章 25: Bombing Mecha

編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The numerous rebel soldiers began to attack the Town of Exiles from several directions, and the players in the Town of Exiles defended under the arrangement and command of the town guard.

As a place threatened by the mutant beasts in the Forest of Exiles and rebel bases, Town of Exiles 1022 had strong fortifications and an NPC garrison of more than 500 people.

The fierce gunshots were like thunder. The bullets flew, and energy skills of various colors whizzed past. The sounds of explosions came in waves. There was no foreplay; the battle for the Town of Exiles heated up quickly!

On top of the roof, looking at his target through the M110 sniper scope, Feng Luo's eyes were calm and not as full of excitement as other ordinary players. He had experienced war more than once in the past, so there were no nervous feelings in his heart.

Click!

An ordinary armor-piercing bullet was loaded, and the muzzle of M110 was aimed at a rebel Machine Gunner who was shooting 700 meters away. In this kind of battle, there was no need for him to use his own special bullets. Even the E-class armor-piercing bullets that were produced were not necessary. After all, the E-class ammunition with attack bonuses of 5 percent cost almost five credits per round.

The Machine Gunner apparently did not know that he had been targeted and was controlling the six-barreled machine gun in front of him, violently firing at the defenses of the Town of Exiles. The bullets that were continuously fired formed six streams of orange and red flames at the end of the gun, making the Gunner's animalistic face even more hideous!

Bang!

−1574!

Feng Luo's first shot hit the chest of the rebel Machine Gunner. As a humanoid monster, his level and equipment were slightly lower than ordinary players, so the shot not only tore the rebel Machine Gunner's combat suit, but the residual impact of the bullet caused over 1,000 points of yellow weak-point damage.

Outside the Town of Exiles, the rebel Machine Gunner that was shot in the chest showed some panic, then threw himself down, trying to take cover behind the metal plating on the bottom of the six-barreled machine gun.

"Very good reflexes!" Feng Luo praised.

However, the Machine Gun didn't provide much cover. The rebel Machine Gunner only managed to block his head and chest, and a small part of the body was left exposed.

For ordinary Sniper players, it would have been difficult to hit such a small target from 700 to 800 meters, but it was not difficult at all for Feng Luo!

Bang!

−1945!

The second shot of armor-piercing bullets broke through and depleted the remaining HP of the beastly rebel Machine Gunner. A system prompt message appeared in Feng Luo's field of vision.

Level-42 rebel Machine Gunner killed. 80 XP. Town of Exiles 1022 gained 5 medal points!

This "medal point" was not the same as the "merit" that had been previously rewarded for killing the rebel Elite captain. The latter was much more difficult than the former. However, defeating a Level-42 Machine Gunner only yielded five medal points. It seemed like it would not be so easy to gain 100 points.

Fortunately, there were many rebels outside the town, and many mutant beasts at Level 35 or above were constantly converging on the Town of Exiles. As such, it would not be difficult to earn more medal points.

Bang! Bang!

The M110 fired at a steady pace, shooting a round every two seconds and soon killed a Level-39 Wild Boar with a pair of sharp fangs, gaining three medal points for Feng Luo.

It was said that the rebel army had invented a powerful technique for controlling the brains of mutant organisms through their deep research into biotechnology. Therefore, it was possible for them to influence some mutant organisms to join the battle. That was one of the reasons the federal government had been unable to completely destroy them. These monsters were all "brainwashed" by the biotechnology of the rebel army, so they violently attacked the Town of Exiles!

After about half an hour of fighting, the situation gradually fell into a stalemate.

The town's defenses had the perfect number of players, with 1,000 to 2,000 total, plus several electromagnetic energy cannons. But the rebel forces had the advantages of possessing more mechs, and the firepower of their attack had not diminished. Only a few attacks launched in succession could be suppressed by the support of the guards and the players. In the process, the players who had the long-range attacks naturally earn a lot, and even Feng Luo, who only attacked with his sniper rifle, had reached more than 70 medal points. But the acquisition speed was slowing down because the sky was almost dark.

