Chapter 707
There was no response in the church .
Xia Lei clearly saw the old man by the entrance making a hand gesture at the old woman by the window with his left eye . At the same time, the sniper came down from the steeple . He moved carefully to the pulpit and set his sniper rifle there . His sniper rifle was the M82A1, produced by the Barrett Company . It was nicknamed “Light 50”, with a range of 1,850 metres . This gun could destroy car engines, not to mention penetrate brick walls and cement .
After he made preparations to shoot, the sniper made a hand signal to the old man and the old woman .
This hand signal clearly meant that the old man and the old woman were to talk to Xia Lei . After the sniper had gotten a grasp on where Xia Lei was, they could then kill him through the wall .
Sure enough, after the sniper made his hand gesture, the old man guarding the entrance said, “Leave your things here and we’ll let you go . ”
‘Could these three people know of the maze’s existence? Why else would they tell me to leave my things here?’ thought Xia Lei . While thinking this, he kept his silence and slowly reached down to pick up a rock from the ground .
Just then, the old woman guarding the window said, “Youngster, there is no need to die here . Leave the things you took out of the maze here and we will not make things difficult for you . ”
These old people really did know of the maze’s existence .
Xia Lei suddenly threw the rock at the window .
Crash! The rock clattered to the ground, as if someone had suddenly jumped to that side .
Bang! The first person to react was the sniper .
At the gunshot, a fist-sized hole immediately appeared in the wall next to the window . The bullet split the wall and the shell bounced off the ground . The stone of the wall had actually been broken open, and split to pieces!
In practically the same instant as when the sniper fired, Xia Lei moved out from the corner of the wall and fired the Viper . The bullet penetrated the window and embedded itself into the sniper’s forehead .
Blood spurted, and the sniper’s body fell onto the pulpit, crashing to the floor along with his M82A1 sniper rifle .
The sniper and his M82A1 sniper rifle had been a big threat to Xia Lei because the M82A1 sniper rifle could penetrate walls and kill a target . Xia Lei immediately felt a lot less pressured after eliminating the sniper .
Xia Lei abruptly threw himself to the ground after that one shot .
Rat-tat-tat!
The old woman by the window raked at him with machine-gun fire and a flurry of rifle bullets swooshed past Xia Lei’s back .
Bang bang bang!
Xia Lei returned fire and rolled towards the corner of the wall as he shot back . His Viper’s three bullets hit the wooden frame of the window and the wall . Fighting at this distance didn’t allow the other party to have any advantages even though he only had a handgun . His immediate return fire pushed the old woman back .
“Renault? Renault!” The old man’s voice was filled with anger . “You actually killed Renault? I’ll send you to hell!”
Xia Lei had already stood up along the wall . He slowly moved forward and turned around the corner while saying, “We’re all going to go to hell sooner or later . Tell me who you guys are and who sent you here, and I might hold back from sending you guys to hell today . ”
He could speak now that the sniper was dead .
“You don’t deserve to know!” He heard the old man’s voice and moving footsteps .
A cold smile surfaced on Xia Lei’s lips . He suddenly kicked a fist-sized rock at the window, then rounded the corner and went towards the doorway .
Thunk! The rock clattered on the ground under the window again .
“Die!” The old woman suddenly appeared with the muzzle of her gun pointed at the area underneath the window and she fired .
Sawdust flew, and smoke filled the air . Bullets tore into the ground and sparks flew in all directions .
He’d used the same trick but it still worked . This wasn’t because the old woman was dumb, but rather because of human instinct . When one was unable to see the enemy, sound would become the only way to determine where the enemy was . Since the sound had come so close to her, how could she not respond to that?
However, she didn’t think that the sound of her TAR-21 assault rifle would just happen to cover up the sounds of Xia Lei’s movements .
Xia Lei had gotten close to the entrance in two seconds .
The old man was still moving towards the M82A1 sniper which had fallen onto the ground . He clearly meant to pick the M82A1 sniper up and shoot at Xia Lei through the wall while Xia Lei was exchanging fire with the old woman .
However, he didn’t expect that his and the old woman’s every movement would not escape Xia Lei’s eye .
This actually wasn’t a fair contest because Xia Lei was cheating .
Xia Lei leaped out from the church hall door with a step . While his body was horizontally in the air, the old woman and old man both entered his firing range .
Bang! A gunshot sounded .
The old man had gotten hold of the M82A1 rifle when he was shot in the back by the Viper . His movements immediately stopped, like a machine with an electric power failure . He then crashed to the ground .
“No—” The old woman bellowed, turned and moved her hand . The TAR-21 assault rifle muzzle pointed straight at the hall entrance .
But she was still a step too late .
Xia Lei’s body was still falling in midair, his hands still in the position that he had when he had killed the old man . He only adjusted the muzzle direction slightly and pulled the trigger . The old woman at the window had only just moved her muzzle in the direction of the hall entrance .
