BXBX NOVEL Chapter 275: Fall Out
Chapter 275: Fall Out
“After half a month, the prey in a state of suspended animation is still alive, and its larvae that have just hatched will have something fresh to eat!”
“If you use an anesthesia gun to deal with this mutated mud bee, there is a high probability that it will be ineffective. You must use a net gun. In order to ensure the hit rate, you must get close to 20 meters.”
Bowell showed an embarrassed look and said,
“Captain, I don’t know how to use a net gun, why don’t you do it?”
Fang Linyan sneered,
“Burwell, am I the captain or are you the captain. Do you want to disobey my command?”
“Besides, it’s my idea to go out all night to catch mutated creatures, and it’s my idea to choose this place. You didn’t waste any effort, just follow along! When it is your time to contribute, you become hesitant. How can there be such a good thing?”
“I count to three. If you don’t go, I’ll go by myself, but don’t expect me to give you the credit.”
After listening to Fang Linyan’s words, Burwell regained his dull expression. After nodding his head, he picked up the net gun. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said,
“Is there anything I should pay attention to?”
Fang Linyan said,
“According to records, mud wasp is very focused when eating, so you first make sure to approach from the downwind, then crawl forward. This is not difficult, you just need courage.”
Burwell continued to take 2 steps forward, then he sighed deeply. His voice suddenly became low,
“When did you find out?”
Fang Linyan smiled and said,
“Oh, finally stopped pretending? Now it seems that low profile and high profile have their own advantage. The position of the team captain is also somewhat useful. If I let you go east, you can’t go west.”
“Although you have a way to escape [Reconnaissance] and disguise as a plot character, my purpose of bringing the plot characters here is to let them be cannon fodder. Whether you are a contractor or a plot character, your identity is actually the same. You will expose once I send you as cannon fodder.”
Burwell said coldly,
“You are too sinister. Fortunately, I checked the monster’s information before coming, otherwise I would really fall into your plan.”
Fang Linyan smiled,
“Oh, is this golden green mud wasp very powerful?”
Bowell turned around and said word by word with a gloomy face,
“You’re still lying! It’s not a golden green mud wasp at all but a killer bee! The kind that can kill a person with toxins when it’s not mutated!”
Fang Linyan said lightly,
“Oh, listening to you, then I have more reason to go. You go, I’ll cheer for you here.”
Burwell took a deep breath,
“So, you must turn against me and refuse to cooperate?”
Fang Linyan said,
“If you answered me readily when I asked about your identity, then I think we can still cooperate once. However, you were pretending like I’m a dumbass, so why should I cooperate with you?”
After Fang Linyan said this, Burwell was speechless. He could only sneer after a few seconds,
“Oh, why does it sound like you are sure of getting me?”
Facing his question, Fang Linyan did not answer, but he pointed to the side and said,
“Let’s go?”
Burwell was stunned,
“Where?”
Fang Linyan said seriously,
“Of course to resolve the conflict between us. You too don’t want to make too much noise to startle this mutated creature away right?”
Burwell said coldly,
“Okay.”
They directly came to a deep ravine more than a hundred meters away.
Suddenly, Burwell pulled out a shotgun, aimed it at Fang Linyan from a dozen meters away and pulled the trigger.
Fang Linyan pounced toward him instantly, and he threw something behind Burwell. It seemed like he wanted to tank a shot and fist fight with the 2 meters tall Burwell.
Unexpectedly, Fang Linyan found that Burwell’s shotgun only made a “click” sound after pulling the trigger. There was no spark on the muzzle, which seemed to be a bullet jam.
Fang Linyan was startled for a moment, then he sneered.
In an instant, Fang Linyan figured out what was going on: Burwell is really confident! This isn’t a malfunction in the gun, but he purposely made an empty shot.
The purpose was very simple, to let Fang Linyan take the lead in getting that bloody value.
In Burwell’s eyes, this Bloody Value was equivalent to increasing the drop rate of Fang Linyan’s most valuable equipment/skills/props by 10%!
