Shadow Empire

Chapter 572 Sniper [666+24]
"The success rate of a mid-course attack is very low."

"There are a lot of patrol police on the streets right now, and Lance's car is also specially made. He only needs to hold on for a short while, and a large number of police will arrive, along with his people."

"Even with explosives, it would be difficult for us to get close to his car. His men would shoot at us regardless of their own lives."

"And his driver could have just kept driving without stopping, so it would have been difficult for us to blow him up during the chase."

"In the end, there's a high probability that we'll all be finished, but we may not be able to kill him."

Lance's convoy had been attacked more than once, but the only one that had come close to success so far had fallen far short.

Therefore, the idea of ​​directly attacking Lance's team was completely abandoned from the very beginning.

It is mentioned now only to make it seem like there are more options, but in fact, there were not so many choices from the beginning.

Gao Li rubbed his temples vigorously and gave his analysis, "So my opinion is still inclined to the moment when he got on and off the car at the bank."

"Whether he was getting out of his car and going back to his bank, or coming out of the bank and getting into his bulletproof car, he would be exposed for about three to five seconds."

"These three to five seconds are enough for us to get rid of him."

Lance walked very fast, and the car door was opened before he even walked out of the bank.

From the moment the door of the new company was opened, he was completely exposed to the shooting environment, to the moment he completely entered the car, it took only three to five seconds.

He would just walk a few steps and get into the car without any hesitation.

And it was the same when he returned.

When his subordinates opened the door, he would go out directly and quickly return to the company, unlike some people who like to stand by the car for a while after leaving it.

Lance doesn't have this hobby. He would get out of the car with his back bent, and then stride towards the door of the new company.

The security guards around him would also stick close to his back to shield him from the situation behind him. In this situation, it would be almost impossible to kill Lance with a sniper rifle alone.

As for why there was someone sticking close to his back when he went back, but no one was protecting his front when he came out, it was because if there was someone blocking in front of him, it would not only slow down the time, but might also force him to follow the pace of others.

But if the security guard stayed behind him, there would be no such troubles.

So they only had one chance, which was the moment Lance came out of the bank. They had three seconds to aim, pull the trigger, and then retreat immediately regardless of whether they hit the target or not.

He told Bandi about the plan, and Bandi expressed his support.

There is nothing he can do if he doesn't support it, because he has no other choice.

The two walked around the area and finally found an apartment diagonally opposite the new company, which provided a better shooting view.

More importantly, there are houses for rent in this apartment.

Gao Li did not show up, but asked others to come forward, rent the apartment on the fifth floor, and then give him the key.

He and the sniper arrived at the apartment at around two or three in the middle of the night. The administrator was leaning on a chair with his head tilted, already asleep, and had no reaction to the man carrying two long backpacks.

It was not until the sound of the elevator being used was heard that he vaguely saw two figures.

The two figures didn’t make him think too much. He wiped the saliva from his mouth, changed to a comfortable position, and fell asleep again.

The two men entered the reserved apartment. The sniper immediately set up his sniper rifle, then leaned against the window, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Gao Li spent the whole night on the bed, but the mattress in the apartment was not very good, making his sleep very uncomfortable.

When he got up in the morning, the sniper was already there adjusting the aim.

The distance from here to the gate of Lans New Company is about one hundred and seventy to one hundred and eighty meters. At such a short distance, the impact of low wind speed can be ignored.

However, in order to avoid strong winds, the sniper still placed a small anemometer outside, which many children play with.

This kind of thing is very common, not rare, and no one would be interested in it.

It took about 0.25 seconds from the time he fired the gun to the time Lance was shot. Lance's pace was very fast. He could take about two steps forward and move about 80 centimeters.

Eighty centimeters at a distance of more than one hundred meters might be a tiny angle for him, but it was this tiny angle that could cause the assassination to fail.

He kept adjusting his shooting posture, and after checking the chamber, he test fired several times with the gun empty.

After finding a completely comfortable position, he set up his sniper rifle and started eating.

Neither of them spoke, but just stared quietly at the street outside Lance Company.

If he needed to leave, his car would be parked outside the gate in advance, and as long as he saw Lance's car, it meant he was about to come out.

Until morning, they didn't see Lance come out, and there was no communication between the two of them. They just did their own things.

