Chapter 82: Night Raid (1)
Chapter 82: Night Raid (1)
Seeing that Huang Qian and Jia Xiang were not joking with him, Shi Xuan looked at Long Yu and saw that he was deep in thought.
Long Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I remember there was a mountain nearby. Let's go there to find more firewood before going back."
Since they only scraped together half a boat of supplies, they had to look elsewhere for more supplies.
While the four of them made their way to the mountain, Yao Ran was awakened by gunshots outside. Since the power outage, the apartment's soundproofing has deteriorated.
Yao Ran didn't know what technology the developers used when installing sound insulation in the apartment, but it did not seem to be working anymore. The developers must not have expected that this high-end residential area would have a power outage for a very long time.
Bang!
Before Yao Ran opened her eyes, another gunshot rang out in the silent night. She sat up and rubbed her forehead for a moment until the headache disappeared. After putting on her coat, she took the long sword and went to open the door.
Seeing her coming out, Deng Qiqi went to greet her, "Elder Sister Yao Ran."
Yao Ran saw her hiding by the window at the end of the corridor while Huang Zhihui was holding a gun and squatted beside the metal doors at the stairs.
She frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
Huang Zhihui turned to look at her and said, "We are surrounded."
Yao Ran approached her and leaned closer to the metal door. She heard some faint sounds coming from the other side of the metal doors.
She lowered her voice, looked at Huang Zhihui, and asked, "Do you know how many people came tonight?"
Huang Zhihui shook her head. "We don't know. In addition to these people surrounding the stairs, there are people from other buildings who are sniping at us."
Hearing this, Yao Ran's eyes turned cold. "The gunfire just now... was it from a sniper?"
Huang Zhihui nodded and said solemnly, "Yes. It was dark outside, and we couldn't determine the sniper's location or how many of them."
Yao Ran nodded, "I understand. You stay here for now."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After saying that, she returned to her apartment and took out three pairs of night vision goggles and night vision binoculars. She also took out a sniper rifle from her space.
After assembling the sniper rifle, Yao Ran put on a bulletproof vest and changed her pajamas. After she was done, she left the apartment with her sniper rifle and a long sword on her back.
She gave Deng Qiqi the night vision goggles and said, "Qiqi, go guard the metal door with Zhihui."
Deng Qiqi took the night vision goggles and nodded. She put on the night vision goggles and then handed the remaining one to Huang Zhihui. After that, the two squatted down and guarded the door.
After sending Deng Qiqi away, Yao Ran used night vision binoculars to observe the buildings in front of her. If a sniper is targeting them, the person must stay in the building opposite Building 3.
Yao Ran carefully observed the surrounding buildings and found movement in Building 5. Before she could see the sniper clearly, she suddenly felt danger and crouched down quickly. "Lower your head!"
Upon hearing her warning, Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi quickly lay on the ground and covered their heads with their arms.
Bang! Crash!
A second later, a bullet passed through the window, shattered the glass windows, and hit the wall beside the metal door. When Yao Ran saw the deep hole in the wall, she knew that the person who just took action was really going to kill them.
Huang Zhihui looked at the hole in the wall and said tremblingly, "This man is really here to kill people."
Unlike Huang Zhihui, who has an older brother who is a sniper, Deng Qiqi is just an ordinary civilian. When she saw the hole in the wall, she realized this was not a game. If they are not careful, they will die.
She glanced at Huang Zhihui's pale face and then at Yao Ran's cold face. Looking down, Deng Qiqi finally realized that the world had changed.
Without the law, whoever has a stronger fist can kill at will. Yao Ran was like this; so was the person who shot at them just now.
Deng Qiqi held the gun tightly and whispered, "Hui Hui, we can't die. We must survive and wait until Elder Brother Qian comes back."
Huang Zhihui turned to look at her friend and noticed some changes in Deng Qiqi. She reached out to hold Deng Qiqi's trembling hand and said, "Yes. We must survive and eat hot pot tomorrow."
While the two friends cheer each other on, Yao Ran is looking for a way to kill the sniper. She looked out the window again and quickly hid.
Bang!
A second later, another bullet hit the corridor wall.
Yao Ran calculated the time and tried several times before finding the time interval between each shot. The sniper will shoot again ten seconds after shooting, so she needs to make the most of the time and kill the sniper before the next attack comes.
Yao Ran took a deep breath and said, "You two, go back to your apartment. Don't come out until I call you."
Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi knew how dangerous their current situation was, so they didn't make a fuss and quickly crawled back to their apartment.
The sniper seemed to have seen them moving and shot at Huang Zhihui and Deng Qiqi, but the bullets missed, and the two returned safely.
One second after the bullet hit the wall, Yao Dashed squatted in front of the broken window and aimed at the corner of the rooftop of Building 5.
Through the sniper scope, Yao Ran saw the shocked expression on the sniper's face. She calmly aimed at his head and pulled the trigger.
Pshyu!
