"Brother Hao, what excellent marksmanship! The rabbit was running so fast, yet you hit it in the head with one shot. A true marksman."
"Alright, hurry up and pick up the rabbit. You're just wasting bullets."
"Brother Hao, you can't say that. This is my first time, and I was a bit excited, my hand trembled a bit," Sun Chaoshu said as he went to pick up the rabbit.
"Bingsheng, you should also take a shot later, get a feel for it. This is completely different from shooting at a fixed target."
"I won't shoot. We don't have many bullets to begin with, so we should conserve them."
"Bingsheng, Chao Shu is right, you should also try it later, just one shot, it's fine. Today, each of us brought 10 rounds of ammunition. One shot is fine."
"Okay, Brother Hao, then I'll take a shot when we encounter prey later."
The three continued walking forward, encountering many prey along the way. There were many rabbits and pheasants, and even a roe deer. However, only Lu Bingsheng fired a shot, hitting a pheasant that was eating grass seeds.
When they encountered other prey, the three no longer fired. One rabbit and one pheasant were already enough for everyone's dinner today.
"Alright, let's eat here. The sun indicates it's already noon. We'll head back after eating."
After walking all morning, they were a bit tired. The three leaned against a large tree and took out the dry rations they carried with them to eat lunch.
As the three were eating, they heard a gunshot in the distance.
The three exchanged glances, put down the dry rations in their hands, and stood up.
Dada dada~
Another series of dense gunshots rang out.
"This definitely isn't a hunter. Hunters don't have such good guns. You two go back and tell Captain Xu and the others. I'll go take a look."
"Brother Hao, let's go together. China has submachine guns; it's too dangerous."
"Yes, Brother Hao, let's go together. We don't know how many people China has. From the gunshots just now, there are at least two people, and one of them has a submachine gun."
"Alright, you two go first. I'll just observe from a distance; I won't get close. You can rest assured about my skills; they won't discover me. Even if they do, don't you know my marksmanship? Every shot hits its target. Now, hurry up and go."
Seeing that Ye Hao insisted on going, the two finally compromised, but as they left, they gave all their bullets to Ye Hao. However, Ye Hao didn't want them. In the end, he couldn't refuse them and took 10 rounds, leaving 4 rounds for each of them.
Watching the two disappear into the dense forest they came from, Ye Hao picked up his San-Ba Da Gai (Type 38 Rifle) and walked towards where the gunshots came from, being very cautious along the way.
After walking over a small hill, he saw figures moving in the forest on the opposite side. He also saw a leopard chasing a person, while others were aiming their guns at the leopard and shooting, but the leopard was too fast, and so many shots missed.
The leopard caught up to the person in front and bit at their neck.
Ah~ A scream came, and the person was pounced on by the leopard and fell to the ground, their neck firmly bitten by the leopard. Just as the leopard pounced on that person, the few people behind seized the opportunity when the leopard stopped and fired several shots. The leopard was hit by so many bullets and clearly wouldn't survive.
Ye Hao heard a series of gibberish sounds.
They're not Chinese. It looks like they're poachers from over the mountains.
There are many wild animals in Changbai Mountain, such as Northeast Tiger, leopards, and Black Bear. These can fetch good prices in Europe and America. Moreover, there are wild ginseng, which are life-saving items. It's not surprising that people from over the mountains cross the border to poach.
"Since they are foreigners, then they should stay. Foreigners still want to poach in Changbai Mountain; I think you don't want to live," Ye Hao muttered to himself.
After the leopard died, the poachers all gathered around the leopard's corpse, which made it convenient for Ye Hao to clearly see the number of enemies. There were a total of 6 people; excluding the one bitten to death by the leopard, there were five people left. All five had guns in their hands: two submachine guns and three rifles. It seemed the submachine guns were the famous MP40, which Ye Hao had seen in movies and games in later generations, and the rifles were San-Ba Da Gai (Type 38 Rifle) like his own.
Ye Hao was confident in his marksmanship, but the enemy had more people and submachine guns. A direct confrontation would definitely be dangerous; those two submachine guns alone were not something he could easily deal with.
He needed to find a way to outsmart them. Ye Hao looked around and found no suitable cover.
However, there seemed to be a hill nearby that he could use to his advantage.
Ye Hao retreated behind the hill while the few people were skinning the leopard and climbed up the ten-meter-high hill.
Once on the hill, his vision immediately became much wider. Ye Hao hid behind a large rock, exposing his gun barrel. This was an excellent sniping point; first, the vision was wide, and second, there was a large rock in front as cover, and it was also shooting from a high position to a low one.
Ye Hao set his first target on one of the two people holding submachine guns. The straight distance to the enemy was about 200 meters. If he hadn't been modified by the spring water, Ye Hao probably wouldn't have been able to see the enemy clearly, but now, after the modification, he could see the opponent clearly.
Bang~
A gunshot rang out, and that person fell to the ground. Ye Hao pulled the bolt, preparing to take out the other person with the submachine gun, but that person reacted quickly. As soon as his companion was hit, he hid behind a tree, causing Ye Hao to lose his target.
The other few reacted quickly as well, swiftly finding cover, but one unlucky fellow was a beat too slow and was taken out by Ye Hao with one shot.
The remaining three, after hiding behind cover, began to retaliate, especially the guy with the submachine gun. It was really like how Black Bear fought in later generations, just sticking a gun out and spraying bullets, not even aiming, not caring if he hit anything.
This made Ye Hao laugh. He hadn't expected such a tactic to exist in this era.
Ye Hao raised his gun and aimed at a person whose leg was exposed. Bang~.
Ah~ A scream came, and that person clutched his leg and rolled out from behind the cover. Ye Hao seized the opportunity, pulled the bolt, aimed, and fired another shot in one fluid motion.
The scream immediately disappeared, and that person would never suffer again.
Three people had already been killed, and the remaining two were directly scared out of their wits. They rushed out of cover with their guns, intending to fight Ye Hao to the death.
Coming out of cover was just serving themselves up, so Ye Hao didn't hold back and cleanly took out the two remaining heads.
After eliminating all the enemies in front of him, Ye Hao cautiously came down from the hill to the enemies' bodies. Seeing that they were all hit in vital spots, he felt relieved, fearing that someone might be feigning death.
"Ugh~"
Upon seeing so many corpses and exploded heads, Ye Hao immediately vomited. After vomiting for a while, Ye Hao took out a cup of spring water from his spatial dimension to rinse his mouth, then drank a cup of spring water. It took him a while to recover and adapt.
Ye Hao gathered all the enemy corpses together and picked up the weapons scattered on the ground. Ye Hao put one of the MP40s and 60 rounds of ammunition into his spatial dimension. Captain Xu and the others would definitely come, and if he didn't collect them now, he wouldn't have another chance. He couldn't collect everything, after all, Sun Chaoshu and Lu Bingsheng also heard the gunshots. As for the San-Ba Da Gai (Type 38 Rifle), Ye Hao didn't care for it. One of those was enough, and he already had a 98K.
