Chapter 28: Epic Disaster

After reaching the rooftop, Gao Yang poked half his body out from the stairwell to look around and saw no one on the rooftop.

Feeling it was safe, he let Fedor come up to the roof, and the first thing Fedor did after getting there was to scan the area again. Acting on a sniper's instinct, Fedor quickly pointed out four high points likely to be occupied by other snipers and instructed Gao Yang to use his binoculars to observe each critical point. Once they confirmed no snipers were in position, Fedor signaled Gao Yang to crawl with him to the edge of the roof.

The rooftop was surrounded by a half-meter-high parapet that could serve as cover. Gao Yang crouched, observing through his binoculars the attic he was most concerned about. Now he could see the entire panorama of the restaurant's roof, and although he couldn't see the entrance to the attic, he had a clear view of the staircase leading to it.
