Chapter 710: Laying the Groundwork!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the residential area of Georgopol.
Next to a window in a two-story building.
A Kar98K rested in Shen Zeyan’s hands. His 8x scope was firmly locked onto the smokescreen.
He did not hold his breath, and the crosshair on his screen shook slightly.
He and his gun... were very silent.
Suddenly, sothing flew out from within the smokescreen.
In an instant!
The crosshair of Shen Zeyan’s 8x scope shifted toward a certain point within the smokescreen and struck like a venomous snake.
Bang!
The clarion ring of a sniper rifle!
A sniper bullet pierced through the air as it flew toward its target!
The caster had Shen Zeyan’s first-person’s perspective on the cara. The live audience mbers and live stream viewers did not have enough ti to react when...
A cloud of blood appeared from within the smokescreen, and then sothing seed to fall.
The next instant...
A kill notification appeared on the top right corner of the screen.
“IG-Wolves killed SKK-Vivian with Kar98K!”
Whoa!
Countless viewers from the live audience and the live stream roared in surprise when they saw the incredible blind shot!
“Oh my gawd! That blind shot... he’s not cheating, right?”
“F*ck! How did he even hit her?”
“Look at Master Ze’s face. He looks so calm!”
“Master Ze: It’s just a basic technique, don’t overreact! Now sit back and watch!”
“What a showoff! That shot made all moist down there!”
“By the way, I know Vivian wasn’t at full health earlier, but didn’t she have quite a lot of health left? Furthermore, Master Ze didn’t hit her on the head. How did he one-shot kill her?”
“I’m wondering about the sa thing as well. Did he hit another vulnerable spot?”
“...”
It has to be ntioned that the viewers in the live stream channel were sowhat precognitive.
After a short while, the caster replayed the scene.
Under God’s perspective from the caster’s cara, all smokescreen and obstacles were removed. Only the two players remained on screen.
After Shen Zeyan had shot his bullet, blood spurted out from a spot on Vivian’s head from within the smokescreen!
Was it a bug in the notification?
Su Changming imdiately shook his head and said, “No, it’s not the head, it’s the neck!”
The caster’s cara zood in on Vivian who had already fallen to the ground.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw a gaping bullet hole on Vivian’s neck, it was exactly as what Su Changming had said!
“Shen Zeyan did not hit her head, yes, but his shot was still extrely accurate to a certain extent.” Lord Rong smiled dryly.
“I’m more concerned about how he was even able to hit Vivian at all,” Ruo Feng said as he rubbed his big nose. “The first shot was a lucky shot, sure. However, if the second shot is also a lucky shot, it’s too taphysical.”
“It wasn’t a lucky shot.” Lord Rong, who had proclaid confidently that Shen Zeyan would not be able to hit his target earlier, replayed the scene in his mind. “If I’m not mistaken, Master Ze must have discerned Vivian’s position by looking at where she tossed the second smoke grenade.”
“I think so too,” Su Changming said as he rubbed his chin. “Master Ze is not a showoff like Zilang who has many tricks up his sleeve. His playstyle is more like a venomous snake who’s always lying in wait. He can pick out the smallest flaws in the most opportune mont and can deliver unbelievable results.”
Ruo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air as he listened to the analysis of the other two comntators. “That ans... Master Ze not only discerned his opponent’s position by looking at where she had lobbed the smoke grenade, but he also hit her neck in one shot...
“Hiss! That’s unbelievable!”
“Heheh, that’s the difference between an amateur and a professional.” Lord Rong joked. “These seemingly impossible maneuvers are all but basic techniques in their handbooks.”
“However, Master Ze’s situation now doesn’t look too good.”
“Yup. Thanks to that delay earlier, Master Ze is the last player to move out of Georgopol and the V-shaped trenches. More importantly, his gunshot earlier has exposed his presence to the other players. He should be faced with a lot of resistance when he tries to enter the safe zone later.”
“Eh? Soone from the V-shaped trenches has already entered the safe zone. Oh! It’s Vic!”
As the comntators cried out in surprise, the caster’s cara shifted over to Vic.
On the tournant screen, a ‘grass monster’ in a ghillie suit was seen stealthily sneaking into the circle.
That grass monster was none other than Liu Zilang.
The ghillie suit had been with him for a while, and he had been wearing it ever since he picked it up from the airdrop crate at the grassy knoll near School.
Its effect had not been too obvious before this. Sotis it was even eye-catching.
However, he had now transford into a ‘mirage tank’. He silently crept into a bush that was about half the height of a human’s.
Then, the caster’s cara shifted to soone amid the wheat field.
After Liu Zilang had moved into position, that person tried to sweep his view along the edge of the field with his 4x scope.
The bush was already well-hidden. Along with the camouflage effect of Liu Zilang’s ghillie suit, that person swept across Liu Zilang’s position twice without noticing that he was there.
The audience looked at each other when they saw this.
It was not your typical case of “Vision is not required in competitive esports”. The person on cara earlier was none other than the ‘True Devil’s Eye’, the god-like Satan!
If Liu Zilang had managed to pass the ‘quality control’ of a player of such caliber, it ant that his camouflage worked.
A minute and a half passed.
The blue web that covered more than half of the map shuddered. Then, it continued to relentlessly devour the last piece of the ‘holy land’.
It was already the third-last circle of the match. One did not need to elaborate on the amount of damage it dealt.
The shrinking of the circle was a signal that started a chain of events!
The players from Georgopol and the V-shaped trenches imdiately made their move.
They unleashed their respective talents. So of them threw smokescreens, while so of them lobbed frag grenades. They each perford their ‘pilgrimage’ toward the safe zone.
Tut tut tut!
Tatatat!
In the blink of an eye...
The gunfire beca one continuous din. The entire northwestern part of the safe zone had beco a chaotic lting pot!
Liu Zilang, who was hiding in the bush, had the urge to try a few shots when he heard the sounds of war coming from behind him.
However, he was aware that him opening fire would ruin his grand plan. His hiding place was already perfect. That would not be the case if he opened fire.
He would be under the eyes of everyone in the safe zone. Without any physical cover, he would imdiately perish.
Liu Zilang could only restrain his urge and repeat to himself...
‘I am a tree...
‘A tree...’
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.
Liu Zilang carefully turned his head around.
Soone wielding a gun was sneaking toward his position while stealing dirty looks to his left and right.
Liu Zilang was dumbfounded!
‘Are you... f*cking kidding ?
‘Don’t co any closer!
‘I’ll scream if you do!’
