Chapter 1268 Stop

On the vast ice field, the pack of dogs was running on all fours.

The hot air from their mouths formed a white smoke in the air, which was then blown away by the cold wind.

Olai saw Alessia make a hand gesture to him, telling him that he would reach the end of the journey in 40 minutes.

However, at that moment, Zhang Heng, who had been very quiet, suddenly reached out and patted him on the back. He even shouted in English, Stop!

Olai didnt stop immediately. He turned around to see what Zhang Heng was trying to do, but when he looked behind him, he realized that Zhang Heng had already disappeared.

Olai was shocked. He didnt expect Zhang Heng to be left on the road by him, or more accurately, the other party had jumped off the sleigh on his own accord.

The sleigh wasnt slow at all. It was about twenty-five kilometers per hour. If he jumped down like that, he might fall somewhere. Just as Olai pulled the reins.., just as he was about to stop the dogs, he heard a gunshot.

Olai subconsciously pulled his neck back. After confirming that he was fine, he quickly turned his gaze to Alicias sleigh. In the end, he saw that Alicia was also controlling the dogs to stop, she and song Jia were equally confused. Olai heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he turned his gaze to the other sleigh. He saw that the person sent by Alicias tribe to pick them up had fallen to the ground, they were already lying on the sleigh.

Then, he heard Songjia shouting, Get down, get down! Zhang Heng sent me a message saying that theres a sniper.

Olais heart was filled with fear. Before he could stop the dogs, he followed Zhang Hengs example and jumped down from the sleigh. He lay motionless on the ice field.

On the other side, Alicia and Songjia were slightly slower than him, but they quickly hid themselves. After about a minute and a half, Songjias phone vibrated again. She took out her phone from her pocket and glanced at it quickly before her face regained some color.

Zhang Heng said that the sniper has left. Hes in pursuit. He told us to wait on the spot.

Is he going to be okay? After all, the enemy has a gun.Alicia was still in shock. We can go back to the tribe first and find the hunters in the tribe to help us find the sniper.

Songjia also felt that this was safer, but when she sent a message to Zhang Heng, the latter did not reply.

Because they did not know what the situation on the other side was like, the three of them did not even dare to get up from the snow. If Zhang Heng was really no match for the sniper who ambushed them, the other party might come back to kill them, however, the three of them did not leave with the sleigh because they were afraid. They left Zhang Heng alone on the Ice Field.

Olai and Alicia Bent over to run to the third sleigh. In the end, they realized that the tribesman who had come to pick them up was no longer breathing. As for Sachus, who was behind him, he was safe and sound, furthermore, there was no expression of fear on his face. Instead, there was excitement in his eyes, as if he was happy to see death with his own eyes.

Although Alethea and Olai were displeased with Sartrusatt.i.tude, they still needed him to retrieve the relic, so they dragged him down from his seat and threw him on the snowy ground.

The three of them waited for about half an hour before they finally saw Zhang Heng walking over from not too far away with a rather small rifle in his hand.

Voere S16. This was a lightweight rifle produced by an Austrian company. Unlike the previous sniper rifles, which focused on range and lethality, this small rifle had a different approach and was extremely portable, it weighed only two kilograms, less than one-seventh of the weight of the previous XM109. In order to reduce its weight, the rifle was made of carbon fiber.

Of course, its shooting accuracy and destructive power were far inferior to the XM109, but it was enough for Zhang Heng. The most important thing was that it was light enough for him to pursue the target.

After Zhang Heng examined the dead Inuit who had been shot, Alicia asked impatiently.

How is it? Did you find the sniper who attacked us?Song Jia translated her question to Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng shook his head. No, he ran away. He seems to be very familiar with the terrain around here.

Olai and Alicia exchanged a look. Then, the Inuit teenager clenched his fists and squeezed out a name through gritted teeth. Hans!

Hans was the one who had been in charge of bringing the sacred relic from the tribe to Nuuk. He was also the one who had left behind a mark that only Alicia and Olai could understand. He had lured the two of them to the art museum, if not for Zhang Hengs timely appearance, Alethea and Olai would have been dead by now.

Olai then saw Zhang Heng Reach into his pocket and pull out a small knife. Seeing the knife, Alethea let out a cry of surprise, This is Hanss knife. He always carries it with him. Could it be that he really was the one who attacked us? Why? He even killed Uncle Luke. Luke has always been very kind to him and taught him how to fish.

Songjia said, Zhang Heng said that its best if you dont take the knife to heart. In fact, he didnt want to give it to you because he felt that it was left there on purpose.

On Purpose?Olais eyes widened, Then what about what happened at the museum? Could it be on purpose too? But there are very few people who know about the mark. Hans was lying in ambush here because he wanted to finish what he failed to do that night. He was afraid that we would tell Kunayu about all the good things he did.

Zhang Heng shook his head. His target isnt you guys, nor Songjia and me.As he spoke, he glanced at Sachus, who was sniffing snot. That guy named Luke must have been unlucky.

How do you know?Aliesia asked.

I saw a flash of light in the snow, and I figured that it was the lens of the aiming device reflecting the sunlight. Thats how I found the snipers position and the direction he was aiming at. His marksmans.h.i.+p isnt that good. When I examined Lukes body earlier, I found that the bullet was fired from the back. In other words, he waited for Lukes sleigh to pa.s.s in front of him before he started aiming this angle is actually more suitable for shooting at Sachus, who was sitting behind the sleigh, but I didnt expect to accidentally kill Luke in the end.

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, Alessia and Ole looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect Zhang Heng to a.n.a.lyze so many things from the trajectory alone, not to mention, they still did not know where the light rifle in Zhang Hengs hand had come from.
