Chapter 277 - Flatten Everything (1/2)

“Sigh, poor recruit Qin Fen. For his right arm to recover from the bone fracture in the shortest time, he had to try his best to reduce the vibration from the recoil of the gun body on his body by choosing not to withstand the stock[1] of the gun.” The voice of the commentator carried a slight disappointment.

“All the recruits, please keep your weapons and enter your hidden state.” The referee’s shout was heard in the earpiece of all the recruits, “We are now initiating the countdown. The battle begins in ten seconds. If any contestants have their weapons out and seek their opponent before the countdown ends, he will be considered cheating and will be disqualified.”

“Ten… nine… eight… three… two… one!”

Three recruits moved their counterattack radar immediately toward the direction they scanned previously, in which they expect their opponents to appear.

Boom!

As the bunker was pierced through by the fake bullets, three recruits fell on their back almost at the same time. The fake bullets exploded on their chests to release a pool of artificial blood.

“Ugh… ugh.. ugh…”

With three muffled grunts from the recruits, they released their counterattack radar equipment upon their bodies hitting the ground. Even for a fake bullet, to be struck by a sniper at such a distance, there was still a certain amount of impact.

Although it would not be lethal, nor would any bones be shattered, it would not be not surprising for a wide area of the chest to be reddened and for the victim to suffer from breathing difficulties for a short time upon taking a shot.

A bad start.

The recruit’s sniper tournament had just begun and three recruits had already been shot. The commanders have displayed a capability that was equal to the boasts they made before the tournament.

“African military region’s recruit number seventy-six Barry is shot and is out of the tournament. East Asian military region’s recruit number thirty-nine Zhao Zhiqiu is shot and is out of the tournament…”

From the earpiece, the recruits heard numbers of recruits who were their comrades and as well as their opponents that were eliminated from the tournament.

The other recruits who were close to the shot recruits were stunned. Isn’t their speed too fast? Did all the commanders start off as snipers? The three recruits that were shot had the agility comparable to a professional sniper and had the most precise hiding movements. How did those commanders determine that they were hidden behind those bunkers so accurately?

Those recruits that only heard the announcement through the earpiece were also dumbfounded. Isn’t this too fast? The battle had just begun, and three recruits are already eliminated?

The three recruits stood up, dejected, both their hands on their waist as they shook their heads repeatedly. This defeat is too random. There was nobody behind the predicted bunkers, and even they were shot, they were still unable to tell where the bullet came from.

Just as the three recruits stood up, frustrated, a recruit that did not even move an inch and was hiding behind a bunker felt a burning pain in his back. His body fell forward onto the ground and red blood could be seen on his back. A crisp firing shot sound also traveled from a distance.

“African military region’s recruit…”

Another recruit’s elimination was heard from the earpiece.

Qin Fen licked his slightly dry lips and had a faint smile in his eyes, “Interesting. To go against this group of commanders, it seems…”

A gunshot sound came from a position around four hundred meters away. The earpiece once again announced, “Real identity being Captain Lathy had been shot. Her takedown results before elimination are two recruits.”

“Oh my god! It actually hit!” The commentator shouted excitedly, “Did everyone see that? The shot was fired by the East Asian female recruit from the furthest position!”

Military enthusiasts viewed the replay in the small screen still dumbfounded. Dodge! Shoot! Return to the bunker! In just one second, the East Asian female recruit who was at the furthest position did all of this! If the dodging, shooting and returning to the bunker were to be divided into three parts, then the East Asian female recruit only took point thirty-three seconds in the shooting cycle.

With such a time, it would be barely enough just to pull the trigger. How did she find the time to search, aim and lock the target? Is it possible that her shot was a blind shot? What amount of luck do you need to pull off such a feat? Perhaps it would be less likely than striking the jackpot from the lottery?

Captain Lathy from America sat on the floor with a blank face. She stared at the bullet hole made by the fake bullet in the rock in front of her.

I’ve been pierced by a bullet that appeared out of nowhere just when my gun was out of the bunker for the third time, before I could even pull the trigger.

“How is this possible?” Lathy touched the red liquid on her chest. There was no sense of being targeted when that shot was taken, nor were there any feelings of being observed. It was as if the bullet was sent with God’s assistance.

No lock-on? Lathy scratched her head. Can a person shoot without locking on? Impossible! It must be locked-on! Only that that person completely concealed their locking on aura! This batch of recruits has such a talented person?

The other commanders patted their earpiece gently. Did their earpiece have a defect? Captain Lathy had been shot? She was someone who had participated in three consecutive recruit tournaments and had never been hit by anyone before. Especially during her second tournament, she was targeted by seven sniper recruits and was chased and attacked by all of them at once. Yet she still managed to escape and counterattacked, eliminating the seven experienced recruits.

Such a person could be eliminated at the start of the tournament? Was she careless? No, she couldn’t be! She excelled in hiding her aura up till the moment she takes her shot. Who shot her?

All commanders had Qin Fen’s figure appearing in their minds. Could it be him?

“Real identity being…”

A firing sound traveled from a distance toward the position of the commanding officers. The earpiece once again made an announcement before it could finish describing the previous elimination.
