Chapter 255: Hunter Corps

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“The six-hour rest period is up!” The black-uniformed officer’s dissatisfied cold smile appeared on the translucent projection screen.

“At the moment, 241 participants are alive. It’s very surprising that fewer than a hundred were eliminated in those six hours!” the black-uniformed officer said with a grim tone, clearly annoyed.

“It looks like you haven’t realized the importance of obtaining points in your current situation. Or perhaps it’s because you’ve passed the first round of the selection, and you have blind faith that you will be able to survive until the last day. Since we have so many people left, the difficulty of tonight’s mission will also increase. What I want to know is, just how many people can avoid being eliminated tonight!” After the black-uniformed officer finished talking about it with a cold sneer, the scene changed.

The scene that appeared next was the internal cabin of a common transport vessel. A group of big and burly soldiers wearing all-black combat uniforms and shades appeared on the screen in front of everyone. They were standing and their faces were expressionless.

“The mission tonight is actually quite simple. You must survive until daybreak tomorrow under the pursuit of the Hunter Corps!” The black-uniformed officer’s cold laugh sounded through the screen.

“Survive, and you will pass. And for those who fail… Is there a need to say anything?!”

“Hunter Corps? This means that we are the prey, right? These people wearing shades, do they have any special skills? Or perhaps they are incredibly powerful?” Big Pineapple was unsure.

However, Feng Luo, who stood beside him, did not reply. Instead, he frowned and stared at the unmoving black-uniformed soldiers on the screen.

“Before you say anything, I did discover something unique.” Big Pineapple did not look at Feng Luo so had not noticed Feng Luo’s odd behavior and reaction. Instead, his face showed that something had attracted his interest.

“Old Feng. Look at the faces of these people. Don’t you think they look like they are from the same model? Even their height is similar!” Big Pineapple said, amused.

He was correct. The soldiers from the Hunter Corps really did greatly resemble each other. More precisely, they were pretty much completely the same. There was no difference in the shape of their face or their hairstyle. Even their ears, mouths and noses were identical. This was the reason for Feng Luo’s frown. He felt that the odd situation was somewhat off. At the same time, he also felt a sense of familiarity with the faces of the “soldiers” of the Hunter Corps.

After a brief moment of silence, Big Pineapple suddenly exclaimed, “Ah, I understand now!”

“You understand now?” Feng Luo turned around to look at him.

Did Big Pineapple really figure it out first this time?

“These people are probably similar to the rebel army, and they are cloned by Ichiro Yamamoto using biotechnology on human cells. That’s why they are pretty much identical!” Big Pineapple said confidently.

“No!” Feng Luo shook his head. “Even if it were cloning technology, it’s difficult for them to make all of them look exactly the same. Unless the lot of them went through plastic surgery after they were developed. But of course, there’s no need for that. Moreover, did you not notice that it has already been over ten seconds. These people are just standing there. Their bodies and faces haven’t even moved a tiny bit. This eliteness that they exhibit, it’s impossible even for the special forces of the Federation.”

“True! None of them actually moved their faces or bodies at all. It makes one think that they are just like robots,” Big Pineapple mumbled as he touched his chin, somewhat confused.

Upon hearing that, Feng Luo turned around to look at Big Pineapple. “Hmm? What did you say?”

“I said that none of them actually moved their faces or bodies at all.” Big Pineapple repeated his words.

However, Feng Luo didn’t really need him to repeat it since Big Pineapple’s words had suggested something to him, and he had now figured it out.

“Robots… That’s what they are! The Hunter Corps isn’t made up of living human beings. They are a batch of robots. They are probably covered by synthetic silicon skin, that’s why they look very similar to humans.”

At the same time, Feng Luo also found the source of the sense of familiarity. The faces and bodies of the soldiers of the Hunter Corps were actually 50 to 60% similar to the main character of a movie he remembered on Earth. It was a movie about combat robots.

The movie was called…”Terminator!”

The shaded look, face, and muscular body of the soldiers of the Hunter Corps were quite similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger; the only difference was that they looked much crueler.

No way… Not that long ago, the story of ‘Resident Evil’ just began, and now something connected to the ‘Terminator’ actually appeared! If this continues, the entire landscape of the game world might really ‘change’ just like what Old Wu said, and a large-scale war might really happen in the next version!

Feng Luo felt a migraine coming on.

Getting ‘recruited’ to become a special agent of the Federation… Does this mean that I’ve joined and have become completely embedded into the Federation camp? I wonder if there’s a chance to switch sides… Mu Wu had already guessed that the next version of the game would include a large-scale war. Now that I think about it, since the ‘Terminators’ has also arrived, this might really be a possibility. Moreover, ‘Terminator’… War and Earth, there really are a lot of connections there.

Feng Luo seemed a little out of it but quickly snapped back into reality. The problem that he needed to think about right now was the arrival of the Hunter Corps.

The combat strength of the Terminator is clear to see, and if the members of the Hunter Corps are all the Terminator, then that’s going to be very problematic! Especially when we don’t even know the weakness of these b*stards as well as the location of their control chip.

Feng Luo tried to remember the chip and energy source location from the Terminator movie, but he couldn’t find it because he only skimmed through it without paying attention.

Looks like I can only try it later. I just hope that the models of the Hunter Corps aren’t too advanced!

The scene on the screen had returned to the cold and fierce-looking face of the black- uniformed officer.

“Attention. Everyone will have information on the position of the Hunters on the map. Of course, they will also obtain information on your location, whether you open the map or not! If you are confident, you could perhaps try to kill the Hunters because each kill will earn you 300 kill points as well as a mysterious reward,” the black-uniformed officer said. As he spoke, his tone was filled with mockery.

“This guy’s expression… Are these ‘Hunters’ really that powerful? They can’t be at the Commander Grade, can they?” Big Pineapple asked.

“Probably not Commander grade, but they should be at the Elite grade. Regardless, they won’t be easy opponents!” Feng Luo said.

If it were a Commander grade mechanical monster, then it was a given that 99% of the players would have no way to resist them. Even their chance of escape would be less than 10%. In that case, the elimination rate would be too high. The game needed to last three days, and they would probably eliminate between ten to 20 on that one night, so it wasn’t very likely.

“It’s now 06.05. At 07.00, the Hunters Corps will officially land on the island!” the black-uniformed officer said.

“Initially, we prepared 15 hunters from the Hunters Corps. However, due to the sheer number of survivors, I’ve decided to increase the number of hunters to 24. Furthermore, the top 24 ranked people will be the main targets of the hunters. Everyone enjoy the game tonight!” the officer said with a savage laugh. After that, he disappeared from the projected screen.
