Chapter 1069: Combat, Alert

Ye Jian was especially sensitive towards the iron smell of blood and the smell of chemicals in gunpowder. Even if only a faint wisp of abnormal smell floated over in the damp air, Ye Jian could detect it accurately.

After she hid, Ye Jian didn’t move immediately. She only started closing in carefully when she felt that she could move in the direction of the smell.

It wasn’t weird to smell blood in a rainforest. However, if there was the smell of gunpowder, you had to be careful. Especially since she was walking on the mountain ridge located at the boundaries of two countries. She met a group of escaped drug dealers yesterday so she needed to be extra careful.

During normal times, she would analyze the situation to see if there was a need for her to investigate the matter. But, this time, she must go and take a look.

Yesterday, Brother Hong said that he had reinforcements. He also wanted to kill the four bald men who helped him to escape. This proved that he did have reinforcements. Someone would help him to get rid of the four bald men.

There was only one small team of border guards chasing after him. If they really met Brother Hong’s reinforcements, she didn’t know the success rate of the border guards. She was worried about them so she needed to make sure that they were alright.

She walked to an area where the land was covered with bushes because of the shade. Ye Jian could faintly see a slanted pair of legs among the bushes.

After a battle, the bushes were filled with an aura of death. The surroundings were extremely quiet. Even the chirps of birds couldn’t be heard. It was dead silent.

Ye Jian hid among the bushes entirely as she slowly moved forward. When she got near the pair of legs. she glanced at them and heaved a sigh of relief. The deceased had a black tattoo on his neck that looked like a fireball. Just based on this point, this person was definitely not a border guard.

Ye Jian picked up a bullet among the tree ferns. It was a 5.8 mm bullet that was produced by their country. This bullet was used by a Type 87 rifle. This was the rifle the border guards used.

There were six bodies in this area. All of them had a tattoo that looked like a fireball on their necks. They were all killed by Type 87 assault rifles. Based on her observation, the fire exchange happened approximately three hours ago.

It was 8.40 am now. That meant that the fight happened around 5 am to 6 am. Taking into account the walking speed of the soldiers, they should be about 35 kilometers away from her at least. But, because of the current situation, they were probably only…

Ye Jian didn’t finish her thoughts. Birds got startled in the rainforest and soared into the sky.

A second ago, Ye Jian was still contemplating. The next second, she rushed back into the forest and moved towards the direction where the birds flew from.

It wasn’t raining today but the air in the forest was still humid. Ye Jian picked a high spot and climbed onto the trunk of the tree with her hands like a monkey. Using the tree leaves to hide her body, she saw a figure flashing among the bushes as he ran furiously.

She lifted her sniper rifle and set it to its highest accuracy. From her scope, she was able to see another figure chasing after the first man.

“Bang! Bang!” Two continuous shots were fired. The figure running in front fired two shots behind him to force his chaser to hide so that he would have more time to escape.

The person chasing was a border guard. As for the person who fired, Ye Jian saw the familiar fireball-shaped tattoo on the side of his neck. Without any hesitation, she aimed her barrel at this person’s right hand.

She didn’t need to close one eye when she was aiming. She just needed to calm her mind and focus on her scope and she would be able to snipe her target accurately.
