Starting as a Mechanical Hunter

Chapter 126: Chapter 113: Old Wolf

All B-level bosses are born with a mastery of Radiation Fields, and at this moment, terrifying black waves crest one after another, washing over these Biological Transformated Warriors.

In the past, the high-intensity radiation would have quickly affected these Transformers with Biological Rejection, but now, while not entirely unaffected, it at least does not hinder their combat.

At this moment, these Biological Warriors are engaging in team combat.

The Biological Warrior holding the Big Tree Scythe stands at the front line, wielding the nearly three-meter-long scythe to slash horizontally and vertically, cutting down the crazily spreading tree roots around while engaging in close combat with the beasts controlled by the ’Tree Demon Granny’.

Behind them are the Biological Warriors clad in ’White Bone Corpse Armor’. They leverage the unique abilities of the Bone Radiation Corpse to counter-control these ’corpses’, causing them to turn against their master on the battlefield.

A group similar to Old Ma, with forearms transformed into ’Petrol Flame Whips’, wields long whips like flames lashing continuously at the ’Tree Demon Granny’s body, setting various roots and stems on fire, causing the B-level beast to emit strange screams, akin to weird noises from wooden planks rubbing together.

From an armed helicopter, Gao Gong observes the scene with a calm expression.

When he saw these Biological Warriors withstand the first wave of Radiation Field attacks, he knew it was stable.

He slowly lifted a ’rifle’ with a very peculiar appearance.

Compared to a normal rifle, this ’rifle’ is noticeably larger, without a stock and barrel, resembling a rectangular mechanical box.

And compared to a sniper rifle, it lacks a scope, its peculiar gun shape likely offering a poor ’gun feel experience’.

Gao Gong easily raised it; its trigger is twice as large as usual, yet it doesn’t take much effort to pull, and after pulling the trigger, there’s no recoil.

The next moment, a big ’500+’ emerged on the system panel.

This was no ordinary firearm but a top-tier 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), Piercing (+20% armor penetration chance), Gale (+30% bullet speed), Magnetic Storm (+30% electromagnetic damage)

Plugin Slot: Advanced Charging (charges for three seconds, with the power of the next attack +80%), Advanced Magnetic Field (selects to empower bullets, creating a 3*3 electromagnetic domain)

Intelligent Plugin: Technique Calibration (after the first attack, the electromagnetic storm aiming system will automatically perform gun path calibration, greatly increasing hit rate and slightly increasing headshot rate)

Sure enough, after the first shot, Gao Gong could clearly feel the gun holding more comfortably, and the gun body began to automatically adjust the muzzle direction.

’High-tech guns are certainly handy,’ Gao Gong squinted his eyes and fired again.

The next moment, a big ’800’ emerged.

As the highest-ranking military officer of the Four Oases, Gao Gong naturally enjoyed the privileges brought by his position, such as the Reproductive Armor which had been sliced and studied, the thousands of sets of equipment reimbursed through kickbacks, and this advanced weapon exclusive to General-level Generals.

Looking down at the ’handle’, he indeed saw the small print ’Marubeni Global Security’.

These military contractors use every conceivable means to get orders; giving guns is nothing—some even offer cannons, advanced custom bionic maidens with 154 adjustment functions achieving 100% realism.

Shameless, so shameless!

Why doesn’t anyone send me one?

Thinking of the maid corps of his previous life, Gao Gong sighed nostalgically and casually spent ’Specialization Points’ on Precise Shooting.

[You upgraded Precise Shooting lv10 (Advanced) to Elite]

Precise Shooting lv1 (Elite): As a dangerous firearms expert, not only is your weapon use skilful, but you can also actively capture inspiration while using them, Gun damage +35%, Recoil -20%, Critical Strike Rate +40%

Additional State: Blood and Flesh Blurred

Blood and Flesh Blurred: When using sniper weapons, your ’excitement’ will greatly increase, headshot success rate +40%

To reach ’Elite’ level, the experience value required for skill leveling is measured in ’thousands’.

Gao Gong upgraded ’Precise Shooting’ to lv5 in one go.

[You upgraded Precise Shooting (Elite) to lv1, Perception +1, Gun damage +2%, Critical Strike Rate +1%]

[You upgraded Precise Shooting (Elite) to lv2, Perception +1, Gun damage +2%, Critical Strike Rate +1%]

...

After advancing to lv5, it increased gun damage by a total of 10% and critical strike rate by 5%, which isn’t much.

Nevertheless, it added 5 points of Perception.

That’s right, some skills do add attributes once they reach ’Elite’.

In addition, there was a new Additional State, ’Human-Gun Unity’.

Human-Gun Unity: A mental state of advanced marksmen entering ’Killing Mode’. In this state, Critical Strike Rate +50%, and the killing intent can also be infused with the gun.

It’s not easy; the ’Slaughter Warrior’ has added six states overall for itself, and now the shooting skill finally has its second state.

Moreover, Human-Gun Unity, isn’t this the Additional State for Advanced Gun Combat Skill? Does ordinary shooting have it too?

In Gao Gong’s memory, once you enter ’Human-Gun Unity’, it results in a situation of ’hitting whatever you aim at’.

