Hank's instinct, honed on the battlefield, had saved his life in the nick of time.
Bang!
Just as Hank dodged to the side, a gunshot came from a spot further away from the ruins.
"He's there!"
In an instant, all the rebel soldiers present reacted.
Although they did not understand why Kieran, who should have been hiding in the ruins, would suddenly appear there, they knew what they had to do. Bang!
Bang! Bang!
The fire from the three assault rifles stopped Kieran from firing. He did not have the chance to fire again.
With a quick roll, Kieran dove into one of the ruins.
The sunlight shone on the wall like a sharp knife, splitting Hank's vision in half. One half was warm and bright, while the other was cold and damp.
Kieran curled up on the cold and damp side, frowning.
After a more detailed observation, he had finally identified the leader of the group, but to Kieran's surprise, his sniping had failed.
[Shooting: Instinct Evasion, Target evades, 0 Damage inflicted to Target HP …]
"Are they the true elites of the rebel army?"
Kieran mumbled to himself.
His heart was filled with shock.
This was the first time Kieran had met someone who could predict danger.
Although he did not know if Kieran could predict danger so accurately every time, if he could achieve the same effect once out of ten times, it would be shocking enough.
However, Kieran quickly made his move again.
No matter how shocked he was, Kieran would not forget his goal.
Besides, Kieran did not believe that other than the leader, the rest of the rebel soldiers would have the same ability.
Kieran, who was still in the shadows, entered [Undercover] mode again.
Kieran's coat, which he had rolled back and forth on the ground, had become the best camouflage. It made it harder for Kieran to be discovered while he was in [Undercover] mode.
The assembled sniper rifle peeked out from the shadows again.
This time, Kieran didn't choose to attack the enemy's leader, but the remaining three soldiers.
The three rebel soldiers were clearly frightened by the mere twang of a bowstring. They hid in the ruins and covered their bodies. Their eyes scanned left and right, hoping to find Kieran.
However, when they widened their eyes, all they saw was a stretch of ruins and dazzling sunlight.
This was a natural battlefield for snipers!
Even the stupidest person would understand this.
"Captain!"
Hendel looked at the captain beside him.
Hank understood what his subordinate meant — use heavy weapons or … retreat.
The former won't do!
Hank was very clear about this.
As for the latter?
Hank was hesitant.
He did not want Zarukhar to be disappointed in him.
Hank knew that if he disappointed Zarukhar, his value in Zarukhar's heart would plummet, and he would be abandoned.
Not to mention bringing him away from this battlefield.
This was the last thing Hank wanted.
Bang!
Just as Hank was hesitating, another gunshot rang out.
Hendel's head was smashed to pieces.
Warm blood mixed with brain matter splattered on Hank's face. Hank, who was still hesitating, instantly woke up when he saw his remaining two henchmen retaliate in a frenzy but powerless manner.
Why did he follow Zarukhar?
Wasn't it to survive?
But now?
If he continued to stay here, only death awaited him. There was no need for him to wait for this damned war to end. He would die in the enemy's vicious trap!
That's right, a vicious trap!
After Kieran's repeated shots, Hank had seen through Kieran's abilities.
Although his marksmanship was decent, he was only slightly better than the new recruits. He was far from the elites of the army! If he really was an elite, he would have been dead by now.
As for that kind of dodging and hiding technique, although it was praiseworthy, compared to a real Scout, it was not just a little bit lacking.
If it wasn't for the favorable environment, Hank would have been able to kill him before he could even open fire.
Also, Hank vaguely felt that all of this was a trap!
A trap to deceive Zarukhar and send them out to die!
A burning sense of humiliation rose from Hank's heart, making him want to skin that despicable bastard Kieran alive. However, Hank knew what he had to do.
Get out of here!
"Machine gunner, cover!"
Hank shouted into the radio.
"Yes, yes, Captain!"
The machine gunner's timid voice reached Hank's ears through the radio.
Hank was annoyed again.
Fortunately, the machine gunner had been on his way here after receiving his orders. After the call ended, Hank saw the machine gunner's figure.
The machine gunner's evasive footwork was quite good, even with a light machine gun and a box of ammo.
