590: Rescue (Part 1)

Central Intelligence Agency Agent Jason Born said, "He can't run anymore. Gress's gun Isher already aimed there. The moment he shows his face, he's dead for sure."

Gress said over the radio channel, "Don't worry, I won't kill him, but he'll definitely lose a leg."

The driver Fuan stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking at the computer screen, and said, "This isn't another diversion, Isher it?"

"This kid's ability... Isher extraordinary."

...

Bang!

The agents operating in the apartment building kicked open the wooden door.

They rushed into the room quickly and orderly with their guns raised, immediately occupying every corner of the room.

They shouted, "Don't move!" but found nothing.

"Sir, the kid isn't here."

Hearing this, Jason Born picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Search carefully. We're watching the perimeter; there's no way he could have run."

Agent Is Hunter, looking at the footage on the computer screen, also frowned tightly.

His heart was filled with surprise, but he wasn't panicked.

He was certain that Zhang Qi could not have left under such a siege!

"Gress, do you see him?"

The sniper Gress immediately replied, "No, the window has remained closed."

Hearing this, Is Hunter's frown deepened.

But suddenly, he gasped.

Agent Isher stopped looking at the computer screen and looked up towards the apartment building.

With this look, he immediately realized what had happened.

"Damn it! You're on the seventh floor!"

"The attic Isher the eighth floor!"

"What are you doing!?"

Hearing this sound, the agent in charge of the command immediately walked out of the room and first looked at the floor number.

Although he saw that it was indeed "8", he subconsciously reached out and tapped the wall.

Thump, thump, thump...

Such muffled sounds came through.

All the agents' expressions were filled with surprise, and then they pushed open the plastic board, which was disguised to be extremely similar and even painted with a layer of white paint!

Beyond this was a hidden space, with an entire flight of stairs leading to the attic!

It was this kind of diversion!

Everyone had actually been tricked by such a simple trick!

But no one expected Zhang Qi to use this method!

This was a blind spot in thinking!

Isher and Born had mentioned this when they were discussing it earlier.

Zhang Qi's control over people's minds had reached a terrifying level!

He knew that people would have limitations in their thinking and would be misled by obvious signs.

Because in their minds...

Something like a wall appearing out of nowhere was simply impossible!

But it was this subconscious impossibility that provided Zhang Qi with nearly five minutes of action time!

At this moment, on the stairs leading to the attic, the agents saw clothes and pants scattered on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Is Hunter immediately realized something. He picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "He might have mixed in with our people!"

"Find him!"

His brain was working incredibly fast at this moment.

Since Gress said he never left the room, it meant he must still be inside the building!

There were so many clothes here now; these were definitely what Zhang Qi had just changed out of!

He used this diversion to buy time, wanting to blend into the crowd and leave quietly?

Agent Is Hunter sneered. Although he had also used such methods many times to escape danger, how could he let this kind of diversion succeed in front of him!?

"You're finished..."

"Zhang Qi, there's no turning back."

"I'd like to see what chance you have left to escape?"

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a sound from the walkie-talkie.

"He might be mixed among our people!"

"Check each other! The suspect Zhang Qi Isher very likely among our own people!"

However, at this moment...

"Ah!"

A sudden cry of pain reached Is Hunter's headset.

This was Gress's voice!

At this instant, Is Hunter and Jason Born exchanged glances; they both saw disbelief in each other's eyes!

What happened!?

Is Hunter heard the sniper Gress's cry of pain from the radio channel and rushed out the door without hesitation.

After rushing outside the shop, he stopped abruptly, gritted his teeth, and asked urgently over the walkie-talkie, "Gress, how are you doing?"

Gress's voice quickly came back, tinged with pain: "I'm fine... but my eyes are a bit..."

"Damn it!" Isher couldn't help but curse.

Meanwhile, Central Intelligence Agency Agent Born also rushed out. He had also heard Gress's words. The two quickly exchanged glances and, without needing to say more, immediately split up.

Isher headed straight for the apartment building, while Born sprinted along the road. Their targets were both locked onto Zhang Qi, who was sprinting across the rooftop.

