatted and laughed all the way, having a very pleasant conversation. The latest chapter of this book can be found on Baidu search: 16kbook net Huoyao Ge walked over to the two several times, trying to find a topic to chat with the beauty and get closer to her. Yanzi, however, intentionally or unintentionally kept Huoyao Ge at bay while chatting with Zuo Caiyun. The embarrassed Huoyao Ge couldn't help but wonder: Has this guy Yanzi really started to provoke me?

  Sneaking a peek at Huoyao's disheveled appearance, Yanzi couldn't help but stifle a laugh.

  They soon arrived at the entrance of a valley, and Liu Tao said to Huo Yao, "This valley is called Luanshigou. After passing through Luanshigou, our camp is not far away."

  Liushigou is a valley formed by rock fractures. The two sides are bare and treeless, with various strange-shaped fractured layers forming a unique landscape. At the bottom of the valley, there is a narrow path, with many rocks of different sizes scattered on both sides of the path.

  Zuo Caiyun was attracted by the peculiar landscape of Luanshigou. She admired the beautiful scenery while constantly marveling at the greatness of nature.

  Everyone walked on the small road in the valley, Huoyao Ge looked at the environment of Luanshigou and joked: "This is a good terrain for an ambush. If there are little devils hiding here, we will be unlucky."

  "Ha ha," Liu Tao laughed, "Don't worry, the vanguard is made up of old guerrilla fighters. If there were a large number of little devils lying in ambush here, they would have informed us long ago."

  Huoyao Ge's heart suddenly started racing, as if foretelling some kind of danger. He said somewhat anxiously: "If a special forces team were to ambush us here, I'm afraid it wouldn't be that easy to discover them."

  Liu Tao was shocked in his heart,

  Those little devils who were chasing Zuo Caiyun have been quiet today. Would those little devils give up on chasing Zuo Caiyun so easily? Would they let the guerrilla squad off that lightly? Is it possible that

  Is there an ambush?

  Old Li said disbelievingly: "We made the little devils suffer a lot in Luanshigou. I think they're afraid we have an ambush, that's why they didn't chase us again."

  The guerrillas looked around cautiously.

  Huoyao Ge recalled a scene from an old TV series and said: "For safety's sake, we should pass through the rocky valley like this."

  Huo Yao Ge spoke while crouching down, trying to lower his body as much as possible, quickly moving from behind one rock to another.

  The devilish sniper, Nakamura, lay in wait behind a boulder on the cliff wall of Luanshigou.

  I've been waiting here for a whole day and night. I thought I wouldn't have to take action, how could an entire squadron of Imperial troops possibly fail to catch one woman?

  The escort guerrilla force still appeared on the small road of Luanshigou. Nakamura cursed Yamamoto in his heart, "What a shame for the great Japanese Imperial Army."

  Nakamura quickly found his target in the scope. Looking at the beautiful Saori Kizuki, Nakamura swallowed his saliva and sighed, "If you were caught by Yamamoto, you might have lived a few more days, maybe I could have even played with you... what a pity, once you're in my hands, you only have one way to die."

  Nakamura adjusted his shooting position. Suddenly, Huoyao Ge appeared in his scope, and Nakamura felt a very dangerous aura. This sense of danger had passed over him more than once before. Nakamura immediately decided to take out Huoyao Ge first. As for the others, it was just a matter of time. As an excellent sniper, Nakamura was still quite confident.

  Nakamura took aim and pulled the trigger with a faint smile. A very slight gunshot sound, the bullet flew towards Huoyao Ge.

  "A" cry of despair. The bullet hit one of the guerrillas who had been walking with Huo Yao and Fire Brother earlier. He covered his wound in panic, shouting: "There's an ambush, there's an ambush..."

  The guerrillas were in disarray. And no one heard the sound of gunfire, where was the ambush enemy hiding?

  Huoyao Ge hid behind a rock, unaware that he was the target of the attack.

  Liu Tao pulled the wounded soldier behind a rock and hid. He shouted loudly: "Quickly take cover..."

  The guerrillas all hid behind rocks looking for enemies. Only Zuo Caiyun was still standing stupidly on the small road in a daze.

  Huoyao Ge inadvertently dodged Nakamura's sneak attack, which really shocked Nakamura. Nakamura thought to himself, "Under circumstances with no warning at all, he was able to dodge my bullet. It seems that he is indeed a master." Without thinking any further, Nakamura once again pulled the trigger at the only person still standing on the small road, Zuo Caiyun.

  Huoyao Ge looked at Zuo Caiyun, who was still standing there foolishly. He didn't want to see this person, loved by everyone, with flowers blooming wherever she went, and the universe's most beautiful woman, lying dead in front of him. The thought of saving the beauty appeared in Huoyao Ge's heart. He mimicked the actions he saw on TV dramas, rushing a few steps to Zuo Caiyun's side, pressing her down, and rolling around with her on the ground several times before hiding behind a rock.

  A bullet left a deep blood groove on Huo Yao's arm.

  Huoyao Ge leaned against the stone, gritting his teeth. One hand covered his arm, and fresh blood flowed out from between his fingers. Large drops of sweat fell from his forehead. Although the wound was burning with pain, he didn't even hum a sound. He couldn't miss the opportunity to show off his heroic spirit in front of the beauty.

  Zuo Caiyun finally came back to her senses and hastily took out a handkerchief from her body to bandage Huo Yao.

  Nakamura saw that the expert had saved the woman again, and Nakamura was so angry that he gritted his teeth. But he quickly calmed down. After all, he was an excellent sniper, and getting angry would affect his judgment. After calming down, he thought to himself "If I don't take him out today, it will be troublesome for me if we meet on the battlefield again. Let's have a good game of cat and mouse..."

  The swallow saw Huoyao Ge get hurt, and angrily stood up to shoot randomly. He cursed in his mouth, "Come out, if you have the ability, don't be a turtle..."

  Old Li beside Yanzi hastily pressed him down and said: "You're courting death."

  A bullet whizzed past the swallow's head, hitting a stone across from it and sending out a shower of sparks. Liu Tao shouted at this time: "Everyone don't be in a hurry, wait until we find the enemy's hiding place before opening fire."

  When Zuo Caiyun was bandaging Huoyao Ge, Huoyao Ge suddenly remembered a flash of light he saw when he rolled over earlier. He thought to himself, "The equipment with the silencer should be a sniper rifle. That flash of light must have been the reflection from the scope. So isn't the enemy hiding somewhere?" Then he shouted to Liu Tao, "There's a sniper! He's hiding behind that rock!"

  Liu Tao looked in the direction that Huo Yao pointed to, but didn't see any signs of the enemy. He asked with some doubt: "Did you see them? How many people are there?"

  Huoyao Ge smiled wryly, "I didn't see anyone, but he must be hiding somewhere. The enemy shouldn't be more than two, or else the first attack wouldn't have only injured one of my brothers."

  The team members heard that there were only one or two enemies, and someone wanted to rush in that direction. Huoyao Ge quickly stopped him: "They have a blocking hand, our bullets can't hit them, rushing over like this will sacrifice many brothers."

  "Then what? Are we going to wait until they withdraw before we go out?"

  Old Li shook his head and said: "It's possible that the little devils who were chasing us earlier

  They are right behind us. If we wait any longer, there's a danger that we'll all be eaten up."

  Liu Tao thought for a moment and said, "Now I can only believe what Huo Yao said." So he called out: "Old Li, Shi Tou. You two come with me."

  Thanks for your support, brothers and sisters.
