On the map, the blue circle and the safe zone overlapped. The new safe zone did not continue to adhere to the 'tangential' rule. Instead, it refreshed a 'concentric circle'.
The center of the circle was at the dragon inn, which was where Satan and the others had moved to. As for School, it was no longer within the circle.
Therefore, when the circle refreshed, not only Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong, but Rcoky and Guru G who were on the rooftop of School were also stunned.
After looking at the gatehouse, the two of them looked at each other.
"Buddy, what do you think?" Rocky looked at Guru G who was beside him.
"Those two are hiding in the gatehouse and not coming out. It's going to be difficult." Guru G shook his head.
If it were someone else, based on Rocky and Guru G's strength, they would have rushed in and killed the person hiding next to them.
However, now that they knew that their opponent was Vic, Rocky and Guru G were in a difficult situation.
Just like how Liu Zilang did not dare to risk his life in School, Rocky and Guru G would not want to fight Liu Zilang in close combat unless it was a critical moment.
That was because it would be a fight to the death. It was not like a sniper fight where they could revive the fallen player.
With this in mind, Rocky and Guru G hid on the rooftop and observed for a while. In the end, the two of them decided to enter the circle first.
Therefore, they quickly jumped down from the rooftop on the west side of the teaching building, passed through the gap in the wall next to the swimming pool, and headed west.
.....
In the gatehouse, Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong were on high alert for a long time, but there was no movement on the rooftop.
Of course, when Rocky and Guru G left, they did not let Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong know. In fact, the two of them left in secret so that they could make them stay for a while longer.
"Um … Is there anyone else upstairs?"
Zhang Xiaotong looked up and then at the blue circle behind her. She could not help but ask anxiously.
Hearing that, Liu Zilang rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile, "That's easy. You'll know once you go out for a walk."
Zhang Xiaotong's face darkened. She flashed her canine teeth and glared at Liu Zilang.
Liu Zilang chuckled when he saw that.
He said that just to tease her. Naturally, he wouldn't really let this little girl go out and risk her life.
Liu Zilang rubbed his chin as he stared at the rooftop for a while. In the end, he decided not to take the risk. After calling out to Zhang Xiaotong, he quickly jumped out of the gatehouse through the east window. The two of them circled the outer wall and headed toward the west side.
On the commentary platform.
"The two teams on the school's side have already retreated. It seems that they are very rational."
"That's irrational. There's nothing we can do about it. After all, there are 39 contestants left, and it's not time for the final battle yet. Besides, in today's TPP's third-person perspective mode, the one who initiates the attack will be at a disadvantage."
"That's true. But now that Satan has taken over the dragon inn, they know that there are two more squads in the school. They'll definitely be on guard. It'll be difficult for the two squads from the school to get there."
"That's right. There's another problem. Guru G and Rocky are at the front. Logically speaking, they'll enter the safe zone first. When that happens, they'll have to turn around and block Vic and Xiaotong-chan."
“.....”
While the casters were analyzing the situation on the field, Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong had already circled around the School's surrounding walls and arrived at the north side. Their safety along the way proved that their worries were completely unnecessary.
"Phew!
Looks like the players on the rooftop have escaped the blue circle. "
Liu Zilang looked at the grassy field in the direction of the dragon inn. He was surprised that he did not see anyone there.
Zhang Xiaotong looked at the countdown timer, then turned around to look at the radioactive web behind her. She could not help but ask nervously, "Then … What should we do?
Should we run over there? "
Liu Zilang turned around and looked at her in surprise. "Run over there?
Aren't you afraid that the one in front will turn around and attack you? "
Zhang Xiaotong choked when she heard that. She did not say anything else.
Naturally, she was more afraid than anyone else.
Liu Zilang scratched his butt and pondered for a while. Then, he said, "How about this, we'll split up."
"Ah?
Split up again? "Zhang Xiaotong was shocked.
When they split up at Sosnovka Military Base, Zhang Xiaotong's little heart was thumping non-stop.
Therefore, when she heard that Liu Zilang wanted to split up again, her little face instantly turned sour.
Liu Zilang squinted his eyes and smiled ambiguously. "Why?
Are you afraid? "
This was the simplest way of "provoking". However, it was a tried and tested method for the "tsundere" Zhang Xiaotong.
As expected, when she heard that, Zhang Xiaotong immediately straightened her little bear. "Who … Who's afraid?
