Satan's death was unexpected, but reasonable at the same time.
Meeting Vic was a life-long mistake.
That was not something that could be said casually.
Since he had met Liu Zilang, he had to be prepared to be killed as well.
Even the death of a world-class sniper god like Satan did not cause much of a stir.
What made people speechless was Satan's unnatural death …
"Tsk tsk, Vic is really inhumane."
"F * ck me … Can't this b * stard just give us a quick death?"
"Ahem, to be fair, Satan died with more dignity. Think about Little Jin …"
"Ugh … That hurts, Yunbei!"
"Kim Doohwan: F * ck Li Liang!
F * ck Li Liang, did you hear that? "
"Eh, wait a minute?
Didn't Satan fire a shot just now?
Did he hit him? "
"It's obvious that he missed. Vic didn't even lose a single bit of health."
“.....”
The spectators were discussing among themselves when the caster's camera cut to the screen.
On the screen, Theshine's Level Three Spetsnaz Helmet, which was wedged between two craters, seemed to have been pierced through by a sharp object.
Puchi. Under the sunlight, an eye-catching mist of blood spurted out from his head.
Seeing this unexpected scene, the audience below the stage could not help but be stunned.
"Who!
Who hit Brother Shine? "
"That was a close call. Luckily it's a Level Three Spetsnaz Helmet."
"F * ck, that's pretty accurate. He managed to land a headshot without Theshine noticing."
"What a ruthless person. But there aren't many snipers left on the battlefield. Could it be Li Kui's sniper, Jembty?"
"Hmm, Jembty is considered a Western sniper god. I think it's possible."
"Wait, did you guys forget about someone?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed in someone's mind. His eyes widened as if he had realized something unbelievable.
It was as if he was trying to clear up the doubts in everyone's mind.
The caster's camera cut to the moment Satan was sent flying by the explosion, when he pulled the trigger and fired a shot!
In the slow-motion replay, the audience could clearly see that the instant Satan fired his gun, the shockwave from the grenade's explosion hit him, and his body unconsciously leaned backward!
As a result, the moment the bullet left the chamber, Satan's shot was like a "surface-to-air missile" that was fired into the sky.
The next moment, with the caster's camera locked on, the sniper bullet that leaped out of the gunfire and flames suddenly flew past the nearest crater, drawing a parabola in the sky like a bolt of lightning.
Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the bullet accurately hit Theshine's head!
"This … Are you kidding me?"
On the Hua Xia commentary platform, Xiao Xiao's mouth was so wide open that a geoduck could be stuffed inside.
The countless spectators below the stage and in the live streaming channels of the various platforms were completely dumbfounded!
"F * ck!
As expected of the True Eye of the Demon King, it's really freaking creepy. "
"Theshine is probably confused as well. They're thinking, 'Who did I offend?'"
"Haha, this is really getting shot while lying down."
"Hey, wait a minute. Speaking of which, why do I feel like someone is going to take the blame?"
“.....”
Despite being ambushed, Theshine did not show much panic on his face. When he heard the gunshot, he instantly determined the position of the enemy and found cover at lightning speed.
His eyes under the fringe on his forehead narrowed slightly as he silently looked in the direction of the gunshot.
'Provocation?'
That was the first thought that popped up in his mind.
After all, the blue circle had shrunk, and his opponent was not in the circle.
Other than that, he could not think of any other reason why the person in that direction would expose himself and shoot him with a 98K despite knowing that he had a Level Three Spetsnaz Helmet.
'Is this really not a provocation?'
The corners of Theshine's eyes narrowed, and his expression grew colder and colder.
If Liu Zilang knew about this, he would have cried out in injustice. Unfortunately, he did not know that he had been made a scapegoat.
.....
In the match, on the right side of the crater in the Factory, the blue circle shrunk slowly without any emotion. Soon, it engulfed the sandy area where Satan had fallen.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zilang naturally did not loot Satan's crate.
In comparison, Shroud's crate was much more attractive.
Slurp, slurp!
Liu Zilang's hands moved at lightning speed. A dark green sniper appeared in his hands in no time.
Slurp, Adore!
However, at this time, gasps and gasps could be heard from the audience!
"F * ck!
What the h * ll? "
"Uh … Vic picked up another sniper?"
"No way, what the f * ck … It really is!"
"Stop!
