“ah… … !”
Jurgen’s mouth fell open, but no words came out.
only sounds come out
It was clear that I had been shot as much as I had heard the gunshots, but I couldn’t accept that easily.
Standing at the window was only about 1 second at most, and in order to hit it during that time, you have to shoot from within 1 to 2 km, but there was no point to shoot within 3 km.
On the contrary, it took more than 3 to 4 seconds to hit yourself at a point 4 km outside where this place could be seen.
However, I was standing for only about a second.
It was said that even the gait had to be calculated before firing, but this was impossible.
Moreover, this place was a safe zone protected by the Russian army.
I wasn’t here for nothing.
Even if it was exposed, it was safe, so it was there.
But now it’s a bad situation as if flying.
Before long, Jurgen, who tightened his neck, lowered his gaze from the ceiling and looked at the body.
At the same time, the pupils shook greatly.
“… … !”
I couldn’t take my eyes off her even though her neck was shaking.
It was because I could see what I was supposed to do.
Damaged body armor and bleeding.
‘I really did… … .’
The front part of the plate carrier, which was worn all the time, burst, and the floor was soaked with blood.
The hit was obvious.
It was also hit right in the middle of the body, and it was even penetrated.
Otherwise, the blood couldn’t flow to the floor.
If the bullet was inside the body and the wound was looking at the sky, the amount of blood loss should also be small.
However, the amount of blood that flowed out was quite large.
about to lie on the floor.
I still couldn’t believe it, but I had no choice but to clearly accept the fact that I had been shot.
Fortunately, there was no pain.
If I had felt the pain, I might have rolled my eyes and fainted.
Jurgen pressed the button on his walkie-talkie before he knew it.
“Attack… got hit… therapy… wind.”
He managed to call for help, and the strength was removed from his neck.
It was because I couldn’t stand it any longer.
thud.
The moment his head hit the wooden floor and made a noise.
He recalled what he had seen and overlooked.
twinkling lights.
“… … !”
Jurgen’s eyes tightened as he recalled a small light that was smaller than the tip of a needle.
It could have been the flames of a silenced sniper rifle.
At the same time, the nearby terrain surfaced.
direction, location and distance.
It was only a brief glimpse, but it was the last thing he saw right before he collapsed, and it was impossible not to know thanks to memorizing the surroundings.
And soon the results came out.
‘… 1.4 km to the south, forest area.’
His pale lips trembled before he knew it.
It was a coniferous forest there.
Even that was sloppily managed and more than half withered away.
At first glance, the thought that I had seen it was wrong, but it was not so easy to conclude.
Intuition was like that.
The tiny sparks, like specks of dust, must have been flames coming out of the muzzle silencer.
However, there was nothing to shoot.
I had to pose at least three stories high, because there were only trees.
Of course, he could assemble a building or a steel plate and lie down, but if he did, Russian military satellites would have noticed and found out before he did.
Then they said I had to climb a tree and shoot, but that also made no sense.
Even if I forced myself to go up, the posture wouldn’t come out.
It was possible only in movies or cartoons, but it could not be done in reality.
So I didn’t even think about the danger of sniping.
Of course, if you are shooting a target at a distance of 100 to 200 meters, there is no chance of success, but here it was a whopping 1.4 km away.
A distance that takes more than 5 minutes even if you run as hard as you can.
It was obviously absurd, but Jurgen’s body was trembling slightly as he remembered this.
“… sh*t.”
Profanity flowed out.
It wasn’t like gunshot wounds or shock from blood loss.
Maybe it was because he felt like Kang-tae could do the impossible.
‘Should I have considered even the rotten tree… … .’
I had no idea how he climbed up and how he aimed and shot, but Kang-tae seemed to be able to do it.
In response, Jurgen moved his arm to grab the radio again.
To specify Kangtae’s location.
However, I couldn’t even hold the radio, let alone talk.
I didn’t have the strength to move at all.
In addition, it was impossible to raise one’s head or speak.
His entire body was lethargic as if he had collapsed from exhaustion, and the cold began to set in.
it was dying
Jurgen’s eyes, which had been staring at the ceiling, slowly closed.
‘This is the end… … .’
Suddenly, I felt the sound of footsteps running up the building and a commotion, but I couldn’t confirm what was happening behind it.
I couldn’t even know
It was because the senses of the body, including hearing, had become dull.
All I had to do was breathe and drink.
There was a feeling that even breathing was slowing down, but there was really nothing Jurgen could do now.
I never thought of surviving and getting revenge.
It was because it was self-evident that he would die without a chance to receive treatment, and he was still dying.
I knew this without intuition.
I could feel my breathing slowing down and my pulse slowing down.
At the end, Jurgen remembered a person.
Pical.
I wanted to say it out loud, but I couldn’t open my mouth, I couldn’t make a sound, I couldn’t even think about it anymore.
It was because death overtook him.
Jurgen’s heart stopped.
* * *
The enemy who had been approaching stopped, and began to form formations.
