“They really haven’t realized that they’re in a warzone, huh? For a Doctor to leave the protection of her teammates and expose herself for such a long time within shooting range in such a circumstance!”

Sha Lang, who was observing things through the sniping scope, frowned and shook his head in resignation with the Python of Death raised inside a room where two dead zombies, who had been head-shot, lay on the ground in a building not more than 30 meters away from the group.

“However, this Sniper’s damage is certainly quite high, to take out a Doctor whose HP is around 3,500 in one shot. But it’s only interesting this way!”

The gun muzzle of the Python of Death, which was T-shaped, moved slowly in his hands as if a lone wolf in the desert were looking for its long-awaited prey.

“What childish behavior!” A Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group Sniper wearing a micro-earphone and holding a black sniper rifle in his hands moved his gun swiftly while the corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He was inside a room on the second floor of a retail shop around 100 meters away from the group. At that moment, a rather cold voice came from the microphone of his communicator.

“Lin Zhi, did you fire the shot? Didn’t I tell you to observe and not act on your own accord?”

“Captain, the Doctor in their team actually left the protected area and went to give an injection to an NPC on her own. How could I miss such a glorious chance? That’s why I acted and took care of her!”

“A Doctor? How careless!”

“That’s right, Captain. She looks like just a normal player. Her equipment wasn’t top-notch, either. She couldn’t even take one of my shots! We don’t have to be overly cautious. We can crush them with our current strength! My current attack damage can directly one-shot any low-HP professions. As long as I change my position after every shot, they will not be able to do anything to me!”

The Sniper had already changed his position and was cautiously setting up his sniper rifle behind a window.

“Don’t get cocky. The opponent also has Snipers!” The voice coming from the communicator did not seem happy. After a short pause, it spoke again and said, “No. Retreat immediately. Wait until they enter the ambush range. Then we’ll see.”

“Captain, you’re way too cautious. Under such circumstances, even if they do have Snipers, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to me. I will do as I please!”

The Sniper had already pushed the muzzle of his sniper rifle outside the window. He aimed at a person standing outside the group, who was staring toward his position with a cold face. It was a pretty blonde-haired Gunner player.

“I’ll get rid of another one, and I’ll return! A beauty. Not many on the 17th Administrative Planet, huh? Unfortunately, it’s useless even if you’ve found me because…”

The Sniper licked his lips and pressed the trigger hard while smiling.

Bang!

−998

“What?”

The light blue shield-breaking energy bullet flew out, and the distance of 100 meters was, naturally, covered in but an instant. However, what the Sniper did not expect was that the moment the bullet hit the chest of the blonde female Machine Gunner’s chest, there was a flash of light, and a light layer of an energy shield flashed on her body.

After that, his attack was reduced by half. The C-grade shield-breaking energy bullet’s damage didn’t even reach 1,000!

“F*ck!”

As he saw the situation, the Sniper cursed. After that, he decisively ducked his head and rolled a ways across the ground.

Bang!

As expected, the next moment, a sniper’s bullet grazed the side of the window and entered the room, shattering a nearby vase into pieces. It also pierced deep into the wall of the room.

“As expected, there’s a Sniper.” The Sniper gritted his teeth as his expression sank. “Moreover, it looks like he’s more troublesome than expected. He reacted really quickly!”

He knew that if it were him, he would definitely not have been able to react as quickly and shoot as accurately. If he hadn’t dodge in time, the destination of that shot might have been his brain.

“That guy from the first team is probably the only one who could do this!” the Sniper said, irritated as he retreated while carrying his sniper rifle. “Forget it. I’m done playing with you guys. My level and mission are more important. I have no intention of failing miserably at a simple task!”

The Sniper quickly ran to another side of the room and directly jumped out from the second floor and landed on the street. He was not worried about getting hit by the enemy Sniper. This escape route had been carefully selected. The field of vision of the enemy was mostly blocked, so there was no way the enemy player would be able to hit him.

The enemy only had one Sniper. This was the intel provided by the Umbrella Corporation. Although the intel on one of the players was incomplete, he didn’t feel that the player would be a Sniper. Moreover, even if he or she was a Sniper, there was nothing to worry about, since the only positions where someone could have targeted him were directly ahead and diagonally in front of him.

