The three teams had to replicate the mission in the Czech Republic and take out all targets at the same time. After eliminating the three targets together, they would then move on to Luxembourg to kill the final one. Everything needed to be carried out swiftly because they had to complete the mission before the enemy even realized who the targets were. If not, the last target could disappear for good.
"Wind velocity, 0.1 meters per second; wind direction northwest; humidity 40%; light fog, visibility normal; end of report." Zhao Liangze briefed Huo Shaoheng about the local weather. Snipers required a high level of precision, thus wind direction and velocity, sunlight, and rain were all climate conditions that needed to be considered. Any carelessness could result in deviation from the target.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and gave the order. "Begin mission in three minutes."
Zhao Liangze quickly relayed the message to the other team members, "Begin mission in three minutes."
"Roger."
"Roger."
Three minutes later, at almost the same time, dull gunshots rang from three different locations in Vienna. The sounds were processed by a silencer and were so low and short-lived that they blended in with the city's ambient noise.
In the cemetery, a lone man had been laying flowers on a tombstone when blood suddenly spurted from his forehead; a sniper bullet had struck his forehead, and passed through the other side of his skull. He was silent as his arms instinctively shot forward and the flowers scattered into the sky before raining back down on his wide-eyed corpse.
East of the Vienna State Opera, a huge man had been taking a selfie on his phone. Before he even had the chance to smile, he saw a round hole on his forehead. The phone fell with a thud, its screen shattering. He collapsed backward onto the ground and convulsed twice before his breathing ceased.
Finally, before the historical Vienna Parliament Building, numerous homeless people gathered. Although it appeared to be a bustling area, no one was really aware of anyone else. A man in hunting gear was about to turn into an alley when a sniper bullet soundlessly flew from the darkness and hit his back. It went through his chest and pierced his heart. The man fell forward and his arms turned extended as he grabbed at the fallen leaves. Several homeless people in the alleyway glanced at him and thought he was going through withdrawal. No one went up to him.
"Mr. Huo, all three targets have been eliminated. End of report." Zhao Liangze was happy to put away his equipment. Huo Shaoheng also placed his sniper back into its carrying case before putting on his sunglasses. "Let's go. We're headed to Luxembourg."
They didn't stop for a single moment and drove directly from Vienna. Luxembourg was a small duchyalthough it called itself a country, it was actually a city. The final target was more cautious and had already changed his location several times prior to their arrival. This time, Zhao Liangze had the support of the Copernicus systemhe had found the target's cell phone number and then used the satellite to reveal his position. This was the last target and would be a surprise attack. Instead of using sniper rifles, the team found the hideaway and blocked the exit before burning him alive inside. By the time the last target was eliminated, the deaths of the three in Vienna were still undiscovered.
"Ok, inform Big Xiong immediately: our mission is complete and we're going to London now." Huo Shaoheng had decided to go to London directly to attend the International Telecommunications Conference. It was impertinent to figure out the enemy's plan before news that the Nandou password was cracked was released. Zhao Liangze promptly informed Yin Shixiong and also texted Gu Nianzhi.
She received the message while she was writing a report in He Zhichu's office at the Harvard Law School.
"The mission is complete? Great!" Gu Nianzhi's eyes sparkled as she covertly started her computer program and connected to the Harvard internet.. She hacked into Xin Xinggao's computer in the School of Engineering and sent a latent interference command that would be relayed not only to the Copernicus system but also to the American GPS system. The interference command would quietly lie inside the two navigation systems, and when the time was right, Gu Nianzhi would initiate a sequence that would forever change the face of the entire planet's global telecommunications.
