Chapter 114 of "New Urban Farmers" (10067): The Sniper (11,000 words) - Updated (Completed)
"Young Master Hun, are you hungry? We've been here for over six hours. Tianma Ga!" Wei Yunwang's henchman swallowed hard and rubbed his stomach as he spoke. "They're not planning to detain us on the mountain all night, are they?"
"What are these people trying to do? They're completely lawless! How can they just detain us like that? After Young Master Wei goes down the mountain, we absolutely cannot let Jiang Lihan, Zhao Pu, and that soldier get away with it. We should tell Mayor Wei and make sure they regret it!"
"Shut up!" Wei Yuncai frowned. He was very annoyed.
The two immediately shut up, clearly annoyed. Wei Yunwang was naturally furious, but as the saying goes, "The mountains and rivers will always flow," and he would settle accounts with them after he left the mountains.
The most important thing right now is to obtain the Hundred Herbs Cauldron; there's no need to get angry about anything else.
Don't be angry!
The guards took out compressed food and started eating. Wei Yunwang immediately said to them, "Are you planning to starve us to death? There are several big investors here. Hmph, if you don't want trouble, you'd better prepare some food. We'll go down the mountain after we finish eating!"
Wei Yunwang wasn't stupid; he revealed his identity as an investor.
Pig Ear immediately puffed out his neck and said, "That's right. I'm very dissatisfied with the investment environment here. I'm going to complain to your district leaders about the violent enforcement of the law!"
"Why are you detaining us? Does coming down from the mountain constitute a crime? This is blatant law enforcement!" another boss said angrily.
"No noise!" a soldier shouted.
In the face of absolute violence, any threat appears weak.
But the officers at the branch office seemed hesitant. They had heard of Young Master Wei and couldn't afford to offend him. One of them, Old Hong, sighed and said, "Little Liu, get them some food!"
"How could this be?" Xiao Liu was surprised. The orders from above forbade anyone to approach, including them.
Old Hong frowned and said, "You really let them starve? There are some people here we can't afford to offend. We'll be seeing them all the time at the branch office. Getting them some food isn't a big deal, is it?"
Seeing the other team members hesitate, Xiao Liu said, "Okay, but what about them?"
They're referring to soldiers! These men are very difficult to reason with. They're much tougher than anyone else!
"Let me explain!" Old Hong said, rubbing his head.
Old Hong agreed to provide them with water and food. Overjoyed, Pig Ear fawned, "Young Master Wei really has a way! Should we continue up the mountain or come down?"
This topic drew everyone's attention.
Go up the mountain? There are plenty of thugs up there. I wanted to stand with the leaders of this large-scale arrest operation to give that team some information, but the current situation is that Jiang Lihan won't see them at all. Any messages sent over haven't been relayed back!
Wei Yunwang looked uncomfortable for a moment and said, "It seems the bureau chief here doesn't give me any face. It's just asking for trouble if I go up there. Let's go down. I'm sure someone will give us an explanation!"
Who will give them an explanation? Only the crowd knows, and they exchange knowing smiles.
This disruption of the large-scale arrest operation did have some effect, but it doesn't seem to be very significant so far. More chaos is needed! It's just that all their communication devices have been confiscated!
Xiao Liu brought some compressed food and water, but it was only enough for one meal to be half full.
"Let's share this little bit! Xiao Liu put it out for everyone. We're all hungry right now, so let's try something new."
"Pah! How can anyone eat this like dog food?" They tore open the bag, took a bite, but before they could even chew a few times, they spat it all out and growled in dissatisfaction.
Dog food?
Old Hong and the others' expressions changed. They became very embarrassed and awkward.
They can only eat this on the mountain, and it's called dog food! Especially Old Hong. He went to great lengths to get the soldiers' permission to obtain a small amount of compressed food, and now his good intentions have been wasted!
"Young Master Wei, this is clearly their leftovers! We're giving you such disgusting food, we want to go down the mountain!" Pig Ears, being clever, shouted.
Wei Yuncai was also tempted by the commotion.
It's better to go down the mountain as soon as possible to avoid causing Jiang Lihan any trouble, as it will create more obstacles for their operations.
"Let's go down the mountain and see who dares to fire!" Wei Yunwang immediately stood up and said. Then he took the lead and walked to the side to pick up his phone. Seeing that someone was taking the lead, the others immediately followed defiantly and started to go down the mountain.
"Halt!" The soldier was furious at the sight of these arrogant people. He raised his gun, ready to fire a few bullets as a warning. These spoiled brats and opportunistic businessmen wouldn't learn their lesson until they faced dire consequences.
But Lao Hong and the others dared not stop him and hurriedly said, "Do you know who they are? Among them is the son of Wei Wang, the Standing Committee member and deputy mayor. If you dare to fire, you will be in big trouble. Moreover, no one in the mountains has fired a shot yet. Your action will cause great trouble for the investigation!"
"I also think it's good to let them leave so they won't cause us any trouble. However, we'll report to the captain immediately!" Xiao Liu added.
He was extremely unwilling to serve these masters. It would be an offense! Besides, how could you possibly fight against unarmed people?
"Damn it!" The soldier, who understood these principles, felt helpless and immediately reported to his superior.
And so, they reported the situation while watching Wei Yunwang and the others leave.
When Jiang Lihan and the others received the news that Young Master Wei was forcibly leaving, they smiled wryly, but then said, "Let him leave. It's better that he leaves so they won't cause trouble. So that's what he was thinking too."
Although it's suspected these individuals might be selling national treasures, they cannot be detained at present. Suppressing their arrogance would make further detention impossible.
