Chapter 106: Volume 3, - 16: Who is the Victor
Hopkins was startled. The Federation also has experts skilled in disappearing stealth within thirty meters? No wonder the Leray Special Soldiers retreated just now. It seems they dispatched snipers they believed could counter him.
Hopkins sneered coldly. Bring it on, no matter how skilled a sniper who hasn’t been on the battlefield is, they’re still a rookie. Not to mention, the footsteps in the auditory device just now exposed the so-called experts’ true abilities.
Fatty lay in the grass, trying his best to blend with it. Simulated camouflage gear was not very effective at night, but it could protect him from being seen by infrared scopes. The hidden enemy was very calm; his attempt to stir the grass did not provoke a shot. That was his most extreme temptation. If he were any slower, he wouldn’t be able to evade the enemy’s attack.
The special soldiers were ordered to retreat. The sniper duel doesn’t need too many people; too many would be a hindrance. Fatty once worried that Hopkins might have left during the special soldiers’ retreat, but from the feeling just now, he knew the enemy hadn’t left and had almost pinpointed him.
It was an indescribable feeling, an exceedingly dangerous sensation that made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end!
This instinct of sensing danger is a skill every excellent sniper must possess. According to Bear Instructor, no matter what you call it—sixth sense, seventh sense, eighth sense, ninth sense—you must experience it in training and cultivate it! Idiots who can’t cultivate it might survive on the battlefield by sheer luck, but at a critical moment, it can save their lives!
Fatty knew that this instinct to sense danger was intuition! Bear Instructor was so damn uneducated!
The moment Fatty entered the grass, he could clearly feel those eyes tightly watching him! Like a snake with a red tongue, cold and dangerous.
Fatty’s trembling body calmed down after entering the forest, and his heartbeat dropped to the sniper’s necessary level. The fear faded; he kept reminding himself of his responsibility! In his eyes now, there was only the enemy! Find him, stall him, or kill him!
The vegetation in the academy’s back mountain was dense. Before the war broke out, the academy planned to develop a park here. Some paths were even constructed for several kilometers, but eventually stopped. The mountain wasn’t high but covered a wide area. There was a small river and several waterfalls, with clear water and beautiful scenery. The riverside had some flat grasslands where students often hid for dating and camping.
