Chapter 413 Ren Xiaosu in the Battle Between Snipers

When Zhang Xiaoman saw Ren Xiaosu take a deep breath, he felt that Ren Xiaosu could be about to try something dangerous. He wanted to stop Ren Xiaosu, but he was afraid he might throw Ren Xiaosu’s momentum off and end up harming him instead.

But to the surprise of everyone in the Razor Sharp Company, Ren Xiaosu darted out at a speed so quick it was blinding. He was moving way too fast!

Zhang Xiaoman was the only person who had noticed the unforgettable red glint in Ren Xiaosu’s eyes. Was that his power? If that were the case, it would mean that Ren Xiaosu had two powers just like Xu Xianchu!

When Xu Xianchu revealed both of his superpowers, the men from Fortress 178 were all extremely envious of him and everyone was saying how he was the “chosen one” because of that. When most people did not even have any superpowers, Xu Xianchu wielded two superpowers of his own. He was truly a unique existence at Fortress 178.

But after today, he would not be the only one anymore. Zhang Xiaoman firmly believed that Ren Xiaosu must also have two superpowers!

Their Razor Sharp Company finally had such an impressive supernatural being as well!

However, Zhang Xiaoman could not help but worry about Ren Xiaosu’s safety. Although charging out like this was a little better than being pinned behind the rocks, they were still quite a distance away from the sniper. If Ren Xiaosu were thinking about killing that sniper, it would probably be very difficult to accomplish.

But the moment Ren Xiaosu ran out, he said, “Stay right here and don’t move! Wait until I get back!”

City Crusher’s effective duration was only 30 seconds, and Ren Xiaosu calculated that the valley where the sniper would be “blind” was probably still about half a kilometer away. But if he had to avoid the sniper’s shots, he would have to serpentine.

Sprinting across nearly 500 meters in the presence of a sniper was equivalent to suicide for the average person. But Ren Xiaosu had to take the gamble!

The sniper was hidden in the shrubs in the 12 o’clock direction like a sinister vulture. He was aiming at the Razor Sharp Company through his scope and observing their every move. After making sure there were no snipers in this company, he began the game of cat and mouse.

After the sniper fired a shot at the black shadow that he suspected was a supernatural being, the entire company got pinned behind some rocks. He wanted to slowly torture this group of people to their deaths.

The sniper knew he could lie among the shrubs for three straight days and nights, but he did not believe that this group of normal soldiers could do likewise.

Time would pass arduously slow for them if they just remained hidden behind the rocks and took cover. The sniper believed that in just six hours, the company hiding behind the rocks would break down and end up charging at him.

But that would be an inconsequential struggle.

However, events conspired against him. The sniper was not expecting someone so quick to appear from behind the rocks. He couldn’t even adjust his sniper rifle to take aim at the target!

That figure serpentined wildly into the open ground as the sniper tried to shoot him twice but failed in both attempts.

Zhang Xiaoman and Jiao Xiaochen were not the types to sit back and do nothing. Zhang Xiaoman shouted, “Jiao Xiaochen, the sniper has a semi-automatic rifle! You only have one chance, protect Ren Xiaosu!”

Jiao Xiaochen did not utter a word. He understood what Zhang Xiaoman meant.

He waited silently for a moment before he heard the crack of the sniper rifle. Then Jiao Xiaochen raised his mortar and loaded a shell into it. With a loud bang, the mortar round was lobbed at a specific angle towards a hillside to their 12 o’clock.

Jiao Xiaochen did not know where exactly the sniper was. They only used that moment when the sniper fired his rifle at Ren Xiaosu to provide him some fire support.

They did not think the shell would actually hit the enemy, but as long as they managed to disrupt him, that would be enough for Ren Xiaosu to safely get across the open terrain!

Ren Xiaosu might be very fearsome, but their Razor Sharp Company was not useless!

After the mortar blasted, no gunshots came from the sniper anymore. Jiao Xiaochen muttered, “Did we blast the enemy dead with that mortar attack?”

“Fucking dream on!” Zhang Xiaoman joked. “If you can hit the enemy with a single shot, that’ll be like Lu Yao falling in love with you. It’s absolutely impossible.”

“I’m already married. Why would you mention Lu Yao?” Jiao Xiaochen countered, “You’re the one who’s pining for her, right?”

“Which man in Fortress 178 doesn’t miss her?” Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu and saw he had successfully run to a blind spot where the sniper could not see him. So he said, “Let’s remain safely hidden here and leave the rest to Ren Xiaosu. I believe he can take care of that sniper.”

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu was gasping for breath as he hid in the valley. The sniper had given him a lot of pressure, and if he had not activated City Crusher, he probably couldn’t have dodged the enemy’s bullets.

Ren Xiaosu had only decided to run out from behind the rocks after carefully considering it. Previously, he and Yang Xiaojin had experimented to see if she could shoot him while he was moving at high speed.

Of course, Yang Xiaojin would not really fire at him and only made a judgment call. If Ren Xiaosu did not activate City Crusher, Yang Xiaojin could shoot him with 100% certainty. But once he activated City Crusher, Yang Xiaojin’s hit rate was reduced to 70%. At that time, Ren Xiaosu was still a little dejected. Even though he activated City Crusher, he could only reduce Yang Xiaojin’s hit rate to 70%?

But Yang Xiaojin remarked that it was because she was the one holding the rifle. If it were any other sniper, it would not be bad if they could have a 10% chance of gunning him down while he was in his “City Crusher” mode.

At that moment, Ren Xiaosu did not know what to say.

However, this was the reason why Ren Xiaosu took the gamble. In the end, it seemed that Yang Xiaojin was not bragging when she said that. As expected, she was much stronger than most other snipers.

As Ren Xiaosu steadied his breathing, he started thinking about something. The sniper had probably already shifted to another location. After the sniper’s plan to pin down the company behind the rocks had failed, he would definitely have to engage in maneuver warfare.

Ren Xiaosu had to find and finish off this enemy. Otherwise, if they were to be constantly followed by a sniper during their march, who knew when the Razor Sharp Company would meet with disaster.

He crept in the shadows and headed to that mountain in the 12 o’clock direction in an attempt to find any tracks of the sniper. He had to be extremely cautious. If he were not careful, he might end up dead to his opponent’s rifle. Ren Xiaosu plucked two shrubs and smeared the crushed up leaves onto his face and clothes for camouflage.

He suddenly remembered what Yang Xiaojin had said to him. “When two snipers meet in the wilderness, whoever reveals themselves first will die. That’s the rule for all snipers.”

Ren Xiaosu took out the black sniper rifle from the palace and muttered to himself, “I should be considered a sniper too, right?”

So then, where would the sniper shift to after leaving that 12 o’clock position in the mountain range? Ren Xiaosu carried his sniper rifle and slipped into the mountains. This was going to be his first hunt as a sniper.
