Gunshots still echoed, bullets flying.
Zhang Jie's ears were filled with the sound of gunfire and ricocheting bullets, but at this moment, he had no time to pay attention to them.
Looking at the Omega wristwatch on his hand, Zhang Jie's expression finally changed. Was this a narrow escape from death?
This wristwatch was given to him by James Bond after he used it during the previous Blackthorn Castle mission.
It was quite funny; Bond threw the watch to him when he was trapped in an iron cage, and he returned the watch to Bond when he went to rescue Bond, but Bond gave the watch back to him after he freed himself.
Indeed, there is a predetermined fate in every interaction.
He never expected that the one who ultimately saved him was this CIA agent from MI6. Although he was now far away in Europe, he still saved him, and Zhang Jie had to acknowledge this favor.
Ignoring the gunshots outside, Zhang Jie directly took off his watch and began operating on the dial.
Then, he turned and pressed the crown against the container behind him, and a thin, light blue laser shot out from the watch's emitter.
In the blink of an eye, a hole large enough for him to pass through was cut into the container behind Zhang Jie.
At the same time, Thomas, who was firing outside, took a flashbang from his tactical vest, pulled the pin, paused for a moment, and then threw the M84 flashbang.
The moment the flashbang landed, Zhang Jie also squeezed into the newly cut hole, then quickly ran to the other end under the cover of gunfire.
As soon as he reached the middle of the container, there was a sudden flash behind him, followed by a shockwave that surged over his body.
The shockwave was instantly amplified, and Zhang Jie only felt ringing in his ears, dizziness, and nausea.
Damn it!
The opponent actually used a flashbang at this time, seemingly wanting to capture him alive and torture him thoroughly.
Enduring the physical discomfort, Zhang Jie quickly cut another small hole on the other side with his watch and squeezed out.
After putting the watch back on his wrist, Zhang Jie took off running. At this point, this location was not very far from the seaside on the other side.
Although his body was a bit wobbly, rushing over was not a big problem.
And after the flashbang detonated, the squad members also stopped Shooting.
Matthew walked over to find your side empty.
Just as he was puzzled, he saw the small hole that had been cut.
"Damn it! He got away!"
Instantly, the other squad members rushed over, gritting their teeth in anger as they looked at the small hole.
The drone, which had restarted its flight and was scouting, had been parked above this area after Zhang Jie was forced into this corner.
It did not take any other action, while Zhang Jie passed through the tail of the container to the other end.
He then continuously passed through the gaps between multiple containers and ran out, having long since avoided the drone's sight.
Matthew directly squeezed through the hole, and soon saw another small hole cut at the other end of the container. After squeezing out, he found that this was a nearly interconnected labyrinth of container gaps, with at least four gaps leading outwards.
At the same time, Evil Wolf also arrived at their firing location.
Looking at the spent casings scattered on the ground, the angry team members, and the small hole in the container, he was uncharacteristically silent.
He couldn't believe that despite layers of encirclement, this rat had still managed to escape?
The drone operator immediately launched the drone into the air when he heard Matthew say that the person had escaped, but found nothing.
Three minutes earlier, at a tall tower 600 meters from the port, a man carrying a box quickly ran up and took out a TAC-50 from the box. It was equipped with a Schmidt & Bender PM II 5-25 × 56 (with H59 reticle) scope, and the muzzle was fitted with an MAE suppressor (reducing 30% recoil and muzzle flash).
In 2002 Afghanistan, the TAC-50 set the then-longest record for killing a Taliban member at 3815 meters.
And the person who fired the shot was him.
At this moment, he set up the TAC-50, adjusted the scope, and began observing. Soon, he saw the location of the tactical squad.
To ensure his safety, he did not enter the port or get too close to it, choosing to stay 600 meters away. From this position to the tactical squad's location, it was at least 1200 meters, but this was still within his Shooting range.
Thirteen minutes had passed since he left and arrived. He didn't know if the person he wanted to save was dead, but judging by the scene, he was probably still alive.
Firing a shot was not an option yet.
With so many people, he could at most kill one or two, and he would quickly expose his position, as the opponents were also very professional, as he saw the drone in the air.
He was considering whether to shoot down the drone.
Firing from 1200 meters away, neither the muzzle flash nor the gunshot could possibly be heard by the opponents.
This could be considered creating some opportunities for the person he wanted to save.
Thinking this, he aimed his scope directly at the drone in the air.
The drone was still moving slowly in the air, apparently still searching for the person he wanted to save. After a quick estimation, he held his breath and then pressed the trigger.
Bang—hum!
The muzzle flash was fleeting, and no one noticed anything unusual.
It was a joke; if anyone could see the muzzle flash of a TAC-50 from 1200 meters away, that person would definitely be a superman.
1.8 seconds later, the drone, still flying along its original trajectory in the air, was instantly shot down by a high-speed bullet.
The screen was lost in an instant, and the flight controller immediately shouted into the earpiece, "Drone shot down!"
That one sentence made all the team members tense up, because the drone's flight distance meant that neither a rifle nor a Pistol could hit it, and the drone had no indicator lights whatsoever. Apart from some propeller noise, it was completely in silent mode.
To be shot down at this moment could only mean one possibility: there was a sniper nearby, and a highly skilled one at that!
The reason for choosing to shoot down the drone first was to provide cover for that guy, but there was also a possibility that it was meant as a warning to them.
Therefore, the moment the flight controller warned them, all members of the Massacre Squad began to be on alert and immediately found cover on the spot to conceal themselves.
Although they knew very well that these thin metal sheets could not stop a sniper's bullet, at this moment, they would hide if they could, even Evil Wolf.
"There's even outside help. I underestimated you. It seems you are more difficult to deal with than I imagined!"
Evil Wolf's heart was cold; being targeted by a sniper was not a good thing, he knew that very well.
But there was nothing he could do. Who would have thought that an assassin could also have connections with a sniper? And the fact that no shots were fired before, and he was allowed to act freely, indicated that the sniper had only just arrived.
Not immediately sniping his team members showed that the sniper had reservations, primarily focused on allowing that guy to escape.
"It seems the cat and mouse game continues!"
Evil Wolf hid behind the container, waiting for the sniper's next shot, but after waiting for a long time, he heard no movement, nor any news of casualties among the squad members.
Zhang Jie also didn't know that someone was saving him.
He now had only one thought: to escape through the port. Going by road was impossible, so there was only one way: he looked at the waves beneath his feet.
Meanwhile, the man high above had already found the person he wanted to save, only... the man behind the scope widened his eyes,
This person is going to jump into the sea?!
