Chapter 129: The World-Shattering Snipe, The Baffled Inspection Teams

“Someone is hitting people, someone is beating people!”

“Someone was killed!”

“Ah, hurry, hide, hide!”

In the tranquil streets of Nancheng, screams of horror abruptly filled the air. Three young individuals, two men and a woman, lay sprawled on the ground in a grim tableau, drenched in blood.

Wang Yun calmly stood amidst the chaos with a scalpel in hand. Onlookers were frozen with fear at the sight, scrambling for safety.

Staff from a TV crew swiftly intervened to calm down the bystanders and make a call to the police. This call, however, was merely a cue for the show’s team to enact Wang Yun’s arrest, interrogation, and subsequent mock imprisonment.

The prison was meticulously prepared by the show’s crew, aiming for a simulation so lifelike it blurred the lines between fiction and reality. The production team had invested heavily in this realism.

The fervor surrounding the Skynet Operation program had propelled Chinese culture and martial arts onto the global stage, with Chinese martial arts being celebrated as the pinnacle of combat arts worldwide. So, the nation also fully supported the tv program.

Wang Yun watched the staff’s dramatized agony and couldn’t help but crack a faint smile.

With a swift motion, he darted away. The civilians around him hurriedly took cover.

‘Based on the timing, it should be about fifteen minutes before the ‘police’ officers arrive. They will conduct some questioning in the area. I should have about half an hour,’ Wang Yun calculated in his mind.

In half an hour, he intended to make his way back to be caught.

He swiftly moved to a secluded spot to change into the clothes he had prepared beforehand. Then, Wang Yun made his way to his chosen sniping position.

Once in position, he immediately lay down, taking aim in the direction where the international program inspection teams were based.

Wang Yun had been observing this spot for an entire day. Since the afternoon, only a handful of program inspectors had emerged.

By Wang Yun’s calculation, it was about time for them to appear. After all, even the inspection teams from various countries needed to take breaks for meals and rest. It was unrealistic to expect them to be on duty around the clock.

Realistically, continuous work without breaks for commuting, resting, or sleeping was impossible.

As time ticked by, Wang Yun lay in wait. The most important trait for a skilled sniper is patience.

By 7:20 PM, as dusk began to settle, program inspectors from the international teams started to walk out.

Teams from fourteen countries, including China, India, Korea, the United States, Japan, Singapore, Germany, and so on.

Around 7 PM, elite members and Captains from the inspection teams of several countries simultaneously exited their respective offices.

“I’ve heard that the Chinese and Indian teams have already formed an alliance. They’re the only teams to have done so. Should we consider partnering with them? With Wang Yun’s movements no longer confined to Nancheng, the challenge of capturing or eliminating him on our own has increased exponentially. An alliance could provide us with additional intelligence and strategies, greatly enhancing our chances of success.”

This discussion unfolded among members of the Japan program inspection team.

Captain Minami, alongside four other Captains and a cadre of elite operatives, voiced their considerations.

The Japan team had not pulled out of the Skynet Operation program. It wasn’t for lack of desire but because withdrawal was no longer an option for them.

However, Captain Mita and his mentor had left the program inspection team in utter defeat.

Indeed, even though Captain Mita had not been directly defeated by Wang Yun, the fallout was too much to bear, prompting his departure.

Following their exit, the Japanese program inspection team introduced two new captains and additional elite inspectors. Now, the eyes of all Japanese viewers were on them, awaiting Wang Yun’s defeat.

Only such an achievement could salvage the nation’s pride.

Driven by this imperative for honor, withdrawal from the program was out of the question.

“Let’s set aside the idea of approaching the Chinese team. Given Captain Mita’s previous insults towards them, attempting an alliance now would only add to the mockery. Perhaps we should inquire if other program inspection teams are open to an alliance,” advised a senior member of the Japan program inspection team, shaking his head.

“Let’s reach out to other countries,” suggested another Captain, nodding in agreement. “At the moment, we’re at a dead end with Wang Yun. It would be prudent to ally with other teams to exchange more intelligence.”

Their aspirations had shifted. They no longer harbored the sole ambition of defeating Wang Yun alone. As long as they participated in taking down Wang Yun would suffice to salvage the reputation of the Japanese program inspection team.

At least, it would spare them further criticism.

Spotting a group nearby, Captain Minami’s interest piqued.

“There’s a Captain of the American team. Let’s see if they’re open to collaboration.”

“Let’s give it a shot,” the other Captains concurred.

“Captain Everick, could we trouble you for a moment?” Captain Minami approached, extending a greeting to a Captain from the United States team.

“Oh?”

The United States team, about a dozen people, turned their attention toward them, eyebrows arching in curiosity.

“Captain Minami, what can I do for you?” Captain Everick asked, his face alight with a welcoming smile.

