The sound of gunshots and shouts became farther and farther away, and after about two hours, they finally disappeared...
Zhang Heng initially judged that they should have broken through the opponent's defense line.
The two came to the lake mentioned by the female doctor Maggie, and found an unowned small wooden boat near the shore. With this boat, Zhang Heng and Simon could completely get rid of the pursuers behind them. , no need to worry about being traced by hounds for breath or footprints.
However, just when Zhang Heng was about to board the boat, he was suddenly knocked down by Simon on the side. At the same time, a bullet hit the girl's shoulder.
Simon snorted. She and Zhang Heng had experienced so many rounds of battles, and their reaction speed was very fast. While the other party was pulling the bolt of the gun, the two of them had spread out, and each found a birch tree as cover.
The second bullet almost flew past someone's ear.
Zhang Heng was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't need Simon's prompting to know that the two of them had finally met a master this time. The previous battle seemed thrilling, but it actually reflected more of the fierceness of the opponent's firepower. It was truly one-on-one. In the battle, the two always had the upper hand.
The cooperation and discipline of this group of people are good, but their personal abilities are not as strong as expected. They are about the same level as the guerrillas, but they are incomparable to Simon. Even Zhang Heng has a big difference one-on-one. Be sure to win.
But the guy they met this time was obviously not among them.
Judging from the two shots just now, even if the opponent's strength cannot catch up with Simon, it is not far behind the latter.
This is a pretty tricky guy who can be considered the ace in any army.
Forget it if it was normal, but just now Simon was injured trying to save Zhang Heng. The arm she was hit happened to be the right hand holding the gun.
Although her left hand can also shoot after training, its speed and accuracy cannot compare with her right hand, and it will be fatal in a duel at this level.
Zhang Heng knew that the two of them had reached the most dangerous moment. With the current visibility in the woods, the Shadow Moment, which he regarded as his trump card, could not be used. If the opponent continued to maintain this confrontation and called his companions at the same time, then the situation of the two would be It can become extremely dangerous.
However, for some unknown reason, the guy hiding in the darkness opposite didn't do this.
After those two gunshots, the forest returned to silence, as if nothing had happened. The breeze was blowing, and only the small wooden boat by the lake was still swimming gently with the water waves.
Zhang Heng saw blood flowing out of Simon's fingers. The latter frowned. Although she didn't say a word, the impact of this shot on her was obviously quite large. Her right hand should have temporarily lost its fighting ability.
Zhang Heng took a deep breath and made a relaxing gesture to the girl. In the past, it was Simon who stepped forward in such situations, but this time Zhang Heng knew that it was his turn to stand up.
He took out the wooden sculpture in his arms and stretched it out quietly. The next moment, gunfire flashed in the forest, and the sniper hidden on the opposite side pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullet flew out from the barrel of the gun and accurately hit the wooden sculpture that stretched out. Zhang Heng clenched his palm hard to prevent the wooden sculpture from letting go.
Then he brought the wooden sculpture back in front of him. From the angle of the bullet, he could roughly calculate the location of the sniper on the opposite side. If Simon was standing here now, he would most likely be able to fire back.
However, Zhang Heng could only barely circle the opponent's general range with this bit of information. If he stuck his head out like this, he would have almost no chance of winning.
There was already a big gap in marksmanship between the two sides. Only by accurately determining the opponent's position could he have a chance to fight. So Zhang Heng took out a previously captured cartridge case lighter and used the same method to detect it. When he went out, the other party was not polite. This time, the shell lighter was knocked out of his hand.
Zhang Heng was not anxious at all, and then took out a third thing. This time the sniper on the opposite side was smarter. He had already guessed Zhang Heng's intention and was completely unmoved. Ignore any temptation.
So Zhang Heng took the phone back two minutes later. He had not used it since he joined the guerrillas. Originally, more than half of the battery was left, but after two months of storage, it only had less than 10% left. , but the 10% of the power was put to use tonight.
Zhang Heng was simply bullying the opponent who had never seen high-tech. The previous two times were just smoke bombs, but this time he directly turned his phone into video mode, and recorded unscrupulously for two minutes outside, and then used a flash to finish it at the end. Four consecutive shots.
This time, I finally found the guy's hiding spot.
The other party was well prepared. Not only did he wear camouflage clothes, but he also blocked dead branches and snow in front of him, completely blending in with the surroundings. It was almost impossible to spot him without careful observation, but unfortunately he was still exposed to the 12-megapixel Leica. Under the lens.
But what comes next is the truly dangerous moment.
Zhang Heng knew that his side had the advantage of having two people. The other side could not guess who would launch the next attack, so his energy was bound to be spread between the two of them... No, that's not right, Zhang Heng I enlarged the photo in my hand again, and it could be seen from the above that the sniper's expression was obviously excited and eager to try.
Is this—enjoying the joy of hunting dangerous prey?
Zhang Heng suddenly understood why the other party had not called his companions until now. He was waiting here for his prey. This was his hunting. The pride of a master did not allow him to use any external force.
Zhang Heng is quite self-aware about this. He knows that the person waiting for the other party is definitely not him, but Simon, who best represents the White God of Death. It seems that the shot he fired at the lakeside was to kill him. After that, the two men cleared the field in a duel, but they didn't expect that the shot accidentally landed on Simon.
But even so, most of his energy is still focused on Simon.
Zhang Heng gestured to the girl, who nodded, released his injured shoulder, and held the rifle in his hand.
Even if he couldn't see what was happening on the other side, Zhang Heng could guess that the sniper must be breathing rapidly.
The decisive moment has come.
The next moment, a black shadow jumped out from behind the tree!
The sniper lying on the ground widened his eyes and his face flushed with excitement.
prey? ! No, it's a trap!
His brain made a quick judgment, and it only took a few tenths of a second to tell that it was just a coat. Although he turned the muzzle of the gun, he restrained the urge to pull the trigger at the critical moment.
At the same time, he was completely excited. Since Simon had made a move, it meant that she must be preparing to fight back. And now that the latter's trick was seen through by him, that meant...
However, his pupils couldn't help but shrink immediately, because Simon did not rush out from behind the birch tree where she was hiding. On the contrary, Zhang Heng on the other side rolled over and left his bunker.
The unknown sniper made a fatal mistake at this time. He still thought that Simon's side was the main attack point. The clothes before and the Zhang Heng who appeared now were just for containment, so he did not turn the gun at the first time.
Of course, this was also because he was confident enough in the hiding spot he had chosen. He didn't think someone would be able to find his exact location so quickly, so he hesitated for a moment.
On the other side, Zhang Heng picked up the rifle as quickly as possible. His condition was surprisingly good. The aiming and fixing the posture that took time in the past were done almost subconsciously. Through photos and videos, he He also knew the hiding spot of the guy across from him very well.
When he was half-kneeling on the ground, the muzzle of the gun was naturally pointed at the unknown sniper. The latter also reacted very quickly and decisively turned the muzzle when he sensed danger.
Something rang in Zhang Heng's ears, but he was so focused that he had no time to distinguish it. The two of them pulled the trigger almost at the same time.
It's just that one person's bullet grazed the target's cheek and flew by, while the other person's bullet accurately passed through the opponent's brainstem.
