Kar98K Upon Touchdown! - Chapter 740
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After three minutes and fifteen seconds, the radioactive blue circle would start spreading once again, devouring the final ‘holy land’ on the map.
The circle would finish shrinking in fifteen seconds. For every second one was bathed in the blue radioactive web one would grunt. It was as if a pistol was pressed against one’s chest and was being fired each second.
Fifteen seconds in the blue circle, five minutes to die by firing squad.
The two methods of execution were almost equivalent. There was no escaping one’s fate.
At that time, the few people left in the match went cross-eyed when they saw the new circle…
Players on both halves of the cliff had respectively considered that they were the unlucky ones, whereby the circle had refreshed on the other side from where they were standing.
However, the circle in the middle of the sheer cliff was unprecedented and unexpected.
Who could enter the safe zone other than Spiderman?
On the commentary platform.
“Heheh, it looks like Boss Su hit it on the spot yet again. There are times when a coin will land on its side! So it looks like the situation is bad for everyone now.”
“Yup. Even though there might be around three minutes before the circle starts shrinking, there’s no point in waiting it out for that. They have to start fighting for it.”
“Oh, and they are! Vivian and Master Ze are dueling with snipers!”
“Vivian can be pretty menacing with an AWM. However, she knows that Vic is behind her. That’s why she isn’t acting too reckless, she’s surrounded on both sides.”
“Satan is below the cliff. His position is relatively safe for now, and he doesn’t have to move yet.”
“Wait, someone is sneaking under Vic now, it’s Break from team TSM. He might have come over because he heard the gunfire. That position, that pose…”
“Oh, Break is throwing a grenade!”
As the commentators yelled out in surprise, the caster’s camera shifted from the situation between Vivian and Shen Zeyan to that of Liu Zilang and Break.
Break must have heard Liu Zilang sneaking potshots at Vivian with his MK14. He was thinking of using a grenade to ambush Liu Zilang.
He cooked the grenade for a while in his hand.
The pupils of Break’s eyes constricted. Then, with an overhand throw, he threw the grenade up the cliff.
Whoosh!
The grenade traced a parabola in the air as it flew over Liu Zilang’s head.
Boom!
Amid the fire and thick smoke, a violent shockwave expanded outward toward its surroundings.
Liu Zilang was of course caught in the blast.
He vomited a mouthful of blood and was nearly knocked to the ground.
Fortunately, Break did not know Liu Zilang’s exact position. He could only throw the grenade based on a hunch.
Fortunately, his hunch was off by a little bit. Hence, it allowed Liu Zilang to survive with a sliver of health left.
Hiss!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw the extremely perilous scene.
Break furrowed his brows.
‘Did I miss?’
Undeterred, another frag grenade appeared in his hand.
The three commentators on the platform began to lose their composure when they saw this.
“Wow! Break is like Bomberman this time. I think it’s the end for Vic.”
“Yup. The main point is that Master Ze and Vivian are also on the cliff. He’s unable to move away from the boulder.”
“Indeed. Once he exposes himself, I doubt his two opponents will be merciful.”
“Oh! Vic isn’t healing himself. He has pulled out a grenade!”
“That’s a good choice. But Break is going to throw another grenade as well. Vic’s health is too low. It’s game over for him once the grenade leaves Break’s hand. He’ll get a one-to-one trade at best.
“There’s a slight possibility that Vic might knock away Break’s grenade with his, it’s not like he has never done that before. However, that would be greatly dependent on luck.”
Just as the three commentators were worriedly analyzing the players’ next moves, Break had finished cooking the grenade in his hand. He flung it into the air with an overhand throw.
A familiar feeling, a familiar parabola…
Break looked intently at the grenade he had thrown. He was confident that it would find its target.
At the same time, Vic was snooping over the edge of the cliff to find his opponent. The pupils in his eyes suddenly constricted!
‘Bad news!’
He saw a black spot flying toward him, and it was growing bigger in his field of vision.
In such a dire strait, Liu Zilang dared not show off with any flamboyant moves. He needed to survive until the end.
As the grenade was flying toward his face, he immediately stashed his grenade in his backpack. With lightning speed, he then pulled out a pan from his butt and gave the grenade a firm smack.
Watahh!
Duang!
The crisp sound of a pan was heard!
The grenade was then sent flying downward by Liu Zilang’s pan.
Grenade unclaimed. Return to sender!
Everyone’s eyes bulged, and before they could react…
The area below the cliff was shaken by an explosion!
Boom!
Amid the expanding ball of fire and billowing thick smoke, Liu Zilang who was on the cliff saw something being sent flying into the sea.
Buzz!
The bullet screen of the Chinese live stream channel exploded with activity like a bowl of water that had been poured into a wok full of boiling oil!
“F*ck me! Is that the Legendary technique, Higuma Otoshi?” (TN: Literally ‘Bear Drop’. From the Japanese animation, ‘Prince of Tennis’, one of three ‘Counter Moves’ by Shusuke Fuji.)