Hmph, we'll split up then! "
Liu Zilang laughed in his heart. However, he did not show it on his face. "Alright then, I'll take a detour from the north and stick close to the blue circle. I have a feeling that the two people in front of us are looking for a place to ambush us."
"Ah?"
Zhang Xiaotong was shocked. She immediately widened her eyes and looked to the west. Naturally, she could not see anything.
She could not help but tilt her little head in confusion. "Is there?
Why can't I see anything? "
Liu Zilang's mouth twitched when he heard that. He said unhappily, "How can it be called an ambush if you see it?"
"There's obviously nothing."
Zhang Xiaotong mumbled softly. She recalled what she had said earlier. She raised her head and stared at Liu Zilang. "If you take a detour from the north, what about me?"
"If you …" Liu Zilang chuckled. "You'll sneak up from here."
"Ah?
I don't want to! "Zhang Xiaotong said angrily." You're selling me out again! "
Liu Zilang immediately felt wronged. He explained, "I'm selling myself, alright? I'm not asking you to walk over. Aren't you the best at crawling?
By then, even if there's someone in front of us, their attention will definitely be focused on me. If you crawl over from here, they won't notice you. "
Zhang Xiaotong immediately blinked when she heard Liu Zilang's words. "Really?"
As soon as she said that, she suddenly thought of something. She instantly blushed. She said shyly and angrily, "You … You're the best at crawling. I was … was …"
"Strategy!
Strategy, right? "
Liu Zilang gave her an "I understand" look. He smiled and said, "Alright, alright, alright. Later on, you'll execute the strategy that you're best at. Just follow my gaze."
As soon as he said that, Liu Zilang did not wait for Zhang Xiaotong to reply. He immediately headed north.
Zhang Xiaotong really wanted to ask what "follow my gaze" was. She was stunned for a while before she realized that Liu Zilang was just teasing her. She could not help but let out a cry of annoyance.
Immediately after, she stuck her head out and looked left and right. In the end, she quickly laid prone and crawled forward.
As Liu Zilang headed north, he turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaotong who had turned into a caterpillar. He could not help but laugh in his heart. 'Even though you say no, you're still able to crawl up pretty quickly!'
However, he was not lying. He was indeed prepared to use himself as bait.
Although Liu Zilang was not sure if his opponent was really lying in ambush in front of him, it was never wrong to be cautious.
If he really used Zhang Xiaotong as bait, it would basically be like throwing a meat bun at a dog. Hence, it was safer for him to do it himself.
.....
In reality, Liu Zilang's guess was not wrong.
After Guru G and Rocky came out of School, knowing that someone was tailing them from behind, how could they be at ease leaving their backs to the other party?
They had to be quick and decisive.
Liu Zilang was merely pushing them.
At that time, under the caster's camera on the big screen, in the empty space between School and the dragon inn.
Two figures were lying there motionlessly, like two ferocious beasts hibernating in the dark.
Unsurprisingly, these two were naturally Rocky and Guru G.
The two of them held their breaths and focused on the direction of the School's wall.
At that time, Rocky inadvertently glanced to the north. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes.
"There's someone in the north!"
"How many?"
"I'm not sure, I've only seen one so far."
"Be careful, they might be coming out from School."
After a short conversation, Rocky and Guru G quickly guessed what was going on.
However, in the empty space between School and the dragon inn, other than the two trees near School, there was no other cover. However, the terrain was not as flat as it should be. Instead, it was uneven.
Liu Zilang stayed close to the north of the blue circle as he crouched and moved forward quickly.
Rocky and Guru G could only see the top half of his body. They could not be sure if there was anyone else around him. Hence, they had no way of knowing Zhang Xiaotong's movements.
"What do you say?
Should we shoot? "Guru G turned around and looked at Rocky.
The reason why he asked that was because the two of them were lying prone on the grass. They were in a kind of camouflage mode.
If they did not shoot, they could continue lying in ambush. It was not impossible for the enemy to send the two of them over.
However, if they were to shoot, it would be fine if they could kill the enemy directly. If they could not, they would expose themselves.
Then, their ambush would be useless. They might even attract the attention of the squad at the dragon inn ahead of them.
In a split second, Rocky went through all the possibilities in his head. Soon, he said in a deep voice, "There's no rush. Let's move forward a little more. We'll talk about it when we reach that empty space."
