Chapter 79 Another Beast Wave
"Sir. I can't find the sniper."
"You still can't find her?" The middle-aged man frowned while maintaining the jamming device. "Hurry up and find her. She is the most dangerous one among them because of her weapon."
"I understand." The young man kept looking around behind the window.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but become concerned. The device itself was not very big. However, they still needed to be exposed and faced toward Clovis's group or the concrete would block the signal.
They positioned themselves at the limit of the device, so they truly couldn't afford to get their signal disturbed by the concrete.
But this was also the reason why they were in danger.
It had been several minutes since Kanaria disappeared.
The middle-aged man had two choices. First, he should retreat even if it meant he had failed. Although he agreed to this mission, he didn't want his face to be seen or they would find out about him. As for the second option, they remained in this place, believing that Kanaria couldn't find this place.
It seemed that the middle-aged man believed that a few more minutes would be fine.
Unbeknownst to him, his opponent, Kanaria, was a tougher opponent than he originally thought.
As soon as Kanaria got the enemies' position, she immediately leaped out of the building, specifically toward the rooftop of the building in front of her. There was only one floor difference, so she didn't hesitate to jump.
After getting the general location of their enemies, Kanaria made sure to jump outside their line of sight.
She even landed easily and rolled on the ground to reduce the impact. If it wasn't for Clovis's gift that increased her speed, she wouldn't be able to cover the distance.
Now that she had reached this building, she gradually made her way toward the next building. Unfortunately, the next building wasn't that tall.
Kanaria had to go down one floor first before she made another jump. The rest of the building only had two floors on average, which allowed her to make her way toward the enemies.
After crossing five buildings, Kanaria jumped off the two-story building straight to the ground. She slid down the pole and landed on the ground safely.
This was the reason why Kanaria was always better than Lovelia. As a sniper, it would be best to move after a few shots so that the enemies, whether they were beasts or humans, wouldn't know their location.
Hence, Kanaria learned parkour. Her movement, her positioning, and her aim were far superior to Lovelia's, who was a short-ranged combatant.
She stopped by a tall building that she believed allowed her to get her enemies in sight.
Without hesitation, she climbed the building. Instead of the rooftop, she used a broken window to aim for the enemy so that she had enough cover to hide herself.
Kanaria aimed her sniper rifle toward the building that was supposed to be the enemy's hideout and found a young man behind the window.
"!!!" Kanaria looked at other floors, but she didn't find anyone.
'Is it only that young man? Or does he have other accomplices?' Kanaria thought. Considering she didn't see the jamming device on him, she believed that their enemy had more people.
"Either way, I have to stop them even if it means making them focus on me." Kanaria took a deep breath, carefully aiming at this young man.
The young man was still trying to locate Kanaria until he suddenly heard a flash on one of the buildings. However, before the sound arrived, the window shattered as he was thrown back.
*Bang!*
"What?" The middle-aged man, who was hiding deeper inside the building, widened his eyes in shock.
"Aaaahhhh!" The young man was screaming in pain as he clutched his right shoulder.
Half of his shoulder was gone, showing both the weapon as well as the bullet she used. If not for the fact that the window deflected the trajectory of the bullet a little bit, his chest would be the one suffering from this.
Without hesitation, the middle-aged man rushed to the young man and dragged him inside.
*Bang!*
The second bullet hit the building, but this time, Kanaria missed and hit the wall instead.
"How does she know our location? There are still at least a few tall buildings around us." The middle-aged man gasped while looking at the young man. He put down the device in the open area so that the jamming would still work.
In the meantime, he ripped his sleeve and covered the young man's wound.
"Take a deep breath." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth. It seemed that they had no choice but to retreat this time. "We're going to escape right now."
"En." The young man nodded with teary eyes. He had a hard time enduring the pain.
He grabbed the jamming device before lifting up the young man. Yet, before they moved, the situation took an unpredictable turn.
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
*Roar!*
A series of roars caused the city to become lively again. However, the roars were actually closing in on Clovis's position.
Clovis, Jay, and Kanaria couldn't help but raise their heads, realizing that something had gone wrong. It was clear that this was a planned attack.
The middle-aged man observed the noises and said, "What? The beasts are coming toward them? Don't tell me… there are other parties trying to kill them."
Because Lovelia requested their group block their connections, the middle-aged man misunderstood her, thinking that Lovelia also prepared another party to do the execution.
However, there was one person who took this beast wave much more seriously. It was Melody.
"Damn. Such a coincidence… or not. Are they being targeted by someone? Is it related to that incident?" Melody looked at the radar as well as the sound of those roars. "The beasts are closing in. There should be a few hundred beasts coming here.
I don't know the reason, but they are in danger."
Melody looked at the screen carefully before making her decision. "Tsk. They should pay me much higher after this. It can't be helped, I guess I will tire myself out today by becoming a mobile operator."
