Chapter 406: Forum Madness

“Staff Sergeant Feng, we’re here.” The Apache began to descend, and the NPC driver soldiers reminded Feng Luo.

Looking at the virtual screen in front of him from top to bottom, Feng Luo realized that the below was a small abandoned military base built on the mountainside. There was a ring of infrastructure similar to barracks, a small abandoned airport and also a road leading down the mountain.

When the Apache had descended to a height of about ten meters from the ground, Feng Luo jumped down directly from the open cabin and landed on the dusty square of the abandoned base, while the Apache, which had completed its mission, ascended and left straight away.

“Old Feng, it’s you! You actually have a military helicopter fetching you, why is this exclusive treatment much better than mine?” Not even a few seconds right after Feng Luo had stepped on the ground, a voice sounded out from the direction of the barracks, followed by a Big Pineapple, with a wretched Indian face, drilling his way out.

“If you go get quarantined for 10 hours first, you can enjoy this treatment. Why are you the only one who has reached?” Feng Luo raised his head to look at the surroundings and realized that other than Big Pineapple, the other three agents were not there.

“Yeah, I’m the first to arrive. Last night, I saw on the forum that Silvermoon City is the starting point of the Biohazard Crisis plot. Once I was able to earn points and redeem the Permanent Enhancement Potion, I hurried over here. In the end, when I was halfway through, the army had already closed the road, not allowing anyone to pass through.” The Big Pineapple said, studying Feng Luo while walking over towards him.

“Fortunately, I have this task today, and little girl Haruko seemed to have said something to them. In the end, they treated me as a Staff Sergeant rank and let me here, and then I drove myself here.”

“Staff Sergeant rank?” Feng Luo froze for a bit. Haruko had also made the name of a Staff Sergeant rank for Big Pineapple? Is this just a coincidence or equal treatment?

“By the way, you just said quarantine, what quarantine?” After Big Pineapple had finished his question, he finally remembered there should be something behind what Feng Luo had just said.

“You couldn’t have forgotten which city I belonged to in the game, right?” Feng Luo said to Big Pineapple who had his forehead slightly creased, temporarily halting his attention to the questions he had in his heart.

“Yeah, you belong to Silvermoon City…so, you were at Silvermoon City last night? Then how many Tyrants did you kill last night, and how many points you have earned, are you able to exchange for a Permanent Enforcement Potion already?” Big Pineapple finally remembered that this companion in front of his eyes was the player from Silvermoon City. After which, his eyes actually filled with joy and he blurted out a series of questions.

“Wait…wait…how many have I killed? Could you really be thinking that Tyrants are very easy to deal with?” Feng Luo asked, feeling a little strange looking at a jolly Big Pineapple.

“Not mentioning the others, say a Level 40 non-mutant Tyrant, even a team with slightly weaker equipment would be wiped out upon meeting it, let alone a solo player. As of now, even the top solo players probably would not able to face a Tyrant of Level 35 and above head-on.” Of course, as he was saying this, Feng Luo considered for a moment if he should exclude himself.

“Tyrants are powerful? That’s strange, how come…I’ve just watched a video on the forum taken by a player, it seemed like Tyrants are not that rad at all.” The Big Pineapple said, similarly curious and staring at Feng Luo with doubt on his face.

“A video on the forum?” Feng Luo froze. Under the guidance of Big Pineapple, he switched to the forum and found the video he was talking about.

“<A player in Silvermoon City had slayed a Tyrant! The Tyrant was suspected to have hidden weaknesses, to earn the Permanent Enforcement Potion, a must-read!]” – Popularity: 1.02 billion

The title of this video looked like it was eye-catching, but at first glance, Feng Luo had developed a hunch in his heart.

Once he clicked on it and saw that familiar machine gun platform and the large slow-moving zombie on the ground, he knew that his hunch had come true.

The image in this video had caused some discomfort, it was trembling and shaky and was filmed from a very far distance, with the very low brightness.

It should have been shot from the roof of a tall building at least two or three hundred meters away, then uploaded to the gore-restricted game video section.

