53: Chapter 53 A Narrow Escape! If you like to play, I'll play with you!

That asshole!

Qin Feng cursed inwardly.

He had actually predicted that he would be washed down by the mudslide, and immediately changed his sniper position, re-locking onto this mountain stream!

A chill ran from Qin Feng's tailbone straight to his scalp.

What a terrifying opponent!

His tactical literacy and battlefield intuition were instantly raised to the peak.

This was not an evenly matched battle at all.

It was a game.

A one-sided game played by a top hunter against a slightly stronger prey.

Qin Feng did not doubt that the opponent could have precisely hit his head with that last shot.

But he didn't.

He was just warning, declaring.

Declaring that this area was his hunting ground, and Qin Feng was his only prey.

"All your actions are under my control."

"Your life and death are just in my thoughts."

A huge sense of humiliation and powerlessness surged into his heart.

Qin Feng gritted his teeth so hard that his gums bled.

He did not try to go ashore again, but immediately submerged his whole body in the water, exposing only half his head to breathe, and drifted downstream with the turbulent stream.

The water flow could provide him with an irregular movement trajectory, and the heavy rain could interfere with the opponent's line of sight.

This was his only chance of survival now.

"Pop!"

Another bullet hit a floating piece of wood not far in front of him, wood chips flying everywhere.

Qin Feng's heart sank.

The opponent was driving him.

Like a sheepdog driving a flock, using bullets to control his direction, forcing him to continue downstream along this one "path of survival."

Qin Feng could even imagine that on the distant cliff, the sniper was looking through the high-magnification scope, appreciatively watching all this, perhaps even with a cruel smile on his lips.

Can't go on like this!

If it continues, his physical strength and will will be worn away bit by bit.

Once the rain stops and the water slows down, he will become a complete living target!

Must break the situation!

Must break this damn situation before the rain stops!

Qin Feng's brain was running to the limit in the extreme environment.

He forced himself to calm down, no longer thinking about how strong the opponent was, no longer thinking about how miserable he was.

In his mind, only the environment, resources, and the only goal of survival remained.

Mountain stream, creek water, rock wall, heavy rain...

What does he have?

A paintball gun with no ammo, a military dagger, soaked clothes.

And... the physical foundation built by more than a month of military training, and the military knowledge and strategic awareness far beyond ordinary people accumulated from two lifetimes.

He began to use the water flow, his body making zig-zag swings, trying his best to make his movement trajectory more unpredictable.

He sometimes dived into the water, holding his breath to the limit before surfacing to breathe.

Sometimes he used the impact of the water to hide behind some protruding rocks to strive for a short respite.

"Pop! Pop! Pop!"

The bullets followed like shadows.

They always appeared when Qin Feng least expected them.

Sometimes when he had just finished breathing and his head hadn't completely sunk into the water.

Sometimes when he had just hidden behind a rock and thought he could breathe a sigh of relief.

Every bullet was like a heavy hammer, hitting his nerves hard.

The opponent was like an experienced animal trainer, constantly whipping him.

Making him fearful, exhausted, and on the verge of mental breakdown at all times.

Qin Feng's physical strength was fading rapidly, the cold creek water constantly taking away his body temperature, and the wounds on his body began to feel numb.

He knew he was reaching his limit.

Just then, he saw a corner appearing not far ahead.

At the corner, the water became more turbulent, forming a small waterfall, washing against the rocks below, splashing sky-high water mist.

That was the only place where he could completely get rid of the opponent's line of sight!

A chance!

But it could also be a trap!

Qin Feng was almost certain that the sniper would definitely focus all his attention on that corner.

As long as he showed his head, what awaited him would definitely be a fatal blow!

What to do?

Rushing over would be a gamble, betting that his speed could be faster than the opponent's bullet.

But Qin Feng knew he couldn't win.

At a distance of 800 meters, competing for speed with a sniper bullet is looking for death.

A plan quickly took shape in his mind.

A crazy plan with only one chance.

He took a deep breath and plunged his body into the bottom of the water.

Underwater, he took off his soaked camouflage top as fast as he could.

Then, he found a branch more than half a meter long that had been washed down from under a rock.

He tied the soaked top tightly to one end of the branch.

After doing all this, the oxygen in his body was exhausted, and his chest felt like it was going to explode.

But...

He didn't surface immediately.

Instead, he continued to swim underwater, struggling to approach the side rock wall of the corner.

He wanted to bet!

Bet that the opponent's attention would be attracted by the illusion he created!

Finally, after reaching the predetermined position, Qin Feng threw the branch with the clothes on it towards the center of the stream with all his might!

After doing this, he poked his head out of the water and greedily took a breath of air.

He saw the camouflage top bobbing in the turbulent water, like a struggling person, drifting towards that fatal corner.

It's coming!

Qin Feng's heart jumped to his throat.

Success or failure depends on this!

"Bang!"

A gunshot arrived as expected!

The bullet accurately hit the camouflage uniform rolling in the water.

The sniper took the bait!

Just at the moment the opponent fired, Qin Feng moved!

He didn't rush to the corner with the water flow, but turned sharply, using the last bit of his strength to pounce on the rock wall of the waterfall behind him!

It was covered with slippery moss, not a normal climbing route at all!

But since mastering primary rock climbing techniques, he could barely handle this kind of situation.

It was worth a gamble.

Better than being a living target here!

Soon, his fingers tightly gripped a crack in the rock wall, his nails instantly split from the force.

He didn't care about the blood flowing down with the rain.

Like a gecko, Qin Feng used his hands and feet, trying his best to climb up the slippery rock wall.

Finally, before his body was completely drained, he climbed onto a platform covered by dense bushes.

Succeeded!

He had completely disappeared from the sniper's line of sight!

At this moment, Qin Feng collapsed in the muddy water, his chest heaving violently, feeling the ecstasy of surviving and the exhaustion deep into his bones.

Although he escaped the sniping, all this was temporary.

Once the target is lost, the sniper will soon change positions.

There is not much time left for Qin Feng.

After panting a little and recovering some strength, Qin Feng raised his head, wiped the rain from his face, and secretly looked in the direction of the cliff.

In his cold eyes, the fire of counterattack ignited for the first time.

"Don't you like playing games? Fine. I'll play with you!"
