Fatal Shot

Chapter 322: “Tyrant” Handgun Takes Center Stage!

“Force Guidance Chip!”

If not for this suddenly appearing message, Feng Luo would have almost forgotten the Force Guidance Chip on his body!

The purpose of the chip, which had been purchased from the equipment store at that time when he’d switched to the Agent profession, was to be able to prompt and aid the “awakening” of the Force; Feng Luo had spent an entire 1,000 Agent points at that time. Feng Luo had purchased it to see this attribute of it!

It was important to note that although his ability now was already considered supreme among players, compared to the three NPC Agents who possessed “Force,” he wasn’t even worth a mention. Even with the Ghost Weep military knife in his hand, if he hadn’t “awakened” his Force, the skills on it would have been unable to be used, and there would have been no way of unleashing the true power of this Legendary piece of equipment!

What struck Feng Luo as a bit unexpected was that after exchanging for and using the Force Guidance Chip, there hadn’t been a single reaction during his missions or his leveling up over the past half a month—until today, when two consecutive messages had suddenly popped up.

The Evolution talent is activated, and the Force Chip is activated, too! Don’t tell me, only when one’s talent is effective will the Force Chip also be effective? Hmm... It doesn’t seem right!

It was difficult for the Evolution talent to be activated even once, but the Fatal talent was activated countless times a day. Why had the Force Chip not been activated throughout this half a month?

“Hmm... Right. The level must be the reason!”

Feng Luo remembered that Haruko had seemingly hinted that players had to reach a certain level before the Force could be awakened! It seemed that this requirement must have been to reach Level 50. He had already reached full-level that afternoon. Hence, his Force Guidance Chip could now be activated! As for why his Fatal talent had not been triggered when he’d already reached full-level, perhaps the criteria of the Force Guidance Chip activation were such that a frequently triggered talent was different.

******

The triggering of the Force Chip was also the reason why Feng Luo had not attacked the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander at first chance! Because after the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander had been attacked, it had immediately ceased its Supersonic Attack. He couldn’t be certain whether his Force Guidance progress would be affected or even fail to activate.

But the current situation clearly did not allow him to hesitate any further! Because at least 20 of the Bloodthirsty Bats had already lunged into the crowd. Once these monsters of Level 40 and above—with low HP but high attack power—got in among the players, they would definitely be a fatal threat to vulnerable professions!

“Furthermore...”

Feng Luo looked in one direction, focused his vision, swiftly raised the Eye of the Thunder in his hands, and immediately pulled the trigger!

Ping!

An explosive armor-piercing bullet, carrying a faint red glow, shot toward a spot at the top of the tunnel.

Deeper in the tunnel, the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander had jumped at the chance and moved through the gigantic rolling stone that had already dissipated and the firewall, which had been annihilated by the force of the charging horde of bats. It was flying over at a speed multiple times that of the Elite-Grade Bloodthirsty Bats! During its flight, the supersonic waves from its mouth were not affected at all!

The explosive armor-piercing bullet, carrying a red tail of flames, passed through the chaotic battlefield, targeting the head of the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander!

However...

“A miss!”

Feng Luo’s expression was still composed.

He rarely missed, but this time, at such a close distance, he had actually missed! This Bloodthirsty Bat was just too fast. Plus, when the bullet of the Eye of the Thunder had been unleashed, the Bloodthirsty Bat had coincidentally leaped to the side, causing the explosive armor-piercing bullet to brush past its body, hit the wall, and burst into flames!

Within 100 meters, the closer the proximity to small targets, the higher the possibility for a Sniper to miss, especially quick-moving monsters like the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander. With just a flap of its wings, it could sail through vast distances, while the extent of the movement of a sniper rifle’s muzzle might not be able to catch up to its speed.

In addition, the supersonic skill was still taking effect; even though the effect was reduced for Feng Luo due to his Evolution talent, the resistance was, after all, not enhanced enough for there to be zero effect. Thus, this shot of Feng Luo’s did not stop the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander from closing in—it had already charged in front of the players.

“Shield Bash!”

−1022

However, in the nick of time, Rose Thorns, who had just struck down a Bloodthirsty Bat that had been on the brink of death, acted extremely quickly. She leaped up, and, with a violent swing of the shield in her hand, she blocked the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander that was about to charge!

