Eva started falling, her flight out of control. Without delay, I moved right below her, diving to catch her before she crashed against solid ground.
"Eva!" I called out, popping her helmet open to reveal her pale, strained face, while shaking her body lightly.
As I waited for her response, I examined the wound. It was a clean shot—straight through her right chest, piercing the powered suit's armor like paper. If her body had been mirrored, the impact would've been right where the heart was. This kind of accurate "mistake" wasn't something ordinary.
'Smart Laser Rifle!'
A specialized type of laser weapon outfitted with advanced AI targeting modules, capable of predicting target movement. Once locked on, you could zigzag all you want—there's practically no avoiding the hit.
That means as soon as we flew up and entered the rifle's range, we became targets!
"Stop… shouting..."
