Chapter 60: I'm in Heaven Thank You (Second Update)
Xu Ming yawned, and Kapur and Glenn were already standing in front of him.
"Is everything settled?" Xu Ming asked in a low voice.
Kap nodded and said, "The steel wires are all set, just waiting for you."
Xu Ming once again confirmed everyone's position and nodded at Kap.
Kapoor shot a crossbow bolt with thin steel wire from three positions, each bolt flew into the building across and stuck in place, the wires were fixed very well.
Xu Ming opened the magazine of his sniper rifle and loaded a pink bullet. This bullet looked no different from the outside, but they all knew that its power was almost equivalent to a small cannon shell.
The location of this rooftop is great, with a good vantage point. The rooftop of the building across from here is one of the best sniping spots, and you can clearly see the fourth floor of the Yingguo Hotel. As long as Qu Qi is still in the Yingguo Hotel, Xu Ming has confidence that he can take him out.
However, the intelligence suggests that Quirke is a proud person and has severe mysophobia. He won't stay in any other room except for that one. More importantly, his biological clock is very regular. Despite the intense battle outside, he's probably already asleep.
Hope the intelligence is accurate, Xu Ming could only think so.
"Hey boss, what's your plan?" Grenn asked, sidling up to him. He too had seen the barricade at the end of the street, where there were nearly two hundred men.
Xu Ming's eyes swept over the dozen or so boxes piled up in the construction site and said, "Do you see what that is?"
Glen's eyes lit up and he nodded, there were obvious markings on the box, it was a mortar shell.
Xu Ming smiled and picked up a sniper rifle, pulled the bolt, and fired at the pile of mortar shells.
Rumble
A sudden explosion, in an instant, blew everyone in the construction site into a daze. Before they could even fall to the ground, more than 50 people closest to the blast were blown to the point where their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.
The chain of explosions was even more violent, and the construction site was instantly destroyed. Most people spat out blood in the explosion shock, and more than half of them crawled on the ground motionless, most of their internal organs shattered.
"Up."
Xu Ming let out a loud whoop, and the grappling hook appeared on his wrist, tightly clamping onto the steel wire. He was the first to zip line away. At the same time, several dark silhouettes flashed by in mid-air, drawing out meteor-like trails under the cover of night.
He rushed to the rooftop and lay down on it, where he could clearly see the entire Ingrun Hotel. The Ingrun Hotel used to be a five-star hotel, resplendent with gold and jade, and in front of it was a huge square.
The square used to be a place for parking and performances, but now it's packed with construction work, countless people moving around amidst the noisy sounds.
Every window on each floor of the hotel was blocked by curtains, and it was impossible to see the overall situation inside.
"Destroy the dark fort, seize the tank, and be ready to break through at any time."
Karp and Glenn jumped from the rooftop, hanging down to the next floor. Before long, gunshots rang out, with each of them firing shots in different areas nearby.
"Bunker B14 destroyed..."
"C91 Main Road Dark Fort Destroyed..."
News of the others destroying the Dark Fort kept coming in through the earpiece. The tacit cooperation had long rendered it unnecessary for Xu Ming to urge them on. Before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they had to end the battle in the shortest time possible.
Xu Ming adjusted the sight, this rooftop isn't the best sniping spot, the distance from the hotel is over 800 meters, but within the range of an AWM sniper rifle.
Xu Ming took out a thermal imaging device and installed it on the scope. From the mirror, he saw that everyone was a fiery red, even the people behind the curtain were clearly visible.
One two three four...
Room 403 actually has four people? And they're all in different positions. This cookie seems to have a good anti-reconnaissance awareness.
Xu Ming was still hesitating whether to choose a target and take action or calculate if he could take out all four at once. At this time, the voice of Jin Pu suddenly came from the earpiece.
"Boss, there's a girl at your 9 o'clock position who wants to see you..."
The girl wants to see me? Xu Ming was puzzled, but still looked over.
The direction of nine o'clock was also the rooftop of a building, and there were two people hiding very well on the rooftop. If she hadn't wanted to see Xu Ming, Xu Ming wouldn't have been able to see them at all.
Xu Ming signed: "You're looking for me?"
Xu Ming knew her, it was Ai Li. He could know the secret of the bomb on his wrist, also thanks to Ai Li. In fact, he also knew that he and Ai Li had been in parallel lines all along, and they had interacted with each other, but hadn't really talked yet.
Aili signed and replied: "I'll give you a big gift, do you want it?"
Xu Ming was somewhat skeptical and couldn't help but ask: "What great gift?"
"Quiche," Aerie said. "My range doesn't reach that far, and I don't even know where he is. I'll stake my life on one chance, just one."
Xu Ming suddenly understood what she wanted to do. If someone was going to be bait, he would naturally be overjoyed, but why did Ai Li want to help him?
As expected, Ai Li made a hand gesture and said: "I have only one condition, help me kill someone."
Xu Ming felt somewhat relieved, mostly because he wanted to help her kill the officer who had raped her in the base. She herself thought she didn't have the ability to do it. Xu Ming and his team also deeply loathed the base, and after completing their mission, they might be able to survive, and being alive would give them a chance to help her.
But why is she so confident in herself? What if she fails to keep her promise?
"You swear that if you get the chance, you'll help me kill Charlie Sheen. The two of us will give you one shot at it. You swear on your parents' names and your wife's chastity."
What's the name of her parents and what oath did she take for her chastity? This little girl is really something.
Xu Ming himself had another adventurous way to complete the task, but it was extremely risky. Ai Li was very clever, she wasn't seeking death, but she would definitely die if she didn't make it. She couldn't compete with her own team and there were people who didn't want her to survive.
Since she's a pitiful person, helping her out won't hurt. Anyway, Xu Ming decided that when he can help, he'll lend a hand. After all, those who have committed evil deeds should be punished. They're all soldiers from the same base, so why is there such a big difference?
It can be seen from Ai Li's miserable experience that Shao Xiao and the others in the base are people of two different worlds. Although Shao Xiao is sometimes very cold-blooded, he has a soldier's dedication in his bones and loyalty to the country.
Xu Ming's face was full of sincerity, facing Aili's direction, he made a heavy vow. Even if Aili didn't plan to help him, Xu Ming would have the opportunity to take down the base's gang of bastards. Daring to manipulate his life had already touched Xu Ming's bottom line.
Ai Li looked into Xu Ming's eyes, gazing at each other from afar. Suddenly she smiled faintly, with a sense of tragic beauty in her smile. She waved goodbye to Xu Ming and then disappeared over the rooftop.
Xu Ming looked at it for a long time before understanding what she was saying: "I'm in heaven, thank you."