This isn't a Fish Pond Game! "
"What the f * ck!
The legendary dual sniper is coming back? "
"This guy's really getting cocky. Later in the final circle, won't he look like he's holding two fire sticks when his opponent gets close to him?"
“.....”
On the big screen, Liu Zilang was holding an M24 in his left hand and an AMW in his right.
Below the stage, both the Chinese and Western audiences widened their eyes in shock. They could not believe that someone would play like that in an international tournament.
It was not that no one had ever played dual sniper in a tournament before.
In Europe and America, world-class sniper gods such as Satan and Rocky had played dual sniper, but that was only during the final circle when there were not many players left.
What was the situation now?
Even if the blue circle overlapped with the safe zone, it would only spawn at the fourth last circle. They were still one step away from the final circle.
Moreover, there were still twenty-one players left in the game. It was far from the final circle where you could show off your dual sniper skills.
Liu Zilang's decision to play dual sniper skills in this situation was worrying.
'Hmph, he's showing off again!'
In the audience seats, Zhang Xiaotong could not help but pout as she snorted softly.
Even though she snorted, she did not show any signs of worry on her face.
In her memory, although Liu Zilang often did unconventional things, he had never disappointed anyone.
'No, except for that one time …'
.....
Meanwhile, on Hua Xia's commentary platform.
Sicca gently stroked his chin as he furrowed his brows as he looked at the tournament screen. "Let's not talk about dual sniper skills for now. Vic is in a bit of a pickle. The blue circle is about to refresh, and he'll most likely be killed as he goes downhill."
Lord Rong nodded as he said with a serious expression, "That's not the main point. The main point is that the circle is about to refresh. It'll be fine if it refreshes at the Factory crater on the right, but if it refreshes at the Farmland crater on the left, Vic will have to get past Theshine's line of defense."
"That's right."
Xiao Xiao sounded like she was having a headache. "Even if he gets past Theshine's line of defense, there's still a bunch of Voldemort in the Farmland that's like landmines. It'll be hard for him to move an inch."
"Oh!
Wait!
Is Vic going to drive? "
"It's the bus that Shroud stopped at earlier."
Vroom vroom vroom ~!
Amidst the intense roar of the engine, the bus was already driving along the crooked mountain road outside the crater. The bus was rocking non-stop.
Liu Zilang hummed a tune as he looked quite relaxed.
With the bus, he did not follow the original route to cross the crater from the Factory crater.
Instead, he took a detour around the outer perimeter of the crater.
The only downside to this route was that the bus was too slow. It would be difficult to escape if someone were to attack him.
Fortunately, Liu Zilang was prepared to jump out of the bus at any time. Apart from being a means of transportation, the bus was also a moving cover for him.
Halfway through the journey, the blue circle coincided with the boundary of the safe zone before he could complete his shift.
The next safe zone had refreshed!
"Oh!
The next circle is the Wheatfield crater! "
"There's going to be a lot to see. There's not much cover in the Wheatfield crater."
"Mmm, there's quite a number of players here. I'm afraid that the upcoming battle will be a little more brutal. When the blue circle shrinks further, it'll be like an explosion."
"Vic is considered lucky this time. If he still wants to gamble, I'm afraid he'll be in a passive position now."
"I don't think he's really lucky. Look at the circle. Vic's sniper pair is going to be taught a lesson when the battle starts."
“.....”
Random punches could kill a master.
Liu Zilang's sniper pair might be able to achieve some results if everyone was on their own.
The problem was that there was not much cover in a final circle like the Wheatfield crater. There was a high chance that his sniper pair would be killed by random gunfire in the end.
On the tall mountain between the two craters, Theshine reacted quickly when he heard the sound of the car. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the direction where the car was heading.
Even though their vision was blocked by the crater, he could clearly picture the car's route in his mind.
'Interesting.'
Theshine opened his eyes. He was not too disappointed.
Perhaps from his point of view, killing him late or early was the same as killing him. He was only letting his opponent live a little longer.
Since the safe zone had refreshed to the left side of the crater crater, Theshine looked at the golden wheatfield in the distance. The corner of his mouth curled up.
'It's time for the autumn harvest.'
The next moment, the Kar98K on his back appeared in his hand without anyone seeing him move.
He scoped in and pulled the crosshair!
"Bang!"
