The reason why Li Zheng did not pull the trigger was because he suddenly discovered that a detail was wrong.
height.
Yes, that's the target height displayed on the night vision device.
The information in the presentation showed that Naiden was 1.78 meters tall.
Perhaps because he went abroad when he was growing up and lived abroad all year round, Naiden's height is not short compared to people in this area, at 1.78 meters.
This kind of height is very common in China, but it is rare here.
The height of the target displayed in the sight glass and scope obviously does not match what is shown in the data.
Li Zheng used the range-finding line in the scope to set it, which confirmed his opinion.
The person he was targeting was only about 1.6 meters tall.
This is a big gap.
All snipers have one characteristic: they are very accurate in identifying people and have a strong memory for details such as body shape.
This characteristic is a requirement of the sniper profession itself. Otherwise, you will not be sensitive to the size and appearance of the target. It will take a lot of time to find the target in the crowd at a glance, thus delaying the sniper kill.
"Call Dong Yao."
"Speaking."
"The situation has changed. Naiden did not appear. The target who appeared was not him."
"Are you sure about Dongliang?"
"Very sure."
"You can make your own judgment based on the actual situation."
"clear."
After the call ended, Li Zheng faced a problem.
If the other party is not Naiden, then who is it?
If it weren't for Naiden, would he still have fired?
The final problem is, where is Naden?
Li Zheng once thought that the "meal distribution" operation had failed.
Maybe Naiden really doesn't dare to go near the border anymore. After all, he also knows that life will not be easy if he offends the Chinese people. Whether it is a special force or a special police force, he will be marked red in the database and placed in the most conspicuous priority.
In the target.
Subcontracting the acquired business is not uncommon.
What if Naiden subcontracts?
what to do?
…
While Li Zheng on the hilltop opposite has not yet made a choice, Sheng Deng on the hilltop opposite is also full of doubts.
There was a feeling in his heart that was getting stronger and stronger.
That is--
Naiden used himself as bait.
Bait to block the gun.
He was a little scared.
However, after repeated observations, even with the use of infrared night vision devices, no danger was found.
Of course, he didn't know that Li Zheng, who was wearing a ghillie suit with infrared shielding function, was actually standing on a big tree 500 meters away from him. If he fired, Sheng Deng's three lives would not be enough to pay the bill.
"Brother Naiden, I see the goal of promoting agriculture."
He had to contact Naiden.
"I found a good position and can shoot. I guarantee to kill Xingnong."
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me before shooting."
Naiden's cold reply came from the other end of the radio wave, like an emotionless robot.
"Brother Naiden...I don't feel safe..."
Sheng Deng now had the urge to escape from here. If he stayed here for one more minute, he would feel like an invisible knife was being pressed against his waist again.
"Think about the thirty thousand US dollars. You have to listen to me, otherwise you will know what will happen to you." Naiden said with both kindness and power: "Don't worry, I will protect you, are you still worried?"
Sheng Deng looked down the mountain.
Two groups of people on both sides have already set up the brackets, pulled up the ropes, and started to pack the boxes of DP and hang them, and use pulleys to start sending the goods to the other side.
At the current speed, their transaction can be completed in about half an hour.
Sheng Deng felt his throat was a little dry.
I don’t know when Naiden allowed himself to shoot.
If you shoot rashly now...
He could even imagine that Naiden would shoot him.
This man is a cold-blooded animal, with no father, mother or relatives. He is a desperado, so naturally he does not regard other people's lives as important.
There is essentially no difference between a chicken and a human being in Naiden's eyes.
On the hill opposite, Li Zheng made a choice.
He decided to wait.
Wait until the end.
He had a premonition and went to the scene.
It's just hiding somewhere, somewhere further away, or in a more hidden place.
If you shoot yourself, you will not only fail to complete the mission, but may also expose your position.
When Li Zheng discovered Sheng Deng across from him, he had looked down upon Nai Deng. He felt that it was hard to live up to his reputation. Maybe it was because of the public praise, but in reality it was just a name.
But now that he found out that the person he was aiming at was just a puppet, Li Zheng no longer dared to underestimate an opponent he had never met before.
This is a truly qualified opponent!
Li Zheng felt himself starting to get excited.
The determination to kill Naiden became even stronger.
When two top snipers face off, the competition is often about patience. Whoever reveals a flaw first will pay with his life.
wait……
This is a confrontation that tests the patience of Li Zheng and Naiden.
Naiden actually felt a little anxious in his heart.
He even thought about whether he was anxious.
Xingnong at the bottom of the mountain is directing the transaction on the spot, just one shot...
Just one shot.
And you don’t need to open it yourself, so you can get 20,000 US dollars for free.
After waiting for a long time, Sheng Deng changed his sniper position. It is said that he had been exposed long ago. If the Chinese side really sent snipers to deal with him, they wouldn't have even discovered such a poor sniper like Sheng Deng.
However, the calmness accumulated through years of practical combat experience still allowed Naiden to endure it.
If the other party really exists, he will definitely shoot and kill him.
Maybe something happened and it was delayed?
Various questions ran through Naiden's mind.
Time passed bit by bit.
It was over in the blink of an eye for half an hour.
The trade on the riverside seems to be coming to an end, and there are not many goods left.
Nai Deng felt that the fire was almost ready, so he gave an order to Sheng Deng in the channel——
"Sheng Deng, kill Xingnong!"
As if Sheng Deng was receiving an amnesty, his sniper rifle aimed at Xing Nong had already sprayed out a ball of flames.
Bang——
Gunshots were fired.
At the foot of the mountain, Di Xingnong, who was standing by the river beach, was pushed down by something and fell to the ground.
Then, the surrounding accomplices quickly reacted.
"There are police!"
The first thing they thought of was the police.
Then, the buyers on the other side of the river were also busy. People were running everywhere on the river beach. Some were taking cash and some were taking goods. The leading ones ran behind the trees and commanded their minions from a distance.
"Quick! Move the goods! Evacuate!"
Naiden stared intently at the mountain forest opposite.
He was waiting for the other party to fire the gun.
As long as the opponent's gun fires and kills Sheng Deng, you will definitely be able to find him and kill him with a sniper!
But after a long time, Naiden did not wait for the expected gunshot.
He was a little confused.
Could it be that I was wrong?
"Brother Naiden! Withdraw! If you don't withdraw, it will be too late!"
Sheng Deng's voice sounded very excited.
Thirty thousand US dollars, and everything is safe.
"Okay, let's withdraw."
Naiden finally nodded.
Sheng Deng evacuated the hilltop where he was as quickly as possible, trying to escape before the people below surrounded him.
Otherwise, the money will be wasted.
After Nai Deng waited for Sheng Deng to withdraw, he still looked at the other side with some reluctance, and finally slowly leaned to the ground, crawling away from the sniper point like a snake.
