The immense force of the impact instantly blew the snowdrift apart, sending countless snow fragments flying in all directions like shrapnel from an exploding artillery shell. One of the larger snow fragments struck him squarely in the face.
At that moment, Xiao Yi felt his vision suddenly go dark. The cold and hard snow colliding with his cheek caused a sharp pain. Then, the fine snowflakes quickly covered his eyes, mouth and nose, blurring his vision.
And at this critical moment of life and death, the cunning opponent seized this excellent opportunity.
The opponent hiding behind the cover had a glint of ruthlessness and determination in his eyes. He quickly adjusted the muzzle of his gun, aimed at the general direction of Xiao Yi, and prepared to shoot again, attempting to give Xiao Yi a fatal blow.
His fingers had begun to slowly increase their strength, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation, as if he had already seen victory in sight.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, enduring the piercing pain on his face and the discomfort in his eyes. The cold and stinging sensation brought by the snowflakes and snow blocks made his facial muscles twitch involuntarily, but he managed not to utter a single groan.
Relying on years of combat experience in the hail of bullets and his sharp intuition that seemed to be born with him, Xiao Yi took action without hesitation even in the difficult situation where his eyesight had not yet recovered.
His hand held the sniper rifle steadily, as if the gun had become a part of his body. Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yi relied on his memory and a rough judgment of the opponent's position, and decisively fired another shot at where he thought the opponent might be.
At the moment he pulled the trigger, he had only one belief in his heart: he could not sit and wait for death, he had to take the initiative.
This shot, with his determination and courage, roared towards the unknown target. Although the scene before his eyes was still blurry, Xiao Yi had a clear direction and firm determination in his heart. This shot was like a lightning that cut through the darkness, as if carrying all his determination and courage.
The moment Xiao Yi pulled the trigger, all the strength in his body gathered at his fingertips. That strength came not only from the contraction of his muscles, but also from his deep desire for survival and his persistence in victory.
The moment the bullet flew out of the chamber, it seemed to carry with it every struggle he had experienced in the past, every time he escaped death, and every time he held on the edge of despair.
This determination is the accumulation of countless days and nights of training, the belief of never giving up in the face of difficulties, and the perseverance to complete the task at all costs.
This courage is the fearlessness to face death, the determination to never retreat in the face of unknown danger, and the tenacity to never give up even if there is only a glimmer of hope.
The bullet hurtled through the air, carrying Xiao Yi's soul and spirit, as if to break through all obstacles and shatter all fear and hesitation.
This shot seemed to be the cry of his life, the strongest challenge he launched to fate, and the most brilliant light he shone in this life-and-death struggle in the snow and ice.
