Liu Zilang did not shoot not because he could not shoot. Rather, it was not time for him to shoot yet.
As long as he remained hidden in the guard tower, Vampire who was below him would not sense his presence.
Typically, a player would search the guard tower after climbing up the slope. However, Vampire had been distracted by M4 who was below him. Compounding to that was the fact that he had not been ambushed from behind, he had a subconscious idea that the guard tower was safe.
After a short while, Vampire was seen sneaking downhill to loot his opponent’s crate before he sneaked up the hill once more.
Liu Zilang snickered as he watched Vampire run uphill with a set of brand new equipment. He imagined that he had picked up lots of consumables too.
He was happy that he had found a ‘part-time helper’.
In more professional terms, he was currently the owner of a ‘pig farm’, and he was fattening his produce.
Vampire’s gunshots had exposed himself to the rest of the players in Rozhok. Hence, they most likely would have taken a detour to escape the blue circle, and there would no longer be any more easy prey, unlike M4.
Of course, there were exceptions.
Vampire, who was prone on the grassy high slope, shifted to his left and right continuously. It was as if he was being extremely cautious of something. Liu Zilang wondered if it was time to send him to the abattoir.
Suddenly, he saw a silhouette appear in the southern area of Rozhok. It seemed like it was heading toward them.
‘Sneak attack?
‘Did an enemy notice me?’
Liu Zilang was taken aback a little. However, the answer was quickly revealed.
That player’s target was not himself but rather Vampire who was prone there.
‘Interesting.’ The hint of a grin appeared on Liu Zilang’s lips. He postponed the idea of sending his ‘pig’ to the slaughter.
On the commentary platform.
“It’s SmaK from TSM! It looks like he’s planning something!”
“That’s right. He’s sticking closely to the path under the slope, and he has managed to evade Vampire’s field of vision.”
“Looks like he might succeed in his sneak attack!”
“Heheh, even if he does, have you forgotten that Vic is still there?”
“Tsk tsk! Vic is being very cunning by hiding there. I can’t imagine what their faces will be like when they realize someone has been observing them from the sidelines.”
“…”
After a short while, SmaK got into range.
From his vantage point at the high tower, Liu Zilang could see Smak’s head occasionally peek out from ground level like a gopher as he made his way uphill.
SmaK might have discerned from the gunfire earlier that someone was occupying the top of the slope and came to the conclusion that the person was most likely still there. Without knowing the exact position of his opponent, he moved very cautiously.
Liu Zilang was getting impatient and wanted to show him the way.
Then, SmaK finally found Vampire’s position!
He smiled with glee!
He did not expect Vampire to notice his presence, and he inched his way uphill.
However, just when he saw Vampire, Vampire turned around his body and saw him.
Both of them looked at each other.
Suddenly, gunfire erupted!
Tut tut tut!
Tatatat!
Both of them lifted their guns at the same time and delivered intense sprays of bullets at each other.
Fortunately for SmaK, he was still on the slope and could retreat to safety by going downhill.
After Vampire had taken out a chunk of his health, he swiftly crouched.
Swish swish swish!
A series of bullets brushed past his scalp.
SmaK did not recklessly stand up again and instead used a healing item while he was crouched.
On the other hand, Vampire was eager to finish his opponent off. Even though he did not have much health left, he did not heal himself. Instead, he reached into his backpack and pulled out a frag grenade.
Liu Zilang knew that he could not sit there and wait when he saw the grenade. If the opponent somehow missed the throw and it landed on him instead, it would have been too late for him to raise any objections.
On the big screen of the tournament, Liu Zilang was seen abruptly standing up. He lifted his AK to shoot at Vampire who was cooking a grenade in his hand.
???
Vampire was nearly sent into cardiac arrest when he saw Liu Zilang materialize from thin air!
His health was already extremely low. After a round of shots from Liu Zilang, he collapsed to the ground without any hesitation.
Boom!
The grenade exploded on his corpse!
His body was sent spinning into the air, and it flew into the distance in an arc.
Liu Zilang did not have the time to enjoy the view.
After killing him, he stepped onto the flight of stairs as fast as lightning and then hopped down to the ground!
SmaK, who was below the slope, was shocked when he heard gunfire come from above him. He wondered how someone else was still up there.
When he lifted his head, all he saw was a muzzle flash.
He was just about to retaliate when his screen turned black and white, and his viewpoint was brought to the sky…
“4AM-Vic killed TSM-SmaK with AKM!”
3 Kills!
The live audience members and live stream viewers gave a collective cry of surprise after watching him wipe out two opponents in one fell swoop.
On the commentary platform, Lord Romg exclaimed, “This time, Vic used his intelligence to steamroll his opponents!”
“Yup. If Vic had gone to the northern half of Rozhok after clearing out the southern half, I’m not sure if he would’ve been able to leave Rozhok alive. By giving the other players a psychological cue and then finally being able to take down two opponents with ease, he shows us what it means to be an intelligence-type player.”
“Tsk tsk! After looting those two crates, I don’t think he’ll be lacking in equipment any more!”
“…”
Kar98K!
4x Scope!
Sniper Cheek Pad!
Rifle Compensator!
…
Plus various consumables.
Liu Zilang shopped around left and right. He managed to get a complete set of level two gear, a main weapon, and off-hand weapons.
Rozhok was devoid of human presence by then. The other players had taken a detour to somewhere else. However, a few people jumped into the northern settlements while passing by Rozhok as they escaped the blue circle.
Liu Zilang looked around him on the high slope. He knew that in the match, there were people who had jumped to Water Town, Ruins, and School.
Among those resource points, School was undoubtedly closest to him.
It was also a famous place that spawned 8x scopes.
Having thought of that, Liu Zilang made up his mind. He rode on his buggy and drove uninhibitedly toward School.
Instead of abandoning his vehicle and making the journey on foot, he would rather ride on his buggy and cause a ruckus. That was, to a certain extent, the right decision.
If he had sneaked toward School, he would not have been able to find out the positions of his opponents within the building even though his opponents were similarly oblivious about him.
If that was the case, he was forced to play carefully.
On the other hand, he did not know the number of people in School and it had multiple exits.
Even if he found himself secure himself a location, he would not be able to pay attention to all the other locations. People could sneak away from him without him knowing.
Putting that into consideration, he preferred to cause a riot and lure his enemies out.
What happened next was well within expectations.
After going around School twice with his buggy, he heard an intense bout of gunfire.
Liu Zilang’s eyes focused on his next target!
