Chapter 58
A flower of blood bloomed on the temple of Battalion Commander Liu Feng.
The bullet pierced through his temple and exited from the other side, and Liu Feng's corpse fell straight to the ground.
【298/300】
In just a few breaths.
Shen Yan, the Mobile Corps Commander, and Liu Feng, the Battalion Commander, were killed one after another. Everyone was stunned, but Fang Hui, the commander of the First Company of the Special Operations Battalion, reacted. Based on the bullet that had pierced Liu Feng's head, he raised his gun and fired:
"Nine o'clock direction!"
"Fire suppression!!!"
Upon receiving the order, the others quickly picked up their guns and fired violently toward the nine o'clock direction.
Yet, there was not a single movement from the direction being suppressed by fire.
Fang Hui and several other company commanders led their men to drag the corpses of Mobile Corps Commander Shen Yan and Battalion Commander Liu Feng into a room in the camp.
Only then did the hearts of everyone, which had been pounding, calm down a little.
But looking at the bodies of Shen Yan and Liu Feng, everyone was still in a trance. Qin Xu, the Second Company Commander, asked:
"This... what do we do?"
The Mobile Corps Commander is dead? No, not dead, this is a game.
Right, this is a game!
Qin Xu felt a sense of relief in his heart, while Fang Hui said in a deep voice:
"Let's put the bodies of the Mobile Corps Commander and Battalion Commander here first. The opponent is a top-tier sniper."
"They must have noticed something from our previous movements, which is why they decisively opened fire."
"We are in the light, the enemy is in the dark."
"Let everyone return to their rooms first and organize their weapons and equipment."
The others nodded, then gave orders to the outside. The soldiers outside finally stopped firing and huddled together as they entered their respective barracks.
Soon.
The weapons and equipment in each barrack were tallied.
In addition to the rifles or submachine guns everyone carried, there were three mortars, forty mortar shells, three heavy machine guns, eleven light machine guns, and various hand grenades, smoke grenades, etc., totaling over two hundred items.
After tallying these weapons and equipment, Fang Hui and the others discussed, but before they could take any action.
Bang!
Another gunshot rang out.
"Ah—!"
Fang Hui's expression changed, and he shouted loudly toward the outside:
"Which room? What's going on?!"
A soldier shouted from the barrack diagonally opposite:
"Our squad leader wanted to open the window a bit to see the situation outside, and his hand was shot."
The squad leader's voice sounded:
"Company Commander, I'm fine."
Veins popped on Fang Hui's forehead:
"You're fine, my ass! Is your brain short-circuited?!"
"At a time like this, you're still so careless? Just you wait until this is over!"
"By the way, what direction did the shot come from?"
The squad leader hurriedly said:
"Three o'clock direction."
Fang Hui frowned deeply and exchanged glances with the other company commanders:
"They changed positions."
At the same time, he had an ominous feeling; it seemed they were being trapped in the barracks.
Thinking of this, their faces looked somewhat ugly.
"We have to find a way to get out..."
And at this moment.
Within the third-person perspective.
Shen Yan watched their discussion, his head buzzing with anger:
"Find a way, my ass?!"
"Take the mortars and bombard the three o'clock direction for me?!"
"Don't you take advantage of having so many people to provide fire suppression and search? Are you waiting to be slowly worn down by that guy?!"
"Scared like this because two people died? How were you trained normally?!"
Although the major federations did not have major friction, there was constant minor friction at the borders.
The Seventh Special Operations Brigade was stationed at a border point with the Slavic Energy Federation. Usually, when they ran into those guys on the other side, neither would submit to the other, and they would all be howling. But now, just because two people died, they were acting like this, which simply infuriated Shen Yan.
Liu Feng, beside him, was somewhat embarrassed and began to defend:
"Mobile Corps Commander, after all, the two of us were just shot dead."
"The men under us were frightened, maybe they haven't recovered yet..."
They had never had such a high-ranking officer die during normal training.
The Mobile Corps Commander getting killed right at the start... anyone would be stunned.
It was fortunate that this was a game, and the people below could still remain somewhat calm; otherwise, they would have panicked by now.
Hearing Liu Feng's words.
Shen Yan turned his head, glared, and kicked him.
"Do you think I wasn't talking about you too?!"
"Didn't I just get headshot? What are you shouting about?!"
