Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 592 Counterattack
Lin Qiang had just ordered them to defend against the Devourers, and now Duan Xue was constantly sniping at the Devourers. Naturally, the child soldier sniper wouldn't easily attack, especially since he wasn't confident, because Duan Xue's sniper rifle was Death Howl, and its range and power far exceeded his heavy sniper rifle.
To be honest, although Duan Xue was a level-three ability user who could easily use Death Howl, she was just an ordinary person after all, and couldn't compare with a truly trained sniper.
She was only able to snipe because all her targets were Devourers, creatures that didn't understand what sniping was. If Duan Lei hadn't added the instruction to snipe all Devourers, and her targets had included the child soldiers, she definitely wouldn't have been able to complete her sniping so calmly.
The reasoning was simple. Although Gray Bear had told Duan Xue how to find a suitable sniper position, and Duan Xue's position was indeed good, being behind a window...
She hadn't changed her position at all from beginning to end, which was something no sniper would ever do. Fire a shot and move to a new location—this was something every sniper had to know.
Gray Bear knew this, but the problem was that when Gray Bear taught Duan Xue how to snipe, he was using zombies as the hypothetical enemy. When killing zombies, was there any need to change positions? So, he hadn't mentioned it at all.
And Duan Xue, because of the Death Howl's bullets, ended her sniping after killing all the Devourer leaders who were gathering together, and left her sniper position, returning to the war chariot. Naturally, the child soldier sniper who had been watching her had no chance to attack!
The bullet just now was fired by the child soldier sniper who had been aiming at Duan Xue. In fact, this sniper had only received Lin Qiang's first order, which was to probe the convoy.
However, as a professionally trained sniper, the child soldier would certainly not snipe those sitting on top of the carriages who were obviously ability users.
Although those people might be stronger, and the driver was just an ordinary person, for a sniper, the first thing to consider was how to create the most trouble for the enemy.
In his eyes, even the wheels were more valuable to snipe than the people in the carriages. Killing the people in the carriages wouldn't have a big impact on the convoy, but taking out a vehicle, causing it to suddenly lose control or break down, would affect all the vehicles behind it.
Throwing the convoy into chaos—that was what a strategic sniper should do first!
And this gunshot did indeed affect the convoy. Although the truck went straight off the road, the cars behind it still subconsciously slammed on their brakes. After all, they were all ordinary people. The first reaction of every driver who saw a car accident ahead was to stop.
"Keep going, don't stop! As long as the road isn't blocked, the cars behind should continue forward! Hurry!!!"
At this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigner jumped out of the attacked carriage, shouting loudly in broken Chinese. It was Lucas!
No matter what, Lucas was a soldier, even if he was a navy sailor on a warship. He definitely had the ability to deal with this kind of emergency, and in fact, all the foreigners Gray Bear brought back had experience in this area.
Following Lucas's shouts, the other foreigners also jumped out of the cars and stood on the side of the road to direct traffic. Of course, they didn't speak Chinese, but making a few simple gestures wasn't a problem. As long as they kept waving forward, even an idiot would know they were telling them to move forward!
Because these foreigners had been the main force in the battle all along, killing zombies and saving people, they had a lot of prestige in the team, and their orders were naturally obeyed.
Some of the other foreigners were busy directing the cars, while others picked up weapons and began to stand guard around them. At this time, one could see the quality of soldiers. No matter which country they were from, as long as they were soldiers, they would never panic like ordinary people when faced with an emergency.
Some of the foreigners consciously directed the vehicles, while others were either on top of the carriages or in the trees by the road, independently searching for firing positions. Then, they began to suppress the positions around them that could become sniper nests with firepower.
They didn't need to see anyone; as long as they felt someone was there, they would just open fire!
Hearing the gunshot, Duan Lei also reacted quickly. He immediately handed the car over to Duan Xue. Then, Duan Lei, Fatty, Tian Ya, and Gray Bear all appeared on top of the war chariot.
"Come over here!!!"
Fatty roared as soon as he appeared on top of the war chariot, activating his taunt skill.
This skill could be effective against zombies, humans, and other creatures, as long as they were hostile targets.
The only difference was that this taunt didn't add any other effects. It just made all hostile targets who could hear his voice and see him attack him.
When facing a zombie horde, this skill would certainly cause all the zombies to pounce on Fatty, playing the role of aggro. But now, they were being attacked by Lin Qiang's child army.
Even if these guys weren't snipers, they still had rifles and other ranged weapons, so they wouldn't rush up. They would just use various firearms to shoot at Fatty.
Of course, it wasn't without effect. At least, the targets affected by the taunt skill wouldn't act like before. Instead, they would attack Fatty with all their might, in a state of fury.
So, after Fatty's skill was released, all the hidden men in black stood up and aimed their weapons at Fatty, pulling the trigger fiercely. Even the sniper who had just changed sniper positions and was preparing to snipe the next target stood up and used his sniper rifle in a standing position to fire at Fatty!
"Pu pu pu pu..."
Because he had activated Absolute Defense, all the bullets were deflected by Fatty, making sounds like hitting worn leather. At the same time, Duan Lei, Gray Bear, Tian Ya, and all the armed warriors also began shooting at the men in black who had voluntarily exposed themselves.
These men in black weren't Lin Qiang's main force; they were just the two small squads he had left behind earlier, only twenty people in total!
Moreover, among these twenty people, there were only two snipers. The rest were all using assault rifles. After all, this was the apocalypse, and the main enemy was still zombies. Dealing with them was better with the faster rate of fire of assault rifles.
Under the counterattack of Duan Lei and the others, these two squads of men in black who had exposed their positions were almost completely annihilated within ten seconds. Even the two snipers died under the sniper rifles of Gray Bear and George...
