sarajevo sniper

Most importantly, you must be true to yourself. ("Hamlet" Shakespeare)

Linnaeus Lev lives alone.

His hiding place was to be found in the valley where the Great Morava and the Temok Rivers parted.This area is close to the national border and belongs to a sub-peak of the Eastern Carpathians.The Danube passed behind it, its waters had narrowed here, and a fresh, refreshing wind blew from the opposite bank, and it took a moment to reach the valley. ①

Linnaeus Lev seldom went out, and spent most of the time in the house, not even going to the window to have a look.The curtains are always drawn tightly without leaving a gap, as if it is not a wooden house, but an ancient castle with secrets hidden.Few people have seen him, even the hunters in the mountains don't know him very well.

Occasionally, I met him and found that he was a handsome young man with drooping eyes and thick lips, the kind of naughty, rebellious sexy that women would like.But it is really strange that such a beauty lives alone in the mountains, so there is speculation that he has committed some crimes and fled to the mountains.

Lin Nai knew that people misunderstood him.In fact, he often goes to the forest, but it is difficult for laymen to find him.For the past two days, he has been following a deer—he has observed it for a long time and is familiar with its range of activities and trajectory, and is only waiting for the final moment of hunting.

This is the winter at the end of the century, the snow-washed white river valley is more secluded because of the cold.Even at noon, the outdoor temperature was minus ten degrees.Linnai lies behind the woods, using snow camouflage clothing, auxiliary branches and leaves, and the shadow of trees to hide his body.The wind speed at this time is suitable, but he needs to accurately calculate the time and the height of the sun, because as the sun begins to drift and descend, the shadows of the surrounding trees will change. Once the shadows cannot provide shelter, he may be exposed.

The muzzle of the shotgun protruded quietly from the branches and leaves. It was an old semi-automatic rifle with a range of 700 meters. Linnai had calculated the distance in his notebook in advance, and he was sure to win the prey.

But accidents do happen.The male deer in the distance smelled danger suspiciously—it was the first deer, and its excellent and rich survival experience made it stand out from the herd. It trusted its instincts, and danger lurks all around.At this time, a small deer suddenly approached, and happily took small steps to show the leader its newly grown antlers.

The lively cubs frequently blocked the aiming point, causing a lot of trouble for hunters.The buck moved under the leadership of the cub, from a fixed target to a moving target, and walked out of the shooting range.

Lin Nai still waited patiently. He knew that the time left for him by the sun was running out. Because of the impact of the shooting range, he could not choose a further range to hunt.

Distance, wind speed, and sun altitude form a rapidly changing three-dimensional coordinate in the hunter's mind. The shadow falling on the hidden point begins to recede inch by inch.

Inadvertently, the sunlight reflected a tiny point of light on the scope, like a star thorn piercing the buck's eye.The animal neighed, took the cubs and ran away!

—It is now!

There was a "bang" of gunfire, and the bullets shot out through the forest and through the fog.Hearing the deer's short howl, the bullet was accurately nailed into the head, and its front hooves hadn't even touched the ground before its whole body fell forward.The cub ran away in fright, leaving the elder's body behind.

The hunter finally stood up, retracted the gun and walked to the prey.

When the buck died, its eyes were still open, and it cast a mournful look at the human.Lin Nai took off the gloves, leaned over and closed its eyes with his hands, feeling the soft and rich deer fur in his palms.

This deer is very beautiful, with fresh, thick and full fur, and extremely thick down. After the fur is processed, it must be very warm to make a short jacket.Linnai already had a careful plan for his prey - he has always hunted in a planned way with a clear goal.He has wanted a buckskin jacket for a long time, and the leftover fur can be used as a scarf or blanket.The venison tastes good, and the antlers and bones are excellent raw materials for combs, knives, and some household utensils...to ensure that nothing is wasted on this animal.

In winter, there are few deer herds, hunting is not easy, and it is rare to have such a rich harvest.Lin Nai took the prey back to his cabin in relief, but saw two clean and brand new black jeeps parked in front of the cabin from afar.