Hacker Bangi was a bit flustered. This sudden turn of events made him dizzy. He quickly stopped Fuan, who was about to leave, and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Fuan, while getting his keys and putting on his clothes, quickly explained to Bangi: "Zhang Qi used the method they mentioned earlier to buy time, just to wait for this moment. He used the sun's rays and reflection to shine on Gress, and then escaped from the rooftop!"

Bangi was stunned upon hearing this and said in surprise, "He can do that! Did he even calculate the time?"

However, before he could finish marveling, Fuan had already rushed out the door, driving his Audi and turning around on the road almost with a drift, rushing out with the roar of the engine and the friction of the tires on the asphalt turning into a cloud of dust.

Immediately after, Fuan's voice sounded on the radio: "Bangi! Drone! Confirm his location and send it to me!"

"He's not getting away today!"

Hearing Fuan's words, Bangi immediately took action. The drone was already ready. He quickly confirmed the figure of Zhang Qi sprinting on the rooftop and began reporting Zhang Qi's location on the radio.

At this moment, Isher had reached the rooftop. He squeezed through a group of agents and leaned out the window, seeing Zhang Qi sprinting away.

"Confirm location!" he shouted loudly. "I'm chasing him on the rooftop. Fuan, prepare to intercept! Born Isher chasing him at the bottom of the building. Today Isher an excellent opportunity; we must catch him!"

Meanwhile, the voice of Central Intelligence Agency Agent Jason Born also came through. He anxiously inquired about Gress's condition and instructed him to break Zhang Qi's leg if anything was amiss.

Gress's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. He knew that what just happened was definitely not just a simple reflection of sunlight; it was absolutely caused by a laser pointer that the other party had prepared long ago. He still felt something strange in his heart, but he couldn't worry about that much at the moment.

He picked up his sniper rifle and sprinted through the floors. Although he was carrying a sniper rifle, his speed was not slow at all.

On the other side, there were also gasps of surprise coming from downstairs.

The Audi accelerating through the traffic flow was already astonishing, but the sight of a man sprinting through the crowd next was even more terrifying to people.

Among Central Intelligence Agency agents, Jason Born's obstacle course training scores were among the best.

He was like a person in a no-man's-land, his speed not decreasing in the slightest.

"Entering sniper range!"

Meanwhile, Gress on the rooftop also stopped. He squatted down. On the pyramid-shaped roof, he couldn't get a stable rest for his rifle.

He was using the most basic shooting stance, which undoubtedly maximized the error for long-range sniping.

However, at this moment, Gress's breathing seemed to stop completely.

His scope immediately locked onto Zhang Qi's figure.

"Distance 590 yards, moving away..." He calmly reported various data. "Wind direction three-quarters, correct two left. Entering open ground at 700 yards. Ready..."

Bang! The huge sound of the sniper rifle suddenly echoed through the building area, causing people's hearts to panic.

No one knew where the shot came from, and even less did anyone know who the gun was aimed at.

For a moment, the entire block where the gunshot could be heard fell into chaos.

However, the bullet's speed was faster than sound.

When people heard the gunshot, the bullet had actually already reached its intended location.

"Did you hit him?" The driver Fuan's voice sounded on the radio.

However, Gress did not answer. The one who answered him was Agent Isher, who was chasing closely behind Zhang Qi: "Missed! The iron frame above that kid's head saved his life! Gress! Take another shot!"

However, Gress was already preparing for the next shot without Isher needing to instruct him.

His shooting range was within a mile. No matter how Zhang Qi ran, it would be difficult for him to escape his pursuit.

Especially in this kind of place, where he had no cover.

Zhang Qi couldn't stop; he had to maintain maximum speed, but this kind of running meant his luck couldn't be this good a second time.

Click! The sound of the bolt being pulled back came. A brass-colored bullet slid out of the chamber, and a new bullet entered the chamber.

"Other conditions haven't changed, distance Isher 740 yards," Gress reported calmly. "Before he crosses that open ground Isher the best shooting opportunity! Bullet flight time Isher approximately three seconds..."