The speed at which he set up his machine gun was one of the fastest that Hank had ever seen.
"Not bad!"
When Hank saw this, he finally understood why he was able to join his team.
"Retreat!"
Hank waved his hand at his two remaining men.
Immediately, the two rebel soldiers crossed each other and retreated.
Hank, on the other hand, was at the very back. He believed that his despicable opponent would not let go of such an opportunity.
At the same time, this was his last chance!
Hank's hand went to the grenade at his waist.
"Come!"
Hank gritted his teeth.
He swore to teach Kieran a lesson.
Bang, bang, bang!
Concentrated gunfire rang out, and Hank fell to the ground in pain. He saw his two subordinates lying in a pool of blood, and the smile of the machine gunner who had just turned back.
It was a playful smile, like a cat chasing a mouse.
"How could this be?"
Hank looked at him in disbelief.
Hank's response was to fire at him.
Bang, bang, bang!
After the gunshot, Hank's body was smashed into pieces, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
Kieran looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
Instinctively, he aimed his sniper rifle at the machine gunner's position, but other than a light machine gun, there was no sign of the machine gunner.
A bad feeling rose in Kieran's heart.
Without a second thought, Kieran left his current position and headed for his next hiding spot.
Kieran did not know why the machine gunner had fired, but he knew that not only had the rebel soldiers been deceived, but he had been deceived as well.
When he had killed the machine gunner, the cowardly look of the second gunner had perfectly fooled him.
He had thought that the second gunner was not dangerous, so he had placed all his attention on the remaining rebel soldiers.
He had not expected the second gunner to be the most dangerous one.
He was even stronger than the leader of the rebel soldiers who had fallen for his trap!
"Is this the major's arrangement?"
Kieran wondered as he entered [Undercover] mode.
But soon, he discarded the thought from his mind.
This kind of conjecture was not tenable at all. There were too many contradictions.
Although Kieran had only spoken to the major, other than being greedy and overbearing, the major had not shown any signs of madness or abnormality.
There was no reason for him to do this.
"What the hell is going on?"
Doubts rose in Kieran's heart.
However, it did not affect Kieran's speed.
More than 10 seconds later, Kieran reached his new hiding spot and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he could not see, Kieran was sure that the machine gunner had reappeared at his original hiding spot.
The moment the gunner had fired the shot and disappeared, Kieran had a hunch.
It was as if the gunner was trying to prove Kieran's hunch.
Just as Kieran heaved a sigh of relief, a voice came from Kieran's original spot.
"Sir, I think we can have a good talk!"
The gunner's tone was serious and sincere.
However, Kieran was not moved at all. He had no intention of talking.
Quite the opposite, Kieran moved again.
The fact that the gunner had used a machine gun to shoot at the three rebel soldiers made Kieran more vigilant than a common man.
However, after Kieran moved less than 10 meters, a series of footsteps appeared.
Dak Dak Dak!
The footsteps were hurried, indicating that the owner of the footsteps was sprinting.
Who else could it be other than Kieran in the ruins?
It was the imposter!
That was how Kieran addressed the machine gunner who had just been promoted.
The imposter had a powerful tracking technique.
A sudden realization flashed in his heart, and he quickly switched the special sniper rifle in his hand back to its original assault rifle mode. He aimed at the direction where the footsteps came from, and when the figure appeared before him, he pulled the trigger.
Bang Bang Bang!
The muzzle of the gun was fired.
However, all his shots missed.
Kieran didn't even need to check the battle log to know that he had only hit a coat.
"Damn it!"
When Kieran realized that he had been tricked, he instinctively turned around.
Kieran's hiding spot was a narrow and short passageway. The walls were made up of collapsed cement and rotten wood. From the inside, one could clearly see what was outside through the gaps between the walls, but if one wanted to enter, one could only do so from the direction that Kieran had shot and the direction behind Kieran.
However, when Kieran turned around, he did not see his target.
"I've been tricked!"
Kieran suddenly realized that the gunner had not thrown the jacket to the back, but to make him turn around.
The gunner had not moved at all. He had been waiting for Kieran to turn around.
Kieran was ready to turn around again.
However, it was too late.
"Hello, sir!"
