The Old Wolf
All B-level bosses are born with a control over radiation fields. At this moment, terrifying black waves of energy surged higher and higher, washing over these bio-modified warriors.
In the past, such high-intensity radiation would have long affected these modified warriors with biological rejection, but now, while it can't be said that it has no effect at all, it at least doesn't hinder their combat.
At this moment, these biological warriors are engaged in team combat.
Biological warriors wielding giant tree scythes stood at the forefront, slashing and cutting through the wildly spreading tree roots with their nearly three-meter-long scythes while engaging in close combat with the human and beast controlled by the 'Tree Demon Granny'.
Behind them are biological warriors clad in 'bone corpse armor'. They are using the unique abilities of the bone radiation corpses to constantly manipulate these 'corpses' in reverse, causing them to turn against their masters on the battlefield.
A group of biological warriors, like Old Ma, had their forearms modified into "gasoline flame whips." The long whips in their hands, like waving flames, lashed continuously against the "Tree Demon Granny's" body, igniting various roots and stems. The B-class monster in pain kept letting out strange screams, like the strange sound of wood rubbing together.
On an armed helicopter, the senior engineer watched this scene with a calm expression.
When he saw these bio-warriors withstand the first wave of radiation attacks, he knew that things were under control.
He slowly raised a strangely shaped 'rifle'.
Compared to a normal rifle, this "rifle" is significantly larger, lacking a stock and barrel, resembling a rectangular mechanical box.
Compared to sniper rifles, it lacks a scope and has an odd shape, so the "gun feel" is definitely poor.
The senior engineer easily lifted it up. Its trigger was twice the size of a regular trigger, but it didn't require much force to pull, and there was no recoil after pulling the trigger.
The next moment, a large "500+" appeared on the system panel.
This is no ordinary firearm; it is a top-of-the-line electromagnetic rifle.
Name: Storm
Category: Electromagnetic Rifle
Quality: Rare
Weight: 14.8kg
Basic Attributes: DPS: 330, Attack Power: 413, Attack Speed: 0.8 attacks/second, Attack Range: 5000 meters
Additional attributes: High Temperature (+35% thermal damage), Penetration (+20% armor penetration chance), Gale (+30% bullet velocity), Magnetic Storm (+30% electromagnetic damage)
Plugin bar: Advanced Charge (charges for three seconds, increasing the power of the next attack by 80%), Advanced Magnetic Field (select to empower bullets, creating a 3x3 electromagnetic field).
Smart Plugin: Technical Adjustment (After the first attack, the electromagnetic storm's aiming system will automatically perform a gun trajectory calibration, greatly improving the hit rate and slightly increasing the headshot rate.)
Sure enough, after firing the first shot, the senior engineer could clearly feel that the gun was more comfortable to hold, and the gun automatically adjusted the muzzle direction.
"High-tech guns are really useful," the senior engineer said, narrowing his eyes before firing again.
The next moment, a large "800" appeared.
As the highest military commander of the four oases, Gao Gong naturally enjoyed the benefits that came with his position, such as the colony armor that had been dissected and studied, the thousands of sets of equipment that were reimbursed and used for kickbacks, and this high-level weapon that was exclusively for generals.
Looking down at the grip, I saw the words "Marubeni Global Safety" in small print.
These military contractors will stop at nothing to get orders; sending guns is nothing compared to some sending cannons. They even offer high-end custom-made android maids with 154 adjustable functions, achieving 100% realism.
Shameless! Utterly shameless!
Why is no one giving me a ride?
Thinking of his maid army from his previous life, the senior engineer sighed nostalgically and casually added his 'Specialization Points' to Precision Shooting.
[You have upgraded Precision Shot from Level 10 (Advanced) to Elite]
Precision Shooting Lv1 (Elite): As a dangerous firearms expert, you not only wield your weapons with ease, but you can even actively capture the inspiration during use. Weapon damage +35%, recoil rate -20%, critical hit rate +40%.
Additional status: Bloody mess
Blood and gore: When using sniper weapons, your "excitement" will be greatly increased, and your headshot success rate will increase by 40%.
Once you reach the "Elite" tier, the experience points needed to improve your skills will be measured in "tens of thousands".
The senior engineer upgraded "Precision Shooting" to level 5 in one go.
[You have upgraded Precision Shot (Elite) to lv1, Perception +1, Weapon Damage +2%, Critical Hit Rate +1%]
[You have upgraded Precision Shot (Elite) to lv2, Perception +1, Weapon Damage +2%, Critical Hit Rate +1%]
Upgrading to level 5 increases weapon damage by a total of 10% and critical hit rate by 5%, which isn't much.
However, in addition to this, 5 points of perception were added.
That's right, some skills will increase attributes when upgraded to 'Elite'.
In addition, there is an additional status, "Man and Gun as One".
Gun and Man as One: A mental state of advanced gunmen when they enter "killing mode". In this state, the critical hit rate is increased by 50%, and the killing intent can be attached to the gun.
It wasn't easy. The "Killing Samurai" has given himself six buffs in total, and his shooting skill finally has a second buff.
Moreover, isn't the state of man and gun becoming one with each other an additional state of advanced gunfighting? It can also be achieved in ordinary shooting.
