章節 272: The Oakley assault

As the sun went down behind the pale ochre horizon, Kevin and his teammates jumped back on their hoverbikes and set off for their final destination. 

Five miles down the paved highway, Mira and Cairo separated from the rest of the team and took the winding dirt road that led to the abandoned sniper's nest. Kevin continued on the marked path, accompanied by the two Scouts.

The twins from Lazarus reached the location in a few minutes. It was an old windmill, barricaded by a dirty brown picket fence and surrounded by clumps of bushes and bone-dry shrubbery.

Cairo helped her sister attach a removable tripod to the Electro Rifle and swap out the regular scope for a thermal range finder. Once the sniper was all set up, they climbed the winding brick stairwell and made their way to the upper level of the windmill.
