Chapter 257: Sniping at the Sky
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
An obese caucasian man wearing white silk pajamas poined at the screen in front of him and said, “Hey, why would you bet on an adventurer?. If it’s about pure strength, he’s nothing! Help me place 100 million on this woman. I feel like she’s going to be there till the end!”
On the screen, Haruko, whose black samurai uniform was covered with blood, stood upon a cliff somewhere. She held her Sakura samurai sword in her hands as she stared coldly at the transport vessel closing in from the sky.
Underneath her feet was a beast warrior rebel army Heavy Armor Warrior. He was lying on the ground with disbelief in his eyes. The highly defensive heavy armor he had on and the tough and thorny skin that covered his body formed a double layer defense. However, it had been pierced by a sharp weapon. It had been a one-hit kill!
“What a perfect woman. Strong, beautiful...” The obese man displayed a debauched smile as he placed his bet.
“If he lives, I want all the info on this woman. You should be able to provide that, right?!”
“Of course!” The black-uniformed officer laughed sinisterly.
The NPCs that did not seem ordinary watched the players and rebel army, as well as some citizen NPCs, kill each other inside the manor.
On the edge of Death Hunter island, above the giant boulder, Feng Luo had already raised his Barrett and aimed it into the air.
After the black shuttle-shaped transport vessel reached the sky above the island, it had lowered its altitude to less than 1,000 meters. One by one, the Hunters, who were still wearing their shades and were equipped with guns, jumped out of cabin very quickly. They were wearing landing devices that were somewhat different from the ones Feng Luo and the other contestants used.
There were more than 20 Hunters and they looked like 20 black dots in the sky. They did not initiate their landing devices immediately after exiting the aircraft; instead, they were just in a state of freefall!
Naturally, descending using this type of method was extremely fast. In just over ten seconds, they had already reached an altitude of less than five to six hundred meters. After that, the intelligent landing system on their device kicked in and shot out strong air pressure that slowed their descent.
At the same time, the intelligent control system began to spread out the Hunters’ positions so that they all landed in different spots on Death Hunter Island.
Feng Luo guessed that each of the Hunters would land near to the players ranked in the top 24 contestants left in the game. One of them was flying towards his and Big Pineapple’s position.
However, we yet don’t know who is the hunter and who is the prey!
Pang!
The Barrett’s muffled gunshot rang out from the top of the large boulder on the edge of the beach. A 12.7mm normal Armor-piercing Bullet shot out of the gun barrel as a foot-long flame and gunsmoke burst into the air.
The sound produced by the “Python of Death” sniper rifle, when there was no silencer attached and a flame arrester was added, was incredibly powerful. The power of the shot corresponded to its sound and the bullet that exited the chamber possessed incredible initial speed and lethality.
“Will it hit?” Big Pineapple asked nervously as he held an alloy shield in one hand. In his other hand, he held a pair of military binoculars in order to track the Hunter who had become Feng Luo’s chosen target. He knew that the variables that one had to calculate when aiming for a target in the sky were completely different from shooting a target on the ground.
The intelligent landing device used by the Hunters also made a successful shot more difficult. Additionally, it was highly likely that the Hunter was a robot, so he wouldn’t be affected by the force generated from increased acceleration, which made the descent extremely quick. As such, there was hardly any time remaining for Feng Luo to take aim.
One further issue was that the Hunter’s current distance from Big Pineapple and Feng Luo’s position as almost the limit the Barrett could reach. After all, when shooting at a target in the sky, the distance a bullet could travel was incomparable to shooting at a target on land. This was also the reason why the man wearing the shades had said that it was impossible for Feng Luo to shoot at the transport vessel.
Even if Feng Luo had a sniper rifle like the Barrett in his hands, the bullet wouldn’t be able to travel a thousand meters so high up in the sky. Of course, that was excluding special ammunition with self-acceleration functions.
Pang!
One had to admit that, due to those various factors, even Feng Luo could not guarantee an error-free shot.
Looking through his sniping scope, Feng Luo saw the Armor-piercing Bullet deviate half a meter, fly past the landing device, and strike the back of the Hunter! However, although he was hit, no damage number appeared above the head of the target. The body that was hit by the high-caliber Armor-piercing Bullet did not have a “Blood Cavity” damage special effect. The bullet had hit the side of the Hunter’s body and had slid down it. It had scratched the skin of the opponent, leaving metallic silver material exposed. Feng Luo’s previous prediction had been proven correct. These Hunters were terminator-type robots, after all.
The Hunter was hit while he was still in the sky. After a while, he started to lower himself through the air. The landing device that shot out jet streams on his back also helped him change direction as an unknown heavy weaponry it held seemed to begin to move.
The situation had suddenly become dangerous.
Big Pineapple quickly raised his alloy shield and prepared to help Feng Luo block the attacks of the enemy from above.
Feng Luo’s expression did not change at all after the error of the first shot.
He looked through the sniping scope of the Barrett as he stared straight at the landing device on the Hunter. He was completely focused as he calculated numbers and data that exceeded the limits of ordinary humans.
Pang!
Feng Luo, who already cast Rapid Shooting earlier, fired the next shot from the Barrett within just a few seconds. The Armor-piercing Bullet was spinning at a high-speed as it flew hundreds of meters across the sky. The shot hit the part of the landing device on the Hunter’s chest that was exposed after the Hunter had turned around.
Boom!
It was a shot of extreme difficulty and Feng Luo did not miss.
After the landing device was hit, electromagnetic sparks began to appear, and thick smoke also rose in the sky.
Chiii!
At the same time, the impact of the large-caliber bullet pushed the body of the Hunter to a certain angle.
Ta, ta, ta...
The Hunter’s body position shifted in the sky. The bullets of his heavy, large-caliber gun hit the beach in front of the large boulder that Feng Luo and Big Pineapple had concealed themselves in. These bullets left bowl-sized craters on the beach. Sand flew two to three meters into the air. Clearly, the power of the gun was terrifying.
