Chapter 767: Chapter 343: Block War in the Streets

Gu Ji shouted loudly.

Everyone immediately scattered, each finding nearby cover to crouch down.

Meanwhile, Gao Bo and Gu Ji rolled towards the flower bed in the middle of the street.

Another patrol officer seemed unresponsive, still thinking of checking on his teammate, but as soon as he turned around, a second gunshot rang out, and the bullet instantly hit the area of his right shoulder clavicle, knocking him to the ground.

"Ah..."

Hearing the patrol officer’s screams, Gao Bo, who was closest to him, intended to bend down and pull him up.

Unexpectedly, just as he extended his hand, "bang", a bullet landed on the pavement near his fingertips, kicking up a cloud of dust. If it moved another two inches, his fingers would be severed!

Gu Ji hurriedly grabbed his belt and forcibly pulled Gao Bo back.

In an instant.

The sound of two bullets whistling through the air impacted the flower bed above their heads, with shrapnel nearly grazing Gu Ji’s scalp, leaving his crown feeling cold.

Gu Ji and Gao Bo could only curl into a ball, pressing closely against the side of the flower bed, not daring to reveal even a bit.

"Mr. Gu!"

"I’m fine. Can any of you see the sniper’s location?"

"The buildings in this area are all low-rise, without drones, we can’t see anything..."

At the alley corner, Yao Zhan was just about to peek out to observe when he was shot back by a bullet halfway through his sentence.

Evidently, this sniper had locked onto them!

Gu Ji wiped his face, eyes red, breathing heavily, his head swiveling in his neck, scanning the surroundings with his peripheral vision.

This was the street closest to the Ministry of Defense building.

Apparently, the PM mercenaries had probably succeeded and retreated from the Ministry of Defense’s courtyard, but ended up temporarily trapped in this area by various military special forces and mercenaries.

His eyes flashed, and Gu Ji locked onto the five-story Western-style building behind them.

"Li Yanan, Gao Bo, and I can’t escape the flower bed right now. You guys head to the rooftop of that building behind us, find a high-angle position, and see if you can spot the enemy sniper!"

"Okay!"

Li Yanan agreed, then led the others back to the stairs, climbing all the way to the top floor, kicking open the rooftop safety door.

But as she exposed half of her body, "whizz", a bullet landed in front of her.

"Report, Gu Ji, we’ve reached the rooftop, but we’re still exposed within the enemy sniper’s firing range. We can’t show ourselves, let alone locate his position!"

"This sniper’s skill is far superior to those two at the convention center!"

Gao Bo gritted his teeth and turned to look at Gu Ji, "How about we have Xv Guangpeng contact Mr. Yasen for help?"

"Right now, it’s likely even Yasen and his team can’t take care of themselves."

Gu Ji listened to the occasional gunfire from the alleys, indicating that there were multiple small-scale firefights, not just at their location.

This bunch might not even be targeting the PM mercenaries.

Don’t forget, it’s not just BOPE and these Xia Kingdom special forces being attracted, but also forces like the US DIA, Japan’s Defense Intelligence Headquarters, the Korea National Intelligence Service, and Russia’s GRU.

Everyone wants to be the ultimate winner.

Naturally, this leads to friction and conflict.

Gu Ji and his men, being mere outsiders who barged into this dangerous core of international conflicts, were effectively courting death!

At this time, another bullet hit a white pickup truck parked not far in front of them, blowing out a tire, causing the entire vehicle to sway.

And this swaying motion made Gu Ji notice someone behind the wheel well, "Be alert, there’s someone on the side of the vehicle in front of me, it’s undetermined if they’re hostile!"

Gao Bo frowned, sensing danger, and pulled out a smoke grenade from his waist.

"Should we use the smoke to cover our escape?"

"No, we’re too close. The smoke won’t be effective, save it for later."

Gu Ji directly rejected the idea, as they had limited smoke grenades left, having used many at the convention center earlier, and must conserve them as much as possible.

Furthermore.

They still hadn’t grasped the battlefield situation, not even knowing the enemy’s identity.

Releasing the smoke would be too conspicuous; not to mention the nearby person, it might trigger a collective fire from everyone nearby, leaving them doomed!

"We must find a way to break the standoff quickly."

Gu Ji’s eyes flickered, suddenly noticing the bullet mark beside Gao Bo.

Suddenly, he recalled the wealth of knowledge imprinted from [Weapons and Firepower Control].

According to ballistics, firing from a high position to a low position, the bullet would form an angle with the ground, meaning the bullet would be slanted into the ground.

This would leave a mark about 1 cm long on the ground.

As long as they could gather more ballistic data, they could trace these marks’ angles back to deduce a cone-shaped zone.

This would be a clustered trajectory.

The apex, that’s the sniper!

"Gu Ji, I’ve taken Xv Guangpeng and the others to the top floor bedroom, and the person hiding behind the car seems to be Zhou Yu and Ling Yousong, but we can’t provide support now. Any exposure will get us shot at!"

"What?"

Hearing Li Yaoguang’s report, Gu Ji’s eyes brightened, and he shouted their names, "Zhou Yu! Ling Yousong!"

"Gu Ji? Why are you here?"

Clearly surprised, Zhou Yu switched to a tactical earpiece, "Mr. Gu, you need to leave immediately. It’s very dangerous here, the enemy sniper is highly skilled; once targeted, escape becomes nearly impossible!"
