Chapter 278 - The Daring Spirit of a True Expert (1/2)

The commander who had been targeted by Qin Fen immediately threw his sniper aside. Supporting his body on his two palms, his body writhed like a snake in the grass as he shot towards the rear of another bunker using the move Snake Escape.

Right then, the bullet penetrated through the bunker he was previously behind. The commander who had just escaped to the rear of another bunker stared blankly at the huge bullet hole before him, as well as his chest that was dyed with red.

I have been hit! In the situation where I dodge to another bunker and got rid of the lock on me, I still got hit!

The commander turned his head as he looked at the place from where he had just escaped. The anti-sniper equipment was quietly lying there. There wasn’t a single bullet hole around it.

The commander shook his head, again and again. How can a new recruit study sniping and anti-sniping psychology so thoroughly? He had never planned on shooting at the original position from the first place!? He had already calculated that the place where the battle would end would be this bunker!?

“I saw Qin Fen at…”

An American commander wearing a major general’s uniform shouted into his communicator. Immediately, all other commanders aimed their snipers at the coordinates from the tactical caller.

Qin Fen! Right! That’s the recruit who appeared on the projection screen! He has actually fled to such a distant position and can still shoot the target dead-on! No wonder he was so arrogant before the battle, he does, indeed, have the capital to be arrogant.

However…

Only one thought crossed the minds of the remaining commander at the same time: Brat, your time to be arrogant is over.

Almost ten snipers were simultaneously aimed at Qin Fen, locking onto Qin Fen.

“Qin Fen is about to lose…” The commentator grabbed the mike nervously. “He had angered all the commanders. I am afraid he had to really withdraw from the tournament this time. Poor Qin Fen, he has somehow become a scapegoat for Lin Ling…”

“He actually hasn’t moved…” The other two commentators also grabbed their mikes and shouted, extremely perplexed.

The Sniper Tournament had always been for experts, as only they could appreciate the artistry. Even if a layman watched the tournament, they would be unable to enjoy it.

The sniper tournament had always been very dull. Only a single shot would be fired after a very long time before fighting silently for a long period of time once again. Only a few military fans liked watching it.

However, today’s game was completely different from any of the other sniper tournaments held in the previous recruit tournaments. With the commanders being frequently sniped, the commanders weren’t pulling any punches. As always, Qin Fen had subverted the original rhythm of the game. He laid down on the ground and fought the sniper battle in a way similar to a frontal battle.

Qin Fen’s hair stood erect as nearly ten snipers aimed at him. Goosebumps the size of rice grain exploded all over his body. The killing intent of these commanders was transmitted out of nowhere the moment they locked on to him.

Bang… bang… bang…

Almost ten snipers angrily fired a bullet at the same time. They drew beautiful parabolas in the sky that were invisible to a naked eye as they shot towards Qin Fen’s position one after another.

“It’s over, Qin Fen would have to withdraw from the tournament…”

The commentators shouted loudly with their fluid lips. From the beginning to end, Qin Fen remained lying on the ground, motionless, as if he hadn’t been locked on by anyone.

Locked on!? It didn’t mean that the bullet would find its mark! Qin Fen, remaining completely still, squeezed the trigger, continuing to fire lethal rounds at the commander camp.

The closest bullet should hit one and a half meters on the right side of my body! Qin Fen squeezed his right eye twice as the bullet hit the calculated position.

“Unfortunately.” Qin Fen grinned as he continued to pull the trigger. “If it had been replaced by mercury bullets or frangible bullets, I would have run away already.”

Having taken precautions, the commanders were caught unaware and shot to death at the very beginning. Every time these commanders discovered Qin Fen aiming at them, they would execute some kind of movement techniques to escape as soon as possible.

They were afraid, they were really afraid. Qin Fen’s shots were more accurate than the sickle of death reaper itself. Not a single shot had missed at all. The key problem was he was still so far away.

“Be careful! There is another sniper three hundred meters behind Qin Fen! Her marksmanship is equally accurate…” the American commander wearing the major general uniform had only spoken half his sentence before he stopped. Lin Ling’s shot made this American commander, who was wearing the major general uniform, personally experience what was called a super long-range shooting.

The scalp of commanders’ started to tingle as a chill ran up their spine, shooting straight to their heads. The appearance of a monster such as Qin Fen among the recruits was already giving them a headache. Now, there’s another soldier that was even more difficult to deal with than Qin Fen? Is the history of the sniper tournament going to be completely rewritten in this recruit tournament? Will all the commanders fall in the battle?

