Chapter 108: Volume 3 - 18 Who Am I Afraid Of?
The supporting Special Forces finally arrived. These battle-hardened elites stepped by step tightened the encirclement radius, the more they walked, the more shocked they were. Every trace in the jungle told a thrilling duel story. This wasn’t a battle of a company, nor a platoon, but a duel between two people using sniper rifles with not very high fire rates. To outsiders, the jungle seemed unchanged, but to these Special Forces who had long been fighting behind enemy lines, this jungle was practically a sniper textbook!
They carefully preserved these traces and searched along the duel route, finally discovering a Federation [Magic Beast Ⅲ] Mecha on a cliff, with the Mecha holding a corpse. The Special Forces Group commander leading the team carefully examined the features of the corpse, and based on Russell’s description, it was undoubtedly Hopkins. Then, through the small viewport of the Mecha cabin, he saw Tian Xingjian sleeping inside.
The Special Forces Group commander waved his hand, leaving a company to guard [Logic], took the remaining Special Forces and turned away to find every trace of the battle and create a set of simulated images, not everyone had the fortune to witness such a top-tier battle. From their movement and shooting, the Special Forces Group commander believed he could learn a lot!
The commander started from the last Federation Special Soldier who was shot in the head, followed the direction of the blood sprays in reverse, first finding Hopkins’s hiding position. Behind this rock, there were traces of depressions in the grass, then, he found bullet holes in the rock and the first scene where the battle began.
Reconstructing a scene from traces is a very challenging and not highly valued task, as not every shot and movement leaves a mark, but the Special Forces enjoyed it immensely. They lingered at each bullet hole, footprint, and rolling trace, numbering the marks while attempting to simulate the scene at that time. The more they advanced, the more shocked they were. What a thrilling battle it was, just based on these traces to speculate and simulate, already made all Special Forces’ minds race with excitement.
Especially the dedicated sniper in the Special Forces group, engrossed in it. Such high-speed sniping, once started, was hard to encounter, but under the deliberate provocation of the Federation sniper, they entered this do-or-die battle. Even though the outcome was known, the Special Forces still broke into a cold sweat for the Federation sniper. Some bullet holes and traces were simply unimaginable. The Federation sniper was completely dancing on a tightrope over an abyss!
However, why this Federation sniper suddenly appeared in a Mecha puzzled the Special Forces. They strove to collect any clues, determined to uncover the mystery.
Many Special Forces had the same thought: "If this Federation sniper danced on a tightrope to lure enemies into a trap... this guy is too despicable, doesn’t he have the awareness of a master!"
