Chapter 1444 Shootout At The Cabin -Part 2

As Jin tried to rob items from the dead Mechanoid, a shot came through that penetrated the tree trunk behind which he was hiding. "What the fuck?!" Jin knew that he was no longer safe, as there were snipers targeting him at that very moment.

The interim commander of the Grey Bear Squad had lucked out from being shot since he was squatting behind the tree to get the items. "Damn it, if only I had my real System with me and not this piece of shit, I might be able to get through this easily!" Jin now understood how important and precious the System was to him at this critical juncture, but reminiscing would not be of any use right now.

The only thing he could do was to defeat the enemies and get over the situation. However, if a sniper was able to pinpoint his location, the other two who were giving suppressive fire would be next.

"Diaz, Click. Sniper fire! The shot penetrated the fucking tree trunk. What kind of freaking bullet is that?!" Jin asked as he decided to switch places by sprinting to the next tree a few meters away under the cover of relative darkness.

"If a bullet can pass through a tree trunk, the Mechanoid must be carrying at least a .50 caliber rifle with a super charged module. They cannot use that module more than five times though, since it will disintegrate it." Yinn said through the Tactical System.

"They could always bring more." Tellie rebutted.

"Rebels have that much money in their pockets? Who the hell is funding them?" Jin exclaimed as another bullet whizzed through the side of the tree trunk and wood splinters flew. The spotters for the sniper were tracking Jin, and he knew that it was a matter of time before they had a good shot on him.

At the same time, Diaz and Click had also received sniper fire from the side of the cabin. Their cover managed to stop the initial wave of sniper shots, but they also knew that they were no longer safe. Just as they were about to move from their position, another sniper fire came and hit Diaz in the left leg.

Bouts of "red blood," wires, and even some metal pieces emerged from her leg as the bullet pierced through it, almost rendering it useless. "Click, move and change position first. This cabin is no longer safe." Diaz said in a calm manner. At the very least, with Jin's constant feeding of information, they knew where the enemies were within 150 meters of their location, just not the snipers. So, they could at least move according to the immediate threats within their proximity.

"The trajectory shots indicated three Snipers." Tellie said, and Yinn agreed with the information. While the data was a tad late, the information from the Tactical System had shown them where the shots had come from. It was extremely useful information since they could now estimate the snipers' positions. But what they were more surprised with was that Jin had somehow been able to devise a monitoring scan that had yet to be blocked by the enemy's combatants.

Even if they were mere rebels, using Super Charge Modules had already shown that they definitely had the capability to block or jam Jin's Tactical System scanning. (Unless, they got those modules illegally which might be a possibility.)

"I will stay and continue to provide suppressive fire if needed," Diaz said as she ignored the damage to her leg and attempted to reinforce the side of the cabin from which the sniper fire was coming. Diaz even used the metal box casing that held the armor plates as cover. Meanwhile, she continued to fire at the Mechanoids who were aiming at Jin.

On the other hand, Click continued to move around the cabin corners for cover to shoot at her enemies. Now that the rebel Mechanoids knew their position, they took evasive maneuvers and applied pressure through suppressive fire to remove their initial shock advantage.

"I found them," Yinn said as she managed to see them through the customized scope on her assault rifle. "But my rifle doesn't have the range to hit that far."

"I can give it a try, but I'll only have one shot before exposing my position," Tellie replied. Jin chuckled through the Tactical System intercoms.

"That's all I need. Don't forget we still have the Tactical Console," Jin said as he sent a burst of three bullets out as a distraction and hid behind another tree, out of the sniper's line of fire. Once he was under cover, he pulled out the holographic Tactical console and saw the codes materialized as cards.

They were similar to the equip cards he had used for his minions when he had the old System, and he knew how to make them work. Maybe the System had created the equip system as inspiration from this tactical console.

20% Increased Accuracy Rate. Quick Shot. Double Tap. Steady Aim. War Maiden Range Extender (Consumable).

Jin consecutively used the five code cards on Tellie by swiping them onto her portrait within the Tactical Console, and she could feel the processor within her making temporary adjustments. Her hands started to tremble and she discovered that her arm was glowing mildly before showing slits that opened in the middle where the ulna and radius bones are located. A barrel accessory emerged as if the War Maiden had 3D printed it on the fly.

To put it gently, Tellie was undoubtedly overwhelmed by the temporary power boost and her ability to create something out of the blue. However, now was not the time to be surprised, as she knew that these buffs only lasted for a while.

She quickly picked up the Range Extender from her left arm and, using her Mechanoid dexterity, changed the barrel and took aim. Just one deep breath allowed her to steadily hold her weapon of death.

"Take the shot," Jin said as he continued to lure the sniper's attention by zigzagging around, attempting to kill the Mechanoids in the vicinity as well.

"Yes, LT," Tellie replied, and pressed the trigger. The bullets flew out, aimed not just to disable the snipers, but to ensure that they were killed.