The crisp sound of a sniper rifle entered everyone's ears. The caster's camera blurred for a moment. In the blink of an eye, the camera panned to a spot on the wheatfield where blood had spilled out.
"GTiger-Theshine killed SST-esker by headshot with Kar98K!"
17Kills！
When the audience saw the kill notification appear on the big screen, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Oh my god!
Seventeen Kills?
Has Theshine killed that many people already? "
"Look at the kill leaderboard!
Satan was killed by Vic. Theshine is now in first place. "
"Wow, where did this guy steal so many kills from?
I thought Vic would be able to reach the top after Satan's death. "
"That's not strange, right? I remember Theshine was in second place. Didn't they always ride on Vic's head?"
"Yup, but GTiger's sniper is Rocky. I didn't expect Theshine to be so good at sniping. That headshot almost blinded my eyes."
"They're all freaks. That's understandable. Just look at Vic."
“.....”
Without a doubt, Theshine's shot had shocked the audience.
Of course, the ones who were even more shocked were the few Voldemasters who were hiding in the wheatfield. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
That was because the remaining people did not know if Theshine's shot was a warning to others, or if it was just a small test of their skills to start a massacre.
If it was the former, no one knew if they had been discovered. No one knew if what happened just now would be a warning to them.
How could they not panic?
That was Theshine's goal with that shot.
After all, professional players, even "Voldemasters", would make use of the surrounding terrain to find the most suitable hiding spot. It was impossible for them to lie prone like in a random matchmaking game and think that they couldn't see them.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Theshine to have a clear view of everything.
He had discovered the player whom he had shot earlier. He was just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
That opportunity was right before his eyes.
After all, panic was contagious.
It was fine if one person was panicking, but when a group of people panicked, something bad would happen.
On the commentary platform, Xiao Xiao looked at the screen and said, "Theshine's shot is quite impressive. But why did he stop?
There are a few more lying prone down there. "
"Hmm …" Sicca rubbed his chin and tilted his head slightly. "I think he hasn't seen them yet."
"Mmm, probably not."
Lord Rong nodded and continued, "However, Theshine's shot can be considered a warning shot. The situation in the wheatfield is a little chaotic now. I feel like everyone is getting restless."
"Oh!
TSM's Jeemzz has gotten up. He's looking for cover. "
"Mmm, this situation is too unsettling."
"But wait, someone has gotten up next to him."
Following the cries of surprise from the commentators on the commentary platform, an awkward scene appeared on the big screen.
Not far away from each other in the wheatfield, two silhouettes suddenly appeared in two seemingly empty spots.
Both sides looked at each other.
At a time like this, they would not say things like "What a coincidence, you're here too" or "Have you eaten yet?"
The only thing they could communicate with was the guns in their hands.
Tut tut tut ~!
Tatatat ~!
Gunshots exploded in the wheatfield. The sound of bullets exploding from the barrel of a gun instantly became one!
The gunshots were like sparks that ignited a barrel of dynamite.
In an instant, the other players who were prone on the wheatfield nearby also got up and tried to move.
In the end, everyone found their neighbors. Moreover, they were bad neighbors. At a glance, there were at least six or seven of them.
Seeing this exciting scene, the audience in the stadium became alert.
"They're fighting!
They're fighting! "
"Oh my god, the wheatfield is a mess."
"Can't help it. They wouldn't know if they didn't fight. They probably didn't know that there were so many cunning players hiding around them."
"Tsk tsk, Theshine is really a master of pacing. Are they going to advance to the final circle in advance?"
"Oh!
Theshine is starting to steal chickens. Is it a silenced SKS? "
"Wow, this guy's equipment is a little weird. He's actually carrying a 98K and an SKS. It looks like these free players don't walk the normal path."
Pew pew pew ~!
The muffled sound of the silenced SKS rang out.
Flowers of blood bloomed.
Unknowingly, Theshine had successfully "stolen" two of the players on the wheatfield when they were at critical health.
His kill count had also reached 19 kills!
On the Hua Xia commentary platform, Lord Rong took a deep breath. "Theshine is starting to go all out. If this continues, I think his kill count will surpass Vic's in the previous match …"
Vroom ~!
Unexpectedly, before Lord Rong could finish his sentence, a deafening roar of an engine was heard.
The next moment, a large bus rushed down from the circular mountain toward the wheatfield!
....
