Chapter 84 - Ranged Combat

 On the ground, George whispered a warning: "Careful, his armor has a missile—it's powerful!"

David had personally experienced the power of that missile, though he had no memory of it. After all, a single shot had been enough for Qin Feng to shatter it.

"His shoulder also has a small-caliber autocannon."

George had died to that weapon last time.

The sound, amplified and noise-filtered by Jarvis, reached Qin Feng clearly. He couldn't help but grumble, "Autocannon, your ass!"

As he spoke, the shoulder armor plates slid open, revealing six barrels. In an instant, they locked onto the four figures and opened fire. Three of the shots were aimed at George, following the standard procedure to block his escape routes.

The four were caught off guard by Qin Feng's sudden attack. But George reacted first, his past experience kicking in.

As three bullets flew toward him, George's pupils constricted. With his red-tier agility talent +40, he swiftly grabbed DeWinter beside him and used him as a shield.

DeWinter had been about to dodge the incoming shots.

*Huh?*

*Who's pulling me back at the last moment to save my life?*

But George didn't just use DeWinter as a shield; he grabbed him by the belt and swung him horizontally through the air.

*P-p-p-p!*

Four shots struck DeWinter simultaneously in vital areas.

"You... you..."

He didn't even manage to utter the third word before his life ended.

George had successfully protected himself and David beside him.

Albert, also a Guardian of Kangaroo Country and possessing a red talent, proved impervious to bullets. Jarvis lacked his combat data, making it impossible to predict his evasive maneuvers.

Dodging the shot, Albert erupted in fury. "Bastard! What have you done, George?!"

David, whom George had casually saved, stood dazed and confused, unsure of what had happened. He only remembered the gunshot and a figure suddenly appearing before him, lying horizontally. Then came the sound of a bullet piercing flesh.

"Huh? This scene looks familiar..." David suddenly realized—this was exactly how he'd died last time!

Now, he felt a chill of fear.

Fortunately, George hadn't used him as a human shield this time. Not only that, but he'd even protected him.

What David didn't know was that if there had been no one else around, he would have been the one taking the bullet!

George roared at Albert, "What are you yelling about? He can revive anyway! Focus on this iron man—kill him! All the good stuff Dragon Kingdom has been hoarding for days must be in his hands!"

In an instant, Albert's pale face flushed with excitement.

*Right!*

This kid was raking in profits, his business thriving. If they killed him, wouldn't all the National War warehouse items be dropped? With those resources, why fear the third wave of the assault? They might even survive the fourth!

"Haha, what the hell? They're already fighting amongst themselves right at the start."

"This is going to be good."

"Dog eat dog? I love it. Eagle Country is so dishonorable, and these guys are still following them? They're just asking for it!"

"Even without Qin Feng's true body here, he could take on eight of them. I hope he kills them all."

Seeing how things had unfolded, Albert decided the immediate threat posed by his opponents was more pressing. Besides, since it wasn't his life on the line, he couldn't be bothered to care.

What he craved most was the Dragon Kingdom's resources!

*Click!*

George cycled the bolt of his rifle, firing as he ran.

*Rat-tat-tat.*

"Move! This iron man's talent isn't that high! Tear his armor apart!"

*Clang! Clang! Clang...*

Sparks flew as bullets struck the armor.

Before long, George ran out of ammo.

Hearing his command, the other two immediately changed their positions.

Mark 3 Armor, hovering mid-air, fired its palm cannons in both directions.

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Massive craters erupted on the ground, sending debris flying.

The palm cannon required one to two seconds to charge and fired a straight energy blast, making it impossible to hit fast-moving targets.

The Mark 3 Armor, hovering in mid-air, was reduced to a whack-a-mole player, frantically swiveling left and right but failing to land a single hit.

"Jarvis, estimate their movement trajectories!" Qin Feng ordered Jarvis near the border of Kimchi Country.

Facing the taunts of the three below, Qin Feng had no choice but to rely on Jarvis's predictions.

Instantly, three circles appeared on the HUD, tracing the predicted paths of George and the others.

"Sir, I recommend dealing with the slower enemy first."

Jarvis highlighted David's trajectory, constantly marking it with a red target—the location Jarvis calculated David would reach in the next instant.

David, the least talented of the group with only a +20 purple attribute, was nearly half as fast as the other two.

Qin Feng aimed at the red target and fired the palm cannon with his right hand.

*Boom!*

The energy blast streaked toward the predicted location, just as David moved to meet it.

George, seeing this, cried out in alarm, "Watch out!"

David was momentarily stunned, then his vision blurred as a deafening explosion erupted before him.

He was sent flying.

George was furious.

The opponent remained suspended in the air, completely out of his reach!

He hurled the Tang Dao in his hand at Qin Feng.

*Whoosh!*

The Mark 3 Armor's back thrusters immediately activated, barely dodging the projectile.

Seeing he'd missed by a hair's breadth, George stomped his foot in frustration.

"If any of you are still alive, get over here and help! Forget that zombie!" he roared.

"Sir, beware of a surprise attack," Jarvis warned.

Qin Feng replied with a wry smile, "Fighting at a distance is indeed troublesome."

Being physically absent and controlling the armor remotely put him at a disadvantage, slowing his reaction time.

Glancing sideways, he saw the four Meichuan Ku, who had been dueling with Park Jeonghwan, approaching to join the fray. If they intervened, the situation would become far less amusing.

By now, the four had figured out Park Jeonghwan's weaknesses. Though incredibly strong, he was essentially a mindless, brute force machine.

Moreover, without Suri's command, Park Jeonghwan would fixate on a single target and relentlessly pursue it.

"Quick, go help!"

Meichuan Ku waved his hand, and Matsushita and Li Jinshuo abandoned Park Jeonghwan, converging on his position.

Kim Minyong was in dire straits, with Park Jeonghwan relentlessly pursuing him.

Armed with nothing, he ran, wailing and crying out for his parents.

"Don't leave me! Don't abandon me!"

"Hah!"

"Hah!!"

Park Jeonghwan's dead fish eyes showed no emotion.

He had locked onto Kim Minyong's scent, his iron arms raised as he chased after the fleeing man.

"Hahaha! This is hilarious! Kimchi dies by Kimchi!"

"What a shame Ninth Uncle isn't here. We could have added two more Kimchi-branded zombies to the collection!"

"Hey, little Kimchi Country girls! Your oppa's blood bag is running away! Make Kim Minyong stop! Feed your oppa, he's starving!"

"Aish! Damn Dragon Kingdom bastards! We don't even fear Park Jeonghwan that monster anymore!"

"Right! We'll get a new oppa, and he'll definitely have a golden talent too!"

"Heh, Kimchi Country girls change their minds faster than they flip their faces."

On the battlefield, Qin Feng raised his hand as three more figures approached.

Missile launch sequence initiated.

*Whoosh...*

A pen-sized missile shot straight at Meichuan Ku and his companions.

Meichuan Ku and the others never imagined that Qin Feng, locked in fierce combat with George, would divert his attention to deal with them.

*Boom!*

The missile detonated between the three men, sending them flying.

A crater remained on the ground.

**Battlefield Notification: Dragon Kingdom Guardian Qin Feng has successfully eliminated Kimchi Country Guardian Li Jinshuo.**

As the smoke cleared, the battlefield notification rang in everyone's ears.
