Fatal Shot

Chapter 234: Unlocked: Barrett

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

Unlock Python of Death?

This equipment is a Level 45 rare sniper rifle, required killing points for unlock: 400 points!

“Unlocked!”

Feng Luo, hidden in the lush bushes hanging down a distance above the large rock, retrieved a long black gun case from inside his backpack. 10 seconds later, a ferocious-looking, dark gray sniper rifle, seemingly radiating killing energy, appeared in a complete state in his hands.

Python of Death: “Barrett”!

Even if a full Level-50 sniper rifle were to have appeared now, this was still the favorite Rare-grade sniper rifle of countless Snipers!

Actually, along with the kills of the previous night, Feng Luo’s killing points were already sufficient enough to unlock either one of the two Rare sniper rifles on him. But Feng Luo had been hesitant as to whether or not he should choose the Eye of the Thunder or the Barrett.

Come to think of it, the Eye of the Thunder built by him and evaluated by the system as “Perfect” was slightly superior in terms of overall attributes compared to the Barrett, which had only been evaluated as “Normal”!

In addition to its originally doubled shooting speed, the efficiency of slaying monsters would be higher. As such, Feng Luo was used to having the Eye of the Thunder as his number-one choice of weapon!

However, in this situation, it was not about slaying monsters but slaying people!

The people who had joined this mission—regardless of whether they were players or NPCs or the rebel army—were not the kind of low-intelligence monsters that would instantly run and hide upon being hit by one shot.

Also, the battlefield on this island was full of trees and weeds, making it very easy to find positions for cover. When a shot did not kill the opponent, it was very likely for the enemy to escape and even counterattack. Therefore, Feng Luo had, at last, decided to unlock the Barrett, which had more than 800 attack and, thus, a “C” grade attack coefficient and an effective damage distance of a whole 1,500 meters!

With such a great killing machine—in a situation in which most of the “players” of this battle royale game were still in an “equipment-naked” state—in such a life-threatening situation, Feng Luo had secured a one-shot kill!

But in order to prevent the gunshot sounds and the gunfire from exposing his position for an ambush, he specially attached the silencer in the gun case. This silencer had a negative attribute of “reducing 15 percent damage and maximum shooting distance,” affecting, to a certain extent, the performance of the sniper rifle! But, as a Sniper, concealment while shooting was clearly more important!

******

“There are already only 33 people left?”

Feng Luo was hidden on top of a large rock a whole 17 to 18-meter height from the surface of the sea. It would be very hard for him to be discovered from below.

Once the Barrett had been propped up, the time for the second announcement of the people whose positions had been exposed was already there. On the minimalistic map of the island, the blinking red lights this time had actually been reduced by a third!

In less than a short five minutes’ time, the 50 randomly selected people had already seen 17 killed. The “horror” in the situation of having one’s position exposed in this game was clearly evident!

“But this is also a piece of ‘good news’!”

Looking through the sniper rifle scope, Feng Luo was looking for the “targets” in his sight from above! It was a piece of good news, as the fewer people whose positions had been exposed were still alive, the more people would clearly be focused on targeting where they were.

It was not like that during the first five minutes, when there had been no one coming over due to the beach being located near the edge. However, with this second announcement, Feng Luo believed that there were already people who could not wait to put their necks into the noose!

Well, then, he only needed to continue anticipating!

“Hmm? They’ve really come?”

10 seconds later, Feng Luo’s eyes lit up. Looking down from above, he could see the situation below.

At that moment, from the forest on the inner side of the beach, which appeared emptier when viewed from above, a humanoid silhouette holding an alloy longsword in its hand was advancing toward the beach!

This person was very slim and tall, wore a chest plate, shoulder guards, and a few other pieces of equipment, and was quiet as he ran. However, he did not charge straight onto the beach but suddenly stepped up onto a tree trunk just as he was about to run out of the forest. After which, his body made use of the momentum and leaped to the trunk of another tree.

After jumping a few times from two nearby trees, the silhouette had leaped onto a bigger branch of a tree five or six meters from the ground! Thereafter, he hid behind the tree, spreading open the dense leaves that blocked his sight. With a pair of eyes with pupils different from those of typical people, he observed the situation on the beach!

“No way. Could it be that I’m really an enemy of the rebel army?”

Feng Luo realized that he did not know whether to call his luck good or bad. The first target of this ambush was a rebel beast warrior!

Also, it was clearly a Light Armor Warrior and was highly likely to have “beastified” genes similar to the one he’d met the day before.

But this was actually understandable. Although there were 50 people having their positions directly exposed, most of the players would definitely still be cautious in their actions. After all, they were still uncertain if they could even defeat this prey. Would it be possible to not be able to kill it, only to give advantage to others?

By contrast, the rebel beast warrior who had made use of his night vision to gain an upper hand yesterday night was undoubtedly able to be a lot more ruthless. Though the scope of the sniper rifle, Feng Luo even saw that there were fresh bloodstains on the alloy longsword held by this rebel beast warrior.

Very clearly, this “beastified” Elite Warrior had just killed some “prey”! However, he would not have thought that he had, at that moment, similarly become “prey” in someone else’s eyes!

Ping!

The sound produced by the silencer-equipped “Python of Death” was as light and low as opening a beer bottle.

A normal armor-piercing bullet that cost five killing points was instantly shot spinning toward the “beastified” Elite warrior who had just emerged, at a negative angle of 30 degrees from the camouflaged bushes.

Shoo!

In Feng Luo’s magnified sight through the scope, the spinning bullet passed through multiple tree branches and leaves obstructing the line of sight and even brushed past the edge of a tree with a mere gap of a millimeter, leaving only its whooshing, air-cutting sound in its tracks!

But it was clear that the rebel Elite beast warrior—who’d displayed a series of actions in the style of a Wulin master before—didn’t have the “location detection by listening to the wind” ability of a Wulin master, which would have allowed him to dodge the bullet! Because even with the effect of the silencer, the speed of the sniper bullet still greatly exceeded the speed of sound!

Ping!

The 12.7mm large-caliber bullet was only a normal one, without any additional attribute enhancement, but under the enhancement of the base C-grade attack coefficient of Barrett, it could nonetheless effortlessly blow out an enemy’s brains if unprotected by a helmet.

The spinning bullet hit slightly to the left of the center of the rebel beast warrior’s eyebrows. The immense impact straight away blew out half the brains of the rebel beast warrior.

−5644

A bright red damage coefficient appeared! Even redder than the bloodstained sword in his hand!

The large-caliber bullet, which had, incredibly, fulfilled its true purpose, did not stop flying after blowing up half the head of the rebel beast warrior. It penetrated straight through the trunk of the tree behind him—which was wide enough for several people to have collectively wrapped their arms around—leaving a bullet hole ringed with blood and brain juice!

It was the rare special attribute of the Python of Death Barrett: “bullets shot have a 15 percent rate of displaying the ‘penetration’ effect, causing 50 percent damage to the subsequent target!”

Peng!

The corpse of the rebel beast warrior with half its brain lost fell straight from the tree, after which, it was engulfed by the dense cover of various sorts of shrubs below. If not within a close range of several meters, people from outside definitely would not be able to see that there was a fallen body.
