Internal Conflict?

“Permanent Enhancement Potion?” The Fire Manipulator, who was still in shock after seeing the five-digit damage value appear, suddenly regained his senses upon hearing Phoenix’s words. Then he quickly looked toward the Tyrant’s corpse.

As expected, among the items dropped by the Tyrant, there was indeed a spiral-tube blue potion.

“T-virus Permanent Enhancement Potion, and it was dropped by a Commander Grade monster. Even if it’s not a perfect grade, it should be at least the excellent grade, right?” The Fire Manipulator’s breathing quickened.

He knew there was no way he would have a chance to get the Permanent Enhancement Potion.

He knew he was definitely not someone capable of messing with the group of five in front of him. The strength that was shown by the group was, without a doubt, at the top-class level.

He suddenly remembered his earlier cursing and his belief that only five superstar players combined would be able to defeat a Tyrant.

In the end, without the female Mechanist doing anything, the group of players dealt with the Level 50 Tyrant easily. The entire battle did not even take more than 20 seconds.

However, immediately after the fight, the Fire Manipulator saw the Sniper suddenly aim his rifle at the Heavy Armor Warrior.

“It looks like they’re going to fight against each other for this Permanent Enhancement Potion.” The Fire Manipulator was shocked at first, but in the next instant, he felt a sense of joy.

...

As the Fire Manipulator was speculating on the side with ill intentions...

“Damn it!” Big Pineapple shouted after being dumbstruck for a brief moment. He raised his alloy shield with his hands; however, instead of shielding his front, he quickly turned around to block.

There was no way Big Pineapple would ever suspect that Feng Luo was aiming for him. With Feng Luo, his good teamwork, and their tacit understanding between each other, he already knew that there was danger behind him.

Roar!

The moment he turned his shield around, the sharp claws and powerful limbs of a Forager, and its tongue shot out faster than a bullet and landed on the shield.

“Pa!”

“-445!”

The Forager’s tongue struck the shield, creating a crisp sound. At the same time, a damage number appeared above Big Pineapple’s head.

“F*ck me! A Forager?” Upon seeing the long and stick dark red tongue almost pierce his head, Big Pineapple looked shocked.

With Feng Luo’s reminder and hint, Big Pineapple was able to directly block the Forager’s most lethal weapon. Additionally, with the effect bonus of his S-grade talent, Heavy, even the tongue of the Forager that could pierce through a skull didn’t inflict high damage to Big Pineapple.

Even though its sneak attack had been blocked by the shield, the Forager’s four powerful limbs were firmly fixed on the alloy shield. It started crawling up the shield as if it was climbing a building wall.

Its head peeked out from the shield as it continued to hiss and roar. The dark red tongue inside its mouth curled outward towards Big Pineapple’s neck.

“Bang!”

The moment the Forager peered its head over the shield, a gunshot rang.

A C-grade Shield-breaking Energy Bullet flew past the edge of the shield and struck the exposed head of the Forager directly. Immediately, the head of the Forager now had a large hole in it.

“-4570!”

Yellow Weak Point Damage!

If it weren’t for the fact that the head was not the main weakness of the Forager, that shot might have been yet another five-digit damage number.

Even though it was just weak-point damage, the force generated from the powerful impact of the Shield-breaking Energy Bullet managed to make the Forager’s head tilt to one side, and the tongue that wrapped around Big Pineapple’s neck did not manage to complete its job.

“Shield Bash!” Big Pineapple, who had returned to his senses, reacted and flung his shield upward.

“-1400!”

The Expert Level Shield Bash’s strength bonus was quite decent. The Forager was also considered a humanoid monster. Though the Shield Bash skill could not inflict the pain negative status effect on the Forager, it could still effectively generate the “stun” status.

The Forager that had half its head blown to pieces instantly became slower and duller after being bashed by the alloy shield.

“Bang!”

“-4072!”

This time, the shot interval of the Eye of the Thunder had shortened even more. The Forager that had just regained its consciousness and had tried to attack Big Pineapple received a direct headshot from Feng Luo that blew up its head.

The Sniper’s high-level Rapid Shooting skill.

Feng Luo did not let down his guard and relax, even after killing a Level 50 Elite monster with two shots. Instead, he had become even more vigilant, especially regarding the Tyrant in front of him.

Several shadowy figures stained with blood around Big Pineapple suddenly began to get up from the ground. Including the two players who were killed by the Energy SUV thrown by the Tyrant earlier.

At that moment, they were no longer players. It had dark red muscles, a highly morphed skeletal structure, bloodshot dark red eyes, and limbs that became extremely powerful, as well as incredibly tough and sharp claws. They had all become Foragers.

“What’s with this situation!?” Phoenix widened her eyes and was unable to understand the situation quickly.

“We’ve made a mistake! We forgot that players killed by zombies and Tyrants would become Elite Grade monsters.” Feng Luo cursed himself lightly. His focus was previously on the Tyrant, and after that, he focused his attention on the system messages. In the end, he had actually forgotten the fact that players would turn into monsters, which was an incredibly important question.

All of the mutant players got back up, eight in total Foragers.

“Bang!”

“-4390!”

The Eye of the Thunder in Feng Luo’s hands produced yet another dull and muffled sound. The light blue sniper bullet struck the head of the Forager and inflicted over 4,000 damage.

If it was a Fatal Damage shot, looking at the damage inflicted on the Tyrant, Feng Luo felt that he had a chance of one-shotting the Forager.

The Forager also knew that; that was why when it crawled forward, it hid its heart tightly below its body, and Feng Luo could only go for the next best choice.

“Bang!”

Under the effect of Rapid Shooting, Feng Luo’s second shot followed after just 0.7 seconds.

As for the Forager that had lost half its HP, its remaining HP couldn’t withstand the second shot and died immediately.

However, the rest of the Foragers, apart from the two that charged toward Big Pineapple, had already spread out to the trees and the roads, crawling at high-speed toward Feng Luo and the other three.

Feng Luo and the others were less than 40 to 50 meters away from the Foragers. The time needed for the Foragers to cover this distance was only around two seconds.

This meant that, even if Feng Luo could kill one per second, in this short time frame, he would only be able to kill two at most.

This sudden turn of events was clearly more dangerous than when they faced the Level 50 Tyrant.

“Ta, ta, ta!”

Just as the Foragers began to charge, machine gun fire that sounded louder and denser than the firing of submachine guns came from behind Feng Luo and the other three.

Yes, that’s right. Machine gun fire!

A stream of searing hot machine gun bullets flew towards the two Foragers in the street.

“-354, -365, -374...”

The two Foragers charging from the street were covered by the stream of bullets, and their bodies made up of only muscles suddenly had multiple bullet wounds.

A two-meter tall humanoid mechanical soldier constructed from metal stood in front of Digital Cat, who was wearing her tech spectacles and white lab coat. The humanoid soldier had pitch-black eye sockets with two flashing red dots in between each socket.

In its right hand, a four-barrel machine gun spun at high-speed. Four pillars of flame shot out from each of the barrels as bullets flew toward the Foragers.

There is no need to doubt the damage of a multi-barrel machine gun. Although the firing speed of the four-barrel machine gun could never compare to the six-barrel, Foragers were only Elite Grade monsters. For them, the damage inflicted by the mecha of players didn’t experience any damage reduction. (Note: Mecha and machine gun damage on Commander Grade and above experienced a certain degree of damage reduction.)

Amidst the roaring of the machine gun, the two Foragers were pinned to the ground by the impact of the bullets. Their heads were completely blown off.

The entire process only took one second.
