Heavy rain poured from the sky. Occasional lightning would light up Roguetown below.
On the ground, a fierce battle was ongoing. Intense gunshots were interwoven, and the sound was in no way inferior to that of the thunder. As for the bright and colorful explosions created by all kinds of energy skills, they were in no way inferior to the flashes of lightning, either.
The people from the Umbrella Corporation had the absolute initiative, and, relying on the advantage they had gained from the beginning, they had already pressed the guard soldiers and players inside the retail shops and multi-storied buildings.
As for the initially huge number of citizens and tourists, some of them had already run away while others had become corpses in the streets during the course of battle.
For Captain Harley, this breakout operation was already a failure. Multiple citizens had been killed while the firetruck and the three patrol vehicles were broken down. As for the guard of the town, they could only hide inside the building and rely on the guns in their hands and their soon-to-be depleted ammunition to make a hopeless last stand.


For the players, however, it was not yet time to despair.
This was because the mission target, Director Locke, was still alive even in this chaotic situation thanks to their focused defending. It also meant that their highly important city-building mission could still be completed. And although their dead numbered more than the enemy at that moment, they still had seven people left, which exceeded the opponents.
However, the current situation was still very serious. The attack from the armed forces of the Umbrella Corporation and the opposing players had completely blocked the path in front of them. The large zombie horde behind them was still continuously closing in on them. Some zombies were even wailing as they tried to break into the shops the players were hiding in. As for ammunition supplies, although there wasn’t much left, they could still hold out for a while.

On the other side, the Heavy Armor Warrior who was the leader of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group didn’t have it easy either. Most of the opponents were already trapped inside the few shops and were experiencing a pincer attack from them and the zombie horde. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before they were eliminated.
However, there were still two Snipers who weren’t within the encirclement!
Although there were only two Snipers, the threat they posed was much more than that of the players and NPC guards pressed inside the building combined! It was because these two Snipers were real experts! One of them had already killed over five Umbrella Corporation armed personnel as well as one Manipulator player, reducing their firepower significantly. As for the other one, he had killed two Light Armor Warriors single-handedly just a little while ago. For him to have taken out these two associates himself, he must have been an expert.
More importantly, due to the stormy weather, the monitoring capabilities of the Umbrella Corporation had completely lost track of the second Sniper’s location. These sorts of hidden threats were often the most fatal!

Damn it! If I’d known this mission would turn out like this, I would have just brought two more Snipers!

The reason the Heavy Armor Warrior was grumbling was that apart from the threat posed by the enemy Snipers, the situation had become uncontrollable due to the initial rashness of the Sniper on his side, which had caused him to get killed instantly.


They were both Snipers; he could only lament that he had a God-like opponent and a pig-like teammate!

Fire, fire! Suppress them! Do not let them out!
The Heavy Armor Warrior shouted through the communicator channel as he commanded the remaining players and over a dozen armed personnel from the Umbrella Corporation currently scattered about and shooting.
As he shouted, he raised his shield and provided cover for a Machine Gunner and a Doctor player. They still had the initiative at the moment because as long as they could keep the enemy pressed within the few shops, the large zombie horde would help them eliminate the enemies. That had been their battle plan from the very beginning.

Everyone pay attention. Be careful of Snipers, do not engage them!

Just as the Heavy Armor Warrior was giving orders loudly, a barely detectable fingernail-sized beetle had already reached a location above them, flapping its wings with great difficulty amid the storm.
In the corner of a street less than 100 meters away from the Heavy Armor Warrior, the muzzle of a gun could be seen through the flashes of lightning. Behind a wall, a sniper rifle that seemed to have electricity coursing through it was already aimed at the Machine Gunner from the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group who was firing suppressing fire at the players from the Lu Conglomerate!
Bang!
A light-blue sniper bullet pierced through the curtain of rain as it flew across the distance. The bullet, spinning at high speed pierced through rainwater and created a path in the air that was difficult for a normal eye to discern!

The Machine Gunner—who was initially using the six-barrelled machine gun to lay down suppressive fire—could not help but jerk at that moment. Above his head, weak-point damage nearing 3,500 appeared.



Careful!
the Heavy Armor Warrior said, reacting quickly. He swung the alloy shield in his hand and immediately blocked the Machine Gunner behind it.
It’s another Sniper!

The Heavy Armor Warrior felt somewhat relieved.
I’m not afraid of you appearing, he thought. I was more afraid that you would keep hiding forever!
However, the moment his shield covered the Machine Gunner…
Bang!
−5057
Red lethal damage appeared overtop of the exposed Doctor’s head because the Heavy Armor Warrior had shifted his position. Then the Doctor player, who had been preparing to replenish the HP of the Machine Gunner, fell on the ground. The HP was at less than 5 percent—a
heavy injury
status!
The direction of that shot—and Feng Luo’s direction—was around 60 degrees, and it used a unique C-grade bullet that was similar to the shield-breaking bullet that increased one’s attack. However, its attack was far less than Feng Luo’s M110.
The Python of Death was a rare Sniper rifle among all the current best players. Paired with the effects of the unique bullets that increased one’s attack percentage, a single shot was enough to put the Doctor player in a
heavy injury
status.
As a matter of fact, there was even more! If this Doctor player hadn’t fused with the T-virus, allowing his HP and defense to greatly increase, it was highly probable that he would have been killed.



Ah Nuan!

Upon seeing the Doctor fall to the ground, the Heavy Armor Warrior did not have time to think. He raised his shield and ran toward the Doctor out of habit. Due to the amount of HP, no matter where the next shot hit, it would bring about death and a level-drop!
However, the Heavy Armor Warrior’s emotional reaction was undoubtedly the wrong choice! Because after that, two gunshots rang out consecutively. A light-blue bullet and an orange bullet hit the Machine Gunner, who did not have time to get cover.

A flash of white light signified that the player with the strongest suppressive firepower of the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group had lost all his HP!

Lin Feng!
shouted the Heavy Armor Warrior with wide eyes as he shielded and dragged the Doctor player to a location that was out of the line of fire of the Snipers.
