Now he knew where that supermodel monster was. Those red eyes were right behind the gap torn open by the mantis knife. He immediately whipped out his submachine gun and pulled the trigger relentlessly at the container.
After a burst of gunfire, the container before him was riddled with bullets like a sieve, but it didn’t hit the opponent. Almost instantly, those red eyes vanished.
Having failed the ambush, Shui Yue lamented, "My brother, this one’s even tougher than that full ghost-face elite monster we fought at the Tiger Claw gang’s base last time."
"If the Tiger Claw’s full ghost-face was anything like that, I wouldn’t need you guys; I could’ve just run away myself." Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIＦire.net
Brother Ni made up his mind: By all means, he was taking down this guy today. With one punch, he smashed the battered container in front.
"Chase! This guy is definitely not as strong as the one we met last time."
While the two of them were surrounded, the Voucher and Baldhead didn’t stay hidden, and each started attacking the gang members encircling Brother Ni.
Several smoke grenades dropped into the crowd, thick smoke spread out, and a dark figure dashed from the shadows into the sea of mist. With his thermal vision plug-in, he could clearly see the bright figures in the fog, catching one with a swift punch to the opponent’s neck and spine, with a crack, breaking it directly; the force was so great it seemed as though he could knock the head off the neck.
Then followed up with a sweeping leg and a fierce kick, taking another one down.
Non-killing principle?
Sorry, this is BADMAN!
In a corner, Baldhead was stealthily firing with a silenced pistol. His level wasn’t as high as the others, and he hadn’t invested in melee skills, nor had he focused on stealth. He relied solely on hiding. Each shot was a headshot, and he moved as soon as he fired a few shots.
As the firefight stretched on, more and more players arrived and joined the fray.
The Sword Saint, holding a heavy machine gun, blasted the lock off the door with a few shots before kicking it open, all the while with a cigar in his mouth.
"Is the Lustful Holy Ring worth it? I want to see if it’s more useful than the white silk wall lady I sold."
Masked Rider: "Isn’t that for sterility? Are you sure you want to use it?"
The firepower confrontation between both sides escalated rapidly.
After several battles and countless deaths, the players’ combat capabilities couldn’t be matched by a bunch of gangsters, not even close to fighting ten at a time. Easily three or four could be handled.
These Vortex Gang cultists were highly modified, yet they were essentially trash prosthetics; most were white-grey, their combat capability was dependent on the guns they held, and they didn’t even have a numbers advantage. The entire base only comprised about twenty people, with seven or eight committing suicide; the remaining dozen quickly lost their resistance under the players’ encirclement.
Meanwhile, Brother Ni and Shui Yue had already collided with that elite monster.
Brother Ni charged forward with dual axes, leaping and chopping toward the elite monster. The elite monster easily dodged sideways, intending to stab and kill this berserk warrior, but the sideways Shui Yue immediately shot at her, with an exceedingly cunning firing direction, forcing her to retreat and dodge.
With a teammate’s aid, Brother Ni no longer thought of retreating. After a failed strike, he immediately activated Sianweistan pursuit, and the sharp axes sliced through the air, heading straight for the elite monster’s face.
The elite monster also simultaneously activated Sianweistan, leaning back into a bridge pose to dodge the horizontal slash. But at this moment, a rope was thrown from the shadows on the side and directly entangled her legs.
Voucher, holding the other end of the rope, jumped for joy, preparing to hang the creature up high. However, a blade popped out from her knee, easily tearing the rope apart, with intentions of counterattacking.
Until a specially crafted crossbow bolt hit her waist.
Although it did not directly penetrate her subdermal armor, the arrowhead released a high-voltage current that immediately paralyzed the elite monster.
Two fists can’t fight four hands, a hero can’t withstand a pack of wolves, more so these folks whose minds constantly think of pioneering new combat methods and establishing new paths.
The high-voltage current disrupted the operation of the entire Prosthetic System, leaving her twitching on the ground.
The elite monster obviously didn’t have an insulated coating; the Vortex Gang didn’t have the resources to give her superior prosthetics.
Not to mention explosives, electric arrows, some even planned to use sulfuric acid to make acid arrows.
Seeing the attack succeed and the monster momentarily rigid, the archery Baldhead loudly cheered. Others weren’t idle, promptly picking up the remaining Voucher rope to bind her tightly.
The battle outside resolved even quicker than inside. The cultist players weren’t confronting a few brave players on their own. Some even regretted arriving a step too late to snatch kills.
"Hacker! Is there any hacker?"
Brother Ni sensed something was wrong with this creature, just relying on ropes wasn’t secure.
"This one! This one!"
Rookie hacker [Cyber Reaper V] raised a USB drive, saying
"I’m definitely not good enough. The access pod I just bought hasn’t been tested yet. This signal receiver is connected to Lucy’s demon puppet; she can certainly handle this one."
The players were all intent on catching this elite monster alive, not killing it directly.
If, by chance, as Brother Ni said, they could obtain new dungeon information from her, killing would be like the proverb ’killing the chicken to get an egg.’
Moreover, this creature was the Vortex Gang’s sacrificial hostage, killing it directly wouldn’t be too good either.
But before Reaper V could plug in the receiver, the elite monster recovered from the paralysis first. A single electro-bolt voltage wasn’t enough to fry her brain components.
She found herself tightly bound and immediately roared in fury.
Her consciousness was in utter chaos, as if many people were screaming in her mind, suffering... madness....
