In the underground base of the sanatorium, looking at the “Biochemical Weapon” that looked similar to the previous Tyrant on the screen, Wesker displayed an interested expression under his shades.

“Have they already used the half-completed potions?” he said. “Then let the real experiment begin!”

On the ground and beneath the storm, Feng Luo observed everything happening inside the defensive construct through the vision of the Scout Beetle nestled on the wall inside. Regrettably, he couldn’t find an angle to attack the Heavy Armor Warrior, so even though he could see him, he could not prevent the Heavy Armor Warrior’s actions.

He and Sha Lang needed to kill the last remaining Umbrella Corporation armed personnel as quickly as possible so that they could save Sister Rui and the others, who were surrounded by the zombie horde. Apart from that, they also needed to protect the NPC vital to the city-building mission, Director Locke. And the people within the shops were completely surrounded by the zombie horde. action

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Through the dark night, shot after shot of double armor-piercing rounds hit the foreheads of the slightly panicked armed personnel of the Umbrella Corporation like guided missiles. To prevent these people from mutating after death like the players from the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group, Feng Luo treated them all the same and tried to deal with them via headshots.

However, after killing yet another armed personnel, leaving only three hours left for the people from the Umbrella Corporation, Feng Luo’s body stopped moving. With a ka-cha sound, he switched to the Eye of the Thunder Gun Magazine loaded with shield-breaking energy bullets with his right hand. Then he raised the gun and aimed it directly at the defensive construct before firing a shot.

Bang!

A bullet with a light blue glow exited the chamber and left a trail in the storm for an instant. In a few tenths of a second, it spun and flew across over 100 meters.

Jiang!

−199

The sound of the bullet hitting something rang out. However, it was clear that it had not hit a human body.

A humanoid figure over three meters tall appeared overtop of the defensive construct. In its hand was a 1.8-meter alloy heavy shield, but it was held as easily as if it were a normal Light Armor Warrior’s single-handed shield.

The moment before the bullet hit, the human figure had put the shield in front of its body. The mighty force of the shield-breaking energy bullet caused another spot on the alloy shield to cave in; however, the damage dealt did not even reach 200!

The Heavy Armor Warrior from the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group shook its head. Its bloodshot, dark crimson eyes glanced coldly toward Feng Luo’s position, and the humanoid creature spoke almost indiscernibly through its mutated mouth, saying, “Terr—ible!”

After that, it jumped into the air. Its large body flew several meters through the storm and landed on the ground. The allow shield in its hand hit the puddle on the ground and created a huge splash.

The scene was quite intimidating! But what was even more intimidating was still to come.

It did not even bother with Feng Luo and Sha Lang’s barrage of attacks. With the heavy alloy shield raised in its hands, it rushed with large steps toward the shop where the guards and the players hid inside.

Boom, boom, boom...

On this rainy night, a huge shadow carrying a heavy shield in its hand stepped heavily onto the flooded ground. Every single step sent the water splashing into the air. And as this humanoid figure endured the sniping of two Snipers, its body continued to accelerate without trying to dodge. It rushed toward the hiding spot of the guards and the rest of the players from the Lu Conglomerate. It resembled the Tyrant from before.

At that moment, the shop the guards and the players from the Lu Conglomerate were in was already surrounded by the zombie horde. However, it was clearly impossible for that to stop the footsteps of the Heavy Armor Warrior who had been injected by the potion and had become an unstoppable Tyrant.

Bong. Bong...

The Heavy Armor Warrior started his Charge—an over 200 percent speed increase. As it ran at full speed, even the pouring rain seemed to be pushed away by his imposing momentum, leaving a trail in the rain behind it.

After a few seconds, as it reached the outer periphery of the zombie horde, the Roaring Dragon Mercenary Group’s Heavy Armor Warrior waved his right hand. The 1.8-meter alloy heavy shield was used as a weapon as his hand extended outward.

Boom!

Seven to eight zombies within the zombie horde surrounding the shop were sent flying after being hit by the shield. The first one hit flew around ten meters through the rain. Its head hit a lamppost on the street, and a cocktail of red and white gooey liquid leaked out.

The Heavy Armor Warrior then looked as if he were entering no man’s land. With his shield raised, he entered the shop against the barrage of bullets fired from within it.

“Damn it!”

Feng Luo knew that his worst fears had come true.

Possessing the high strength and defense that was not inferior to the Tyrant, and maintaining the intelligence of a player, this Heavy Armor Warrior had clearly chosen to ignore Feng Luo and Sha Lang—the two Snipers outside—and instead had entered the shop to kill Sister Rui, Mu Zi, and the others. Moreover, during the Charge just now, the Heavy Armor Warrior’s skill, “Slam,” had displayed amazing attack power. This meant that he was not a Heavy Armor Warrior who walked the conventional “tank” path.

The Heavy Armor Warriors in War mostly focused on close-quarter control and long-range defense. In terms of damage, they were only slightly stronger than Doctors, who focused mainly on healing. However, that did not mean that all Heavy Armor Warriors walked this path.

The characters in War did not have only a single path when it came to their professions. In fact, every basic profession had a series of conventional main skills and another series of nonconventional optional skills. Added to that was an optional third specialization, as well as other general skills. Even if two players had the same profession, it was quite rare for two different people to have all the same skills. This also made it so that the same profession could have different evolution and progressions.

For example, a Scout would have scouting and combat ability at the same time. Although most people would select the scouting path, some would actually choose the combat path, and the combat path was divided based on their weapons, such as the assault rifle type or the close-quarters combat type...

Similarly, the Heavy Armor Warrior also had a complete defense path and an attack and defense hybrid path—two types of skills routes for the profession. The second route of the Heavy Armor Warrior would require the player to learn some attack skills. Although, in this instance, their defense would be slightly weaker than other Heavy Armor Warriors, when it came to attack and output, they would experience a significant increase. This was especially true if the Heavy Armor Warrior player also learned some other powerful Rare-grade attack skills. Then his or her damage might even be comparable to Light Armor Warriors of the same level.

And clearly, this Heavy Armor Warrior had chosen this path!

Feng Luo didn’t have any choice. As he saw the Heavy Armor Warrior rushing into the shop, he put away the M110 and manipulated the Scout Beetle so that it followed the Heavy Armor Warrior inside. As it flew, Feng Luo cast Quick Sneak and ran at full speed toward the shop.
