The next morning, Joja woke up from the recliner and found that it was almost dawn.
He had stayed up late talking to his brother the night before, which had relaxed him a lot, and he had fallen asleep without realizing it.
Opening his eyes, Joja saw Nis and Antar preparing their equipment. Joja looked at Nis a little embarrassed and said, "Did I fall asleep before it was time last night?"
Nis filled a magazine and put it in her waist bag, then smiled at Joja and said, "You fell asleep at 2 am, and I took over at 1 am. You missed an hour of sleep."
Joja knew his performance yesterday was not up to par, but as the boss, he couldn't always criticize himself. So he changed the subject and asked Antar, who was organizing an AWM, "Are you still used to this gun?"
Antar hesitated for a moment, then gripped the AWM's handle with her right hand. When she squeezed it, her gloved thumb naturally curved and locked onto the handle, securing her hand in place.
When Antar gripped a specific position on the handguard with her left hand, a similar clasp secured her thumb, allowing her to exert force.
Although this still didn't make her grip as stable as a complete hand, the gloves designed by Joja allowed her to use her wrist to offset some of the recoil and make up for her lack of grip strength.
Antar held the AWM sideways and showed it to Joja, saying, "I use .300 Magnum bullets, and the recoil and power are just right for me.
If the Devil Bird uses a TAC-50, I can complement her with this.
If the Devil Bird uses a G29, I'll use the PSG-1 as support.
The guns you provided are incredibly accurate, so I adapted quickly."
As Antar looked at the quiet Nis, she said seriously, "Today, to complete the mission, I chose the AWM.
You can rest assured that I may not be the best observer, but I will definitely be the best partner for the Devil Bird."
Joja looked at Antar's almost 'humble' performance and shook his head helplessly, saying, "I don't know what the Devil Bird thinks, but in my heart, you are the best."
After Joja finished speaking, Nis reached out and pulled Antar's hand, saying, "I also think you are the best. You are the partner I have been dreaming of, and we need you by our side."
Seeing Antar trying to seek recognition, Joja waved his hand forcefully and said, "If you keep this up, Erica will owe me tens of thousands. I'll call him and have him give the money to your family, so you'll be working off your debt.
You have to believe that no boss will give up on an employee who owes them!
Erica said my AW2000 and AWM should sell for about $400,000, and I will give him about $150,000 to build the hunting company's website.
You now owe me $250,000 and are in a high-debt group, so you can only receive a basic salary for the next two years.
Even so, you still have to work hard for me for 2-3 years. Are you okay with that?"
Upon hearing this, Antar stared at Joja in disbelief. After a few minutes, she wiped her eyes and nodded vigorously, saying, "I have no problem. Thank you, boss!"
Joja had effectively bought off Antar's 'insecurity' in one go, because she was afraid of unemployment, afraid of losing her current job that she liked and was good at, and afraid of losing herself in a mundane life and not finding a sense of existence.
This method was simple and crude, but extremely effective. Although it still couldn't completely reverse Antar's inner problems, it was enough to make her work with peace of mind.
Seeing Antar regain her composure, Joja waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Antar, contact Dorian and ask if he's ready.
Nis, take care of things here and destroy everything we've used.
I'll have a little breakfast. Well, I'm the boss, so you definitely won't mind if I slack off."
Joja didn't think there was much to tidy up, so he threw the things they had used yesterday into an abandoned oil drum at the door, poured some kerosene, and lit a fire.
But Nis carefully swept the places where they had walked and touched yesterday, making sure that not even fingerprints would be left in this dusty abandoned wooden house.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that they set off for the sniper point set up by Antar.
They climbed up a tree over 20 meters high using ropes. Joja chose a thick branch to stand on, then tied himself to a tree with a rope for leverage around his waist.
Nis and Antar were on a higher tree nearby. Antar gave a bird's nest-like place to Nis and continued to climb a few meters higher, then took out a telescope and an anemometer to report data on the radio.
"At 1 o'clock, second floor of the prison, 832 meters away, southwest wind, wind speed 1.5 meters, rotate two notches to the right at a quarter of a degree, shooting angle down 6 degrees without correction."
"Received."
Joja looked through the scope at the second floor of the prison, where there was a long corridor with four windows, each 1.5 meters wide.
Old Mori was not young, and it should take him 2-3 seconds to pass by each window, which was enough time for a top sniper.Joja's 15x scope on the SVD didn't provide a wide field of view, but it was still clear enough.
But waiting was really not Joja's strong suit. He scanned back and forth on the four windows a few times, then put down the gun and said over the radio, "Elephant, are you in position?"
There was a crackling sound on the radio, and Dorian's voice came through, "This is Elephant, I'm in position. The monitor lizard is watching at the intersection, and the lawyer's vehicle just passed through his surveillance range. It will arrive at the prison in about 20 minutes. Over."
Joja glanced at his watch, then whispered into the communicator, "Devil Bird, Owl, we'll monitor in batches. Report immediately if the target is found. Complete the sniper at the second window. Over."
After speaking, Joja looked at the two women a dozen meters away, only to find that they completely ignored him.
Smacking his lips in reflection, Joja felt that it was better not to dampen the enthusiasm of the employees.
Without forcing the two to obey orders, Joja took out the binoculars and observed the surroundings of the prison.
The 8-meter-high wall gave the prison a bit of a fortress-like feel, but the inside was quite lively, even a bit relaxed.
A group of prisoners in orange prison uniforms were active in the square, and some of those guys actually looked quite cultured.
Unlike the prisons in movies that are full of African American guys and white supremacist gangs, the prisoners here were chatting, playing chess, and even reading. It was surprisingly harmonious.
The prison wall was flanked by two guard towers in Joja's direction, with two more guard towers on the square, all connected by steel frames.
Each guard tower had a gun-wielding prison guard, and there were two pairs of two-person teams patrolling the corridors.
As long as Joja and the others managed to shoot, the prison guards on the towers, with some military background, would find their approximate location first.
Counterattack was impossible, as this distance exceeded the range of the guards' weapons. But being chased in the woods with someone watching was not a pleasant experience.
