Fatal Shot

Chapter 355: Commander Monster That Doesn’t Fight Back

Before Azure and My World could tell Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor that Feng Luo was close, the battle had already started.

That was why, up until that moment, Ultimate Heavy Armor still didn’t know that Feng Luo had already made contact with the NPC and discovered their location. After all, in theory, in a situation like this, where the city was in chaos and communication was disrupted, it was incredibly difficult to locate a group of people. Moreover, what piqued his interest was how Feng Luo managed to get to the platform that was several hundreds of meters away from the ground when all the tunnels had been occupied by infected monsters or zombies.

As birds were infected, most people were either looking at the sky or defending against the only tunnel on the other side, which was why no one noticed Feng Luo go up to the area using the Special Agent wristwatch.

“With a little bit of luck... And also some tiny tools!” action

Feng Luo needed to speak as loud as he could in an environment like that.

At the same time, a deflagration armor-piercing bullet was shot out of the Eye of the Thunder, striking the head of a Level-40 Normal-grade red-eyed infected bird charging straight at him.

Bang!

−4330

Although he was only equipped with the Eye of the Thunder, Feng Luo still managed a one-shot kill with his “Lethal” talent against a Normal-grade monster.

“Boss!”

Jing Xiang and Lan had become pale after seeing Ultimate Heavy Armor’s head being attacked by the infected bird. However, at that time, they suddenly recognized Feng Luo’s face in the Light Armor Warrior who had saved them, and at that instant, their expression changed from despair to instant joy and surprise.

“You two stay inside with Master John!” shouted Feng Luo. At the same time, he also shouted to Ultimate Heavy Armor, “Sorry, Brother Heavy Armor. The situation is critical. We’ll talk about the details later. I need to trouble you to help me defend this place. I’ll help get rid of those birds first!”

Bang! Bang!

Feng Luo had already cast Rapid Shooting. Using Eye of the Thunder, paired with the expensive C-grade deflagration armor-piercing bullets, Feng Luo dispatched bullet after bullet at the infected birds that were charging toward them!

At that time, the sky was covered in all kinds of colors generated from skills. The team had two Fire Manipulators, which was also the reason why the deflagration armor-piercing bullets weren’t all that noteworthy.

“Okay!” Ultimate Heavy Armor knew that now wasn’t the time to talk. Plus, his mission was also to protect Old John. As such, he nodded and continued to stand guard at the door with his alloy shield raised after applying a blood tonic on himself.

Earlier, he had already purchased an antivirus serum that would last five hours. At the moment, the duration of the potion hadn’t yet elapsed, so even though he had been scratched by the infected bird, there weren’t too many problems!

“Boss!”

At that time, Lan passed Ghost Weep to Feng Luo, though her pale face still looked worried.

“Don’t worry. We’ll definitely leave Silvermoon City safely!

Feng Luo lowered the mask on the helmet as he nodded with a confident gaze.

******

Bang!

A searing hot bullet flew into the sky and burst into a ball of flame after hitting the target.

The only reason no one noticed a bird falling from the sky after each sniper shot was because the scene was too chaotic. Everyone was concentrating on giving their all in the battle, and lights of differing colors, combined with the sounds of skills and bullets firing made it distracting.

Even some of the Elite-grade birds infected with the T-virus with high HP, which couldn’t be killed in one shot, were afraid of the burning damage of the deflagration armor-piercing bullets. They were, after all, just birds with wings covered in feathers. As such, after Feng Luo joined the battle, all the players across the battlefield seemed to feel the pressure from the monsters easing off! The infected birds flying above the platform had been putting a lot of pressure on the low-HP professions.

“Not good! That Commander-grade monster is coming out!”

However, at that moment, the warning sounds and the yellow flashes indicating the appearance of a Commander-grade monster appeared on the recon meter of a random Scout player. After glancing at it, he shouted in panic while pointing at the hole in the main building on the opposite side.

Just as he finished his sentence, a pitch-black, medium-sized bird with a wingspan of around 1.2 meters—missing feathers in various spots on its body—appeared from the large hole!

Evolved Desert Nighthawk (Female). Level-35 Commander. Species Code: SYY-09984. Estimated HP: 35,000...

Moving his gun barrel quickly and using the automatic computation mechanism of his sniping scope, Feng Luo obtained information on the Commander monster in an instant! It was only a Level-35 Commander monster. From its HP of only around 30,000-plus, it must have been an Energy Attack-type Commander monster!

The moment Feng Luo looked at the monster, his mind raced.

The Scout’s information specifically mentioned that it’s a female? Does that mean there’s another male one? A pair of Commander-grade monsters? But this Commander monster seems different from the other infected birds. At the very least, its eyes aren’t red like the other birds, and its attributes also seem to point to...

But why has it lost so many of its feathers? In addition, it has a layer of stains on its body...? It looks as if it has already been attacked by some other creature...

The T-virus wasn’t a virus that intentionally sought the destruction of humankind; instead, it was a mutation of the Evolution Virus in the game, and the effects were mostly to “evolve!” However, since the T-virus was too strong, most people couldn’t endure the infection process, which was why they turned into zombies.

So, theoretically, some creatures could go through and complete the evolution process, and they would not lose their sanity. From the information provided by the system, the Commander-grade monster must have been different from the other birds.

However, as Feng Luo thought about that, the female Desert Nighthawk was already receiving the concentrated fire from the players on the platform! After all, it was a Commander-grade monster. Even if it wasn’t a high-level monster, no one underestimated it. As such, even if they had to shift their focus for a moment and expose themselves to the danger of having their defenses penetrated by the other infected creatures, they still had to get rid of the greatest threat first!

Auuu...

Instantly surrounded by all kinds of skills, the female Desert Nighthawk let out an agonizing shriek!

However, the odd thing was that the female Desert Nighthawk, which was quite clearly a “Manipulator type,” didn’t retaliate and counterattack. It didn’t even cast an energy shield. Instead, it continued to flap its wings to fly away, as if it only wanted to leave the area as quickly as possible!

But, under the concentrated firepower of the players, the impact generated from the bullets and skills created a force too great for a medium-sized flying-type monster to withstand. The Level-35 Commander monster was restrained to a spot near the wall of the hole while damage numbers continued to rise above its head!

No, something’s wrong. Why would a Commander-grade monster not fight back even in this situation? This reminds me of something... It’s as if it is trying to... escape!

Everyone was attacking the Level-35 female Desert Nighthawk, trying to gain experience and the loot that it would most likely drop! However, Feng Luo quickly shifted his gaze to a distant location. Through the light generated by various skills, he used the Eye of the Thunder sniping scope to observe the color of the enhanced glass of the building on the other side. At that moment, one part was completely black!

Hmm? Why is it completely black? Technically speaking, with so many sparks and flashes in the air, even if the enhanced glass in the building is translucent, there should still be subtle or slight color differences, right?

Something’s wrong!

Feng Luo frowned, and his expression sank!
