Fatal Shot

Chapter 398: Isolation Zone

When Feng Luo entered the game, he opened his eyes and found that he was lying inside what seemed like a large military tent, his surroundings were incredibly noisy.

“This… Where is this?” Feng Luo crawled out of the tent and looked around, puzzled.

He noticed that there were many other tents just like the one he was in. White flashes of light that signified players coming online kept coming from many of the tents.

“Brother Feng, you’re finally online!” The deep voice of Dan Hen appeared. He was seated with a bunch of other players on a grass plain outside a tent.

Dan Hen, Ion Flame, Security Door, Alarm, Ultimate Heavy Armor, Steel Fortress. There were also a few players Feng Luo did not recognize who also had the Veterans Tribe logo pinned on their chest.

“F*ck me! Expert! Idol! You’re finally online!”

Seeing Feng Luo get out of the tent, a thin Scout player from Veterans Tribe, whom Feng Luo had seen before, stood up excitedly and rushed towards Feng Luo, almost ramming into him.

“Idol!! Can you please tell me what happened yesterday!?”

“Monkey, sit the hell down!” Dan Hen shouted and stopped the Scout player.

“Brother Feng, this is a soldier from my previous T456 navy fleet. You can just call him Monkey.” Dan Hen nodded to Feng Luo.

“Monkey… Hi, nice to meet you.”

However, Feng Luo was uncertain why Monkey was so excited at that moment. What happened yesterday?

“Brother Feng, you sure are amazing. To solo a Tyrant and then a zombie horde. Heh, I feel like I’ve wasted my time playing the game.” Security Door said in respect, but at the same time, he also looked slightly depressed.

Not only him, as the other players, including other Veterans Tribe players whom Feng Luo did not know, were all looking at him eagerly. Clearly, each and every one of them had a lot of questions for him.

Dan Hen explained to Feng Luo what happened.

After they retreated the night before, they noticed that Feng Luo did not follow them after passing through the metallic energy wall, and they waited. However, the energy metallic wall’s outer structure and the surface were incredibly smooth and tall, and they could not get back inside quickly. It was only after two to three minutes since they realized the issue that Dan Hen figured something out and managed to get back on the platform.

They saw Feng Luo standing in the middle of zombie corpses and the pool of blood, surrounded by glowing loot that scattered on the ground. Black Rose and Monkey, who were running towards Feng Luo, also recognized Dan Hen immediately. Naturally resulting in both retreating teams merging together.

Afterwards, they found out from Monkey that the zombie horde, as well as the Tyrant, that died terribly, were all killed single-handedly by Feng Luo using the military knife.

Dan Hen’s shock was more apparent compared to many of the others who did not witness the aftermath of the battle. He seemed to be even more shocked than Monkey, who had actually watched the battle happen.

Monkey had fought alongside Feng Luo before. Whether it was equipment or level, he surpassed Feng Luo. Moreover, he was a top player who was incredibly confident of his own strength.

Although Feng Luo’s display of power during the battle against the Giant Octopus Commander the night before made Dan Hen feel a lot of pressure, it was still within an acceptable range, and he was not too shocked. He knew that if he had equipment of similar grades and levels, he wouldn’t be too far behind Feng Luo.

Although he was Feng Luo’s friend, deep in his heart, he still saw competition between them.

This was the pride of an Expert player.

However, now that Feng Luo solo killed a Tyrant as well as a horde of zombies that included several Elite Grade zombies, he no longer felt competitive, feeling that the strength difference was simply too great.

It wasn’t just the strength difference between Feng Luo and himself, but with all the other top players in War. What Feng Luo achieved was something no one else could do.

As such, Dan Hen’s curiosity was definitely not any less than Monkey. The only thing was that Feng Luo was unconscious all the while, so there was no way he could answer.

…

Everyone was gathered in this place because it was actually within the scope of the storyline that involved Silvermoon City. This is also the reason why Feng Luo’s body did not disappear after he lost consciousness.

