Heinsilio wasn't as easy to handle as he seemed, Mengdie thought about swiftly closing the distance between them, but he was aware of her intentions. Her Mecha had hardly gained momentum before Heinsilio forced her to retreat with a few consecutive sniper shots. For a moment, both sides were at an impasse.

As it turned out, Mengdie could disrupt his rhythm, and he could also suppress her, but don't forget, Heinsilio was a professional shooter. Why would he fear Mengdie's long-range shooting?

Ultimately, Heinsilio has his crosshair set on Mengdie's head, but he didn't take the shot. Instead, he made a shooting gesture, as though he is hinting at her to come after him if she dares.

How clever of Heinsilio, she considered. If she didn't show her strength, he might underestimate her. Maybe he didn't even know who he was really dealing with. Not hesitating any further, Mengdie swiftly commanded the Mecha to disappear into the forest from another direction...

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... in the middle of the rainforest, Mengdie managed to quickly dart around while simultaneously observing her surroundings. Unfortunately, she couldn't spot any trace of him. He disappeared abruptly, just like that — camouflage is a fundamental skill for a sniper. Yet, Heinsilio's camouflage technique was distinctive; he switched off all power sources in the Mecha's cockpit, including the sensors and radar equipment, leaving only a detector like a hunter waiting for prey. If his adversary passed by, he would immediately sense it.

Heinsilio's camouflage technique had reached a master level. However, Mengdie's stealth skills were no worse. Both of them were top-level warriors with different roles. Perhaps Mengdie's camouflage skills couldn't match Heinsilio's due to the nature of their professions, but as a top-class front-line assaulter, Mengdie's stealth skills were just as good as his. In this respect, both of them were evenly matched.

However, under the same conditions, being camouflage is like lying in ambush, while being stealthy is about making calculated moves. In this instance, Heinsilio had the upper hand over Mengdie. Having the initiative is an advantage. Unconsciously, Mengdie had gradually entered Heinsilio's attack range. Of course, Heinsilio hadn't discovered Mengdie yet; they were still a few kilometers apart. But as the distance between them steadily shortened, Heinsilio, who remained still, would inevitably discover his opponent before she discovered him. This is why he had boldly rushed into the rainforest.

Indeed, Heinsilio was unaware that his opponent was Mengdie. However, if anyone got too close to him, it would likely be the end of his days as a sniper. Although it was a micro-battlefield, one could still infer the macro progression from its observation. In other words, if you can defeat your opponent in the game, you would more than likely do the same in real life, and vice versa. This is precisely why Heinsilio was taking this battle so seriously.

It was not until the two were less than 2000 meters apart that Heinsilio first noticed Mengdie. His emotionless, cold crosshair had already locked onto Mengdie's ammunition rack. Heinsilio estimated that she would get within 500 meters of him before detecting his camouflaged self. This would be a perfect time for him to light a cigarette, or think about how to defeat her.

To Heinsilio's view, sniping was an art. To perfect this art and make up for his previous failure to kill Reiko, Heinsilio decided to stake everything on this single, terrifying shot.

The audience's emotion reached its peak. Everyone could see Heinsilio preparing to pull the trigger. They also saw handsome guy's hesitation and his struggle to decide whether to advance or retreat.

Yes, as a top-level warrior, Mengdie's sense of her surroundings had been honed incredibly sharp. She had already smelled a hint of danger but didn't know which direction it was coming from. This uncertainty made her pay more attention to her surroundings...

In reality, Mengdie had already entered Heinsilio's optimal shooting range. Heinsilio had originally planned to fire at around the 1500-meter mark due to his sniper's compulsion; sadly, things did not work out that way. God wouldn't always favor his wait until right when he saw Mengdie turn around that the patient Heinsilio decided to pull the trigger.

As for where to shoot, there is much science behind it. Heinsilio smiled confidently, first controlled the recoil, then aimed his shot at Mengdie's lower gear.

Bang! Right at the moment when she was turning around, the sudden gunshot made Mengdie jolt. This shot had come extremely unexpectedly, Heinsilio's timing was incredibly exact, and even Mengdie was caught off-guard.

What was on Mengdie's mind was figuring out how to sense her opponent's position. However, while she was still processing this, the attack had already arrived. Forget about identifying the direction of the bullet; the danger alarm and the opponent's bullet had practically arrived at the same time. She had no time to think, but her instinct was telling her to lie down as quickly as possible, rather than dive in one direction.

Because she had no way of knowing where the bullet was coming from. Lying down was safer. No opponent would be foolish enough to launch an attack on the lower body. And of course, Mengdie was not about to jump up. Without the aid of thrusters, once the Mecha was air borne, it would be a sitting duck for the sniper. There are probably only a few Mechas, other than the Revenge Shadow Rider, that could remain mid-air and counterattack at the same time.

Only after inputting the command for the Mecha to lie down did Mengdie let out a small sigh of relief and shifted her gaze. Looking at the 3D image captured on the scan, she had never expected that her opponent was...
