The shop that Sister Rui and the others had chosen to hide in was tightly sealed. It was because of this that they were able to hold off the Umbrella Corporation and the enemy players’ attacks. However, it was also because of this that Feng Luo could not find any suitable shooting position from outside, so he could only choose to run over there to execute his attack.
For a Sniper to be forced to fight a close-range battle inside a sealed shop, there was definitely no other choice. If it were anyone else, the situation would have been fine, but the mission target, Locke, absolutely could not die. Otherwise, the hard work of everyone over the past few days would all be in vain!
Feng Luo ran at full tilt. At the same time, he switched his weapons to the Desert Eagle. Although the Desert Eagle was only a Level 39 weapon, the 10 percent increase in movement speed, a rare attribute, was extremely useful in such a situation.
The zombies surrounding the shop began to converge together once again after the Heavy Armor Warrior charged inside. It was not as easy for him to charge inside. However, it was different when it came to the impact-based bullet.
With Feng Luo running at full tilt, he reached the side of the shop in less than 10 seconds. And in this short period of time, the system had already sent two notifications regarding the deaths of players on their side.
Before he reached the shop, the zombies around the shop turned around immediately and flailed their stiff arms as if they had already detected the smell of a human. They produced unintelligible sounds from their throats while their lifeless white pupils stared at Feng Luo.
After a day of infection, the zombies looked much more disgusting than they had been initially. Their bodies were not completely green and white, and it was unclear whether it was due to the fact that the blood in the body had stopped flowing or if it had simply adapted to the T-virus.
Bang!
Impatience was prominent in Feng Luo’s eyes, so he naturally did not move slowly. He raised the Desert Eagle and immediately fired a shot at the zombie horde ahead of him. A B-grade impact bullet spun and hit the body of a zombie that was blocking the entrance. After that, the powerful impact sent it, as well as another five to six zombies, flying outside. The scene greatly resembled the one in which the Heavy Armor Warrior had swung his shield and sent them flying.
If the zombies still had consciousnesses, they probably have felt quite depressed while cursing in their minds, F*ck! I’ve already died and become a monster. I even have a virus in my body, but I still have to continue to be batted aside and sent flying? What is this? What about my promised role? How did I become a walk-on character so quickly!?
Feng Luo did not pay any mind to “giving face” to these zombies. He immediately ran across the path that was cleared away and charged into the shop.
Of course, the reason he was so daring was because he already knew what was happening inside. Thanks to the vision of the Scout Beetle, he knew that there was no danger for him if he charged straight through the front door.
Inside the shop, a typical Boss battle scene was underway. The only Heavy Armor Warrior left in the Lu Conglomerate was casting his Level 40 ultimate skill, Immovable Mountain, with his shield raised as he tried to block the advances of the mutated Heavy Armor Warrior who was charging toward them with large strides.
Boom!
Heavy shields clashed against each other. It looked like a mighty duel between two players of the same profession!
However, the shield held in the hands of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s Heavy Armor Warrior—who towered over three meters and almost reaching the ceiling—rammed into the other shield with frightening force. It was like a locomotive train was colliding with a normal car.
Bang!
The Lu Conglomerate’s Heavy Armor Warrior was sent flying. On his head, the number “−2970” appeared, and his HP that had already been reduced to half from resisting all kinds of attacks from the zombies and players was instantly emptied. He turned into a flash of white light even as his body was still in the air.
Immovable Mountain was a skill that could help players withstand impacts that were around ten times their body weight, but if the hit was enough to kill the player directly, then it was also impossible for the player to remain “immovable.” The drugged, mutated Heavy Armor Warrior now had frighteningly high attack strength. He was not all that inferior to the complete state of the Tyrant before!
After taking out two players consecutively, the Heavy Armor Warrior’s attention was already on his next target, which was the person who could only use her Golden Desert Eagle to attack him due to the depletion of her machine gun ammunition: Sister Rui.
Bang, bang, bang…
Faced with the Heavy Armor Warrior charging towards her, Sister Rui remained calm. As she fired shot after shot, she quickly tried to widen the distance between them. The only problem was that the shop itself was not wide. Facing the huge Heavy Armor Warrior whose attack range reached four to five meters with his wingspan and his shield in his hand, she didn’t have many places to retreat to even if she wanted to.
Bang!
Luckily, at a critical moment, Feng Luo’s Desert Eagle rang out.
A B-grade impact bullet hit the Heavy Armor Warrior’s body with not a hair’s breadth to spare. After getting hit by the Impact Bullet, even this T-virus giant of a Heavy Armor Warrior injected with drugs could not help but retreat several steps backward. This also allowed Sister Rui to widen the distance between them.
However, even if Sister Rui widened the distance, another person was put in danger—and that person was Mu Zi!
At first, Mu Zi was still some distance away from the Heavy Armor Warrior. Moreover, he was not the first target of the opponent, so he wasn’t in much danger. However, Feng Luo’s shot had sent the Heavy Armor Warrior a few steps closer to him. And the Heavy Armor Warrior also had quick reaction speed. Although he was forced back by Feng Luo’s shot, he reversed the situation as he used the momentum generated to propel himself toward Mu Zi.
