The gunshot came from an extremely distant and tricky angle.
The crisp "bang" echoed through the empty mountain forest. Lin Hao, who was chasing closely behind Sun Erniu, was so frightened by the gunshot that his soul almost flew out of his body!
He saw with his own eyes that Sun Erniu, who was carrying a large pile of flags and running desperately down the mountain, suddenly felt a jolt in her back and fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
There are other people here?!
This thought struck him like a bolt from the blue, chilling him to the bone.
Almost instinctively, without thinking, he lunged forward and scrambled to hide behind a rock about half a person's height.
My heart was pounding wildly in my chest, as if it were about to jump out of my throat.
He lay face down on the cold ground, barely daring to breathe, his ears perked up like a rabbit's, alertly listening to every sound around him.
Who is it?
Who fired the shot?
Which team are they? When did they sneak in here? Why didn't he notice anything?
A series of questions swirled wildly in his mind, making him feel extremely confused, and the sweat on his palms soaked the butt of the gun, making it wet and slippery.
Could it be that Qiao Lin or Du Jinshan's accomplices have come to seek revenge?
Impossible! Lin Hao immediately dismissed the idea; they had already been wiped out by Bai Wei and Zhao Yan.
Are those other teams that managed to reach the summit?
Whoever fired the shot was terrifying.
Lin Hao recalled the shot he had just fired, and cold sweat trickled down his temples. That shot had been fired from at least two hundred meters away, and in the mountainous forest where visibility was limited, it had accurately hit a target moving at high speed.
What kind of marksmanship is this?
That's a fucking sharpshooter!
His original plan was to follow behind Sun Erniu until she was exhausted and had no strength left, and then rush up to reap the benefits.
But now... just thinking about how he was right behind Sun Erniu, completely exposed to that sharpshooter's gun, Lin Hao felt a wave of fear, and his legs were still weak.
If the other party's gun had been slightly off-target, or if he had been a little slower to dodge, Lin Hao would be the one lying on the ground right now!
Such unpredictable marksmanship was unmatched in the entire training camp; aside from Su An, the freak who scored a perfect 100 rings with a broken gun during the recruit shooting assessment, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Could it be Su An?
The moment this thought crossed Lin Hao's mind, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Impossible... Absolutely impossible!
Didn't Zhao Yan confidently say that Su An's team only had two people, and that Chen Xiaocao, the weakest of them, was a burden? How could the two of them have reached the vicinity of the mountaintop so quickly? And set up an ambush without anyone noticing? This doesn't make sense!
Lin Hao shook his head frantically, trying to shake this terrifying guess out of his mind.
He preferred to believe that this was another strong team that had been hiding its true strength, like Jiang Yan's team.
Time passed second by second, each second feeling like an eternity.
He lay motionless behind the cold stone, like a stone, or like a terrified groundhog.
In the mountains and forests, apart from the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no other noise.
On the distant mountaintop, the sounds of Bai Wei and Zhao Yan, those two crazy women, fighting and cursing, drifted intermittently on the wind, but in this area, there was a deathly silence.
The expected second shot did not come.
The mysterious sniper seemed to vanish into thin air after eliminating Sun Erniu, and there was no trace of him ever again.
Lin Hao waited behind the rock for a full five minutes, until his muscles, stiff from tension, began to ache and his legs went numb, but there was still no movement around him.
As time passed, the fear in Lin Hao's heart slowly began to be replaced by another emotion.
They've left?
A bold guess popped into his mind.
Perhaps... the other party was just one person who happened to be passing by, saw Sun Erniu running away, and casually shot down a target.
After finishing the attack, were you afraid of revealing your location, so you immediately moved away?
