Mist had actually taken aim.
It wasn't that his marksmanship was poor, but his MK18 was equipped with a 553 holographic sight on its skin rail.
Because the two were on an infiltration mission, they tried to avoid firing as much as possible, and even when they had to fire, it was only at close range.
The MK18 assault rifle itself was a weapon designed for close to dium-range combat, whereas Abu was at least fifteen hundred ters away from Mist at that ti.
Asking Mist to attack Abu from over a thousand ters away with this close-combat weapon was as difficult as using a bamboo pole to poke an airplane.
Song Heping watched the commotion with his arms crossed.
He also wanted to know whether the Seal Team mbers were really that impressive.
Using the MK18 assault rifle to take out a sniper over a thousand ters away.
If Mist had managed it, Song Heping bet with himself that he would certainly have to bow down to him.
"Damn it! No way! Too far!"
After aiming for a long while, Mist ultimately gritted his teeth and gave up.
"Chris calling GHOST!"
"GHOST here, go ahead."
"We can't keep playing hide and seek!"
Chris sounded very agitated.
"Once the battle in Zone I is over, he will slip away! I must face him in a showdown!"
The Seal Sniper finally lost his patience.
He didn't want to keep running around, eventually returning to the team without having seen the enemy's face or fired a shot.
"He's always ahead of you, you are at a disadvantage! If you don't want to die, you must listen to us!"
Mist, currently acting as team leader, issued his orders.
Regardless, he didn't want to see any more teammates get hurt.
As for whether they could kill the Mosul Reaper, that was secondary.
"No, I must challenge him!"
Chris seed a bit impulsive.
"I can't just go back like this, today he killed Major Lonnie right under my nose, letting him get away, what kind of sniper would I be?!"
"Are you crazy? Didn't your sniper school instructors teach you how to control your emotions?" Mist said, "You must obey our coordination, that's an order!"
The radio remained silent.
Chris did not respond.
"Chris!"
Mist called out several tis over the channel, still receiving no response.
"This is bad."
He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Abu. After staring intently for a while, he turned to ask Song Heping, "Can you still see him?"
"Yes." Song Heping said, "On the rooftop of a five-story building. It's a pity I don't have a sniper rifle; otherwise, I could take him out. The distance is only fourteen hundred ters, give a Barrett or a TAC-50, even an M24, and I could do it."
"Chris has cut off communication with , I've called him several tis and he hasn't responded. This kid definitely doesn't want to continue being coordinated by us, he wants to make his own decision to confront the Mosul Reaper."
"A confrontation?"
Song Heping couldn't help but scoff, "Does he think he's a cat with nine lives? The enemy isn't vegetative either; with that marksmanship and tactical awareness, I can't even say I could outdo him. Chris is courting death with this stunt!"
Mist said with a wry smile, "That's just Chris's temper, I can't control him."
"Aren't you the acting team leader?" Song Heping teased, "How co even the orders..."
Before he could finish, Chris's voice ca through the headset.
"Jamie is down! Jamie is down!"
The mont Mist heard that, he bristled and started shouting into the microphone, "Chris you fool! I told you not to be impulsive, and you just wouldn't listen! Where are you guys?"
"Zone I, east of you, I've sent you the coordinates. Damn it! This guy is too accurate; Jamie had just gone up the building, I was right behind him, and he got shot!"
"Take care of Jamie, don't act tough!"
Mist returned to the computer to check the coordinates sent through the data link.
Song Heping spread a map in front of him.
The two quickly located where Chris was attacked.
It was a building rooftop about 1500 ters from Abu.
This ti, there were no obstacles between them that could block the line of sight, indeed a place that could determine life and death, as well as superiority.
Unfortunately, Abu apparently had the upper hand.
He found the position first and kept watch over everything.
"He won't stay in the sa place."
Song Heping said, "If it were , I'd imdiately change positions, and that position would definitely catch Chris by surprise."
He stared at the map, then suddenly looked up at Mist and said, "Have Chris pull back, switch to a different spot. He's been marked, and any movent will reveal him."
While saying this, he moved to the observation scope to search for Abu's position again.
Soon, he located the target.
But this ti, Abu hadn't changed his sniping point to a new location.
He had only shifted to different spots on the sa rooftop.
After seeing his position, Song Heping quickly told Mist, "Hold off on telling Chris to retreat! His spot can oversee the entrance to the staircase!"
To withdraw from the rooftop, one must pass through the staircase entrance back inside the building.
Abu's current position could perfectly control the staircase entrance.
This ant that Chris would be visible in any tactical move he made to retreat, even if he crawled there!
This ant that Chris could only lie there motionlessly, using the rooftop fences as cover.
"Chris, don't move! If you do, he'll see you!"
Mist urgently communicated this to Chris over the channel.
"I'm not pulling out, I want to fight him. I just need a position, you guys tell his location, and I'll see if I can take him down!"
"You can't expose yourself!"
"No need, there are a few bullet holes in the rooftop fence, I can use them to do my job."