He raised the Electromagnetic Rifle Storm, aimed at the ’Tree Demon Granny’, triggered ’Advanced Charging’, and entered Human-Gun Unity at the same time.

A faint blue light extended forward along the gun barrel, and a special cone-shaped bullet flashed and disappeared at the muzzle.

The electromagnetic weapon went off silently, without any recoil, and in the sight of the ’Prosthetic Eye’, the body of the ’Tree Demon Granny’ revealed below, exploded instantly, with a tree stem as thick as a water tank being torn off and crashing heavily to the ground.

[You dealt 2540 points of damage to the ’Giant Tree Root Monster’]

Two thousand damage points would hurt even a B-level beast, but ’Granny’ can’t afford to care about Gao Gong anymore.

A fiercer creature has already climbed onto her back, with a door-sized Biological Guillotine that seems almost sentient, chopping down aggressively wherever it hits the massive tree stems, slicing them apart.

Although it couldn’t match the burst of the electromagnetic rifle, each chop still inflicted five to six hundred points of damage.

More importantly, its agile, bounding and leaping posture was exactly like the previous version of Gao Gong.

This werewolf with a large machete on its back is the Old Wolf from the Old Hunters.

By himself, he distracted one-third of the ’Giant Tree Root Monster’s’ attention.

Gao Gong remembered him from when he went to the Hunter’s Graveyard to take ’heritage,’ where he saw a biological weapon on par with a Reaper — the ’Blade Wolf’. Its master was the Old Wolf standing before him.

’It’s about time to start heads-collecting.’

Gao Gong had allocated points just because, when fighting the ’Vomiting Giant’ earlier, he nearly missed the final hit.

As an Alliance Leader, it stands to reason for me to be responsible for the final kill, doesn’t it?

Staring at the decreasing blood volume on the System Panel, Gao Gong was ready to make his move at any moment.

In the group of Radiation Beasts, those who run can’t compare with those who fly, and climbers can’t compare with swimmers.

Simply put, within the same level of Radiation Beasts, Marine Species are stronger than Flying Species, which are stronger than Land Species.

Fighting this ’Giant Tree Root Monster’ was undoubtedly easier for him than fighting the Seven-Colored Winged Dragon. This creature didn’t have any explosive skills and, most importantly, it couldn’t fly.

”Almost there!”

Seeing the black tide on ’Granny’ growing larger, many Mechanical Beasts from the nearby Electronic City began to struggle and uncontrollably dashed toward the battlefield core.

Once more, Gao Gong raised the electromagnetic rifle, with a killing intent + Human-Gun Unity + Bright Mirror Stilled Water.

In a trance, a tentacle seemed to pierce out from Gao Gong’s eye, connecting with the rifle body and the other end affixed to the ’Tree Demon Granny’.

The next moment, nearly ten electromagnetic bullets fired without any pause, forming a line, half of them inflicted critical strikes, removing nearly ten thousand points of the Tree Demon Granny’s blood volume, ultimately claiming her life.

[You have killed the Giant Tree Root Monster, experience +23000, regional reputation +500, and received a lottery opportunity]

Because he was not the main attacker, the monster kill reward was greatly reduced, but even so, Gao Gong was quite satisfied.

If it were a player and their kill was stolen by me, they would surely try to get back at me.

But with NPCs, they’re actually quite thankful to me!

From a height of over a hundred meters, Gao Gong took a leap; while airborne, four blade wings spread out, reducing the fall’s impact.

Unlike previous bare blade limbs like large machetes, the current blade wings have grown bigger, now covered with a layer of flesh membrane. Although not for flying, they allow for gliding.

Swinging from the helicopter to the corpse of the Tree Root Monster, stepping on ’Granny’s’ head, Gao Gong chuckled, ”Well done, guys, kudos to you.”

Unluckily, nobody responded to him.

These Biological Warriors now had only the instinct for slaughter, with dulled consciousness. If Gao Gong hadn’t adjusted their neural system during surgery to accept commands, they would even have tried to kill him.

Or rather, in their eyes, everyone was a target for slaughter.

Strangely though, towards other Biological Transformated Warriors, these inhuman beings displayed significant friendliness.

Some started actively assisting heavily injured companions.

There weren’t many significant injuries, only seven or eight. For them, injuries that could be fatal to ordinary people were not too serious.

These people inherited the strong regenerative abilities of Radiation Beasts while being biologically transformed.

Another group of Bone Transformers began deploying their abilities.

The next moment, the ’corpses’ that had collapsed due to the ’Tree Root Monster’s’ death, stood up one by one, quickly gathering together.

The number of them surged tenfold in no time.

Gao Gong glanced at the other side, where the werewolf was clutching his head, crying out painfully, his body grotesquely swelling and contracting; not because it was a full moon, but because he was having too much fun — he had fought for ten minutes, far exceeding the five-minute limit Gao Gong had given.

Soon after, the ’Biological Guillotine’ fell to the ground, and the two-meter-tall werewolf transformed into a pale, pot-bellied middle-aged man.

Despite looking weak, the middle-aged Old Wolf was still utterly thrilled, cursing:

”Damn, that was awesome, I’ve been holding this piss for over twenty years!!”
