Chapter 845, The Real Hunters
“It looks like an encounter,” the adjutant analyzed as he viewed the seven barbarian corpses through the screen inside the command vehicle.
“It’s not an encounter,” P5092 shook his head and said, “Look at the terrain here, there’s only a mountain road in front and behind, the terrain is narrower, it’s a semi-confined space.”
“What does the officer mean?” The adjutant wasn’t stupid, he immediately reacted, “Of the multiple incident locations, this is the only place with the most barbarians, seven appeared at a time, it’s very likely that they were responsible for hunting down and solving the two snipers, but as a result, they were lured here by the snipers. The special thing about the terrain here was that the barbarians couldn’t even run away when they realized they couldn’t beat them. So those two snipers were confident enough to lure them here.”
“That’s right,” P5092 nodded, “If the seven people were scattered and escaped, it would take a lot of effort to catch them, but there’s only one road in front and back here, so even if the barbarians escaped, they could only run in one direction.”
“Then these two snipers are too ruthless,” the adjutant said doubtfully, “Anyone who can decimate seven barbarians head-on must be a Transcendent in any case.”
“More than that,”, P5092 shook his head again, “Those two were not injured, they were completely crushing strength against these seven barbarians, I believe that even if the number of barbarians increases by a few more, I’m afraid that the result will still be exactly the same. So they were able to kill seven barbarians because there were only seven that came, not because they could only beat seven.”
Therefore, it was difficult for them to speculate on the strength of the snipers from the number of barbarians, they could only know that the other party was very powerful, and even if T5 came, I’m afraid that would be it.
This kind of person, there weren’t many in this world.
The adjutant said doubtfully, “Do you think there is a possibility that it is the person you said before …… is the manipulator of that white mask?”
“There’s this possibility, if it’s him who’s here it’ll be able to be explained,” P5092 nodded and said, “Continue the carpet search, and mark every place where the brute’s body was found on the map, as well as the number of brute deaths.”
The combat staff on the side hurriedly busied themselves according to the chief’s instructions, as a result of this taking a red pen and marking it, everyone suddenly realized that the entire map was densely red.
P5092 lamented, “Their range of activities is also too big, right, just this half a day’s time has killed more than fifty barbarians? If they wait for two more days, won’t they kill all the barbarians in the entire Boulder Mountain?”
However, what P5092 didn’t understand the most was, how in the world did the people who hunted and killed the barbarians in this mountain find the barbarians accurately, was it because they knew the barbarians too well?
Just at this moment, gunshots rang out on the communication channel of the command vehicle, the adjutant picked up the communicator and calmly asked, “What’s going on?”
“Reporting sir, there was sniper fire just now about four hundred meters away from us, I think those two snipers are getting very close to us!”
As he spoke, another shot rang out, followed by a series of sniper shots, and it seemed that an extremely intense firefight had taken place over there.
P5092 made a snap decision and said, “Look for their firing targets to approach over, don’t try to get close to these two snipers.”
After saying that, ten combat squads from the frontline combatants in charge of the carpet search immediately moved.
It was just a four hundred meter straight line distance that seemed to be very close, but between going over the mountains, this four hundred meter straight line distance could take several tens of minutes to run.
By the time they arrived at the battlefield, the sniper fire had long since stopped, and the snipers didn’t know where they had gone.
Immediately after, the Spark Soldiers quickly began to look for the sniper’s shooting target, spreading outwards from the location of the sniper shots, searching all areas within a radius of 1.5 kilometers.
If it was an ordinary sniper, in fact, their search radius of 800 meters would be about right, most snipers were able to accurately hit the target within 800 meters even if they were very good, but these two snipers were too good, they were the best of the best in snipers.
Soon, they found the battlefield in a river, at this time the river fell more than twenty barbarians, the body stretched all the way from the river to the woods, the barbarians’ blood kept flowing out, the bank of the soil are crimson.
On the ground, there were also water bags made of animal skins scattered, the water bags had open plugs, but they were empty.
The Fire Seed Soldier slowly approached over, and a commanding voice came over the communication channel, “Check the footprints in the woods to confirm if anyone in their group escaped.”
Soon after, the Fire Seed soldier reported, “Confirmed, this group of barbarians was wiped out by the river, there are only footprints in the woods from when they came, there are none that left.”
Because of the moist soil along the riverbank, and the barbarians were tall and big, it was impossible to completely hide the footprints.
P5092 frowned tightly in the command vehicle, “So, these two snipers probably predicted in advance that these barbarians would come here to get water and then ambushed them in advance.”
He fetched the map, but couldn’t see anything special about the place where these barbarians were fetching water.
“Strange, why are they certain that the barbarians will come here to fetch water now, there are three rivers running through the entire mountain and more than a dozen creeks, how come it’s here?” The adjutant wondered.
“Maybe that’s their special skill,” P5092 sighed.
In the morning, these barbarians had counted on the fact that there would be soldiers going to the river to fetch water, so they conducted an ambush in the river and then encountered snipers. By noon, these barbarians were similarly ambushed by others because of a small matter of fetching water and encountered snipers again.
This feeling was like having someone who could predict the future in the middle of the battlefield, swaying the balance between life and death.
Originally, some Fire Seed soldiers always felt like they were being sized up like prey while searching for barbarians.
And now, the real hunters had come, and the barbarians had become the prey.
P5092 said to the frontline commander on the comm channel, “Leave your single rations where they are and retreat, don’t linger there.”
The adjutant asked, “Are you leaving your single rations with them?”
“They won’t necessarily pick them up, but I’m sure they can see my good intentions,” P5092 said.
As he spoke, P5092 kept staring at the map, then marked the location of the river on the map with a red pen, as well as the number of deaths.
Only at this time, he suddenly realized, “The range of this sniper’s kills is like a fan, why does it feel like they’re thinking of the same thing as us, both of them are driving the barbarians towards Longtan Canyon.”
In P5092’s battle plan, he was planning to force all the barbarians to the vicinity of Longtan Canyon and then wipe them out in one go, but it turned out that the other side was doing the same.
Did the other party do it unintentionally, or did the other party judge his intentions through the movements of the scouts ahead? And then came to cooperate with himself to complete the plan?
If it was the latter, then this sniper’s intuition was a bit too sharp.
