Intuition can sometimes save your life.
Song Heping sensed something was wrong.
Because number 54's direction appears to be a factory, and it's an abandoned factory.
There's a problem with such places; after entering the gate, there's a large open area, forming a fatal zone.
If a sniper is positioned around, they can easily take someone out.
Song Heping found a nearby building, pretending to look for someone, he slipped up the stairs to the rooftop.
The door to the rooftop wasn't locked.
It was only latched.
"Lucky..."
Song Heping pulled out his pistol and cautiously pushed the door open gently.
The sky outside was empty.
No one was there.
He crouched down to lower his body height and ran over to a pile of debris in the corner, taking advantage of the cover to look around.
After scouting around, Song Heping determined the highest buildings nearby and two other optimal sniper spots.
As a sniper expert.
A single glance was enough to deduce the enemy's position.
If he himself were a sniper conducting an ambush on a target in factory number 54, he would set up sniper spots at those locations.
He turned to go downstairs, then slowly walked towards the target buildings along the alleys based on his memory.
On the way, he took out his phone and dialed Nura's number.
"Nura?"
"It's me."
"Keep an eye out for my message. Once you receive my info, start heading to number 54. Remember, load your gun, and once inside, stay close to the walls."
"Why?"
"I suspect there are threats around."
"Threats?"
"Someone wants to kill us!"
"Impossible! Your friend knows the forgery guys, right?"
"Hard to explain, could be multiple reasons. Either he's betraying us, or he's been threatened. It's just my guess, hope it's wrong, otherwise I'll definitely settle scores with him."
"Alright then..."
"Don't be afraid, do as I say. I'll get you out, you won't die."
"Okay, I trust you."
He ended the call and arrived at the first suspected building.
As usual, slowly going up the stairs, the gun hidden under his clothes, ready to draw and shoot at any moment.
On the rooftop, Song Heping took one look at the door latch and immediately sensed something wrong.
Someone had just been here.
Even though the door was closed, there were fresh marks on the rusty latch indicating recent movement.
Could be the residents.
Could also be a sniper.
Song Heping didn't rush in.
He knew snipers' habits.
A sniper always leaves himself an escape route.
A sniper point will likely have a simple alarm or a trap mine device nearby.
Approaching a sniper recklessly can easily get you killed by his trap mine before you kill him.
Song Heping crouched down and peeked through the crack of the door.
Sure enough, he saw a sniper dressed in black, leaning against the railing, with his gun aimed at number 54.
What reassured Song Heping slightly was that this guy was a solo sniper.
No assistant, no spotter.
At least it's easier to deal with.
After some observation, Song Heping noticed the other had propped the door lightly with a stick. If pushed normally, the door wouldn't open.
But if pushed hard, it would make noise, giving the sniper time to react and turn his gun. Next to him was an MP7 submachine gun likely for dealing with sudden intrusions.
