Chapter 18

"Gunsmith? Leave the goods and I'll spare your life." Kicking the gun out of Wang Fusheng's hand, the bandit did not continue his attack but instead stared at Wang Fusheng and said this. When a gunsmith is approached by a mutant, it's like a mage being approached by a warrior. The bandit, full of confidence, didn't believe Wang Fusheng could do anything fancy. Moreover, the inertia of training in the army to disarm without killing made the bandit kick away Wang Fusheng's gun and immediately say these words.

"Even robbing monsters is so righteous, you're really something." Wang Fusheng shook his right wrist, which had been kicked. The bandit's kick was stronger than Wang Fusheng had imagined, making his right hand feel numb. However, from the bandit's flying kick, Wang Fusheng had already sensed that the other party was a soldier. At the same time, the bandit's skin color and eyes indicated that this person was a professional mutant player. So, Wang Fusheng could understand why the bandit was stronger.

"This..." Wang Fusheng's words made the bandit pause. In his rush, the bandit had only one thought: his boss had been stolen. It was only natural for him to act. But now, hearing Wang Fusheng's words, the bandit realized that he might be the one robbing the monster.

It's important to know that the werewolf is not a rare boss and its spawn location is very fixed, refreshing once a day around this ruin. The safe base's mission board also marked the frequent appearance points of the werewolf. So, the werewolf is not a random boss in the wild; whoever sees it first gets it, and those who come later are considered to be robbing the monster.

Therefore, for a fixed boss, especially one with a mission on the safe base's task board, whoever kills it gets the credit. The bandit's team was still on their way, and there was no situation where Wang Fusheng suddenly attacked while they were halfway through. So, Wang Fusheng didn't rob the monster; instead, the bandit's actions seemed more like robbing the monster or coming to loot after seeing the werewolf being killed.

"Whatever, this is a game, not real life. There's no need for so many scruples. No PK, no robbing monsters, is that a game? Remember our mission, kill him, and take the goods." Sensing his teammate's hesitation, the gambler, still in the pickup truck, shouted into the earpiece.

Hearing his captain's words, the bandit realized he was a player in a game, not a soldier on a mission, and there was no need to follow those rules. So, the hesitant bandit no longer hesitated and charged directly at Li Feng, using the army's standard grappling techniques to subdue rather than kill Li Feng. Clearly, although he understood his player identity, some habits from the army were hard to break.

Seeing the bandit use grappling techniques, Wang Fusheng's lips curled into a smile. Originally, because his strength was inferior to the bandit's after his class change, Wang Fusheng should have dodged the bandit's frontal attack. But seeing the bandit use grappling techniques, Wang Fusheng advanced instead of retreating, directly charging into the bandit's arms.

The bandit, who originally wanted to grab Wang Fusheng, naturally brightened at Wang Fusheng's unflinching charge. His hands reached for Wang Fusheng's shoulder blades, clearly intending to dislocate Wang Fusheng's shoulders and render him combat-ineffective.

The bandit's eyes brightened and then narrowed. Wang Fusheng also extended his hands, but while the bandit grabbed Wang Fusheng's shoulders from above, Wang Fusheng pushed towards the bandit's armpits. Seeing Wang Fusheng's attack, the bandit did not change his move.

The bandit knew his attack would hit first. Once he dislocated Wang Fusheng's arms, Wang Fusheng's attack would naturally fall apart, so there was no need for defense.

The bandit's calculation was correct; his attack did hit Wang Fusheng first. But before he could declare victory, a look of shock appeared on his face. As the bandit's hands grabbed Wang Fusheng's shoulder blades, preparing to dislocate his shoulders, Wang Fusheng's shoulders retracted and then pushed back.

This retraction and push looked like a mere twitch of Wang Fusheng's shoulders, but it completely nullified the force the bandit intended to apply to Wang Fusheng's arms. Thus, the bandit's attack did not achieve its intended effect, and Wang Fusheng's hands were now pushing into the bandit's armpits.

Crack! The bandit's shoulders were pushed upward by Wang Fusheng's palms, and as the bandit's shoulders rose, Wang Fusheng's thumbs lightly pressed on the bandit's shoulders. The bandit's shoulder bones, which should have fallen back into place after rising, were instead dislocated by this light press.

