Chapter 129: Carry and Run

In the evening, the sky gradually grew overcast.

In places with a tropical monsoon climate, it's like this—rain often falls from July to October each year.

And when it rains, it can last for several days.

It's raining!

This is a good thing for Lin Feng.

He had already approached to within about one kilometer of where the Bei Yiren were surrounded.

Without a telescope, he could see a hill ahead.

Through a telescope with night vision, he could see specks of firelight on the hill.

Near the base of the hill, there were also moving shadows.

Lin Feng gradually approached, then suddenly stopped.

There was a smell of landmines.

More precisely, it was the smell of explosives and other chemicals.

The weather was hot; after a burst of rain fell and soaked the ground, it turned into steam that rose up.

Mixed in were various kinds of smells.

Even though these smells were unpleasant, Lin Feng dared not dull his sense of smell.

Following the direction of the smell, he saw that the soil beneath a large tree a few meters ahead was visibly loose.

The presence of landmines indicated that he had entered someone's guarded area.

Just then.

"Shush~"

A snake head protruded from the tree and lunged to bite Lin Feng's neck.

Lin Feng raised his hand and grabbed the snake's neck.

He pressed it against the trunk and with one stroke cut off its head.

In tropical places, poisonous snakes are abundant; on his way here, Lin Feng had encountered no fewer than twenty.

Lin Feng certainly didn't want to walk through a minefield.

He slowly retreated.

After retreating about three hundred meters, he paused to observe and discovered that, besides the hill where the Bei Yiren were surrounded, there was another, slightly lower hill two kilometers to its side.

The Barrett's sniper range can reach 2000 meters, so two kilometers is just right.

Let's take a detour!

Lin Feng does things more carefully and cautiously than anyone.

It was raining heavily, making travel through the forest difficult.

Fortunately, his vision, hearing, and reflexes were far above those of ordinary people.

After three hours, he finally arrived at the base of the hill.

The time was 12:00 a. m.

There were also people on the hill, and they were snipers.

Anyone with a bit of military knowledge would not give up this position.

Lin Feng set up his sniper rifle.

"Bang~"

The gunshot rang out.

Even on a rainy night, the gunshot carried far.

Unfortunately, he missed.

In his sight, the bullet traveled about a kilometer, almost grazing the enemy sniper's head as it flew past.

After the gunshot, the enemy became alert.

He turned his muzzle and aimed at Lin Feng's position.

Soon, that sniper located Lin Feng.

His position had the advantage of being significantly higher than Lin Feng's.

However, before he could pull the trigger, his head exploded.

At the moment of death, he saw only the muzzle flash, not hearing the gunshot.

Lin Feng slightly shifted the muzzle and pulled the trigger again.

"Bang~"

The recoil shoved his shoulder back a bit.

A bullet sped across his view and immediately tore a man in camouflage into two pieces.

Having dealt with the two snipers, Lin Feng observed for two or three seconds, then grabbed his rifle and charged up the hill.

He quickly arrived at the spot where the two snipers had been lying in wait.

A pit had been dug, with a rain‑proof canopy erected above it.

Just then!

The sound of a shell in flight rang out.

Lin Feng immediately went prone.

"Boom~"

A mortar shell exploded a dozen meters or so from him.

"Courting death!"

Lin Feng immediately raised his gun, first took a glance with the rangefinder, then aimed the muzzle at a camp below.

He adjusted the reticle, calculating wind speed and trajectory.

The camp below was about 1,500 meters from where Lin Feng stood.

In the darkness, a guy holding a Telescope was also watching Lin Feng, observing while reciting data.

The mortar operator beside him was adjusting the mortar barrel.

Bang~

Lin Feng pulled the trigger again.

The bullet flew for a little over a second, then tore the mortar operator's body apart.

When the gunfire sounded, people on both sides snapped out of their daze.

"Miss, someone is coming to rescue us!"

Zheng Kai, seeing Bei Yiren step out of the shabby tent, said with a delighted expression.

Bei Yiren immediately lifted the Telescope and looked down the mountain.

Then she turned her gaze toward where Lin Feng was.

"Over a thousand meters away, and it's a rainy night—this person's Gun Technique is amazing!"

Bei Yiren exclaimed.

She also knows some military knowledge.

For long‑range sniping, accuracy is high within 500 meters, but beyond 1,000 meters it's uncertain.

When it rains, a bullet might strike a raindrop, altering its path and deviating by several meters.

