The Scout player let out a painful groan while two yellow damage coefficients appeared above his head!

At the same time, after exploding upon hitting the target, the flammable substance in the C-Grade explosive armor-piercing bullet stained his combat uniform, quickly resulting in a few red spots of fire!

If not for the high grade of the combat uniform on the Scout and the fact that he probably had higher Fire and Electricity resistance—plus the fact that this shot of Feng Luo’s struck the point where his hand was holding the submachine gun rather than his chest, head, or critical points—the Scout player would have likely entered a “heavily injured” state or even lost his life due to the Rare attribute of the Eye of the Thunder!

But even so, with Feng Luo’s shot causing weak-point damage, the Scout player’s HP had dropped by more than half.

And even though he was not “heavily injured,” being “electric shocked” by the activated Eye of the Thunder’s Rare attribute meant that his body was unable to move!

“What are you doing?!”

Because the conflict had happened so fast, most of the people on the platform were unable to react. Only then did the three companions beside the North City Scout react. The Light Armor Warrior among the three of them quickly stepped in front of the Scout, using his body to block Feng Luo’s line of sight, whereas the Fire Manipulator also quickly put a fiery-red Energy Shield over himself, his Energy Converter also lit.

The last remaining Doctor hurriedly applied a Blood Tonic and a Debuff Potion on the Scout with only half his HP left!

“As I said before, it’s a warning!” Feng Luo was cold, not putting down the Eye of the Thunder in his hands!

“Humph! Yet again, it’s Big Brother Feng who is so resolute. I actually considered doing this long before. He even deliberately pushed your two shop assistants before, nearly allowing them to be bitten by a zombie!”

Skynet showed a similar coldness on his face as he followed suit, raising the sniper rifle in his hands!

In fact, on the way to this platform, the Scout had actually already requested ditching the “burdens” many times. After Skynet had coldly refused, he’d even used the fact that he was a Scout and was able to discover the positions of infected units in advance, thanks to having a Recon Meter, to deliberately push Jing Xiang and Lan down in secret while running toward the platform. By doing so, he had hoped to let a hidden zombie bite Jing Xiang, saving him a bit of trouble!

Skynet had discovered this on time and had shot the zombie dead. The Scout had instantly denied what he’d done, and without first-hand evidence—plus the fact that there were still a few Lickers chasing them from behind—Skynet hadn’t been in a good position to turn the tables on this fellow with decent equipment!

Moreover, two average shop assistant NPCs weren’t too important in the eyes of typical players. However, this Scout player’s unscrupulous words and pranks had already given Skynet an unhappy feeling. In addition, Watermelon Skin had also had a conflict with him before.

One step before Skynet, with a grave face, Watermelon Skin raised the sniper rifle in his hands with the hollow black T-shaped large-caliber muzzle lit by the flare!

Three sniper rifles aimed. If they hit someone, there was no doubt that anyone other than a Heavy Armor Warrior with his shield up would never have been able to stand up to it! Let alone My World, similarly with a cold face, or Azure, who had a Debuff Potion held in her hand long before.

Moreover, because the people on the platform were just beside the VIP zone, Ultimate Heavy Armor, who had been guarding at the VIP zone entrance, had a cold face as he displayed poise that indicated readiness for battle!

“Well...”

The faces of the two people standing across at the front had turned really grim. It had to be mentioned that these people of the North City team were now feeling really troubled! With their personalities, they previously didn’t even consider My World; only Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor with their decent equipment made them slightly fearful.

But now, the civilian team, which they had initially considered not to be a threat, had been swiftly upgraded. Having exchanged their top halves for high-quality Rare equipment, My World and Ultimate Heavy Armor were no less remarkable than they were in terms of equipment—or even better!

The Barrett in Watermelon Skin’s hands was obviously not a typical high-threat piece of equipment! What about Azure, who was the only one who did not change her equipment?

More importantly, for a Doctor player, one’s skill level was of primary concern; equipment was secondary. And some of Azure’s profession skills were even higher in level than the Doctor players on their team. In addition to Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor, they were quickly at a disadvantage!

Of course, the one who had made them most fearful was still Feng Luo!

Since Feng Luo had revealed himself, they had seen him fire a total of three bullets. The first shot was when everyone had failed to react—a shot that accurately hit the octopus tentacle wrapped around the waist of the casual Scout player who had flown into the air! If not for the Giant Octopus Commander being unbothered the players’ attacks, the shot might have had a chance to save that Scout!

The second shot had brushed past the face of the Scout, missing by less than one centimeter. A miss was a miss, but it was clear to everyone, based on Feng Luo’s words, that this shot hadn’t been a miss at all!

The third shot had also proven this point; before the Scout player could raise his submachine gun and pull the trigger, Feng Luo had swiftly fired another bullet after the first, which had knocked the opponent’s gun to the ground. What kind of accuracy and reaction time did this require?

“Luck? Or is it skill...?”

If it was just one shot, they probably would have been willing to attribute such shooting to sheer luck.

However, it had been three consecutive shots... a callback to what Azure had previously said: “Wait and you’ll see what a true Sniper expert is!”

Even if their brains were in their asses, everyone would now understand that this Sniper—who had initially been wearing quality Light Armor Warrior equipment—was truly a top expert who truly honored the rifle!

More importantly, this expert also had horrifying attack power! Just a shot to the hand of a Scout with full-set Rare equipment had been able to break his Rare-grade combat gloves and deplete half his HP.

If that shot had been aimed at another position, such as the chest or the throat, wouldn’t it have been...?

“It’s not just the equipment problem. His Talent is definitely an attack-type Talent, too. Plus, it’s one of a high level!”

The three people had all thought of this, their faces turning grim to the core.

The Light Armor Warrior couldn’t help but show a submissive expression. “My friend, it was a misunderstanding! That previous situation was definitely not on purpose. It was really just an accident. Plus, our team leader didn’t think that these three were actually your ‘shop assistants.’ That was why he was only making a joking suggestion just now—it was all just a misunderstanding!”

His reaction was faster. Based on Skynet’s words, he already understood that the two shop assistant NPCs, who hadn’t seemed all that important, were actually this Sniper’s shop staff.

He also quickly understood the reason for Feng Luo’s cold face! Although deep inside, he was a little clueless as to why Feng Luo actually took such worthless low-level civilian NPCs so seriously, he could only keep quiet on the matter, since Feng Luo was more powerful.

“A misunderstanding? You must be kidding!”

Feng Luo wouldn’t have guessed that this Scout player would still be capable of something like this. Otherwise, his previous shot wouldn’t have been aimed at his hand!

Therefore, his expression didn’t lighten at all as he still stared coldly at the Light Armor Warrior.

“It’s indeed... a misunderstanding...” the Light Armor Warrior said with a sheepish smile. “It is...”

He hadn’t even finished his words when the Scout player’s voice resounded from behind him, cold and enraged! “F*ck! Who says it’s a joke?!”

In the face of such a tragic situation, the Light Armor Warrior’s expression changed. “Leader, you...”

The Scout player actually wasn’t going along with him. Rather, he interrupted his words after recovering from the electric shock. Instantly, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense!
