Chapter 1000: Determination

Chapter 999: Determination

The leader’s body hit the base of the Ferris wheel pretty hard. His back collided with the steel bracket. And it looked really painful. With raised eyebrows, What Zhang Heng saw surprised him. With the power of Barrett’s bullet, the target’s body should be torn into half after Zhang Heng landed his shot accurately on him. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t be sent flying as if hit by a locomotive. And Zhang Heng also noticed that the leader could still move after his body collided with the metal frame.

Enduring the pain, the leader got up from the ground and turned to the other side. Although his two companions had already determined the approximate location of the sniper through the shot, it was too far to attack Zhang Heng. So, he had to look for a cover to hide first.

Simultaneously, Maitreya’s voice could be heard coming from the radio, “He may be wearing the latest generation bulletproof vest. Not in mass-production yet, there have been reports in the news saying that the vest can disperse the energy of a bullet and distribute the force throughout the entire body. That is why you large-caliber ammunition can’t hurt him.”

“I noticed that too,” Zhang Heng said, “But if he gets shot for the second time, his ribs cant possibly withstand the force.”

When Zhang Heng was speaking, the man hiding in the control room had made his move. He opened his backpack and took out a black box filled with dozens of rifle parts. He then skillfully assembled all those parts together into a rifle. Only two-thirds the length and size of a normal rifle, it looked extremely lethal.

After that, he carefully took out a box of ammunition at the bottom of the box. There were only twelve rounds, but they were made of special material. He then put them into the magazine one by one. Once that was done, he got up quickly and took a deep breath.

As compared to an ordinary sniper, he hardly aimed, check out the wind speed, or paid attention to things like humidity and air pressure. All he did was hastily firing a shot at the pirate ship and quickly squat down.

The next moment, a violent explosion rocked the pirate ship. Soon, flames engulfed the entire cabin.

If one had not seen it with their eyes, no one would have thought that a bullet would actually cause such a terrifying explosion. It was comparable to the destructive force of an RPG. Maitreya was taken aback after he saw the explosion. Zhang Heng chose to snipe his target from two kilometers away because he wanted to ensure his safety as much as possible. At this distance, only top-tier snipers could land a successful hit. Even if there were a sniper on the enemy’s team, it would be difficult for them to land a hit on Zhang Heng.

However, no one thought that the three emergency response team members who came with so few items were carrying heavy weapons. Since they could not determine the exact location of Zhang Heng, they went ahead and blew up the entire pirate ship.

Looking at the pirate ship engulfed by flames, Maitreya could not help but worry about Zhang Heng. Although Zhang Heng’s location was not at the center of the fire, the wood and parts that were sent flying around when the pirate ship exploded were extremely deadly. Zhang Heng could die if the debris hit him.

Maitreya hesitated. He wanted to check out Zhang Heng’s situation, but he remembered Zhang Heng told him that he should stay at where he was and keep an eye on the three people under the Ferris wheel.

Upon hearing the explosion, the man in the control room poked out his head to take a look at the situation. Simultaneously, the female companion did the same thing too. After they confirmed that it was safe for them to come out from their cover, the leader cautiously emerged from hiding.

He then gestured to his two companions beside him, asking them to go to the pirate ship to confirm that the target was dead. The next moment, however, they heard the terrifying gunshot again. And the man in the control room saw his leader’s body flying again. This time, he was not as lucky as before, although the bulletproof vest saved his life once again. After he took the first shot, his ribs were on the verge of fracture. After Zhang Heng fired the second shot at him, his ribs no longer withstood the impact.

The leader’s body was slammed into the base of the Ferris wheel again. This time he had at least broken four or five ribs. Although he gritted his teeth and went back to his cover, he clearly seemed way more sluggish than before. He had lost half his strength, at least.

At the same time, the three tensed up again. The man in the control room fired another shot in the direction the bullet came from, blowing up a merry-go-round. The explosion should be powerful enough to kill whoever hid there.

Maitreya’s surprised voice came from Zhang Heng’s earphones.

“It’s great that you are alive! How did you escape the explosion?!”

“I was not on that ship.”

Knowing that his opponents had good marksmanship, Zhang Heng did not stay in the same spot after he fired his first shot. He immediately ran to a different spot. Of course, he did not expect the explosion. When the explosion happened, he was close to the merry-go-round.

Now, Zhang Heng was on the move to his next spot. The three enemies under the Ferris wheel suddenly felt the pressure.

Like a ghost, a sniper who constantly changed his spot after firing a shot pressure his enemies tremendously. No one knew where Zhang Heng was right now and when they heard the gunshot again, the three could do nothing but hide behind their cover.

They could not let it go on like this. Apart from the man in the control room, the other two enemies were not in a closed environment. Sooner or later, Zhang Heng would move to a spot where he could shoot at them easily. As of now, the leader was not looking good. If he were shot for the third time, it would not be possible for him to breathe again, even if he had the bulletproof vest on him.

Just as Zhang Heng was looking for the next shooting point, he suddenly heard Maitreya talked to him. This time he only said one word, “Sorry.”

After that, Zhang Heng heard an explosion coming from the southwest corner of the amusement park. That was where he parked the car earlier. However, his expressions remained unchanged. “What do you mean?” he asked calmly.

“About twenty minutes ago, the emergency response team killed the eighth courier. So now we are their only target. They sent three more people to the amusement park, as well as two police teams. But don’t worry, I will stay here to deal with them with you.” Maitreya said.

“It seems like you are ready to sacrifice yourself. Since you are going to stay here with me, who is going to deliver the goods back to the first floor?” Zhang Heng asked.

“That is not important anymore,” Maitreya said. “Sorry, I know you don’t believe in what we are doing, but I can assure you that everything is worth it.”
