Under such an emergency situation, Ye Jian didn’t have time to choose a good hiding place. After she rolled to the side, she felt a stinging pain on her face. She knew that she had rolled into a bramble.
Brambles have many thorns and small leaves. They were thin and fine. She was hurt by the thorns but the lights weren’t able to find her. However, she was able to see the four enemies who were patrolling.
The people patrolling inside the base were holding AK-47 assault rifles. They were in camouflage attire and had bulletproof vests. Their footwear was waterproof military boots. If they had a military helmet, they would look like a normal soldier from the government army.
Xia Jinyuan, who was hiding, signaled to Ye Jian. He wanted them to split into two directions and tackle two enemies each.
The two of them exchanged glances through the night-vision goggles. They saw the coldness and firmness in each other’s eyes. This gave them confidence and encouragement as well as a sense of security.
Xia Jinyuan told Ye Jian that he would always hold her hand and walk with her.
Ye Jian told Xia Jinyuan that when he was tired, he could choose to believe her.
On the battlefield, they didn’t forget their words. They used their actions to prove that they were people who meant what they said.
Ye Jian nodded her head lightly to show that she understood. She saw Xia Jinyuan smiling. Then, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The sound of leaves rustling was heard. It sounded as if someone rushed through the bushes in a hurry to escape. The member of the al-Qaeda group walking in front maintained their high vigilance. He didn’t shine his lights in front immediately. Instead, he used the Urdu language to remind his teammates.
The four of them split into groups of two. Two of them walked towards the bushes which were shaking while the other two continued walking in front. After some distance, the one with the torchlight hung the light on the tree and the two of them came back silently.
They had undergone training so they knew how to lure their prey out.
But Ye Jian had been through training before too. Their decision made it easier for her to cooperate with Xia Jinyuan.
She placed a silencer on her pistol and silently came out from the brambles. She was holding the 9mm QSZ92 pistol she carried with her ever since she came overseas. Its effective range was 50m. The initial velocity was 350m/s. She was going to shoot within its effective range, which was 5m. That way, she would have the time to shoot the second bullet and kill both of the opponents.
Three light taps were heard from her earpiece. Xia Jinyuan was telling her that they would act three minutes later. Ye Jian used her finger to tap her earpiece back to show that she understood.
The torchlight on the tree swayed. The two people who sneaked back wouldn’t expect a bigger danger to be behind them.
She had already loaded her bullets. She crouched her body and walked lightly. She quickly shortened the distance between her opponents and her. She only stopped when she was four meters away from them.
After her opponents walked one meter, it would be five meters.
Principal Chen once said that Ye Jian was suitable to be a sniper. Not only did she have sharp judgment, but she also had a good gauge of her shooting speed too.
