Chapter 1269 Stop
On the vast ice field, the dogs are running hard with four legs.
The hot breath exhaled from the mouth formed a white smoke in the air, which was blown away by the cold wind.
Ole saw Alessia on the side gesturing to him, telling him that he would reach the end of the trip in forty minutes.
However, at this moment, Zhang Heng, who had been very quiet behind Ole, suddenly reached out, patted his back, and shouted in English, "Stop!"
Ole did not stop immediately. He turned around to see what Zhang Heng wanted to do, but when he looked behind him, he found that Zhang Heng had disappeared.
Ole was shocked. He didn't expect that Zhang Heng would be left halfway by him, or... to be more precise, Zhang Heng would jump off the sled on his own initiative.
You must know that the speed of the sled is not slow now, almost 25 kilometers per hour. If you jump like this, you may be thrown somewhere. And just pull the reins at Olai, ready to let the dogs stop. As he stepped down, a gunshot suddenly sounded in his ears.
Ole subconsciously shrank his neck, and after confirming that he was fine, he quickly turned his attention to Alessia's sled, and saw that Alessia was also controlling the dogs to stop. She and Songjia were equally surprised. With an uncertain look, Ole breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned his attention to the other sled, only to see that the man sent by Aleshia's tribe to pick them up tilted his body and fell on the sled.
Then he heard Song Jia shouting, "Get down, get down, Zhang Heng sent me a message saying there are snipers."
Upon hearing this, Ole suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. Before he even had time to stop the dogs completely, he followed Zhang Heng's example and jumped off the sled, lying on the ice sheet motionless.
Alessia and Songjia on the other side were a little slower than him, but they hid quickly. About a minute and a half later, Songjia's phone vibrated again. She gingerly took it out of her pocket and glanced at it quickly, and then some color returned to her face.
"Zhang Heng said that the sniper has left and is chasing him. He asked us to wait where we are."
"Is he going to be okay? The person on the other side has a gun after all," Alessia said in shock. "We can go back to the tribe first and ask the hunters in the tribe to help find the sniper."
Songjia also felt that this was safer, but she sent a message to Zhang Heng, but the latter did not reply.
Because they didn't know what the situation was like on the other side, the three of them didn't even dare to get up from the snow. If Zhang Heng really lost to the sniper who attacked them, the other party would probably come back to kill them. However, the three of them didn't because He was afraid, so he drove away on his sleigh, leaving Zhang Heng alone on the ice field.
Ole and Alessia bent down and ran to the third sled, only to find that the tribesman who came to pick them up was no longer breathing. As for Satchus behind him, he was safe and sound, and there was no fear on his face. , but his eyes were flashing with excitement, as if he was happy to see death with his own eyes.
Although Alessia and Ole were dissatisfied with Sarchus's attitude, because they still needed him to recover the holy objects, they still dragged him from his seat and threw him on the snow.
After that, the three of them waited for about half an hour, and finally saw Zhang Heng walking over from a short distance away, holding a rather small rifle in his hand.
——VOERE S16, this is a lightweight rifle produced by an Austrian company. Different from previous sniper rifles’ pursuit of range and lethality, this compact rifle takes a new approach and achieves the ultimate in portability, weighing only two kilograms. , less than one-seventh of the previous XM109. In order to reduce the weight, a lot of carbon fiber materials are used on the gun body.
Of course, its shooting accuracy and destructiveness are far inferior to the XM109, but it is enough for Zhang Heng, and the most important thing is that it is light enough to easily pursue targets.
After Zhang Heng checked the body of the Inuit who was shot, Alessia asked impatiently.
"How about it, have you found the sniper who attacked us?" Songjia translated her question to Zhang Heng.
As a result, Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "No, he ran away. He seems to be very familiar with the nearby terrain."
Ole and Alessia looked at each other after hearing this, and then the Inuit boy clenched his fists and bitterly said a name through his teeth, "Hans!"
Hans was the one who was responsible for bringing the sacred objects from the tribe to Nuuk. He was also the one who left the mark that only Alessia and Ole could understand, and tricked them into going to the art museum. If not Zhang Heng showed up in time, and both Alessia and Ole must be dead by now.
Ole then saw Zhang Heng put his hand into his pocket and took out a small knife. Seeing the small knife, Aleshia also exclaimed, "This is Hans's knife. He always carries it with him." On his body, could it be that he was really the one who attacked us? Why? He also killed Uncle Luke. Luke has always been very kind to him and taught him how to fish."
Songjia said at this time, "Zhang Heng said you'd better not take that knife seriously. In fact, he didn't want to give it to you because he thought it was thrown there intentionally."
"Deliberately?" Ole's eyes widened. "What about what happened in the museum before? Was it also intentional? But there are very few people who know about that mark. Hans is ambushing here, obviously he wants to finish it. He was afraid that we would tell Kunayu all the good things he had done."
Zhang Heng shook his head, "His target is not you, nor me and Songjia," he said, glancing at Satchus who was sniffing at the side, "That guy named Luke must also be unlucky."
"How did you know?" Alessia asked.
"I saw bright lights flashing in the snow before. I judged that the lens of the sight was reflecting sunlight. Only then did I discover the position of the sniper and the direction in which he was aiming. His shooting skills were not good. I just checked Luke's body was found to have been shot diagonally from behind, which meant that he waited for Luke's sled to pass in front of him before he started aiming... This angle was actually more suitable for shooting Satchus sitting behind the sled. But I didn’t expect that I accidentally killed Luke in front of me.”
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, Alessiya and Olai both looked at each other in confusion. Neither of them expected that Zhang Heng could analyze so many things just from the ballistics, let alone that they still didn't know about the light gun in Zhang Heng's hand. Where did the rifle come from?
