Honk honk honk!
Beep beep beep!
A series of car horns were heard.
In an attempt to avert attention, Aluka abandoned his car and proceeded to the beach on foot. He did not expect Liu Zilang to have already discovered him, what more that the latter was pursuing him while sounding the horn of his car.
The situation was similar to a scammer trying to get someone to ride in their car after they had exited a train station.
‘Hey, bro, need a ride?’
‘Ride your *ss!’
Aluka’s face darkened when he heard the car horn.
‘That guy is quite the bully!’
Abandoning all intention of running away, he turned around and pulled out his gun before tap-firing a volley of bullets at Liu Zilang.
“Oh! Aluka is retaliating!”
“That’s right. The situation now is that Aluka knows his opponent is Vic, but Vic doesn’t know that his opponent is Aluka. That’s hidden information, and an advantage for Aluka.”
“Vic is still dashing forward! Does he plan on running Aluka over?”
“Run him over? That’s a little too reckless, no? I think the car will explode before he reaches him!”
In the match, the small yellow car swerved to the side as it got near its target.
Screech!
Its spinning tires skidded on the ground and its rear sideswiped Aluka.
Aluka knew his opponent’s temperament. His opponent was confident that he would not be killed by his wave of bullets, otherwise, he would not have gotten so close to him with the car.
He had put up his guard against the car’s movements.
When he saw that Liu Zilang was about to ‘knock his pants off’, Aluka quickly put away his gun and dodged to the side.
‘This guy’s pretty fast!’ Liu Zilang was shocked when he saw his opponent dodge his ‘rear-wheel drift’.
He raised a playful eyebrow.
Riding on the momentum of his rear-wheel drift, he stepped on the accelerator again!
The wheels of the car skidded on the sandy beach before they reversed unexpectedly.
From God’s perspective, the rear-wheel drift plus the emergency reverse combo was seen to have drawn an amazing figure in the sand!
It was the number ‘7’!
Everyone in the Chinese live stream channel became excited. A flood of ‘7’ and ‘Se7en’ covered the bullet screen.
As Liu Zilang’s teammate, Aluka had never let his guard down.
Just as his opponent reversed on him, he nimbly leaped to the side again and dodged the car!
Liu Zilang was really surprised at that point.
He did not know that his opponent was Aluka. He thought that this person had dodged his ‘7’ special attack by reflex and intuition.
He might not have known the identity of his opponent, but he was in high spirits because he was facing down an opponent of such caliber!
His fingers danced on his keyboard. In the game, his avatar swapped from the driver’s seat to the shotgun passenger seats.
As he had predicted, Aluka pulled out the M4 that was slung on his back after dodging the collision. Then, he retaliated with a stream of bullets at the still-reversing car.
Liu Zilang dodged the attack perfectly by preemptively swapping seats.
Aluka pulled his crosshair to the shotgun passenger seat after he saw that his opponent had dodged the first attack.
Liu Zilang did not repeat the trick again. Instead, he hopped off the car.
The car was already slowing down. Hence, he did not lose any health from that jump.
The car continued to reverse due inertia. Liu Zilang immediately crouched behind it and then moved with the car as he pulled out his gun.
The car was the only cover between him and his opponent.
Once the car was out of the way, they would have to face each other’s muzzles directly.
This was also true for Aluka.
Under the caster’s camera, Liu Zilang and Aluka were seen moving along with the car that was retreating to the sea.
While walking, they fired at each other through the car’s windows.
Clank clank!
Bullets landed on the chassis of the small yellow car, producing many sparks!
“F*ck me upside down. That’s a little too extreme, no?”
“That’s 4AM’s internal conflict for you! It’s not your run-of-the-mill fight.”
“I think it’s awkward for Vic though, his stunts were all countered by Aluka.”
“What’s going to happen now? The car’s about to explode!”
“I don’t think it will. Don’t you see that it’s going toward the sea?”
On the tournament screen.
The small yellow car reversed farther and farther away from the shore and was about to drop into the sea.
Liu Zilang and Aluka on both sides of the car seemed like they were fighting intensely. However, their health levels did not drop by much thanks to the car in between them.
Splash!
The small yellow car finally slid into the sea. Liu Zilang and Aluka were forced to move along with it.
If any one of them stopped moving, they would lose the cover that the car provided. Then, they would suffer the merciless bullets of their opponent.
However, going into the sea would not solve their problems completely. Aluka suddenly had a brainwave!
He had thought of a risky idea.
Still moving along with the small yellow car, he abruptly unarmed his gun and silently pulled out a grenade.
Tatatat~!
Ching!
Using the sound of Liu Zilang’s gunshots as cover, Aluka pulled the pin of the grenade in his hand and started cooking it.
From God’s perspective, the commentators on the platform clearly saw what he was doing.
“Oh! Aluka wants to sneak a grenade in!”
“He might have a chance! Vic happened to be shooting when he pulled the pin, and Vic might not be aware that a grenade is already cooking in his opponent’s hand!”
“Heheh. I suppose Aluka could toss it underhandedly.”
“Looks like the players of 4AM have their own bag of tricks now. Even Aluka is doing an underhand toss.”
“I’m excited to see what will happen. Do you think that Vic’s reign as the Incarnation of Thor will end and Aluka will inherit the crown?”
The viewers’ eyes were glued to the tournament screen as the commentators spoke.
Aluka, already knee-deep in the sea and still moving along with the small yellow car, was almost done cooking his grenade.
Just as he raised his arm, something unexpected happened!
On the tournament screen…
Aluka was seen to have just raised his arm and was about to toss the grenade. However, his body, half-submerged in seawater, abruptly changed into a swimming animation.
Aluka felt something buzzing in his head. He suddenly felt like an idiot!
Under normal circumstances, it was a natural occurrence in the game. Once a player’s character was submerged deep enough in water, the game would automatically put their character into a swimming animation.
However, Aluka’s situation was a little different this time!
He had a grenade cooking in his hand!
While swimming, a player’s character could not use any weapons, throwables or consumables.
Naturally, the grenade that was about to be tossed by him was suddenly stuck in his swimming hand…
Boom!
A loud explosion was heard.
After the ripples cleared, all that was next to the car was a floating crate…
…
