"Hopefully this car can get us to Arezzo; we're running low on fuel!" Li Jia said, speeding up the car. The last time they passed through Rome on the way to Arezzo, they were greeted by rocket launchers; she wondered what would be different this time.
After leaving Rome, the car drove on the highway to Arezzo. The sky was now dotted with stars, a far cry from the dark and gloomy feeling from before. The group's mood also became much more relaxed as the sky gradually cleared. After an hour and a half of seemingly safe driving, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Bang!" A muffled gunshot rang out, and the left tire of the jeep burst, causing the vehicle to sway uncontrollably from side to side.
"Bang!" A series of gunshots rang out, and the Jeep completely lost its ability to move. Three of its four tires were shot out. The car came to a stop on the side of the road after a screeching sound of brakes. Li Jia and the other two, armed with weapons, immediately rushed into the bushes by the roadside.
"Sniper! It's really chaotic abroad. Weapons with such powerful firepower can be seen everywhere. Based on the direction of the gunshots and the location of the bullets hitting the car, we can basically tell that the enemy is an expert, and if we're not sure, he might be a master among experts!" Xiao Long muttered to himself as he looked at Li Jia with his M4 in his hand.
"You two stay hidden! I'll take care of him!" Li Jia didn't say much, just gave a simple order and then raised her hand to signal Xiao Yue to blow up the car's gas tank!
After Xiaoyue nodded, she fired several bursts of fire at the car's fuel tank without hesitation. The fuel tank was punctured, and the high temperature of the bullets caused the car to explode violently!
Li Jia had already lowered his body and used the grass as cover to choose a good vantage point to carefully search for the sniper's location. The sound of the explosion did not immediately reveal the sniper's position, but the flash of the explosion exposed Xiao Yue and Xiao Long's rapidly moving figures within the sniper's crosshairs!
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and a clump of mud erupted from the bushes beside Xiaoyue. At the same time, Xiaoyue leaped forward, rolled several times, and disappeared into the bushes by the roadside.
This single shot became Li Jia's best clue to finding the sniper; the sniper rifle's trajectory was clearly "on the mountain!" in the darkness.
Knowing the sniper's approximate location, Li Jia quickly moved away from the vicinity of the car, trying to increase the distance between herself and the car so as not to be seen by the eye behind the sniper scope.
After running about 500 meters, Li Jia turned back and headed towards the distant ravine. For a sniper, once his position is exposed, he will lose his greatest asset. Close combat is never as satisfying as taking a shot from the shadows.
The nearby valleys are not high, less than 100 meters, but they appear quite large when they are connected. Together with the towering mountains in the distance, they form the world-famous Apennine Mountains.
Ten minutes later, Li Jia arrived at the foot of the ravine. The sniper hadn't fired a single shot during that time, which made Li Jia's search a little more difficult. However, having already determined the approximate location, Li Jia was confident that she could find him!
Li Jia silently made her way up the ravine and then crept towards the approximate location where the sniper had fired. After spending twenty minutes searching the expected sniper position, Li Jia found nothing suspicious, which puzzled her. "Could it be that they knew their position was exposed and moved? That's possible! But even if they moved, they should have left some clues behind!"
Thinking back to the direction of the bullet trajectory when the sniper rifle fired, Li Jia searched the area again, and this time he was not disappointed; he made a new discovery!
