Strongest Soldier King

"Two Special Forces soldiers? A female guide? Interesting, can you see clearly what they look like?" the middle-aged man asked coldly, his slightly closed triangular eyes glowing with a wise brilliance, as if he could see through the essence behind all layers of fog.

"No, the water vapor is too dense, and the two are wearing camouflage suits, completely covering their faces, making it hard to see clearly. They're using standard Type 88 sniper rifles, nothing special about it," the other party quickly replied.

"We've already conducted a large-scale search here once, there's no reason to search again. Besides, we deliberately made a move at the border to draw their main force over, so why has someone come to search again? Could it be we left some clues behind? Think carefully, did anything fall?" the middle-aged man's serious gaze swept over the two, asking sternly.

"No, even leftover food was buried, no reason something would be dropped," the other responded quickly.

"It better not be, otherwise we're done for. Prepare for combat, after taking out those three, we'll leave here as fast as possible and head into town, it's not safe to stay here long," the middle-aged man said calmly.

"Yes." The other two quickly agreed, grabbing their weapons and moving to the outskirts of the cliff cave. One lay on a large rock, the other hid at an oblique angle, calmly observing the approach of Luo Zheng and the others. The middle-aged man came out as well, taking a quick look; the fog was too thick to see faces clearly. After contemplating, he ruthlessly commanded, "First take out the two soldiers, one per person. The woman looks like a local guide, not a big threat. Save her for later, and remember, it must be a killing shot."

"Understood!" the two responded quickly, chambering bullets. The surrounding waterfall roared, the sound of bullets chambering couldn't travel far. They quickly made shooting preparations, each selecting a target, focusing in and aiming, eyes slightly closed, restraining their killing intent, looking casually at the target. This method is less likely to alert the opposition.

For masters long dwelling on the brink of life and death, the sixth sense becomes extraordinarily sensitive. An extremely threatening look, a killing intent, can all be keenly detected. To avoid alarming the target, the best method is not to look at them, to calm the mind, and as if nothing happened, aim casually, even pulling the trigger should be without any sign. Of course, reaching this level is extremely difficult.

These two have achieved this level, silently aiming at the targets, only using peripheral vision to glimpse the target, judging their position inwardly, waiting for the command. To hit two targets simultaneously, the best method is simultaneous shooting because if just a half beat slow, the other might take cover.

The middle-aged man saw the two were ready and coldly said, "I'll count to three, shoot simultaneously."

The two nodded, and the middle-aged man began counting, "One, two, three!"

"Bang!" The gunshot sounded almost simultaneously, two bullets whistled through the air, slicing through the mist with merciless killing intent, pinpoint accurately hitting Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle's chest areas from just 200 meters away. To ensure a one-shot kill, they chose the larger target, the heart, rather than aiming for the center of the eyebrows.

This shot came without warning, sudden and at close range, with astonishing accuracy. Even with Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle's rich combat experience and strong sixth sense for danger, they hadn't detected any threat beforehand, not even Luo Zheng's familial Breathing Skill in anticipating danger was effective. They were both hit instantly.

The bullet struck the heart, sending a wave of pain, causing their bodies to sway and fall into the water below the rock. Lan Xue, leading the path ahead, keenly heard the gunshot and was greatly alarmed, quickly dropping to the ground, only to find Luo Zheng and Mountain Eagle had already been shot and fell, her face turned pale, anxiously shouting, "Are you alright?"

The two didn't respond. Lan Xue used the boulder for cover, panicked as she crawled over, grabbing the fallen Luo Zheng under the large rock, sitting down, placing his head on her lap, checking the wound. She found the bullet had hit the heart, piercing the Bullet-Resistant Vest and the undershirt into the flesh, blood flowed out, but thankfully not fatally. However, the heart had temporarily stopped from the impact and needed emergency treatment.

Lan Xue quickly performed emergency rescue, opening Luo Zheng's eyelid, determining his consciousness hadn't been lost. Then she checked his breathing; there was no autonomous breathing, but the major artery was still pulsating. She quickly opened Luo Zheng's mouth and unhesitatingly began artificial respiration, performing external chest compressions to restore the heartbeat.

After a while, Luo Zheng slowly woke up. Lan Xue laid him down and continued crawling backward, as lithe as a snake, swiftly maneuvering between the boulders. Soon she found Mountain Eagle, also unconscious, in the same condition as Luo Zheng. Ignoring shyness, she also began performing CPR on Mountain Eagle, providing emergency rescue.

Above the cliff cave, the middle-aged man watched Lan Xue's keen reaction, disappearing from view, feeling puzzled. If she were an ordinary guide, seeing people shot dead wouldn't leave her calm; she would be panicking and running wildly. Thinking this, the middle-aged man felt a growing unease. The two shooters searched for a while and hadn't found any sign of Lan Xue, also sensing something was amiss, their expressions grew grave.

In the middle-aged man's plan, simultaneously shooting the two soldiers would leave the remaining female guide negligible, easily taken care of later. The roaring waterfalls around them, like thousands of galloping horses, made it so anyone above the canyon wouldn't hear. There was no need to worry. Things unfolded as expected; the two soldiers went down, but the female guide didn't flee wildly; she vanished instead.

This situation was unanticipated, deepening the middle-aged man's unease. His face grew cold as he instructed one person, "Go take a look. We'll provide you with fire cover. There's strong signal interference here, so she won't contact the outside, but we must still guard against any chance. We need a quick operation and then evacuate."

"The only method of contact with the outside here is firing a gun into the air. There's nobody else around; even if she fires, it's no cause for concern. As long as we finish her within a few minutes, it's fine. Boss, just watch, there's no chance of error," the addressed person agreed, climbing the rock face downward.

The cliff cave was about ten meters from the valley floor, with protruding rocks and recessed crevices to climb down. This person, armed, climbed down agilely like a monkey, moving quickly and soon reached the valley floor. Climbing without any cover made him a sitting duck, but no shots were fired, boosting his confidence further. He casually found a spot to hide, took the weapon from his back, and stealthily advanced, his expression menacing.
