Chapter 290 Contest
Ten out of ten. Everyone was shocked.
Li Cha did not even use a night vision scope. He was just using an old Mosin-Nagant with a 4x scope and he hit all ten glass bottles. His skills were indeed really amazing.
Jose was very proud. He laughed out loud, “He's the best shooter in my team and the shooting coach in our organization! It wasn't easy for us to recruit him. We've spent a lot of gold on him.”
The people just smiled at what he said. As the host of the party, General Federo gave a few compliments. After all, the Strategy Committee was the strongest force among all of them, Federo wanted to make sure he was happy.
Mirta was standing behind her husband. She glanced at Zhou Qingfeng and slowly came closer, “Aren't you worried?”
“About what?” Zhou Qingfeng shrugged his shoulders. He was relaxed about the contest.
“It'd be embarrassing if you lose. I saw the way you looked at that nuclear battery. It's very important to you,” said Mirta. To be honest, Mirta favored Zhou Qingfeng; she wanted Zhou Qingfeng to win. However, based on the current situation, she must stay neutral.
“You're right, that nuclear battery is really, really important to me,” Zhou Qingfeng was smiling. Meanwhile, DogMeat wandered around Zhou Qingfeng. Nobody would know that Zhou Qingfeng and DogMeat were ready to kill to get the battery.
Mirta did not get what Zhou Qingfeng said. She thought Zhou Qingfeng looked scary. He looked like a beast wandering in the wild, ready to charge towards a prey at any time. She stopped asking and returned to her original position where she was standing behind her husband.
After Li Cha hit all ten glass bottles, his mates, who were standing behind him, gave him a warm applause. Even the soldiers from the Alliance around the shooting range were impressed by this thirty-year-old man. He was indeed very good.
It was Ellie's and Eileen's turn. Ellie lifted the night vision multifunctional scope and read out the estimated number, “Target ninety-one meters away, left crosswind five kilometers per hour, a quarter dense position to the left.”
Eileen repeated what Ellie said. Both of them wore noise-canceling headphones and they were using the standing-and-shooting method. Li Cha was actually impressed by their moves and actions.
“Hey, Li Cha, what do you think about these two little girls?”
“They're pretty good.”
“Pretty good? They're probably younger than your daughter, are you sure?”
“Their equipment is better than mine and obviously, they're professionally trained.”
“What can they do with good equipment? They're just two little girls, they can't win. You're the best shooter in the team and you have your good old sniper rifle too.”
“Uhh….”
After speaking to his mates, Li Cha looked at the Mosin-Nagant. It was from his great-grandfather. The barrel of the sniper has been changed twice and buttstock had been completely broken once. It was already a miracle that the sniper could still be used at the moment.
For a sniper, using a sniper which was older than a hundred years was not a thing to be proud of.
Bang! Eileen started shooting; one glass bottle shattered. The people around the shooting range were silent, the sound of glass breaking could be clearly heard. Following that, she continued to shoot and the sound of glass shattering went on. She was not as quick as Li Cha, but she was steady. After ten shots, ten glass bottles were gone.
When the last glass bottle broke, the people around exclaimed. They were worried about the two girls. Sisters, Ellie and Eileen were both tiny and cute. Also, they were under Mr. Victor Hugo, the soldiers from the Alliance liked them a lot.
On the stage, Jose was astonished when he saw how both sisters managed to strike the bottles. However, he was not going to admit that they were good. He turned to Zhou Qingfeng and laughed, “The two little girls got pretty lucky, huh? But, they were way too slow. Now, it's time to increase the difficulty. Increase the distance to three hundred yards.”
Jose thought Zhou Qingfeng would stop because of the difficulty. However, Zhou Qingfeng was obviously not going to give up. Jose started to worry. Even though sisters, Ellie and Eileen, were both very young, their performance was indeed impressive and gave Jose a lot of pressure.
Jose asked Mirta to set up a new shooting range and turned to his guard, “Tell Li Cha that if he doesn't win this time, he's gonna be f*cked.”
The difficulty increased; the tension in the atmosphere increased. When Li Cha heard the warning from Jose, he was distressed. On the other hand, sisters, Ellie and Eileen, were much calmer than him.
Three hundred yards; two hundred and seventy meters.
The glass bottles were barely visible at such a distance. The vision of the scope was smaller and the light from the campfire was dimmer. This time, it was not going to be easy for Li Cha anymore. He required more than one minute for each shot. However, it was still a full strike. After the shooting, his body was covered in sweat.
“Hahaha….” Jose laughed out loud. “Look, that's my best shooter in the team. Sharp and accurate, even though it was so dark. I bet that your two little girls can't do it!”
Li Cha's skills were nearly unmatched. The people around the shooting range started a discussion. Regardless of which side Li Cha was on, they had to admit that Li Cha was really good with that old sniper rifle.
“I think Li Cha is better than the Lone Wolf, Carlos. Mr. Hugo only took one shot.”
“So Li Cha or Mr. Hugo, who is better?”
“I think Li Cha would be better with the rifle. It's so dark and I couldn't even see anything. But he managed to hit the target that was more than two hundreds meters away. He's amazing.”
It was not just the Cubans who thought Li Cha was strong, Ellie and Eileen figured Li Cha was a tough enemy too. Ellie spoke to Eileen in a serious tone, “He's good.”
“You're right, he's indeed really good. But, we can't lose.” Eileen was actually motivated by the strong enemy. She said in a low voice, “Change ammo, change equipment.”
The professional sniper's equipment was out of the ordinary. As soon as Eileen spoke, Ellie grabbed a sealed package from her backpack and took out a box of 7.62mm full-power military main battle rifle bullets made in Finland.
It was not just the bullets, they replaced the normal infrared scope with an eightfold automatic calibration night vision scope. As it was very rare and expensive, it was not used very often.
Eileen's shooting got a lot easier with such an advanced scope. With the eightfold night vision scope, the vision was in full color and the scope was calibrated by laser. It could hit any spot as long as the users were good. Eileen started to shoot at the targets and it only took her one minute. The glass bottles were all gone.
Wow… Eileen was very pleased with the feeling she got from the shot. The people around the shooting range held their breaths as she shot. As soon as Ellie and Eileen shot all the targets, the people cheered once again.
Jose was speechless. At the moment, he tried to think of a way that would cause him less embarrassment. He remained silent. This time, Zhou Qingfeng came closer to him and said, “Your man shoots way too slow. Why don't we increase the distance? We'll continue with five hundred yards. What do you say?”
Jose was instantly embarrassed and ashamed.
