In the dark night sky, the moonlight is like icy silver frost, sprinkling on the earth like a veil.
The wind is biting.
Xia Chujian knelt on one leg on the rooftop of a 12-story building. With a click, he opened the gun magazine and with his hands as fast as lightning, he instantly set up the 12mm caliber Judge No. 7 sniper rifle.
Looking out from the objective lens of the sniper rifle, Mulan City in the dark night looked like an undulating dark gray steel forest.
There are skyscrapers that soar into the sky, as well as dark and narrow winding alleys with no end in sight.
Colorful neon lights shone on the edges of high-rise buildings, and floating airships hovered in the night sky, dragging long self-luminous billboards, embellishing the colorful night scene, making the bright places even brighter and the dark places even darker, just like two distinct worlds of black and white.
She looked at the time and it was already one in the morning.
There were few pedestrians on the streets and the inner city's suspended train had long been out of service.
Occasionally, a few small private aircraft would fly past her sight, leaving behind trails of white smoke that would dissipate in an instant.
The deep voice of Captain Ye Shijie came from the team channel in the headset: "Night Hunter Association Guiyuan Branch, Area 3, Group 9, Team 321, report in."
"Number 2, Li Fu, left, in position."
"Number 3 Song Mingqian, right, in position."
"Number 4 Ping Qiong, left support, in position."
Xia Chujian is number 5.
She spoke calmly, "Xia Chujian on the 5th, 1,200 meters as the crow flies, 12th-floor rooftop, in place."
Ye Shijie is the captain, number 1.
He nodded and continued, "Number 1 Ye Shijie, team leader and operations commander, right auxiliary, in place."
"Let me repeat: Today's mission is to destroy a human trafficking operation in the western district of Mulan City. According to intelligence, a group of abducted boys and girls are being hidden in Room 004, 1st Floor, Building 334, West 089 District. They will be transported out of Mulan City tomorrow."
"There are five human traffickers, all genetically evolved. Two have D-level psychic powers, and three have E-level psychic powers. They are extremely brutal and have committed countless murders."
"Our mission is to kill these five human traffickers and rescue the victims."
The team members responded in unison: "Got it."
Xia Chujian lowered his head and patiently loaded each bullet weighing eighty grams into the sniper rifle. Then he lay on the rooftop with the muzzle sight aimed at their ambush target today.
It was a low six-story building, sandwiched between several skyscrapers hundreds of stories high, almost buried in the darkness.
The building is very dilapidated and is not built with new building materials, but old reinforced concrete.
The cement on the wall has fallen off severely, and the black steel bars are exposed, looking like the skeleton of a ferocious beast in the night.
The group of brutal human traffickers and the abducted boys and girls were in the fourth room on the first floor of the six-story building.
From where she was standing, the straight-line distance was exactly 1,200 meters.
The other four teammates were already lying in ambush at the left and right entrances of the room.
She was the remote support for her teammates, responsible for dealing with the human traffickers who rushed out of the room and tried to escape.
The location she chose could be covered indiscriminately from top to bottom with heavy firepower.
Even if the other party suddenly dispatched an armed helicopter, she could guarantee that every shot would hit the target.
Xia Chujian looked intently at his scope.
The windows of the target room were closed and the curtains were drawn tightly.
Most people can’t see inside.
However, her sniper rifle scope has a high-precision thermal imaging perspective system. The walls of the other room are just old reinforced concrete and do not have the function of shielding the thermal imaging perspective system. Therefore, she can clearly see the situation inside through the wall.
At this time, people were lying all over the floor in the room of about 20 square meters.
They all looked like very young men and women, probably the abducted boys and girls that Captain Ye Shijie mentioned.
She said in the squad chat: "Report: Twelve girls and twelve boys in the house, probably victims, all in a coma. There are also five adult men, probably human traffickers, who are drinking. Requesting action. Report completed."
The helmet eyepieces of other team members are also equipped with the same high-precision thermal imaging perspective system, which has the same function as Xia Chujian's sniper rifle scope and can clearly see the situation inside the wall.
Captain Ye Shijie took a look, shook his head and refused, saying, "Those two D-level genetic evolvers have very sharp intuition. Don't aim your sniper rifle for now. They are always looking in the direction of the window."
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and moved the muzzle of the gun slightly away by a millimeter.
Waited a few more minutes.
The five human traffickers stood up from the ground, burping and drunkenly.
They walked over to the motionless boys and girls lying on the ground, bent down, and fiddled with these unconscious victims one by one as if they were selecting goods.
When Xia Chu met Chen Rushui, he moved the muzzle of the sniper rifle over again.
One of the strongest traffickers unbuckled his belt with a grin and whipped a young girl lying on the ground.
Bang!
The girl's clothes on her right shoulder were pulled open, revealing her snow-white skin. At the same time, a hideous red mark appeared on her skin, which was as white as fresh snow. It was the mark left by being whipped by a belt.
Xia Chujian's finger on the trigger tightened slightly, and he said again in the team channel: "Report to the captain, one of the traffickers is beating the victim, please take action."
Ye Shijie also saw it through the camera on his helmet.
His voice was calm and without a trace of fluctuation. "This is a peak D-level genetic evolver. Song Mingqian and I are the only D-level evolvers on our team. I'm an intermediate-level evolver, while Song Mingqian is only a beginner. Li Fu and Ping Qiong are both E-level, and you're an ordinary person whose genes can't evolve. Do you think we have a chance of winning if we attack now?"
