Chapter 683: Lost in the Mountains, Suspicious Buildings! Part 3

The game had established a new reward mechanism to distinguish between the New World and Deep Sea, whereas the rewards would be regulated according to a player’s location.

No reward would be distributed to players outside of the New World regardless of how much the individual had developed.

Meanwhile, rewards would be issued to players within the New World after each disaster.

Additionally, the game also introduced several new settings that were vaguely defined.

The first one was new players would be released into the game to increase competition among the living beings.

New buildings, ruins, maps, and environmental aspects would be released to provide more opportunities to the brave adventurer.

‘Does this include…

‘Could this building be the game’s compensation in the New World to reward players for surviving the disaster?

‘F*ck! How is even possible to directly drop a building from Earth into this place?’

The truth was placed right in front of him no matter how much he questioned the absurdity of the reward mechanism.

Ultimately, Su Mo had to gradually accept the fact that the building was likely from the game.

“Get Feng Long to lead a group and blast open the door from afar.

“Make sure to pay attention to the magnitude of the explosives and not blow up the whole building!”

Su Mo would most likely enter the building and investigate it alone if he were still alone when he discovered the building that suddenly appeared.

However, after observing for a while, he chose the safest options under the current conditions.

Feng Tianming quickly backed away and headed to make arrangements after receiving the order.

After approximately five minutes, FengLong and seven soldiers carefully approached from the pit’s edge.

They traveled for a few dozen meters following the team’s boundary lines and stopped to set up an essential defensive forefront.

The seven members of the squad were very efficient. They performed all sorts of basic setup and binding tasks smoothly because of their extensive training in the territory.

They completed setting up the defensive line after a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, Feng Long had finished preparing the explosive mechanism.

He set up a giant crossbow that aimed directly at the house door and tied the explosive to it. After ensuring everything was perfectly in order, he glanced toward Su Mo.

“We’re good to go!”

Su Mo gestured to him, and after Feng Long received the order, he cautiously made a similar gesture.

The seven team members immediately raised their guns in a defensive formation and aimed them toward the door with the manual safety turned off.

The other soldiers positioned on higher ground behind them also instantly aimed their guns at the door.

The difference between the two squads was the manual safety of those on higher ground was not switched on to prevent accidentally hurting Feng Long’s team that had not retreated in case of an unexpected conflict.

“3…

“2…

“1…

“Fire!”

Feng Long was slightly nervous, knowing that all eyes were on him.

Despite that, his hands were not shaking much because of the weight of the sandbags. He pulled the trigger, and the arrow fired toward the wooden door with precision.

The already unstable self-made explosives immediately began to react upon impact.

A loud explosion sounded in just a few seconds, and the whole door was blown into pieces, scattering all over the ground.

“Stay alert!”

The gunpowder smoke spread out from the explosion, and debris was everywhere from the wooden door. The thick fog that had been trapped inside the building for a long time gushed outside almost instantly and blurred everyone’s vision.

Everyone silently focused on the hole created in the door.

Instantly, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

“Is there really no one inside?”

Feng Tianmin, who was lying low on the ground, let out a sigh of relief after seeing the thick smoke about to dissipate and that there had not been any bizarre creature running out from the building/

However, danger always struck when least expected.

Before he could fully let out his sigh, a black shadow suddenly appeared at the door and charged angrily toward Feng Long’s squad.

Su Mo instantly saw the monster that rushed out with his incredibly strong eyesight.

It was like when he first saw the building. The monster seemed familiar, yet he could not immediately recall it.

‘It’s those dark creatures that had lost their sanity in the ruins of Liangfang Town!’

Unlike the second encounter with the creature that was the terrifying size of a small truck, the one that came out of the building was insignificant and merely the size of a person.

It had scarlet eyes and two fangs protruding from its mouth with hands the size of a human head.

Upon closer observation, the creature could be identified as an infected “giant rat”!

“An enemy is approaching!

“Launch a counterattack! Attack immediately!!!”

The situation was already different from the past. There were a hundred soldiers equipped with guns, and Su Mo no longer had to risk fighting the enemy with a cold weapon all by himself.

As soon as Feng Tianmin’s voice sounded, the seven soldiers in Feng Long’s squad immediately opened fire. The soldiers on the mountain also switched off their guns’ manual safety and began firing at the enemy.

Under such an aggressive attack, let alone a mutant rat with a mortal body, even a reinforced enemy with iron bones would be unable to withstand the massive kinetic energy of the M-1 rifles.

In just an instant, black blood splattered on the surrounding area and filled the air with an unpleasant stench.

The gunfire stopped after one round of ammunition.

After glancing at the position of the giant rat, there was no longer a lively monster but only the remains of the black squirming flesh that had been shot to pieces!
