Chapter 105: Chapter 105 – Soloing Turret [2]
The trigger to make Turret appear in the warehouse in Max's V-Shelter server was pretty easy.
The first step, took all the loot inside the warehouse. In the second step, head to the entrance and see the closed door.
And the third step was…
Cling! Cling–! Clang!
Made a commotion.
Tatatatata!
And you would hear a rattling sound of footsteps from afar as well as boxes getting thrown into the air and pushed down from afar. A large cloud of dust kicked up into the air, hiding the hideous appearance of Turret's centipede-like body.
"It's here!"
Max prepared himself and bit the flashlight. Without it, the darkness would blind him and make him unable to do anything.
"I mwight not we abwel to talk. So, let mwe concentrate!"
— "I might not be able to talk. So, let me concentrate!" He said
— I only saw people do this desperate measure of biting the flashlight in this livestream lol
— Go go Breeze go!
— Someone wanna create a mission? This is the perfect time to do it!
— Heh! Leave it to me! I will use yesterday's diamonds to make him suffer more!
— There it is, BloodSucker!
— Kyaaa! We know we can count on you!
[BloodSucker has started a mission.]
[Stream Mission: Don't use a flashlight while fighting Turret!]
[Reward: 5,000 diamonds!]
— This guy is merciless!
— Heh, I will add the reward so Breeze will bite it.
— Me too
— If you are a coward, then just give up the mission!
Just as they said, they added the mission reward. More and more people joined, wishing Max would accept the mission and watch him suffer fighting Turret in the darkness.
While there was still some light from the gap in the rooftop, it wasn't enough to see all Turret's legs.
However, the chat made a mistake reeling him like that. He liked a challenge.
Ptui! Thud!
Max discarded the flashlight to the ground. It rolled around before stopping when it hit the box on the side. Turret's figure in the distance was covered in darkness almost immediately. Only its body lining and silhouette were slightly visible.
"Fine!" He said, grinning wickedly. "I accept your challenge, BloodSucker! Also, thanks in advance for the 12,000 diamonds! This time, I will take that reward for sure!"
With a fearless expression, he began to rush toward Turret even before it arrived at its designated spot. He jumped on top of the box and jumped right in front of the charging Turret.
"Ksaaa!!!"
Turret stopped suddenly and moved its upper body back due to the sudden stopping motion. No matter how smooth and good its AI was, a program was still a program.
"Heh!" Max sneered, "Take this!"
He attacked the Infected's open head and thrust two knives right inside. Nasty green blood gushed out from the wound as he slit its mouth open, making Turret wail in pain.
"Ngaaa!! Ksss! Ksssaaa!"
It rampaged in place, whipping around with its long body as its legs clattered loudly. It must've never expected its prey to suddenly attack. Boxes and containers were pushed back, making a clearing. The ground shook from the sheer weight of its body.
Pulled by gravity, Max's body fell freely to the ground. He twisted his body and rolled on the ground to smoothen his fall.
Looking up, he saw Turret's body trembling as it used its arm connected to the sickle hands to put its mouth together. The clattering sound stopped.
"Sssss!" It kept hissing like a snake as it narrowed its eyes, focusing on Max.
Suddenly, the clattering footsteps rang again. Turret had moved toward him. And its speed was nothing to scoff at!
'It's fast!'
Crash!
Max was taken by surprise. He dodged by jumping to the side at the last moment before Turret crashed its body into the stack of steel containers behind him, knocking them down as if they were made from plastic. The containers that were hit directly had a deep dent in them.
'Not only that, it's also strong. If I get hit by that, maybe I will get flattened out without having a chance to fight.'
The shadow from within the crashing location wriggled up. Turret had stood up once again, and it was angry.
He was able to see his enemy's figure a bit more clearly now. His eyes had gotten used to this darkness. However, his enemy had also calmed down and raised its sickles.
Upon closer observation, a smoke rose from Turret's mouth where the wound was. Slowly, it was closed, and the blood stopped leaking out.
Max was unable to see it clearly, but it was different from the viewers. The camera had a night vision installed.
— Hehe, even for Breeze, soloing Turret with a knife only will be hard!
— He probably didn't even notice that Turret has a regenerative cell from the virus infecting it. Poor Breeze
— Everytime he met Turret, it always ended in one hit or one shot. The reason why it was feared was due to its big body and regenerative ability!
— Poor Breeze. If only he can see, he might realize how to win against Turret with only a knife
— But it's more interesting this way. It's all thanks to BloodSucker whose IQ is too high to make that kind of mission
— Hehe, praise me more. I love to be praised
— Don't get blood into your head, dumb4ss! But thanks!
'Are they stupid? I can still read the chat! Thanks!' Max thought as he noticed what they wrote in the chat. 'But... A regenerative ability, huh? That's troublesome.'
Indeed, he was oblivious to that fact. He thought he could deal with small damage and killed it over time because he didn't have a good vision in this dark warehouse. However, Turret's regenerative ability changed that.
'I can only kill it in one go. The question is… how?'
His weapon was a knife and a boot knife. From his previous attack, he knew that decapitating Turret in one swing was impossible. Its skin and flesh were too thick and strong. Not to mention, he doubted Turret would fall to the same attack again.
'I can only try.'
In just a few seconds after Turret crashed, it managed to get back to its feet and hissed intimidatingly.
"Kssssaaa!"
It was ready to fight once again. The wound from before was fully healed.
"Oh, it's recovering already," Max exclaimed as he looked up at Turret's head, which was 3 meters above the ground.
It actually put it that high, so he couldn't reach it.
"You're one smart centipede, aren't you? Machine learning is so scary." He chuckled fearlessly as he got into a stance. "Come, big bug. I will rip your heart this time."
