Chapter 728: The Hunt Commences!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Zilang’s kill count had increased to five since he had finished off Frolicer at the slope.
The second circle had refreshed. His kill count, compared to the type players who focused on getting good equipment at the start of the game for a chance to rank better, was already a respectable one.
However, compared to the ‘macho men’ who had carved a path of bloodshed from Georgopol to Pochinki, it was not enough.
Looking at the kill count leaderboard, he was only in seventh place.
Some of the players higher up on the leaderboard even had a higher overall score than he did.
If he placed ‘winning the Solo King title’ as a benchmark, his current pave of five kills was equal to no kills at all. It could even be said that he was lagging behind.
Risk and opportunity always went hand in hand.
Under such circumstances, Liu Zilang was forced to look for more chances to obtain kills.
However, after eliminating the opponent at the gas station, the pressure on him was greatly relieved.
The motorcycle parked behind the wall of the gas station gave him a boost of confidence.
Liu Zilang looked at the shrinking blue circle on the map. Before riding the motorcycle, he threw a smoke grenade toward the front of the building next to the T-junction.
On the rooftop of the building.
Mossy’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Zilang throw a smoke grenade his way!
Liu Zilang had exposed his identity when he killed the opponent behind the gas station. Mossy was, of course, wary of players of Liu Zilang’s caliber.
Mossy breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the ensuing scene. After getting on the motorcycle, Liu Zilang rode in the opposite direction.
The motorcycle traversed the wheat field and headed toward the beach in the distance. The smoke grenade seemed to be nothing more than a diversion to confuse the opponent.
‘I knew he was a cunning guy!’ Mossy said to himself as he watched Liu Zilang’s silhouette fade into the distance.
On the commentary platform.
“Hm... Is Vic going into the safe zone already?”
“The second circle will refresh soon. I think that it’s a safe choice.”
“It’s too dangerous to storm the buildings after all.”
“Oh? Wait... Vic’s path... there’s something not quite right about it!”
“That’s right, it looks like he’s going to turn back.”
“Oh my god! He’s turning back!”
As the commentators cried out in surprise!
Under God’s perspective, the motorcycle was seen tearing through the beach in a tight arc like a mini whirlwind. It then made its way back through the wheat field and headed straight for the building near the T-junction!
It was faster this time!
Its killing intent was obvious!
Everyone understood what he was trying to do.
Liu Zilang never had the intention to leave the scene. He had taken a detour just to gain speed.
Wait a second!
Why did he want to gain speed?
Someone in the audience had realized this and that person yelled in surprise.
The ‘mini-whirlwind’ that was on its return journey dove straight into the smokescreen in front of the building at the T-junction.
Then, under the bulging eyes and gaping mouths of viewers from all around the world, the motorcycle burst out of the smokescreen and flew in the air!
That was not the main point!
The main point was that the motorcycle was headed straight toward the rooftop Mossy was hiding on.
Beat Magnum? (TN: A reference from the Japanese animation, ‘Bakusou Kyoudai Let’s & Go. This model car, owned by one of the protagonists, Gou Seiba could spring into the air.)
The viewers in the Chinese live-stream channel became cross-eyed when they saw the scene...
No one had expected Liu Zilang to storm the building in such a manner.
Of course, this included Mossy who was on the rooftop.
As he listened to the rumbling of the motorcycle engine get louder and louder, he positioned himself behind the wooden door that led to the rooftop and aimed his gun at the door.
He played out the ensuing scenario in his mind.
When his opponent was climbing up the stairway, he would first throw a frag grenade to catch him by surprise. On the other hand, he could also blind him with a stun grenade and then finish him off with a burst of bullets.
Neither of his plans included the part where his opponent arrived at the rooftop by flying.
Time seemed to have slowed down...
Mossy’s eyes bulged when he saw the growing silhouette of the motorcycle coming from above him.
‘Am I in the right game?’
Mossy quickly came back to his senses and lifted the rifle in his hands.
Then, all of a sudden, a blinding flash appeared in the sky!
Tut tut tut!
Accompanying the rapid stream of bullets was Liu Zilang who had detached from his motorcycle midair. He had aimed his M16 at Mossy and then delivered a stream of bullets by tap-firing extremely quickly. The stream of bullets was like a thunderbolt heading toward Mossy who was on the floor.
Thunderous Dragon Drill!
Before Mossy could fire his first bullet, clouds of blood spurted out from his body. He quickly found himself on the floor.
“4AM-Vic killed Gates-Mossy with M16!”
6 Kills!
Liu Zilang landed on the rooftop with both of his hands and let out a slight grunt.
Standing victorious, a corpse and a crate laid beneath his feet.
...
Everyone in the live audience and live stream channel was dumbfounded by how easily he managed to take over the building!
“LOLOL, is that you, Gou-kun?”
“Vic’s skills on the motorcycle make him a show-off!”
“That’s the visiting professor of the Gongshu Driving Academy for you. I’m still dizzy about how he entered the building from the rooftop.”
“What do you mean ‘enter the building’? Is that how you enter a house? From its rooftop?”
“Bahaha! I submit! There’s a new entry for the definition of ‘storming the building’ now!”
“...”
Meanwhile, as the viewers waxed lyrically over Liu Zilang’s achievement, Shroud, who had witnessed the entire thing in the match, began to feel a little intimidated.
He had crossed paths with many friends and opponents ever since he started playing FPSes when he was seven years old.
The admiration he felt toward Liu Zilang for his ridiculous tactics and unparalleled driving skills was genuine.
Even so, that did not affect his morale.
As a top-tier professional player, he was able to quickly discern Liu Zilang’s aura. That was, Liu Zilang was taking the initiative to attack the other players near the bridge.
‘Am I his next prey?’
Shroud lifted an eyebrow as he thought about it.
Since Liu Zilang had returned, he was without a doubt going to clear the area of enemies.
Shroud had ‘fixed’ his feet while he was hiding behind the jeep near the end of the bridge. He was definitely not going to forget that grudge.
In the match, after Liu Zilang had looted his fill from Mossy’s crate and healed himself, he swiftly got up and headed downstairs.
As he was heading down the flight of stairs from the rooftop, he heard a band and a sniper bullet struck him squarely in his back!
Liu Zilang grunted as the bullet took out a chunk of his health. However, he did not stop and instead continued his way downward.
‘Did he change to a sniper?’ Liu Zilang smiled as he replayed the sound in his head.
After healing himself for a bit on the first floor, he ran out of the building and headed toward his motorcycle that was currently lying in the middle of the road.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as they watched Liu Zilang get onto the motorcycle under Shroud’s crosshair.
Is this man... insane?
