Fatal Shot

Chapter 258: “Persistent” Hunter

Feng Luo completely ignored the situation. He looked extremely calm as his gaze fixed onto the Hunter who was enveloped in the black smoke. The muzzle of the Barrett shifted its angles with hard-to-detect movements. This was a “Serious” mode that Feng Luo only displayed when facing challenging targets!

He was neither bothered or shocked by the fact that the opponent had not fallen after his landing device was hit, even though it was already sparkling and smoke was billowing out of it.

Feng Luo reflected on the fact that even the parachutes on Earth had backup chutes. Based on the technology levels of the game, it was highly unlikely that the landing devices for the soldiers would be rendered completely useless after being hit just once. Instead, it was likely that there were backup systems.

However, so what if they had backup measures? As long as the Hunter was in the air, when facing a top-class Sniper, he was just a live target!

Pang!

Feng Luo fired for the third time. Another Armor-piercing Bullet flew into the sky and headed towards the Hunter, just as he appeared out of the smoke with his body stabilized.

Pa!

The shot hit the side of the Hunter’s jet streaming device. It also triggered the 15% probability rare attribute of the Barrett. After hitting the jet streaming part of the landing device, the bullet did not slow down in the slightest; instead, it also destroyed the other side of the landing device.

Boom!

This surprise shot had achieved greater success than Feng Luo’s previous effort. It seemed to have destroyed some important components. The other jet streaming part of the Hunter’s landing device now stopped functioning.

The inevitable result was that the Hunter, who had once again raised the heavy weapon in his hands and intended to target Feng Luo and Big Pineapple, began to freefall. He was still around 300 meters away from the ground.

“Beautiful, Old Feng!” Big Pineapple shouted while holding the military binoculars in his hand.

“Is he dead?” Big Pineapple asked Feng Luo after a dozen seconds or so.

They couldn’t form teams in this mission, so he couldn’t receive the notification to see if the Hunter was killed. However, Big Pineapple knew that if it had “died,” Feng Luo would have probably received a system notification.

“Nope, looks like they’re harder to deal with than imagined!” Feng Luo shook his head, already looking at the map turned on in front of him. He was specifically trying to locate the Hunter’s landing position. A red dot had remained in the same spot on the map for seven or eight seconds. However, since the red dot still existed, it meant that the 300-meter drop just now did not completely destroy it.

“It hasn’t become junk after falling from over 300 meters? That’s crazy!” Big Pineapple said, a little speechless.

“It’s probably due to the location. I’ve miscalculated!” As Feng Luo spoke, he was quickly loading the Shield-breaking Energy Bullets from his tactical vest into the magazine he got out from the Barrett.

The island was mostly covered in trees and grass plains or even swamps. There was only a handful of buildings and hard ground. Feng Luo had seen that the area in which the Hunter had fallen was marked as rocky terrain on the map. It was possible though that the Hunter had been lucky and some trees or suchlike had broken his fall, meaning the robotic player hadn’t been destroyed.

It was already incredibly rare for Feng Luo to perfectly execute his sniping plan and hit his target so accurately in such a short amount of time. Even if Feng Luo’s mind was quick, it was very difficult to consider so many factors all at once.

“Since he fell from over 300 meters, even if he did not land on the rocks, he won’t be in great shape!”

Big Pineapple seemed intent on doing something as he stared at the non-moving red dot on the map.

“Perhaps he has lost his mobility after the fall. Should we go ahead and get rid of it right now, before anyone else gets to it? It’s worth 300 points and a mysterious reward after all!” However, Big Pineapple was then rendered speechless because, immediately after he finished speaking, the red dot that represented the Hunter on the map started to move.

At first, it only moved slightly. After a while, it became a red arrow heading straight for them!

“F*ck, this is crazy. It’s still functional and can move so quickly even after falling like that!” Big Pineapple said in dismay. He picked up his alloy shield and stood beside Feng Luo steadily.

The moment the red dot started to move, Feng Luo already had his Barrett aimed in the direction the opponent was coming from. Due to the trees in the way, he could not yet see the situation clearly.

The red triangle was not moving too rapidly. The Hunter who they had plotted against appeared after one minute.

Yup, he looks a little more wretched than expected.

The muscular and tall body of the robot that resembled Arnold Schwarzennegger had already become quite battered. The synthetic human skin was full of scratches from tree branches and sharp rocks, and its chest seemed to have also been damaged by rocks, leaving a large chunk of golden skeleton exposed.

Its right ankle had been torn off, exposing metallic structure and wires. Clearly, this was also the reason it did not move fast. However, the worst part of it all was its head. It was distorted as if something had pressed against it. It was completely tilted and hung on its neck.

The shades that it had been wearing were long gone. One of its eyes had popped out of its sockets while the other eye no longer had any pupil. Instead, a red dot that continued to move and shoot out a ray of red light, remained.

“What the f*ck? Why do I feel like this is incredibly scary?” Big Pineapple’s eyes were wide. After all, the person still had a human’s figure and seeing it walk with a limp and with its head hanging like that really did give off a very peculiar feeling.

However, Big Pineapple had not experienced a scene from “Resident Evil” in real life. After being infected with the T-virus, Roguetown had been full of scenes like that, so this scene did not affect Feng Luo at all.

Instead, his attention was focused on the arms of the Hunter. They had been completely broken in the fall and its gun had been lost.

In this situation, who would dare to get close to it?

“Yup, it certainly isn’t right. Don’t let him get close!” Feng Luo’s instincts told him that something was off, and he had an ominous feeling. That was why he quickly picked up the Barrett and started firing at the Hunter almost as soon as it appeared.

Pang!

The Shield-breaking Energy Bullet with the light blue glow directly hit the right leg of the Hunter. Its leg was barely intact, but Feng Luo’s shot failed to destroy the right leg of the Hunter. It only tore off the skin and exposed the metallic skeleton that caved in slightly from the shot. Feng Luo had used a C Grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullet with amazing defense-breaking ability paired with the high attack coefficient of the Barrett. Despite this, the Hunter had not sustained serious damage.

It was a good thing that, if one shot was not enough, two shots could make it so!

Pang!

The second shot made the slow-moving body of the Hunter fall, leaving the robot lying on the beach.

Pang, Pang!

Feng Luo could not care about wasting bullets. He aimed the Barrett at the Hunter’s head, chest, and other parts while continuing to shoot, trying to find the location of the control core and energy core.

However, the Hunter did not seem to care about Feng Luo’s attacks. It dragged both of its useless feet behind it on the ground and used its almost destroyed hands to crawl towards them.

“What the f*ck! What is this guy trying to do?” Big Pineapple was despondent. This was a situation he disliked the most because he couldn’t figure out what was going on.

However, whatever the Hunter wanted to do, the answer would be revealed very soon.

Once it was around 20 meters away from Feng Luo and Big Pineapple, something suddenly flew out from the Hunter’s abdomen. Within the item, there was a cylindrical object containing translucent liquid.

“Eh? I’ve seen that before. It looks like his energy core. Doesn’t it mean death for robots when they take out their energy core? He can actually still move. Does he have backup energy?” Big Pineapple sneaked a look at the Hunter from behind his alloy shield.

“Energy core...”

Feng Luo suddenly remembered that the energy core of the terminator in the movie was some sort of miniature nuclear reactor. T-800 from the movie used his own energy core to blow up a terminator that was more advanced than himself!

“No way! Hide!” Feng Luo’s pupils contracted.

At the same time, the skill that was unlocked earlier, Death Sense, had already issued a fatal alert the moment the Hunter threw the energy core towards the two of them.