After all, it was not certain if they would be able to knock out the enemy immediately. Even if they could, the enemy was lying in a concave area. If they were to lie prone, they would be out of their line of fire. If there were teammates around them, they would be able to revive them even if they were knocked out.
Instead of that, they might as well wait for an opportunity to kill them in one shot.
Guru G was also a clear-minded player.
When he heard Rocky's words, he quickly understood what was going on and nodded calmly.
On the commentary platform.
Looking at Zhang Xiaotong crawling on the ground in a ghillie suit, Hai Tao could not help but ask, "What's going on with Vic?
Why did he leave Xiaotong-chan behind all by herself? "
"Hmm …" Lord Rong furrowed his brows and pondered for two seconds. He then slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xiaotong-chan is probably a backup plan. Vic might have guessed that Guru G and Rocky are lying in ambush in front of him."
"Tsk tsk, speaking of which, Guru G and Rocky are really calm. They didn't even shoot Vic when they saw him."
"Mmm, I don't think they want to expose themselves so early in a situation where they're not a hundred percent confident."
"Ah!
If they don't expose themselves, won't Xiaotong-chan be in danger? What if she crawls on their faces? "
"Uh … That … Seems like it's possible."
"I think it depends on Vic's ability to pull aggro. If he can force Guru G and Rocky to make a move earlier, then Xiaotong-chan will be more confident."
"Pull aggro?
It's just a mocking face. That's fine. "
At the end of his sentence, Lord Rong's words made Hai Tao and Tuan Tuan look at each other.
However, it made sense. When it came to mocking, who was more professional than Liu Zilang?
.....
It was as they had expected.
Liu Zilang, who was running close to the blue circle in the north, was initially more cautious with his body crouched low.
However, as he ran, his body became more and more unrestrained. It made people want to shoot him.
Guru G was the first to lose his patience.
As a streamer, he did not have the rigor and patience of a professional player. After calling out to Rocky, he raised his 98K, scoped in, and fired an instant-snipe at Liu Zilang.
Unexpectedly, even though Liu Zilang was unrestrained, he was still extremely vigilant of his surroundings.
Since the TPP's field of vision was not restricted, even though Guru G and Rocky were hiding beside him, Liu Zilang was able to see them the moment they stood up!
They were finally out.
Liu Zilang focused his gaze. He did not crouch down to dodge. Instead, his sprinting body suddenly stopped!
Whoosh!
In the next moment, a bullet suddenly pierced through the air and flashed past his eyes like a flash of lightning!
Even though he was not a sniper, Liu Zilang, who was used to sniping, was familiar with snipers' ability to predict a moving target.
Therefore, he boldly chose not to dodge. Instead, he stood calmly on the spot and dodged Guru G's shot.
However, Liu Zilang was confident, so he did not panic.
However, this scene was witnessed by countless viewers in the live stream and the spectators. Through the observer's perspective, they only saw the sniper bullet that was fired from Guru G's muzzle. It was like a meteor dragging a trail of blue flames as it whizzed past Liu Zilang who had suddenly stopped moving.
On the other hand, Liu Zilang's unflinching demeanor caused a huge uproar in the arena!
"F * ck me!
This b * stard Vic is too much! "
"Act King!
The former Act King of Douyu is back! "
"When it comes to acting cool, Vic is as good as ten of us!"
"Vic: If I don't act cool for a day, I'll suffer!"
“.....”
Just as Zhou Yizhen was sighing in the crowd.
The next instant, Liu Zilang who was standing on the spot tilted his head to the left again!
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes widened once again. They could not help but open their mouths wide as they watched a bullet fly past Liu Zilang's temple with a trail of flames behind it.
This time, Liu Zilang's calm demeanor caused countless European and American spectators to gasp in surprise!
"Oh my god!
Vic's tilt of his head is too cool! "
"Wow!
I think I've fallen in love with this handsome guy from the East! "
"This is too cool. Does this guy know how to predict the future?"
“.....”
Of course, Liu Zilang did not know how to predict the future.
He only knew that there were two opponents and he also knew who they were.
Logically speaking, after the first sniper, there would naturally be another sniper. That was why he remained motionless with his head tilted to the side.
Of course, Liu Zilang would not admit that he was acting cool.
He was confident that he was low-key and never acted cool. He had no interest in acting cool.
However, this time, he did it on purpose …
.....
