Fatal Shot

Chapter 528: Energy Bomb

“Earl!” Upon hearing his pet’s wailing squeal, Young Master Xing became anxious.

He quickly grabbed a silver sci-fi style pistol with his right hand from behind cover, aimed it at the Commander Grade mutated bat falling to the ground after being swarmed by the Bladed Beetles based on the direction of the sound, and fired a shot.

“Boom!”

A bullet emitting a red glow exited the barrel of the pistol. The bullet landed on a Bladed Beetle that was on the Commander Grade bat’s body before exploding into a bright and fiery flame that engulfed the other three Bladed Beetles as well as the pet bat.

“-2045!”

“-455, -1245, -1195, -1243...”

Apart from the Commander Grade which received reduced damage due to friendly fire, the damage value appearing above the four Bladed Beetles were in the thousands.

Among the four Bladed Beetles, the one that was directly hit by the bullet also received the single-target damage as well as the extra area-of-effect damage, and as such, its HP dropped over 70%.

The pistol of the wealthy Young Master Xing was most likely a Legendary Grade weapon, and it was possible that he was using B-Grade bullets.

This person was really willing to spend money.

“Wind Blade Combo!”

Among the four remaining Rebel Army Camp players, there was one other Wind Manipulator as well as two Heavy Armor Warriors.

When Young Master Xing initiated his attack, the Wind Manipulator had also, with an energy shield protecting himself, popped his head from the cover and waved his hand, shooting over 20 light-green energy wind blades towards Feng Luo and Onishi.

The Wind Manipulator’s Level 25 skill, Wind Blade Combo.

From the number of blades, it seemed like the familiarity level was not low.

Feng Luo did not seem to have any intent to dodge when facing the scattered wind blade combos. When five or six wind blades landed on the shield created by the Energy Beetles around Feng Luo’s chest, the blades bounced off as if they were bullets.

“Ta, ta, ta...”

“-782, -1356, -1367...”

Similarly, Onishi did not pay much attention to the wind blades. As a Scout, he had long recognized the enemy’s plan of action.

Just before the wind blades were shot out, he had already dodged sideways to avoid them.

Onishi’s S-Grade Talent increased his character’s attack and speed stats depending on the environment; the darker it was, the higher the increase. As for the Death Dance submachine gun he was holding, it also provided him with a 50% movement speed bonus. After activating his Advanced Level rare movement speed boosting skill, normal skills without a certain amount of foresight would have no chance to hit him.

On the contrary, when he moved, he fired another shot combo using the submachine gun he was holding.

The first three of five shots directly broke through the manipulator’s energy shield, then the remaining two shots took out almost 3,000 of the manipulator’s HP.

Following that, Feng Luo’s Death Star also added two more shots on the Wind Manipulator. Even though the Wind Manipulator received a full set of high-class Rare Grade gears gifted by Roaring Dragon Light Wind for obtaining the qualifications for them to take part in the mission, he had also lost two-thirds of his HP in just one second.

“F*ck! The enemy’s attack damage is too insane!” The Wind Manipulator quickly retreated with less than one-third of his HP left. He used the cover created by the room’s simulated spacecraft environment to block the shooting angle of the two gunners across him.

“Onishi is one of the enemies. He has my Death Dance, so of course, his damage is high!” Young Master Xing gritted his teeth and quickly extended his hand sideways and fired another shot.

However, at that moment, he saw a system popup telling him that his pet had died.

It had not been ten seconds since he summoned his pet, and his Commander Grade pet, which cost him several million star coins, had died.

“A Commander Grade pet is not enough, I will definitely spend tens of millions next time to get myself a Quasi-Boss!” Young Master Xing complained in his mind constantly while attacking.

By then, the two Heavy Armor Warriors raising their alloy shields to protect Young Master Xing were almost at their limits.

Since they began by protecting Young Master Xing during the retreat, they had to raise their alloy shield all the time. As a result, they had not yet equipped their armor; they were also constantly being battered by the fire, and up against Feng Luo and Onishi’s attack, their HP was decreasing very quickly.

“We are the hotel’s VIP. The security guards will surely come and lend us their aid. We only need to endure another 20 seconds...” Young Master Xing was very smart. At that time, he could still think of such an idea. However, before he could finish his sentence, he stopped halfway.