“Captain Everick, esteemed captains, we’re curious if you have any leads on Wang Yun or if there’s any interest in a collaborative effort to apprehend him?” Captain Minami asked with a hopeful smile.

“Heh, we don’t have such intentions at the moment,” Captain Everick glanced at his fellow captains before shaking his head, declining the offer.

Just as he finished, a captain beside Everick subtly smirked, adding softly, “It’s only the weak who seek collaboration with program inspection teams from other nations.”

Clutching a cigar between his lips, his expression was one of unmistakable confidence.

The dismissive remarks from the Captain of the United States team caused Captain Minami and his colleagues to bristle, their displeasure evident.

To be outright rejected was one thing, but to face such overt scorn?

Frustration flared within them.

“If you’re unwilling to collaborate, that’s your prerogative. However, disparaging comments are unnecessary. Wang Yun’s strength is formidable, underestimating him could prove costly,” said an older Captain from the Japanese program inspection team, his voice laced with icy restraint.

“The weak always find excuses. Yes, we acknowledge Wang Yun’s strong, but we are equally formidable. Unlike you, who have suffered significant defeats and humiliations shortly after your arrival, we trust in our ability to neutralize him. In doing so, we’ll demonstrate to the world that the United States boasts the strongest elite team,” the Caucasian middle-aged man, cigar in hand, retorted with a sneer, expelling a smoke ring for emphasis.

Proud of their status as the world’s leading power, they had absolute confidence in their capabilities and arsenal.

Nonetheless, they didn’t dare to belittle Wang Yun, whose prowess was universally recognized.

Their ambition was to neutralize Wang Yun on their own, showcasing their nation’s dominance.

Consider collaboration with other inspection teams?

Out of the question.

Nearby, other Captains and elite members from various countries glanced over. They exchanged knowing looks, their faces adorned with slight smirks, as they engaged in subdued discussion.

A short distance away, Wu Mingyu and other captains, along with several from India, emerged from their special task force base. Their glances toward the scene were tinged with mockery.

“Heh, so the Japanese team is on the hunt for allies? But it looks like they’ve been rejected. Not feeling so high and mighty now, are they?”

“I know two of those American captains. They are arrogance personified,” Kolyev remarked as he surveyed the group.

The conversation flowed as they made their way outdoors.

“Tsk, I hadn’t expected to find so many targets. Lucky me. Though it’s a shame I’ve only got twenty bullets.”

Unbeknownst to the captains and elite inspectors of the program inspection teams from various nations, Wang Yun was positioned on a rooftop nearly three kilometers away. Peering through his rifle’s scope, his eyes sparkled with anticipation.

Who should he target first?

His focus swiftly zeroed in on one individual.

Utilizing his god-level sniping, predictive, and observational skills, he pushed his abilities to their utmost limits.

***

“Why is Big Brother lying in front of the sniper rifle? What’s he planning? He’s not about to snipe the inspection team members, is he? We can’t see a thing from here!”

“Are we about two to three kilometers away from the various nations’ teams, right? From this distance, could he really try a long-range snipe?”

“That must be it. We might not have a view from the live broadcast here, but Big Brother has a scope that can see far. Did you know the current record for a sniper kill stands at 3,540 meters? Do you understand what that means? That’s nearly four kilometers!”

“Is Big Brother planning to eliminate some members of the program inspection teams before going to prison? This is mad, isn’t it?”

In Wang Yun’s livestream, countless viewers were buzzing with discussion. Through the stream, they could only see Wang Yun poised in front of a sniper rifle, unable to see anything beyond that. This lack of visibility fueled rampant speculation and chatter among the audience.

“Let’s target that guy puffing on the cigar first.”

At that moment, Wang Yun, with a subtle smirk playing on his lips, broke the silence.

In an instant, a gunshot echoed.

The livestream’s audience, upon hearing this, sharpened their focus.

Indeed, Wang Yun was executing a long-distance sniping operation.

Located three kilometers away, on the road in front of the program’s special task team, the captains and elite leaders of the program inspection team were walking, preparing to eat and rest for the evening. Among them was a white middle-aged man who was about to just mock the Japanese team while enjoying his cigar, when suddenly was interrupted by a series of urgent beeps. Confusion washed over him as the beeping ensued.

What was going on?

That alarm sound?

His cigar tumbled from his mouth to the ground, his eyes bulging with disbelief and his face etched in astonishment. A sense of foreboding overwhelmed him.

“Notification: You have been eliminated by a sniper,” announced a voice from the tech chip embedded in his chest.

At that precise moment, Wang Yun swiftly shifted his aim to another target. The second shot rang out.

At that moment, the same urgent beeping alarm sounded from a device on another middle-aged man standing close to the first Caucasian individual.

The Skynet Operation’s alert tones persisted.

“It’s a sniper, a sniper! Wang Yun is nearby!”

“Everyone, take cover now!”

