Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 556 - 127: Cliff Jump

The noise of crashing into the mountain was enormous. Even if the opponent were deaf, the violent shaking of the mountain clearly indicated Sun Hang’s arrival... not to mention the thunderous sonic boom during flight.

Using Kui Niu’s ability, Sun Hang accelerated with electromagnetic fields, which indeed allowed him to fly quickly, but the stealth was almost non-existent, and flexibility couldn’t compare to the winged Mr. Wang... Sun Hang recalled when he brought Ling Xiao back to Dubhe Tower seeking help from Yi Four Two Three... Luckily, they didn’t collide with the skyscrapers and suspension tracks of Chunming City, or maybe Sun Hang’s emergency burst of potential elevated his maneuvering skills to exceptional levels at the last moment.

Sun Hang leaned more towards the former.

Sun Hang surveyed the area and quickly found a path through the thorns—the opponent retreated hurriedly, neither masking the trail entrance nor erasing the footprints on the soil.

However, even if the other party had perfectly concealed their tracks, the faint paranormal presence lingering along the retreat path couldn’t escape Sun Hang’s perception... He almost instantly locked onto the opponent’s position.

Very close, less than a hundred meters away!

At this moment, Sun Hang heard the furious voice of the external operations group leader in his earbuds: "Mr. Sun Hang... six agents sniped have all been confirmed dead... They were recruits, not more than a month into the job, including two who just turned eighteen..."

"Are you implying I should avenge them?" Sun Hang replied, "Shouldn’t we capture them alive?"

The leader took a deep breath, even though he wished Sun Hang would kill the sniper, rationality made him speak against his will, "If possible, please try to capture them alive."

"I’ll do my best."

As soon as these words left his mouth, a shadow of blue flames flickered around Sun Hang.

This shadow of blue flames didn’t directly touch the thorns a few meters away, nor did they ignite the thorns, merely enveloping them in a layer of charred "shell" on the surface.

"Setting fire to the mountain and ending up in jail... But if one uses high heat to instantly carbonize the vegetation on the mountain, would that strictly count as ’burning’?"

Sun Hang merely "heated" them a little.

Sun Hang’s body suddenly accelerated, creating a strong airflow, while the carbonized thorns and trees disintegrated into fragments, scattering all over the ground!

In an instant, Sun Hang caught up with the sniper who was desperately trying to escape!

This was a slender fellow, with a build quite similar to the scavenger girl Sun Hang encountered in the shopping center earlier, but the opponent wore a current Xiazhou Federal Army camouflage uniform instead of ill-fitting designer coats obtained from zero-yuan purchases, layered with a military model power exoskeleton.

In the sniper’s arms, tightly held an old "Dragunov" sniper rifle... This was military-standard equipment from the Siberian Federation last century, retired decades ago, only found in military museums or homes of well-connected firearm collectors... Besides these places, another area held many "Dragunov" sniper rifles.

Only that area didn’t belong to the human sphere of influence.

That area was the Surrendered Area of the Siberian Federation.

In the late stage of the first paranormal war, the Siberian Federation was nearly devoid of usable soldiers, leading the Federation Government to distribute retired old firearms from warehouses to civilians, urging them to take up arms to defend their homes... According to relevant documents, at least over thirty thousand "Dragunov" sniper rifles were handed to Siberian Federation civilians.

Regrettably, most of these thirty thousand plus "Dragunov" sniper rifles were buried within the Surrendered Area alongside their owners, with only a few brought by retreating Siberians to the Lake Baikal Shore.

Later, considering security management, the Xiazhou Federation confiscated weapons from Siberian Federation refugees, with a few guns preserved as war relics, while the rest faced dismantling and destruction.

The "Dragunov" sniper rifle in this sniper’s hand was old and worn—the steel barrel full of rust, the birch wood stock and fore-end covered in cracks, seemingly ready to disintegrate at any moment, even the muzzle’s silencer had nearly all its black paint scraped off... Yet, this nearly half-buried antique gun was precisely the source of the paranormal presence Sun Hang had been tracking. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Beyond a doubt, the "Dragunov" was mystical equipment!

The "Dragunov" sniper rifle has an extreme range of 1300 to 1500 meters, beyond which, without regard to hitting the target, the bullet’s penetration and lethality significantly drop... Yet, this sniper killed six external agents with protective gear with precision at three times the extreme range...

Sun Hang saw clearly that among the six sacrificed agents, one had their helmet pierced by a bullet, and another shot through the lungs despite wearing a Kevlar bulletproof vest... Such shooting effect could likely only be achieved by mystical equipment.

"Stop!" Sun Hang landed abruptly in front of the sniper, his feet stamping two centimeters deep pits into the hard rock, resembling a spiderweb cracking patterns rapidly spreading from his stance, "If you don’t want to die, raise your hands and surrender."
