Fatal Shot Chapter 64 - Pirates (Part 6)

Chapter 64: Pirates (Part 6)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The pirate ship modified from the military vessel was comparably faster than Hui Yi Hao, so after a dozen or so seconds, it was already within the 1,250-ter range.

This was already within the shooting range of the M110, but Feng Luo did not hurry to shoot. He was not sure how high the AI of these pirates were. If they were like the rebel army, once they were attacked, they would react with the correct tactic, which is to imdiately hide. Then, even if they had sniper rifles, they would not be able to eliminate many pirates.

So the best way was to wait and only shoot when the pirate ship entered Black Panther’s range. This way, both of them would be sniping, and they would be able to kill as many pirates as they could before they hid. After another two minutes. The pirates finally entered the 1,000-ter range.

“We can now start!” Feng Luo half-crouched on the ground, and with his sniper rifle raised, he aid at his first target.

Bang!

The M110 let out a dull-sounding gunshot. A D-grade deflagration armor-piercing bullet exited the cartridge and flew toward the pirate ship.

The main target: the Pirate Manipulator!

−1125

The Level-44 Pirate Water Manipulator Captain was hit in the chest, and a white damage value appeared above his head. Maximum Shooting’s effect of an 80 percent increase was instantly seen. The shot was quite far. It did not deal weak-point damage, but it still dealt as much as 1,100 damage!

Moreover, the burning effect of the deflagration armor-piercing bullet was triggered, so, in an instant, the Pirate Water Manipulator’s Energy Robe was flaming. Above his head, “-50” numbers of burn damage kept appearing!

Following the first shot, the second deflagration armor-piercing bullet also quickly exited the muzzle. The gap between the two shots was only 1.5 seconds. However, Feng Luo underestimated the Pirate Head. After getting hit, the Pirate Water Manipulator’s reaction was not to try to put out the fire by beating against it; instead, the staff in his hand flashed, and, in an instant, a light blue half-transparent shield covered his body.

Bang!

The second deflagration armor-piercing bullet was blocked by the Water Shield, and the Pirate Manipulator Captain had already taken cover behind a bunker.

“Really high AI. This is gonna be tough!”

Feng Luo frowned slightly. Initially, he wanted to directly get rid of this Pirate Manipulator. After all, although it was an over Level-40 Elite monster, as a humanoid monster, it did not have high HP. Without a shield, there was a chance that it would die in two shots. However, it seed now that these pirates were definitely similar to the Elite Captains of the rebel army. They had mid-rank AI, and their combat awareness was not lower than average players.

After the Water Manipulator was shot, the Light Armor Warrior Pirate Captain also imdiately hid himself. Even the Third Head, “Scarface,” quickly raised a shield from the deck, hiding himself as well as the Pirate Head wearing the military hat behind it.

It seed like their plan for capturing the ringleader first in order to capture all the followers had already failed!

Fortunately, not all of the humanoid monsters had such high AI. After all, the computing power of the main computer that controlled the ga was limited. Normally, only Commander-level humanoid monsters or high-ranking NPCs would possess intelligence around the level of humans.

The normal pirate minions were clumsier. Although they saw the movents and actions of their leaders, they did not follow imdiately to dodge and hide; instead, several of them were still shouting on the deck with their weapons raised.

After so thought, Feng Luo temporarily gave up the idea of killing the pirate leaders. Instead, he would focus on dealing with these normal pirates. With the D attack coefficient of the M110 and its attack of over 600, even without a double armor-piercing round, it would be quite easy to break through their defenses and deal a fatal shot.

−2599

You’ve killed Pirate (Level 35 Normal). Received 30 experience!

−2864

You’ve killed Pirate (Level 36 Normal). Received 31 experience!

The M110 rang out consecutively. Every three shots killed one normal pirate, on average. One kill in three shots seed a bit slow, it was important to rember that this was a sniper kill from 1,000 ters away. Moreover, both parties were on shaking ships. At that distance, one second would elapse between the bullet leaving the cartridge and reaching its destination, so the efficiency was not low at all.

Moreover, apart from Feng Luo, Black Panther’s attacks never stopped. His sniper rifle, paired with the unique bullets’ offensive power, was even higher. As long as his bullet hit, it was a certain kill.

The pirates on the deck dropped to the ground in succession. Within a minute, Feng Luo had already sniped and killed nine pirate minions. However, just as Feng Luo made a new pirate minion his target and was about to press on the trigger, he thought he saw sothing fly by his eyes. Imdiately after that, his left shoulder felt a strong impact.

Bang!

−1540

You’ve been hit by the Second Head of the Black Fire Pirates, “Poison Snake.” Lost 1540 HP!

A searing pain ca from his shoulder, and his entire arm went numb. His new Level-40 Excellent-grade combat uniform with decent defense now had a burnt hole in it, courtesy of the bullet.

“Sniper!”

Feng Luo bit his lip and endured the pain as he quickly rolled his body to the side.

Bang!

An armor-piercing bullet struck the place he had been previously located, puncturing a hole through the tal cabin wall. Clearly, the Second Pirate Head that Feng Luo had not been able to find was a Sniper hiding in so dark area; moreover, he was a sniper with a decent attack.

Right now, the distance between them was at least 800 ters. To deal 1,540 damage in one shot—if that shot had hit his vital spot, it might have even KO’ed him in one go. Of course, the probability of that happening was not high. After all, ever since equipping the Badge of Honor, his HP was as high as 3,700.

“Old Feng, what’s wrong?” Big Pineapple, who was standing while holding his shield, did not react in ti, but his reaction wasn’t slow, either. He imdiately raised his alloy shield and completely blocked off the two of them.

“There’s a Sniper among the pirates, and he’s an Elite monster,” said Feng Luo. “The estimated Level is over 45!”

Feng Luo felt the pain in his shoulder slowly subside. It was a good thing it had not created a Disabled special effect. Otherwise, he would not have been able to shoot for a while.

“F*ck, that’s so annoying!” Big Pineapple’s brows furrowed together into a bunch. He clearly found the situation quite irritating.

“I have to recover so HP!” said Feng Luo.

But just as he was prepared to take out his blood tonic—

“Let !” White Crescent said. She was already beside the two of them. She extended a hand and slapped a blood tonic on Feng Luo’s body.

White Crescent applied a D-grade Healing Pack on you. Recovered 1505 HP. Received 80 HP per second recovery for 20 seconds!

Feng Luo felt a sudden warmth as the blood tonic started flowing all over his body from the applied location. His HP, which was reduced by almost half, recovered in an instant to almost full health. As for White Crescent, her hands did not stop. She threw two more healing packs on Feng Luo.

White Crescent applied MJ-23 pack on you. Received bonus 15 agility for 600 seconds!

White Crescent applied HP-36 pack on you. Received increase of Max HP by 300 for 600 seconds!

Seeing his attack increased due to a small increase in agility and his HP breaking through the 4,000 threshold, Feng Luo could not help but lant how different it was with a Doctor around.

Bang!

Again, the sound of bullets hitting flesh. From the team’s communication channel ca Black Panther’s grunt. Clearly, he had also been hit by the pirate Sniper.
