Chapter 209 - Kiting
Chapter 209: Kiting (Part one)
This sniper shot not only shocked everyone at the scene like thunder on a sunny day, even the commanders at the monitoring center were caught off guard. On the screen inside a bush, Xu Cheng was using a sniper rifle, and after headshotting someone, he immediately ejected the shell, chambered a new round, and headshot another soldier from the 28th MR.
“Flash snipe!” The commanders subconsciously shouted as they observed this. (TL Note: flash snipe means no scope)
Yes, Xu Cheng didn’t even use the scope to aim but just went with his senses and landed two headshots in a row. Li Wei and the others noticed him and they immediately fired back. Xu Cheng didn’t dodge but was making slight movements.
Right, it wasn’t mistaken. He wasn’t running around or rolling on the ground to dodge the bullets, nor was he just running after taking one shot. He was just making slight movements with parts of his body. From the moment a bullet burst out from Li Wei’s muzzle, he already captured the trajectory and speed as if he was hacking, and he could predict the rest and evade accordingly, seemingly effortlessly. Then, he would raise the sniper rifle again and take another shot at a soldier from the 28th MR.
Peng!
Another headshot.
Within a few seconds, three people were already on the ground.
Several commanders directly shot up from their chairs and went to the big screen to see how Xu Cheng was still managing to not get injured while taking shots. They were completely dumbfounded.
“He… He didn’t get hit?”
The analyst said, “No, the sensors on him didn’t detect him getting hurt.”
“How’s that possible?” the commander of the 28th MR immediately shouted, “I believe in our Li Wei’s shooting skills. It’s impossible that this guy’s dodging the bullets at this range.”
Commander Xie: “But he’s doing it right now.”
The commander whose team got eliminated first looked at the Xu Cheng on the screen and said, “Tsk tsk, he didn’t leave but actually came back. This guy’s really an intelligent man with big nuts! And just how he’s gracefully dodging the bullets is enough to showcase his skills.”
Commander Xie smiled. “He’s Xu Cheng.”
The 21st MR’s commander: “The head of the Three Swordsmen?”
Commander Xie nodded.
On the battlefield, the remaining 28th MR soldiers had almost lost their minds by Xu Cheng’s sudden appearance and how he so easily took down three of their guys. They immediately went to find cover and tried to move towards Xu Cheng. Li Wei was also dodging while firing shots at Xu Cheng. There was only one enemy, so the rest of the 28th MR team wasn’t too worried after calming themselves down. They began focusing fire on Xu Cheng.
With too many bullets in the air, Xu Cheng felt that it was a bit tiring to dodge them all. He immediately hid behind a tree.
Li Wei and the other 4 teammates confidently moved forward with their rifles pointing at the tree. With a wave of his hand, the 4 teammates closed in on the tree and accelerated as they approached.
Seeing them surrounding him, Xu Cheng still appeared to be quite calm. He immediately took out two grenades he prepared and threw them at two sides. Li Wei and the others were shocked and they backed off right away.
With a loud boom, dirt and grass flew everywhere.
At the instant those 5 people were busy jumping away, Xu Cheng suddenly appeared and fired two no-scoped shots at two of the soldiers in mid-air. They were all hit in critical spots and directly eliminated!
Chapter 209: Kiting (Part two)
Then, Xu Cheng casually dove into a bush, like an assassin calmly and handsomely returning back into the darkness after taking out his target.
A commander: “Does this guy not need the scope to shoot with that sniper rifle?”
“Those two shots were difficult because the targets were in mid air. He was actually still able to take out two people. This guy’s shooting skills and methods are very terrifying.”
Seeing two more teammates get taken out, Li Wei was immediately infuriated. He chased after Xu Cheng right away with his rifle and dagger as he shouted, “Fack this guy up!”
Xu Cheng calmly picked his escape route, and those spectating commanders shook their heads. “That won’t do. There’s the 33rd MR on the outer area. He’s better off staying in the area and trying to take out the rest of the 28th MR. The moment he gets spotted by the 33rd MR, they will very likely work with Li Wei to take him out. It’s unfortunate, Old Xie, your other soldiers were just taken out way too fast man. If they actually played around Xu Cheng, maybe something beautiful would’ve happened.”
How would Commander Xie not know this?
Instructor Yan, who had been sitting at the back, suddenly said out of the blue, “In this chaotic jungle battlefield, an elite-level lone wolf is the most difficult to deal with. I understand Xu Cheng. When he couldn’t convince Hu Bing, even if he left, he would come back. I think he wasn’t doing it to save his team, but was rather using this opportunity to ambush the enemies from behind and harvest all the points! Commanders, you probably forgot a very critical point. How did he really avoid all of those people of the 33rd MR and return to his starting location? Xu Cheng’s very skilled at avoiding people, traps, mines, and such. During the exercises we had, he was able to avoid threats every single time.”
The several old commanders listened to what he said. In the video, Xu Cheng was sprinting in the bushes. He was very quick, and although he was carrying a big sniper rifle, it didn’t affect his speed and ability to jump and run at all. In addition, his other hand wasn’t idling as well, as it was retrieving bullets from his vest and reloading his clip. Then, taking a look at the rest of the 28th MR that was still chasing him, he found the gap between them to be becoming bigger and bigger.
This gap was enough for Xu Cheng to turn around and unscrupulously continue to open fire with his sniper rifle.
This range placed great restraints on the rifles and pistols Li Wei and his team were using, as both the accuracy and damage would take a huge hit at long distances. It was way too easy for Xu Cheng to dodge. They just saw Xu Cheng suddenly stopping, turning around, and firing a shot at one of the soldiers.
The scope wasn’t involved at all, it was basically all flash sniping.
The 7 soldiers chasing after Xu Cheng didn’t expect this at all. When one of the soldier just jumped over a bush, he just felt great impact against his chest as he fell back to the ground, with the system telling him that he was out.
Xu Cheng’s movements were very quick and agile. He took one down and immediately took aim at another. The sound of another gunshot pierced the jungle..
“Get down!” Li Wei shouted. He directly pulled one teammate down, helping him dodge a bullet.
The remaining six soldiers looked at each other. They didn’t expect Xu Cheng to be this fierce. Those evasive and aiming movements were still vivid in their eyes.
“Boss, what should we do?” the six of them laid on the ground and said worriedly.
Li Wei looked at the remaining five of them and said, “This guy’s shooting skills this year are too terrifying. We can’t keep getting kited by him like this. He’s using the sniper, we can’t play with him with our rifles at all. We must get close to him and then take him out! How about this, you guys lay down cover fire and attract his attention, I will go around. It doesn’t look like he’s running anymore, the people of the 33rd MR are just outside.”
The other 5 people nodded. “Alright, is three minutes enough?”
Li Wei: “Two is enough. Let’s do this.”