"You exposed the target directly."
"Now there's no one in charge of the big picture!"
"Just watch."
"Being so timid, in the end, not a single one will escape!"
Liu Feng also felt a bit aggrieved.
Clearly you were the one who first commanded people to expose their identities...
It's just that saying anything now is useless.
Both of them are in the third perspective, only able to watch everything happening in the camp, but unable to command anyone.
The time in the game soon came to night.
There was not a trace of light in the entire camp.
Under the cover of night, the people in the barracks finally took action.
One after another, they bent down and walked out of the barracks to gather together, hiding behind the cover.
Then the barracks began to light up, and there were figures moving.
Fang Hui, Qin Xu, and others outside the barracks held their breath nervously, waiting for the opposite side to move.
However...
They almost choked, but they didn't hear a gunshot.
Left?
This thought flashed through their minds, making everyone suspicious.
But they weren't sure.
After all, the mission was written clearly.
【Please eliminate Finnish soldier Simo Häyhä, 0/1】
If this guy runs several kilometers or ten kilometers away to hide after shooting one shot, this mission can't be completed at all.
This NPC named Simo Häyhä shouldn't be able to leave; he must be hiding somewhere.
It's just... he won't come out.
Feeling the temperature of minus thirty degrees, Fang Hui suspected that the guy had already gone back, or wouldn't come out at night.
After all, at this temperature, staying outside all night would freeze people to death.
Seeing the temperature getting lower and lower, Fang Hui could only order a part of the people to go back first, and then take turns guarding outside. Once there was any abnormality, blow the warning whistle immediately.
A night of silence.
When it was the second morning in the game, the sky was just bright.
Bang!
Bang!
Two gunshots woke up the entire camp.
Two sentries hiding in the dark were shot dead with one shot.
【296/300】
The corpses were dragged back to the barracks, and everyone was silent, as if falling into a dead end. Going out alone was sniped, and huddling together was also sniped. Fang Hui frowned:
"Organize manpower to search by squad."
However...
They searched all five kilometers around, and there was no trace.
It was as if a ghost that didn't exist at all, that night.
【285/300】
The next day.
【276/300】
【172/300】
The time in the game passed quickly, and soon a week passed.
And in the room.
Shen Yan in the third perspective also watched for a full twenty hours, from the initial anger to the current silence.
The mentality of the special operations battalion soldiers in the game had collapsed, and even he, who was watching from the third perspective, was the same.
For a full week, the snow within a few kilometers was all stepped on firmly, and they didn't find where the enemy was, and the daily casualties were getting bigger and bigger.
It even reached the point where twenty or thirty people were killed or injured in a day.
It could be seen that the opposite side had already figured out their situation and was no longer cautious, treating them as weak prey waiting to be slaughtered.
But there was no way.
The hunting continued.
The camp seemed to have become a prison; as long as they left the camp, they would be taken away by the White Death hidden in the snow.
And not leaving the camp...
The barracks had become a morgue, half were people, half were corpses...
【151/300】
【82/300】
【11/300】
The days in the game passed, and by the end, the remaining 11 people had given up.
Fang Hui's eyes were full of determination, carrying a submachine gun full of ammunition, and took others out of the barracks.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and Fang Hui's head turned to one side.
He raised his submachine gun towards a certain direction, wanting to pull the trigger.
Slap!
Blood bloomed on his head; he didn't dodge it.
The remaining 10 people rushed towards that side regardless of everything, holding the submachine guns in their hands to suppress firepower, but they didn't know where the enemy was.
The opposite side fired methodically, one shot, two shots...
Until the last person rushed to the hillside, he didn't find any trace of the enemy.
After the hot blood went to his head, it was endless fear.
【1/300】
Looking at the prompt number, only one person was left alive, and extreme fear of the unknown filled his whole body.
The soldier picked up the submachine gun in his hand, wanting to aim at his own head.
On the ground next to him, the sound of a bolt being pulled suddenly came.
The soldier subconsciously turned his head to look.
He only saw a person covered in snow camouflage, wearing a white mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes, looking at himself with no emotional fluctuation, and the pitch-black muzzle aimed at his brow.
White Death?
So that's where the name came from, less than two meters away? Why didn't I find him?
This thought flashed through the soldier's mind.
Bang!
