Fatal Shot Chapter 206 - Kill

Inside Dongsang City, with its j.a.panese-style buildings, the newest public announcement from the government was repeatedly broadcast to the communicator of every citizen, as well as the giant floating screen that occasionally flew across the sky.

“A small group of Kud terrorists has entered Dongsang City through illegal means. The Guards have been deployed to investigate the case and have already captured and killed most of the terrorists! The newly appointed Guard Bureau Director, Director Murata, has already received the approval of General Yamamoto and will deploy military squadrons to be stationed in key zones across the city to help the Guards capture the remnants of the terrorists! We urge everyone not to panic. Dongsang City’s government and military have the strength to guarantee the personal and property safety of all citizens of the city.”

At the same time, various energy aircraft began to ascend and descend nonstop. The number of patrolling Guards around the munic.i.p.al building had already increased.

An energy aircraft used specifically by key members of the government, closely protected by four floating patrol aircraft, gradually lifted into the air from the parking platform of the government building. However, as the small convoy of aircraft reached an alt.i.tude of around 100 meters, the protected government energy aircraft in the middle suddenly dropped as if it had lost all control. It landed heavily on top of a patrol vehicle floating beneath it!

Boom!

The collision was unavoidable, and a void appeared in the protective formation that was intended to be kept tight. At the same time, there was a loud sound.

Ka!

Inside the energy aircraft that had lost control, two government employees and a normal-looking NPC that appeared to be an average citizen were thrown out from the craft by the vehicle’s safety system.

However, they did not fall to the ground. The ejector seats carrying their bodies transformed into devices somewhat like jetpacks, saving their lives.

But of course, this “life saving” was closer to a trap!

Pu!

It was light, dull sound—like a can of beer being popped open. This was the sound of a sniper rifle equipped with an Advanced-level silencer!

Inside a towering commercial building by the name of “Nagoya,” around a kilometer away, a Sniper fired a shot. The bullet traveled at around 900 meters per second and hit the chest of the NPC with the average clothing while he was in the air, before the Wind Blade Combo being conjured up inside another building or the series of bullets from an a.s.sault rifle could be unleashed.

Bang!

After the 12.7mm sniper bullet, spinning at high speed tore through the s.h.i.+rt and the light bulletproof vest hidden beneath, it entered the chest of this “citizen” and blew his heart to pieces before exiting through his back, leaving behind a frightening hole as wide as a tree trunk!

−4844

A blood-red damage value appeared above the head of the NPC dressed in commoner’s clothes, who had been tightly protected by the Guard team. Lethal damage nearing 5,000 cleared the HP bar of this seemingly ordinary NPC.

As for the two attacks that immediately followed and hit the NPC, they could not even get a single contribution point because they had been a step too slow!

Inside a nearby building, a Wind Manipulator with posh-looking Level-50 gear and a Scout who was also equipped with an entire set of rare Level-50 gear cursed at the same time. “Motherf*cker!” Their eyes were filled with rage!

“What the h.e.l.l?! It can’t be that Sniper again, can it!?”

However, even as they were furious at being denied a portion of the pot after risking their necks, they didn’t dare to stay where they were or to attack again. Above their heads, the few floating patrol aircraft that had failed in their protection services were, at that moment, locked on to their position. The six-barreled electromagnetic machine guns on the aircraft started firing a swarm of bullets at them.

For low-HP, fragile professions like the Scout and the Wind Manipulator, even if they had full sets of Rare equipment, it would be impossible for them to last more than two seconds against such an onslaught!

However, they didn’t need to tank the damage; two Heavy Armor Warriors beside them stepped up, holding heavy alloy s.h.i.+elds in their hands.

Tatata…

−234

−301

−323…

Damage values kept appearing above their heads. Even after casting Immovable Mountain, they were pushed back as the heavy alloy s.h.i.+elds in front of them were heavily battered by the powerful electromagnetic machine guns’ bullets. Their 10,000-plus HP was emptied out in just three seconds!

However, that three-second delay was enough for the two players with the luxurious gears escape according to their plan. Moreover, the Guard team’s floating aircraft did not have enough time to pursue, for suddenly, many attacks suddenly came their way from the ground.

Condensed Fireball, Wind Blade Combo, Energy Meteor… In an instant, more than a dozen attack skills. .h.i.t the few energy aircraft and forced the drivers to pull their vehicles up.

As for the Scout and Wind Manipulator, they seized the opportunity and escaped, fleeing far away. Clearly, the players who had initiated the attacks and the two players with luxurious gear belonged to the same “terrorist cell.”

After initiating the attack, many of them were also locked onto by the a.n.a.lysis system of the aircraft as well as the monitoring system within the city. But, in the end, because they were well-prepared and chose to strategically escape in different directions, only three of the “terrorists” were killed by the pursuing Guards.

As for the mysterious Sniper, who was the source of trouble?

Although the a.n.a.lytical system onboard the Guards’ aircraft managed to pinpoint the firing position through the residual thermal reaction left by the bullets that had flown through the air, by the time they reached the location, what was left was only an empty commercial lot on a high floor with a destroyed control system. And the CCTV of the surrounding buildings hadn’t managed to capture the appearance of the suspicious person!

Nearby, in the megamall building of Nagoya, a young man in casual clothing and wearing a pair of sungla.s.ses boarded an automatic hovercraft, a limited-edition leather bag in his hand.

“Head to the Kabuki Town. Night Tease Bar.”

“Night Tease Bar. Estimated time of arrival, five minutes. Mister Kofuji s.h.i.+nichi, welcome to automatic hovercraft S-38445. Please be seated!”

The automatic hovercraft flew past the chaotic munic.i.p.al building and headed toward the busiest place in the city.

Inside the vehicle, Feng Luo turned on his system logs.
