A Grand Graduation Ceremony

When choosing a sniping position, the primary principle for a sniper is their own safety, and the secondary principle is accurate range.

This shooting range depends on each person's ability; it's not like in the movies where people blindly pursue showing off their skills at extremely long distances.

After all, the most important thing in war and combat is to kill the target.

Therefore, when Li Changqing ordered the special operations team to choose the battle location, each sniper chose a position about 600 meters away from the long street.

This is the accurate firing range of a normal sniper.

Although the trajectory is affected by the world, there will still be some slight deviations, but it is not a big problem.

This is common sense and consensus among snipers.

However, at this moment, a sniper suddenly set up his sniping point 2,000 meters away from the battlefield, yet he was still able to accurately hit the target. Not only that, he was also able to eliminate the enemy sniper across a distance of 2,600 meters.

That's terrifying.

This is so contrary to common sense...

What they didn't know was that for Qing Chen, shooting distances beyond 400 meters made no difference.

All of it is within the range of absolute gun feel.

Moreover, Qing Chen used two precise shots to tell everyone that just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

One shot could be a coincidence.

But if both shots hit, then it was definitely not a coincidence.

Kamishiro Togo Qing Xing that he had always stayed in the shadows, wary of Li Changqing having other tricks up his sleeve.

Logically speaking, they had done very thorough preparations, so there was no reason for such an unexpected incident to occur.

At the opportune moment, during the power transition within the Li family, the entire 081 Garrison Brigade, which was stationed in City No. 18, was transferred to the Banshan Manor.

The terrain was advantageous; the battlefield matched Kamishiro Togo's expectations, and Li Changqing was indeed suppressed and unable to exert his full strength.

With the help of the insider, Li Changqing revealed almost all of Li Changqing plans.

It was a perfect plan, so why did something unexpected happen?!

"The sniper is still alive, take him out," Kamishiro Togo said coldly over the comms channel.

"Sir, we can't handle it," a sniper replied. "The remaining five of us are in different positions, but we're all at least 2,400 meters away from him. Under these circumstances, killing him is simply impossible."

"Then how was he able to do it!?" Kamishiro Togo, his voice filled with anger. He couldn't accept the feeling that his painstakingly planned scheme was about to fail.

It's like a mockery of his past thirty-one years of life.

"In the entire Federation, how many people can hit a target at a distance of 2,600 meters?" asked Kamishiro Togo.

"Sir, no more than three, and even if they have a record of hitting the target at 2600 meters, it's largely due to luck, and they had to fire at least three shots to hit it," a sniper replied.

Sniper rifles use special tracer rounds.

Even at dusk, a tracer round fired will shine like a branding iron as it flies toward its target.

The purpose of these tracer rounds is to provide snipers with a visible trajectory to correct the bullet's path.

This lets the sniper know how far they are from the target so they can make adjustments.

Therefore, as snipers say, if a shot hits the target in three or more attempts, the first few shots all require a process of correcting the trajectory.

But Qing Chen omitted this process.

Kamishiro Togo said, "This sniper didn't even correct the trajectory; both shots hit precisely. Who else in the Federation could do that?"

"No," the sniper hesitated for a moment before answering, "Sir, we really don't know anyone who could do that. None of us fired just now, so this sniper can't find us, and he's waiting too. If we fire now... we might die."

At this moment, in the battlefield of the long street, Li Changqing was entangled in a fierce battle with the seven experts.

With one less B-Class gene warrior, the battle formation changed significantly, and the defense was no longer as impenetrable as before.

Li Changqing also had significantly more room to maneuver and move around.

Li Changqing moved with the agility of a dragon amidst the crowd, soaring and tumbling.

Her movements, both slender and well-proportioned, were incredibly skillful and deadly, leaving viewers amazed.

However, she still couldn't determine which of the seven people was A-level, so she couldn't go all out and had to leave room for maneuver to save her life.

She needs time.

She needs more time to find the key point of the formation!

That will be the moment for a desperate counterattack!