Otherwise, what if the police station's leaders, big and small, come to report a missing person? They'll be the ones in trouble!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out from the mountains. Then, gunfire erupted in succession! Encountering the enemy...
Alright!
Jiang Lihan and the others hurriedly looked towards the mountains, but unfortunately, they couldn't see Xin Chi and the others at all. The gunshots were very clear! "Quickly connect with Lin Yue and the others. The gunshots must be coming from them!" Jiang Lihan immediately judged that the gunshots must have come from the vanguard.
"Is Lin Baolong here?" Jiang Lihan asked hurriedly as soon as the call connected.
Gunshots rang out intermittently in my headphones, coming from very close range!
"Chief, we've found a third party! There are quite a few of them. They're all armed! We've heard gunfire ahead!" Lin Yue quickly reported.
"Have they spotted Lin Baolong?" Jiang Lihan asked hurriedly.
This is the most crucial information!
"It should be that this group of people is fighting between the two sides that are chasing Lin Baolong!" Lin Yue said.
"Okay, hang in there, backup will be here soon! Oh, and be careful, there's a fourth party involved. Two of our officers have been robbed of their camouflage uniforms and two hundred pistols. Someone has infiltrated our ranks!" Jiang Lihan said excitedly.
"What? Someone has infiltrated our team?" Lin Yue exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, but they didn't kill any of our team members, they just stole our equipment. Be careful, they're probably heading straight for you!"
Jiang Lihan immediately sent an order to other Lu Yuanbu public channels to shut down communication with Lin Yue.
Lin Baolong is here!
Everyone was very excited!
It was past 5 PM, and everyone hadn't slept for over 20 hours. If they couldn't catch the suspect soon, they'd have to keep fighting. Fighting while exhausted significantly increases the risk.
The emergence of a fourth party didn't even make them feel that complicated. Aren't things complicated enough already?
Lin Yue's team included a sniper. As soon as the squad approached within 300 meters of the combat zone, he immediately climbed uphill, skillfully using most of the cover along the way.
"Get closer!" Lin Yue waved her hand, and the eight of them immediately moved closer using the cover.
The second group of men were frantic, with gunfire erupting continuously, but Lin Baolong seemed even more formidable. Over twenty shots had been fired, yet the barrage continued. The woods provided excellent cover, and Lin Baolong, like a leopard, dodged and weaved while frowning.
He didn't recognize these people!
The two people they killed weren't police officers, but someone else entirely. Who sent them to steal the Hundred Herbs Cauldron? This is getting more and more interesting!
He then darted back in the opposite direction!
Does he want to provoke the police and these people into opening fire on his safety? He's confident and crazy!
*Thud!* A bullet grazed past my ear and snapped a small tree in two!
Cold sweat!
Damn, these guys are pretty good shooters!
Lin Baolong smiled sinisterly and continued running forward erratically.
"Captain, someone's running over! Hey. It's Lin Baolong!" A team member immediately spotted Lin Baolong's footprints.
Bang! Bang!
Bullets are flying this way!
"Captain, should we open fire? These people are up to no good!"
"Everyone be careful. The director just mentioned that someone has infiltrated our team. We must be vigilant at all times. Also, snipers, keep an eye on Lin Baolong and wait for an opportunity to fire. Be careful of the jade and other items on his body. The rest of you, follow me and intercept these people! Move out!" Lin Yue and the others scattered and immediately returned fire.
Shooting in the mountains isn't very accurate. Many trees and rocks provide excellent cover. Unless your marksmanship is so precise that you have an exceptional feel for the gun and can get headshots with a single shot, you'll be less likely to succeed.
A hundred meters to the flank, Zhang Guodong lay prone behind a rock, his body covered in weeds on both sides. He had followed Lin Yue here and was somewhat impressed by her abilities; her special operations skills were so strong that they rivaled even male special forces personnel.
But here Zhang Guodong discovered the traces of a third party and even the whereabouts of Lin Baolong.
However, he didn't rush to make a move. He was waiting for nightfall, waiting for an opportunity. Compared to his superior skills, Zhang Guodong was more worried about being hit by stray bullets, which would be an unjust death.
When the hawk and the clam fight, the fisherman profits!
Zhang Guodong remained surprisingly calm as he listened to the two sides engage in combat.
Zhang Guodong saw a strange man sprinting nimbly across the middle of the area. He thought to himself, "This guy is definitely crazy!"
madman?
Lin Baolong?!
Zhang Guodong immediately realized that this person was Lin Baolong! His target! He saw that the man had a dark face, but a cold smile played on his lips, and he was holding a gun. Without stopping, he ran back, using cover as cover.
This person possesses immense explosive power! Their stamina is even more impressive!
Watching the bullets whiz by behind Lin Baolong, Zhang Guodong's scalp tingled. How could he miss so many shots? This guy is absolutely insane! Even if you have a national treasure-level jade artifact that makes the enemy wary, stray bullets don't discriminate!
I ask you, Zhang Guodong couldn't possibly be that crazy!
Suddenly, Zhang Guodong felt a sense of unease!
Without hesitation, he leaped up and darted into the woods. With a soft thud, a bullet struck the spot where he had just been crouching! A large amount of earth and rocks flew up.
"Damn, this is definitely not an ordinary sniper?!" Zhang Guodong broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly retreated through the woods towards Lin Baolong's direction!
Zhang Guodong's whereabouts were immediately discovered as soon as they were exposed.
"Captain, only one person is remaining on the fourth target; the target escaped without being hit!" the sniper reported to Lin Yue from the high ground, frustrated.
He's probably the first person to escape from a sniper rifle!
