Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 584: My Guess



Mu Su's heart tensed up as well.

If Su Chen got it wrong and the captain got killed by the enemy sniper because of it, it would be as if she had caused the death of the captain.

However, the female warrior sprinted out for several meters.

The enemy sniper did not fire.

"Mu Su was right, the sniper is out of ammo!" A spark of understanding flashed in the female warrior's eyes. Ignoring the injury on her leg, she chased directly after the group.

The group also realized this and turned to run towards the dense forest.

Because of the recent retreat, they were now further away from the border line; without the sniper's support, crossing the border forcefully would be harder than reaching the heavens.

"How did you know he only had one bullet left?" Mu Su asked Su Chen, rather curious.

She had been gambling.

Gambling that Su Chen's judgment was correct.

Unexpectedly, her gamble had actually paid off.

Su Chen glanced over at the innocent young warrior and chuckled, "How did I know? Of course, it was a guess."

"A guess!" Mu Su's already large eyes now widened even further.

She had gambled the captain's life, even everyone's lives, only to find out Su Chen was just guessing!

Had the guess been wrong...

The consequences would be unimaginable.

Looking at Mu Su whose eyes were bulging out like saucers, Su Chen felt amused.

How can there be such an innocent soldier in the world.

To believe something like that.

Of course, he couldn't have been just guessing.

It was deduced based on the type of sniper rifle used by the enemy and the frequency of gunfire.

How many bullets does a sniper actually carry? Some say the more, the better, with at least 2000 shots, others believe around 200 shots is enough.

Yet, all these answers are wrong.

Under normal circumstances, a sniper only carries 5 bullets, and never more than 10!

Why so few bullets?

The reason is simple, first of all, the number of bullets carried during a mission and during training is different; it's impossible to carry too many bullets on the battlefield.

This is because bullets are generally made of brass or steel, and the weight of 1000 bullets is approximately 100 pounds.

Sniper bullets are even heavier.

Carrying that many bullets would be extremely heavy, not conducive for maneuvering, and it would also hinder the sniper from concealing himself.

Therefore, during a mission, the number of bullets must be just right.

Secondly, a sniper's task on the battlefield is not to kill as many as possible, but to take out the most appropriate target, usually high ranking commanders or intelligence officers.

And they must ensure a kill with one shot because once they miss, the target will be alerted and there will be no second chance.

Thus, many advanced snipers on a mission carry only one bullet to deliver a fatal blow at the crucial moment!

Lastly, the task of snipers is generally long-distance attacks, with very high precision requirements, so this also limits them to shoot one shot at a time; after each shot, they need to reconfirm the target's position, and there has never been a sniper on the battlefield who prevailed by rapid firing.

After all, snipers are different from those charging at the frontlines, the latter use assault rifles, while snipers only use a sniper rifle.

The task of this sniper was to cover the group as they breached the border.

Therefore, his task was not to kill enemies, so he did not need too many bullets.

If it were Su Chen, he would only need to carry at most four bullets.

He would also employ the tactic of fighting from behind cover.

The first bullet is to take down a soldier.

To let the enemy fully understand his sniping skill.

The second bullet is to take down the opposition's commander.

Which is the female warrior.

The third bullet is to prevent the commander from committing suicide with a gun.

The fourth bullet is for unexpected situations.

Four bullets, enough to end this mission.

And the amount of bullets carried by the opponent is clearly more than four.

But definitely no more than seven!

The reason for determining that the opponent only had one bullet was simple.

That is, at one moment, the opponent had the opportunity to assassinate the female warrior. Even if they couldn't assassinate her, they could at least incapacitate her.

The female warrior was clearly the core of this team.

As long as the female warrior was sniped, the rest of them would probably not even be able to handle the border crossers.

However, the opponent gave up that perfect opportunity to fire.

No shot was made.

This could only mean one thing.

That is, his ammunition was running low.

Very likely, only one or two bullets were left.

Then the warrior called Little Bull wanted to shoot himself.

The sniper fired again, breaking Little Bull's hand.

Su Chen had originally estimated that the sniper's gun had, at most, two bullets.

Now that another bullet was fired, naturally, there could only be one left.

Or even, it was possible that there were none left.

That's why he asked Mu Su to tell the female warrior.

As long as the sniper was out of bullets, with the female warrior's strength, she should be able to end the battle.

Indeed, with Su Chen's strength, he too could end the battle.

But his purpose was to infiltrate the Heavenly Rank Organization and rescue his instructor.

So, unless absolutely necessary, he did not want to expose his own strength.

For his instructor, he could only be selfish this once.

After all, the female warrior could also handle it.

"Charge! Avenge Little Bull!"

Hearing the female warrior say that the opponent's sniper was out of bullets, the warriors all charged out from cover and pursued that group.

Three of their comrades had been killed, and another had his hand shattered; this was an irreconcilable vendetta.

In the eyes of every Border Guard was a blazing rage.

Soon, the Border Guards charged into the dense forest.

The female warrior followed closely behind them.

However, a sense of foreboding suddenly emerged in her heart.

Because she realized a strange issue.

Those people, they only fled into the woods and didn't fire a single shot.

Not one shot was fired; this was illogical.

The female warrior seemed to realize something, her complexion changed drastically, and she shouted towards the Border Guards that had chased into the dense forest: "Quick, come back!"

Sadly, it was too late.

Right after the female warrior shouted, there was a deafening roar from the forest.

The sound of a landmine explosion.

The female warrior knelt to the ground with a thud.

She hated herself for realizing the crux of the issue too late.

Su Chen was also stunned; he hadn't expected that, aside from the sniper, they had also planted landmines.

"Commander, they..." Mu Su ran towards the female warrior, tears swirling in her eyes.

Even if she was naive, she knew what had happened.

The female warrior didn't answer Mu Su but struggled to stand up, tore a piece of cloth from her clothing, tied it around her wounded leg, and then said to Mu Su: "Mu Su, go back immediately and report the situation here!"

"And what about you, Commander?" Mu Su asked, holding back her grief.

"I will definitely retrieve the relics!" The female warrior answered, then hobbled towards the dense forest.