There were differences in the daytime and nighttime environments in War. In general, night in the game was even more dangerous because there were many special mutant creatures that came out to hunt and move in the dark. Of course, a high risk also meant a high return; many special materials and equipment in the game could only be collected from nocturnal monsters. Therefore, there were many players at night in War.

For Snipers, who relied on vision the most, night was undoubtedly very unsuitable for combat. Feng Luo was preparing to put away his M110, thinking he would take a break or shift positions to a more obvious place. At that moment, a series of windy whoosh sounds could be heard above his head. A moment later, the entire Town of Exiles was brightened by ammunitions exploding in the air!

Looking up over his head, Feng Luo saw flares suspending in the air like small suns. "Tactical flares?" he said, a little surprised.

These flares, which were unique to this game, could last for more than half an hour and were the most desirable consumables for many players fighting in the dark. Because the price was so expensive and they were such rare items, general players could not get them. Only NPC forces could afford to fire hundreds of them into the skies.

Thanks to the flares, the problem of limited vision was solved, and Feng Luo aborted his plan to change position. As a Sniper, he had never tried to fight at night in the game, so this would be a novel experience for him.

Repositioning the M110, Feng Luo began to focus on an A-50 Tiger mech 50 meters away from town.

The rebel forces were using a lot of mechs and armored vehicles to attack together in all directions, causing great trouble to the defenders. In particular, the four A-50 Tiger-style mechs, along with their own heavy firepower and defense, had destroyed many defensive structures in the Town of Exiles.

However, the more conspicuous a player was on the battlefield, the more attention it drew. Hence, the mech spearheading the attack had been damaged very badly, and the heavy machine guns and the cannon on its back had ceased fire.

Boom!

A shell from the guards fell on the left side of the mech and hit the mech's armor, bursting into pieces. There were also many remote attacks from the manipulators in the town, such as wind blades and fireballs.

There were reasons for the players to attack so zealously—despite the fact that when the mech was destroyed, there was no way to collect any items from it. This kind of mechanical unit was recognized as an Elite or even a Commander level by the system and would definitely award players with more medal points than those of mutant beasts or ordinary rebel soldiers.

Additionally, if a weak spot was hit and its core structure was destroyed, with a player striking the final blow, many medal points would be awarded (the mechanical unit had no life points, so the core needed to be destroyed in order to destroy the unit).

The weak spot of the Tiger mech was located on the right side of the abdomen. Feng Luo knew this because he had studied the structure of the mech and knew the position of the core control chip. If the control chip could be destroyed, the mech would lose control, and the unit would be deemed by the system as having been destroyed.

However, the weak spot of this kind of mech was thoroughly protected by alloy armor. Even if Feng Luo had used the M110 in his hand with D-class double armor-piercing bullets, it would have been impossible to directly damage the control chip of this Tiger mech because a layer of high-alloy armor was protecting it.

Although the damage factor of the double armor-piercing bullet was high, the kinetic energy of the 7.62mm bullet was not enough to support the penetration of such thick armor. Therefore, Feng Luo did not even think about getting a final blow. He just thought about landing a few shots on the mech. When it was finally destroyed, he could get some experience points and medal points based on the contribution percentage.

However, the situation on the battlefield changed with time. No one expected that the control core of the Tiger mech would suddenly be exposed.

Just after Feng Luo aimed with the M110 and took two insignificant shots, a shell from the guard's fort happened to hit the ammunition box on the right side of the Tiger mech.

Boom!

There was a thunderous bang, along with orange flames and thick black smoke, and the armor protecting the chip was torn off by the explosion.

"An opportunity!"

Watching this through the sniper rifle's scope, Feng Luo was astounded. Without any hesitation, he instinctively aimed at the position of the Tiger mech's control chip, and the trigger was pulled.

Bang!

The M110 made a dull bang, and an armor-piercing bullet tore through the air, spinning at high speed over a distance of more than 300 meters. It passed through the black smoke pouring from the Tiger mech and plunging into its body.

Click!

The five-meter body of the Tiger mech was suddenly stunned, then bombarded by many players who also noticed the breakthrough.