Steel Fortress was the one who carried Feng Luo’s body on his back and retreated with the team.

With the addition of around 20 elite Veterans Tribe players from Black Rose’s group, their remaining journey was no longer difficult. Even though there were still scattered zombies outside the city, it was impossible for the zombies to pose a threat to the group.

However, what caught them by surprise was that just before the group could exit the storyline-affected zone, they encountered the Federation army that completely locked down Silvermoon City to prevent the spread of the T-virus.

Everyone from the group was stuck inside temporarily set up tents in the area. They were required to be isolated for 12 hours. Only after that would they be allowed to leave.

Since the male and female NPCs and adventurers were separated, only a bunch of online male players were gathered there.

“12 hours of isolation. It looks like the guild’s initial large-scale counterattack plan on Silvermoon City in the morning is no longer possible. We all know what Silvermoon City will become by the time the isolation time finishes. We would also miss our chance to initiate our counterattack.” Dan Hen’s scarred and yellowish face seemed grim and anxious.

“Plans always fall behind changes.” Feng Luo agreed and nodded. The situation had also affected his original plans.

Since he couldn’t leave for the moment, he explained some of the situations from the night before to the others. He disclosed information about the Force, the level breakthrough, and awakened talents to Dan Hen and the others. With regard to the Life Protozoa and 24K’s mental link stats, he did not disclose any details about them.

Not everyone in the group was close to him, there were many Veterans Tribe players he did not know. Whether it was the Symbiotic stats of the Life Protozoa or 24K’s Mental Attack, these were all Feng Luo’s privacy that concerned his battle strength. So, it was natural that he had to be reserved.

Apart from that, the truth was that Feng Luo wasn’t all that sure what had happened the day before. He could only say that he became the host of something called the Dark Life Protozoa before losing consciousness. Afterwards, he was not very sure about the details of the Force awakening. Feng Luo awakening the Force caused much more stir than before.

After all, just half a month ago, the first Legendary Grade item was sold at a price of 999.999 million credits. After that, topics discussing the ways to activate the attached skills of Legendary Grade equipment became a hot topic as it continued to remain one of the top five topics on the forum. Players also kept posting info that they obtained from NPCs. Now, everyone had a general understanding of the Force.

In terms of the process of obtaining the Force, popular superstar players would post on the forum almost daily, stating that they would work hard to become the first player to awaken the Force, and thus, becoming the strongest player. Their fans would become ecstatic and leave a bunch of comments to encourage their idols.

Right now, it was clear that the words and promises of these stars were all null and void. As that the first player to awaken the Force in War was now standing in front of them.

Additionally, he was a no-name low-profile player called Feng Zhi Luo Ye. The ID had never been heard of before.

“If we post this info on the forum, especially if we include info about the level breakthrough after awakening the Force, it is clearly going to cause a huge stir.”

More than one person who was there felt a fire burning in them. What an amazing opportunity this was, a chance to become famous in the game with one simple move.

The first player to awaken the Force in War, the highest level player in the game. A player who is so powerful that he could solo a Commander Grade monster over Level 40 with just one military knife, apart from another 20 to 30 Elite Grade Zombies.

If they were to post news about this on the forum, the attention that the player would be able to get would most likely put him in the top three, or better yet, to number one.

There was no doubt the information could cause a ruckus in the virtual world. The uproar would definitely not be any weaker than the one caused by Death Roar for being the first one to get a hidden profession.

This sort of fame wouldn’t be regional fame that regional superstar players like the top ten experts of Storm City enjoyed. It would gain the attention from everyone on War.

However, Feng Luo clearly had no intention to release the information. Naturally, he wanted the other players present to not proactively release the information. They could only keep the information hidden in their hearts.

At the same time, they were also looking forward to the time when they would awaken their Force.

Since the first one wanted to be low-profile, the second one should also be able to cause a similarly huge uproar.