Outside the battlefield, Kamishiro Togo stood in the shadows, looking at Li Changqing with a smile, and said, "Boss Changqing, you are indeed formidable. Even with my thorough preparations, you still have trump cards up your sleeve. May I ask where you found this sniper? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

Li Changqing did not speak, because she could not let her breathing become disordered.

Kamishiro Togo chuckled, "Boss Changqing's training method is truly orthodox. He can't speak during battle to avoid disrupting his Breathing Technique, right? I just want to know, where did you find someone whom other snipers regard as a god?"

In fact, Li Changqing didn't know either.

She also wanted to train top-notch snipers to specialize in assassinations.

Only those who have actually trained them can understand that such a person cannot be trained to achieve a 2600-meter range simply by using bullets; it requires unique talent.

You might not find one like that in a thousand people, or even in a hundred million.

Li Changqing had no idea why such a sniper would participate in the undercurrents of war between conglomerates.

For years, she has been dedicated to the war between spies, going to City No. 7, then City 1, and once the matter in City No. 1 was settled, she returned to City No. 18.

This woman seems to never have a proper rest; she constantly uses work to distract herself while also trying to cultivate herself.

Therefore, Li Changqing had no friends and didn't know who would come to her rescue at this time.

No, she has a friend.

Li Changqing silently thought, and that friend really did have an absolute feel for guns.

But...

Many people have an absolute feel for guns, but that friend was only effective at close range within 400 meters. She had even gone to watch the other person train with a sniper rifle, but it turned out that the other person had never used a sniper rifle before.

But for some reason, Li Changqing had a strong intuition that it must be that boy.

There would be no one else but him.

Even if the boy acted as if he had never touched a sniper rifle before, this can be acted out!

Just then, the sniper 2,000 meters away fired again.

The sniper, who held the reins of the battlefield all by himself, was very patient. He waited for an unknown amount of time before finally finding an opportunity.

But then a bullet streaked across the sky, striking a B-Class gene warrior next to Li Changqing with an elegant parabola.

Li Changqing was very close; she could even hear a loud bang—the sound of a massive bullet hitting a human body, the immense force piercing through the gene warrior's alloy bionic skin.

It must be said that Kamishiro Togo was very well prepared. Li Changqing clearly discovered that these B-Class gene warriors had alloy bionic skin implanted all over their bodies.

If Kamishiro wanted to create such an assassin, it would probably cost tens of millions!

The cost of implanting the device in all eight people is absolutely astronomical!

These are the most elite assassins within the Age of Gods!

However, no matter how tough the alloy bionic skin is, it cannot surpass the armor of a light infantry fighting vehicle.

Anti-material sniper rifles equipped with tungsten-core armor-piercing rounds are originally designed to engage infantry fighting vehicles!

In particular, the "Conquer by Virtue" technique is even more terrifying than ordinary anti-materiel sniper rifles.

In an instant, Li Changqing had only six gene warriors left, and the pressure eased again.

She began to plan her counterattack.

Old Nine was already seriously injured and unconscious, Xiao Ying had no ability to participate in the battle at all.

But in that instant, Li Changqing suddenly stopped deliberately avoiding the trajectory of the bullets.

Even though the Kamishiro Family had five snipers lurking in the shadows, she felt no fear.

Even though she was fighting alone with six others in the long street, she didn't feel lonely.

It was a kind of inexplicable trust; she believed that this friend, who was 2,000 meters away, would not let her down.

Kamishiro Togo frowned as time ticked by, his plan slowly crumbling.

If this continues, not only will Li Changqing's astonishing combat power gradually come into play, but by the time the 081 Garrison Brigade realizes what's happening, they will all perish here.

"Take out that sniper, eliminate him at all costs," Kamishiro Togo said in the comms. "You always boast about your marksmanship, right? There are five of you, and he's only one. It'll take him time to kill all of you, which gives you a chance to correct your shots!"

"Sir, we have four 7.62mm sniper rifles, but Kamishiro Nagakawa has a 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle. The 7.62mm sniper rifle is 2,400 meters away from him. Unless it hits his eye, it's impossible to kill him," one of the snipers said.