“No, that’s Tsubame Kaeshi!” (TN: Another Shusuke move, literally ‘Swallow Return’.)
“LOLOL, Vic’s pan is getting better and better!”
“Not gonna lie, his pan is definitely worth a champion weapon skin.”
“LOLOL a pan weapon skin? And you think you’ll be as good as Vic if you use it?”
“…”
In the match, Liu Zilang let out a breath of relief as he had averted another peril. He hastily pulled out a first aid kit and jabbed a syringe into his chest.
His two ‘neighbors’ might not have known that he had just survived with a sliver of health left, but he could not predict whether the ‘berserk girl’ Vivian would randomly toss a grenade. It would be the end of him if she did.
Evidently, his worries were unfounded.
Vivian was still locked in a battle with Shen Zeyan, and her spirits were riled up.
‘I don’t believe my AWM will lose to your M24!’ she thought to herself.
She was nevertheless not a professional sniper. Even with an AWM, she missed out on many details and chances because of her lack of experience. Regardless, her extraordinary reflexes had caused the duel to be a prolonged one.
…
However, at some random point, all gunfire on top and below the cliff abruptly ceased!
There was no other reason.
Only less than ten seconds remained on the countdown timer.
After several firefights, seven people still remained on the battlefield.
Three on top, four below.
“Looking at the safe zone… I think the best way to win the chicken dinner is to kill everyone else before dying to circle damage.”
“Yup. However, looking at the survivors on the battlefield, they’re going to throw smoke grenades and converge at the center of the safe zone.”
“That’s right. There’s no way they can enter the safe zone. The least they can do is to get as close as possible to it so that they die last.”
The stage of the match was a test on one’s overall skill.
They needed to make a decision based on their understanding of the terrain. At the same time, they had to react according to their opponents’ movements.
Of course, accuracy and gun skills were paramount!
Only the player which excelled in all the above fields was worthy of the star-studded ‘Solo King’ title!
On the cliff.
After tossing a smoke grenade, Liu Zilang carefully made his way down the sheer cliff, moving as close to the safe zone as he possibly could.
Not only did he have to be wary of his opponents, but he also needed to watch his step.
Otherwise, slipping and falling to his death at such a time would be the most embarrassing thing ever.
At that time, the final blue circle had started shrinking toward the center. The play area of the battlefield was being constructed, and conflicts were inevitable.
Tatatat~!
Tut tut tut~!
Bang!
An assortment of guns joined the deadly symphony.
Bullets whizzed across the air, filling the area with danger.
Liu Zilang became extremely composed at this time. It was the time that he was most focused. Like a spider on its web, he drew in information from his surroundings with the highest level of concentration.
The MK14 in his hands flicked from his left to his right. The control he had over his body and gun was as if he was an acrobat dancing on a high wire!
In the blink of an eye…
Three kill notifications appeared on the top right corner of the screen.
“IG-Wolves killed Faze-Haxete with M24!”
“4AM-Vic killed Vega-ENINOEL with MK14!”
“4AM-Vic killed Underhood-Alva with MK14!”
“…”
Liu Zilang scored two kills in a row.
22 Kills!
At this time, an unexpected kill notification appeared on the screen.
“SKK-Satan killed SKK-Vivian by headshot with Kar98K!”
The audience roared in surprise!
“Oh my god! Satan killed Vivian in one shot while she was dueling with Wolves!’
“Scary! That’s an emotionless assassin for you!”
“Never underestimate the True Devil!”
Only Liu Zilang, Shen Zeyan, and Satan were left. All of them faced different predicaments. However, Liu Zilang had it the worst.
He was already taking circle damage!
On the brink of life and death, Liu Zilang pulled off a move that nobody expected.
With a grunt, he swapped to his crossbow and fired a bolt at Shen Zeyan who was on the slope next to him!
Just as the bowstring sprang, as if the bolt had not left the bow yet, he leaped off the cliff with a heave!
“Whoa!” The audience yelled!
It was a gamble of life and death!
The next instant, while he was still falling in the air…
An MK14 appeared in his hands!
Tatatat~!
The gun’s muzzle flashed, and countless bullets were ejected!
At that time, Satan was climbing up the cliff in an effort to avoid the blue circle.
He lifted his head only to see a fiery display above him!
Under the caster’s camera, on the big screen.
The muzzle of the MK14 in Liu Zilang’s hands spat tongues of fire. Like a heavenly sword that was descending from above, its unstoppable force pierced Satan’s body!
Before Satan could lift his gun, he was already down on the ground.
The next moment shocked everyone.
Right when Satan had fallen to his knees, a row of bright yellow letters appeared on the screen.
Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!
‘Wait… that’s it?’
The viewers and the commentators were still recovering from the shock Liu Zilang’s ‘Flying Dragon Descent’ had given them. They once again sunk into confusion…
“Wait!”
Suddenly, someone noticed something.
The champion’s weapon skin!
Everyone saw Liu Zilang fire the crossbow first and then the gun.
So the problem was…
Who died first?
