One shot fired!
The target, Hunter, fell at the sound and disappeared from their field of vision.
"Yahoo!"
The killer, a former US Navy SEAL, couldn't help but let out a strange cry.
He had once sniped a target from over 2,000 meters away on the Gulf Battlefield.
However, his condition that day had been exceptionally good.
Moreover, that had been accomplished in broad daylight.
In comparison, today, in the pitch-black night, sniping a target at a distance of at least 1,500 to 1,600 meters
was quite an achievement even for this former Navy SEAL killer who specialized in sniping and had been retired for years.
"Hit!"
He said to his companion!
The killer codenamed Captain, who hailed from a certain US Special Forces unit, immediately stood up.
"Hard to say for sure, but I'll finish him off."
With that, he emerged from the spot where he had been hiding for a long time and prepared to head down the mountain to the place where Hunter was shot.
Black girl also tensed her face and followed him down the mountain.
The remaining three killers also quickly packed their things and headed toward the spot where Hunter had fallen.
No one looked at Jane again, even though they had seemed to care about her attitude before.
In response, the faint smile on Jane's face never vanished.
She naturally knew that because she failed to complete the mission a few days ago, and because she was caught and 'dealt with' twice by Hunter after the failed assassination.
So after returning to New York, Jane had visited the company headquarters.
She personally explained her encounter in detail to several high-level executives of the company.
Of course, Jane naturally wouldn't tell them that she had been 'dealt with' due to the failed mission.
She slightly modified some details, only telling them that the target of the assassination mission the company gave her this time
was not only extremely sharp, dodging Jane's unexpected sniper shot,
but also, after she deliberately approached him,
when she tried to resolve it with close-quarters combat, she was easily defeated and only escaped after paying the price of being injured.
Because of Jane's report, the high-level executives of her Assassin Company took Hunter very seriously.
That was why, in a short period of time, they had mobilized five top killers in the company, second only to Jane.
They had Jane lead the team to kill the mission target.
Jane knew that the Assassin Company actually had considerable doubts about her previous story.
Even the five top killers summoned and transferred by the company this time didn't quite believe her report.
To this, Jane didn't say much.
"They'll know once they suffer a loss."
Jane was also going to make a move today, but not yet.
Regarding Hunter, her current feelings were very complicated.
Hatred was naturally inevitable, but the other party had ultimately spared her life.
Furthermore, the experience in the hotel that night...
...while not exactly wonderful, because her relationship with her husband had gradually cooled after marriage,
Jane would now occasionally and uncontrollably reminisce about it.
"I will personally send you on your way!"
The figures of her five companions soon disappeared.
Jane held up another pair of infrared night-vision binoculars; in the nearly pitch-black sky, she hadn't been able to see clearly just now whether the other party had actually been hit.
However, she had suffered a great loss at Hunter's hands just a few days ago.
So now, she found it hard to believe that Hunter, who could dodge her sniper shot within 500 meters, would be unable to dodge a shot from 1,500 meters away.
Jane didn't quite believe it anyway!
However, as the figures of her companions gradually vanished into the dark night,
Jane quickly put down the infrared night-vision binoculars!
She carefully checked the equipment on her body, and once she was sure everything was stable,
she lightly pressed her headset to turn on the team communication.
Then, Jane opened a case she had brought along.
Inside was an M4 Rifle that she habitually used.
After quickly mounting the accessories onto the rails,
Jane picked up her weapon and also quickly disappeared into the dark night.
All six were top killers, so the distance of two or three kilometers only took them about ten minutes.
For the past few days, they had been monitoring and moving around this area.
No one went astray, and soon the killer codenamed Captain raised his weapon and approached the vicinity of where Hunter had been hit.
"There's blood ahead."
After cautiously approaching, Captain immediately saw the bloodstains on the ground.
But nearby, there were no people or bodies.
After giving a reminder on the communication channel, he followed the bloodstains and looked toward the nearby pasture grass.
The grass on this farm wasn't actually growing very vigorously.
However, it was still about a meter high.
If someone were hiding in the grass and one didn't check carefully, they might not necessarily find them.
The Captain had been somewhat skeptical of Jane's report at first.
But seeing the blood on the ground now, judging by the volume...
Even if that shot hadn't taken his life, it had severely wounded the opponent.
At that moment, the Captain revealed a cruel smile.
Leading the way, he immediately followed the bloodstains and plunged into the grass.
Black girl arrived a few steps after him and, seeing this, plunged in without hesitation as well.
Jane had already caught up with her companions, but she deliberately stayed at the very back.
She also looked at the bloodstains on the ground, but the more she looked, the more it seemed intentional.
Because of her previous experiences, Jane didn't think Hunter was the kind of person who could be wounded by a sniper rifle.
The companions soon all entered the thick grass.
Soon, the Captain, who was walking at the very front, suddenly let out a miserable scream after stepping down.
"...Ah!"
Black girl, who was beside him, was startled and quickly crouched down to hide.
As a result, she heard the Captain start cursing loudly.
"It's a bear trap!"
"There's a trap!"
Black girl immediately became alert and cautiously approached the Captain.
Upon getting close, she saw that the Captain's hands were covered in blood.
He was struggling, bending over to try and pry open a bear trap that had clamped onto his left foot.
"Quick, help me!"
Seeing Black girl approach, the Captain shouted with effort.
Black girl snorted, but she still moved closer to help him.
Suddenly, a faint, almost inaudible sound of something cutting through the air came.
Black girl, who had just reached the Captain's side, felt a sharp pain in her chest.
She couldn't help but look down, only to see a long, thin arrow piercing through her chest.
She instinctively reached for her back, and the cold sensation she felt made her heart sink.
Soon, her vision went black.
With a thud, she collapsed next to the Captain, devoid of any signs of life.
The Captain, who was still trying to pry open the trap on his foot, turned even paler when he saw this.
"He's not dead!"
"Black girl is down."
Enduring the stabbing pain in his foot, the Captain shouted into the communication channel, his voice raspy.
As his voice rang out, another faint whistling sound and a scream followed.
The slaughter in the dark night had begun!