Reacting within seconds, the Captains and elite members from the United States’ program inspection team were struck with the realization. Their eyes widened, voices raised in alarm.

A sniper was targeting them.

Wang Yun was actually targeting them, a fact that bewildered and sent them into a frenzy.

With representatives from fourteen countries gathered, and with Wang Yun’s ability to escape to other cities, everyone had assumed he would choose to hide. They had expected him to seek any means to escape Nancheng, to flee this dangerous zone.

But, instead?

Wang Yun did not run, rather, he was executing a long-range sniper operation, boldly challenging them right at their doorstep.

This was madness incarnate, utterly horrifying.

Who could have predicted this?

In a panic, they scrambled for cover, desperate to evade his sights.

But at this juncture, Wang Yun, positioned nearly three kilometers away, was methodically taking his shots.

The entrance area to the program inspection teams’ headquarters was a vast open space. From his vantage point, Wang Yun had an unobstructed view, enabling him to target everyone with precision.

Within his sights, Wang Yun had sixty to seventy captains and elite members from the program inspection teams of various nations. Considering each team had arrived with at least thirty individuals, and despite some being on night shift, a presence of sixty to seventy people in the area wasn’t unusual.

For Wang Yun, these individuals were merely targets.

From three kilometers away, leveraging his supreme sniper skills, unparalleled predictive insight, and sharp observation, he achieved near-perfect accuracy.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The sniper rifle shots echoed one after another.

In front of the headquarters of the international program project teams, the urgent beeping of alarms sounded incessantly.

The United States, Korea, Singapore…

Captains and elite members of these teams were hit by Wang Yun in an instant. In a matter of seconds, Captains and elite inspectors from three countries were struck by deadly shots.

“We need to run!”

“Everyone, escape now!”

Witnessing this, Kolyev and the others were bewildered, swiftly taking cover.

“Damn it, move, now!”

“The sniper is positioned at 10 o’clock, deploy a bombing drone for reconnaissance, now!”

The eyes of the United States program inspection Captains and elite members reddened with fury. Moments before, they had scoffed at the Japanese team for their immediate losses upon arrival, branding them weak.

Yet, what now?

Two of their Captains had been eliminated outright.

This ignited a mix of rage and humiliation among them, prompting loud commands.

Near the United States’ position, Captain Minami witnessed the alarm blaring from a device on a fellow Captain and saw him being eliminated. His eyes filled with rage, he roared in frustration, “Damn, another one of our Captains got hit. Why are we always the unlucky ones?”

Around them, the captains and elite members from various nations’ program inspection teams issued commands amidst their attempts to take cover, their expressions seething with anger.

“How can Wang Yun be so bold and reckless, sniping us from afar, attacking us right near our headquarters?”

“To all program inspectors, immediate action is required. Dispatch helicopters toward the 10 o’clock direction in front of our team’s location to search for Wang Yun, and do it quickly!”

“Deploy the drones, send out the attack drones!”

In their effort to avoid being hit, they were extremely embarrassed, scrambling in disarray like headless chickens.

Yet, amidst this chaos, the sound of urgent alarms persisted. Each beep marked the elimination of another Captain or elite member. The terrifying onslaught from Wang Yun caught all the program inspection teams off guard.

“Wang Yun is an absolute lunatic, completely out of his mind!” exclaimed a Captain from the South Korean team, vocalizing the sentiment of many.

Truly, this was sheer madness.

At that moment, across the live broadcasts of program inspection teams worldwide, viewers were astonished, eyes wide in shock.

The viewers worldwide were left utterly astounded.

“Our country’s team hadn’t even begun to arrest Wang Yun, and now they’ve been ambushed by him? A Captain has been killed? Is this the legendary bandit, Brother Wang Yun? My God!”

“Oh my gosh, my idol Wang Yun is truly insane. He’s actually sniping our country inspectors. This is too unexpected. How dare he?”

“Brother Wang Yun, you’re incredible, absolutely legendary. Just when everyone thought he’d be run like a rat, trying to escape Nancheng, he turned around and launched a terrifying counterattack. Too strong!”

“I’m speechless. From now on, Brother Wang Yun from China is my hero. This level of audacity, this strength, is unmatched!”

“This is what a real man is, truly the strongest person in the world. Big Brother, I want to have your babies, imagine a mixed-race baby!”

The sudden onslaught by Wang Yun took the program inspection teams from various nations by surprise, systematically eliminating captains and elite members. This sent shockwaves around the globe.

It was absolutely shocking.

No one in the world anticipated Wang Yun would initiate such an attack at this time. Adding to the irony felt by countless people globally was the fact that many countries’ program inspection teams were in the midst of planning Wang Yun’s arrest, only to be directly neutralized by him.

This???

Beyond exclaiming “Oh my god,” what more was there to say?

What the heck?

Damn?

It was indeed amazing.
