Nothing could stop the power of the bullet. It penetrated a circular channel in the crown of the ancient tree and also penetrated the body of the captain of the third team.
A large number of broken tree trunks and branches fell on the snow. The captain's body, only half of which was left, fell freely from the tree trunk and hit the thick snow. The spray of blood suddenly dyed a large area red.
At this time, the sharp friction and whistling sound also reached their ears.
"Hide!" shouted another captain. He asked the veterans on the tree to come down quickly and evacuate immediately. The enemy's snipers were hiding far away to snipe them.
But time was running out. This enemy used special ammunition. Both the alloy of the warhead and the chemical coating on it were very different from ordinary ammunition. It could reduce the red heat rays emitted by the bullet to
At the very least, without careful observation, it is difficult for even the operator to see the almost non-existent ballistic line.
Then, before they finished speaking, the captain and Cassia heard several sharp whistling sounds coming from above their heads, and then the mutilated corpses of several other veterans fell freely into the snow.
"I just judged the position in advance and calculated how they will get off the tree. And the bullets are very powerful, and they can be killed even if they hit the target. Don't think that the enemy really saw them. It's dark now, the snipers are sure
She lost her visible field of vision, so she can't see, so don't worry about it." Cassia quickly reminded from the side that the sniper's attack was scary, especially in the current situation.
The enemy must have been waiting for a long time, looking for a suitable opportunity. But it was getting dark, and the captain just climbed up the old tree and became the last target before dark.
Cassia did not look for the ancient tree as a cover, but urged the other veterans hiding behind the ancient tree to act quickly and leave here by following the original traces left in the snow.
Using ancient trees as a cover is still too fragile. Cassia has experienced the power of that sniper rifle a few days ago. The rotating bullets can penetrate the trunks of several ancient trees one after another. They are now hiding behind the big tree, except for psychological comfort.
, it will not be of any substantial help to the attacks that may come next. As long as the enemy is not distressed by those few blue silver bullets, they will have a high chance of being hit by hiding in a place that has been explored by the enemy. Other enemies must be nearby, and there are only one or two snipers. They are all surgeons, much stronger than the veterans, and their ability to move in the snow is far better than ordinary people. This is a very gentle slope.
There was no favorable terrain to be found at all. It was also dark, and the line of sight on both sides was affected. But for the surgeons, the impact of darkness can be minimized by their sensitive eyes.
"Quick! Quick! Don't wait any longer. Except for the main weapon, take some solid fuel with you. Throw everything else away. Run back as hard as you can to wait for other teams coming over!" The captain shouted from the side, and he opened the gun at the same time.
The light of the flashlight also turned on all the fluorescent tubes in the backpack, and threw them a hundred meters away, hoping to attract the enemy's attention soon.
These soldiers are ordinary people, and their physical strength and endurance are definitely not up to the standards of the surgeons. Even though the backpack has been discarded and the weight has been reduced to almost the minimum, they are still not as fast as the enemies who may be chasing them. The snow is deeper than the waist,
If there was no path Cassia and the others took when they came, it might be a better choice for the veterans to choose to fight where they are.
Some soldiers wanted to stay and fight the enemy together, but the captain refused.
"Run back quickly. I can break all of your necks with one hand. Don't burden me here. Otherwise, we can safely evacuate by then. Just because you have one more person here, wait for one."
We can't run away." The captain ordered everyone to retreat and stay away from the snow peak. If you encounter other teams, tell Major Barron and others about the situation here.
"This place seems to be exposed." All the veterans have left here. As the captain spoke, he imitated Cassia and was busy getting steel-cased bombs and other weapons and ammunition from those backpacks. Of course, Cassia was not included in the evacuees.
Inside, the captain and Cassia know the basics between each other. In normal times, everyone may behave like ordinary people, and nothing unusual can be seen. But the physical strength and endurance shown in the snow can clearly show that
their own identities.
"Probably the enemy intercepted our communication signals and then deciphered them." The captain took off his backpack and armed himself with all weapons and ammunition. When Cassia walked towards him, he thought and said, "But I think there is a chance of this happening.
It won't be very big. The communication at the volcano base cannot be deciphered. Although I have never learned any communication-related knowledge, I don't know what the operating mechanism is. But it seems that the enemy is guarding here, and I always feel that
Something's wrong, they're a little too relaxed."
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Cassia threw a few flash bombs to the captain. "I don't know if this thing is still useful. I think the enemy is probably experienced. Captain, you should have a breathing mask. Is it equipped with blackout lenses?"
”
"The equipment must be complete." The captain said, putting on the mask, "I hope it's just a coincidence, otherwise, considering that the communication a few days ago has been intercepted by the enemy, I feel as if my whole body is exposed to the enemy's eyes.
"The sound of the veterans running behind me can no longer be heard. Only the sound of the leaves rubbing against the leaves above our heads is left. It is very slight, but it is all at this time.
It was pitch black in the distance, and within a few minutes of getting dark, the light completely disappeared. For the first time, Cassia felt that there was such a clear boundary between day and night. In the past, there was always dusk, or evening in the middle.
Transition. Now this vague concept is no longer there. There are black shadows all around, and scenery such as tree trunks are darker black textures, which can barely allow Cassia and the others to distinguish the approximate location.
"Actually, we can leave here by ourselves." The captain didn't know what he was thinking. He was stunned for a moment when he loaded the gun, and suddenly said to Cassia, "The hundreds of people on this mission don't know each other.
. Just like between you and me, you call me Captain, and I call you Warrant Officer No. 20. We nineteen captains don’t know each other’s identities, and our team code names are our identities.”
"Except Colonel Barron." Cassia added.
"That's not necessarily true," the captain said, looking at the layers of darkness in the woods for a few seconds. The enemy did not appear around them, and there was still time to prepare. "The name is just a code name. We are affiliated with the Volcano Base.
, the Volcano Base is affiliated to the Imperial Military, and the Imperial Military has great power in the Imperial Parliament. Of course, the matters going up one level from the Volcano Base have nothing to do with us. I just want to say that even at the level of the Volcano Base
, it is not difficult for them to just forge an identity card and then write the data into the super analysis machine. It may be much simpler than we think."
"It's just a matter of moving your mouth, your brain, and your fingers."
"Yes, that's it."
"Leave here first, and then think about what is hidden here." Cassia sighed, "Have you ever encountered this kind of thing before? It's not the mission, it's just what we discussed,,,"
"Occasionally, sometimes." The captain replied, "There are whirlpools everywhere, and the rank of captain is not awarded randomly. The empire is very strict with most people in this regard. Having strength is a good thing, but not being strong enough is a bad thing.
You have to choose something every moment, otherwise you can just stay where you are."
