Chapter 75: Chapter 75: If You Are the Enemy, Then You Are Doomed
Joe Ga had the capability for long-range shooting, but he had no interest in a game of hide-and-seek.
Nis found a room on the third floor of a small building, mounted her G29 on a table, fitted a night vision adapter to the sight, and then sat forward in a chair holding the rifle, three meters from a window, and began a patient and meticulous search and wait.
Antar, on the other hand, was busier; she had to create a map of sniper positions on two nearby hills, and every couple of hours release a drone to check on the enemy's situation at the hills.
Joe Ga found a position on the third floor of another building, creating a crossfire point with Nis.
However, compared to Nis's dedication, Joe Ga was much more amateurish; he could only bear to look through the scope for a few minutes before he became restless, and within an hour, he was leaning against a wall with his rifle, softly snoring.
The correct approach at this time would have been to compete in patience, or to have someone attempt to drive off and draw the enemy sniper's fire, then lock in on his location for a counterattack.
But Joe Ga wasn't fortunate enough to command others to take risks, and his own men were out of the question, so all that was left was to wait.
He hoped that the sniper would fire again to intimidate the people in the mining area, and then Antar would be able to lock onto his position.
The wait lasted a very long time, and when Joe Ga woke up, it was already light outside.
Seeing Karman dutifully standing at the door of the room he was in, Joe Ga stood up, rubbed his cheeks, and said to Karman, "You didn't rest last night, do you want to take the opportunity to sleep a while?"
Karman pointed to the coffee on the table that had gone cold and said, "No need, the Owl didn't find the sniper, but it did lock down the enemy squad's location.
More Dingka People have arrived outside, and I estimate they'll try to attack again today."
Upon hearing this, Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "These guys are clearly trying to draw reinforcements into a trap; as long as the security company's support doesn't arrive, they won't truly attack."
Karman immediately shook his head and said, "No, boss, you don't understand the Dingka People; once they have the chance, they'll definitely rush in here and steal everything of value.
The Dingka People aren't with those people up in the mountains, or at least their goals aren't the same."
Joe Ga frowned and said, "After so many Dingka People died last night, they still dare to be so bold?"
Karman spread his hands and shook his head, "Life is the cheapest thing in South SD."
Joe Ga's understanding of the overall situation was mostly based on speculation.
But he was just a businessperson; all he needed to do was act in his business's best interests.
Keeping Lu Jun, the wealthy patron, safe was imperative, and the guys who wanted to attack his helicopter had to be fiercely countered; everything else was simple.
The Dingka People really weren't much of an issue; if they came, they'd be killed.
Once those hidden in the mountains were dealt with, he could take the money and retire successfully.
Just as Joe Ga was about to go out and discuss with Lu Jun, his peripheral vision suddenly caught a glint.
His position was directly backlit by the sun, while the sniper hiding in the mountains faced it; as long as the lights weren't turned on inside the room on his side, it would be impossible for the sniper on the mountain to see inside the window clearly.
Joe Ga quickly grabbed his SVD and set up the rifle on a table three meters from the window, swiftly removed the night vision adapter, and began searching for the source of the reflection using the telescopic sight.
At the same time, Joe Ga pressed his walkie-talkie and said, "Owl, there's a reflection in the middle of the western hill."
No sooner had Joe Ga finished speaking than a loud gunshot rang out from the building next door, and then he saw a burst of blood mist explode at a bunker beneath a large tree in the middle of the western hill.
Through his sight, Joe Ga saw clearly that a camouflaged figure's upper body burst open from the shoulder, the body feebly jerked backward, and then there was no more movement.
"Enemy sniper killed, two people are trying to go over to check; should I kill them?"
Hearing Antar's emotionless tone, Joe Ga, curious, said, "Who fired just now?"
"It was Owl; she's been watching that spot this whole time. The enemy was well-camouflaged before, so she couldn't lock onto their exact location,"
"Boss, those two are almost here. Should we take them out?"
Upon hearing Nis's cool voice, Joe Ga decisively said, "Take them out."
No sooner had Joe Ga spoken than two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously...
"Bang" "Pop"
The two soldiers who were rapidly approaching the sniper from the top of the hill—one was hit in the waist and fell, while the other was hit by the TAC-50's large-caliber bullet right in the pelvis, almost completely blowing open half of the abdominal cavity with various organs spilling out onto the ground.
Just as Joe Ga was about to praise the sniper combo of Nis and Antar, white smoke suddenly billowed from the hilltop, quickly covering the area where the sniper was located.
At the same time, two streaks of flame shot out from the hilltop—two RPGs were launched toward the small building in the mining area.
Sizing up the trajectory of the rockets, Joe Ga knew they were aimed at Nis and Antar. He only had time to shout "RPG" before hearing an explosion on the outer wall of the adjacent building.
The hilltop was more than 1000 meters away from the small building, out of Joe Ga's shooting range. He could only hurriedly fire a few shots, causing the enemy, who had wanted to observe their handiwork, to take cover.
Seeing that his shooting wasn't effective, Joe Ga shouted anxiously, "Are you guys alright?"
"We're fine; the rocket hit the external wall. They don't know our exact location," was the reply.
Just as Joe Ga breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Jun rushed into the room with his bodyguards Brother Li and Brother Xiang, asking tensely, "Wolf Brother, what happened?"
Joe Ga gestured for everyone to exit, walked to the door, completely avoiding the windows, then said, "The enemy sniper is dead, and we've killed two others who came to check on them. It seems the enemy is now very angry; we need to discuss what to do next."
While Joe Ga spoke, a few more RPGs were fired at the small building, and this time, one of them hit a room inside the building where he was, resulting in an explosion.
The tremendous explosion startled everyone. Immediately, Brother Xiang pushed Lu Jun's head down to crouch in the corner, while Brother Li waved his hands and shouted to a group of panicked mine personnel trying to flee through the door, "Go back, close the door; you're safest inside the room."
This was the first time Joe Ga had experienced such a situation, yet compared to Lu Jun, he was quite calm.
As the sound of two machine guns erupted from the rooftop and the enemies on the hilltop were suppressed, Joe Ga called out over the radio, "Devil Bird, how is Owl?"
"Boss, the enemy was trying to rescue their wounded. Now, they should know that those three are dead. We're safe; you don't need to worry about us," came the response.
Hearing the enemy's previous actions were aimed at rescuing the wounded, Joe Ga was stunned for a moment, then looked incredulously at Lu Jun and said, "Who on earth have you offended?"
Just as Lu Jun was puzzled, Joe Ga's phone suddenly rang...
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, Joe Ga answered with a furrowed brow and a grave voice, "This is Hu Lang."
The person on the other end, upon hearing Joe Ga announce himself, said urgently, "Hu Lang, is it you guys? I heard the sound of a TAC-500, two shots killing two men."
Joe Ga, upon hearing this, furrowed his brows in reflection, then suddenly said in disbelief, "Dorian, where are you?"
Experience more at m_vl-em,pyr
"I'm at a Koldovan mining field. Was the person who just shot Devil Bird?"
After hearing that, Joe Ga said in a grave voice, "You're my enemy, so now you're a dead man!"
