Fatal Shot - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Let the Hunt Begin

On top of a large boulder that was 17 to 18 meters tall and covered with dense vegetation and trees, Feng Luo put the translucent shell that contained liquid substances neatly into the ammunition storage area on his tactical vest. They were on the edge of a beach, and it was covered with signs of a chaotic battle.

“Wow, Old Feng, you’ve really spent a lot! You’d need at least 15 kill points to unlock a single C Grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullet, right?” Big Pineapple stood beside Feng Luo and had a heavy-looking dark gray alloy shield sitting beside him.

“20 points per shell. These ten bullets cost me 200 points!” Feng Luo set the bullets in place and raised the Barrett in front of him. Then, he looked at the sky.

By unlocking those ten rounds of C Grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullets, his 1,300 kill points immediately went down to just 1,100 points. Furthermore, he had also unlocked Maximum Shooting and Rapid Shooting, which had cost him another 100 plus points.

However, remembering the strength of the “Terminator” in the movie as well as how difficult it had been when he encountered mechanical monsters in the game, Feng Luo decided it was better to be well-prepared.

In either case, if he were to kill a Hunter, the reward of 300 kill points, as well as the mysterious reward, would probably help him to breakeven.

“But Old Feng, how are you so sure that the Hunter Corps won’t be easy to deal with? You’re preparing so much. Even if it were an Elite Grade Level 50 mechanical monster, with our combined strength, it shouldn’t be too hard to take care of it, right?”

Big Pineapple had switched to his Heavy Armor Warrior profession. The heavy alloy armor he wore maximized his defense, and his HP had also exceeded the threshold of 15,000.

“There’s nothing wrong with being cautious. After all, this mission affects our hidden profession mission.” Feng Luo made final adjustments to the Barrett.

After that, he showed some slight hesitation on his face for a brief moment before taking a few more bluish-black bullets out of his backpack and putting them in his tactical vest. With that, he had just spent another 50 points.

“What are those bullets?” Big Pineapple looked curious.

“Electromagnetic Bullets. They increase damage to mechanical type monsters by 15%. Additionally, when the target is hit, there’s a certain percentage of triggering the electromagnetic interference effect!” Feng Luo briefly introduced the attributes of the bullets.

The electromagnetic bullets were the best type of bullets to use against mechanical type monsters.

However, Feng Luo doubted their effect on the Hunters that were like the “Terminator” since those b*stards were covered with synthetic human skin. They looked like they could really stop the effect of the bullets.

“You don’t have to charge this time. Just focus on protecting me. I hope that these Hunters don’t have any super long-range missile-type weapons! Otherwise, it might be very troublesome.”

Feng Luo lowered his head and glanced at the time displayed on his terminal and found that it was almost seven o’clock. “Yup. Time’s up. Are they here?”

He raised his head and noticed that a black dot had appeared at the edge of the sky.

“3,500 meters altitude. Approximately one minute before they reach the island!”

The Night Eagle Tactical Glasses on Feng Luo’s head had been switched to a Rare Grade tactical helmet. However, he could still use the sniping scope of the Barrett to measure the distance of the transport vessel.

“Hehe, Old Feng, if others knew what you were trying to do, would they be shocked?” Big PIneapple looked at the transport vessel flying quickly while a strange smile appeared on his face. “If we do this, will we be punished?”Read latest chapters at Webnovel Clubcom

“I did not break any rules, so they would have no reason to punish me.” When Feng Luo spoke, he intentionally kept his expression blank while aiming at a location in the sky. There was a rice-sized mini monitoring device floating around aimed at them that was ridiculously hard to detect.

At that moment, in a luxurious yet somewhat closed off manor, a group of people sat scattered on their chairs.

The virtual screen in front of each of them had some monitoring scenes caught by the monitoring devices or collars.

“What did he mean by that?” A big-bellied NPC wearing all kinds of rings on each of his fingers frowned after hearing Feng Luo’s words on the screen.

“He means that if he does something that we did not prohibit, it would be within the rules of the game.” The only person who was standing was the black-uniformed officer. He still had his cold smile as he stared at Feng Luo’s expressionless face on the screen.

“What he’s about to do? What is he…Ah, could it be? Does he want to use the sniper rifle to attack the transport vessel?” asked a big-bellied NPC, who looked like an upstart, in a surprised tone.

“He’d be shooting at the sky. With the standard of weapons the adventurers currently have, even if it’s a sniper rifle, they can’t reach very far. Unless he uses the anti-gravity sniper rifle or composite bullet that they still can’t use. Moreover, the transport vessel isn’t something a few bullets can take down!” said another black-uniformed NPC. He was wearing shades and was clearly unhappy with the upstart’s guess.

“Surely, he wants to snipe the Hunters when they land. Or perhaps destroy the landing gear they wear. That way, even if these Hunters are robots, falling from over a thousand meters will certainly incur serious damage. They might even be destroyed!”

“This is certainly an interesting idea. However, the marksmanship required for that is way too high. After all, the landing speed will be quite fast. Moreover, the landing gears are controlled by artificial intelligence!” the big-bellied rich NPC said, slightly confused.

“Did you not notice that this guy has never missed in the previous battles?” asked the black uniform NPC. He looked at Feng Luo who had taken aim at the sky with the Barrett raised. The NPC’s gaze under his shades was one of a predator looking at his prey.

“Oh, that’s right. If any of you gentlemen are interested in any of the participants, you can start increasing your bet right now. The maximum betting amount for this round is five billion credits!” The fierce-looking face of the black-uniformed officer showed wore a cruel smile.

“I bet 10 million credits that he will last until the last ten before dying!” exclaimed the big-bellied rich NPC. He grinned, showing his row of gold teeth.

“I’ll add another 13 million credits. He’ll definitely survive until the end!” said the black-uniformed NPC who was wearing shades. His face wore a meaningful expression.

“I bet 20 million credits that he will not be among the last 15!” A cold voice sounded. It came from a tall and muscular man who wore a black mask like “Harley.” However, from his less than normal looking pupil and the rebel army high-ranking commander uniform, one would know his identity.

Feng Luo and Big Pineapple had encountered and eliminated a lot of rebel army beast warriors and manipulators on that day due to luck. No wonder the rebel army high-ranking officer sounded so annoyed.
