The gunshot rang out, and a man fell, but the sound of the gun was completely covered by the thunderous explosion. Even Gao Yang, the shooter, didn't hear the gunshot, let alone the noise made by the man as he fell to the ground.
Gao Yang aimed for the head. Even though he was aiming only with the light provided by the lightning, he still chose to aim for the more difficult target, the head, because only by doing so could he ensure a kill with a single shot. Moreover, at a distance of just over forty meters, the accuracy of the AK47 was sufficient. Most importantly, even if he missed, Gao Yang wasn't worried, because in these conditions, no one would realize a bullet had whizzed by them unless they were hit.
The cover of the thunder meant those people sheltering from the rain under the trees were completely unaware that someone among them had been killed. They were still hugging their arms, shivering. Although it was the hottest time, the rainwater was really cold.
