“Forager!”
Behind the eight Elite Grade zombies, a bloodstained Forager suddenly appeared at the corner of the street; its four limbs moved quickly as it crawled at high-speed towards the two of them.
The sudden turn of events completely made the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s Scout player forget his question about the communication issue.
Though Foragers and those Elite Grade zombies were all Elite Grade monsters, their threat to gunners was heaven and earth apart.
Elite Grade zombies had amazing strength, but they were dumb and could not climb up buildings. They were practically live targets with more HP. In contrast, the attacking Foragers were considered glass cannon killers.
Theoretically, though they have used the special potion and the Forager would not attack them automatically, the Forager’s intent seemed very obvious to the Sniper player. The direction of its charge was 100% towards them.
It did not even seem like it was still chasing that normal, panting gunner who had rushed into the lowest level of their building; which was why the Sniper player quickly shouted at his teammate.
“It looks like now we’ll have to do something even if we don’t want to.” The Sniper player looked a bit nervous as he fired his sniper rifle.
“Bang!”
“-2245!”
A D-grade sniper bullet hit the Forager’s head. As an elite player of Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, the accuracy and damage of the shot that was less than 50 meters were quite good.
However, the Forager was Level 50 and though it did not have high HP, its HP was still over 10,000, not doing much to affect the Forager.
“Ta, ta, ta…”
“-434, -434, -399…”
The Scout player raised the assault rifle hanging in front of his chest and started shooting. A series of bullets landed on the Forager’s body with damage numbers continuing to appear.
Roar!
The odd thing was that the Forager did not try to dodge the attacks at the beginning when it was hit. It was only after the Forager was struck by a few bullets that it started to roar, as if it had only just been angered.
Both of the players did not notice that oddity, as the angered Forager was already moving quickly and agilely towards the both of them.
When the two Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players attacked the Forager, the gunner player had already entered their building and vanished from their sights.
A few seconds later, the bullet-ridden Forager fell to the ground from the wall.
“Motherf*cker. That was close. We almost got done in.” The Sniper player put down his rifle and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, as his eyes were almost punctured by the Forager’s disgusting long tongue.
“Foragers are not easy to deal with. It only dropped a few rubbish crystals… Next time, we should ask a Heavy Armor Warrior for the operation. What do you think, Knight?” The Sniper player said while staring at the corpse of the Forager. However, he did not hear a reply from his partner.
He turned around suspiciously, seeing his teammate falling forward with a pained expression on his face. “Knight, why are you… Knight!”
On the Scout player’s chest, a bloodstained knife was protruding through the Level 50 Excellent Grade camouflage uniform with good defense. And the white light of death flashed in front of his eyes.
“Knight!” The Sniper player yelled as he turned around hastily.
Next came the sound of a sniper rifle shot from behind, with a bullet exiting his chest along with sputtering blood.
As the white light of death encapsulated his body, the Sniper player turned around using his last bit of strength and vaguely saw the smiling face of a stranger behind him through his vision. The color of the badge on the stranger’s combat uniform was red, belonging to the enemy camp.
The Sniper player dropped to the ground and a line of thought flashed across his vengeful mind, “Motherf*cking sh*t. So unlucky. No one has come online for so long, and the moment we encounter a Forager, someone comes!”
He never even doubted that the Federation camp player was actually the “friendly” that he saw just a few seconds ago.
[You’ve killed a player from the enemy camp. Obtained Experience: 500. Obtained Merit: 1.]
After taking care of the two gunner players, Feng Luo pressed a button on his watch and turned off something for the moment.
[Beginner Level Special Agent Communication Scrambler]
The device is capable of disrupting normal communication signals within a radius of 30 meters. This was an item from the passcode chest for this mission, and in a situation like this, it was clearly very effective.
The players from Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group probably did not think that someone else would also be able to disrupt their communication signals just as they had done so to the entirety of Silvermoon City. This was something from the high-level Federation Special Agent Department.
24K also peered its tiny head out from Feng Luo’s tactical vest pocket. It squeaked twice as its shiny eyes sparkled.
The Mental Attack skill 24K obtained from its most recent evolution was actually difficult to control when used to manipulate common creatures.
Of course, it also consumed a lot more Psionic Energy. In the short few seconds where it controlled the Foragers to charge at the two gunner players, 24K had already spent one-fifth of its total Psionic Energy.
However, the result was satisfactory, as it helped Feng Luo gain the sniping position easily.
Feng Luo raised the Eye of the Thunder quickly and aimed it at a location a few hundred meters away. He aimed at the place where the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players were hunting and capturing Tyrants.
Feng Luo squinted and thought, “15 seconds.”
He only had 15 seconds to complete this snipe based on the intel obtained by the Elite Grade Scout Beetle that was stationed behind the two gunner players for a few minutes. It was a conversation between the two gunners, and they mentioned earlier that they had to report through their comms device every 30 seconds. At the moment, it had been around 15 seconds since their last report.
It was clear that Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group treated this mission very seriously and they were quite comprehensive in executing their plan.
Even if they could not view the other players’ status due to the distance or other developments related to the storyline, they were still able to know the status of every squad in ambush. If anything were to happen, they would be able to immediately detect the problem.
For average Sniper players, aiming at and shooting at a target that was 300 meters away wasn’t too hard in 15 seconds.
However, if the target was located over 500 meters away and was protected tightly by a group of Heavy Armor Warriors with their shields raised, then the difficulty would simply be two to three times higher.
Due to bad positioning, Feng Luo was able to kill the two Roaring Dragon Mercenary players without alerting the other Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group players. It was also the reason why Feng Luo spent more than ten minutes observing, and based on the geography, ultimately chose this location his point of infiltration.
