Chapter 283 Battle for the Cowl (25)

Let’s push the timeline a little bit backwards…

When Shiva’s first RPG aimed and fired, Feng Bujue can’t know that Todd would block the attack. At that moment, from the perspective of Jue Ge, this attack will kill him undoubtedly.

Thus, Feng Bujue immediately opened the helmet and connection gate of the armour and took off from it at high speed.

His plan was to hide behind the armour to take the shot. In this way, at the moment when the armour is destroyed and exploded, he can also activate [Shield Card]. With the dual barriers of armour and the skill, the damage to him can be minimized, and the impact of the explosion can be used to fly away from the center of the explosion.

This strategy was good, but he didn’t expect that Todd intercepted the first rocket with a bat dart.

The fire and smoke from the explosion temporarily blocked Shiva’s sight, and Todd’s attention was not on Feng Bujue. Moreover, at night time, the street is brighter than the sky, so no one has found that the interior of the armour is empty, and Feng Bujue is hiding behind the armour.

………

Right now…

The heroes of Network came to disrupt the situation did not delay Shiva too much. Instead, they gave a big gift – Not Afraid. However, her death is not unfair. If she did not meet the heroes who rarely perform killings in DC, but was chased by other forces, she’s likely to be killed directly.

But during this episode, the consist time of [Weightless Contact] was used up. Feng Bujue, who has nowhere to go but could only hold the armour and floated together, re-entered the embrace of the earth and fell down.

Just then Shiva’s third rocket came through the sky.

In the key moment, a crimson figure stepping on the armour, pushing it in the direction of the rocket, and flew out like an arrow.

The booming noise with fire sounded suddenly.

The armour and the freeze gun were destroyed together in the air, burning debris appeared scattered all over the ground. Although the shock wave of the explosion was strong, Feng Bujue was not affected and landed on the top of a building meters away.

Consumption of Body-Spirit Congregation Technique, falling injury, and loss of Survival Value accumulated in previous battles with Todd and Shiva, made Feng Bujue have to drink a bottle of Survival Supplement.

Fortunately, this is the first time he uses a Survival Supplement after entering the scenario. Its effect was not lost at all and recovered Feng Bujue’s Survival Value to 80 percent.

But the scene he jumped out from the armour was seen Shiva’s eyes. Also, the status in the game menu indicates that he is still alive.

Therefore, Shiva’s chase is far from stopping… He quickly put away the RGP, stepped under his foot, and leapt to the height of three floors. Then he used a single arm to grab the water pipe on the exterior wall of the roadside building to climb up to the building. A few seconds later, he reached the roof on the sixth floor.

Ascend to the top, Feng Bujue is still in his sight.

Shiva sneered and said nothing. He ran forward with all his strength, went up and down on the ridge of the city like walking on flat ground. Covered by the firepower of those stone plates, the superheroes who reached the roof were quickly thrown away.

“Where do you want to go? Ah?” Shiva growled in excitement. At this point, he showed unprecedented excitement. In this battle. He tasted a long absence feeling — the joy of fighting.

Shiva’s life as a top player is not short. He has been a professional player for more than ten years. In the world of players, when the strength reaches a certain level, the fun of battle will be reduced accordingly.

First, the opponents he met were often a fixed group of people because the circle of top players is so big. For example, in the hottest years of WAR3, when players reaching the top 16 in a match, they have already played many times with these opponents on various occasions, some are even teammates of the same club.

Secondly, before the duel begins, the master will have an accurate prediction of the result. In professional games, after two players observing and figuring out each other’s races, talents, equipment… They would immediately know who has the advantage in this game. At this time, if the opposite is an old friend, is there still suspense on the result?

An example is the fight between Shiva and Die to Get Mysterious, they fought without passion. Both of them are professional players, and they have played a lot in other neural connection games. They have an objective evaluation of each other’s fighting style and game level. As top-notch players, they naturally cannot depend on luck, coincidence, unforced mistakes and other factors, which can’t happen all the time. The idea like “My character is having critical strike each time, and my opponent accidentally spilled instant noodles on his keyboard” is the only luxury that only casual players can have. If professional players think like that, maybe they should all punch their eggs to kill themselves.

Therefore, after the fight, even Die to Get Mysterious was unwilling, he was mentally prepared for the defeat. What he didn’t expect is… In Thriller Paradise, the gap between him and Shiva will become even bigger.

Shiva did not show much happiness, because winning is due to his strength. Just like in a tennis match, the top seed won the fifth seed in the knockout stage, and he will not be that excited after the match. Shiva’s idea is roughly the same, although the price during the battle was slightly higher than expected, it was also within his tolerance.

