The effective range of some powerful sniper rifles is roughly three thousand meters. But that's just the firearm's capability.
Even elite snipers mostly hit targets accurately only within a range of eight hundred to twelve hundred meters. Only exceptionally talented and experienced ace snipers can break this limit and exceed two thousand meters.
Even so, a shot still relied on luck, weather, and prolonged aiming.
The sniper Dean faced naturally couldn't reach this level; otherwise, he wouldn't have joined such a high-risk operation.
The building he was in was only seven to eight hundred meters in a straight line from the crossroads.
With a burst of speed, Dean's long legs sprinted across the ground, leaving visual afterimages, as if flying or gliding. In just over a minute, he reached the base of the building and cut off the sniper, who was rapidly rappelling down a rope!
HUFF.
A puff of hot white breath escaped his lips.