There were quite a few of them, but the location was tricky.
Close to sniping points and exit roads.
Of course, it wasn’t close enough to step out right away, but it wasn’t far enough to be sure of safety.
Of course, there was a possibility that my team and I could be entangled in danger if we made a mistake.
Before that, Jurgen, the target, had to be defeated.
But you can’t slow down time or make Jurgen stand still.
In the end, I could only choose one.
Fixed sniping location.
There was no other way but to get closer, close the distance, and hit the trigger at the same time.
It was just a fluke that he wanted Jurgen to stay still, and even if he wanted to, he couldn’t do the long wait he had originally planned to do.
So it was wireless.
I’m going to climb a tree and snipe.
Fortunately, instead of unnecessary conversation, Jake only asked the necessary questions.
‘I want you to answer me about the proper location.’
Instead of asking if it was possible or denying that it was not possible, he only said what was necessary.
I also gave an answer to his question.
A forest area 1.4 km away from the target.
If you climb the tree there, it seems that you will have a good view.
You’ll have to go and pick out the tree yourself to find out, but it was quite possible.
Of course, I needed a stable posture if the distance was further, but 1.4km was not a big deal.
For me, it was no different from 140M.
Above all, it was the only structure that could be climbed, and if you could aim, it was possible to hit.
Of course, I had never climbed a tree and shot it, but I had experience climbing it.
When I was active as a special forces soldier, I would pick some kind of fruit, I would get a ball that got caught while playing foot volleyball, and I would tie something up during training.
There was also know-how.
From tips on using strength to wrapping socks for friction on the soles of walkers.
It’s a pretty old memory, but there was no way I couldn’t say it now.
I was confident.
Because I was in better shape than before.
While I was thinking about that, an answer came from Jake.
Authorize movement, and carry out sniping.
So I immediately grabbed my gun and moved out of the bush.
They evaded the satellites, covered themselves with heat-repellent cloth, crossed trees and bushes, and circumnavigated many kilometers with the help of US military satellites.
And after repeated climbing and sliding, I was able to pull the trigger.
TOOOOOOOOOO!
His posture was shaking, but he didn’t care.
It was because Jurgen was shot in the moving scope and fell backwards.
It was the side I was aiming for.
Possibly drilling or scraping the bottom of the plate carrier.
would die anyway.
In my mind, I wanted to shoot right in the head, which would have killed me instantly, but I couldn’t.
Because it took 1 second to fly.
had to consider that.
probability of miss.
There was a possibility that the head, which was a relatively small target, would not be hit at all.
I could have ripped the skin off or just blown off some face flesh.
That way you will survive.
The target was relatively large, and even if it was slightly misplaced, all the organs were damaged and the body had to be aimed at.
Fortunately, the concerns were not realized.
Jurgen didn’t turn around and was hit by my bullet and flew away.
It was clear that he would die.
Even if you were breathing, it was only a few seconds or minutes.
If he was hit like that, he couldn’t be saved even if he went to the emergency room at Seoul National University Hospital or Yonsei University Severance.
Because the whole body would have been pierced and smashed.
Nevertheless, reflexively, he grabbed the gun again, checked through the scope, and radioed.
“Tango down.”
Then he collected the gun, hung it behind his back, and moved slowly.
It was coming down while giving strength to the arms and legs.
while stepping on branches or hanging from tree trunks.
It was when I came down a tall Russian tree over 10 meters in a matter of minutes.
My whole body trembled, but the sensation soon disappeared.
No, there was no time to think about it.
It was because of the satellite operator’s radio.
It’s also very bad.
– Check enemy moves! Modifications and immediate withdrawal are requested!
In addition, the voices of Jake and Harry came one after another.
– Alpha, immediately move to the 02 assembly point.
– Seniors?!
He replied briefly to that.
“On the move.”
The planned eviction scenario had begun.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem possible to join and move as planned.
That was the case with the additional radio transmissions.
– Alpha! Please check the travel time!
– Enemy approaching to exit 02 Sierra!
– Enemy helicopter moving. Expected to arrive in 10 minutes!
Urgent radio calls poured in without pause.
The teeth were clenched.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed difficult to leave together.
I was 1.4km away from the target by myself.
A situation where you are too far away from the allies you need to assemble and get out of together.
Soon a sentence passed through my mind.
‘Maybe we should move separately… … .’
That’s how things went back.
Far from allies, close to enemies.
If you make a mistake, you could be surrounded.
It was better to move alone in order to save not only me, but all of my allies.
Above all, I was confident to live.
Unlike the five members of my team, it’s safe to say that my stamina was superhuman.
It was enough to run all the way to the assembly point separately.
But my colleagues were different.
Although he was a special forces member, he was a human after all.
“Wish to leave first. I will withdraw myself.”
While running, the radio went off, and Harry’s voice came almost at the same time.
– Seniors?! What kind of small is that!
As if surprised, he responded briefly to the words that burst out.
“If there is an alternative, please answer.”
