Chapter 166 - A Sniper Stand off of Life or Death (1/2)

“All right.” Du Zhanpeng sighed. “Then we will do a frontal assault. Qin Fen, you are in charge of eliminating the sniper in the first instant. Lin Ling, Wuyi, and I will be in charge of disposing and dispersing the people wielding AK-47s as much as possible. Everyone else will act according to circumstances when the time comes.”

“My marksmanship is in no way lacking compared to anyone.”

Du Peng let out an ice-cold protest.

Du Zhanpeng got up and tidied his clothes for a moment. He turned around and faced the other recruits. He waved and gave a small yell, “Everyone, follow Qin Fen. Divided into two groups when we reach the location that the large rock. Half will go with me, and half will go with Qin Fen.”

After Du Zhanpeng finished speaking, he raised his leg and walked toward the rainforest. He completely ignored Du Peng from beginning to end. It was as if this young man didn’t exist at all.

“Du Zhanpeng…”

Du Peng had a certain desire to raise his gun and simply kill Du Zhanpeng. It was just that if he were to do such a thing on this island, the Du Family wouldn’t leave the matter at that. Even if he didn’t fear death, what about his mother?

With Qin Fen leading the way, like an old horse that knows its way back home, everyone quickly made it to the back of the large rock.

Du Zhanpeng quickly deployed their members. Arrangements were completed, but he forgot one person. Only Du Peng didn’t have a team he belonged to.

Du Zhanpeng brought the people allocated to him to begin moving toward the right side of the large rock. It was during this time that Du Peng heard Xing Wuyi whisper. “It seems like you haven’t given Du Peng an order.”

“You want me to give an order to trash?” Du Zhanpeng sneered as he retorted. “What kind of qualifications does he have to have me give him an order?”

Du Peng’s body trembled once more. His face was already gloomy, but it now turned even darker and colder.

“Don’t have the qualifications. Don’t have the qualifications. Don’t have the qualifications…”

These words swiveled within Du Peng’s mind like a curse. Ever since he grew to understand matters, he didn’t know just how many times he heard Du Zhanpeng say these words.

Du Zhanpeng arrived by Qin Fen’s side and extended his wrist. Then he gestured to synchronized their watches. They had already entered a combat state, so they needed to converse using only sign language. This was the safest thing to do.

The two people quickly synchronized their watches. Du Zhanpeng then pointed at the clock hand on the watch, once again confirming when the first shot will be fired.

Qin Fen nodded very cautiously. The instant when the time comes, he would need to open fire. Otherwise, the other comrades, who would duck out soon after, would likely be locked on by the enemy sniper.

Heaving the Barret M82A1 heavy sniper rifle, Qin Fen arrived at the path right of the large rock in a nimble manner like that of a cat. Snake Head, Mute, Big Rock, and fifty other people kept a small distance behind him. Du Peng was in the middle of their troops. He squatted down with his body and advanced forward along with the other recruits, but faced backward. The P308 in his hands quickly swept around the environment behind their troops. As long as there was the mere stir of grass and wind, he would be this troop’s guardian angel and confident soldier.

Practically at the same time, all the recruits turned off their safety on their guns. Snake Head nervously stared at Qin Fen, who he really admired. This recruit would be the first person to fire his gun, and he had to guarantee that he would eliminate the enemy sniper, yet he actually displayed a relaxed mentality just as always. His entire back leaned against the enormous rock, giving one a sort of feeling that he was bathing in the moonlight in enjoyment.

Du Zhanpeng looked at the clock hand on his watch once again. He silently closed his two eyes, completely relying on his senses to calculate the time. He didn’t go looking at the time any longer as he walked off.

He knew that observing his watch would leave him distracted. At the very least, he would be slower than Qin Fen by half a beat. This half a beat wouldn’t normally be a problem, but in such an environment, it was very likely to cause Qin Fen to lose his life.

Tick…

The clock hand on the watch pulsed once to reach the agreed-upon time between the two people. Qin Fen’s gun, which was vertical and faced the sky, was quickly lowered down. His body flickered into the center of the path thanks to his two legs using the Arhat Cloud Walk. A flame sprayed out in this instant from the Barret M82A1 heavy sniper rifle. The extremely loud gunfire resonated between the mountain path, which wasn’t that wide.

The bullet had a twist rate of one turn per two hundred seventy-nine millimeters, or eleven inches. It spun quickly in the air, slashing out a shrieking whistle.

The sniper within the pile of wood atop the second story had been lying in wait all this time. He was caught off guard by Qin Fen’s actions. As a sniper, Qin Fen had actually used the Arhat Cloud Walk martial art to move around? How in the world would the shot be accurate in this way?

Before this thought could flash completely in the enemy sniper’s mind, the bullet had already pierced the sniper lens on the enemy sniper’s sniper rifle. The bullet dug into his right eye, and the sniper’s skull exploded with a bang. Like a watermelon being struck, red and white brain matter and blood scattered and flew in all directions.

At the same time as the gunshots, all the people who stood next to Du Zhanpeng, suddenly felt the ground shake. It was as if something heavy had fallen to the ground from the sky, smashing the ground to cause this vibration.

The explosive speed of Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Calvary brought Du Zhanpeng to propel into the center of the road in the first instance. The cleaving strike of his palm turned into a powerful throwing blast. A highly explosive combustion offensive grenade, smaller than a fist, rolled through the air.

“Oh no!”

The fifteen gunmen with AK-47s lying low on the second story saw the grenade tumbled through the air, and they cried out in fear at the same time.

A sniper shot could only kill a single person. There was only one out of fifteen chance that they would die in such a case. However, if a grenade were to fall onto the rooftop of the second building, it would be hard to estimate how many people would die.

Four AK-47s pointed at the grenade that tumbled through the air at the same time. They fired in bursts, and in the instant the sound could be heard, the recruits who hid themselves behind the enormous rock collectively charged into the path with the utmost speed.
