Lin Beichen slowly took off his coat, put away his gun, and used the gun to support the coat as he slowly revealed himself outside the mountain rocks. This action indeed caught the attention of the enemy sniper, who immediately aimed at his coat.
"Bang!" A loud bang echoed as a bullet shot towards the mountain rocks where Lin Beichen was hiding.
At that precise moment, Lin Beichen swiftly leaped to the side.
The moment the bullet hit the rock, the massive rock shattered into fragments, smoke lingering in the air, demonstrating the immense power of the bullet.
Lin Beichen inwardly sighed at the disparity between the weapons, but he didn't have time to think further, as he was completely exposed without any cover. The only thing he could rely on was his speed.
His physical abilities were far superior to the average person, and at this moment, he heard the sound of bullets whizzing by from behind.
He knew the enemy was firing at him again, so he quickly dodged.
The bullets were fast, but his speed was faster.
Evading these bullets was not a difficult task for him.
As for the enemy's young sniper, upon seeing Lin Beichen's ghostly figure, he widened his eyes.
Every time he aimed at the opponent and fired, he could only see a fleeting shadow sweeping across.
He even suspected he was hallucinating, because how could there be anyone in the world with such incredible speed?
Fear began to rise within the youth's heart, his pride in his calm demeanor and strong psychological resilience crumbling instantly.
He continuously fired at the moving figure, yet the opponent easily dodged each bullet.
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Beichen had already moved to the other side of the ridge line.
As the opponent moved, the young sniper continuously adjusted his gun's direction and body position.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen kept using his peripheral vision to pay attention to the distance as he swiftly dodged.
He appeared to be dodging bullets, but in reality, each dodge brought him closer to moving in a fixed direction.
Without realizing, he had moved over a hundred meters to the left forward side.
Once he estimated the distance sufficiently, Lin Beichen swiftly dashed behind a pile of rocks because his opportunity had arrived!
He quickly set up his gun and aimed at the position of the enemy sniper. The change in his position revealed part of the sniper's body from his angle.
The enemy sniper had been stirred into a killing frenzy, eager to shoot Lin Beichen, unknowingly exposing his own position.
At that moment, the sniper hadn't realized his body was partially revealed.
Seeing Lin Beichen hide behind the rubble, he immediately aimed his gun, but just as he was about to shoot, the distant sound of a bullet slicing through the air suddenly rang out.
"Bang!" With a gunshot, the young sniper instantly saw a bullet flying towards him.
In that moment, he suddenly realized that the opponent's position now allowed a clear view of him.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he instinctively attempted to dart aside to avoid the bullet, but it was already too late.
"Puff," the bullet pierced quickly through his chest.
The youth felt severe pain in his chest, his eyes full of shock.
He looked down at his chest, the mangled injury leaving him in disbelief.
Soon after, his body collapsed to the ground with a thud, eyes unwillingly staring ahead until he ceased breathing.
He never thought he'd die on this desolate mountain today...
"The opposing sniper has been eliminated!" Lin Beichen said calmly into the communicator, as if he'd accomplished a trivial task.
Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, the others were initially stunned, then delighted.
They didn't expect Lin Beichen to eliminate the enemy sniper so quickly.
In a battle, snipers play a crucial role, capable of eliminating specified targets, inducing significant psychological pressure and panic, thereby disrupting the enemy's strategy and actions.
Now, with Lin Beichen slaying the enemy sniper, it was akin to cutting off their wings, instantly shifting the situation in their favor.
The opposing forces were already aware their sniper had been killed.
Moreover, the counterattack from these Huaxia soldiers was too fierce, nearly obliterating their mortar positions.
If the fighting continued, they feared they'd gain no advantage.
Hence, one of them yelled into the communicator, "Retreat! Everyone, retreat quickly!" Upon hearing this, the rest immediately turned and retreated swiftly.
Lin Beichen gazed at Xia Luyao's solemn face, sighed gently, and tenderly ruffled her hair.
"Alright, don't think too much; there's probably a tough fight ahead."
Xia Luyao looked up at him, quietly nodding.
Afterwards, they regrouped with the other teammates to discuss the upcoming strategy.
Facing the current crisis, Flame frowned, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Our vehicles are all blown up. What should we do next?"
Without transportation in this wilderness, they seemed trapped.
Xia Luyao also furrowed her brows; this issue was indeed tricky.
They had tracked Vine and others here, but lost their trail. Worse still, they were ambushed, with their vehicles destroyed.
"Who exactly ambushed us?" Flying Eagle suddenly posed a critical question.
Everyone fell into contemplation. Those ambushers were clearly well-prepared and well-equipped, far from any ordinary terrorist organization.
Lin Beichen pondered briefly and asserted, "It should be Zaka Organization."
"Zaka Organization? Why do you say that?" Everyone looked at him, puzzled.
Lin Beichen explained, "In the Ivya Region, only Zaka Organization dares to brazenly attack a Huaxia convoy. Furthermore, judging by their weaponry and gear, it's not something ordinary groups could possess."
Everyone nodded, feeling Lin Beichen's analysis made sense.
Lin Beichen continued, "Vine and his team could evade our pursuit likely with help from Zaka Organization."
This seemed to connect everything as if confirming Lin Beichen's earlier investigations, where he mentioned Zaka Organization had interests involving Vine. There must be a deep connection between the two. Vine might have known that Zaka Organization had set an ambush and purposely led them here. This way, he could escape pursuit and use Zaka Organization to counter them.
"That Vine character is truly cunning!" Flame said angrily.
Looking for guidance on the next steps, everyone turned to Lin Beichen and Xia Luyao.
Lin Beichen pondered momentarily before saying, "Since they want to help Zaka Organization obtain Yellow Cake, they'll likely keep searching and remain in contact with Zaka Organization until they succeed. Therefore, we must look for clues from Zaka Organization."
Everyone agreed. At this point, Yang Rui, the leader of the Jiaolong Assault Team, approached.
"Captain Xia, we only have two vehicles left under repair. We're planning to head to Basem Town to rescue hostages. What's your plan?" Yang Rui asked directly.
Communications with the warship indicated they had just over an hour before it departed, and repairs would take time. Ivya couldn't provide reinforcements but could offer a support point for temporary shelter. However, before retreating, they needed to head to Basem Town to rescue the Huaxia hostages.
Upon hearing the news, Lin Beichen asked immediately, "Are the hostages held by Zaka Organization?"
Yang Rui nodded solemnly, infuriated by Zaka Organization's arrogance. They had not only taken Huaxia hostages but also released a video threatening a reporter's assistant.
Lin Beichen thoughtfully decided, "Once the vehicles are repaired, we'll go to Basem Town with you. But don't misunderstand, we're doing it for the mission's sake."
He explained their decision to head to Basem Town was because Vine and others might have retreated there with Zaka Organization. Basem Town was close by and occupied by Zaka.
Yang Rui expressed understanding and gratitude towards Venomous Snake Special Team for their assistance. After that, he turned to deal with the troublesome female reporter.
Just then, a figure approached Lin Beichen and said, "You're Lin Beichen, right? I have something to ask you."