—The dignitaries and dignitaries of the Federation are particularly fond of American cars.

A middle-aged man in military uniform got out of the car: "Linnaeus Lev?"

Lin Nai saw his military rank: "Yes."

The middle-aged man shook hands with him: "Sanchez Berramovic, let's go into the house and talk."

The house was no warmer than outside, the fireplace was seldom used, and there was not even much firewood.Linnai made some coffee with a large iron pot, and found an enamel cup. Berramovich saw the head of Tito printed on it, and refused.

"It's really not easy to find you." The guest joked: "This is a ghostly place..."

Lin Nai interrupted him standing in the dark: "Speak up, General."

Berramovich didn't mind his rudeness: "I need you to do me a favor."

Lin Nai made a gesture of please.The general's assistant handed him a folder, and Lin Nai opened it in no hurry.

The general said to himself: "The military department recently received reliable information that the current No. [-] figure of 'Ustasha'② has appeared, and he is going to attend a concert. I need you to carry out this assassination plan. My operation team will cooperate with you. This is a secret operation, and I will be directly responsible for the leadership and planning, and there will be no official and public records to avoid troubles in public opinion."

Lin Nai didn't seem to understand: "You are looking for the wrong person. I am a border patrol agent. You should go to the special forces for this kind of thing."

The general raised his eyebrows: "You don't want to do it?"

Linnaeus pushed the document back: "You heard me, I'm just a border patrol agent."

The general pointed to the phone on the coffee table: "Can I borrow it?"

Lin Nai nodded: "You are free."

Berlamovich made the call: "Border Patrol... oh Lieutenant, good evening, I'm Sanchez Berlamovich... You're welcome, let's cut the long story short, I need one of your lads, probably one About a week, yes, his name is Linnaeus Lev... yes, yes, thanks."

Then he hung up the phone: "Okay, you're not a patrolman now. What's up?"

Lin Nai answered him with gloomy and calm eyes.

The general crossed his legs and looked at him in his spare time: "Linnai Lev, a Serbian, graduated from the Royal Yugoslav Academy of Military Sciences, was sent to the British SAS special training program at the age of 19, and returned to China at the age of 21 to serve as a sniper in the 'Special Mission Company'③, I have been to Croatia in 90, and won the first class once, the first class three times, and the second class twice, and broke the record of the best sniper with a range of two and a half kilometers. The best special forces of the People's Army. Border patrol? Oh, do you really think that you will stay in this deep mountain and old forest for the rest of your life?"

The sniper drank his coffee expressionlessly: "I think life is pretty good now."

The general stood up and walked over, patting him on the shoulder: "Young man, don't be overwhelmed by temporary setbacks. I have also been demoted. Where is there no villain who is jealous of talents? As a soldier, we should have a big picture. Some, the country has trained you, and you should repay it. As soon as the military order is issued, go to the battlefield immediately, for the sake of the motherland and the nation..."

Speaking of this, the general raised his waist and clenched his fists: "In order to achieve the common and great goal of 'Greater Serbia'! ④What are the Croats? Hmm? Who blessed them in a small place like Slovenia? Unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! And those lawless Muslims, who gave them the right to host the Winter Olympics? That should have been our honor!⑤"

The sniper's cobalt blue eyes were motionless.

But the admiral keenly caught a flash of fierce light, and he handed over the document again: "We are all going to die, Linnai, anyway, I am going to die on the battlefield, I don't know what your plan is I don't know, when you are dying, remember that you failed to do your best for the great cause of the nation, will you regret it?"

Lin Nai looked down at the dark "confidential" seal on the document bag, and after a while, finally opened it.

Inside are photos of people, profile information, concert tickets and program listings.He saw the address of the theater on the ticket, and frowned slightly because of the name of the city: "Sarajevo?"

The admiral was already about to go out, so he turned back and gave him a meaningful smile: "Oh, you will like it there."