Level-50 Tiger A-50 mech destroyed. Contribution 10.2%. 306 medal points obtained from Town of Exiles 1022.

Unfortunately, these players were one step too slow!


章 26: Boss Battle (Part 1)

編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"More than 300 points! Jackpot!"

Feng Luo showed a smile. He couldn't help it. The points he got on this shot were several times more than he had obtained in the last half an hour. He had not only met the requirements of the 100-point task but greatly exceeded them. But it was pleasing to score even higher medal points, as he could get equipment that was not available in the store.

The Tiger Mecha should only be equivalent to a monster at the Commander level, thought Feng Luo greedily, with 10 percent contribution worth 300 points. If it is a Boss, then maybe 10 percent of the contribution will be worth thousands of points!

But he immediately banished this idea because Bosses in War were too overwhelming. His first consideration when he met a Boss was definitely to run instead of killing to earn points.

"Hey? What's going on underneath?"

Moving the M110, Feng Luo was preparing to find his next target. When he swept his view over the square below, he was shocked to witness a strange phenomenon.

There was a huge square with an area of thousands of square meters next to the building he occupied, bordered by huge buildings on three sides. Players and guards were standing along the innermost line. Under the bright light of 100 flares in the sky, Feng Luo noticed, to his surprise, that there were cracks appearing in the square.

The cracks on the ground violently spread, creating a huge spider web pattern that covered the center of the square. It had happened without Feng Luo even noticing it!

Now, the center of the square was shaking violently!

Although the players in the square had their full attention focused on the battle, it was impossible not to notice what was happening. Everyone began to panic as they realized what had happened.

"What's happening?"

"Damn, is it an earthquake?"

"Oh my gosh! Look down!"

Boom!

The web-like cracks bloomed outward from the center of the square and suddenly slammed upward. Hundreds of boulder with a combined weight of thousands of kilograms rose from the ground and slammed down like cannonballs.

Boom!

More than 10 rays of white light were emitting simultaneously, making the square even brighter than the flares above. They were the lights emitted by players rushed to death by the boulders.

The personal terminal on Feng Luo's wrist produced a mad alarm. There was even a series of bright red warning messages scrolling nonstop through the corners of his view.

Warning! High-energy life detected! Warning…

"Damn it!"

The situation was enough to make even Feng Luo curse.

In War, there was only one reason for such a situation: the emergence of a Boss lifeform, the ultimate creatures in War! His thoughts had become a reality!

Crack!

In the center of the broken square, a huge black figure shaped like a beetle slowly climbed up, breaking through the earth. The hard, thick concrete floor was cracked and broken by its huge body. The surrounding street lamps, flower beds, and sculptures in the square were collapsing one after another...

When the sniper scope was aimed at the black giant beetle, the scanner connected to Feng Luo's personal information terminal library listed some simple information. It was enough to make Feng Luo sweat in fear.

"A Boss-class creatures at Level 45," he muttered under his breath. "What the type is? And attributes?"

It was a Level-45 Boss!

Level 45 may not have seemed very high. It even did not reach the level of some of the players here. But it was a Level-45 Boss!

According to the official standard index, the strength of Boss-level enemies in War was equivalent to the average strength of 500 players of the same level! Which mean they would need 500 players with the equivalent level to kill a Boss!

Moreover, that did not mean that the Boss would definitely be killed. It only meant that if 500 players were willing to trade one level of experience in exchange for the life of the Boss, then there was a 50 percent chance for them to destroy themselves along with Boss. In fact, a team with at least 1,000 members—or more than 300 elite players—would be needed to definitely kill a Boss at this level. And it had to be done under the strict coordination of a commander.

Although there were almost 2,000 red-name players in the Town of Exiles, there were only 200 people around the square, and their strength was unevenly distributed. Plus, there was no unified command. For these players to kill a Level-45 Boss was totally impossible!

Should we leave? wondered Feng Luo. Seeing the Boss appear in front, he was ready to leave without hesitation, but he considered for a moment as he stood up with the M110.

