Fusion

Although the Sniper Armored Warrior's results were brilliant—the five other armored warriors had been unable to achieve a single kill, yet the Sniper Armored Warrior had instantly killed one Spiked Pincer Insect and critically wounded another.

But only David, who was sensing the state of the Sniper Armored Warrior, understood that at this moment, the Sniper Armored Warrior could not fire a third consecutive shot.

The recoil of such an incredibly powerful sniper rifle was terrifying.

In the Interstellar Federation, although many designers had tried to reduce the recoil, facts proved that for every bit of recoil reduced, even more attack power was lost.

Sniper Armored Warriors would rather endure the powerful recoil than weaken their sniping power by even a fraction.

The existence of a Sniper Armored Warrior was for one-shot kills; a secondary choice was a critical wound, as lightly wounding a Zerg was never an option for a Sniper Armored Warrior.

David felt the Sniper Armored Warrior's body trembling continuously, and it took only three seconds to dissipate most of the force remaining in his body.

This method was a mandatory skill for a Sniper Armored Warrior, allowing them to accelerate their ability to return to battle.

However, three seconds on the battlefield could change many things; one Spiked Pincer Insect released all six of its Venomous Stings, jumping over the Great Shield to attack the five armored warriors simultaneously.

The other Spiked Pincer Insect rammed into the Great Shield, preventing the Defense Armored Warrior from attending to anything else.

In this situation, the five armored warriors had to go all out; they split into two groups and blocked the two Spiked Pincer Insects respectively.

But at this moment, the last uninjured Spiked Pincer Insect had already used this opportunity to bypass the five armored warriors and charge toward the direction of the Sniper Armored Warrior.

Once a Spiked Pincer Insect began its charge, its speed was simply not something an ordinary armored warrior could keep up with, let alone the fact that there was no Scout Armored Warrior among the five, who were known for their speed.

By the time the Sniper Armored Warrior's body was able to resume combat, three seconds had passed, and that Spiked Pincer Insect was less than three hundred meters away from the large rock.

From the T3 Sniper Auxiliary Device, David could clearly see the disgusting fuzz on the Spiked Pincer Insect's body.

At this moment, the Sniper Armored Warrior did not even move; the ultra-long sniper rifle followed the approaching Spiked Pincer Insect, and a large amount of data appeared again, beginning another analysis.

However, this analysis process was more complex, as the Spiked Pincer Insect kept using rocks and the swaying of its body to evade the Sniper Armored Warrior's lock.

The war between the Zerg and the Interstellar Federation had a history of ten thousand years; the Zerg had long been familiar with fighting armored warriors, just as armored warriors were familiar with the Zerg.

Although the intelligence of the Spiked Pincer Insect was not high, its combat instinct told it that this Sniper Armored Warrior had to be killed.

Closer and closer, the Spiked Pincer Insect was only a hundred meters away from the Sniper Armored Warrior; at this distance, the Spiked Pincer Insect only needed a few breaths to reach him.

David felt anxious in his heart, yet he sensed the Sniper Armored Warrior's calm heartbeat, as if such danger was not enough to affect him.

Just when the Spiked Pincer Insect was fifty meters away from the Sniper Armored Warrior, it began to retract its six Venomous Stings, and at this instant, the white spot under its head was revealed.

The Sniper Armored Warrior's finger moved slightly, a massive force fed back into the Exoskeleton Armor and his body, and simultaneously, a Level 1 Bullet flew into the white spot.

The Spiked Pincer Insect's body shook upon receiving this hit; its heart was directly shattered by this strike.

But its tenacious vitality allowed it to continue moving forward, and added with its previous momentum, it reached the fifty-meter distance in an instant.

However, when it arrived right in front of the Sniper Armored Warrior, the last bit of strength in its body vanished, and the corpse of the Spiked Pincer Insect slid a few meters along the ground, stopping in front of the Sniper Armored Warrior's large rock.

The Sniper Armored Warrior did not even look at this Spiked Pincer Insect; his target had already shifted to the two Spiked Pincer Insects in the distant battlefield.

David's brain received another piece of knowledge: when there are comrades in front, as long as they are not dead, one must maintain the deterrent power of the sniper rifle in hand.

