Chapter 111

111 3.04.16 – The Sniper – Downfall of Humanity

Strolling around the city in a patrol car with a teammate, they heard gunshots in the distance. They didn’t see the scene, but when they arrived, there was a dead body tossed in the streets. Immediately, his teammate called the ambulance.

While waiting for help to come, Ren Han surveyed the surroundings. People continued with their lives. The scene was something that happened daily. The brutal violence became a part of life for the residents living in city C, which was ranked among the ones with the highest criminality rate.

The only thing which gave civilians the feeling of safety was the patrolling soldiers and the police. Knowing very well that as long as there was a demand for drugs, the War on drugs would never end. The military was here not to stop the war, but to prevent the heavily armed drug cartels from controlling the territory, which belonged to the government.

The situation became worse when the police were able to seize the public’s enemy number two, Ma Jie. The drug lord, who caused more deaths than any other disease in the past few years.

Being locked in the prison with the highest security, his cartel was split into various rivaling factions. After Ma Jie escaped the prison, he wanted to regain his power back, resulting in deadly gunfights in the middle of the town.

Ma Jie, before becoming second, held the first spot for an incredibly long time.

Now, the first spot was held by Bing Shi, who was viewed as someone from a developed future. People demanded she should share her knowledge, not only in technology but also in other fields. With her power, they wanted her to solve first world problems. There were even rumors that she had a cure for cancer!

It took ten months for Bing Shi to decide to move to this dangerous city. On her first day, she wanted to acclimate first before starting to stock up on resources, but someone had to destroy her schedule. Finishing her plan sooner, she was forced to move back to that hellish place.

‘I don’t want to go back! (-?-)’

.....

As a woman, living in that part of the city, she didn’t feel secure at all. She looked down at the black armor with a sight. Putting a black kevlar vest under her hoodie, she checked the pepper spray and a gun on her waist and finally speed, invisible, and strength pills in a secret pocket at the inner side of her hoodie. Placing her ballistic and a gas mask with two submachines guns inside her backpack, she was ready to depart.

‘Is it too much? Nah.’

Hiding her face with a mask, she walked out of the hotel towards her van. It took her two hours to arrive at city C. Finding a new apartment was out of the question. Relatively safe neighborhoods were rented out.

· · — · ???· — · ·

Bing Shi stood before a fancy hotel. Nobody knew that it’s owned by Ma Jie. A so-called safe zone for tourists. To gain a good reputation, drinks and food weren’t spiked with drugs.

‘My new home?’

‘No, sorry.’

‘My new place to sleep, is it?’

Inside the hotel room, she continued to gather information on people she was going to meet in the future. During a short break, she thought about the raid on Cheng Bai. Not able to withstand the curiosity, she was about to message her newly acquired grandson. Before she could send the message, she threw her phone on the bed and started to jump on the bed in frustration.

‘Stop being lonely!’

*jump*

‘So what if his sniping skills are the same as Xuan Mu’s!?’

*jump*

‘Stop being curious!’

*jump*

‘Don’t get attached to anybody!’

*jump*

‘Should I play some games?’

*jump*

‘I have no time for games!’

*jump*

‘One...’

*jump*

‘Two...’

*jump*

‘Three...’

*jump*

Bing Shi counted to two hundred before calming down. Lying on the messy bed like a starfish, out of breath, she looked up at the ceiling.

‘I’m such a monkey.’

The dark, luxurious street was lit by street lights set at a regulated distance. At wee hours of the morning, when everyone was deep asleep, three moving trucks barely launched to a halt, before men in black armors jumped out. One after another, they surrounded the stunning villa, which was hidden behind the thick concrete walls.

And while this soon, it was hard to see the details, each man wore a gas mask with a night vision function. One of the leading men yelled at the door, “Police, search warrant! Open the door!” While another was struggling to open the reinforced steel door with the door blaster.

As soon as the door was opened, a flashbang was thrown inside. A tremendous boom sound affected anyone who stood on the guard inside. Moving through the door, the SWAT team started roaring and pointing their rifles at the gunmen inside. “Get on the ground! Get on the ground! Get on the ground!” Before the gunman could point a gun at the SWAT member, he was shot dead.

Each member had his own assigned task. Ren Han continued to search for the man, due to whom the raid occurred. Kicking the master bedroom door down, he found out it was empty. Full of adrenaline, he moved towards the attached bathroom. Arriving at the bathroom, the sight amazed him, saying, “He escaped through the secret passage under the bathroom.” He strode down the tunnel. At the bottom, there was a rail for Ma Jian’s quick escape, while a generator pumped air through the ventilation system.

A week ago, there was a report by a local, who spotted a few careless gunmen around the villa. Responding to the reports, police put the house under surveillance. It turned out to be Ma Jian’s safe house. Not wanting to miss a chance, and knowing how dangerous Ma Jian was, the military was asked for assistance.

Police surrounded the city bourders, stopping any cars which wanted to pass. While inside of the city, soldiers hidden in military trucks, surrounded the vicinity of the villa. The dark city was lit up by lights, shunned down by helicopters.

The whole cartel, together with forty assassins, were summoned by Ma Jian to help him escape. Those most hated, highly effective killing machines, were hiding in the building rooftops and buildings. Shooting down a helicopter was like a child play for them. To destroy the morals of the enemy troops, they targeted military key men. One of which was Yi Zen.
