On the tournament big screen.
The scene was replayed. Liu Zilang was seen to have fired several preemptive shots with his AKM before he swapped back to the jet-black M24 that was slung on his back!
Time was scarce and he could not reattach the 8x scope onto his M24. Hence, he had to aim with the red dot sight he had removed from his AKM earlier.
Pcht!
The gentle, persistent sound of gunfire.
What happened next was similar to what the spectators in the live audience and the stream had witnessed earlier…
Nobody had expected his sudden swapping of weapons to result in a headshot by a red dot sight on Drainys who was at the puzzle buildings.
What kind of operation had it been?
Why did Drainys, who had been playing cautiously earlier, suddenly poke his head out? It was as if he had voluntarily stuck it into a guillotine!
So many questions were left unanswered. Most of the people in the audience looked clueless.
…
Shen Zeyan had told Liu Zilang long ago that one could understand a player’s playstyle from how they handled a sniper.
Hence, with his talent, he managed to thoroughly understand his opponent who was dueling with him.
That player was always there to take advantage of the situation. He would thumb his nose at any situation that did not benefit him!
Thus, Liu Zilang quickly found a solution.
If he were to continue dueling Drainys with snipers, there was no way he would be able to kill him in one shot, even if it were a headshot.
That was less than ideal for him.
As a solution, he chipped away his opponent’s health with his AKM. Not only did that reduce his health to a manageable level, but it also lowered his guard.
His opponent might have thought that the slight loss in health did not cause too much pain.
However, when the pain had become unbearable, his head was already on the guillotine and the blade had fallen on his neck!
On the commentary platform, the three commentators looked like they had finally understood something.
“A battle of wits! That was truly a battle of wits!”
“Who would’ve expected Drainys to not lose in gun skills but tactics? Hahaha.”
“Heheh, I think Vic managed to perfectly combine gun skills and tactics into one lethal package.”
“Oh? Wait, someone’s going over to the southern side of the grassy knoll. Why would anyone go over there by now?”
“Oh! It’s Guru Qiu! Wait a second… that’s a pathetic set of equipment. What has he been doing all this while in the match?”
The caster cut the camera to that person as the commentary platform exclaimed in surprise. That person was riding a buggy that had an exploded tire. It was limping its way uphill.
He had an Uzi and a shotgun slung on his back. He was also equipped with a level one backpack and a level one military vest.
As for his head…
He was still wearing a handsome-looking hat.
It was too f*cking pathetic!
There was no other reason for such a display.
Earlier, Li Muqiu, Shen Zeyan, and another player from Ghost happened to bump into each other at Dragon Inn.
Just as Li Muqiu touched down on the ground, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Shen Zeyan’s kill notification.
A battle of wits and courage unfurled between them. Li Muqiu had planned several times to rush over to the residential buildings toward the north with his shotgun to bring down Shen Zeyan.
However, he was suppressed every time he peeked his head out.
Without smoke grenades, he could not expose himself from behind the low wall, let alone cross the street.
Shen Zeyan was suppressing him from the second-floor window of a building in the north and was not planning on going anywhere.
They were stuck in a standoff until Li Muqiu heard the rumble of an airplane.
Gritting his teeth, Li Muqiu decided that it would be wise to waste any more time with Shen Zeyan.
His opponent might have had all the equipment they needed.
As for him, he only had an Uzi and a shotgun. He did not even have a helmet.
Grabbing the opportunity, he quickly hopped onto a buggy and escaped. It was worth a shot hunting down the airdrop.
As he climbed the hill, Shen Zeyan tap-fired at him. Fortunately, he was not hit. However, one of the buggy’s wheels…
Li Muqiu felt a mixture of sadness and anger rise in his heart!
‘Hmph!
‘Every dog will have his day!
‘Don’t bully me because I’m poor!
‘I’ll show you the big fella once I loot the airdrop crate!’
However, Li Muqiu only knew the rough direction of the airplane’s flight path. He did not know the exact position of the crate.
Thus, he went on searching for the crate around the grassy knoll.
He had heard the gunfire and decided to cross the knoll.
At last, he spotted the red-and-blue crate resting halfway up the knoll.
The crate had stopped spewing red smoke. No one else was around it, and it was a desolate scene.
Li Muqiu felt disappointed!
However, the thought of something else consoled him. If someone had already looted the crate, it meant that they would have left behind something that he needed. This was, of course, true unless that person was as pathetic as him.
‘Be positive!’ he told himself as he rode the buggy toward the crate while holding back his tears.
Of course, he was not a reckless boor.
He parked his buggy near a tree as he neared the crate.
Peeking from behind the tree, all he saw was a motionless crate.
He pondered about the situation for a while and then pulled out his only grenade.
Ching!
Pull the pin!
Cook the grenade!
Whoosh!
Li Muqiu threw the grenade with all his might from behind the tree. It traced an arc in the air and flew downward.
The spectators were held in suspense as they watched the abrupt scene.
From God’s perspective, they could clearly see Liu Zilang hiding behind the crate.
Indeed, Liu Zilang had not moved earlier.
More precisely, he was planning to leave for the puzzle buildings when he heard the noise of Li Muqiu’s buggy. Hence, he remained behind the airdrop crate.
What Liu Zilang had not expected was…
He had hidden himself so well, and yet the opponent threw a grenade toward him!
‘What kind of b*stard is he?’
Liu Zilang lifted his head to look at the grenade’s trajectory. His experience allowed him to make a decision in a flash.
The result of the grenade was that he would either die or not die. Well, that was not very accurate.
More precisely, he would either die or survive with low health.
So what was his decision: to run or not to run?
He hesitated for a while.
The next moment, a loud boom was heard!
Dirt and grass flew everywhere, they were accompanied by a flash of fire and thick smoke.
Barf!
Liu Zilang, who was hiding behind the airdrop crate, spewed a mouthful of blood.
His health level dropped drastically, but he survived with a sliver of health left.
The grenade had made the decision for him.
Meanwhile, Li Muqiu saw that everything was normal after he had lobbed the grenade.
Thinking that there was no one around, he was relieved. Hence, he rode on his buggy and moved downhill.
Liu Zilang did not have the time to heal himself. He discerned Li Muqiu’s location from the sound of his buggy and then stealthily moved around the crate to hide from him.
Screech!
The three-wheeled buggy braked!
Li Muqiu saw a Kar98K lying next to the airdrop crate after hopping off his buggy. He felt the warm embrace of happiness…
‘I’m not destined to die yet!’
