M24!
Level three helmet!
Ghillie suit!
Sniper Extended Mag!
…
These items came into view as soon as the crate was opened.
Before Jembty could drag any of the items into his backpack, the buggy which had been charging at him came right up to his face!
It has to be mentioned that the buggy was strong at climbing slopes. Its speed did not reduce by much when it did so.
One second before, Jembty’s eyes were looking at the interface of the crate and his backpack. However, the rumbling of an engine had caused his eardrums to shudder.
One second later, Jembty turned his head.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Zilang’s buggy was right up his face.
“Oh my god! Vic is going to commit vehicular manslaughter!”
“That’s a little too vicious, no? Wait a second! Jembty won’t be able to dodge in time!”
“Has Vic been possessed by the racing god of Mount Akina this time?”
“…”
It was too late for Jembty to arm his weapon as well as dodge to the side.
With his life hanging by a thread, an idea flashed in his mind!
Jembty’s right leg bent behind him. Then, he jumped on the spot!
Whoosh~!
Liu Zilang’s buggy went under his legs!
Whoa!
The audience gave out a collective cry of surprise when they saw the perilous scene!
Jembty’s heart was still thumping as he had just dodged a seemingly fatal accident. The hint of a grin appeared on his lips.
‘Didn’t expect me to fly, did ya?’
He quickly hid behind the airdrop crate. Swapping to an M16, he then sprayed a volley of bullets at Liu Zilang.
Liu Zilang had missed earlier. Hence, he could not use the buggy as cover. However, he did not slow down and instead continued his headlong rush up the knoll!
Screech!
Liu Zilang swapped to the shotgun seat and hopped off the buggy. He swiftly hid behind a tree.
A grenade appeared in his hands.
Ching!
Pull the pin!
Cook the grenade!
At the same time, Jembty who was behind the airdrop crate saw that Liu Zilang had gotten off the buggy. He also swapped to a frag grenade!
‘Taste this big guy!’
He cooked the grenade in his hand for a short while after pulling its pin and then threw it in the direction of the knoll!
Behind the tree, Liu Zilang was planning to wait for a little longer. However, seeing the grenade flying toward him, he had to quickly make up his mind.
He squinted his eyes which were transfixed on the grenade that was flying toward him from behind the airdrop crate. Then, he threw the grenade in his hand like a baseball pitcher!
“Oh! Both of them have decided to throw grenades!”
“The trajectories are quite accurate! Now both players have to dodge.”
“That’s right, otherwise there will be no survivors in this bout! The airdrop crate will go to someone else then.”
“Wait a second! Oh my god, Vic’s grenade!”
On the commentary platform, Ruo Feng cried out in surprise as his hands clutched the sides of his head. His nose seemed to have grown in size from the shock!
The live audience members were unable to clearly see what had happened before they heard a clank.
There seemed to be some sort of collision!
Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped when they took another look at the screen!
The two grenades knocked into each other midair. Liu Zilang’s grenade strayed from its trajectory and flew to the right, while Jembty’s grenade was knocked back toward the left by the collision.
Behind the airdrop crate.
Jembty resumed looting after throwing the grenade. He lifted his head to see that his opponent had thrown a grenade too, and it was quite accurate.
Jembty dared not stay behind the airdrop crate. He immediately dove to his right.
He was not afraid of exposing himself since his opponent would also be dodging his grenade.
He had not even taken a few steps yet when he heard a clank midair not too far away from him.
‘What’s that noise?’
Confused, Jembty lifted his head, and he was immediately given the shock of his life.
A grenade was flying toward him.
In a hurry, Jembty stopped in his tracks and started running in the opposite direction.
He considered himself lucky to have noticed the grenade with his sharp senses and managed to dodge it just in time.
However, he had not managed to take a breath after running to the left side of the crate before he heard a thud. It was as though something had dropped next to him.
Just like…
Raindrops falling on the grass…
Or the distant chimes of a school building…
Boom!
A ball of fire rose into the air together with thick black smoke!
Jembty was confused for a short moment before he was sent flying from the slope!
Splat!
He fell heavily onto the ground. Then, he rolled all the way downhill before he came to a stop.
A kill notification appeared on the top right corner of his screen.
“Faze-Jembty killed himself with frag grenade!”
Jembty was dumbfounded when he saw the kill notification.
The sound of the grenade exploding was still ringing in his ears.
Amid the ringing, he heard an inner voice…
A distant voice was asking him…
‘Who am I? Where am I?
‘Where do I come from? And where do I go?
‘What is my purpose in this vast universe?
‘Where did all my past moments go, and where will my future moments come from?
‘Who killed me? And whom did I kill?’
Amid the sea of questions, the answer crashed into him like the peal of a gong!
At that moment, Jembty had an epiphany!
‘I killed me!’
‘That’s correct!’ Behind the tree at the hilltop, Liu Zilang gave himself a thumbs-up at the successful completion of his grenade plan!
At the same time….
The tens of thousands of people in the live audience sunk into deathly silence out of shock. It was as though they were the ones who had been killed by the grenade!
“Oh my god! Was that even real?”
“My eyes, they deceive me!”
“That’s unbelievable!”
“That’s Vic, the incarnation of Thor! That grenade shooketh me!”
“Alright… I can feel Jembty’s helplessness now.”
“…”
On Hua Xia’s commentary platform, Lord Rong’s throat moved as if he wanted to say something. He then turned stiffly at Su Changming and asked with bemusement written all over his face, “This Vic… what was he before he became a professional player?”
“What was he?” Su Changming scratched his head. “He’s a student.”
He then added, “Oh, I’ve heard that he’s a top student too.”
Lord Rong: …
Ruo Feng: …
Even if he was an elite student, how could he bend the laws of the game like that? The caster’s camera was on Liu Zilang earlier. No one would have believed them if they said it was an unintentional accident!
While the commentary platform waxed lyrical over that scene, the caster’s camera cut to somewhere else.
On the big screen of the tournament, Drainys of team Navi was seen perching on the rooftop of a building in the north. He raised the Kar98K in his hands.
The next moment, Liu Zilang was seen running happily toward the airdrop crate and then crouching near it. He had turned into an ‘unmoving target’.
The live audience gasped in surprise and then shared a moment of silence for him.
The bigger threat had yet revealed himself!
