When You Become an NPC That Might Die Any Moment in the Novice Village

As he had expected, the player hadn't even reached the mechanical dog before a barrage of bullets struck his legs, causing him to lose balance and fall to the ground.

However, this was not the end. Just as the mechanical dog rushed towards him, he suddenly pulled the pin on a grenade hidden beneath him.

Holy Light be with you!

Boom!

The blinding light and explosive noise swallowed both the player and the nearby mechanical dogs.

This set the stage for other players who, following his example, charged the nearest mechanical dogs.

"For Fufu!"

"For the glory of the Silent Court!"

"Ahahaha, here comes the soup!"

The mechanical dogs numbered over a hundred, while there were over four hundred players, making it undoubtedly a saturation attack.

When Qi Yuan realized something was amiss, the first batch of players that had charged were already blown up together with the mechanical dogs.

Boom, boom!

The explosions were incessant, igniting the battlefield and everyone's hearts on the battlefield.

Everyone went mad together.

Those NPCs who didn't know of the players' existence suffered a shock like never before, almost causing their brains to crash; even those NPCs aware of the players' resurrection ability were agape—exchanging lives for mechanical dogs? Was this a method to deal with Mechanics?

"My mechanical dogs!"

Qi Yuan's heart was bleeding.

Each explosion, like a hammer blow, struck directly at his pride and defenses.

He was willing to sacrifice these precious mechanical dogs for the sake of killing Bai Fu, but if Bai Fu wasn't dead yet and all his mechanical dogs were gone, then what was the point? That was his biggest reliance!

Madmen fear those madder than they, ruthless people fear those more ruthless than they.

For the first time, Qi Yuan felt fear towards those players whom he considered as disposable as cats and dogs by the roadside.

These madmen were terrifying, so what about the person who could control these madmen?

Qi Yuan reassessed Bai Fu.

Bai Fu's only response to him was, "Charge with me!"

The fresh explosion of players and mechanical dogs split the battlefield in two. The people from the Alliance Army couldn't cross over for a while; no one was competing for kills now, making it the perfect time to take down Qi Yuan.

Kill!

Upon receiving the order from Bai Fu, the seasoned players with high levels initiated the charge.

Qi Yuan quickly summoned the Mechanical Bee Swarm surrounding him, and, under its cover, he raised the arms of his Power Armor.

Open fire?

Bai Fu immediately smashed a "Space Disarray" card onto Qi Yuan's face.

Qi Yuan's level and attributes were high, so the Space Disarray wouldn't control him for long, but a few seconds were enough for Bai Fu and the players to do much.

With Spiritual Ability Perception enabled, Bai Fu essentially had a 360-degree field of view—mechanical bees, mechanical dogs, attempting a sneak attack was a dream!

She drew her Electric Knife and charged forward while Patrick and others beside her pulled out their Artillery Launchers.

Honestly, penetrating Qi Yuan's Power Armor with these was challenging—the frontal armor value was 1000, arms were 500, and even the vulnerable joints were well-protected.

But Bai Fu hadn't expected to wipe out Qi Yuan with grenade baptisms from the start; she aimed for suppression, using grenades to demolish the weapons and sensors attached to the Power Armor, making it impossible for Qi Yuan to mount an effective counterattack, turning the Power Armor into a metallic turtle shell, until Qi Yuan would emerge himself.

Losing his sense of direction panicked Qi Yuan slightly as he hastily called other members of the Truth Society for help.

But before those members could respond, Patrick turned around and shot them twice.

Are you sure you want to help?

Help my ass.

Seeing the adverse situation, those Truth Society members took off.

They were already at a disadvantage; now with Pedro dead and Qi Yuan entangled, the players continued to stage their explosive acts, and they had no intention of staying.

That's right.

Bai Fu circled behind and slashed at the leg joints of the Power Armor, cutting off over 20 points of armor value—but she wasn't worried at all.

Qi Yuan was strong, but his mechanical skills weren't exceptional in this era; shock bombs, subsonic weapons had great killing power against players, but for her, they were somewhat lacking.

After all, Qi Yuan wouldn't dare to drop high-yield weapons beneath himself; otherwise, Bai Fu might not be dead before he was.

"If this keeps up, I'll die here."

Sweating profusely, Qi Yuan could only gamble.

He had installed an intelligent module in the Power Armor; even without him inside, the Power Armor could autonomously fight to some extent.

Just as Bai Fu once again cut off over 20 points of armor on Qi Yuan's Power Armor's leg, Qi Yuan suddenly slammed a red button inside.

Emergency eject!

With the blast of air, the back armor of the Power Armor shot out like a cannonball, knocking Bai Fu back several meters.

"-37"

Bai Fu's blood volume dropped slightly, not significantly affected.

Seeing Bai Fu blown away, Qi Yuan was overjoyed. He quickly ran in the opposite direction; if the Power Armor could delay even for half a minute, he could escape in his car.

But to his horror, just a few steps into his run, his body became completely immobilized.

What's going on?

What fell behind him was a used Combat Etiquette Card.