However, zombies had just passed by that location, so the enemy was retreating hastily. So there was no way someone would be left behind the zombie horde!

Bang!

However, the impossible became reality!

The moment he landed on the ground, a gunshot came from ahead of him. Before he could react, a light blue bullet had already hit his tactical helmet.

The C-grade shield-breaking energy bullet’s armor-breaking effect, with the support of the liquid energy propellant within the bullet, was realized to its maximum potential. It broke straight through the defense his Level-44 Excellent helmet, and the degree of damage was 100 percent. The leftover kinetic force of the bullet still dealt weak-point damage nearing 3,000 after tearing through his helmet.

−2020

Damn it. How is that possible? After the bullet broke through my helmet, even the weak-point damage was high!

The Sniper player was shocked. However, he immediately reacted and remembered that he was in a danger zone. Without any hesitation, he turned around and rushed into the retail shop behind him.

Bang!

−3011

However, after he turned around and ran a few steps, and just as he was one step from getting into the shop, the next bullet had already reached him in a short amount of time. With a light blue glow, the sniper bullet pierced through his combat uniform and entered through his back before exiting from his chest with a trail of blood, leaving a huge hole about the size of a transparent bowl under his bloodied vision.

How is this possible?!

In the short amount of time before his body turned into white light, the Sniper was filled with feelings of resentment as well as confusion. After the Sniper had been enhanced by the Umbrella Corporation’s various potions and T-virus, his HP was increased to more than 5,000, but it had been instantly reduced to nothing in two shots. In particular, the first shot, which had already lost a lot of power and momentum after breaking the helmet’s defense, had still managed to deal over 2,000 damage of weak-point damage.

Even if my attack increased by a whole 40 percent, and with the Level-45 Excellent sniper rifle in my hands, paired with the shield-breaking energy bullet provided by Boss Lightwind, there is still no way I can handle such high damage! Also, didn’t the enemy only have one Sniper? What the f*ck is this situation? Why is someone behind us? Could it be that the one who was hidden was really a f*cking Sniper?

Moreover, isn’t the Umbrella Corporation monitoring the enemy throughout? Why was there no warning from the communicator?!

Around 50 meters away from him, Feng Luo appeared inside a room of a building behind the zombie horde. His eyes behind the window did not look back at the player. Instead, he looked toward the position where the previous familiar gunshot had rung out from afar.

“Looks like he has been acting stealthily throughout. This is actually not bad. At least with two Snipers hidden, we can pressure the enemy somewhat!”

Feng Luo glanced over before shifting his gaze. He then held the M110 and started to move.

To stay behind the zombie horde and employ guerilla tactics alone naturally required the sort of guts that ordinary players didn’t possess. However, Feng Luo had done this because he was confident.

First, he possessed the antivirus serum of the Evolution Virus. His body itself even had the ability to resist the T-virus already, so he wasn’t afraid of these zombies. Second, moving alone meant he could deploy 24K when necessary.

Third, the Level-40 SUV Rare combat uniform, which was the highest-class combat uniform series, possessed extremely powerful camouflage and anti-detection functions, and in a dark environment such as this, its effects could be maximized. This was also why he was not detected and monitored by the Umbrella Corporation.

The Umbrella Corporation did not have monitoring devices set up everywhere, after all. They mostly relied on the items on some of the unique zombies to obtain information.

Plus, it was already quite dark, so it was inevitable that the Umbrella Corporation’s monitoring and detection devices were affected. Although these devices had night vision and night detection functions, when facing the environment simulation and anti-detection functions of the SUV combat uniform, they were restrained.

However, Feng Luo also did not notice that after he left, the corpse of the Sniper player who had died on the street not far away did not become transparent and disappear like normal. Instead, on his face that was initially facing upward, his eyes, which were still open with dilated and dead pupils, suddenly twitched.

After that, the muscles on his body started moving, and his bones began to change shape while his blood vessels popped out one by one. His skin even started to crack as blood flowed out everywhere…

After a few seconds, on the empty street, a huge figure slowly stood up. Its eyes were crimson red, filled with bloodlust and murderous intent.