According to the senior engineer, once they entered a state of "man and gun as one," they would be able to "hit whatever they wanted."
Raise the electromagnetic rifle Storm, aim at 'Grandma Tree Demon', activate 'Advanced Charge', and simultaneously enter a state of oneness with the weapon.
A faint blue light extended forward along the barrel, and when it reached the muzzle, a specially designed cone-shaped bullet flashed by.
The electromagnetic weapon was used silently and without recoil. However, in the "Prosthetic Eye," a tree trunk as thick as a water vat exploded instantly beneath the "Tree Demon Granny's" body, and half of the trunk was torn off and fell heavily to the ground.
[You dealt 2540 damage to the 'Giant Root Monster']
More than two thousand damage would hurt even a B-level beast, but 'Grandma' couldn't care less about the senior engineer anymore.
Because an even more ferocious creature had climbed onto its body, the door-sized biological guillotine seemed to possess a spirit, and every time it collided with the giant tree trunk, the guillotine would fiercely cleave it in two.
Although it can't match the burst damage of an electromagnetic rifle, each slash can still deal five or six hundred damage.
More importantly, this guy's undulating, leaping and bounding posture is very similar to that of the previous version of the senior engineer.
The man looked like a werewolf with a large cleaver hanging from his back.
He alone consumed a third of the "Giant Tree Root Monster's" energy.
The senior engineer remembered it. When he went to the hunter's graveyard to retrieve the "legacy," there was a biological weapon called "Blade Wolf" that was on par with the Reaper. Its owner was the old wolf in front of him.
"We've fought enough; it's time to reap the rewards."
The reason Gao Gong added points was because he almost missed out on getting a kill when fighting the "Vomiting Giant".
As a faction leader, it's reasonable for me to be responsible for the final kill, right?
With his eyes fixed on the constantly decreasing health bar on the system panel, the senior engineer was ready to make his move at any moment.
In the group of radiated beasts, those that can run are no match for those that can fly, and those that can climb are no match for those that can swim.
Simply put, among radiated beasts of the same level, marine species > flying species > terrestrial species.
Fighting this "Giant Tree Root Monster" is much easier than fighting the Rainbow Wyvern. This guy doesn't have any explosive skills, and most importantly, it can't fly.
"That's about it!"
As the black waves surrounding "Grandma" grew larger and larger, many mechanical beasts in the nearby electronics city began to give way and frantically rushed towards the core of the battlefield.
The senior engineer once again raised the electromagnetic rifle, his killing intent combined with the unity of man and gun, and his clarity of mind as still as water.
In a daze, a tentacle emerged from the engineer's eye, connecting to the gun barrel, with the other end connecting to the "Tree Demon Granny's" body.
The next moment, nearly ten electromagnetic bullets were fired without any pause, almost forming a line. Half of them landed critical hits, taking away nearly 10,000 points of the Tree Demon Granny's health, and even taking away this person's life.
[You have killed the Giant Tree Root Monster, gaining 23,000 experience, 500 regional reputation, and one chance to draw a prize.]
Since he wasn't the main attacker, the rewards for killing monsters were significantly reduced, but even so, the senior engineer was still very satisfied.
If this happened to a player, they would definitely fight to the death if they had their kill stolen from them.
But if it were NPCs, they'd be thanking themselves!
Hundreds of meters above the ground, the senior engineer leaped down. In mid-air, four blades spread out, reducing the impact of the fall.
Unlike its previous bare, cleaver-like limbs, the blades are now larger and have an additional layer of fleshy membrane on their surface. Although it cannot fly, gliding is still no problem.
Swinging through the air onto the tree root monster's corpse, the senior engineer chuckled and said, "Well done, guys! Thumbs up!"
Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention.
These biological warriors now only possess the instinct to kill, their consciousness is dulled. If it weren't for the fact that the engineer adjusted their nervous system for receiving commands during the surgery, they would have killed him too.
Or rather, in their eyes, everyone is a target for slaughter.
Strangely enough, these inhuman creatures showed remarkable friendliness towards other bio-modified warriors.
Some people began to actively help the seriously injured biological warriors.
There were only seven or eight people with such serious injuries, and the injuries that would kill an ordinary person were not considered serious for them.
These people, while being biologically modified, also inherited the powerful regenerative abilities of the radiated beasts.
Another group of skeletal modifiers unleashed their abilities.
The next moment, the corpses that had fallen to the ground because of the death of the "root monster" stood up one by one and quickly gathered together.
The number of people suddenly increased nearly tenfold.
The senior engineer looked to the other side, where the werewolf was howling and clutching his head, his expression one of great pain. His body was grotesquely swelling and contracting. It wasn't because it was a full moon, but because he was having too much fun and had been playing for a full ten minutes, far exceeding the five-minute limit given by the senior engineer.
Soon, the "Biological Guillotine" crashed to the ground, and the two-meter-tall werewolf transformed into a pale-faced middle-aged man.
Despite his weakened state, the middle-aged man, Old Wolf, was still beaming with excitement, swearing as he exclaimed:
"That felt fucking good! I've been holding in this pee for over twenty years!!"