In War, there were two ways for players to take videos. One was to shoot making use of the help of the system, such videos require the spending of some credits; they would enable the entire surrounding region of the player to be taken, and even generate something like a regional map. After such videos are posted onto the forum, players can also pay a fee to enter them and replace the game character in the experience. The video of the previous time when Feng Luo had entered “Death Roar’s” Hidden Mission and killed a Level 35 belonged to this kind of video.

The other type was that the system would not provide scenes that supported shooting, in such a scene, players could only shoot by relying on the recording feature on their own terminal.

This type of shooting was just like shooting in reality, as it could only be shot from one’s own perspective, and there would not be anything like damage coefficients and attribute panels appearing on the screen. The Biohazard Crisis plot region belonged to this type.

There was actually a type of scene that was completely restricted to shooting and killing games, underground ruins, things like that.

Regardless which way it was, if the video had other players in it that enabled settings to not be recorded, the system would undergo modification of the player to change the player’s face and equipment.

Feng Luo had made this setting, and so the appearance of the person captured in this video was very different from him, and the equipment on him also had much different from his. Even the most conspicuous Ghost Weep had become a black military knife of another model. He did not have to worry about this video revealing any of his important information.

After Feng Luo had watched the entire video from start to finish, he finally understood more or less what the situation was last night. It is not much different from the process he has guessed.

However, regardless of whether it was the powerful strength-raising effect of the “Ghost Power” skill carried by Ghost Weep, or the rad defense of “Blood Fog Armor” formed from the combination of the Life Protozoa and his Force, they had enlightened him in the power of Force Skills.

Additionally, he was also more or less clear about one thing, another reason why he was able to kill a Tyrant plus another 20 or 30 Elites and Normal zombies, at this time, the Life Protozoa should have not completely become symbiotic. The Level was still at Level 50 Commander, thus he was able to be so triumphant in the battle last night.

For now, the activity should not have dropped too much, as he had just gotten the third Force Skill and had chosen the additional attribute enhancement of Force Awakening.

…

The popularity of this video where nobody knew which Silvermoon City player it was posted by was very high, positioned in the top five on the popularity ranking, and the following replies were also refreshed by up to hundreds of thousands per second.

Since the damage value could not be seen, most of the replies were like Big Pineapple. They felt that since a Tyrant plus a group of half-HP Elite-Grade zombies were actually brutally killed by a player, Tyrants’ strength was indeed worthy of doubt and should be much weaker than typical Commander monsters of the same Level.

Although the Biohazard Crisis plot occurred in 10 border cities, it had affected millions of game players at once.

All in all, millions of players in comparison to the huge population of players in War were of a pathetically small proportion. That was in addition to the fact that not all these city players had encountered Tyrants yesterday, those who had truly seen the Tyrant’s wrath only occupied a small proportion among them.

Therefore, this point of view had actually gained the approval of most players. There were even some comments originating from famous players of traceable forums that had topped the list, really acting serious in analyzing where the Tyrant’s weakness was in their comments.

Their evidence was the military knife in Feng Luo’s hand and his obvious Gunner’s combat suit. A Commander monster which had been manhandled even by a Gunner would not be able to unleash any vicious strength no matter what.

There were also some who had witnessed the Tyrant’s wrath with their own eyes rebutting, even uploading their own videos of their brutality.

Jumping up and down between a few hundred meters of high-rise buildings, effortlessly overturning cars, smashing a fleeing player into a puddle of flesh with its gigantic claw…

These minority rebuttals had attracted the rebuttals of even more people. There were even some players sounding out in mockery, saying that these were just that the abilities of the players of these 10 cities were too weak, having no organization, even having lost their camp cities, et cetera.

When the local regional attack began to more or less take a stand, there was nothing much to continue talking about.

In particular, there was a party among them belonging to those “superior players” who were unable to enter the Biohazard Crisis plot range due to being stopped by the Federal army, and thus were furious and salty at heart from being unable to get the Permanent Enhancement Potion.
