Inside Game

Luo Jun did not immediately observe potential locations for a camouflaged sniper, but instead looked for convenient escape routes for the sniper.

Every sniper has their own characteristics and habits. Although Luo Jun mostly carried out missions in urban areas, he had also studied jungle sniping and participated in sniping operations in Brazil.

So he had a certain understanding of jungle warfare.

When he had just found this sniping position, he had already found a few escape routes for himself, but he had not found a second or third sniping position for himself.

This habit was a characteristic of urban snipers. When carrying out missions in cities, often one sniping position was enough. If the target was successfully killed, they would immediately evacuate; if the kill was unsuccessful, they could only immediately retreat.

But at this time, it became Luo Jun's weakness.

An experienced jungle sniper would find at least three sniping points for themselves.

The reason was simple—the jungle was extremely easy to hide in, so when switching sniping points, the enemy would find it very difficult to detect, and might even think that there were multiple snipers in ambush.

Luo Jun observed and speculated the enemy's behavior with his own habits, imagining their mood after walking through the night, then finding a place to rest, and preparing for sniping after daybreak, as well as resolving various basic physiological needs.

"This guy came to the opposite mountain peak in the middle of the night, rested for six hours, then got up in the morning to prepare for battle. At this point, they should have eaten."

Luo Jun carefully observed the bushes and rocks on the opposite mountainside.

Any sniper in ambush would find a good escape route for themselves, so the sniping position they chose would either be behind a rock or lying on the back of a mountain ridge, rarely directly hiding on the mountainside.

Of course, this could not be ruled out either, because if there were many large trees nearby, a sniping position could be set up there.

Once the enemy discovered them, they could retreat under the cover of their companions and the large trees.

Therefore, Luo Jun's main observation points were those areas on the mountainside near the large trees and a large expanse of rocks.

As for the mountain ridge, Luo Jun did not need to consider it, because the people they were ambushing were walking through the valley, and the opposing mountain ridge was not pointed, so lying there simply could not see the location of the valley.

Nevertheless, Luo Jun discovered more than twenty such sniping points.

To gradually eliminate them required patience, or waiting for the enemy to expose a flaw.

They currently did not know that Luo Jun had already come to the opposite mountain peak, and still thought they had the upper hand, just waiting for the big fish Luo Jun to appear.

They only needed to worry that Luo Jun might also climb to their mountain and set up a sniping position, in which case he would definitely move into their vicinity.

Therefore, their attention was mainly focused on the surrounding area and the valley.

Usually, before a sniper fires the first shot, it is very difficult for them to be discovered by pure observation power, so Luo Jun spent half an hour without noticing any abnormalities. As time went on, he would also start to doubt whether his judgment was wrong.

It should be known that such a situation would not occur in urban sniping warfare.

In urban sniping warfare, he only needed to find intelligence on the target's activity, and he could wait for the target to appear, then take them down with one shot.

There would be absolutely no scenario where he had to search for the target.

Ordinarily, Luo Jun really would not have persevered. When he was in Brazil, he had encountered some very patient hunter friends, who told Luo Jun that in the jungle, you have to be like lions and tigers—those fierce beasts—you need to have patience as well as extraordinary insight.

Those fierce beasts often could not find food, and would often go hungry for five or six days, but even when they were so hungry, they would absolutely not lose their hunting patience.

Because the less patient they were, the less hope they had of catching their prey.

This was precisely what Luo Jun had learned from the hunters in Brazil, so he was transforming from an urban sniper into a jungle sniper.

The air temperature between the mountain peaks was high, which was beneficial for smooth ballistics and good shooting conditions.

However, in the jungle valley, there were more atmospheric dust and aerosol particles, and the scattering and absorption effects of visible light and infrared rays were greater, causing the effectiveness of the scope to decrease by twenty to fifty percent.

"Damn it, did I misjudge the situation?"

Luo Jun increasingly doubted whether he had misjudged the enemy's actions—perhaps the enemy had not actually dispatched snipers to hurry through the night!

If that were the case, then his current position could not see the route the mercenaries would pass through the valley.

He had come to this mountain in order to deal with potential snipers!

If there were no so-called potential snipers, he would miss the opportunity to keep up with the main mercenary force!

This would be extremely disadvantageous for his later sniping of the main mercenary force!

If there were no potential snipers, he should have been on the opposite mountain peak at this time!

Luo Jun's patience was gradually exhausted, not because he had lost the basic qualities of a sniper, but because the inner conflict caused by his misjudgment made him impatient.

This kind of patience was often a mistaken persistence.

It was like a tiger that had been ambushing for a few hours, only to find out that this was not the prey's den at all, or that the prey would not return, causing it to become extremely hungry and miss new hunting opportunities.

Just as Luo Jun was about to give up, there was finally movement on the screen.

Luo Jun widened his eyes, forcing himself to be fully alert. Staring through the scope for too long had caused mental fatigue, and Luo Jun was now somewhat tired.

"Indeed!"

Luo Jun was extremely excited, because he saw a figure walk behind a tree to urinate!

These mercenaries, accustomed to enjoying themselves, would never urinate in their own pants, or even in their own ambush position. And they had been ambushing on the mountain for so long that they had also lost patience.

That sniper could no longer hold it, and after urinating, returned to the position he had been in, lying with the observer.

It was only then that Luo Jun discovered that they were actually lying on a strip of rock only half a meter high. Like Luo Jun, they had processed the background very well, causing Luo Jun to completely overlook them.

Moreover, their gun barrels were already covered with plants and camouflage strips!

Even with a 12x magnification scope, Luo Jun would not have been able to discern them.

After discovering them, Luo Jun did not rush to open fire, but instead observed whether there were any other snipers.

Soon, Luo Jun saw two more snipers thirty meters below them.

"Good heavens, I almost fell for it. It seems their main force has not arrived yet, otherwise they would have retreated."

At this point, Luo Jun felt that all his waiting had not been in vain.

It was good that he had persisted. Next, how would he deal with these four snipers? Specifically speaking, there should be two, but Luo Jun could not kill all four of them in a short time. The observers were also excellent snipers—they could pick up a gun and fire!
