Kingdom of Corrosion

Five people crammed into a rubber boat feel a bit squeezed, but due to the heavy draft, it’s less likely to capsize.

Lin Wu, dissatisfied, nudged Little Knife with his elbow: "Where’s your Barrett?"

Little Knife answered with a grin: "Using a Barrett to hit people, I might as well use a machine gun. The Steyr SSG 08, with a fiberglass stock, just like your Li, is also a bolt-action sniper rifle."

Snow Egg said: "I read in a magazine before that the shooting range of an SSG rifle is about 300 meters."

Little Knife replied: "It all depends on who’s using it and the gun. This one’s fitted with a six-power scope, effective range can reach six hundred meters, even one thousand meters. At such a distance, it’s nearly impossible for the enemy to hear the gunshot. However, past five hundred meters, the hit rate starts to drop, especially for cold shots. Besides, I’m a clumsy sniper. Others take lives at two kilometers with one shot, while my first-shot hit rate at eight hundred meters at night is only 80%, and 60% for moving targets."

Maya asked: "Little Knife, do you know your location?"

"Yes, the signal tower."

Maya: "Once your position is exposed, you must immediately evacuate from the signal tower and head to the rubber boat to wait for extraction."
