"Damn it! What do we do now?"
It was Little Devil who was cursing. After leaving that area, Johnny and his group of five headed towards the most densely populated direction.
Because they knew very well that the more people there were, the faster those guys would be eliminated. And as long as they got there, it wasn't just to get a piece of the pie, but also to avoid being targeted.
The faster they were eliminated, the more dangerous that area was, but it also came with huge rewards.
In a situation where positions were updated every moment, not taking the initiative only meant passively waiting for death, so it was better to take a gamble.
Of course, there were still considerations when choosing a route; try to avoid crowded places and head towards less crowded or empty areas. This was the safest method.
However, they were ambushed when passing through an abandoned building.
The first shot hit Johnny. If it weren't for his crisis reaction at the critical moment, which made him subconsciously swing his arm and miss the headshot, he probably would have been dead.
Even so, his right shoulder still hurt a lot.
Because he was wearing a bulletproof suit combined with a bulletproof vest, the lethality of that shot was greatly reduced, but pain was inevitable.
However, the group still reacted quickly and dove towards nearby cover, but they were now facing a very bad problem: someone was setting up a sniper rifle from a high vantage point, which meant there must be his teammates all around.
This current position, even if not carefully planned or chosen, must have been carefully considered.
The person was on the 4th floor across the way, as that was the high ground.
Their current position was no different from a shooting range for the opponent.
Not to mention that there must be his teammates lurking around, waiting for an opportunity. At this moment, how to choose became a critical issue.
Little Devil was quite anxious. He clearly understood the risks of being trapped in this place, but it was unrealistic for him to run out. After all, with his short legs, he would probably be done for within a couple of steps.
Then, after being suddenly ambushed, Johnny's mind was also a bit chaotic. He rubbed his painful right shoulder and quickly analyzed the situation.
"The high ground is on the 4th floor. I noticed it when we came over, but there should also be their people around. Our current position should be the front section. If they want to flank us, it would either be from the left or right. There shouldn't be anyone behind us. Otherwise, we might have been completely surrounded when we first came in."
Johnny calmly analyzed the situation and even used the map on his watch to make judgments.
"The problem is, even if there's no one behind us now, it's very difficult for us to break through. Just that high ground above is enough to give us a headache."
Ghost Wolf calmly added, "Also, if there are people on both sides, we will be completely passive and unable to take out the person on the high ground. And we have no way to run left or right from this position; we'd be like targets."
Ghost Wolf's words made everyone's hearts sink again. Indeed, this position was like an isolated island, just one spot, and they could only hide there.
To the left, it was at least 100 meters to the next continuous cover and building ruins.
To the right, although the intervening distance was only over 50 meters, this large empty area was as conspicuous as a black dot on a white paper.
If they were to go backward, there was an interval of nearly 40 meters, and there was also a wall of nearly two meters in front.
If they continued to advance, how would they cross that nearly 50-meter open area?
Even Usain Bolt couldn't accomplish that in a few seconds, could he?
It could be said that this place was like an isolated island now. No matter which direction they ran from, they would be under the opponent's watchful eyes. Even if five people ran separately, they might not be able to get out alive, because the opponent was not just one person.
Even Little Devil closed his eyes. Before coming, he had looked at the map. There were four red dots here.
That is to say, the five-person group had already lost one, but as long as two of these four were watching from a high position, they would become extremely dangerous. If they kept staying here, the other two teammates would also try to take them out.
For a time, the situation became very tense.
"Is there any way to attract their attention?"
Lissandra was clearly unwilling to be trapped here. She also knew that the longer they stayed here, the deeper the danger would become.
"Attract attention? With our lives?"
Little Devil rolled his eyes directly. John and Ghost Wolf did not speak; they were also considering countermeasures.
There was simply no bait that could attract others' attention, unless they pushed their own teammates out, but such an act would be too treacherous.
Ghost Wolf and John had already started guarding left and right, and Johnny was also pondering the problem. If he wanted to run from the right, at least someone would have to act as bait.
From that previous shot, Johnny could tell that the guy was using a designated marksman rifle, but the problem was right there: if the opponent was using a designated marksman rifle, it meant they could fire continuously.
Even if the first shot didn't hit him, what about the second and third shots?
"If one of us peeks out, the shooter should aim at the exposed spot, right?"
Johnny suddenly asked.
Ghost Wolf and John both looked back at him at the same time. Of course they knew that. It was a no-brainer.
Even if they were snipers themselves, if someone peeked out, they would naturally try to keep an eye on him.
"Master, try to expose yourself a little to attract his attention."
Johnny said, planning to take a gamble.
John immediately understood what Johnny wanted. Before he could make a move, Ghost Wolf had already extended his gun barrel out a little.
This position was exactly the front 1/3 of the gun, fully extended, which was enough to attract the attention of the opposing shooter.
In fact, Ghost Wolf's action did attract the attention of the sniper on the high ground. He was already observing this area and knew that the opponent wouldn't expose themselves so easily, so he just needed to wait for his other companions to arrive.
Then, at that moment, he saw a gun barrel emerge from the right, followed by a section of the gun body.
"Hmph, little mice, I thought you could hold out!"
He laughed disdainfully. The gun then retracted, and immediately after, a gun barrel appeared on the right again, as if it was about to run out. He immediately adjusted his aim.
"What are these guys doing?"
The shooter was a bit confused, left and right, are you going to run left or right? Then he looked at the gap on the left. If they were to run, they should run there, right?
But the next second, the gun body retracted again.
He was not in a hurry and continued to observe, but then the gun body on the right pushed out again, this time staying out longer.
"Damn it, I have to teach you a lesson!"
He immediately adjusted his scope, aiming the crosshairs at the exposed gun of the opponent.
