Fatal Shot

Chapter 237: “Cold-blooded” Sniping

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

“Ah!”

Big Pineapple’s initial reaction was one of shock. The rebel army beast Heavy Armor Warrior, who was shot in between the eyes but whose head did not explode due to his scale-covered skin, had descended into a complete and utter rage!

From his roar earlier, one knew that the elite rebel army Reconnoiter that Feng Luo had killed just now was his “Younger Brother.”

Clearly, although their bodies were synthesized with the genes of wild beasts, the rebel army still retained the familial kinship of humans.

Upon seeing the head of his brother whom he had grown up with explode after getting shot by a Sniper who was hiding in God knows where, the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior seemed to have totally forgotten the familiar tactic used to deal with Snipers he learned from his daily training. Instead, he just looked up into the sky, ignored everything, and charged towards the corpse of the rebel army Reconnoiter lying on the beach.

However, there was no doubt that emotions often had very serious repercussions! To be controlled by one’s emotions when facing a Sniper would mean that the repercussion was going to be even worse.

Pu!

-3055!

The muffled gunshot of the sniper rifle equipped with the silencer rang out once more. Another 12.7mm caliber sniper bullet hit the head of the helmetless rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior.

If it weren’t for the fact that he leaned forward slightly when he was running, the shot would have struck the bloody hole created by the previous shot, and the damage dealt would have been a Fatal Damage that was even higher. Even if he was equipped with four to five armor parts, over 6,000 damage was definitely at least half of his total HP!

Roar!

The rebel army warrior looked furious. However, Feng Luo’s shot had clearly woken him up from his anger a little. He swung his thick, scale-covered right arm and held the alloy shield he was carrying with him in front of him. He stopped his forward charge.

If this is the case...”

On the boulder, the half-crouched Feng Luo holding the Barrett was still extremely calm. He was completely unaffected. During the sniping process, he habitually kept himself in a state of “Cold-blood.”

Upon seeing the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior blocking his line of fire with the alloy shield so that not even his limbs were exposed, Feng Luo did not hesitate to slightly shift the angle of his shot!

Pang!

The third sniper bullet flew out.

Pu!

Under the gory visual mode, on the beach dyed red from the fresh blood, the remaining half of the head of the rebel army Reconnoiter completely “Exploded” as if a sledgehammer had just struck it. Red blood, crushed pieces of meat mixed with white brain matter splashed on the shield and body of the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior who was only two meters away.

“Brother!” The rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior could still see his younger brother’s corpse even with his shield raised. His eyes became completely red. He wailed in agony like a lone wolf who had lost its last companion. The rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior roared and could not help but move the alloy shield in his hand to protect the corpse of his younger brother. However, this movement could not help but expose some parts of his body!

Pang!

-2455!

For Feng Luo, who had been aiming the Barrett with a blank expression, that small exposed part was more than enough.

Pu!

As his stomach was hit, the corpse of the rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior, whose last 2,500 HP was taken out, dropped down heavily beside his younger brother.

The beast warrior had four to five pieces of equipment, and with its own added effect of beast genes that granted bonus HP, its HP was close to 9,000. However, under the powerful offensive of the Barrett, it didn’t even last more than three shots.

F*ck me!

Witnessing the scene unfold before him, Big Pineapple’s eyes turned green. The damage inflicted by the Sniper was so high that it was scary. This Sniper was also “inhumane!” Although Big Pineapple did not really treat NPCs as humans, in a highly realistic game where the AI of the NPCs was also incredibly high, it was difficult not to be affected when you watched them die.

Big Pineapple would hesitate before using the corpse flogging tactic that forces enemies to expose their weakness, but this Sniper did it in an instant.

F*ck, he’s cold-blooded! Hold on. After taking care of these two NPCs, his next target will be me, won’t it?

Big Pineapple immediately remembered his situation.

I’m in a life and death situation, and I have no time to lament the death of my enemy!

As he thought of that, Big Pineapple immediately turned his body to the side and attempted to run into the depths of the forest to get out of the visual field of this Sniper. From the location where the two rebel army beast warriors were shot, he had already estimated the direction of the opponent. However, just as he started to move, a sound made him slow down.

“Big Pineapple. What are you running for? Pick up the equipment those two dropped and come over here!”

What? This guy actually knows me?

Big Pineapple was stunned yet again. He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.

What’s going on? Does this Sniper actually know me? The voice really does sound familiar, but I just can’t think of who it is right now.

Upon hearing Feng Luo’s words, he stopped walking, but he did not follow Feng Luo’s instructions to pick up the equipment.

Though he is probably an acquaintance, what if he’s an enemy? An enemy is still an acquaintance, right?

Perhaps the opponent told him to do that because he was in a spot where the opponent’s line of fire was blocked, and he wanted him to trick him into going outside to pick up the dropped gears.

Big Pineapple did not completely relax.

After all, the mission was related to switching into a hidden profession. One should be cautious above everything!

F*ck... This guy...

Seeing that Big Pineapple hadn’t moved after a while, Feng Luo could guess what he was thinking about.

As such, he spoke once more.

“Stop just standing there. Did you not see the sign on the boulder?”

Sign?

Upon hearing the familiar voice speak once more, Big Pineapple was stunned again.

He was busy running away from the pursuit of the two Elite rebel army warriors just now and only cared about getting himself hidden in the forest. He only scanned the boulder and the beach quickly so had not noticed any signs.

However, since he knows the sign...

Upon hearing about the sign, Big Pineapple knew that the person was a friend and not a foe. The sign was a method which was used to identify and search for teammates that Haruko told them before they participated in the “Big Escape” game. That meant that this person was definitely someone who took part in the special agent mission. No wonder the person didn’t attack him.

Who is this guy then? Is he number 99 or number 37? Or perhaps he’s the backup? That number 243?

Big Pineapple had his ideas about Feng Luo’s identity.

Once he had a chance to sneak a glance at the top of the boulder, he found out that the sign was actually quite easy to spot. Then, he knew that the Sniper was definitely a teammate.

After knowing that the Sniper hiding in the dark was a friend and not a foe, Big Pineapple finally relaxed and quickly ran towards the corpse of the two rebel army warriors. In truth, for the “Gamers” who participated in this mission, the real profit wasn’t the kill points gained after killing an enemy, but the equipment they dropped.

These gears could significantly strengthen them; as for the kill points, they were only a requirement to pass the selection!

As such, if the two equipment-filled corpses were discovered by someone, it would definitely incite another battle. He had to get down quickly and put them in his backpack. However, he forgot one thing. When he participated in the special agent mission, he had used a disguise potion as well as a fake name. So just how did this person know his real ID?