Logically, the system would certainly not arrange a task without a possible solution. A Level-45 Boss had appeared in the town would definitely cause terrible damage.

The Town of Exiles would be unprotected if they decided to let it go. The only solution was to settle it.

It seemed he could not escape even if he began at that moment. And there was a long distance between them. The Boss probably would not realize his presence at first.

I'll observe for a while, Feng Luo decided.

He was actually quite curious about the Boss.

He had never encountered a Boss in all his time since entering War. In the past, he had only watched videos of big companies or player corporations encircling Bosses. Based on those videos, he knew the strength of a Boss. While Feng Luo was immersed in his thoughts, players began to attack the Boss.

Bang!

A football-sized fireball, burning with red flames, slowly flew from the window on the second floor of a commercial building facing the street to the back of the Beetle Boss. It was the fastest skill a Fire Manipulator had in their arsenal: "Fireball."

Bosses in War were extremely rare. Although players had heard of the terrible Boss, many did not believe that they could be so strong that players would be unable to deal with. The very word "Boss" was synonymous with horror, but it also represented top materials and rare equipment. The temptation of credit points was enough for many players to overcome their fear.

Woosh!

After the first Fireball appeared, countless other skills, bullets, and energy beams were fired off at the same time, launched at the Boss. The sky looked gorgeous under the shining light.

The black Beetle Boss was slowly moving its eight giant limbs, supporting its body to drill at the ground. It did not make any counterattack and showed no fear—a characteristic of legendary Boss-level creatures.

Is this the opportunity from the system? wondered Feng Luo. A period in which we can attack it first?

The countless skills and attacks fell as one against the shell of the Beetle Boss, and suddenly there was a dense cluster of damage values over its head.

−23

−8

−56

−77

−9

Looking at the white-colored damage indicators that couldn't even reach three digits, Feng Luo took a cold breath, and slowly spat a single word from between his teeth.

"Incredible!"

It was such an incredible defense level! The total damage could not even reach 300 points—not even when the strongest single-target skill from a Level 45 Fire Manipulator hit its body. And the Machine Gunners' bullets were only doing single-digit damage!

The players around the square were shouting obscenities. They were shocked and completely dumbfounded by the low damage their dealing.

"How the f*ck are we gonna kill this b*tch?"

At the same time, the Boss was finally supporting itself with its eight giant limbs. Its whole body had emerged from the ground, and it began to reveal its first attack!

Boom!

A vibrating, invisible sound wave came out from its wide, enormous mouth, sweeping around in overwhelming style!

Boom!

Everything around the Boss was shattered into powder by the sound waves, which were then driven by the power of the sound waves to form a translucent sphere that spread into the surroundings. The area it covered was in a state of pure destruction. It was a catastrophe straight out of science fiction.

Boom! Boom!

A few white lights flashed, and the stunned Scouts and Manipulators who were closest to it were killed by this horrible sound wave instantly. The rest of the players in the square were in the process of receiving damage values from injuries. Even Feng Luo, who was located the top of a 10-story building, realized that his HP had suddenly fallen greatly!

The players were collectively shocked! However, the full range of sound wave attacks against the group was only the first attack pattern of the Beetle Boss. The next moment, two white laser energy columns were shot from its eyes, and they suddenly blasted the wall of a two-story building located a few dozen meters away, completely evaporating a player hiding inside, turning them into white light. It was the Fire Manipulator who had used Fireball.

What a vengeful Boss!

The two white laser beams did not disappear after killing the player who caused the first damage to it. Instead, as the Boss's head turned, the beams moved like two laser cannons, devastating all the objects in its rampant path. Its destruction was impartial!

What severe destruction and damage! Even as players rushed to hide behind the bunker, the white light of death in the square continued. Only a few high-level Heavy Armor Warriors could block the laser with their shields the moment they were hit. They then rushed to escape with only a little health remaining.

Observing the situation, the players finally realized that the Boss was not something they could defeat. Without a unified command, it was impossible to pose any threat to the Boss even if there had been more than 200 players around the square.

The players were in chaos!
