His heartbeat was like a drum, and his breathing became rapid and disordered. The inertia of falling made snowflakes fly everywhere, forming a small snow mist around him.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, Xiao Yi's mind was blank, only his body was moving out of the instinct of survival. His body pressed a human-shaped dent in the snow, and he tried to hide himself in this dent, waiting for the next step of action.
Just as Xiao Yi fell to the ground, a sharp gunshot pierced the silent cold air.
A bullet whizzed in, carrying a deadly threat. The bullet was like a silver lightning, brushing past Xiao Yi's arm.
Xiao Yi only felt a burst of hot air passing through, followed by a burst of burning pain from his arm. He could even clearly feel the impact and pressure brought by the high-speed flying bullet.
The wind brought by the bullet lifted the corner of his sleeve and instantly cut through the fabric. At that moment, time seemed to slow down extremely. Xiao Yi watched the bullet flash past his eyes, as if it was the scythe of the god of death passing by.
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, mixed with the cold snowflakes, which was particularly pungent. A shallow blood mark quickly appeared on Xiao Yi's arm, and blood slowly seeped out, staining the surrounding clothes red.
He gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, not even daring to breathe. His heartbeat was like thunder, as if it was about to burst out of his throat. The cold wind blowing across his injured arm exacerbated the pain, but Xiao Yi didn't dare to move at all, for fear of provoking another attack from the sniper.
Just as Xiao Yi fell to the ground, a sharp gunshot pierced the silent cold air.
After the bullet grazed his arm, Xiao Yi ignored the pain in his arm and quickly rolled on the snow, rushing towards the nearest big rock.
His body left a deep mark on the snow, sending snowflakes flying everywhere. Every movement was accompanied by tense muscles and rapid breathing. Finally, he hid behind a rock large enough to shelter him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yi was breathing heavily, but his eyes were extremely determined. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and quickly took out the sniper rifle from his space.
He leaned against the rock, eyes closed, recalling the sound of the bullet and its trajectory. A clear picture appeared in his mind, calculating the possible position and angle of the sniper.
A moment later, Xiao Yi opened his eyes, his gaze filled with determination and calmness. He placed his sniper rifle on a rock, adjusting his posture to keep his body as stable as possible. Through the scope, he began to carefully search the target area, his finger lightly resting on the trigger, ready to deliver a fatal counterattack at any time.
The cold wind howled, but Xiao Yi's concentration was intense, shutting out all external distractions. At that moment, he had only one thought: find the enemy and protect himself and his companions. Through the scope of his sniper rifle, Xiao Yi's eyes were as sharp as an eagle, not missing a single clue. After an intense and focused search, he quickly pinpointed the enemy's location.
He saw the man who fired the gun beside a snowdrift in the distance. The man was dressed in white clothes, almost blending into the surrounding snowy scenery. If it weren't for Xiao Yi's keen observation, it would be extremely difficult to find his trace.
The white camouflage suit fit his figure perfectly, revealing only a pair of eyes hidden beneath the brim of his hat, flashing a cold and vigilant light. The snow on his clothes hadn't been shaken off deliberately, as if this person was a natural part of the snowy landscape.
Xiao Yi noticed that the enemy cleverly used the surrounding terrain, half-crouching behind a pile of snow, exposing only a small part of their body to minimize the area exposed to attack. The white cloak swayed slightly in the wind, interweaving with the falling snowflakes, further increasing its concealment effect.
Xiao Yi secretly marveled at the depth of the other party's concealment, but at the same time, he was even more determined to defeat him. He took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing and emotions, and put his finger firmly on the trigger, ready to find the best time to launch a counterattack.
Xiao Yi stared closely at the deeply hidden enemy. Although his heart was filled with the urge to counterattack immediately, his strong rationality prevented him from acting rashly.
He turned his gaze away from the enemy and began to carefully observe the surrounding environment. The snow was silent and seemed calm, but Xiao Yi knew that there must be more dangers hidden under this calm appearance.
His eyes were sharp and alert, not missing any corner that might be abnormal. Xiao Yi knew that there must be more than one person behind the scenes who could arrange such a carefully disguised sniper to ambush here. Perhaps behind the nearby snow piles, beside those seemingly ordinary trees, there were accomplices of the enemy hiding, waiting for him to reveal a flaw.
Xiao Yi's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. In this severe cold, the sweat instantly condensed into ice. His breathing became slow and even, trying not to make any noise to avoid attracting the attention of potential enemies.
His brain was working rapidly, thinking about various possible situations and response strategies. Xiao Yi knew that if he acted rashly and exposed his position, he might be surrounded by the enemy, with disastrous consequences.
He continued to remain calm and patient, gripping the sniper rifle tighter in his hand, his eyes never leaving the surrounding scene, waiting for the best opportunity, or finding more flaws in the enemy.
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He quickly took out the communication device from his arms, his fingers dancing quickly on the keys, and lowered his voice to send an urgent notice to his companions.
