Fatal Shot

The game time was 11AM sharp, the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group began their first pre-war large-scale movement.

With the city-wide surveillance which could only be used for five hours, all the guild players online and nearby Tyrant-hunting groups were thoroughly searching for that Sniper player.

……

On the street near the hunting region was a Gunner player wearing a Fine-Grade Level 40 combat uniform with a Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group insignia on his chest. He had an Excellent sniper rifle with average attributes held in his hands, and his face was panicked as he aimed at every spot capable of hiding players using the sniper scope to search, his footsteps instinctively walking closer towards the outer circle step by step.

Along the way, he met a four-man team hurrying over to search. They exchanged greetings with nods of their heads and let out a few complaints about how the higher-ups had hastily made decisions and they would have to work themselves off.

“Leader Feng! You’ve actually killed that NPC? At such a fast speed, the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s communication channel is in a mess now!” Phoenix’s voice came from the communication channel, with joy and disbelief.

“Heh, that’s why I said Old Feng definitely could make it. Right, Old Feng, how did you do it, teach me in detail later on when you’re free.” Big Pineapple’s voice followed, with a sense of self-satisfaction with his foresight.

“The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group is already on the search with city-wide surveillance engaged, do you need us to protect you as you retreat?” Onishi’s voice was the third to appear, which sounded a little shocked by an unexpected discovery.

“Hm, no need. They wouldn’t expect our method of disguising with the camp and guild insignia, so we just need to be careful and our identities wouldn’t be discovered by these people at all.” Feng Luo shook his head, as he missed a shot together with the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group Sniper in his scope on the rooftop beside. “But if the city-wide surveillance is controlled by the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, the following plan would have to be adjusted a little. Digital Cat, can the equipment you’ve obtained hack into this city-wide surveillance channel?”

“With Silvermoon City’s own surveillance engaged, it’s rather a lot easier for me to hack into it than the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group previously using those surveillance equipment provided by the rebellion, it’s a 95% chance that I’ll be able to hack into it within a minute.” Digital Cat sounded very confident. “However, the inner surveillance of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base is independent, so to hack in, I first have to bring in the Chip with the hacking program. Also, according to the signal source analysis, the players in the base should be around 150, but now the number is 87% probability of being less than 100. Because there have been dozens of people coming out, then going towards the direction of where you are now.”

“Mm, this is almost as I’ve anticipated. The base is very near here, so the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s higher-ups will very likely deploy the people from the base to intercept me, and the defense power at that base would be reduced, making the following action easier. Never thought that this war would be bigger than I imagined.” Feng Luo shifted the sniper rifle angle down, already seeing more Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players moving over through the scope, searching and blocking the roads from every direction.

“But this is rather a good thing too. I’d rather think of a way to lure these people to other locations first, wait till they’ve gone away for a certain distance, then Onishi and Phoenix, you two can attempt to find a chance to observe the situation near the secret base at a closer distance. Please take note, those two NPC Agents who are participating in the competition are probably already nearby. But you all remember not to rush into entering the base, and not to rush to save the target, as I suspect that that little girl possibly has a high-level NPC protecting her nearby.” Feng Luo reminded.

“High-level NPC?”

In the communication channel, the other four people were doubtful.

“Mm, a combat-type NPC with awakened Force…” Feng Luo quickly said out his guesses and predictions.

“How is he so familiar with Force? He’s far more detailed than the information on the forum…could it be…” Hearing Feng Luo’s words as he walked, an idea struck Onishi who was near the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base.

Feng Luo was now already walking into a building with a large base area, with his disguised identity, completely disappearing from the sight and surveillance of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players.

……

More than 10 seconds later, at least up to 1000 Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players had already used Recon Meters and carefully searched all the areas nearby, even killing all the nearby zombies and Tyrants, but still to no avail in finding that mysterious Sniper. They were all so frustrated and were about to curse and swear.

“Ping!”

Suddenly, a sniper rifle gunshot. The body of a Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group Light Armored Warrior standing at the balcony of a building, who was complaining at his highest vigor and even spitting out vulgarities, was violently thrown back, the Alloy Light Armor at his chest dented into fist-sized hole.

“-9770!”

His body was still in the air when a red lethal damage coefficient had already emerged above his head, along with the white light of death flashing across his body.

“Thud!”

The Light Armored Warrior’s corpse crashed heavily onto the ground, the body bent in all sorts of ways from the crash, splattering out a huge pool of blood.

The loud sounds of the gunshot and the fall were noticed by many Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players and they quickly turned their heads to look.

“Over there at that building, around the 10th floor!”

“F*ck, hurry, don’t let him escape!”

“Those inside, quickly guard the entrance!”

The Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players who were initially already a little inclined towards giving up became active in a moment, one by one running towards the direction calculated by the Scout players using the bullet angle.

Some players who were initially still searching inside the building rapidly rushed out from all the entrances and passageways.

……

Inside a building near the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base, just one level below where two of the Group’s players were hidden in the darkness to be on guard, a silhouette in combat uniform slowly appeared from thin air.

An image of a few hundred meters above the person’s head emerged on the lenses of the person’s combat helmet. The image instantly zoomed in, quickly locking on the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base opposite from here.

The person used “Detection” facing the base in the distance, making the entire structure of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base look as if it instantly became completely transparent, all the infrastructure was completely displayed on the image according to the structure and density.

Even the many sorts of blockage walls and anti-Detection facilities installed in the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s secret base, the life stats of players which were unable to be detected by the Recon Meter, and all sorts of equipment on them were all displayed on the three-dimensional image.

A small child in a sealed room on the three-dimensional image was locked on in the image.

Compared to Feng Luo and the others still thinking hard of a way to probe into the defense personnel and surveillance facilities of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s base, and moving slowly as they were not clear about the target’s location, this person’s method was simply cheating.

“The technological advancement of Legendary equipment is not what all these outdated anti-Detection facilities can match up with.” Nightingale’s face was cold, his mouth curving with condescension, then his forehead creased a little.

The little girl picked up by the Legendary-Grade Recon Meter together with Force Detection was clearly the mission target but surrounding the room she was locked in were probably up to 10 people either in the light or in the darkness.

Nightingale creased his forehead because the giant with a height of over two meters standing at the entrance, with very strange life force signals; and the person in the neighboring room from the little girl’s room who was a woman, based on her body shape, had a far stronger life force signal than the other people.

“Are they experts who’ve grasped the Force?” Nightingale’s face turned a little grave, after which with a switch of the image on the lenses, a group of players fighting with zombies not far away appeared. It locked onto the female Fire Manipulator wearing modified Agent glasses, whose actions seemed a little unsteady but whose eyes were completely fearless. “Something’s up, I’ll let y’all act first then. Although the first target of this mission is rescue, since the higher-ups have the intention of competing, then I have no need to remind y’all. If y’all carelessly charge straight in and get finished by her, then I’d be really happy not to have let y’all burdens become my subordinates.”

Previously in the players’ Agent-selection mission, it could have been said that it was his most humiliating, although the Hunting Tigers had also lost, there was still one Adventurer who had passed the investigation.

The men he had led had been wiped out, while he was deemed to have lost for using his Force by the Sakura b*tch in the last battle.

“Sakura!”

Nightingale touched his chin, his eyes turning cold, after which his silhouette slowly disappeared into the room.