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang…

With Qin Fen and Lin Ling as restraints, the commanders did not have much energy to deal with the other recruits.

The recruits participating in the tournament were all gifted. More importantly, as a sniper, they needed to be able to read changes in the battlefield. For the first time, the recruit all realized that the balance of the battle had begun to tilt. The chance to fish in troubled waters was at hand.

Suddenly, gunshots broke the silence of the sniper battlefield as dozens of guns simultaneously popped at the rear of the bunker. Like a bustling scene of firecrackers everywhere on the eve of the new year, the flashes from gunshots appeared on the battlefield.

The commanders who had been dodging were enraged! If these cream recruits were around in a normal situation, they would be nothing more than waste that would be tidied up just as casually! But now, they were actually started to fish in troubled waters by taking advantage of the fact that the commanders have been pinned down by the two super shooters, Qin Fen and Lin Ling.

For the first time since the start of the tournament, the recruits could set up their equipment leisurely and aim at their desired target carefully. They could then fire if they found even a little chance of hitting their target as their targets took evasive maneuvers continuously.

If it was in a normal situation, dozens of guns would not even be able to hit the ten commanders. At most, it would throw them into confusion. The recruits would be beaten to the point where they would not even be able to lift their heads.

But today…

BANG…

A commander was suddenly shot and fell on the ground. The commander pounded his fist on the ground in such anger that he didn’t even notice the sharp pain coming from his chest due to his blood and qi in ebullition.

Disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful!

Not only was he shot dead by a recruit in the battle, but he also didn’t “die” under Qin Fen’s hands. He was killed by an American recruit who was fishing in troubled waters.

Qin Fen, with a nonchalant expression, kept on firing shots one after another. Lin Ling too gave up her cover of the bunker and distanced herself from Qin Fen in the rear by almost four hundred meters. At such a distance, is she still afraid of getting hit?

The rate of fire of the two was also getting faster and faster. Gunshot after gunshot rang to no end. In response, the commanders immediately activated their true energy one after another and used all kinds of evasive actions, causing the dust and rocks to fly into the air, leaving tens of thousands of spectators in marvel.

The expression on the faces of military fans became more and more amazed. At first, they were expecting to see a cold war between vipers, experience that calm hot-blood on the silent battlefield.

However, Qin Fen… the saboteur of rules of engagement had once again broken the regular rules of engagement of sniper tournament like he had done in the pistol shooting tournament and semi-automatic rifle shooting tournament before.

A calm contest between poisonous vipers had been turned into a battlefield encounter with him firing bullets continuously. Both sides had started to attack each other head-on rather than the calm attacks between the vipers.

Such a battle looked like tasty eye candy, but the technical content… the military fans shook their heads helplessly. It can’t be said that the technical content was low; who had ever seen a sniper using a powerful and weighty anti-sniper equipment like a semi-automatic rifle over a very long distance?

There was almost no pause between each gunshot. And each shot was fired with terrifying precision. It should be said that the technical content was in fact higher.

However, in regards to this improved technical content in sniper tournament, the military fans could not really recognize this as a sniper battle.

Two snipers with horrifying accuracy and speed, as well as several dozen snipers with a pretty good foundation and morale soaring like a rainbow, were up against less than ten commanders. For a moment, the new recruits were at an overwhelming advantage.

“Use the dummy help system! Use the dummy help system!”

The European Lieutenant Colonel, who was hiding behind the bunker shouted the order repeatedly. Under the ground in the wilderness, behind the stone bunker, over a hundred dummy snipers popped up one after another.

In the precious sniper event of the recruit tournament, the dummy snipers only usually appeared at the last stage, which was the opportunity given to the few surviving recruits to rake in some points. It was also a kind of rewards given to the recruits by the commanders.

These dummy snipers, that were supposed to provide assistance to commanders, had never been taken seriously by the commanders in previous tournaments.

But today, these dummy snipers, that had always been looked down upon, finally become their helper in true sense for the first time.

Once over a hundred dummy snipers popped out, they immediately began to use their search system to locate the recruit who had left their bunkers.

Locate, aim, and fire…

Slow as this kind of electronic system was, they made up for it with their large numbers. For a moment, several over-excited recruits were sent out of the battlefield by dummy bullets.

“So you are here.”

A sliver of a cold smile appeared in Qin Fen’s ice-cold eyes. That European lieutenant colonel was hiding in a very good location. Combined with his first-class camouflaging technique, it had been really difficult to locate him had he not given himself away because of his anxiousness.

“Not good!”
