"That's right! Ultra-long-distance teleportation magic is powerful, isn't it? It is said that only the top wizards and people with special abilities can master it. There is no need for long-distance travel, no need to enter and exit customs, and no visa required. You can go wherever you want. Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders with an envious expression on her face.

"Hey, well, it seems that it's more practical for mere mortals to travel around the United States on a motorcycle..."

Chapter 836 Sniping

An hour and a half later, Yelena had already transferred the five experts and professors to a safe house in the "Rusafa" area in the east of the river.

Although the law and order here is not much better than the civilian area just now, at least there is water and electricity, and there is no need to worry about possible firefights or even suicide bombings at any time.

While she was staring at the experts and professors who had just showered and put on new clothes, and were devouring bread, roast lamb, cheese, and fresh fruits and vegetables, she suddenly found a familiar figure appearing in the room at some time.

Including the team members who were in charge of tracking outside, no one noticed the abnormality, as if they were selectively blind.

"Hush! Don't make a sound, they can't see me for now." Zhang Cheng put a finger on his lips and explained with a smile.

"This is... magic?" Yelena's tone was full of uncertainty.

Although she is now considered a person who has mastered supernatural power, she doesn't have much experience in practical use, let alone those extremely complicated theoretical knowledge.

Zhang Cheng nodded lightly: "That's right! An interesting magic that can make ordinary people ignore themselves. If it is blessed around the building, it can prevent all intruders without magical power from approaching. I also learned it recently. , works great, doesn't it?"

"It's unbelievable." Yelena subconsciously glanced at the experts and professors who were still eating, as well as the combat teams guarding inside and outside the house.

The former are just a group of old bad old men, and their lack of vigilance is understandable, but the latter is an elite who has undergone rigorous training, and even the slightest abnormality will attract their attention. Therefore, it is not that the combat team is too incompetent, but the magic The effect is amazing.

"Tell me, during my absence, did Leonid do any tricks in private?" Zhang Cheng sat down on the opposite side of the sofa, looking into the eyes of the pseudo-loli.

Yelena hesitated for a moment, then shook her head immediately: "No! He just secretly transferred 20 US dollars to his daughter's account in [-] installments through an old friend. Apart from that, there was no other Any private actions."

"20 dollars? Divide it into [-] times? He is really cautious." Zhang Cheng showed a surprised expression.

You must know that the flow of funds that Leonid currently has in his hand is not the money he invested at the beginning. He also engages in arms smuggling, trafficking in contraband and other businesses around the world, as well as operating entertainment venues such as hotels and nightclubs.

Normally, as long as the accounts are slightly revised, not to mention 20, even 200 million or 2000 million can be obtained quietly.

"No, it's not prudence, but he doesn't want his family to know that he is still alive, which is a disguised form of protection. In addition, you probably don't know how bad the internal economic environment of the former Soviet Union was after the disintegration of the Soviet Union. , 20 US dollars is already a huge sum of money, any more will cause unnecessary trouble." Yelena obviously knew what was going on in her boss's mind, and offered an explanation.

For those who want to spend their lives in peace and stability, more wealth is not the better.

On the contrary, if there is not enough capital, too much money will not bring a better life, but will become fat in the eyes of hungry wolves.

"Restraint is a virtue! I like people who know how to exercise restraint! Alright, let's stop talking about this topic first. Here, here is the original map. Hurry up and let those experts and scholars start working." After finishing speaking, Zhang Cheng Carefully take out the yellowed parchment map from the magic pocket.

"understand!"

Yelena took the map without saying a word, went directly to the dining table, pushed all the food to the ground, and said to the somewhat confused old people in a cold voice: "Gentlemen! Meal time is over! Let's start working now." .Here is the original map you want. I declare in advance that it is very, very fragile, and no matter who causes a little damage, I guarantee that it will not be as simple as yourselves who will be punished."

"Relax! We are all professionals! We will never damage this ancient map." The leading old man put on his gloves, slowly spread out the entire parchment, and observed the patterns drawn with unknown ink on it.

The other two held a magnifying glass and tried to find out where invisible ink was used, or interlayers.

Undoubtedly, this kind of work cannot be completed in a short while, so Yelena looked at it for a while, and then returned to the sofa, drinking refreshing iced juice while chatting with her boss.

For about two hours or so, the members of the special operations team guarding the door suddenly rose into the air without warning, shattered the glass with a bang, and fell hard to the ground, with a lot of blood gushing out from their abdomen.

At this time, the sound of gunshots was heard in the distance.

