Fatal Shot

Skynet, who had just put down his sniper rifle and pulled out his military knife to fight to his death, seemed stunned for a while.

"Dead?"

Blood was oozing out of a bullet hole that suddenly appeared on the back of the Light Armor Warrior's head in front of him. Naturally, there was no need to explain what had happened.

However, who fired that shot?

"What is going on?"

Wasn't Watermelon Skin already dead?

Why was someone still shooting?

Could it be that Watermelon Skin's talent could now be used more than once?

Skynet seemed perplexed. He turned around and looked left towards the place Watermelon Skin was lying.

And the result? He found that Watermelon Skin, as he lay on the ground, was looking at him just as shocked.

What was going on?

The two of them were not very far apart. Even though it was dark, given the eyesight of Snipers, they could still see each other's expression.

And, indeed, Watermelon Skin's expression was obvious.

It only meant one thing: He did not kill the Light Armor Warrior

This was evident from the location of the shot that had hit the Light Armor Warrior. The bullet had come from the right side of where they were. Skynet was shocked only to the extent that he had failed to notice it.

"There's another Sniper helping us out over here!"

Skynet reacted rather quickly and understood the reason almost instantly.

Moreover, this Sniper was someone who could kill a Light Armor Warrior in one shot. He also possessed incredible marksmanship.

The hidden Sniper's ability to kill the Light Armor Warrior easily did not surprise Skynet at all.

More people had begun to awaken the Force in the game, and the number of Legendary Grade weapons had also been increasing gradually. As such, if a Sniper were to possess both the Force and a Legendary Grade weapon, taking out a Light Armor Warrior equipped with only Excellent Grade gear would not be all that difficult.

The real surprise was the difficulty of the Sniper's shots.

Both the shots came less than a second apart. Furthermore, both bullets struck vital points.

As a Sniper himself, Skynet was fully aware of the difficulty of achieving this.

Had it been him, he certainly would not have been able to take aim and shoot in such a short time.

Or perhaps it was more accurate to say that even if he had been able to fire the second shot, the bullet's trajectory would not have been exact.

But, this Sniper managed to do it.

Ah!

Skynet's blank stare was interrupted by a painful grunt.

One of the fights nearby between the melee combatants had ended.

The neck of a Light Armor Warrior was punctured by Dan Hen's dark red stiletto. A Fatal Damage number of "-4,003" appeared above his head before he fell backward, eyes staring forward, on the ground.

In an exchange that lasted only a few seconds, even as he and his teammate surrounded the enemy, a Light Armor Warrior such as him had been put under the "Heavy Injury" status by this Scout player whom he had underestimated.

"This stiletto..."

The Light Armor Warrior wanted to speak to remind his teammate. However, the "Heavy Injury" status prevented him from speaking further. He managed to force his mouth open, but due to the puncture in his neck, only blood spilled out.

"F*ck…Old Seven…Heavy Gale Slash!"

The other Light Armor Warrior looked anxious. With his alloy sword that was imbued with a skill, he slashed ferociously at Dan Hen in an attempt to push back the Scout's hand that held the stiletto.

And just as he swung his alloy sword, a bloodstained arm covered in sand appeared in front of the alloy sword.

Ka!

The Light Armor Warrior severed the arm that had reached the damage limit.

However, the Light Armor Warrior was not happy at all. This was because the enemy had used the gap created by sacrificing his left arm to pull the stiletto out of the Light Armor Warrior's teammate with his right arm. Following that, using the bleeding effect from the ensuing wound, emptied the remaining HP of the Light Armor Warrior under the "Heavy Injury" status.

This made the surviving Light Armor Warrior feel a sense of terror.

Although it was said that scouts had a short timeframe for being on par with warriors in terms of melee combat, it usually only referred to the damage output.

Without the dynamic alloy armor, scouts were inferior to warriors in terms of their Strength, HP, and defense stats. They were only slightly better than warriors when it came to their agility.

With far more disadvantages, a fight between scouts and warriors would most likely end with the scouts suffering a complete defeat.

However, this Scout player was mounting incredible pressure on the Light Armor Warrior.

The good thing was that the bleeding caused by the severed limb pushed the Scout's already low HP lower, to less than 15%, which also put him in the "Weakened" state.

The Light Armor Warrior was confident that, with his almost full HP, he would not lose to a low-HP Scout player in an "Weakened" state.

As the Light Armor Warrior thought this, he gritted his teeth and raised his alloy sword. Then, he lunged towards Dan Hen, who had just pulled out his stiletto, and slashed.

However, at that moment, he felt a thump behind his head.

Bang!

And then…

There was nothing!

-11,345!

Panting heavily, Dan Hen was trying to determine the trajectory of the opponent's incoming attack in his dizzy state due to the "Weakened" status. Then, his face stiffened.

What... What was going on?

Ta, ta, ta

"Rumble"

Feng Luo leaped down off the roof of a tattered building and rolled on the ground.

This caused submachine gun bullets along with fireballs, wind blades, ice arrows, and continuous earth bullets to land in the area behind him.

Even though a few bullets struck his back, they were not able to break the dual-defense of his SUV combat uniform and tactical vest. They only reduced his HP by around 1,000, which was also the amount of HP he could recover in an instant.

"It was actually them."

With both feet buried in the sand, landing as he did from a roof over a dozen meters high, Feng Luo quickly got back on his feet and used Quick Sneak before rushing towards a building next to him.

He had a surprised look on his face.

He was initially going to use the tactic, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware the oriole is behind it."

As the second group focused on attacking the first, he would slowly and stealthily kill the people at the back of the second group before finishing off the rest.

The reason was that this military base site was unlike the battleground at the ruins near Lu Conglomerate City before.

Due to the number of buildings at the base, as well as the numerous walls, he could not shoot from a location that was very far away.

As such, to be noticed too early, even for a player like him would mean considerable danger. After all, the enemy had sufficient long-range firepower, and their attack range was also quite wide.

As Feng Luo observed the fight between the two sides once he reached the roof of one of the buildings — and thanks to Mu Zi's anti-detection ability and the cover of the night — he found out, to his surprise, that one of the groups was composed of Dan Hen and My World's squads.

The two squads were actually together. Moreover, they had been pursued by the players of an enemy faction to this location.

Feng Luo couldn't help but smile wryly.

Since this was the case, his original plan could no longer work: he could not let Watermelon Skin and the others become the live target of enemy fire.

Not only that, but he also had to do something and take out the enemy commanders first. Then, he would have to kill a few Light Armor Warriors to rescue Dan Hen and the crew.

However, even though he had to expose himself early, Feng Luo was still quite confident that he would be able to deal with them.

It was a testament to his confidence in his strength!