The Shield Bash skill had a “pain” effect, attracting the “hate” of the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander. It temporarily gave up on its intentions to attack the other people, and its mouth produced even more horrifying short-distance supersonic waves as it flew quickly at Rose Thorns! The tips of its bat wings and the sharp claws on its two legs continuously clawed at the areas on Rose Thorns’ body not covered by armor!

−734

−643

−708

−647

In a mere second, Rose Thorns, a Heavy Armor Warrior suffered more than 2,500 points of damage—more than 3,000, including the supersonic waves. This attack was incredibly powerful!

But luckily, just then, a door-like golden broadsword slammed flat-side against the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander from the side with a sharp whooshing sound!

Pai!

−2345

“F*ck! Eat my slap!” Boss Meng yelled out.

The attacks of Light Armor Warriors were naturally different from those of Heavy Armor Warriors. Furthermore, this broadsword of Boss Meng’s was seemingly enhanced in attack and strength when used to “slap.” It instantly sent the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander flying violently to hit the ceiling of the tunnel!

Then everyone else, who had already finished off most of the remaining normal Bloodthirsty Bats close to them, instantly concentrated their firepower on the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander flying through the air! After all, this was the biggest threat!

−1045

−2044

−3044

A string of damage coefficients appeared above the head of the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander as it was hit by everyone’s concentrated firepower. Due to its small body, in addition to the fact that it was airborne, the creature was unable to control itself for a moment as it was struck by the force of multiple skills and bullets.

“I’ll help you recover your HP!”

Little Snow, as a Doctor, hurriedly tossed an integrated recovery pack to the Machine Gunner, who did not have an energy forcefield and had suffered a critical attack from the horde of Bloodthirsty Bats; his rock-bottom HP was instantly pulled back up by half. Plus, his debuff resistance was increased!

The biological defense of the Doctor profession wasn’t high, but the passive debuff resistance obtained through skill was the highest among all professions! Hence, even though the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander’s Supersonic Attack had persisted, the ratio of her HP drop wasn’t considered high. Plus, her dizziness and nausea weren’t all that serious—she could still save others in time! Against a monster like the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander, which had eerily high attack range, at least two Gunners or Manipulators, because they were HP-depleting professions, would definitely have died without a Doctor on the team!

But the AI of monsters of Commander-Grade and above was very high in War. The Bloodthirsty Bat Commander had its HP reduced by close to a half by the players who had made use of the chance to attack it consecutively. When it was finally free from the control of the attacks of the skills and bullets, with a flap of its bat wings, the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander transformed into a dark silhouette. It charged over in a moment and quickly landed on Little Snow’s back. Then, with a screech, its four white fangs—each as thick as chopsticks—pierced violently into Little Snow’s neck!

Little Snow was unable to react whatsoever. Continuous coefficients of “−500, −500...” appeared above her head three times per second, whereas coefficients of “+300, +300...” appeared over the Bloodthirsty Bat Commander!

“Ah!”

Little Snow was just a student. Furthermore, she was a female player. It was a challenge to her emotional limit in the first place to be in a place like this, an underground ruin, facing off against hordes of creatures like Mutant Rats, let alone Mutant Bats. And now she was in the grasp of a Bloodthirsty Bat Commander the size of a washbasin; the feeling of warm, hairy claws holding her, coupled with the pain in her neck of ice-cold fangs piercing her flesh made her scream with a pale face!

Bang!

A gunshot!

It was different from the Eye of the Thunder. This gunshot produced an ear-splitting sound like that of a heavy machine gun. It was even more terrible to human ears than the Eye of the Thunder!

−2055

Yellow weak-point damage!

The Bloodthirsty Bat Commander on the back of Little Snow’s neck had been hit on the neck by a 12.7mm handgun bullet, sending it flying two or three meters to hit the wall!

Feng Luo held in his hand a dark red gun two times the size of a normal handgun. It was a left-handed handgun with a bronze-colored body, its muzzle still smoking from being fired.

This was the Tyrant handgun—a rare handgun with the same name as the top-grade biological weapon “Tyrant” created using the T-Virus! Grade: Rare. Attack power: 700. Attack coefficient: C. Overall evaluation: Perfect! This handgun, with a 12.7mm bullet produced such a “knockback” effect that it ought to have been called a “hand cannon”!
