Chapter 175: Winding Path along Mountain Ridges
The technology of transports in War was very advanced. For example, energy SUVs were transport vehicles that had many uses. Not only could they be driven in deserts, but they could even move without any problem in water up to a certain depth.
Feng Luo’s “Land Bullet” also had this function. Otherwise, he would never have traveled alone across several hundred kilometers to the supply point in the center of the desert.
However, player vehicles were not usable in all situations. Apart from some maps prohibiting the summoning of vehicles, after this version update, the restraints on vehicle summoning and retrieval became even stricter. Right now, once they entered battle status or if they accumulated the aggro of monsters, they could not summon or retrieve their vehicles.
It was due to this that Feng Luo could not use the energy motorcycle to help him get away from the Desert Rock Lizard Commander’s pursuit and was forced to fight.
Of course, summoned vehicles would not be forced into the vehicle space during battle. As such, in a more dangerous wild map, most players would not use their vehicles, since, if a player died, the vehicle would not automatically return to the space and would remain there instead. Moreover, it could be attacked and destroyed or even “occupied.” Only when the player was revived could he select the “Recall” option.
In the event that the vehicle wasn’t “occupied,” it could be recalled free of charge, but in such a situation, most vehicles would be destroyed by monsters or players who were venting their anger. The repair cost would be quite expensive.

“Yoyo!”
“Look, isn’t that the Sniper who ripped you off?”
Among the six, the first to see Feng Luo was one of the two girls who had mocked Feng Luo the last time. However, it wasn’t the short-haired Scout girl with thick makeup. It was the other Doctor player.
At that time, she was seated on the lap of a tall, well-built young man whose profession was a Heavy Armor Warrior. She was using military binoculars, so even at over 300 meters apart, she could clearly see Feng Luo’s face.
“I see him!” the short-haired girl said as she bit her lip. Her eyes, rimmed with a lot of makeup, widened. She also held binoculars in her hands. Moreover, as a Scout, she saw things more clearly than her friend.
“Tangtang, you’re telling me that the one riding the energy motorcycle is that loser Sniper?” At that time, the attention-seeking Light Armor Warrior wearing a full set of silver Excellent armor took off his helmet and kept touching his hair while staring at the camera of the terminal.
“That’s him!” The energy SUV was not fast in the desert, but as the distance closed and the clearer Feng Luo’s face appeared to the short-haired girl, the stronger she gritted her teeth.
“This idiot, how dare he bully Sister Yoyo!”
“Right, Brother Fei. When you stop the car, I’ll go down and PK him directly.”
“Since we won’t get a red name after a PK now, at most, there will be some criminal points,” the silver-armored showoff said to the Machine Gunner player after he fixed his hair, which was long enough to cover his eyes to the side. Contempt and confidence showed on his face. “As for what kind of equipment he will drop, I definitely don’t give a crap!”
“Huh? This person is actually not running after seeing us! Does he not recognize us? Or perhaps he thinks we won’t do anything to him?” The tall Heavy Armor Warrior grabbed the binoculars from his girlfriend. He was very calm as he looked through the binoculars and spoke about Feng Luo, who was also exceedingly calm. “He probably hasn’t recognized us. After all, we’re all sitting in a car.”
“Monkey, you really wanna fight him one on one?” said his Doctor girlfriend, who shook two buff potions she’d taken out of the silver medical box on the side. “Why don’t I give you two buffs first? Don’t let one Sniper beat you! That would be humiliating!”
“Huh? Guys, look. The corpse of the monster beside him. It sure looks familiar!”
At that time, the Heavy Armor Warrior noticed the three-meter-long, eye-catching corpse of the Desert Rock Lizard Commander that lay on the chaotic battlefield not far from Feng Luo.
“It sure is familiar!”
“It looks like the… Level-38 Desert Rock Lizard Commander!”
At that time, since the distance was now very close, the attention-seeking, silver-armored teenage boy could clearly see the scene around Feng Luo without the binoculars.
“Yeah, it’s the Desert Rock Lizard Commander!”
“We came here once when we were at Level 40. In the end, we encountered a Desert Rock Lizard Commander, and then we were annihilated!”
The girl Doctor player seemed to have also remembered. Her face showed fear at first, then doubt. “That’s not right. Could he… have killed a Desert Rock Lizard Commander alone?”
“How is that possible? Bullshit!”
“How could one Sniper kill a Commander-grade monster?” the attention-seeking showoff said with disdain. “I’m sure someone else killed the monster and left the corpse here, and before it refreshed, this guy came and is probably trying to see if some items were left behind.”
“Just what level is the Desert Rock Lizard Commander? Just think of that Earth Spike attack! Even a Light Armor Warrior would lose half his HP!”
The girl Doctor suddenly sighed and said loudly, “Monkey, hearing you say this reminds me of something!” She could not stop laughing. “Monkey, I remember when last time, your behind was… by the Earth Spike…!”
“We agreed—that incident is off-limits!!” The attention-seeking boy looked as if his Achilles heel had been hit, and he immediately shouted awkwardly. After that, he said to the Machine Gunner driving the car, “Brother Fei, Brother Fei! Hurry up and stop the car. For Sister Yoyo, I want to fight this Sniper one-on-one!”
The people in the car were joyously making a ruckus, not paying much attention to Feng Luo. After all, most of them thought that a Sniper had zero chance of winning against six “Elite Players” who were in energy SUVs.
However, there was one exception!
“Qin Fei, don’t stop the car! We should go directly over. It’s best we don’t mess with this person!”
At that time, the quiet girl who had not spoken at all throughout the exchange and whose equipment was far inferior to the rest—only a Level-40 white Manipulator robe—suddenly made a remark. Although she looked calm, there was a look of shock in her eyes that she could not contain, as if she had seen some sort of weird scene.
“What’s wrong?” The Machine Gunner boy driving the vehicle was not tall, but he seemed more mature than the rest. As he heard this, the energy SUV that was already moving toward Feng Luo suddenly changed direction. He truly trusted the Manipulator girl with the very common equipment.
“I say, Miss Class leader. You don’t speak a word all throughout the journey, and when you speak, you’re commanding Brother Fei now?”
“That won’t do. “As the vehicle changed direction, the silver-armored showoff was clearly unhappy. He complained to the Manipulator girl inside the SUV, “I already said it! I have to go and fight this Sniper one-on-one. Aren’t you preventing me from keeping my word?!”
“Jingjing, don’t tell me you used that…” The short-haired girl who was originally very annoyed was suddenly not mad anymore. Instead, she widened her eyes, rimmed with thick makeup, as she looked at the Manipulator girl.
“Yes!” The Manipulator girl nodded to her, then shook her head.
“F*ck! Count him lucky.” The short-haired girl’s face twisted. In the end, she stomped her feet.
The vehicle changed direction around 100 meters away from Feng Luo and brought the yellow sand away with them.
As for Feng Luo, he was calm from the beginning until the group left and made a bend behind a sandhill that he could no longer see.
Boom!
In a location that was in the original path of the vehicle driving toward him, the seemingly normal desert ground suddenly collapsed inward, creating a giant hole that was large enough to engulf an entire energy SUV. A scorpion-like brown clamp could be vaguely seen inside the hole.