"What caliber are they using?" Kamishiro Togo asked.

"It sounds very similar to a 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle, but the sound is quite different. Sir, a regular anti-materiel sniper rifle might be able to wound a B-Class expert covered in alloy bionic skin at 2,000 meters, but it would definitely not be able to cause a penetrating wound. The kinetic energy should start to decay rapidly at 1,600 meters."

But the enemy's sniper rifle was different. That shot clearly pierced through the B-Class gene warrior. That means that the armor-piercing bullet actually pierced through two layers of alloy bionic skin from two thousand meters away.

This isn't a sniper rifle, it's clearly an anti-material sniper cannon!

Kamishiro Togo asked, "Kamishiro Nagakawa, what's your longest shooting record?"

After a moment's hesitation, Kamishiro Nagakawa replied, "1721 meters, four shots to correct the trajectory, the fifth shot hit."

Kamishiro Togo said coldly, "Now is the time for you to break through your limitations and dedicate yourself to the family."

Kamishiro Nagakawa replied, "Understood."

"The other four will provide continuous covering fire," Kamishiro Togo said coldly, "Buying time for Kamishiro Nagakawa, time to correct his trajectory, and then kill him!"

The snipers fell silent. The so-called continuous cover fire meant that they were to remain motionless and serve as targets for that sniper, using their lives to buy time for Kamishiro Nagakawa to correct his trajectory.

But they are soldiers, and obeying orders is their duty.

Therefore, even knowing that it is suicide, it must be carried out.

At that moment, they knew very well that Kamishiro Togo might not be pinning his hopes on them, since even a fool would know that they had no chance of hitting him.

Kamishiro Nagakawa can hit the target, that would be ideal. But even if he misses, they might not necessarily be completely defeated.

Because as soon as they fire, the snipers' attention will be diverted to them, which buys time for the experts who surround and kill Li Changqing in the long street.

Ten seconds.

Kamishiro Togo needs are these snipers to buy him ten seconds!

At that time, the A-level experts hidden in the crowd will be able to focus on their full strength without any distractions.

Kamishiro Togo didn't want to wait any longer.

This time, many snipers will die.

Kamishiro Togo calmly said over the communication channel, "The clan will remember your achievements, and your names will be added to the stone tablet in the shrine. Suicidal Attack."

The Suicidal Attack (honorable death) was the final mobilization of the Kamishiro Family before launching a suicide attack.

From that moment on, every sniper was prepared to die.

At this moment, Qing Chen lay calmly on the rooftop terrace of the 121st floor of the Jinmao Building. His eyes had left the scope, searching the vast field of vision for the remaining snipers of the Kamishiro Family.

The next second, flames suddenly burst forth on the 130th floor of the Chunlei Building in the distance.

That was a sniper rifle that wasn't equipped with a flash suppressor firing.

The 129th and 121st floors of the neighboring Changlin Building also have them.

Almost simultaneously, the remaining four snipers of the Kamishiro Family opened fire, firing rapidly, pulling the trigger one shot after another.

The glass facades of the Jinmao Building shattered one after another, making a crisp sound in the night.

In the chaos, Kamishiro Nagakawa pulled the trigger.

He actually used tracer bullets directly. The red-hot bullets shot straight and obliquely into the night sky, and then fell in a parabola three meters to Qing Chen's left.

"Three meters, the margin of error is only three meters," a sniper said over the comms. "No need for four shots to adjust; I feel Major Nagakawa can hit him with two more shots at most!"

For a sniper, a shooting distance of 2000 meters with an error of 3 meters is already very small.

At that moment, a sniper looked at the Jinmao Building through his optical scope.

He felt that the sharpshooter hadn't moved an inch, as if he wasn't worried about their shots at all.

A sense of inferiority suddenly rose in the snipers' hearts; they couldn't even make that sharpshooter feel the slightest bit worried!

It was as if they didn't deserve to be seen as equal opponents by the other.