He took a deep breath and then pulled the trigger again!

Bang! He knew Zhang Qi would die from this shot! He had calculated all the conditions! However, the moment he pulled the trigger, his eyes widened!

The moment Gress pulled the trigger, his eyes were wide with shock. Unfortunately, it was too late to adjust the muzzle.

"Fuck..." he muttered to himself. In his thirty years as a sniper, he had never encountered such an opponent.

Not only was Gress shocked, but Isher, who was sprinting on the rooftop, also felt a thrill of horror.

He saw Zhang Qi suddenly stop, turn around, and sneer.

The calmness and intelligence in his eyes made Isher's heart skip a beat.

Bangi, watching all this in front of the computer screen, was also full of shock. He witnessed the entire process and was filled with questions: "Who exactly Isher he? Can he predict the future?"

When the bullet pierced the concrete ground behind Zhang Qi, Zhang Qi turned around again and continued running. This scene was unbelievable to them; they simply couldn't imagine how it happened.

The driver Fuan was still driving at high speed. He heard the gunshot and Gress's startled cry but didn't know what was happening. He anxiously asked, "Damn it, what's going on? What happened?"

At this moment, Gress had recovered from the shock and was preparing to continue shooting.

Isher couldn't respond while sprinting, only Bangi spoke up to explain: "He seemed to predict the bullet was going to hit him. Zhang Qi suddenly stopped!"

Fuan's face also filled with surprise upon hearing this explanation: "Stopped!? How Isher that possible!?"

Meanwhile, the voice of Central Intelligence Agency Agent Born came through: "It's okay, he can't run much longer! Don't be distracted. He can't possibly keep running like this forever! Gress, how many shots do you have left?"

Gress was silent for a moment, then said, "No chance, I have to move to another sniper point." After saying that, he immediately picked up his rifle and searched everywhere for other sniper points.

Isher's voice also came through: "It's okay, Born Isher right. He can't keep running through such complex and dense building floors. It's not the sniper point that has no chance, it's Zhang Qi. We also have drone assistance. In terms of physical strength, I don't believe we won't have an advantage... He will definitely be arrested."

Bangi continued, "That's right, he can run at most another eight hundred meters before this block ends. Unless he can fly, he can't escape to another block. I've planned the route. No matter which way he chooses at the intersection, we will definitely catch him!"

A screech of brakes came, and Fuan's voice sounded again: "I've blocked off the intersection. The moment he shows up, I'll shoot immediately."

Isher's voice was even more decisive: "That's right, he has nowhere to run!" Although he said this, his eyes became sharper. He realized that the other party was gradually increasing the distance between them and was even accelerating!

Isher understood that his speed hadn't decreased, which meant the other party's speed was still higher than his. The scenery in front of him was flying backward frantically, and the wind whistled in his ears. Occasionally, he would collide with objects on the rooftop due to the overly violent movements.

If he hadn't been certain that Zhang Qi would be caught today, he would even have worried about whether he had enough ability to subdue him after catching up.

However, at the moment, although the distance was slowly widening, Isher did not feel anxious.

This wasn't a race; he just needed to make sure he wasn't shaken off by Zhang Qi.

Bang! Isher suddenly crashed into the rooftop door panel because he was moving too fast to stop.

The impact was so strong that it even made him feel a surge of nausea. But he shook his head violently and chased after him again.

"Damn it! Doesn't he ever bump into things!" In this kind of sprint, a mere few hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye.

"He's reached the end!" Bangi's voice sounded on the radio channel. "Fuan! Born! Get ready!"

At this moment, Born reached the street intersection almost simultaneously with Zhang Qi, and Fuan formed a blockade against Zhang Qi on the other side of the intersection.

Behind Zhang Qi, there was the pursuit of Isher and the drone. In this situation, Zhang Qi was in a dead end!

Moreover, he had no time to stall, because the sniper Gress was running towards a new sniper point.

Once he stalled using cover or took a hostage, Gress was confident he could blow his head off with one shot!