At this point Zheng Kai suggested, "This heavy rain comes at the right time; once the camp below is in chaos, we'll cross the Valley below and meet the rescuers on the other side."

Bei Yiren nodded.

Long‑range shooting is the most satisfying.

Especially when you can hit others while they can't hit you.

After the camp below fell into chaos, Lin Feng's sniping became even more enjoyable.

He originally carried few bullets, only about 30 rounds.

Now there are two extra bodies beside him; those snipers also used the same model of 12.7‑mm rounds.

Altogether there are still over a hundred rounds.

If we keep sniping one by one, taking out sixteen, the enemy will collapse, right?

If we can avoid melee, Lin Feng is determined not to charge forward.

If the guards around Bei Yiren weren't fools, they'd know to grab the opportunity and run over!

As for stepping on a landmine and being blown up—

That's not something Lin Feng cares about.

With Bei Yiren's status, having a few people clear landmines for her is still doable.

Some people risk their lives not for themselves, but so their families can have a better life.

Bang~

Bang~

Lin Feng fired at a rate of one shot every few seconds.

At the same time he didn't forget to observe the surroundings.

If anyone tries to use a mortar or Rocket, he'll take it out immediately.

Half an hour later, indeed someone crept over, attempting to attack Lin Feng from behind.

Lin Feng turned his muzzle and eliminated them.

Bang~

"Twenty‑seven!"

Bang~

"Twenty‑eighth!"

The leader of these armed militants couldn't hold out and soon ordered an assault on the hill where Bei Yiren was.

The enemy had long‑range snipers; they could reach us, but who possesses such outrageous Gun Technique?

They could only act immediately to capture Bei Yiren.

Although it would cost many lives, at this point they couldn't afford to worry about that.

"You there, and you there! Stay with me to provide a blocking fire; after ten minutes we retreat, and you, the guards escorting the lady, will clear the path ahead…"

Zheng Kai quickly made the arrangements.

As the leader of these guards, Zheng Kai stayed behind, and his subordinates had nothing to object.

Four young men charged ahead, four female Biao Biao—one in front, one behind—supported Bei Yiren as they ran toward Lin Feng's position.

During the day they had already scouted the escape route.

Finally they knew how to run!

Lin Feng glanced through his scope, immediately turned the muzzle, providing fire support for Bei Yiren.

As for the people left on the mountain, he could no longer concern himself with them.

A few minutes later.

Boom~

A blast rang out.

One guard leading the charge stepped on a landmine, and his body was blown into the air.

One person behind was also hit by a steel ball and fell to the ground.

At such close range, in the firelight one saw a person's leg blown off, the body flung into the air, and Bei Yiren gritted her teeth in fright.

The two remaining guards had no time to grieve, still charging forward.

The gunfire behind grew increasingly dense.

Lin Feng immediately sped up his shooting.

Boom~

Another explosion sounded.

The guard at the very front was blown away.

This person's luck was bad, because they had already reached the outskirts of the Thunder Zone.

Zheng Kai and the others had already withdrawn from the hilltop, moving forward along the route Bei Yiren and they had traversed, fighting while retreating.

For a moment, gunfire rang out everywhere.

After scattering, they could no longer tell who was who.

Several minutes later.

Lin Feng threw away the sniper rifle that had run out of ammunition and charged down the hillside.

"Sister Yiren, it's me!"

Lin Feng shouted.

"It's you!"

Hearing Lin Feng's voice, Bei Yiren was surprised.

Although she couldn't make out Lin Feng's face in the darkness, she could recognize his voice.

"It's me!"

Lin Feng replied.

"Only you?"

Bei Yiren asked again.

Lin Feng glanced ahead; a large number of armed militants had already rushed over.

"No time, come with me!"

Lin Feng grabbed Bei Yiren's arm and dragged her along.

As a result, Bei Yiren fell straight to the ground, almost being dragged by Lin Feng.

It turned out that when she had just charged down the mountain, she had sprained her foot.

Lin Feng glanced at the panting young man and the four female Biao Biao.

Then he hoisted Bei Yiren onto his shoulder and turned to run.

He only looked after Bei Yiren; he couldn't care about anyone else.

Even while carrying a woman weighing about a hundred catties, Lin Feng ran very fast.

In just a few minutes, he shook off everyone behind him.

After running several kilometers in one go, with no gunfire audible, Lin Feng finally stopped.

Bei Yiren, laid on the ground, bent over and began to retch.

She felt as if her bones were about to be shaken apart by Lin Feng.
