Chapter 5 The Devastating Cough

While blocking the reef's fierce attack, Cowey was still trying to use the dagger in his hand to fight back. At the same time, he also felt a strong threat, and a faint light was released from the center of his eyebrows, obviously using the limited number of awakenings.

Reef blocked with his left hand. The dagger seemed to be going straight in, but could only draw a few brilliant sparks in the void, making a harsh metallic cutting sound.

Joseph's dimensional lock had failed. The strange dark gold heavy shield, like a newborn sun, had reappeared on Reef’s body.

With the success of this block, Cowey also felt a slight pain on the back of his hand. Then, a strange red blister suddenly protruded, quickly swelling and festering. Finally, a beetle with a strange iridescent luster on its surface crawled out of it, mixed with flesh and blood, and fell to the ground, quickly growing to the size of a fist, and then began to attack him.

Even more strangely, Cowey stabbed hard with a dagger, and a burst of light appeared on the surface of the beetle, and its damage value was only one point! This discovery immediately made Cowey terrified.

"Damn it... what kind of perverted guy did we encounter? So experienced in combat, so powerful in all kinds of abilities, and a summon like this perverted MT, if he grows up, he might really be no weaker than Zeus, ah ah, ah ah ah~~~~~ Achoo!"

Joseph roared as if attacking, but in fact, he had already begun to retreat in his heart. Although he was also a contractor and had helpers, he clearly felt that the two of them were definitely not the opponent of this powerful MT in front of him.

As people who needed close combat, they could be said to be naturally suppressed by MTs. Only those gunners who were good at slowing down and long-range attacks, or a spiritual contractor like Prince who had already stepped into the realm with one foot, could take the lead by relying on distance advantage when facing MTs.

Taking advantage of the fact that Reef began to focus his firepower on attacking Cowey, Joseph's eyes flashed, and he turned around and fled. His relationship with Cowey was just a hire, and there was no need to be so righteous as to have good brothers die on the same day of the same month of the same year...

But as soon as he escaped five or six meters, an indescribable itch burst out in his throat. If it was a sneeze, he could barely hold it back, but a person always had to breathe. Joseph only felt that every time he inhaled, the itching in his throat would be fueled like a fire, as if there was a small knife cutting inside, both painful and itchy.

"Cough cough cough, cough cough cough."

Joseph finally couldn't bear the extremely itchy and violent cough. When he coughed out the first sound, he felt extremely comfortable, but the next feeling was that his lungs seemed to dissolve and shatter. Those rotten dark red fragments stuck to the throat, wishing he could tear them off with his hands. He coughed five or six times in a row, and felt darkness in front of his eyes. In this situation, if he ran away, he would undoubtedly fall to the ground and could only stoop his waist to cough violently.

"No, this is not normal." A terrifying thought flashed in Joseph's mind: "After the datafication of the body, there will be normal physiological reactions, such as coughing when choked by water, and sneezing when there is too much dust, but we will not suffer from any serious diseases at all. Even if there is an exception, the probability of me and Cowey being recruited at the same time is too low! Could it be that this MT... can actually spread diseases?"

"That's not right. Even if I am infected with a disease, why is there no prompt in the battle record? Is it possible that his perception can still suppress us and mislead us?"

When the effect of "severe cough" disappeared, Joseph excitedly discovered that Reef was still attacking violently—to be precise, he was ravaging Cowey—and seemed to be unable to deal with himself. He, who had no fighting spirit, immediately ran away with the thought of "better a dead Daoist than a dead me."

However, a series of hot bullets hit Joseph, causing him to stagger. This sudden attack plunged him into despair.

As a contractor who had been fighting in the space for a long time, the reality he least wanted to face appeared: that MT actually had an ambush in the dark!

In fact, this should have been reasonable, but Joseph just didn't want to think about it before, and didn't dare to think about it, because he was afraid that if he thought too much, he would even lose the courage to fight. It's just that not thinking about something doesn't mean it won't exist...