Of course, the price was also obvious, that was losing the initiative and taking damage from Fang Linyan first.
Before the fight started, Burwell had already thought of opening the treasure chest, which showed that he was very far-sighted.
It was like a pretty girl with a perfect figure saw a handsome young man, then she fell in love in one sight. 10 seconds later, she began to fantasize about which university should she and the young man’s son go to.
This was like discard a stone to gain sente in Go board game; great foresight in battle tactic…
However, the premise of getting these compliments was: he could win in the end!
If he loses, it would be called careless, headstrong, pretending too much until he becomes a dumbass…
If the strength of the 2 sides was equal, then letting Fang Linyan take the initiative would decide the outcome of this battle. A 5:5 situation might turn into 6:4.
In Go, if Black plays first, he would lose 3 3/4 pieces at the end.
This was the power of the first move.
In other word, Burwell felt that he had at least an 80% chance of winning against Fang Linyan, so he dared to play like this!
“Hehe.” Fang Linyan sneered in his heart.
This time I didn’t pretend, but the enemy in front of him still regards me as a prey.
Perhaps my identity as a contestant is too attractive.
So… Burwell should be a contractor, and he has successfully changed class.
***
After going through all the thoughts in his mind, Fang Linyan had decided to make good use of this opportunity that Burwell deliberately gave up.
When his punch was about to hit Burwell, he suddenly stumbled under his feet and missed the hit.
If Burwell wanted to counterattack at this time, it would be a great opportunity.
Just now, this big guy wanted to bait Fang Linyan to get some Bloody Value first, so he wouldn’t give up halfway. He gently dodged to the back.
Fang Linyan immediately caught up and sneered,
“You want to trick me into getting more Bloody Value first? How naive! How can such a clumsy trick work on me?”
Burwell was triggered that his intention was seen through. He snorted and made a decision. ‘Click’, the shotgun was loaded.
The worst thing to do was to be hesitant. Since he couldn’t bait the enemy, then he would just take the initiative to shoot.
Just when he was about to raise his gun to aim, Burwell suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because he remembered very clearly that when the enemy pounced toward him in the battle, he seemed to throw something behind him.
Burwell’s kinetic vision was excellent. He even found that that thing was similar to a grenade shining with a metallic luster, so he activated an accessory that could absorb the damage of long-range explosions in advance, but nothing happened after 3 seconds. Why is that grenade not exploding yet?
Could it be that he didn’t throw out a grenade at all? It was an anti-infantry mine such as “Bouncing Betty” or “Claymore”.
Just when Burwell was wondering, he already felt a great sense of threat from the rear. He immediately took a breath and clenched his right hand. With a “click“, the ring on his ring finger was activated.
This ring was purchased by Burwell at a cost of 6,000 common points. Although it was a consumable item, it could form a temporary shield around the user and absorb 800 points of long-range physical damage. It could last for 10 seconds. The only shortcoming was that it cost 800 common points to activate once.
However, when Burwell looked back, he saw a steel fist with a long tail of flames from the rear charged toward him directly. This punch was totally out of his expectation. Therefore, he was hit right in the face!!
At this moment, Burwell lost his vision. His face was numb. He seemed to have completely lost consciousness.
Not only that, his body was also staggering back involuntarily.
A series of data popped up on Fang Linyan’s retinas.
“Determining… Your summon: elite mechanical warrant officer performed [Steel Impact] and successfully hit the vital part of the enemy’s head.”
“You actively attack the contractor.”
“You get a little Bloody Value.”
“Your summon caused 19+22=41 theoretical damage to the enemy.”
“Your summon hits a crit (hitting the head), which will cause 82 damage to the enemy.”
“Deducting the damage reduction between contracts, it will cause 41 damage to the enemy.”
“After deducting the enemy’s own defense, your summon deals 34 actual damage to the enemy, and you have stunned him for 1 second.”
