Forbidden Zone of the Human Race

Chapter 400: Artemis Mk. 3

Hoho! To think that he could still dodge it! The cult member snickered as Lord Vulture stared at him. Since he was so focused on sniping, he hadnt realized that his master was looking at him. He felt a slap on the back of his head and was about to shout before he heard Lord Vultures voice.

Are you an idiot? Even though I told you to kill him, dont just blindly aim! Shoot his arm and leg so that hes crippled! Let him be eaten by the beasts! Lord Vulture shouted like a maniac.

The cult member could only nod his head and direct his anger toward Gu Kun.

Two more shots were fired. Gu Kun was sweating bullets. He saw his feet were already bleeding from a wound. He raised his head and menacingly stared at the building. He might be experienced with a lot of battle experience, but it was still very hard for him to dodge bullets. He might be able to dodge once or twice, but any more than that would be difficult.

He twisted his body and slashed at another beast charging toward him. Suddenly he heard two gunshots. Another two bullets flew at him, this time aimed at his weapon and wrist.

Gu Kuns weapon was shot from his hands and landed three meters away near a beast. He gritted his teeth and charged into the beast. He tried to kick it away, but it was no use! The beast pounced on him.

He could only roll on the ground. He managed to retrieve his sword and slashed at the beasts neck; blood shot out and covered his face. He looked at the building again, and this time he saw white smoke.

The cult member finally felt relief after he made those shots. He saw Gu Kun staring at him through the scope and chuckled. Wow, look at this fucker. To think that he would dare stare at me so fiercely. But lets see how many more times you can dodge my bullets! Say goodbye!

Boom!

A single gunshot rang out. The bullet found its target as blood and brain matter exploded. It was disgusting, but Gu Kun was still alive.

Shitty bastard! Do you think were fucking tortoises?! How dare you toy with us? Yu Qian has positioned herself near a window. She was the one that had shot the cult member. She was using an extraordinary weapon.

Xiang Ning saw the gun and felt that it looked familiar. Lu Shiyu had an Artemis Mk. 1 sniper rifle, which was capable of killing a tier three beast or injuring a tier four beast. But Yu Qians weapon was slightly different. She had taken it out from her dimensional ring and the case had the number 3 painted on it.

An Artemis Mk. 3 sniper rifle. A single shot was capable of killing a tier five beast or severely injuring a tier six beast. Xiang Ning even saw a single special bullet within the ammo box. It was a bullet capable of killing a tier six beast or injuring a tier seven Beast King!

It was an expensive weapon. A single Artemis Mk. 1 sniper rifle was already valued at ten million dollars, with each bullet costing around at least tens of thousands. An Artemis Mk. 3 sniper wasnt something one could buy with money, even if they were rich. Even then, they might not have enough money to fire it. The Artemis Mk. 3 sniper rifle cost at least ninety million dollars. A single bullet was also valued at around seven hundred thousand dollars. The silencer for the weapon cost around five hundred thousand dollars, too!

Due to its incredible firepower, the silencers for them were manufactured in such a way that they didnt reduce the strength and precision of the bullet in exchange for being a single-use item. An Artemis Mk. 1 and Mk. 2s silencer would be rendered useless in a single shot.

As for the silencer for a Mk. 3, it was capable of withstanding at most two shots.

Xiang Ning guessed that the weapon wasnt sponsored by the Federation, as that would be impossible. Looking at her dimensional ring, he was certain that it was the case. The Federation would at most sponsor some of her bullets.

......

In the dark corner of an alley, a man said, Tsk, tsk, to think that a weapon used against beasts is now being used against a human. Looks like their cover was blown.

Lan Quan, the radar indicates that at least a thousand beasts are heading our way. Should we leave?

Lets go. Well get out of the city first and wait for them. Lets see what the results of this clash are later. Lan Quan smiled. He was bored of the peaceful times ever since he landed on Earth. There was finally some entertainment for him; how could he miss it?

What if they dont escape the city?

Lan Quan did not reply.

......

Back in the building, Vulture saw the cult members head being blown off. He stood there for two seconds, seething. Who knew what kind of expression he had underneath his mask? He kicked the other cult member that was hiding in a corner. How dare this other bastard hide? He had hidden five meters away from the wall, as if he was afraid the bullet would penetrate through it.

Lord Vulture took the sniper rifle and walked to the window. Without aiming, he shot multiple times. Instead of Xiang Ning and the rest, he aimed the gun at the beasts further awayhe was trying to get their attention!

Motherfucker! Yu Qian aimed at Vulture and squeezed the trigger. A single bullet shot out and almost blew his head off.

Lord Vulture felt a sting on his face as the bullet ripped through half of his face, the strong force from it ripping his mask. Blood sprayed everywhere as his skin was torn. If it werent for him twisting his head at the last moment, he might have died, too.

Lord Vulture!

The other cult members were shocked to see that part of their masters face had been hit. The heat from the bullet had seared his flesh and his teeth were exposed from the missing cheek. He was missing half of his mask.

It hurts! Lord Vulture slowly held out his hand and gently touched his face. It felt like he was being electrocuted when he did so, and he shrieked in pain.
