Chapter 52 – The Power of the Berserk Shotgun

T800 turned its head and looked at him expressionlessly, saying, “Where is she?”

The man replied, “Go straight out from here for three intersections, then turn left for 200 meters. There’s a casting factory there. If nothing goes wrong, they should be hiding in that place.”

After obtaining the desired information, T800 stepped on the gas, and the pickup truck sped off.

Shortly after, the three player vehicles also started up, following T800 at a certain distance.

On the roof of a relatively tall workshop in the casting factory.

Xiao Wuwang was the first to spot the pickup truck driven by T800 through the scope of his QBU-191 Armor-Piercing Precision Rifle (Modified Type II), but he did not act rashly.

It was not yet time to alert the enemy.

After waiting a while, he indeed spotted three vehicles belonging to human players.

The reason he was so certain they were human players was that the occupants of these three vehicles were all of Asian descent.

This was extremely unusual in Los Angeles, making it almost certain that they were players.

Xiao Wuwang kept his aim fixed on the person in the driver’s seat of the lead vehicle.

And just then—

“Boom!”

“Boom, boom…”

When T800’s pickup truck crashed through the iron gate of the casting factory, it detonated the grenades Xiao Wuwang and the others had planted there, igniting several barrels of gasoline and acetylene tanks placed nearby, causing a terrifying chain of explosions.

At the same time, as the grenades exploded, Xiao Wuwang pulled the trigger.

The sound of the explosions masked the noise of Xiao Wuwang’s gunshot.

The bullet from the QBU-191 Armor-Piercing Precision Rifle (Modified Type II) shot out like lightning.

“Bang!”

The bullet pierced through the car window with pinpoint accuracy, leaving a bloody hole in the man’s forehead!

Even though the man’s Constitution attribute exceeded 30 points, he still couldn’t withstand a bullet fired from a rifle with armor-piercing characteristics. Upon hitting the target’s Weak Point, the bullet instantly activated the Weak Point Trait, causing the damage to surge dramatically.

Just like that, the man died instantly without even a chance to react!

And the moment the man died, a Supply Crate burst forth from that spot.

The right to pick up this Supply Crate belonged to the slayer.

The contents of the Supply Crate would be partially filled with Infinite Coins, items, and equipment drawn from the deceased’s train or Portable Space.

In the Confrontation Platform, any Supply Crate dropped from slaying players of the opposing Camp could bring surprises.

This was also the reason Du Yuming chose the Human Camp.

Unfortunately, the first Supply Crate fell into Xiao Wuwang’s hands.

However, only this first one allowed Xiao Wuwang to achieve a surprise kill.

Now that the others were prepared and the distance was so great, even with Xiao Wuwang’s marksmanship, it would be difficult to secure another one-hit kill.

Xiao Wuwang put away his rifle and turned to Du Yuming, saying, “Leave the metal hunk below to me. As for those human players, they’re your responsibility. You’d better act fast. Once I deal with T800, there might not be anything left for you!”

Du Yuming replied, “Don’t worry, I’ll give these guys a proper welcome!”

As he spoke, he glanced at the Level 2 pistol in his hand and couldn’t help but take another look at the rifle in Xiao Wuwang’s hands, his eyes filled with unconcealed envy and desire.

Xiao Wuwang smiled and asked, “What? Want it?”

Du Yuming said, “Don’t even mention it. I’m absolutely dying for it. Are you selling?”

Xiao Wuwang replied, “I could sell it to you. Let’s talk about it after the mission is over!”

Du Yuming said, “Alright! As long as you’re willing to sell, I won’t let you suffer a loss!”

Xiao Wuwang nodded, “Mm-hmm, mission first!”

With that, Xiao Wuwang leaped down from the rooftop and entered the factory building.

At this moment, the T-800 had already emerged from the raging flames.

The terrifying explosion and intense heat from earlier had completely burned away its surface biomimetic skin, revealing the dark, hard metal skeleton beneath.

Its crimson electronic eyes appeared particularly eerie, scanning the surroundings through the flames and smoke.

Soon, it detected Sarah Connor’s figure inside the factory building and immediately sprang into action.

But just as the T-800 tried to take a step, it found its feet sinking unevenly.

A self-scan revealed that during the explosion, a metal fragment had jammed into the skeleton of its left leg.

It raised both hands, forcibly yanked the metal fragment out of its left leg skeleton, and then pressed the slightly deformed metal bone back into place.

Once its mobility was restored, it strode forward in pursuit of Sarah Connor.

Xiao Wuwang approached Kyle and said, “You take Sarah and fall back. Leave this to me!”

Xiao Wuwang took out the M870 Berserk Shotgun (Modified Type III), loaded not with its original Grade 3 ammunition but with the Grade 1 rounds he had produced.

He was worried that the Grade 3 M870 Berserk Shotgun (Modified Type III) paired with its original Grade 3 ammunition might blow the T-800 apart in a single shot!

The wreckage of a destroyed T-800 would be utterly worthless.

Without the protection of its biomimetic skin, the T-800, now just a metal skeleton, still faced some limitations in movement, but it remained unwavering in its pursuit of Sarah Connor.

Xiao Wuwang blocked the only stairway leading to Sarah Connor.

As the T-800 approached within a 50-meter range, Xiao Wuwang raised the M870 Berserk Shotgun (Modified Type III), aimed at the T-800’s legs, and pulled the trigger.

“Boom!”

The deafening roar was no less than that of a cannon firing.

Countless pellets poured toward the T-800 like a dense rainstorm.

“Ding! Ding!…”

“Boom! Boom!…”

Each pellet that hit instantly triggered a series of explosions, inflicting secondary explosive damage on the target.

Under the impact of the shotgun pellets, sparks flew from the T-800’s metal skeleton.

Under normal circumstances, shotgun pellets would hardly cause any damage to the T-800’s metal skeleton.

But who could have expected they were fired from a Grade 3 shotgun with Power +2 and Explosive +1?

Some pellets penetrated deep into the skeleton and triggered secondary explosions, causing some of the T-800’s internal metal components to deform from the blasts.

As a result, its mobility was significantly hindered, and its steps began to falter.

“Creak, creak…” Every movement was accompanied by the grating sound of metal scraping against metal.

The T-800’s crimson electronic eyes scanned its injured legs. When it determined that repairs were impossible without tools, it abandoned the attempt and continued hobbling toward the stairs.

This outcome was exactly as Xiao Wuwang had anticipated—the T-800’s chip was fixated solely on its target!

And this suited his plans perfectly.

His goal was to restrict the T-800’s movement while preserving its overall integrity as much as possible.

He ejected the spent shell and raised the shotgun again.

“Boom!”

The T-800’s movements slowed even further!

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

After two more shots, the T-800’s legs finally could no longer support its weight, its knees crashing heavily onto the ground with a loud “Bang.”

Though its legs were disabled, the T-800’s mechanical arms still strained against the floor, dragging itself toward the stairwell. It had not forgotten its mission to continue pursuing Sarah Connor.

This time, Xiao Wuwang aimed the gun at the T-800’s arms.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

Three consecutive shots finally twisted and deformed its right arm, severely damaging the joints. The mechanical fingers hung limp, no longer capable of effective movement.

He reloaded the gun.

As expected, after three more shots, the T-800’s left arm was also disabled.

At this point, the only part of the T-800 that could still move was its neck, rendering it almost completely immobile.

Xiao Wuwang did not rush to proceed with the next step. Instead, he listened carefully.
