Chapter 82: Red Hood
The sniper who was ambushed on the roof of the opposite building never showed up, and the atmosphere was as silent as death. 《
Several security guards rushed into the office and secured Alberta. In just a short moment, the opposing sniper quickly poked his head out and shot out. But before Yelena could take aim, he ducked back. However, the sniper gunner's bullet accurately hit the window glass, and the window glass, which had already been shot once, was shot through again, and finally all shattered.
The wind was strong on the tall building, and the curtains were quickly blown open a corner. In the short moment when the curtain was blown by the wind, another figure quickly flashed on the opposite floor. He wore an unusually striking red hood, and a sniper rifle in his hand fired instantly, and two shots in succession.
"Get down!" Lin Rui shouted angrily. But it was too late, and the two security guards who had just rushed in were immediately shot, and blood splattered the map of Africa on the wall.
Yelena's heart trembled, there were two snipers opposite! and both were skilled ranged sniper experts. Especially the latter man wearing a red hood, he can accurately complete two snipers at the moment when the curtain is blown, and such accurate and ruthless shooting skills are astonishing.
And the man was extremely cautious, crouching immediately after the shot. Before Yelena could finish sniping adjustments, he was already hiding.
Zhao Jianfei said in a deep voice, "It can't be like this. Alberta, order your men to outflank them quickly and block the nearby intersection from downstairs. Trap them on the opposite floor. ”
Jiang An shook his head and said, "No, this place is at least four or five hundred meters away from the building opposite, and by the time our people arrive there, they have already retreated." Moreover, there is a lot of traffic in the urban area here, and the surrounding roads extend in all directions. Once they came downstairs, we didn't know who they were at all. They could be every pedestrian on the street. And I guess they've already started to evacuate. We will not be able to catch up with them, or we may add casualties in vain. Because cold guns in the crowd are more difficult to guard against. ”
Zhao Jianfei nodded, "I know, but I still have to." This is a provocation against us, and we cannot fail to react. Alberta, get people moving. Yelena, you stay and continue to monitor the movement on the opposite floor, and if they dare to show up, you know what to do. Lin Rui Ivan, you come with me. ”
Lin Rui nodded, followed Zhao Jianfei to the downstairs with Ivan, and rushed to the roof of the opposite building as fast as possible. As Jiang An said, the opposite side was empty. The snipers had retreated cleanly, and there were two of them, and they fired four shots. But not even a trace was left, not even the bullet casings were picked up.
Zhao Jianfei took a deep breath and said, "We're late." Let's go, go back and see how Alberta is. Maybe he can give us some information. ”
After returning, Alberta had recovered from the shock and calmly gave instructions to increase the company's alert level. But the two guards who had been shot were completely dead, and the blood stains on the office walls were shocking.
Zhao Jianfei stood at the window, looked at the building opposite, and said in a low voice, "Who wants to kill you?"
"I don't know, but judging from the recent attacks on our two bases, it's probably the same people. Well-equipped, well-trained and tactically proficient. Alberta frowned, "It's likely not for me personally, but for Morningstar as a whole." ”
Shogishi nodded, "Yes, if even the company's armed base is attacked one after another, the senior executives of the military security company will be sniped in their own offices. So what kind of face does Morningstar, which can't even protect itself, claim to be an African military defense expert. ”
Zhao Jianfei walked to the bullet marks on the side of the wall and looked at them, his expression moved, staring at the bullet holes on the wall, and said in a deep voice, "5." 8 or 5. 56 mm ammunition, small-caliber sniper rifles. His words made everyone present frown. Lin Rui was also taken aback.
Because in the world, small-caliber sniper rifles are very unmainstream. The number is very small, and there are only two representative ones: one is SIG, and the other is China's Type 88 sniper rifle, which also has a foreign trade model Type 97 sniper rifle with a caliber of 5. 56mm。 It should be said that this is the first 5 in the world. 56mm sniper rifle.
Some countries, such as the United States, have also developed5. 56mm sniper rifles, but none of them were adopted by the military, but were only used in the civilian market and for competition. That is, the armies of other countries are not armed with small-caliber sniper rifles at all. This makes 5. The 56mm sniper rifle has become a rare outlier among military firearms.