"Not good! Take cover! We are being targeted by snipers!"

Another member of the special operations team at the door reacted immediately, jumped into the room, and dragged his injured companion into the room.

Anyone with a bit of military common sense knows that if the bullet arrives before the sound, it means that the sniper should be ambushing somewhere between 600 meters and 1000 meters away. Missing shots are rare, so completely hiding yourself behind solid cover is the only way to survive.

But before the others had time to react, another bullet went straight through the window and flew towards Yelena's eyebrows.

At this critical moment, an invisible force field erupted from her body, abruptly blocking the bullet at a distance less than one millimeter from her head.

"Ah! Well done! It seems that you have practiced a lot during my absence, right?" Zhang Cheng obviously didn't take the attack seriously, with a relaxed and happy expression on his face, and he even raised his hand. Cup with a sip of hot tea.

"I'm sorry, BOSS, I'm sorry for a moment, I need some time to solve the trouble."

The voice just fell!

Yelena's body was covered with a layer of silver translucent soul substance, she jumped directly from the balcony on the second floor, and quickly disappeared into the intricate alleys.

By shooting twice in a row, she has locked onto the sniper's soul, and no matter where the opponent hides, she will eventually be found.

……

At the same time, at the top of a five-storey private house more than 750 meters away, a white man wearing a US military camouflage uniform put down his weapon and cursed loudly through gritted teeth: "Fack! Explain! I need to explain! What happened to that girl White light suddenly appeared on her body! Then it blocked the bullet I fired! It was a 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet! It can penetrate steel plates and concrete walls!"

"calm down!"

The middle-aged man standing next to him scolded, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and called: "This is the No. [-] sniper point! Something unexpected happened to our operation! Urgent support is needed! Repeat! Our operation has an accident and urgently needs support ..."

Chapter 837 Sudden Inspiration

"Blood, killing and death, what a wonderful day, Baghdad is indeed a good place, what do you think?" Zhang Cheng had a playful smile on his face, and turned his attention to the few experts and scholars who had been frightened.

In fact, he prefers to stay in a place full of conspiracy, betrayal, violence, and chaos than in a safe and peaceful environment.

the reason is simple!

A safe and peaceful environment usually means a strong force of order, and the power of order will make people subconsciously hide their bad side, and desperately endure all kinds of desires and negative emotions in their hearts to ensure that they will not They will be regarded as heterogeneous by the whole society, and thus be excluded and suppressed.

But in chaotic places, order is often weak, and there is no way to restrain everyone's behavior, so whether it is for survival or to vent pressure, people will show their truest side, whether it is good or evil .

But unfortunately, this kind of crazy way of thinking is not suitable for most people.

At least these experts and professors from the National Museum and University of Iraq felt that the young man in front of him was simply out of his mind, and immediately lay on the ground to avoid the deadly bullets that might come in from the window, or the RPG rocket launcher.

Despite the fact that there are so many U.S. troops patrolling and stationed throughout Baghdad, the city is not safe at all, and armed conflicts and firefights at breaking points are commonplace.

"Not good! Scalpel! Come here and help! Old Gun has passed out!" The fighter who dragged his teammates to hide behind the concrete wall shouted the code name of another comrade.

Although he kept pressing his hand on the wounded's abdominal cavity, trying to stop the bleeding first, he didn't know whether it was luck or unlucky. When the bullet passed through, it obviously injured too many blood vessels, even a certain important artery.

Of course, this luck refers to not being shot in the head, or pierced through the chest, otherwise it would be a lifeless corpse now.

The guy who is called a scalpel is obviously responsible for battlefield medical care and first aid. Without a word, he immediately ran over to open the backpack he was carrying, and checked the wound at a very fast speed to confirm whether the bullet had passed through After staying in the body, he took out the medicine for disinfection, followed by suturing at a very proficient speed.

Due to the crude conditions and tools, he didn't bother to check the damage of the internal organs one by one. He could only do first aid to stop the bleeding. As for whether he survived, it depended on his luck.

Seeing the nervous reactions of these people, Zhang Cheng suddenly stood up and came closer, pointed to the cross hanging on the chest of "Scalpel" and asked, "Are you religious?"

"Of course! All veterans like us who have participated in real wars will more or less believe in something. Whether it is spiritual or not, at least it can relieve mental stress." The man who looks a bit like Latino smiled wryly. nodded.

"Sounds very interesting. If I can save this seriously wounded man now, are you willing to give me your faith?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin and continued to ask with great interest.