Inside this relatively small shop, Mu Zi didn’t have many places to dodge. As for Feng Luo, who was behind him, he was in a dilemma. If he were to fire another shot from his current position, he would help the Heavy Armor Warrior again!
Inside the shop, all the professions with control skills had already died. Among the remaining players, apart from Feng Luo’s B-grade bullets, none of them had any crowd control skills. The end result was that Mu Zi, who was forced into the corner, could only retaliate one last time. He pressed the trigger of the assault rifle and showered his remaining bullets on the Heavy Armor Warrior!
However, after taking the drug, this “T Giant” warrior of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group now had ridiculously high defense and HP. Even without the protection of the shield, the attacks of the assault rifle were only a bunch of 100 to 200 damage numbers. Even after emptying an entire magazine, there wasn’t much damage.
As for Mu Zi, who had emptied his assault rifle’s magazine, his neck was grabbed by an arm that was about twice his size, and he was lifted into the air.
“Mu Zi!” Feng Luo and Sister Rui both shouted and fired the Desert Eagles in their hands at the same time.
Bang! Bang!
“Haha!”
However, before Feng Luo’s impact bullet could strike him, the Heavy Armor Warrior who had turned into the “T Giant” shook his arm, and Mu Zi was flung away. His back slammed hard into a wall as the crisp sound of cracking bone could be heard.
Peng!
A number, “−1450,” appeared over Mu Zi’s head. Like the others, his HP, which was at less than half, was instantly emptied.
However, although the white light had already flashed across his body, Mu Zi still lifted his head with great effort at the end. In his eyes, he still looked expectantly at the torso of the Heavy Armor Warrior that was exposed due to the body’s expansion.
Bang!
Feng Luo’s impact bullet hit the body of the Heavy Armor Warrior. Although it pushed his body against the wall behind him and restrained him for two seconds, the damage dealt to him during that time by the remaining survivors, even at their full strength, was minimal.
Among the damage numbers that appeared overtop of the T Giant’s head, none exceeded 500!
“Motherf*cker!” said Brother Ling with his shield raised from a corner of the shop. “A player actually became as tough as a Boss? This game is way too unbalanced!”
He was the only one who did not participate in the attack because behind him was the fat director with handcuffs on his hands. He was crouched on the ground with his hands over his head while sweating profusely and trembling nonstop.
“Haha, I know!”
The Heavy Armor Warrior who was initially pushed to the corner of the wall by Feng Luo’s shots suddenly smiled, quite pleased.
He’s actually still protecting that NPC in a situation like this. This fatty must be connected to their mission! So, I’ll kill him first…
The smile suddenly disappeared. After that, the Heavy Armor Warrior raised the shield that was in front of him and relied on the reactive force generated from the wall. He pushed against the wall with his feet and charged toward Brother Ling and Director Locke.
“Get out of here, quick!” Brother Ling shouted as he kicked the fat director behind him.
However, Locke, who was sweating all over the place, only knew how to cower in a corner at that moment. He did not even stand.
“Damn it!” Brother Ling shouted. He had no choice. He could only raise the alloy longsword in his hand, cast a skill, and do his best. But in a situation like this, clearly, no one felt that they could stop the charge of the enemy.
However, at that moment, something happened that no one expected. The Heavy Armor Warrior, who was initially charging forward with a raised shield, suddenly staggered. Then, immediately after that, the second-to-last impact bullet in Feng Luo’s magazine sent him flying. The alloy shield even fell out of his hand.
Bang!
−1266
−2244
Hmm?
Feng Luo felt odd. The damage was much higher than before, and the T Giant’s reaction after getting hit was also very clearly different from before.
What’s going on?!
The Heavy Armor Warrior who was originally rampaging all around was suddenly in a panic. He was half-crouched on the ground beside the wall. His originally huge body seemed to have lost some support and was currently shrinking. His bones were changing shape while his muscles shrank, and at the same time, the strength in his body…
When he lowered his head, he saw a light-green, screw-like syringe pierced in a spot on his abdomen, the serum within it already injected into his body.
“What is this? How can this…?”
His face was filled with confusion. Clearly, he did not even know when this thing had been stuck into him.
On the other side, Feng Luo was also a little shocked.
This serum… he thought. It looks familiar! Isn’t this the anti-T-virus serum? Then, Mu Zi…
Previously, just to be safe, Feng Luo had given the antivirus serum that Lin gave him to Mu Zi and Sister Rui before the retreat. He didn’t know that Mu Zi had not used it all this time but had instead used it in the battle just now—injecting it into the Heavy Armor Warrior’s body.
Moreover, it had caused an unexpected effect!
But aren’t players restricted by the system when it comes to using potions or drugs directly on another player, unless it’s a mission item? Moreover, how would Mu Zi know that this serum would be useful…?
Although Feng Luo still had some questions, he knew that he could only clear things up by asking Mu Zi himself after they returned. Right now, the most important thing was to…
Bang!
