Chapter 64

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-meter 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 immediately 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-meter range .

“We can now start!” Feng Luo half-crouched on the ground, and with his sniper rifle raised, he aimed 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 seemed 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 immediately 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 seemed 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 game 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 movements and actions of their leaders, they did not follow immediately to dodge and hide; instead, several of them were still shouting on the deck with their weapons raised .

After some 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 seemed a bit slow, it was important to remember that this was a sniper kill from 1,000 meters 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 something fly by his eyes . Immediately 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 came 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 metal cabin wall . Clearly, the Second Pirate Head that Feng Luo had not been able to find was a Sniper hiding in some dark area; moreover, he was a sniper with a decent attack .

Right now, the distance between them was at least 800 meters . 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 time, but his reaction wasn’t slow, either . He immediately 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 some HP!” said Feng Luo .

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

“Let me!” 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 lament how different it was with a Doctor around .

Bang!

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