Ace of the Dragon Division Chapter 587: Take by Surprise Part Two

“Is there any information on any of their members? I need to know where they come from and which nations these criminals belong to.”

HQ: “Nothing. I’ve been hearing from the locals that it’s been less than a month since they formed a mercenary group, and they’ve been quite mysterious.”

Casey: “Interesting, looks like District 7 isn’t the weakest area after all. I thought it wouldn’t be challenging but now there’s something to play with.”

Meanwhile, the drone spotted a man coming down the hill, moving in the exact direction of their soldiers. However, he was still 3 km away, so they weren’t worried even after they saw him carrying a sniper rifle.

“Keep an eye out, there is a soldier coming down the hill towards you guys and he is carrying a sniper rifle; he’s probably a sniper. His gun is of an older model with a short effective range, so he can’t threaten you guys at the moment. However, keep in mind that he’s currently 3 km away from you guys.”

Casey: “Roger. I hope he’s not here to talk about terms for surrender. I won’t accept it.”

It was Xu Cheng who was carrying the sniper rifle, and he had a head cover on as he ran towards the minefield.

He stopped when he was less than 1 km away from the M Nation special forces.

The commanders were watching him with a drone and several of them were quite curious.

“What’s he doing?”

“Probably trying to set up an ambush here to try and catch us by surprise.”

“Does he not know that there’s a drone in the sky watching him? He’s been exposed already.”

They could see that Xu Cheng laid down on his stomach as he sorted out the gun and loaded the bullets. He then placed the gun against his shoulder, getting in a position as if he was preparing an ambush.

The commanders laughed. “Looks like these mercenaries are quite amateurish. First of all, the effective range of his gun is only 1 km, and secondly, the air on Casey’s side is full of sand, which will make it difficult to see anyone at all. Can you really shoot someone at this distance? Besides, Casey and the others have helmets and bulletproof vests. The odds of him hitting the only unprotected region of the face is so small. I think with a comprehensive assessment, we can say that he’s preparing a sneak attack and waiting for Casey and the others to head over.”

“That’s probably it.”

The headquarters immediately returned their feedback to Casey. “1 km in your 45-degree direction, a sniper is lying down, presumably trying to sneak attack. Keep an eye out for him later when you attack; don’t get ambushed.”

“Okay, I got it. We won’t go over there yet, we’ll wait until sunset first and let them break mentally first.” Casey smiled.

“Do you guys think he saw our drone? Was he gesturing to us?”

“Is that possible? It’s almost evening, so it will be difficult to see a drone a hundred meters up in the sky.”

“Then who is he making that gesture to?”

After Xu Cheng finished gesturing, he focused his eyes into the scope, in which several of the special forces soldiers were exposed. The sand and dust in the air? They simply wouldn’t be a problem with his penetrating vision.

Boom!

A bullet passed silently through the dust and sand towards the face of an A-rank special forces soldier.

Poof!

The soldier was packing up his gear when his head suddenly slammed against the vehicle from inertia and fell down onto the ground, surprising all the others at the scene.

It happened in a split second, catching everyone off guard.

“Enemy attack!” a soldier shouted and ran over to the fallen soldier to find him breathless with his head shot through from his eye socket.

“Jack! Sh*t! He’s dead!”

Boom. Another soldier fell down onto the ground with a bullet shot through their face.

This accuracy shocked Casey as he shouted in a hurry, “Take cover behind the vehicle!”

The remaining twenty-six soldiers scrambled behind the armed vehicle to take cover.

The commanders also spotted two of their soldiers had been shot through the head on camera.

“Sir, it was that sniper that fired!”

“What!” The commanders were taken aback. How the hell is that possible?

“Casey, pay attention. That sniper isn’t trying to sneak up on you; he’s planning to kill you from there!”