Qing Chen expressionlessly shifted his gaze back to the scope, and with only a slight movement of his body as he breathed, he decisively pulled the trigger.

The instant the enemy opened fire, he memorized the position of every sniper.

One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots!

Without the slightest pause.

Every muscle in Qing Chen's body serves his will.

He didn't need to deliberately calculate the trajectory; all the tedious practice and effort in that mysterious world transformed into the predetermined outcome on the battlefield and the fate of five people in that instant.

This is time's answer to him.

Qing Chen graduated from the mysterious world of "Conquer by Virtue" a few days ago.

However, he has always lacked a grand and dazzling graduation ceremony.

No classmates cheered for him, and no principal placed a graduation cap on his head.

Qing Chen doesn't need it either.

A sniper's graduation ceremony is destined to be lonely, ruthless, and resolute.

All he needs to do is stay offstage, learn to enjoy the moment, and then wait for the bullet to travel through time and space, ending his fate.

Other people's fate.

The first shot from Kamishiro Nagakawa was only three meters away from Qing Chen.

But these three meters.

It was a gap he could never bridge in his entire life.

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have only been a moment.

In Qing Chen's field of vision, five bullets pierced through the scopes of five snipers in succession, spanning a distance of over 2,300 meters, and accurately struck their heads.

"Hoo," Qing Chen exhaled a breath of stale air.

Only at this point can a sniper be considered to have truly graduated.

Once his sniper fired, Kamishiro Togo prepared to signal the A-rank expert, ready to end the battle quickly at a greater cost.

It was only a matter of sacrificing three or four B-Class experts to save Li Changqing's life. Although B-Class experts were scarce, they were worth the sacrifice.

Within the Federation, the B-Class is considered the dividing line among extraordinary individuals.

Products below B-Class can be mass-produced using gene-based pharmaceutical production lines. Although the quantity is small, new ones will always be created.

To To Kamishiro Togo's surprise, the battle between the snipers had already ended before he could pass on his instructions.

They were all dead; all the snipers were shot in the head almost simultaneously.

The same goes for Kamishiro Nagakawa!

This sharpshooter from the Kamishiro Family died under mysterious circumstances!

Kamishiro Togo thought these snipers would buy him enough time, but they ended up buying him nothing.

Are these really real snipers in the world?

Without thinking, he pulled the trigger and hit all five targets?

This was a complete and utter defeat due to the disparity in strength!

No one knew that Qing Chen had specifically chosen the Jinmao Building, because any sniper who wanted to take him down would have to cross a distance of at least 2,300 meters.

Choosing this sniping spot is like bullying someone.

When an adult fights with a child, the adult grabs the child's face, but the child's arms are too short to even reach the adult's body.

This metaphor perfectly describes the battle between snipers.

Within 2600 meters, any distance is the same for Qing Chen, but for other snipers, 2300 meters is an insurmountable chasm.

Within the long street, the sound of five gunshots still echoed in the sky, and Li Changqing's lips curled up slightly.

The gunshots that sounded like a horrifying blow to the enemy sounded to her like distant yet warm greetings.

Taking advantage of the moment when the gene warriors were distracted, Li Changqing suddenly made her move. A small jade-colored sword arrow flew out from her sleeve and blinded a B-Class gene warrior in the blink of an eye.

Standing in the shadows of the long street Kamishiro Togo was utterly astonished. "You, a member of the Li Corporation, are also a director of the Hu Corporation Intelligence Agency! You've already begun nurturing sword arrows!"

Li Changqing had been keeping this trump card hidden for a long time, waiting for the most crucial moment.

The sword arrow is currently in its initial stages and cannot yet penetrate the enemy's alloy bionic skin. If the sword arrow is shattered, she herself will suffer a severe backlash.

Originally, Li Changqing thought she wouldn't need the sword arrow anymore, but unexpectedly, Qing Chen created an opportunity for her to make a comeback!

There's a 5,000-word chapter, and another chapter will be released at 11 PM tonight.
