Chapter 52 There Really Is a Sniper
Guishan TV Tower can be regarded as a landmark building in Jiangcheng. It is nearly 300 meters high and faces the Yellow Crane Tower across the river. It is a popular tourist attraction.

A few years ago, if you wanted to have a meal in the revolving restaurant on top of the tower, you had to make a reservation several months in advance.

However, the TV tower is now closed for maintenance and tourists are not allowed to enter.

Huang Ping looked at the Guishan TV Tower for a while and shook his head:
"Don't worry about it. Not to mention it's closed, even if someone goes in, it won't pose any threat to the bridge."

"What if there is a sniper lurking in?" Chen Rong asked again.

"The straight-line distance from the top of the tower to the bridge is nearly 2000 meters. Even if there were snipers, they couldn't hit that far, not to mention that the target was a moving train."

Huang Ping patiently explained.

"This is not difficult. The class deputy can do it easily." Chen Rong said in a low voice.

Zuo Meng thought Chen Rong was talking about him and was stunned for a moment.

Huang Ping understood and asked, "The deputy squad leader you are talking about is Lu Senbao?"

Chen Rong nodded.

"Do you think everyone is him?" Huang Ping was somewhat speechless. "He can cross the border and kill a target from a distance of 3000 meters. How many people in this world can do that?"

From what Huang Ping meant, Chen Rong realized that it was almost impossible to accurately snipe the special train on the bridge from the TV tower.

He didn't know if he could do it, but he knew that Huang Ping was exaggerating a bit, because the original owner of the TAC-50 should be able to do it.

But he didn't say this.

Huang Ping thought about it and picked up the radio to report what Chen Rong had said to Xu Ke.

This is a mature squadron commander who will not let his personal judgment affect the normal process.

Xu Ke's voice soon came from the radio station, and he did not blame Huang Ping for making a fuss:
"The special police have already checked the TV tower, and drones have also conducted reconnaissance on the top of the tower. The situation is normal."

"understand!"

Huang Ping glanced at Chen Rong. He only knew that the other party was good at fighting and 400-meter obstacle course, but he didn't expect that the other party had high tactical skills as well. No wonder the captain specifically asked to take care of him.

A group of people set up a cordon around the pavilion, and any tourists who occasionally turned here were immediately persuaded to go back.

Time passed by minute by minute, the sky was getting dark, and the lights of various buildings on both sides of the Yangtze River lit up.

The night view of the bridge is already very famous, and many tourists choose to come here at night to take photos on the bridge or the river beach. On the contrary, there are not many people on Guishan Mountain at night.

"If you're hungry, take turns going to the pavilion to eat something and take a rest."

Huang Ping spoke up when he saw that Guishan Park was closed.

Zuo Meng waved to Chen Rong: "Let's go, let's take a rest first, and then someone else will take over."

"Yes!"

Chen Rong and Zuo Meng came to the pavilion and sat down, took out the compressed biscuits and started eating them with water from the kettle.

At this time, the giant rotating billboard on the TV tower also lit up, and it looked quite beautiful.

"Deputy class leader, there seems to be a small platform on the top of the TV tower. What is it for?" Chen Rong asked after swallowing a mouthful of biscuit with difficulty.

Zuo Meng looked up and said, "Oh, you mean the lookout tower? In the early years, there were firefighters on duty there, responsible for observing the fire situation in the entire Jiangcheng City, but now this position has been cancelled."

Chen Rong was a little curious: "How did the firefighters get up there? The pole at the top of the tower is so thin, did they just climb up?"

“Take the elevator to the revolving restaurant, and then climb up via the ladder.” Zuo Meng explained, “But the ladder has been removed now.”

After eating the cookies, the two returned to their respective seats and replaced the others.

At around 7:30 in the evening, it was completely dark.

The voice of the team leader Xu Ke came from the intercom: "There is only half an hour left, everyone cheer up!"

Class 1 was located in the woods halfway up Guishan Mountain. After dark, everything around us was pitch black and visibility was very low.

Chen Rong thought about it, called up the panel and selected "Seeing Through Fire", gave the command to activate the skill, and began to look around.

The lights on both sides of the Yangtze River were bright, and in the distance there were even several high-altitude spotlights sweeping back and forth on the river. The Yellow Crane Tower and the Yangtze River Bridge were also all brightly lit, reflecting the river in a colorful way.

