Near the runway in the southwest, on the top floor of the Radisson Hotel.
The keyhole of the white fire door leading to the rooftop rotated slightly, and with a click, the door lock was unlocked.
Andre appeared on the rooftop carrying a huge military green equipment bag, wearing the M43 jacket, and still wearing the dark green signature beanie fleece hat.
This is a hotel near the airport. Looking north from the hotel rooftop, you can see the entire Lisbon Airport in full view. Various commercial passenger planes fly across the sky at low altitudes and land on the airport's few two runways.
Running through the south, northeast and southwest is the main runway, which is 3.8 kilometers long and can land large aircraft like Boeing 747; while the other runway of about 2.4 kilometers intersects with the main runway in the opposite southeast and northwest directions to form an "X".
"shape.
Lisbon's airport is not that big.
Andre took off his backpack, took out the telescope and laser rangefinder, and began to collect sniper data.
Small private planes generally do not go to the main runway, so Andre chose the secondary runway for ranging.
The distance from the rooftop of the Radisson Hotel to the end of the farthest main runway is 4.81 kilometers, while the furthest distance covering the secondary runway is only 3.53 kilometers.
This distance does not exceed the maximum distance that the dragon-slaying bullet fired by the special sniper rifle in Andre's bag can reach.
After putting down the rangefinder and telescope, Andre looked at his watch. It was already 4:30 in the morning and it was still dark. According to the intelligence, the Elite Club's private Gulfstream G500 aircraft would take off at 7:30 in the morning.
.
There was still plenty of time, so he picked up the telescope again and searched the airport carefully. Sure enough, he found a Gulfstream G500 on the east apron.
"Well..." he said to himself, "it seems to be that plane."
Putting up the telescope again, Andre returned to the fire door on the rooftop, installed an infrared alarm on the door, then took out his mobile phone and stepped through the invisible infrared ray.
Dudududu——
The phone screen suddenly lit up and turned red, and a rapid alarm sounded in a low voice.
For a lone wolf assassin, without logistical support or observers, he has to rely entirely on himself. This kind of alarm device is a must.
Installing the alarm device is not enough.
Andre took out a bundle of high-strength nylon ropes from his backpack, then walked to the other side of the rooftop and looked down at the ground.
Below is a forest near the hotel. In the distance is the main road and a bunch of red residential roofs.
Andre tied one end of the rope to a thick water pipe, and then placed the bundle of ropes on the edge of the rooftop.
This is his backup escape route. Together with the hotel's entrances, exits and stairs, and the elevator being blocked by the enemy, this is his way of survival.
After finishing the backup work, he walked back to his original position, chose a position on the rooftop with the widest view, then took out a bunch of strange metal pipes from the big bag, slowly assembled the pipes, and then put a thick piece
The canvas is fixed at the top.
Placed on the ground, it turned out to be a folding stool.
An assassin sniper needs to wait for a long time, and the fence on the edge of the rooftop is one meter high. It is not possible for a person to lie on the ground. He can only shoot from a sitting position. The only way is to keep the muscles from being in a state of fatigue as much as possible.
Only by putting the human body in the best shooting condition can a fatal hit be ensured.
Finally, the simple folding chair was finally adjusted to the most comfortable height. At this height, Andre could see the entire airport without exposing himself too much, and his body was in the most relaxed posture.
He sat back on the ground, took out another black plastic raincloth from the big bag, spread it on the ground, and then, as if holding a grand ceremony, slowly took out many fragmentary gun components from the bag -
- Bolt, bolt, stock, barrel...
All parts have a silvery matte finish, and it seems that the outer surfaces of all parts have been frosted.
Andre expertly assembled the parts one by one in a fixed order.
Assembling a sniper rifle is a very careful and careful job. Every sniper has received various assembly trainings, including gun assembly in the dark.
The sniper rifle in Andre's hand had been carefully inspected last night to ensure that there were no defects in the components.
In his hands, a "sniper rifle" that looks very similar to the M1891 Mauser was assembled. However, unlike that antique gun, the body of this gun is mostly made of metal.
, only a small section of the butt at the back is still made of wood.
Moreover, the barrel of this special sniper rifle is extremely long. With the barrel included, the entire gun is close to two meters!
The body and barrel of the gun are engraved with exquisite patterns, and the church inscription of the Brotherhood of the Holy Cross is engraved in Latin characters.
Andre took out a box and opened it gently, revealing twenty dragon-slaying bombs neatly placed inside.
The dragon-slaying bomb placed in the box has not yet been assembled. It is divided into two parts, front and rear, and neatly stacked in the foam groove of the box.
Each dragon-slaying bullet is used for ultra-long-distance sniping, so the surface manufacturing process of the projectile is almost abnormally demanding. Even if you look carefully with a magnifying glass, you can't see any excess on the surface of the projectile alloy.
pit.
Any tiny dent will become one of the factors that slightly affect the ballistics during long-distance flight. The surface of the dragon-slaying bullet is not all smooth. There is a spiral pattern carved on the surface of the warhead, which looks like
It seems to be a kind of decoration, but it is actually very learned.
These bullets are handmade by traditional craftsmen in the Holy Cross Brotherhood, and the production cost of each bullet is even more expensive than the entire price of an internationally renowned sniper rifle.
In fact, dragon-slaying ammunition cannot be measured by price at all, because apart from the craftsmen of the Brotherhood, there are only a very few people in the world who know how to make this kind of strange ammunition.
Andre injected the specially made high-explosive body into the rear interceptor body, and then connected it with the front-end warhead. Every step was done perfectly.
Then, he took out the cartridge case specially prepared for the dragon-slaying bomb, which had a special propellant sealed inside. Andre tore off the seal and pressed the warhead and cartridge case together with an exquisite bomb pressing machine.
Everything was so perfect, almost like a sacred religious ceremony.
With twenty rounds of ammunition ready, Andre breathed a sigh of relief. He took out two quick-loading belts, bumped one of them against the sniper rifle, and then buckled another belt on the back of his left hand.
The quick-loading belt is a tool for shooters who use single-shot bolt-action sniper rifles to quickly reload under some special circumstances. Each belt has five sockets and can insert five bullets.
After firing, the shooter can quickly retrieve the ammunition from the belt without having to reach to the side or retrieve the ammunition from his own tactical vest, thereby shortening the design interval and speeding up the shooting speed.
With bullets inserted into both cartridge belts, Andre's preparations came to an end.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
The time has actually reached half past five in the morning.
The preparation actually took him a full hour. Doing all this was really a physical job.
Sitting on the floor of the rooftop, with his back against the concrete fence, he took out the tea and high-calorie food that had been prepared from his backpack, and slowly ate a nutritionally balanced breakfast.
As one of the top twelve disciples, Andre planned every mission carefully. He treated assassination as an art or even a ritual.
After eating, he closed his eyes and began to rest.
After a while, he returned to his sniper rifle. Through the long scope, he saw the Gulfstream G500 still lying quietly on the tarmac.
Time begins to pass, minute by minute...
At 7:20, it was already dark, and the entire airport became even busier.
In the observation mirror, Andre saw several black bulletproof Mercedes-Benz cars speeding into the airport apron and stopping next to the apron near the secondary runway. Next to it was the G500 private jet he had been staring at.
"coming……"
He returned to the sniper rifle, put his eyes on it, slowly grasped the handle with his hand, and placed his index finger lightly on the trigger. The gun was already in firing state, just waiting for the owner's order.
In the high-magnification scope, the door of the black Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car opened, and several bodyguards in suits appeared in the camera.
Andre was stunned and immediately felt something was wrong!
