Chapter 154: Breakout (Part 7)

Behind the zombie horde, Feng Luo held his M110 and cast Quick Sneak on the dimly lit street before silently moved toward the shop the two Light Armor Warriors were hiding inside.

On his shoulder, 24K, who was painted completely black by Feng Luo using camouflage paint, used six of its claws to clench tightly on his tactical vest, conveying its somewhat depressed mood to him through the mental link. On the other side of the mental link, a fingernail-sized, half-transparent Scout Beetle was quietly staring at the two Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group Light Armor Warriors through its needle-sized eyes while hanging on the ceiling of the shop quietly.

Infected Scout Beetle

Level: 12

Grade: Normal

HP: 600

MP: 60

Maximum Mental Link Distance: 360m

Maximum Flight Speed: 12m/s

Talent: Camouflage

Skills: Mental Link (Passive); Infection (Usage Count 1/1)

The hatched Scout Beetle had a lower level. It was only Level 12, but among its attributes was one that surprised Feng Luo: the word “infected” written on the information board.

Clearly, this was because it had been incubated from a Golden Python infected by the T-virus, so the Scout Beetle actually had the T-virus inside its body after it hatched. However, being infected by the T-virus did not increase its basic stats significantly or change it substantially; there was simply an additional one-time skill called “Infection” in the skill window.

It was important to note that a Normal-grade Scout Beetle only had the passive skill “Mental Link,” and they could use this to exchange more in-depth information with 24K—unlike other beetles—and they did not have any other skills.

The skill called “Infection” was undoubtedly something that it had obtained after integrating with the T-virus. As for the skill’s effects, in the condition where the Scout Beetle injected the virus into the body of the opponent, there was a certain probability for the target to be infected by the T-virus (depending on the resistance of the target’s body). However, the skill could only be used once.

Although the basic stats of the Scout Beetle were a lot lower than the Elite-grade Scout Beetle from before, it wasn’t difficult for it to monitor the two Light Armor Warriors who did not have any detection abilities.

The two Light Armor Warriors wouldn’t have even dreamed that they, who had originally found Feng Luo’s position based on the monitoring information obtained by the Umbrella Corporation, would be monitored by Feng Luo, and that every action taken and every word spoken by them would be known to him—through a method they could never have conceived of.

“What do we do now?” Upon hearing the sound of the communicator hanging up, one of them looked helplessly at the other.

“Delay!” the other said mercilessly.

“In this situation, if we choose to run, we’ll never be able to face the others when we get back. More importantly, we won’t be able to explain ourselves to Boss Roaring Dragon Light Wind!”

“That’s why we’ll keep delaying him like this. Wait until we replenish some HP and we’ll see. I don’t believe that a Sniper like him would dare to enter this room to initiate close-quarters combat with us.”

Feng Luo, who was walking in the darkness toward the place, heard this through the Scout Beetle, and he was initially stunned.

“Boss Roaring Dragon Light Wind… What a familiar name!”

However, after that, the corner of his mouth curled upward as he smirked slightly. If it had been someone else, he probably wouldn’t have thought about it too much and would have treated this as just another mission. But Roaring Dragon Light Wind?

“Looks like, no matter what, I’ll have to complete this mission!”

As he pondered, he cast Quick Sneak and initiated the disguise function on his rare combat uniform.

By then, the person who had made the monitoring of the Umbrella Corporation fail the most, Feng Luo, had already reached the door of the shop the two Light Armor Warriors were hiding. He crouched and moved to the window that he had broken earlier, then took something out of his tactical vest with his left hand.

With a simple shake of the hand, a black cylindrical item was thrown inside the shop.

“Kuang Tang.”

“What is tha—!”

A shout came from within the shop before thick smoke quickly filled the entire house. The two players started coughing.

“F*ck! A smoke grenade!” one of the Light Armor Warriors shouted, even though this sort of shouting had no meaning whatsoever.

The shop was quickly filled with smoke, turning his already limited vision in the dark completely black. The Warrior who had lost his sight was turning around dizzily—like a bird that had fallen into a lake. As for Feng Luo, who switched to the unique vision of the Scout Beetle, wasn’t really affected by it.

Ding!

