Fatal Shot

On the edge of Silvermoon City, within a metallic laser wall, a blood-stained zombie dog with barely any fur left lowered its head and was chewing something that looked like an arm with a little bit of clothing left.

From the photograph of the dog and its NPC owner hanging on its intelligent dog collar, one could vaguely tell that the dog used to be a small cute white dog. However, it had become a Level 42 Elite Grade zombie dog with rotten flesh that stood over a meter tall.

In the process of chewing its food, the zombie dog had changed its position, showing its hind legs with flesh turned inside out while black blood oozed from it. The wound was created by a human that suddenly appeared beside it and used a long thing to attack it as he shouted. After the human attacked, he was surrounded by a group of humans that gave off the same aura and pushed him to the ground while screaming.

It was a good thing the zombie dog was able to snatch an arm away when the group of humans divided their food. As long as it ate the arm, the dog’s latent ability would quickly heal the wound.

Wu!

The zombie dog’s neck turned and its dark red eyes stared viciously at the top of the metallic wall that was over ten meters tall. The muscles on its hairless and rotted body firmed up.

“Bang!”

A human jumped from the metallic wall, slightly frowning when he saw it eating.

Roar!

The zombie dog growled and opened its drooling and bloodied mouth and sharp canine teeth, charging towards the human that gave off the scent of fresh meat.

Immediately, it felt something cold and short slice its neck. Then, its neck, along with its bones, was sliced in half.

From its gradually darkening vision from its rolling head, it saw a picture on its collar of a human smiling brightly while hugging itself. Then, it suddenly felt peace.

“Holy crap. Old Feng, you’re way too quick there. It’s a Level 40 plus Elite Grade monster. To actually kill it without creating any sound.” Big Pineapple, who was also using the special agent traction anchor to jump off the wall after Feng Luo, could not help but lament.

As Big Pineapple thought about the 20 plus kills that Feng Luo completed in the last phase of their journey before entering the city, he felt it was quite normal. “Awakening the Force is really crazy strong.”

The in-game time was 10:20. Before they completely entered the story zone, they put their two vehicles into the vehicle space, because they could not retract their vehicles inside the story zone.

“I actually thought the inside of the city would be filled with corpses, with zombies blocking routes on the edge of the city. I never expected things to be that much better than expected.” Big Pineapple said after looking at the surroundings. He noticed that, apart from vehicles blocking roads and a lot of dark red bloodstains, the number of corpses on the ground was not as much as he had expected.

Of course, the sounds of battle filled the air. It was obvious that those were the sounds of players who had come online fighting against the zombies.

“There are bloodstains on the ground but no corpses. It’s probably the system clearing the corpses after yesterday night. Probably did not want the scenes to be too disgusting.” Feng Luo said after mulling over it briefly.

The scene from the night before was still acceptable. If the scene of corpses filling the city remained during the day, visually speaking, it might have been too much.

“Next, we need to complete two tasks. One, we need to find a suitable and safe location and allow Digital Cat to help us connect our terminal to Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s internal comms. Two, we need to move to Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s base and observe the situation. We’ll begin our operation in conjunction with Veterans Tribe at 12. This place is located not too far from the coordinates of the secret base given by Black Rose. We can probably reach the area between ten to 20 minutes.” Feng Luo turned around and said to Digital Cat, Phoenix, and Onishi, who had just jumped off the wall. “Of course, we need to get rid of these bastards first.”

A zombie with broken arms and a bloodied mouth suddenly charged out of a shop on the side. It roared as it moved towards them. There were so little zombies around them because these zombies were dining elsewhere.

Compared to the clumsiness from the night before, the zombies seemed to have adapted to their new bodies. Their movement speed had considerably increased.

…

At the same time, inside Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base…

“What’s the situation right now?” Roaring Dragon Light Wind stood in front of a French window. He looked fatigued, clearly he did not sleep at all through the night. However, he still seemed to be sharp and awake. After all, the plan that he had been scheming for a long time was about to reach its final stage.

“No problem. Since most of the elite players of the guild alliance were quarantined by the NPC army, the players who came online aren’t able to work together. They can’t pressure us in any way. However, our informant told us that a counterattack led by leaders of Veterans Tribe will commence at 12 noon. They are even coordinating and contacting the other non-guild players on the forum.” A Heavy Armor Warrior behind Light Wind said.

“12 noon… Alright, I got it.” Roaring Dragon Light Wind nodded. His expression remained unchanged.

The Heavy Armor Warrior stood on the side. He opened his mouth but closed it again. It looked like he had something to say but was hesitating.

“Is there anything else?” Roaring Dragon Light Wind turned around and asked.

“Uhm… There’s one more thing that I need to report to you,” said the Heavy Armor Warrior awkwardly and helplessly. “That kid, Pervert, was heard by the female NPC. And… she killed him unarmed by thrown him off the building.”

“Killed? Unarmed? Are you sure?” Roaring Dragon Light Wind frowned as he heard that.

However, his focus was not that an elite player of the guild, Pervert, lost a level. Instead, he was more focused on the fact that the female NPC working for Wesker was capable of killing an elite player while unarmed.”

“Yes, the NPC is crazy. Pervert is a hybrid defense Light Armor Warrior after all, he has four Rare Grade gears and his HP is more than 10,000, but he was still killed instantly!” Exclaimed the Heavy Armor Warrior in shock.

Roaring Dragon Light Wind had a vague frown. He could feel that he had grasped something in his mind, but as he tried to dig deeper, but he could not get anywhere. He simply asked the Heavy Armor Warrior, “After killing Pervert, did the NPC do any other dangerous things?”

“No.” The Heavy Armor Warrior shook his head.

“That’s good, leave her alone. Pervert says too much. To think that he’d even flirt with an NPC. You reap what you sow. As for the little girl, remember to keep defense tight. Arrange a few people to specifically defend the surveillance room.” Roaring Dragon Light Wind ordered.

“Yes!” After the Heavy Armor Warrior left the room, Roaring Dragon Light Wind turned around. He extended his hand and pressed a button on his terminal, turning the window in front of him into a virtual screen.

The image on the screen, a three-meter tall Tyrant T-001 was roaring in anger and charged towards a player wearing the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group guild badge defending an NPC wearing a white lab coat.

After a few steps, the Tyrant dropped on the ground, its giant dark red claw and head slammed into the ground as it wailed in pain. As it fell, two metallic syringes fired from a medical pistol could be seen poking out from its muscular back.

As the Tyrant struggled on the ground, a small dark red mecha that looked like a spider crawled quickly onto its body, where all eight of its limbs punctured the Tyrant’s exposed chest. A red light started to flash from its ruby-like eyes…

After more than ten minutes, the Tyrant stood back up again. Although cruelty and violence could still be seen in its eyes, it did not attack the group of people. Instead, it only turned around in the same spot, looking slightly annoyed.

The camera zoomed out to show that not far away from that Tyrant, over ten Tyrants with the same red mecha spider on their chest appeared.
