Chapter 81: Gunman

Cape Town is the first city established by white Europeans in South Africa. The mother city in the hearts of white South Africans has changed ownership several times over the past three hundred years. It has undergone the rule and colonization of European countries such as Holland, Britain, Germany and France. Located in Africa, it is full of diverse European colonial culture. "　Cape Town combines European and African cultural and natural landscape features, so Cape Town is ranked as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and it is also the most popular tourist city in South Africa.
Morningstar’s African department is located here, and the building is not very eye-catching from the outside. The three-letter abbreviation sum has been combined to become the notable standard of Morningstar, and the large map of Africa on the wall highlights the characteristics of Morningstar as a military company. Each area is marked with various colors, which is not a fixed map in the traditional sense, because many actually refer to the actual control area.
The actual control areas of various government forces, local armed forces and tribal armed forces are clear at a glance.
The person who received Zhao Jianfei and others was the head of the African department. Lin Rui wondered why it was not a black man who was in charge of African affairs, but a white man. However, he was relieved soon. As the earliest colony, this place was originally a gathering place for white people.
The person in charge is called Alberta. He looked pale and thin, without any expression on his face, which made his facial contours look unusually rigid. The blonde hair was neatly combed and pressed against the scalp. After identifying Lin Rui and others, Alberta calmly said, "You are the people mentioned by Silver Wolf? Well, as the head of this department, I should pick you up as usual. But let's be honest. Well, I really didn’t take care of it. Because I’m in a lot of trouble now, I’m almost exhausted."
"We are here to solve the trouble, but I don't know what kind of trouble you are facing?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Our company has employment contracts with many countries in Africa. Originally, we were mainly dealing with sporadic armed conflicts and helping to maintain the regional situation. The biggest thing was to crack down on small-scale regional armed forces. But the situation is very bad recently. Several bases were attacked. The opponent has a very high level of military literacy. It is by no means a guerrilla or other local armed forces, but an army elite with a long history of battle." Alberta sighed, "The attack tactics are also very well organized. of."
"You mean someone attacked the mercenaries of Morningstar?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"Yes, we have already attacked two bases, but the identities of the attackers have not been identified so far. I don't even know what type of armed they are and which faction they belong to. It is not even clear what they are for. To attack Morningstar." Alberta frowned.
"Does this happen often?" Zhao Jianfei frowned.
"No, under normal circumstances we only provide auxiliary support operations. Such small-scale regional conflicts are mainly done by our employers themselves. So although we are unlovable, we are by no means so hateful. The armed personnel in the region did not dare to provoke us.
Alberta explained. "It has never happened before. Someone deliberately attacked company personnel."
"How bad is the situation now?" Zhao Jianfei asked, he seemed to have read a bit of danger from Alberta's expression.
Alberta was silent for a while and said, "The two bases were attacked almost at the same time, in different areas, but only a dozen seconds apart, and there was no sign. So I have to suspect that this was carefully planned in advance. . And the loss was heavy. We lost nearly forty people in the two camps. This is only the combat personnel, plus the rest of the logistics and staff, even more than a hundred people."
"Such a big thing?" Zhao Jianfei said in surprise.
"Now you understand why I'm so burnt." Alberta sighed. "I'm trying to convince the company that this is a deliberate trick. The company's response is that they have no relevant information to support this claim. And I have a lot of things to do, so I can't entertain you."
"No problem, but we want to visit the base first." Zhao Jianfei said.
"Of course." Alberta said, "but we have to wait a little bit. Something like that has made the problem more complicated. We are checking the defense loopholes in the base, and we can't pass it yet. Because we don't know yet. There will be further attacks. I want to stay a while and I can take you there myself."
Zhao Jianfei has been with Morningstar for several years, and he is very familiar with Morningstar’s security defense mechanism. Morningstar is a very professional military security company. In the event of such a base attack, the company must go through detailed investigation and inspection of every security link. Therefore, it is reasonable for Alberta to take them there.
While Alberta and Zhao Jianfei were discussing further, Lin Rui stood by the window and suddenly caught a glimpse of a faint flash of light from a tall building in the distance. This is not the reflection of the glass window, because the angle of light reflection is wrong. Lin Rui's expression suddenly changed, and he took a step forward and pushed Alberta to the ground while pulling the thick curtains. At the same time, there was a soft sound, and there was a small hole in the window glass.
"What's going on!?" Zhao Jianfei said solemnly.
"At three o'clock, there is a sniper on the top of the building! It's a small-caliber sniper rifle." Lin Rui's eyes moved, and he shouted sharply, "Judging from the ballistic position, it is not the one I found! There is more than one sniper. The curtains are closed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was another shot. The bullet hit the wall, raising a white gray mist. Alberta squatted on the ground in a panic, Zhao Jianfei pressed Alberta's head and said in a low voice, "Don't move, judging from the shooting position, the opponent's target is you."
"But... how come..." Alberta said pale.
Zhao Jianfei quickly gestured to Irina, motioning her to the window, waiting for an opportunity to kill the opposing sniper.
As early as when Lin Rui issued a warning, Elena had already squatted down quickly and skillfully assembled the 12.7-caliber Barrett sniper rifle.
She nodded to Zhao Jianfei, slightly opened a small gap on the edge of the curtain, and slowly looked for the opposite target through the sniper scope. She is a very smart sniper herself, and she has considerable research on long-range sniping. From the bullet holes in the windows and the bullets inserted into the walls, she could roughly determine the opponent's location. As long as the opponent shows her figure, she has the confidence to complete an effective sniper within this distance.
