"Elno?!"
Collins watched, his eyes wide with disbelief, as Elno's body erupted in a spray of blood before his very eyes, transforming into a swollen, pus-filled corpse.
"Who is it? Show yourself!"
THWIP.
The only answer he received was another bullet!
[You have hit Collins Vazquez with a sniper rifle... Instant Death progress 42/30. Reward: Survival Points +3, Marksmanship +1.]
[Collins Vazquez has triggered the death trait - Instant Death. He is now deceased... Special Reward: Survival Points +5, Marksmanship +2, Spirit Level +1, Resilience Level +1.]
"Hngh... hhh... hhh..."
THUD.
Collins crumpled to his knees. Compared to Elno's gruesome state, his own was much less grisly. His body simply began to wither, his hair turned stark white, and he shriveled like a man aged decades in an instant...
"Uh,"
Hector and Chirut exchanged a glance. 'He's... just dead?'
"One of ours?"
"Obviously... It's that kid?"
"Looks like it. Last time we were here, that one..."
