Chapter 705: My Brother Can’t Be This Cool!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bang bang bang!

A stream of crisp and fast gunfire was heard.

AimPR from team TSM was wielding a Mini14 as he tap-fired a string of bullets at Liu Zilang’s back.

As a sniper, the bullets shot were of course aimed at Liu Zilang’s head.

Liu Zilang had stood up from his crouched position after swapping to his M24. That was why the bullets hit him in the waist instead.

Even so, they had taken out a substantial chunk of his health. He only had less than a quarter of health points left.

Liu Zilang dared not pursue his target when he was under the risk of being killed in another shot.

He swiftly wedged himself between the acute angle that was formed by the jeep and motorcycle and laid prone there.

Meanwhile, Karl who had caught fire and had jumped off his vehicle also had his health level in the red. At the moment when Liu Zilang hopped off his motorcycle, he had aborted healing and started ‘snake-dancing’.

He thought he was a goner!

Luckily for him, the unknown assailant attacked Liu Zilang in the nick of time, and by a strange twist of fate, saved his life.

It was nothing out of the ordinary though.

The two people were at the edge of the safe zone. There were no people nearby other than those who were entering the safe zone in the distance.

However, their ‘doggie-style’ romp across the field had caused quite the commotion, and naturally, they had attracted the attention of others!

…

Liu Zilang was inserting a syringe into his arm at that moment.

Unexpectedly, a head peeked out from the V-shaped trenches. It looked around for any signs of life.

That person must have heard the gunfire earlier and was hoping that they could steal a kill.

Liu Zilang, who was healing himself while wedged in the tight space, had kept a tight lookout on his surroundings. He noticed that person as soon as he stuck his head out of the trenches.

‘Oh, f*ck!

‘I hope that person isn’t looking at me!’

Liu Zilang grumbled in his heart. He then took a deep breath!

‘He can’t see me!

‘He definitely can’t see me!’

After comforting himself with self-deception, Liu Zilang’s heart suddenly skipped a beat!

He quickly aborted healing and pulled out the jet-black M24 that was slung on his back!

At the same time, the person at the V-shaped trenches noticed Liu Zilang. He scoped into his Kar98K that was equipped with an 8x scope.

‘I’m finished!’

The viewers in the Chinese live-stream channel felt gusts of cold wind blow over their hearts as the caster’s camera focused on the scene.

“It’s definitely game over for him!”

“Nothing can be done about it. The enemies just keep coming.”

“Karma can be a b*tch sometimes.”

“Bro Karl is still the kick*ss one here for pushing the motorcycle so far away with the jeep.”

“Too bad Vic hadn’t managed to fire his gun earlier, otherwise he would have traded his life for one more kill.”

“Lucky for this kid Evan from team Underhood, he gets a free kill just like that, and it’s one of the better players too!”

“…”

Everyone had prepared eulogies to recount Vic’s life in the match.

Bang!

Splat!

Two guns fired at the same time. It was impossible to tell who had shot first!

Those with keener ears would have said that the Kar98K was shot slightly before the M24.

However, the next moment, the spectators in the live audience started unblinkingly at the stage. It was as if they were unable to process what had happened!

On the big screen of the tournament, blood spurted out from Evan and Liu Zilang at the same time.

However, Liu Zilang did not die even though he was hit by a bullet.

As for Evan, a spout of blood appeared on his head. He was sent flying back into the trench from the impact of the sniper bullet.

“4AM-Vic killed Underhood-Evan by headshot with M24!”

11 Kills!

“F*ck me! This isn’t a f*cking illusion, is it?”

“I can somewhat digest the fact that Vic didn’t die from the shot, but didn’t he just swap his gun out? How could he have been as fast as Evan?”

“I know that some guys finish first, but that was a little too fast!”

“Unless he’s the Flash!”

“…”

The bullet screen of the Chinese live-stream channel bustled with discussion.

On the tournament big screen, the caster replayed the scene with the screen split between Liu Zilang’s first-person perspective and his player cam.

Liu Zilang’s fingers were seen tapping on his keyboard. The sounds they produced made it seem like he was playing the piano.

The instant he scoped in with his M24, the pupils in his eyes constricted, and he moved his mouse in a wide arc!

The in-game camera was a blur, and the next moment, the M24 gave out a soft sound.

Liu Zilang immediately unarmed his gun. The entire sequence was one fluid motion. No one else could have been as fast as him!

Especially the last part where he confidently unarmed his gun after delivering his shot. On the player cam, the caster had captured him quietly mouthing the word “die”!

It was extremely cool!

The live audience members and live stream viewers cried out in surprise after witnessing the scene!

“Shifu, add oil! You’re the best!”

Misaka Mikoto waved her arms wildly in the front row of the audience seats. Her eyes were full of tiny stars.

“Shifu is just too cool! Don’t you think so, Miss Suck?”

“Wait, I’m not Miss Suck…” Wang Qianqian who was next to her crossed her arms in front of her chest. “I’m Miss Shark! SharkChilli, you know that, right?”

“Yup!” Misaka Mikoto nodded. “Loud and clear, Miss SuckChilli!”

Wang Qianqian: …

At the same time, back in the district of Jianghai in Hua Xia.

Zhang Xiaotong was hosting an online watch party from the computer in her bedroom. She clenched her petite fists tightly out of excitement.

Then, she quickly realized that she had misbehaved in front of the camera. She calmed her nerves as she harrumphed in her heart.

‘Hmph!

‘That wasn’t cool at all!’

￣3￣

…

Meanwhile, the live audience was still cheering, and the exclamations from the three commentators did not cease!

“Tsk tsk, Vic’s sniping is just too fast. Even I didn’t see that clearly!”

“Heheh, I think that the caster regrets not replaying the scene in slow motion. For those out there who did not watch the scene clearly, you’ll have to replay this video in slow motion after the tournament is over.

“Yup. Vic’s reflexes are faster than anyone could have ever imagined. It’s unbelievable!”

“Some viewers might find it strange that even though the replay that was shown showed us that Evan had fired his Kar98K first, he fell before his bullet hit Liu Zilang. That’s the advantage of bullet speed the M24 has over the Kar98K.”

“That’s right. Vic’s ultimate turnabout was possible not just because of his skills and accuracy, a lot of it also depended on his M24.”

“Yup. That’s why many snipers would risk their lives to chase an airdrop crate. The performance of an airdrop rifle is far more superior for any sniper worth his salt.”

“…”

Despite having taken out the threat from the trenches with one bullet, Liu Zilang’s situation in the match did not improve by much.

Not only was he being aimed at by AimPR from team TSM with a Mini14, but Karl who was behind him had also healed himself in a smokescreen.

With enemies on both sides, he could be attacked at any time!
