At that moment, William no longer cared about attacking Feng Luo.
“Argh!”
He was holding his head with both his arms and shaking it continuously. The muscles on his recovered face distorted while the pupil of the large eyeball on his shoulder kept darting from left to right, his pupils were dilating and constricting alternatively.
“No… No…”
William roared as if he was having an intense battle with something.
“Kill… Kill me…”
At last, his entire body knelt on the ground, his arms hugging his head while he struggled. He shouted and let out a voice full of suffering.
The situation, without a doubt, caught several players off guard.
They were surprised and shocked that William suddenly had the invisibility ability similar to Nightingale. Then, they were stunned by the fact that Sally was caught in William’s arms, which made it so players with long-range attacks would not dare to attack. The chain of events occurred in quick succession and the players could not react quickly.
Whether it was Onishi or Digital Cat, who was shooting with the medical pistol, they simply stood in place, slightly dazed.
Compared to the players, Aida Wong only frowned slightly.
She put the two high caliber revolvers which she had emptied back into the gun holster. Then, she brought forward a high caliber gun that looked like a shotgun from her back and replaced the two revolvers.
Upon hearing William’s words, she decisively aimed the gun at William’s chest.
“Bam!”
“-345, -334, -305, -299, -311…”
As she pulled the trigger, dozens of tiny bullets shot out from the gun barrel as a loud gunshot rang through the air.
The activity caused by the gun, without a doubt, exceeded all of the guns Feng Luo had ever used. As the bullets hit William’s body, a bunch of damage points instantly appeared.
Every bullet caused hundreds of points in damage. It was a single shot that inflicted more than 10,000 damage. Even if William’s HP was constantly recovering quickly, it could not withstand the attack damage of the gun and his HP kept decreasing.
“Kill… Kill me… Argh!”
However, Aida Wong’s attack damage alone was still not fast enough.
Although William was struggling and screaming on the ground, his consciousness was clearly unable to fully control his body.
The recovered claw that grew out of the scapula was now being flung around in the air. His muscle, covered in newly grown skin, and his spinal column were expanding rapidly. It seemed as if he was about to mutate again.
As a Level 60 Quasi-Boss, his performance earlier made it clear that he was a difficult opponent.
If he were to evolve further, the situation might deteriorate to the point where they could not solve the issue even with the help of two NPC Special Agents.
After all, it was impossible that another Apache would come as their backup.
…
“Bang!”
“-3455!”
As such, after Aida Wong fired her gun, Feng Luo also took the Tyrant Revolver he placed on his tactical vest out and started shooting one handed.
After he awakened the Force, even if he only held the gun singlehandedly, he would still be able to endure the powerful recoil from the Tyrant Revolver. This made it so that switching between the Eye of the Thunder, the Tyrant Revolver, or Ghost Weep a lot easier.
“Ta, ta, ta…”
As for Onishi, Big Pineapple, and Digital Cat; they also started attacking William, who was still on the ground.
“Daddy…” Sally, who was in Feng Luo’s arms, was barely conscious. Two beaded tears rolled down Sally’s face and fell on the golden necklace with the blissful family photograph.
…
After a few seconds, William, whose body size had at least doubled, looked at his daughter in Feng Luo’s arms with a sense of relief and longing before completely closing his eyes.
A notification sound rang in the ears of the five players at the same time.
[You’ve taken part in killing William (Level 60, Quasi-Boss). Contribution: 5.2%. Obtained Experience: 7,530. Obtained Merits: 52.]
“He’s dead? He’s dead! What is this situation? Why did the Boss suddenly ask to die? I thought we were going to lose at least two people.” Big Pineapple was quite puzzled.
Among the mission briefing information provided by the system, there was nothing on Sally’s father, William. As such, Big Pineapple still had no idea what had just happened.
“It should be the storyline. If my guesses are correct, the identity of the Boss should be Sally’s father.” Digital Cat stood on the side, her eyes under her spectacles stared blankly at William’s corpse.
Although the system did not provide an explanation, she had guessed the inside story through the information provided by Onishi earlier, when he said that William’s surname was Parkins.
“Yeah. No wonder there’s a Level 60 Quasi-Boss here. It’s not something we can deal with at the moment.” Onishi said, agreeing with Digital Cat’s statement, guessing the same.
“In fact… It’s not…” Feng Luo gazed toward a spot not far away. Aida Wong held a female cigarette with her fingers while standing beside her Heavy Energy Motorcycle.
The woman gave him a sense that she had not yet fully exposed her real strength.
Compared to Nightingale who lost his competitiveness after getting heavily injured, the mysterious Special Agent who was always involved in dangerous situations, was an unknown factor for the players.
After all, one should not forget that this mission was supposed to be a cooperative and competitive mission.
As if noticing Feng Luo’s gaze, Aida Wong curled her red lips slightly upward.
“Bah, I can’t be bothered with these things anymore. Old Feng, I’m gonna go pick up some items…” Big Pineapple clearly did not like thinking about those things. At that moment, his eyes were staring at the loot emanating a white glow all around William’s body.
“Go ahead. But… Yeah, I seem to have forgotten something.” As the captain, especially when the party did not have a designated loot picker, Feng Luo was supposed to be the one responsible for picking up items.
Since Big Pineapple was interested and no one else objected to it, he could go ahead and pick them up.
When Big Pineapple mentioned picking up items, Feng Luo was reminded of something, that he needed to extract a certain amount of William’s blood and bring it back to Lin.
After gathering multiple samples of the mutated humans and animals caused by the Evolution Virus that he encountered from today and yesterday, Feng Luo believed that the progress of the Epic Level mission of creating the “Perfect Evolution Virus” would greatly increase, and wondered if he would be able to receive a reward.
…
A small metallic silver syringe, a light purple metallic tube that was structured like a syringe, and a translucent information chip; these were the items dropped by William.
As a Quasi-Boss, the number of items dropped by William was incredibly low for the level it was, and could be described as stingy.
One should know that normally, killing a Quasi-Boss grade monster necessitated the death of several players. As such, the number of items dropped by such a monster would generally be a lot more than a Commander Grade monster.
The reason why the number of items dropped was low this time was probably due to the fact that they relied heavily on the NPCs in killing William.
However, one could not deny that, though the number was low, the stats of the items were incredible.
When they read the stats of the first item, apart from Feng Luo, Big Pineapple and the rest started to pant heavily.
[G-virus Pet Evolution Fluid.]
After using the fluid, there’s a certain probability that the pet will experience an evolution (Elite Grade Pets will have a 100% chance to evolve into Commander Grade Pets; Commander Grade Pets will have a 10% chance to evolve into a Quasi-Boss Grade pet).