The cover in front of the four suddenly changed shape. It then dissolved to become multiple blocks before shrinking back into the ground.

“Star Galaxy spacecraft environment simulation canceled. Returning to the classical layout.” The intelligent system of the Emperor Suite said.

The initially dark environment suddenly had a surge of light. The scene brightened and in the vision of the four players, the face of a gunner holding a red and black military knife with a faint smile appeared before their eyes.

Additionally, there was a ghost-like figure closing in on them, as well as a bewitching Light Armor Warrior who had seemed to already cast Thunder Leap Slash descending upon them.

...

After ten seconds, Young Master Xing lay on the ground once more, the hate on his face was even more pronounced than last time.

The only consolation for him was probably that his karma was not so bad that he lost another Legendary Grade gear. The only thing shining beside his corpse was that SUV tactical gloves.

“But it is still pretty good. These people only drop Rare Grade items. The total value should be at least 1.8 million credits. Moreover, there’s also the camp and mission points...” Phoenix giggled while looking at the surroundings.

The ten Rebel Army Camp players inside the room had all died in battle.

Every dead player dropped one or two items. Although the dropped loot were not high-value gears, their total value was still quite considerable.

“Old Feng, how should we deal with this guy?” However, the money-loving Big Pineapple did not have time to pick up the items this time.

He was holding the middle-aged NPC’s collar while pressing him against the wall using his alloy shield, not allowing the NPC to move even a little bit.

Big Pineapple was originally charging in to help beat the enemies, but Feng Luo suddenly remembered something and asked him to change his course to restrain the middle-aged NPC instead.

From the NPC’s previous behavior, he might be an advanced NPC with the Force.

However, the result was, yet again, unexpected. The NPC actually lost to Big Pineapple almost instantly. He did not even try to resist.

“I’ve got nothing to do with this! Nothing to do with this!” After witnessing the death of all the Rebel Army Camp players, the middle-aged NPC pressed on the wall by Big Pineapple seemed to have soiled himself as a puddle of water began to gather on the ground beneath him.

“If you’re so afraid of death, why did you even become a spy for the Rebel Army?” Big Pineapple lightened the force he was applying to the shield as he looked a little bit puzzled.

“Spy? Rebel Army spy? No, I am not from the Rebel Army, not to mention being a spy. I am a citizen of the Federation. I am a law-abiding citizen of the Federation!” The middle-aged man quickly shouted after hearing Big Pineapple’s words, as if he had found a ray of hope.

“Federation citizen?” Feng Luo, Onishi, and Phoenix glanced at each other. After that, Feng Luo intentionally laughed coldly and said, “Act! Keep on acting! Why would a citizen of the Federation appear here right now, and say those things to the members of the Rebel Army?”

“I’m not acting! Sir, I really am a citizen of the Federation and not a spy for the Rebel Army!” The middle-aged NPC shouted. Even the sunglasses on his face had been squeezed on his face. He was sweating profusely as fear filled his eyes.

“I am an employee of the municipal government. When I was driving back home after work, my mind suddenly felt dizzy, and then after that, I became groggy. Then, a voice kept ringing in my mind, it instructed me to send the suitcase on my backseat here... As for the things that I said earlier... I... I don’t know why I would say that, it is as if I had no control of my mouth...” The middle-aged NPC was pressed so hard against the wall by Big Pineapple that he seemed breathless when speaking.

“Suitcase? Do you mean this encoded suitcase? Could it be that their mission info is hidden inside?” Big Pineapple’s shield was still pressed against the middle-aged NPC. However, when he spoke, he kicked at the silver encoded suitcase beside the both of them using his alloy combat boots.

“Don’t...” Feng Luo quickly said.

However, it was too late, the moment Big Pineapple’s leg touched the suitcase...

The silver password-protected suitcase suddenly burst open from the middle. A metallic pipe-like item appeared. A light-blue crystal was imbued at the center of the item.

Immediately after, the crystal cracked before they could react.

“F*ck me!” Big Pineapple could only say this before he retracted his alloy shield and placed it in front of him between him and the item.

“Boom!”

A bright and bluish-white energy sphere emerged in the middle of the room. Along with the energy sphere came a frightening shockwave that spread all across the room, devouring any and everything it came into contact with.