The bandit failed to dislocate Wang Fusheng's arms but had his own arms dislocated. This all happened very quickly, ending with just a simultaneous forward movement of their arms.

"Your combat skills are good, but you need more practice." Wang Fusheng seemed to have been prepared for this. As he dislocated the bandit's arms, he placed his hands on the bandit's chin and the top of his head. With a crack, the bandit's neck twisted grotesquely, and his life ended.

Wang Fusheng never showed mercy to his enemies. He understood the profound meaning of the phrase, "Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself." The bandit was only dislocated, not seriously injured, and could reset his shoulders and continue fighting. Letting the bandit go would be irresponsible to himself, and Wang Fusheng never did such foolish things. This was one of the reasons he was still alive.

The bandit's death did not shock Wang Fusheng much. In the chaotic African star domain, he had killed countless heavily armed special forces. Killing a strong mutant did not affect him much.

However, while Wang Fusheng was not affected, the members of the violent squad were stunned. The bandit was their best fighter, and his constitution had improved significantly after his class change, and he had learned mutant skills. Yet, he was taken down in one move, leaving the others in the violent squad in disbelief.

"Bandit."

"Didn't see clearly. The bandit was facing a half-collapsed wall, and I only saw his shoulders rise. Then I lost sight of him. But the other person must be an expert because after the bandit fell, the person disappeared without any obstacles." Bandit, who had a better view through the scope, was somewhat dazed. He saw the bandit's battle more clearly than the others, but this clarity was limited because the bandit was facing away from them.

"Rogue, go and kill him." The gambler, whose body moved with the bumps on the ground, made a quick decision and said to the driver.

"Roger. I'll crush that guy into meat paste."

Screech! The pickup left a long skid mark on the road as Rogue jumped out and released his mech, shouting. Clearly, driving the car to chase Wang Fusheng was impossible, so Rogue had to drive the mech. At this moment, the consumption of all the mech's energy was no longer a concern.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Rogue drove the bulky mech, which moved like a small mountain, advancing quickly. Each step of the bulky mech caused the ground to tremble, showing its weight. However, under Rogue's control, the bulky mech moved like a nimble monkey, dodging the potholes on the road and running forward.

"Mech!" The ground's tremors naturally did not escape Wang Fusheng's ears. After killing the bandit, Wang Fusheng felt a sniper was still aiming at him, so he had to crouch and move through areas with cover. But what Wang Fusheng did not expect was that the enemy would react so quickly, sending a mech warrior.

Although the basic mech was bulky and even seemed cumbersome when running, its steel construction could block ordinary bullets, making it impossible for Wang Fusheng to deal with it bare-handed.

If they were at a distance and Wang Fusheng had a sniper rifle, he could have shot through the mech's cockpit glass and killed the pilot in three shots. But now, Wang Fusheng's only option was to run.

However, compared to the mech, Wang Fusheng's speed was clearly at a disadvantage. Although he used the obstacles in the ruins to move quickly, within three minutes, Rogue's mech brutally crashed through a wall, blocking Wang Fusheng's path.

"Caught up." Rogue and Bandit, who was closely monitoring through the scope, shouted simultaneously. Although there were many obstacles in the ruins, Wang Fusheng could not always stay hidden. Every time he moved through an open area, Bandit could see him but could not lock onto him.

In three minutes, Wang Fusheng's figure appeared seven times in Bandit's scope, but Bandit did not get a chance to shoot. This made Bandit extremely frustrated, but he could report Wang Fusheng's position to Rogue, which was one of the reasons Rogue could catch up so quickly.

"Bandit, seize any opportunity to snipe. Rogue, kill him." The gambler gave the order directly. The pickup was still some distance from Wang Fusheng's position; otherwise, the gambler would have jumped out to help Rogue surround Wang Fusheng.

"Understood, Captain. Just watch." Rogue sneered.

Although the mech looked bulky, it was extremely agile under Rogue's control. Receiving his captain's order, Rogue pushed the control stick, coordinated his foot movements, and stepped on the pedal. The bulky mech leaped up and smashed down towards Wang Fusheng. This was a very brutal combat style, using brute force and the mech's steel shell to crush the opponent.