However, this unknown player named [Feng Bujue] gave Shiva a long-lost freshness. Because in the fight with this man, he couldn’t guess what would happen next…

“He is so weak, really weak… Low level, his physical quality and equipment are just middle level, his fighting skill is very general, far from professional players. Until now, he only used two skills, one is a continuous skill to strengthen his physical, which is estimated to cost something, so he always opens instantly and then stops; the other is a punch on Todd’s arm, which’s not that powerful… and he also tied a bomb to himself. If he doesn’t have Mr. Freeze’s armour, he would have been dead…” Shiva thought to himself: “But why… why does my instinct tell me… he still has a chance to win. “

After a brief observation and confrontation, Shiva, who is transcendent in combat instinct, has almost seen Feng Bujue through, but this has deepened his doubts: “Even if I fight without considering the bomb, I have seen the slightest victory coming… But my advantage is obvious. If I am in his position, I may not be able to fight to this point…” He thought, “Hmm, I seem to understand a bit, maybe King of Shadow is killed by him.”

Whoosh–

Suddenly, a white light came from the front to his face directly. Shiva responded quickly. His head flickered and didn’t reduce his speed.

“Oh? That’s not the same one…” He touched his left cheek. A trace of frost was left on the skin rubbed by the light beam.

Feng Bujue certainly had another freeze gun, this is another one put in his bag before. The volume of this gun is close to a pistol with a cartoon outlook.

[Name: Freeze Gun (low power)]

[Type: Weapon]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Attack: None]

[Attribute: Ice]

[Special Effects: Freeze target]

[Conditions: Shooting Specialization E]

[Whether can be brought out of the scenario: No]

[Remarks: When firing, only basketball-big objects can be frozen. During continuous output, the frozen effect will be diffused around the hit point as the center. Its energy will need to be recharged after the energy is exhausted.]

Weapons, equipment and consumables from Mr. Freeze are impossible to bring out the scenario. Feng Bujue also tried a few things when he met Two Face, but whether it was weapons, medicaments, or clothing, they could not be taken out. Before he left, he also asked Two Face: “Can you give me the coin as a souvenir?” As a result, Two Face did not throw the coin but decided to fire at him directly.

In short, Feng Bujue speculates that in this scenario, items obtained from or related to any of the main characters can’t be brought back to the login space.

It’s reasonable, a Batman Suit in the mall will sell for two million game coins. If everything in this scenario can be taken out casually, then players will not fight anymore, they could just go rob the Batcave together and just log off.

“Don’t be too aggressive! I’m having the real bomb!” Seeing that Shiva was getting closer, Feng Bujue was also anxious. He’s already in the state of Body-Spirit Congregation Technique. If he still can’t get away, there’s no chance to win.

“Do you think I care about this now?” Shiva laughed.

“Never mind…” Feng Bujue felt helpless and started to untie the bomb while running.

Fortunately, he wasn’t wearing a bomber vest (the clothing couldn’t be taken off), the bomb was mainly carried by the belt, and it was quick to untie it. The detonator was placed in the bag and was not taken out. At this moment, Feng Bujue had stuffed the bomb into his bag.

“Huh… It seems that you are the one who’s afraid of dying together…” Shiva’s eyes narrowed: “If it’s a normal player entered this scenario and saw me, Die to Get Mysterious and Seven Kill, he would be thinking there’s barely hope to win.” He paused: “But you… haven’t considered ‘losing’ from the beginning… you don’t “fear” our so-called big men. You understand that you are the weakest, but ideally, you always put yourself on a par with us… trying to win.”

The distance between them has been shortened to about 15 meters while Shiva was talking.

“Despise the enemy strategically but treat the enemy properly tactically.” Feng Bujue said, launched two more shots.

Due to the short distance, Shiva’s response space and time have decreased accordingly, the two shots successfully slowed him back about five meters.

“Huh… futile procrastination. How long can your continuous skill last? Five minutes? Ten minutes?” Shiva said, “I have a lot more Stamina Value than you thought…”

Feng Bujue glanced at his menu. It really won’t last long. He has been running for more than two minutes, and his Survival Value was consumed at a rate of 2% every five seconds. Now it had fallen below 30%, it will even drop to single digits in one minute. By then, there will be danger of tripping to the ground then die.

“Ha! Don’t be silly…” Feng Bujue yelled loudly: “I can run the marathon in this state! Hahaha!” He laughed like a lunatic: “Believe or not, I can run the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race with my own legs! 1600 kilometres is just the distance from my bedroom to my toilet!”
