Fatal Shot

“Yes, two enemies.”

“One 83 meters away, and the other 146 meters away.”

Feng Luo scanned the map once and determined the distance of the two from him without looking at the coordinates.

“The target, which is farther away, is located just outside the active area of an Elite monster. It could be dangerous if the monster were to be startled from combat! Then I’ll choose the closest one as my target... Huh. The map marked specifically that this is a grassy plain? Is this a special intent of the organizer?”

Before Feng Luo could finish his soft whispers, he noticed that the black dot farther away had turned into a triangle, and it was running quickly toward the closer black dot!

“Looks like I’m not the only one who is always confident! However, I wonder if any one of them is a beast-modified person from the rebel army?”

Feng Luo looked a bit stunned, but after that, he had an idea. He smirked and opened the virtual map. Then he charged toward the black dot that was not moving.

******

“Sh*t. I can’t be that unlucky, can I!?”

Around 70 meters away from Feng Luo’s original position, a Sniper who had just taken off his parachute getup opened the map and stared at the two black triangles charging at him from his left and his right.

His face soured. His current position was a wide, grassy plain filled with grass that grew to half a person’s height. There was no hard cover available. As for the speed of those two black dots, he did not need to think much before determining that he didn’t have enough time to escape this large grassy area!

“F*ck!”

He highly suspected that his current landing position had been set up specifically by the system. Otherwise, how could there have been such a coincidence? The surroundings were forested, yet his location was amid vast, empty grasslands.

“F*ck! You motherf*ckers really think that I’m your prey?!”

The Sniper only hesitated for less than a second, then displayed vicious determination. After that, he opened his backpack and grabbed a large silver pistol from within.

“I knew I had to be prepared, depending on the situation, which is why I didn’t listen to that NPC. I unlocked my equipment when I was still on the cargo plane. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to deal with this situation!”

Although the Sniper sounded fierce and aggressive, in truth, his heart was heavy. The pistol was a Level-40 Excellent-grade weapon. Unlocking it had cost him a total of 280 kill points. In addition, every bullet cost four kill points. He had spent all of his 300 initial kill points, but that couldn’t even fill the magazine of the pistol, which had a capacity of seven rounds.

Spending all 300 of his points also meant that once these bullets were spent, unless he managed to gain something in the process, he would no longer be able to continue with the mission! After all, although Snipers could engage in melee combat, they still needed to prepare military knives, daggers, or some other short weapons in advance.

“F*ck!”

These two bastards... As long as I can get rid of one of them, I will be able to earn points to unlock new bullets.

The Sniper made his plans as he moved quickly toward a grassy mound that offered a slightly higher vantage point.

That’s why I should try my best to get rid of one of them before considering the other one! Although I’ve lost my equipment and skills bonus, everyone is in the same “naked” situation. If I can continuously hit three or four shots, it won’t be difficult to take out an enemy!

Moreover, it’s not necessary for me to get rid of them both. Clearly, in a dark environment like this, apart from Snipers and Scouts, the other professions will have substantial visual impairments resulting in a disadvantage! I just need to close my map and hide well. They might fight among themselves first. Or perhaps one will grow wary and retreat!

The Sniper’s mind raced as he considered the many possibilities. As a player who had qualified to take part in this “Battle Royale,” he was not a normal, low-level player who only knew how to spam skills to hunt monsters. It was important to note that his Illegal Points and Criminal Points never went below 300, and before the system update, he had been a regular visitor of the Town of Exiles. He’d spent half his time in the game as a red-name player. As such, PKing was just business as usual to him!

His map was already closed; the glow emanated by the virtual map would expose his location in a dark environment like this. However, just by relying on the data he’d obtained from the map, he knew that one of his enemies had already arrived.

As expected, before a second passed, by listening very carefully, he was able to hear footsteps coming from the forest directly in front of him. By relying on the moonlight—shining down from a moon that was no longer covered by clouds—and being a Sniper with enhanced vision, he was able to see a shadow holding a longsword creeping out of the forest.

“Sh*t. What is this?”

However, as he saw the shadow, and his gaze met a set of cold and green eyes, glowing under the moonlight.

The Sniper looked stunned for a brief moment. The city where he was from wasn’t connected to the rebel army’s region, so he had never encountered the rebel army during his normal missions. As such, he hesitated at the sight of this player’s appearance.

However, even though he failed to react, his experience in PKing helped him choose to wait calmly instead of initiating the attack on this anomaly, who was highly likely to be a Light Armor Warrior. He knew, based on the positions indicated on the map that he had consulted just now, that the other enemy was running toward this location!

It would be best if the two of them discovered each other and fought first, thought the Sniper. Then I could make my appearance and clean up the survivor. That would be for the best!

However, he did not consider one fact: In an environment with moonlight, a genetically modified beast warrior from the rebel army actually had better vision than a Sniper—even one with enhanced visual perception like him.

“Hoo!”

Out in the forest, the anomaly with glowing green eyes actually stared straight at the position of the Sniper after a brief moment. It was as if he had discovered his presence!

F*ck! the Sniper cursed in his mind.

After that, he did not hesitate and raised his right arm. He aimed the silver pistol at the sword-wielding shadow and pulled the trigger.

He did not know why this guy had glowing eyes or if he had used them to find him. However, as a Sniper, he did know one thing; after his location was exposed by a Light Armor Warrior, who was a Sniper’s nemesis within 30 meters, the only choice was to fight back in full force!

Moreover, this was in a situation in which they were practically naked. The HP and defense advantage a Light Armor Warrior had against a Sniper was halved. And the teeth-gritting Sniper, who had unlocked an Excellent-grade pistol, definitely had the advantage when it came to their equipment!

In an inverse relationship like this, even if he, as a Sniper, only had five bullets, it wasn’t impossible for him to kill a Light Armor Warrior. As for how the fight had begun, would these circumstances allow the enemy charging toward him to get the last laugh? At that moment, he couldn’t worry about that.

Bang!

One definitely had to admit that this Sniper had decent gunmanship. His shot accurately struck the chest of the rebel army Light Armor Warrior.
