Due to a freak combination of factors, the four SSS players mistook Gu Cun, who was secretly following them, for se7en2's little brother.
The four of them were extremely shocked as they scolded their opponent for being cunning and vicious.
After they were done scolding him …
Before the next blue circle refreshed, the four of them changed directions.
The four of them changed their direction and moved along the slope near the road in the South District toward the safe zone.
They were traumatized. If they did not take a detour, who knew if the squad in front of them would set up another ambush?
In the eyes of the casters and the spectators, this scene was hilarious.
"Puhaha, did SSS think that Gu Cun and se7en2 are in cahoots?"
"Judging from their reactions, I think that's very likely."
"That's interesting. I didn't expect Gu Cun to help se7en2 out."
"But since he's following se7en2, I don't believe that he doesn't have any ulterior motives."
"Don't, Gu Cun, calm down!"
"se7en2 said that as long as you cooperate, I'll guarantee that you'll be second, right?"
"GG, they've arranged it so quickly?"
“”
All sorts of speculations appeared on the bullet screen.
However, Gu Cun was probably the only one who knew what the silent young man was thinking.
It was just as the casters had predicted.
After the third last blue circle, the number of players alive on the battlefield dropped by half. There were only twelve players left.
"It was a tough fight, but the next circle will be refreshed soon."
"The circle has refreshed outside of the city. It looks like it's going to be a tough fight for all of us."
"That's right. The circle won't refresh to the last one since there's no cover. It looks like the winner will be decided after the next blue circle shrinks."
"There are only five squads left on the battlefield. They're se7en2's four-man squad, SSS and FTD's three-man squads, and the two lone wolves. All in all, there are three squads with eight players in the city and two squads with four players outside of the city."
"Mmm, it's worth mentioning that Big Brother A + who came out of School with Vic and the others is still alive. Moreover, he's currently occupying the destiny circle despite not having the chance to enter the city. Although he's alone, he still has a chance in this match."
"Yes. In comparison, Lone Wolf Gucun isn't having a good time. He was sandwiched between se7en2 and SSS as a spy within a spy. Both sides think that he's one of them."
"FTD has emerged as a new force in this match. They've taken over Destiny in the safe zone outside the city. I'm quite optimistic about their chances in this match."
“”
Seeing that the match had entered the deciding stage, the casters began to analyze the situation on the battlefield. The live audience and live stream viewers could not help but feel nervous.
Who would be able to get a good start on the first day of the competition? This was a question that everyone was concerned about.
The countdown timer for the second last blue circle was one minute. Once the countdown ended, the circle would shrink in fifteen seconds.
Although this blue circle was not the most painful one, the damage it dealt every second was still quite unbearable, unless they were fully healed and crouched down on the spot to heal themselves.
There was only one result.
That would be the end of the line.
Although se7en2 was at full strength, their problem was that they were stuck in a stalemate with SSS and Lone Wolf in the housing area on the west side of Rozhok's southern district.
In addition to that, the players outside the safe zone were covering them. It was even more difficult for them to break through the defense.
Time passed by slowly. Soon, there were only fifteen seconds left on the countdown timer.
Liu Zilang, who had been frowning, took a deep breath. He knew that it was time for him to make a decision.
In reality, he was not the only one.
At that time, Lone Wolf and the rest of SSS who were not too far away from them also began to make their move.
Clank clank clank clank!
The three players from SSS threw smoke grenades toward the outside.
However, Lone Wolf did not throw a smoke grenade.
When SSS threw a smoke grenade, he quickly made a simple and honest decision.
Four on the left, three on the right.
To the right!
Without any warning,
Gunshots suddenly rang out in the city!
The three players from SSS, 211, and company would never have thought that their opponents would not enter the safe zone when the blue circle was about to shrink. Instead, they would ambush them.
They were caught off guard.
SSS's rifler, Vovo, was instantly knocked out.
Since the blue circle was about to shrink, it was impossible for them to revive him.
However, NB211 was enraged by the ambush. He said to Lil 'Tian with a dark expression,
"You enter the safe zone first. Don't worry about me."
"You don't want to run away from the blue circle?
Then don't run away! "
The next moment, he saw Liu Zilang and company who were also trying to enter the safe zone.
"Bang!"
The clear sound of a 98K gunshot rang out!
In the blink of an eye,
A sniper bullet was fired!
Li Muqiu who was climbing over the wall was caught off guard. Blood spurted out of his waist as his health dropped by half.
He was stunned for a second time as he was hit again. He then said angrily, "Who's this Special Liang!
Where's the justice in this world? There's so many people out there, why did he have to attack me!!! "
As he spoke, he was about to take out his SKS and aim at the direction of the gunshot. He wanted to reason with his opponent.
However, at that time, Shen Zeyan who had been silent all this while suddenly said, "You leave."
Hearing his words, the three of them were stunned for a while. Then, they immediately reacted.
Shen Zeyan wanted to stay behind and cover their retreat.
After all, since his opponent wanted to cause trouble, they had no reason not to play along.
At that time, other than Misaka Mikoto who opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, Liu Zilang and Li Muqiu did not hesitate to jump over the wall after hearing Shen Zeyan's words and dashed into the smokescreen in front of them.
This was because they trusted Shen Zeyan with their backs. Moreover, they knew that although Shen Zeyan did not speak much, it also meant that it was difficult to change his mind.
Then, the circle of blue radioactive web suddenly shook and began to spread toward the center, devouring the last piece of land in the safe zone.
Just as Shen Zeyan and NB211 were staring at each other in confusion …
The "perpetrator" Gu Cun who had stolen an SSS player with one shot and was about to say, "It's not a loss to trade for one, it's a gain to trade for two" was suddenly stunned.
The next moment, he suddenly put away his gun and threw a smoke grenade toward the empty space outside.
Then, with a "swoosh", he dashed out and followed Liu Zilang and the others into the smokescreen of the safe zone.
It looked like a kid who had smashed someone's window and suddenly realized that there was a kid passing by to help him take the bucket, so he quickly sneaked away.
Naturally, Shen Zeyan and NB211 who were engaged in a sniping match noticed Gu Cun's sudden appearance. However, they did not know how many people were on the other side and how many had entered the safe zone.
Therefore, when they saw Gu Cun's figure disappear into the smokescreen, Shen Zeyan and NB211 thought that he was on the other side and did not pay too much attention to him.
Of course, they also did not know that the person was the culprit who started the fight.
However, when the live audience and live stream viewers saw this scene through the caster's camera, they could not help but be stunned!
