Fatal Shot Chapter 221

Chapter 221 - Death Hunter Island

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

You have entered Death Hunter Island. Upon death on this island, all your unlocked items will not be reclaimable (including trophies earned)!

Under the moonlight appearing and disappearing through the dark clouds in the chilly night, Feng Luo held his breath as he observed the surroundings, realizing that his landing point was not bad at all. He hadn’t landed on trees, where he would have easily gotten stuck, but had directly landed on an open beach on the edge of the island.

Luckily, this beach was unlike that of Silverleaf Island from before, which had been the dwelling place of Mutant Sand Scorpions with a horrifying “blinding” neurotoxin. If so, in his equipment-naked state, he would have likely been in a highly life-threatening situation!

However, although unaware of the density and grade of the monsters on this island, Feng Luo believed that many players were verbally scolding the system at that moment.

Other than some of the unlucky fellows who might have landed in clusters of monsters, more of them would definitely complain without end after seeing the system message which had just flashed past.

Unlocked items would actually be destroyed straight after death! This was undoubtedly an extremely ridiculous rule.

In this case, once a player died, the loss would not just be a level of experience and a relatively low rate of the destruction of some random equipment, as previously assumed. It would be absolute destruction upon death!

Losing all those items would definitely be heartbreaking to the players! Because throughout the game, players would choose to unlock the strongest equipment on them. After all, to survive until the last day, one couldn’t just rely on a bunch of garbage equipment to defeat his enemies, could he?

“So the problem is this…” Feng Luo said with a calm face as he quickly undid the parachute equipment on him. “In order to get the reward at the end, the most valuable equipment must be unlocked. But if the most valuable equipment is unlocked, the loss upon death will be the most substantial…”

“Energy crystals and energy crystal cores worth billions of credits. A mission with such bountiful reward—how would the risk possibly be small? But I didn’t expect that the system would give the notice only at this time. Some players might already be thinking of backing out… Besides, dying once and losing one level of experience is nothing much, but if the best equipment were lost, it would be absolutely devastating!”

The structure of the parachute equipment was a little complex, secured on the back like a backpack. Feng Luo’s speed in undoing it was very fast, and he was already almost half done.

“But with this, it would definitely aggravate the intention of players to kill one another. After all, a rare piece of equipment is worth just hundreds of thousands of credits. In this game, the reward for killing a player is far greater than that of fighting monsters on typical days.”

Feng Luo thought about this. His parachute equipment had already been undone to the last part, left only with a bit above the shoulder.

“Huh? What!?”

Just then, Feng Luo suddenly exclaimed, as the parachute equipment undone to the last part underwent an unexpected transformation all of a sudden.

With a soft kacha, two gray-colored metallic semicircles suddenly extended from the shoulder section of the parachute equipment on his back and closed around his neck, forming a ring-like device!

“F*ck! What’s going on?”

A look of shock appeared on Feng Luo’s face, and he reached up to grab the metallic-like ring on his neck, feeling its cold surface.

“A bit of a surprise, right, player?”

At that moment, it was as if the metal ring had come alive. It projected a small, semi-transparent virtual screen in the air in front of him. The wrinkle-faced army officer in black uniform from before appeared on the screen, wearing a smirk on his face.

“A reminder. You must not attempt to remove this intelligent collar. Because if you attempt to destroy or remove it, the mini high-energy crystal bombs stored inside will explode. Even though there are only 10 mini bombs inside, they are definitely enough to blow your whole neck apart.”

“Humph! So insidious!”

Feng Luo understood, loosening his hand on the collar.

“Perhaps you might feel angry. But once you have learned the many benefits and capabilities of this collar, you ought to be thanking us! This collar is the only tool y’all get in accepting the mission and is also your survival map on this island. It records the rationing locations and includes detailed regions of the distribution of dangerous creatures on the island… but the rationing will only be airdropped at specific intervals!”

“Thanks…” A somewhat cold smile appeared at the side of Feng Luo’s mouth.

The expression of the wrinkle-faced, black-uniformed army officer on the screen gave one the urge to give him a punch. However, the map’s capabilities should, indeed, be pretty useful. After all, he now shouldn’t have had anything to fear of the other players. But in this default “equipment-naked” state, even a Level-30 Elite monster was quite capable of taking his life, so the “monster distribution” capability of the map was naturally extremely useful!

“Right, one serious reminder. When you open the map, please find a safe position, as all the surrounding people will be able to directly see your position from the map during that time!”

The wrinkle-faced, black-uniformed army officer’s smirk widened as he said this.

In front of the screen, Feng Luo creased his forehead slightly. This map capability was clearly a sickening plot, actually meant to increase the violence of this great death escape game! By looking at the map, one would be discovered by the game participants in the surrounding region. By not looking at the map, one would die an even worse death if he were to cluelessly barge into a cluster of monsters!

But if one were to stay put on the spot, wouldn’t there be no need for the map?

“Again, a reminder to y’all. Although the mission lasts for a total of three days, at 12:00 noon each day, weak participants with points that are too low to reach the requirement will be eliminated. It is now 3:00 a.m. If you do not even have 20 newly earned killing points by 12:00 noon today, then you do not deserve to continue in this game, and that little thing on your neck will automatically explode!”

“By the way, I’d just like to say that the requirement for the first day is actually very undemanding. You will only need to kill any one person to satisfy the 20 least points. Now, y’all still have nine hours of time!”

Clearly, Yamamoto Ichiro had already considered this point.

This last line was undoubtedly the cruelest rule. One couldn’t choose to not kill people, because not killing others similarly meant one’s own death!

“Since you’ve joined this game, you must abide by the rules, mustn’t you?” An even more sinister smile appeared on the wrinkle-faced army officer’s face on the screen before the whole image vanished.

With a ka sound, the parachute equipment was finally completely dismantled from Feng Luo’s body. But the icy-cold collar on his neck was a clearly a reminder to every participant of the death game: Do not try to escape this island, as the organizer has the ability to easily cause your death!

“I don’t know if the Federal Agent Department higher-ups already knew that Yamamoto Ichiro would come up with such a move. An assassination mission—not before everyone has been played dead!”

But regarding this point, Feng Luo was actually not too worried. Logically, the system should not really allow players to be blown up by NPCs unless it was a mission failure.

Now was not the time to ponder this. The more important thing now was clearly to make reasonable use of the default 300 points-unlocked equipment and skills to harvest the prey on this darkness-engulfed “death island”!
