Fatal Shot

“Warning! Unknown virus infection detected. Biochip unable to eliminate the virus…”

A red warning signal flashed across the transparent screen of the tactical helmet connected to the terminal.

“Unknown virus infection!?” Feng Luo felt surprised, although, he was no stranger to popup messages like this. When he worked on the mission on Silver Leaf Island, he was infected by the Evolution Virus of the Level 50 Commander Grade Giant Python, the system also sent him a similar popup notification.

“But… How is this possible?” However, Feng Luo could not figure it out.

Feng Luo’s character had synthesized with the Evolution Virus a long time ago. However, he had used three W-virus permanent Enhancement Potions before. The system’s description mentioned that he had reached a level where he was completely immune to all primary Evolution Viruses.

It was this reason why he could completely ignore the attacks of the zombies and Foragers, which carried the T-virus, during this Biohazard Crisis storyline and be free of the mental pressure the other players faced.

However, right now, his Biochip actually notified him that he had been infected.

“Just what is going on!?” Feng Luo’s face crumpled with fear. Then, he switched his attribute column to the system logs page.

[You were attacked by the Mutant Tyrant T-001. Received weak point damage. Lost HP: 4,556.]

[You’ve been infected by the Mutated Evolution Virus (Intermediate). Since you possess complete immunity to all Primary Evolution Virus, the infection rate of the Intermediate Mutated Evolution Virus has been slowed down. Estimated Time of Completion of Infection: Two Hours.]

[Infection Result: Unknown.]

Three records, all appearing 30 seconds ago.

Clearly, the claw attack from the Mutant Tyrant that tore through his SUV combat uniform had infected him.

His immunity had been ineffective because the Evolution Virus of the Mutant Tyrant was not at the Primary level; instead, it was the Intermediate (Mutated) Evolution Virus.

“What kind of bad luck is this!?” Feng Luo’s heart sank after he understood the reason almost immediately.

The name of the virus that he had guessed more than once had finally appeared, Intermediate Evolution Virus. However, when it appeared, he was the one who got infected again.

If it were an Intermediate Virus infection that came from the evolved form of other types of Primary Evolution Viruses, Feng Luo might not have worried too much.

The reason was that the Evolution Virus was something that was designed to help creatures evolve, and it was possible for Feng Luo to obtain permanent stats increase just like before when something similar happened to him on Silver Leaf Island.

However, the problem was that the Intermediate Virus on the Tyrant’s body was clearly a mutated and evolved form of the T-virus. When the Evolution Virus of the T-virus was still at the Primary stage, people who were infected by it would turn into corpse-like monsters such as zombies, Foragers, or Tyrants. So, even if the Intermediate Evolution Virus was different from the Primary Evolution Virus, Feng Luo was quite certain that the result would not be something good.

And the worst of it was that the system did not provide any explanation. It only gave him a simple phrase…

Infection Result: Unknown.

“Unknown!”

Feng Luo had a grim expression. It wasn’t only his expression, and his face was really becoming more and more deformed and ugly.

His face started to turn pale with a bit of green and gray. As for the blood inside his body, it seemed to be boiling. His breath became faster as his forehead started to burn. He was also starting to feel a little dizzy. Clearly, the virus was quickly spreading all over inside his body.

As he started to recall the past, Feng Luo clearly remembered that on the item exchange list for the Biohazard Crisis story, there was no anti-virus serum for the Intermediate virus. Preventing him to have a way to prevent the Intermediate Evolution Virus from infiltrating and destroying his body.

The situation had, once again, gone out of his control. Earlier, it was when he faced the Quasi-boss Giant Octopus Commander Grade monster.

…

As the virus that infected Feng Luo started to take effect, the situation on the battlefield was also changing.

Auuu!

The B-grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullet missed and failed to lower the Mutant Tyrant’s HP under 5% to send it into the Heavy Injury status. However, with less than 10% HP, even if its AI had decreased after being infected by the T-virus and had been operating based on its instincts, its angry brain had finally detected danger.

“Boom!”

As such, Security Door, the Heavy Armor Warrior who had just charged over again, was once again sent flying by the giant claws. He flew eight meters away like a tin can before crashing into the ground.

After the Mutant Tyrant tore a hole in the four Heavy Armor Warrior barrier, its legs, completely healed from the previous sword wound, bent downward before exploding itself towards the top of a building on the side of the battlefield.

It detected a death threat looming and decided to avoid the edge of the blade that would endanger its life.

As long as it could get away for a bit, its amazing self-healing ability would completely recover its HP. Then, this group of battered adventurers would have no choice but to become its food as they would have lost all their strength.

It was then reminded that there were three extremely weak human beings inside the room on the other side.

“Hurry, it wants to escape! Stop it!” Dan Hen shouted anxiously. His submachine gun was already firing bullets towards the Tyrant.

“Ta, ta, ta!”

“-101, -124, -99…”

However, even if the submachine gun bullets hit the Tyrant’s completely exposed chest and waist, inflicting a series of damage, it was not enough to prevent it from getting away.

A Scout did not have any long-range control skills and normal control skills would also be unable to limit the movement of the incredibly strong and powerful Mutant Tyrant, whose size and strength was comparable to a truck.

Luckily, they still had an amazing crowd of professions with control skills.

Just as the Mutant Tyrant’s blood-stained body leaped into the air, Dan Hen’s attacks flew towards it, the sky above them suddenly turned dark.

A bunch of large oval boulders descended straight from the sky, crashing into the head of the Tyrant, which was already in midair.

Earth Manipulator’s Level 40 ultimate skill, Heavenly Meteorite Drop.

“Boom!”

“-3345!”

The Tyrant, which had lowered AI after being infected, could not have anticipated the player’s skill. Moreover, since it was in midair, even if it had the strength to lift a mountain, it was impossible for it to dodge.

As such, from top to bottom, the Tyrant’s head met with the Earth Energy Meteor, crashing violently together.

The meteor was formed through energy and did not physically exist. So, as they collided, the meteor immediately and directly reverted back into formless Earth energy.

The Tyrant’s head wasn’t made of steel, so this collision not only took out half of its remaining HP, but its entire body was sent crashing into the ground from the air, sending it back to the battlefield.

“Alarm, you bastard… Damn, you didn’t ‘shrink’ at this crucial moment!” Security Door shouted to his Earth Manipulator team member from afar while standing up with his shield raised after being sent flying far away by the Tyrant.

“…” The Earth Manipulator, Security Door Alarm, rolled his eyes at him.

Immediately after that, his rolling eyes became a glare. After falling to the ground in the middle of the battlefield, even though the Tyrant had less than 5% HP left, it did not “shrink” as everyone expected.

With just 5% HP, it should have been in the Heavy Injury status and lose its ability to continue to engage in battle. Instead, it let out a loud and deep roar that could be heard within a 1 km radius.

At the same time, an intimidating aura emanated from its body that was riddled with bullet and energy attack wounds. Above its head, green healing numbers began to appear quickly. “+1000, +1000…”

“F*ck me. It can still advance even in a situation like this?” Security Door cursed.