Do not think about retreating; the ultra-long sniper rifle was not suitable for use while moving, and the massive recoil could not be eliminated while standing—meaning that as long as the Sniper Armored Warrior stood up, he lost his combat effectiveness.

And to go prone again and recalculate various data all required time; the time wasted would be enough to cause a huge change in the situation on the battlefield.

Of course, in most cases, armored warriors would try their best to protect the Sniper Armored Warrior.

The preciousness of a Sniper Armored Warrior made all armored warriors hope to have one in their squad.

This battle ended quickly, with the result being three Spiked Pincer Insects killed directly by the Sniper Armored Warrior, one critically wounded and then killed by a War Hammer Armored Warrior, and the last one surrounded and killed by the five armored warriors.

The illusion David experienced did not end; the subsequent battle scenes were constantly changing armored warrior squads and different Level 1 Zerg.

In one battle involving thirty armored warriors, they besieged a Level 2 Zerg; it was a massacre, and David felt the helplessness of the Sniper Armored Warrior.

In the end, several Sniper Armored Warriors used Level 2 Bullets simultaneously, and at the cost of several of them being critically wounded, they killed that Level 2 Zerg.

In that battle, all thirty armored warriors died.

The subsequent illusions no longer showed the presence of Zerg; the Sniper Armored Warrior's combat targets changed to various spaceships and different armored warriors, but what remained the same was the Sniper Armored Warrior's formidable long-range combat power.

Although the illusion did not show the other growth experiences of this Sniper Armored Warrior besides the battle scenes, David now understood why Abbott was so twisted.

After an excellent Sniper Armored Warrior had experienced a cruel battle, his psychology was completely destroyed.

He became a mercenary, taking pleasure in killing everywhere; although he was just as calm when picking up a sniper rifle, he was only a true Sniper Armored Warrior when he held that rifle.

David did not know how to evaluate Abbott, who had caused the deaths of nearly a hundred people. After coming out of the illusion, he could not help but open the information about Abbott again.

Perhaps Abbott's previous name was not this; the information lacked Abbott's prior experiences.

Perhaps that period of time was something Abbott did not want to recall, and the same went for the name he had back then.

Closing the data in his hand, David's body trembled slightly; this was the force-dissipation technique of a Sniper Armored Warrior.

Unexpectedly, David completed it very easily. Having mastered Proficient Body Technique and Proficient War Hammer Mastery, he found that mastering combat abilities of the same level was already very easy.

At this moment, he had a great interest in Myron's invitation to the Shooting Range; he thought he would remind Myron when he had time.

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly, the Identity Bracelet on his wrist sent a notification.

He opened it, and it turned out to be a message sent by the program he had implanted in the Steer Hotel's Security Optical Computer.

He set several important reminders in the Security Optical Computer, such as Mr. Steer's daily schedule and events related to Trainer Jeremy.

This time, it was a message sent by Trainer Jeremy to Mr. Steer; it seemed he wanted to keep it confidential, so he specifically sent it via Skynet to the Security Optical Computer at the Steer Hotel.

In fact, this was also the safest method, as the Identity Bracelet had location tracking, and if one's identity were locked by the relevant authorities, all messages on the Identity Bracelet would be intercepted.

Trainer Jeremy used this method precisely to ensure one hundred percent security.

He just never expected that the Security Optical Computer at the Steer Hotel had long since been breached by David, so by sending the message through this channel, Trainer Jeremy was essentially revealing the information to David in plain sight.

The message was simple, consisting of only one line: "All actions against the target are suspended and will not resume for the time being!"

This cryptic message would leave anyone else confused, but upon seeing it, David understood its meaning.

It seemed that due to Gallen's appearance and his intervention in the investigation of Lixin Security Company, the mastermind behind the scenes had become wary; they were afraid that Gallen would uncover more, so they decided to halt their operations against David.

Seeing this message, David couldn't help but feel a sense of relief; he needed time to grow.

The mastermind had been targeting him constantly, and the presence of Mr. Steer in particular made him suspect his stepmother Bertha, leaving him with almost no one he could trust.

Gallen's timely appearance, along with the powerful status and strength he displayed, had struck fear into the mastermind.

Under Gallen's guidance, David was also able to grow even more rapidly.