Chen Rong shifted his sight to Guishan Mountain, where only the TV tower on the top of the mountain had lights on.

Maybe the light on the other side was too mottled, he felt a little dizzy, and just now he even felt a flash on the top of the tower in the distance.

Chen Rong rubbed his eyes and was about to lower his gaze when he felt the light on the top of the tower flicker again from the corner of his eye.

"It's not an illusion!" Chen Rong's heart skipped a beat.

There were two consecutive slight changes in light at the top of the tower. In this night filled with all kinds of light sources, no one else would have been able to notice it.

But Chen Rong is now in a state of seeing things clearly, and can detect even the slightest abnormality.

He immediately realized that it was not his illusion, and quickly looked towards the top of the tower.

A tiny black dot was slowly moving upwards along the thin pole at the top of the tower. There were many light bulbs dotted on the thin pole. Every time the black dot passed through a bulb, the surrounding light dimmed slightly, and the light returned to normal after the black dot passed through the bulb.

This is why Chen Rong felt that there was a slight flickering of light there.

"Report, there is someone on the top of the tower!"

Chen Rong immediately reported.

Everyone immediately looked up.

"Where?" Huang Ping looked for a while and found nothing.

Chen Rong: "The thin pole at the top is climbing up!"

Zuo Meng blinked hard: "It's so far away. Why can't I see anything?"

"We have climbed to the top of the abandoned watchtower!" Chen Rong continued.

"Who brought the telescope?" Huang Ping asked immediately.

The crowd shook their heads.

Huang Ping looked around and pointed at Liu Yu: "Give me your gun!"

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and quickly ran over to hand the gun to Huang Ping.

His gun is a 191 precision rifle with a scope on the rail.

Huang Ping raised his gun and aimed at the small observation platform on top of the TV tower. After looking for a while, he asked in confusion, "Why is there nothing there?"

"Captain, that person went around behind the pillar!" Chen Rong, who had been staring at the top, immediately replied.

Huang Ping put down his gun and looked at Chen Rong: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong just now?"

Chen Rong affirmed: "No!"

"it is good!"

Huang Ping picked up the radio and started calling: "Dongyao Dongyao, Squad 1 discovered that someone had just climbed to the top observation deck of the Guishan TV Tower!"

Xu Ke's voice immediately rang out: "Who discovered it? When?"

Huang Ping immediately handed the intercom to Chen Rong, and Chen Rong pressed the talk button:
"Captain, I'm Chen Rong. I found it just a minute ago."

"Roger that!"

Xu Ke responded, and then there was no movement.

"Look, a drone!" Zuo Meng suddenly pointed to the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw that one of the drones that was originally hovering above the bridge suddenly flew towards the top of the TV tower.

The drone was moving very fast and it approached the top of the tower in just over ten seconds.

The next moment, the drone suddenly plummeted down!
"There are people on the top of the tower! Huang Ping, you guys go up! All personnel switch to the full-microphone channel and maintain full-time communication!" Xu Ke ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

Huang Ping and Zuo Meng immediately switched the radio channel.

"Squad three, squad nine, leave two people here, and the rest will meet at the top of the mountain!"

"Roger that!"

Huang Ping waved his hand: "Everyone follow me!"

Everyone immediately rushed to the top of the mountain.

Soon, Li Guohua and Guo Lin appeared under a platform on the top of the mountain with their men.

This is a shortcut to the mountain. The platform is more than three meters high. Once you get on the platform you will reach the park’s highway. There are sightseeing buses prepared in advance parked on the roadside.

“Collaborative climbing!”

Huang Ping shouted, and Li Guohua and Guo Lin immediately leaned their backs against the wall, squatted down, and placed their hands on their thighs.

Huang Ping was the first to rush over, followed closely by Chen Rong.

Huang Ping reached the wall, stepped on Li Guohua's hand with his left foot, and with the other party's support, stepped on Guo Lin's shoulder with his right foot, and stepped directly onto the platform. Then he immediately turned around, bent down and stretched out his hand, trying to pull Chen Rong.

With Chen Rong's current level of time-travelling skills, there was no need for help. However, the situation was urgent, so he did not try to be brave. After jumping, he grabbed Huang Ping's hand.

Woo!
A strange sound passed over Huang Ping's head.

"Fuck! Sniper!"

Chen Rong's face changed, and he quickly lowered his center of gravity and pulled Huang Ping off the platform.
