414 Setting up a counter-ambush (1/2)

When Ren Xiaosu was learning about sniper rifles from Yang Xiaojin, she gained a rough understanding of Ren Xiaosu's current skill level. In her words, his Advanced Firearms Proficiency was already beyond that of most other people in the world.

However, snipers had always enjoyed a special status as the most outstanding marksmen in the world. If anyone encountered one, they would have to take extreme caution.

Ren Xiaosu knew well that it was dangerous for him to hunt down that sniper in the wilderness. That sniper's marksmanship was probably much better than his.

But it did not matter. Ren Xiaosu was more adept at finding prey in the wilderness than his opponent was.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was crouching next to some shrubs and searching for any signs of the enemy's whereabouts.

The sniper was very careful not to leave behind any trash throughout the day.

The sniper must have been carrying some individual field rations, but there were no signs of any discarded packaging. Most likely, the enemy had brought all the trash with him after eating, in case the discarded packaging exposed his whereabouts.

Even when he was moving about in the wilderness, he was very careful not to leave behind any footprints on the soft mud. He would take the stone path whenever there was one and was even prepared to pass through a small stream to shake off anyone who might be following him.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the shrubs in front of him and noticed some fallen leaves in an irregular pattern on the ground. When he saw this, he felt more confident.

The chase had been going on for an entire day. The sniper did not know if he was being tracked, but he had not moved too far away from his original ambush spot. He was just going about in a large circle as his mind was still on the company that had come into the wilderness. That glory was going to be his.

If he could kill an entire company, he would probably get promoted to major.

However, he wasn't stupid. He had already called for reinforcements from the rear yesterday, and it was likely that the guerrillas coming to support him would arrive by today.

The situation yesterday was actually very dangerous. But fortunately for him, he had decided to leave the ambush site in advance. Otherwise, he might have died to the mortar attack.

The sniper was a little bewildered at the time. Just which fighting force was this company from? How did that spontaneous mortar attack drop so accurately on the spot he had ambushed them from?

But what was even scarier was that soldier who used pure speed to avoid his shots!

Actually, he had subconsciously thought of the famous Xu Xianchu from Fortress 178 when he first noticed that shadow clone through his scope. Even the bandits in the wilderness knew the shadow clone was Xu Xianchu's symbol, so how could he not know?

If he killed Xu Xianchu, his promotion to major would almost be secured.

A sniper was a special type of soldier. Although they knew supernatural beings were very strong, they also understood that supernatural beings could not withstand a sniper's bullets.

As such, the sniper subconsciously started searching for Xu Xianchu's presence in the group. But since he had never seen him before, he could not tell which person in the group was him.

As such, the sniper decided to get rid of the shadow clone first. If he could not defeat the shadow clone, he would retreat.

In the end, he successfully defeated the shadow clone, and this made him grow in confidence. So a supernatural being was nothing more than that?

After getting rid of the shadow clone, he thought the entire company's fate was in his hands. However, reality forced him to wake up.

Not everyone's dynamic visual acuity was as strong as Yang Xiaojin's, nor were their reflexes as fast as hers.