Near noon, there was a sudden knock on the door of the apartment. The two men immediately became alert and took out their weapons.

"Who's there?" Gao Li pointed to the other side of the door. They stood on both sides of the door.

If someone rushed in from outside, that person would definitely be cross-shot. The voice outside the door was unfamiliar, "I'm the administrator, are you new residents?"

"You have to pay the sanitation fee, gas fee, water fee, electricity fee and management fee in advance."

He listed several charges in a row before Gao Li opened the door a crack, but he did not remove the door safety.

The two of them stared at each other across the gap. The administrator looked impatient. He handed over a prepaid form and said, "It's five dollars in total. If there is a surplus next month, it will be refunded to you. Of course, if it's not enough, you need to give me the money."

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the manager frowned and became more impatient, "Are you going to give it to me or not?"

There was a very special aura about him, as if... if Gao Li said no, he would be torn to pieces by the administrator immediately!
He suddenly found it funny, then he took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket, handed it over, and took the form.

The administrator turned around and left with a sullen face. Gao Li seemed to have closed the door, but in fact there was still a gap.

After a while, the footsteps stopped on the other side of the corridor. Then he heard the administrator's impatient voice urging payment, and then he closed the door completely.

What he didn't know was that after the administrator returned downstairs, he dialed another number.

"It's me, ... the manager of the apartment."

"Well, yes, there are three new tenants in the past two days, two of whom are single tenants, and the other is a couple..."

"I just confirmed that they are all in the room now...Yes, there is something I think I should tell you."

"The guest in room 506 was very cautious and alert. Even after I told him I was the administrator, he still didn't open the door's safety."

"Well, okay, I see."

He hung up the phone, picked up the newspaper, and started a new day.

On the other side, several members of the Lance family walked towards the apartment.

Lance asked people to say hello to the apartments and office buildings around the new and old companies.

They have to review the new residents every day and confirm their circumstances.

As for those office buildings, Lance required that rooms where no one was working must not have windows facing the outside and must be sealed.

Whether it is an apartment or an ordinary landlord, they actually support Lance's decision.

On the one hand, doing so can reduce your own troubles, and on the other hand, it can also help tenants understand some rules.

Ensuring the security of tenants' identities has only benefits and no disadvantages for landlords.

At this time, Lance had finished his breakfast. He was about to go out and was already making preparations before going out.

At the same time, four young men walked into the apartment building, and the apartment manager wrote down the newly added individual house numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to them.

This was not their first collaboration. Before Lance moved in, all the buildings nearby that could directly see the company's entrance and offices were checked.

With Lance's prestige in the Empire District, everyone is very happy to cooperate, so now all we have to do is check the new tenants.

Four young men got into the elevator with relaxed smiles on their faces. They had been here several times and no accidents had ever happened.

They believe that there will be no surprises this time.

On the street, a highly recognizable convoy of cars drove out of the parking lot and stopped outside the company's gate.

The sniper by the window was stunned for a moment. He immediately swallowed the food in his mouth, took a sip of water, raised his sniper rifle, and prepared to shoot.

He slowed down his breathing as much as possible to keep his body in the best condition.

With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened and Lance walked out of the elevator. There were already some people in the lobby.

They all greeted Lance.

Lance was a man without airs, and anyone could have a chat with him. When he was about to reach the door and the person at the door opened it, he suddenly stopped and said, "I'm going to the bathroom first."

As he said this, he turned and walked towards the toilet next to him. The moment he closed the toilet door, two young men knocked on the door of room 506 in an apartment nearly two hundred meters away.

The other two went to check two other rooms that looked more normal.

The young man's knock on the door was obviously different from the administrator's knock on the door. The two people in the room looked at each other. The sniper continued to prepare for shooting, while Gao Li walked to the door, held his breath, and did not answer.

Lance shook himself, zipped up his pants, and walked to the sink to wash his hands. He looked at himself in the mirror and put a small strand of messy hair back where it belonged.

Then he nodded to himself in the mirror with satisfaction, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

At the same time, the two young men also realized that something was wrong, because the administrator said that there was someone in the room, but now there was no response from inside, which was very abnormal!

The two young men looked at each other, and one of them took a few steps back and kicked the door hard...