The locked door of the shop was broken by Feng Luo with a gunshot. After that, he entered through the door before raising his gun and shooting in one direction.

Bang!

−2711

The Light Armor Warrior whose helmet’s degree of damage was already at 100 percent was hit directly at the point of a previous wound. After nearly 3,000 points of lethal damage appeared, his head looked upward, then he dropped heavily on the ground. Blood flowed from the back of his head across the ground.

“Bring it on!”

The other Light Armor Warrior knew clearly that right now, there was no way out, so he forced himself to determine the location of the enemy through hearing and ran a few steps forward. With his alloy longsword raised, he pushed away some debris blocking his way while rushing toward Feng Luo, who stood at the door.

However, the M110 that had the Perfect Gun Magazine installed had a firing rate of only about one second between shots. How could Feng Luo give him time to close in?

Bang!

The double armor-piercing round triggered the “Electricity” effect that had a low trigger probability and flew toward the Light Armor Warrior who was rushing forward while rotating at high speed. At the same time, as it landed between the eyes of the Light Armor Warrior and produced a Final Hit, it blew his head to pieces.

Feng Luo had intentionally aimed the two shots at their heads. Although players and NPCs had different measurement criteria when receiving damage, it was harder to generate disabilities in players in particular when attacking. But if it were a Final Hit, under the gory visual mode, it could really create an extremely realistic visual effect. As such, blowing up a player’s head was entirely possible. And the reason Feng Luo had targeted their heads was, naturally, to prevent the two of them from becoming zombies like the previous Sniper.

After that came the system notification, which proved that his guess was correct.

Player Feng Luo killed two enemy players. Reduce mission requirement of defending the town by one hour. Current time remaining to defend Roguetown: Three hours and 11 minutes!

Killing the Sniper earlier had not generated a notification like this. It meant that the system did not recognize that he had thoroughly killed the Sniper player. As for the two right now, they had been truly killed.

Killing enemy players to reduce the total defense time—this was a notification that the system sent to all the players of the Lu Conglomerate when the first enemy player died. It informed them of the hidden condition to reduce the total time of defense. So, killing the enemy meant that they could escape Roguetown before the explosion, which also meant that it would not cause them to fail the mission. As such, killing enemy players was an important task.

As for the player who was the first to receive the notification about killing the enemy player on their side, it was Sha Lang, who had disappeared a long time ago! Of course, technically, this should have been Feng Luo. However, he had accidentally overlooked the probability of the Sniper being turned into a zombie after being infected by the T-virus. As such, he had failed to obtain the honor of drawing “first blood.”

Apart from that, the second player to kill an enemy player was actually Brother Ling. The captain who seemed a little out of place sometimes had succeeded in saving face and regaining some respect this time.

Of course, along with kills naturally came death. They had killed four enemies while five had died on their side.

Including 100,000 Volts, an Earth Manipulator, and the male player who had brought Lin Aotian into the Guard Bureau, a total of five players had been killed by the enemy.

In fact, if Feng Luo hadn’t single-handedly gotten rid of the two players, the total death count on both sides would have actually been two to five.

The huge difference in data was due to the fact that half of them were not really adept at PK. Secondly, it was because the enemy had the initiative while they were mostly passive and reactive. However, as long as Feng Luo could join the battle on time right now, he would be able to cause a lot of trouble for the enemy and shift the scales of victory, as a Sniper was extremely powerful in a city like this.

That was why, after Feng Luo picked up some of the useful supplies dropped by the dead players, he quickly equipped the M110 and left after waiting for only around half a minute to ensure that the two dead players did not show any signs of resurrecting.

The two players had dropped quite a lot of stuff. In particular, one of the Light Armor Warriors had actually dropped a Level-44 Excellent-grade belt, which was estimated to be worth a few thousand credits. In this case, considering that he had used two B-grade bullets, Feng Luo hadn’t lost much money in this battle.

Just as Feng Luo walked out of the shop, a strong gust of wind suddenly appeared, sending debris and trash in the street flying everywhere. After that, a light suddenly flashed in the sky above him, illuminating the initially dark sky. After a two-second delay, a loud roll of thunder rumbled. The rain finally started to pour from the dark sky after thunder’s roar.
