Chapter 149 The Team's First Combat Drill

Zhang Jianing stared intently at the scope, her heart pounding, her palms sweating profusely.

She was, after all, a girl who had never even killed a fish before. It was only natural that she would be nervous and scared when she was asked to shoot someone.

But she also knew in her heart that Du Bois had come with ill intentions, clearly wanting to both steal the gold and seek revenge on Zhou Xin.

Moreover, she is now willing to do anything for Zhou Xin.

If Zhou Xin asked her to shoot someone in the head, she would do it without hesitation, even though she was afraid.

As long as Ah Xin is by my side, what do I have to be afraid of, even if the ghost of the person I killed comes looking for me?

She knew that with her current marksmanship, it wasn't impossible for her to aim at the leg but hit the head instead.

Therefore, the moment she agreed to Zhou Xin's request, she was already mentally prepared to go all out.

Anyway, these guys are all vicious villains, and they deserve to die.

The target was slowly approaching her, and she could see it clearly through the scope.

When Dubois and his group were less than 400 meters away, she could clearly distinguish their legs.

She took a deep breath, calmed her rapidly beating heart, recalled what she had learned during this period, adjusted the barrel of her gun, and slowly aimed at Du Bois's leg, who was leading the charge.

However, since everyone was constantly moving, she had to anticipate their movements in advance to have any chance of hitting the target.

The difficulty of shooting in this situation is naturally incomparable to shooting at a stationary balloon.

She held her breath; sweat was already beading on her forehead.

The next moment, she gritted her teeth and decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!

The piercing sound of gunfire ripped through the night sky, startling flocks of birds into flight.

In the scope, Dubois collapsed, clutching his groin and screaming in agony as he rolled around.

In the quiet night, the sound could travel far, and the group heard faint screams.

Poor Dubois, whose legs had just healed from being injured by Zhou Xin, has now had his genitals shattered by a 7.62mm bullet.

Zhang Jianing was surprised to find that she was not afraid at all, but was actually very happy because she had successfully hit the target.

"Could it be that I am actually a ruthless woman?"

For a moment, her feelings were very complicated.

"Excellent, this is your best performance yet." Zhou Xin's praise came through the special operations headset.

"I feel a pain in my groin too!" Edward said, grimacing.

"I'm sorry, I meant to hit his leg!" Zhang Jianing's face flushed.

"That's not wrong either, you hit his third leg," Zhou Xin joked.

Zhang Jianing covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her face flushing slightly.

The atmosphere was relaxed and cheerful, without any sense of tension or impending danger.

"The remaining few are still heading this way. Be careful, they've split up!" Zhou Xin warned, watching the movements on the monitor.

The group immediately refocused their attention on the enemy in front of them.

The remaining five people, realizing they had been exposed, immediately split up and hid, while simultaneously moving back towards the living area.

It was clear that they were a group of desperate criminals who had no intention of backing down.

Zhang Jianing aimed again and fired a shot.

Unfortunately, the other side was on guard this time, and she missed her target.

She aimed again and tried a few more shots, but still missed.

"Edward, two men are heading your way, and they're both carrying shotguns. Don't let them get close!" Zhou Xin continued to warn.

Edward had also spotted the enemy's movements. The five men split into three groups: two continued moving forward in the original direction using a serpentine weaving motion, while the other three bypassed them and approached the living area from another direction.

The spot in front of us, in the direction we were originally facing, is where Edward is hiding.

Edward, hidden in the shadows, watched the two slowly approach by the moonlight.

It was also his first time using a gun in actual combat, and he was a little nervous, but he was much better than Zhang Jianing.

"Since Xin wants me to guard this place, I will not let you pass no matter what!" he shouted in his heart.

Although Zhou Xin had instructed him to wear a bulletproof vest, it could only protect his body.

However, although he was nervous, he was not afraid at all. Now, he was willing to risk his life for Zhou Xin.

Before meeting Zhou Xin, his life was a complete mess.

What he wanted to do seemed impossible to achieve, so he gave up on himself and completely abandoned hope.

However, Zhou Xin's appearance brought him a glimmer of hope.

This person, who had no connection to me, was willing to help me pay off my debts and rescue me from my creditors' custody.

Moreover, he was willing to take me to pan for gold, finally giving me a glimmer of hope that my idea could be realized.

The things I want to do are really too difficult; they require not only abundant financial resources but also that I become strong enough.

And Xin seems to be gradually helping himself to achieve both of these things.

Therefore, I must fight hard for Xin, even at the cost of my life.

Because that would help Xin, and also help oneself.

Edward remained motionless in the shadows, watching the two men cautiously approach him, shotguns in hand.

Because they were wary of Zhang Jianing's sniper shots, the two of them kept looking for cover as they walked.

If they get close, they might use his hiding place as cover, and then they'll run right into him.

Thus, the idea of ​​shooting from behind was shattered after they passed by.

We have no choice but to confront them head-on.

Fortunately, the other side was unaware of his existence, so he had to take them by surprise and kill them outright or render them incapable of resistance.

Although Zhou Xin warned him that the other party was carrying a shotgun and not to let them get close, he knew that his marksmanship was still terrible and he was likely to miss at long range.

Therefore, he decided to take a gamble and launch an attack when the two were about ten meters away from him.

He held his breath, allowing himself to become one with the darkness.

50 meters, 40 meters, 30 meters——————

The two men meandered their way, searching for cover and getting closer.

When he was less than 15 meters away, he knew his chance had come.

The next moment, he suddenly poked his head out from behind cover, rested the butt of his gun on his shoulder, and opened fire on the two men.

The bullets rang out like firecrackers. The M4 had a high rate of fire, and in no time, he had emptied the magazine.

The two men had no time to react, not even time to instinctively fire a shot, before they were riddled with bullets.

Edward, panting heavily, prepared to go forward and check on the situation.

"Don't go over there!"

Zhou Xin's voice came through the headphones.

Edward immediately stopped in his tracks.

Zhou Xin stared intently at the screen, watching the person who was about to lean out and attack Edward.

That guy moved very cautiously the whole way, constantly looking for cover to check the situation ahead, which prevented Zhang Jianing from having a chance to hit him.

It's clear that he has roughly determined Zhang Jianing's location.

This is a master!