Zhao Jianfei was silent for a moment, then turned to look out the window and said, "Yelena, if you are on the opposite floor and use a small-caliber sniper rifle, can you hit such a level?"
Yelena hesitated, shook her head, and said, "I'm not familiar with such small-caliber firearms. Moreover, the wind speed between the two buildings is very high, and it is difficult to achieve accurate sniping. The sniper who fired the first shot was a little hasty, he should have been a little flustered after being discovered by Lin Rui, so he didn't hit the first time, and the second shot broke the glass, which was obviously to cooperate with the second sniper. And the second sniper, the one with the red hood, is most likely the best gunner I've ever seen. ”
"Yes, you can snipe two targets in a row the moment the wind blows open the curtains. This precise technique and cool head are quite remarkable. Shogishi nodded.
"What do you say, that person is wearing a red hood?" Zhao Jianfei said with a strange expression.
Yelena also nodded strangely, "I'm also surprised, generally speaking, snipers will never use any clothing with bright colors for concealment purposes, but will only wear camouflage camouflage. Wearing such a bright red hood, it is almost as obvious as a live target. ”
"Either this person is an absolute layman, or he is extremely confident to the point of arrogance. Shogishi said lightly, "As far as his marksmanship is concerned, I think it should belong to the latter." ”
"You think he's deliberately provoking. Lin Rui said in a deep voice.
"Yes. "Alberta is right, it's an undisguised provocation for Morningstar's Africa division. ”
"Morningstar is currently one of the leading military and security companies in the entire African region, and has close ties with African countries and armed forces. Who would attack such a powerful organization?" Lin Rui frowned, "And in terms of the other party's military qualities, it is by no means an ordinary person, could it be a competitor, or another military contracting company?"
Alberta shook her head, "It can't be. Although we are in competition with other military contracting companies, there are industry guidelines for this industry. The competition between them is only business, and will never extend to the point of using force against each other. This is a red line that all major mercenary companies absolutely abide by and cannot cross. Otherwise, it's really messed up. ”
Shogan said calmly, "It's like two hawkers grabbing business, you can sneer at each other's goods how inferior and not fresh, and you can also say how good your own goods are." This is also in the realm of commercial competition. But if you go up and directly open the other party's stall, then it is not a competition but a preparation for a fight, and the end result is that no one can do business. ”
"Yes, so no one would be so stupid as to do such a thankless task. Alberta said with a wry smile.
Zhao Jianfei said slowly, "But don't forget, there are everyone in this world." Anything is possible. Some people are born to be unruly, or their style is to be unruly. ”
Alberta shook her head and said, "We don't have any further information yet, but my people will investigate." I'm sorry you suffered from this the first day you came. "Although this is Africa, it doesn't happen every day." Prepare yourself, I'll take you to the base. ”
The attack raised Morningstar's security alert to the highest level. Lin Rui and the others were closely escorted to a small base on the outskirts of Cape Town, which was more of a small manor than a base. It's just that the four high walls, the tight security measures, and the heavily armed security personnel make this place a little different. The manor is a European-style building, and the balconies are all mounted with machine guns. There were mercenaries gathered in twos and threes.
After getting out of the car and sending them to the manor, Alberta said to Zhao Jianfei and the others, "Before you come, I will prepare everything in advance." You live in the small building on the left, which is relatively **, and the environment is good. You can move freely here, and it's not very far from the city of Cape Town. Usually you have complete free time and can do whatever you want. But I want you to promise to be ready to obey the call and be on call at any time within twenty-four hours. Because our operations are around the clock, no one knows what will happen next. ”
"The curfew is so strict, can we come and go freely?" Qin Fen frowned.
"Of course. Recently, because of a series of attacks, we have become panicked, and we have no choice but to strengthen our vigilance. You can leave and go anywhere at any time, but when the time comes, I want you to be able to get here and be on standby. But I'd better not run around, especially now that we're facing a group of unknown assailants. It's going to be a little safer here. Alberta sighed. "Actually, the small town outside has everything, and there is no need to go too far. ”
"Thank you. We will. Zhao Jianfei nodded.
Alberta nodded, "I have other things to do, so feel free to do so." When I first arrived, I was attacked, and I thought you'd better take a break and recover. ”