As the saying goes, even ants are greedy for life. Joseph suddenly relied on his experience and pounced on a car next to him. He had to find a cover first. However, in the process of pouncing, Joseph suddenly had a crazy itching nose again without warning, and his eyes went black. He sneezed, with tears and snot flowing all over his face. Therefore, he was supposed to pounce behind the car, but instead he slammed into the car, forcibly moving the Ford five or six meters, and the alarm screamed repeatedly...

"The brute force is really great..."

The black man sighed boredly beside him, but his hands were not idle at all. How could he let go of such a great opportunity? With a cigar in his mouth, he pulled the trigger of the AK to the bottom. He could hit such a fixed target with 100% accuracy when he was seven or eight years old...

As for Cowey, the reserve contractor in the nearby battlefield, he took the attack speed crit flow, and his attacks were often easily blocked by Reef. The probability of critical hits was also suppressed by the MT's ability, and the damage caused was needless to say. Moreover, the faster the attack speed, the easier it was to trigger the scarab effect on Reef's dark gold shield.

Although the scarab's damage was not high, it was disgusting! And it also had a group healing effect inside.

Cowey also had the idea of running away. After he was hit by Tearing Heart, he immediately used the medicine he bought at a high price to remove abnormal states... Then he turned around and fled. He didn't think an MT could catch up with an agility specialist. But after running ten meters, a sudden crazy cough made him have to stop and gasp. And after he recovered, the terrible MT had already caught up...

The battle ended completely in about ten minutes. Fang Senyan, who was in the reserve team, didn't even make a move. He just stood in the distance with his arms around his chest and watched his virus take effect. If the understanding of Fang Senyan's new ability was insufficient before, then it was not until the actual combat that the three people realized the terrifying power of this ninth-order S-class mutated hidden ability.

For now, although the two diseases that appeared have no way (or say very little) to directly damage the enemy, the weakening of the enemy is completely unexpected.

If in normal circumstances, Reef and the black men faced Joseph and Cowey, both of whom were a combination of contractor + reserve contractor, even if Reef and the black men could win, it would inevitably be a tragic victory. Because they would definitely focus fire on the ranged gunner squishy first, the attack was high, the threat was great, and Mogansha was vaguely restrained by Cowey. Even under the cover of Reef's Tearing Heart, he would definitely be chased by the two to a very embarrassing situation.

But at this time, after adding Fang Senyan's disease ability, these two diseases that could break out at any time were like two damned time bombs, making them not know when they would fall into that hateful abnormal state. Although the abnormal state did not last long, the depressing thing was that it was impossible to defend against, and it would often play a desperate effect at the most critical moment.

Moreover, Fang Senyan had only developed the first and second-order disease abilities! Once the subsequent diseases are developed, what a terrifying thing it will be?

However, when Fang Senyan was feeling hot, he suddenly thought of the scene of being tortured by the disease in the real world, and couldn't help but feel a chill. This was no joke. Fang Senyan could clearly feel that if he rashly challenged the next-order disease, then the probability of dying in the real world was as high as 70%.

"Huh??" As Reef kicked down heavily, Cowey spat out a mouthful of blood and died with his eyes difficult to close. Fang Senyan and the others simultaneously received a prompt:

"You killed a reserve contractor? (Unknown number), rewarded with two points of merit."

"You killed a reserve contractor? (Unknown number), rewarded with four points of merit."

"You are a team participating in the battle, please distribute the merit points yourself."

"The upper limit of killing merit points you can obtain in this world is 10 points. If the upper limit is exceeded, the allocated merit points will be invalid and will not be refunded. Please allocate carefully."

"The killing reward is randomly drawn. The killing reward will be randomly generated from the equipment owned by the contractor you killed, and then randomly distributed to someone in the team."

"The extraction process takes a little longer, start restoring and calculating the data of the killed enemy... Please wait patiently."

The three of them felt very strange about this phenomenon at the same time, because neither Reef nor Mogansha had this experience, and they had only heard that they would get killing points after killing the enemy, but they did not expect that there would be a chance to directly get the relevant merit points. Not to mention killing people without dropping keys, but directly drawing randomly.

After they discussed it, they knew that Fang Senyan now had a ninth-order S-class ability, and the merit points were seriously tight, and that ability was still serving the team, so they allocated four merit points to Fang Senyan, and they each took one point.
