Although Lin Shi had not practiced with the crossbow for long, he had already discovered his astonishing control over long-range weapons.
"Whoosh!"
The crossbow's arrow made little noise, but it created a distinct sound as it sliced through the shrubbery leaves.
Amidst the dense sound of rain, the unusual noise made Number 2's ears twitch.
"Something's up!"
"Ugh!"
Number 2's warning and the muffled groan of another bodyguard sounded simultaneously.
The arrow had struck a bodyguard directly.
Under the thermal imaging night vision goggles, the positions and movements of the five people hiding behind the bushes were clearly displayed before Lin Shi's eyes.
"Get down!" The bodyguards reacted quickly, immediately lying flat on the muddy ground.
The four lay motionless in the mud, not daring to move.
Tonight, there was no moon, and in the pitch-black rainforest, they had no idea where the enemy was or where the attack had come from.
"Be careful, they have thermal imaging equipment!" Number 2 whispered.
If the enemy had approached closely, they would not have failed to notice.
The only possibility was that the enemy was sniping them from a distance.
They also had a sniper among them, but a sniper rifle was useless in this kind of jungle.
It was a crossbow!
Number 2 crawled forward to the team member who had been hit by the arrow and, seeing the arrow embedded in the member's head, became even more certain of this.
Now they were truly in a dilemma: if they advanced, they didn't know where the enemy was; if they retreated, they would be sitting ducks on the beach.
The other bodyguards also felt somewhat desperate.
They hadn't expected this assassin to be so well-prepared, having placed equipment on this small island in advance!
Those who originally didn't quite believe that Lin Shi was disguised as an assassin also wavered!
In the heavy rain of the dark night, Lin Shi's sharp eyes focused on the scope, his expression cold, his thin lips slightly pursed.
With a squeeze of the trigger, the black arrow pierced through layers of water curtains and a few grass leaves, shooting towards a bodyguard at an unusually fierce speed!
"Pffft!"
The barely audible sound of the arrow entering flesh, followed by a restrained groan.
Another person had been hit!
But after waiting for a while, Lin Shi noticed that there was no rapid loss of body temperature on the thermal imaging night vision goggles.
This person was not dead.
It seemed that he had not hit a vital spot.
With four bodyguards left, they were now all lying in the grass, and the dense weeds and shrubs on the island greatly affected the accuracy of the crossbow.
Lin Shi glanced around and locked onto a pine tree to the right.
He flipped his hand to put the crossbow back into space, and like a nimble mountain cat, he climbed the tree.
After quickly finding his footing and hiding his figure, a crossbow appeared in his hand again, aiming and shooting!
"Ugh!"
Another short scream, and a bodyguard's chest was pierced by a sharp arrow.
"Hei Zi!"
The person next to the shot bodyguard looked up and called out.
But another arrow broke through the rain, and this arrow hit the forehead of the bodyguard who wanted to check on his companion!
Number 2 frowned and whispered:
"About two hundred meters to the northwest! On that tree!"
After speaking, he directly stood up and moved forward for dozens of meters with a zigzag walk, leaning against a tree and shooting!
"Bang!"
The shooting was very accurate, hitting the position Lin Shi had just hidden in.
Unfortunately, it was now empty, where was Lin Shi's figure.
After shooting two arrows, Lin Shi's crossbow disappeared from his hand in the first place, and he had already slid down to the ground hugging the tree trunk.
Snipers have the saying of changing positions after one shot.
How could he foolishly shoot in the same place continuously.
When Number 2 fired, Lin Shi had already climbed to another tree a few meters away from his previous position.
This extremely accurate shot also startled him, and this person was very likely the sniper who had sniped him on the yacht.
Hearing Number 2 report the position, another bodyguard got up and prepared to attack by hiding behind a tree like Number 2.
However, as soon as he stood up, he heard a roar from Number 2:
"Stay down!"
It was too late.
"Whoosh!"
The last thing the bodyguard saw was a pitch-black, chilling arrow.
"Thud!"
The arrow hit the eye, killing with a single shot!
Thus, out of the five bodyguards, only one remained!
...
Number 2 hid behind a tree, his side exposed.
Icy, piercing raindrops slid down his resolute face.
Once, he was a somewhat famous international mercenary, a sniper.
He was the one who fired the sniper rifle on the beach earlier.
It was only because of a betrayal by a comrade during a mission that he became disheartened and left that circle to become a bodyguard.
Among the eight bodyguards, he was the most unsocial, accustomed to solitude, and always silent and reserved.
Ah Biao, on the other hand, was adept at pleasing and flattering, earning more trust from Shen Jinbin, which is why he could become the leader among the eight.
Since the beginning of his life on the edge of a knife, Number 2 knew there would be a day when he would die at someone else's hands.
Now, that day had finally come.
He knew he might not be able to leave this island this time.
At this moment, an arrow was embedded in Number 2's right arm, the arrow piercing through his arm, the sharp, barbed arrowhead still clinging to a bit of his flesh and blood.
Having his right hand, adept at shooting, incapacitated meant losing more than half of his combat strength.
But there was no ripple in his eyes, nor the fear of a man about to die.
As the rain grew heavier, he, holding the gun with his left hand, noticed the enemy had changed positions and wanted to warn his teammates, but it was already too late!
A faint sound of something breaking the air, the death of his teammate allowed him to locate Lin Shi again.
Number 2 took a deep breath, his eyes becoming as still as an ancient well, quickly calculating Lin Shi's position in his mind, and then he swiftly left cover.
He fired resolutely!
This was actually entering a state of genetic lock!
...
After Lin Shi shot an arrow from the tree, a strong sense of danger suddenly appeared!
It was even more intense than the sense of danger when he was targeted by a sniper rifle on the beach before!
He loosened his grip and leaned back to narrowly avoid a bullet.
But the tree was extremely slippery, and he fell into the air.
This situation was very dangerous; once in the air, the enemy could predict his position, and by simply lowering the gun, they could hit him.
And he could not dodge in mid-air at all.
However, Lin Shi was prepared, and with a flip, he returned to the tree.
In his hand, he had been holding a rope all along!
The rope had already been tied to the tree.
At this moment, Lin Shi was also extremely shocked inside.
The enemy's marksmanship was so precise that they could find his position in the dark, rainy night from over two hundred meters away.
Once could be a coincidence, but twice could only indicate that the opponent had extraordinary marksmanship!
So, after being discovered for the first time, he was prepared to dodge this time.
Without night vision equipment, Lin Shi did not believe the opponent could still find his position now!
However, he was wrong this time.
"Bang!"
Another gunshot, the moment Lin Shi returned to the branch, a bullet hit his left shoulder!
Even though he defied the laws of physics and returned to the tree, the enemy still found his position.
How was this possible?
Lin Shi was astonished in his heart!
A lucky shot?
Although the bullet was blocked by the bulletproof vest, the impact caused Lin Shi to fall towards the tree again!
And at this moment, a strong sense of danger swept over his entire body!!
