Chapter 662: Outrunning the Blue Circle? No Such Thing!

Why would people think that he was wallhacking?

During the exchange of fire amid the smoke, Liu Zilang seemed like he was confident about the locations of his opponents. How else would he have known about their positions?

Of course, the live audience also knew about the locations of his opponents. However, that was because they had God’s perspective.

So the problem was, how did Liu Zilang know where his opponents were?

The chatroom in the Chinese live-stream channel was bustling with speculation.

“F*ck! Does Vic have X-ray vision?”

“I know! He must know the legendary technique, Astral Projection!”

“Astral Projection sounds plausible LOLOL.”

“So the other problem is... even if he knew where the opponents were, how did he survive and fight back against his opponents who were on opposite sides?”

“...”

When that comment appeared on the channel’s bullet screen, everyone fell silent.

It was then that most people realized...

The key to Liu Zilang’s victory in the exchange was not his wall hack-like spatial awareness, but rather the two shotgun blasts that he had fired in a flash.

As for most people in the channel, they knew that even if they were aware of the presence of their opponents behind a door, they would not have been able to pull off such an incredible feat.

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“So what do you think, Captain Feng? His skills aren’t too bad right?”

Meanwhile, Ruo Feng was still dumbfounded, and his mouth was agape. He was not able to speak until a long while after.

He shook his head. “Well, frankly speaking, without hyperbole, I’d put him solidly among the top ten players in the world. I wouldn’t have guessed that Vic could stand up against Scoom, the rifler of team Liquid. Not to mention, he was able to take down two enemies! Strong! Unbeatable!”

“Heheh, I wouldn’t say the same thing if it was one-on-one,” Su Changming said while smiling, “But in the case of one-on-two, that kid’s shotgun had an overwhelming advantage. Even gods fall to the S686!”

“I don’t quite agree with Boss Su.” Lord Rong smiled and continued with his analysis, “I think that under such circumstances, the shotgun requires more precise control.”

“Especially with an S686 like Vic had, the margin of error is even smaller. Like an assassin, he walks on a path of no return. The S686 only has a magazine size of two shots. If he had missed any of those two shots, it would’ve spelled doom for him.”

After hearing Lord Rong’s analysis, the people in the Chinese live-stream channels finally realized...

Liu Zilang made it seem like he had pulled off an easy maneuver. However, it was actually fraught with danger!

...

In the match, Liu Zilang had just dispatched two enemies like a merciless assassin.

He was half-crouched on the floor.

The smoke had not yet dissipated. He remained crouched, feeling like he was missing something.

‘Oh, right!’ Liu Zilang’s eyes brightened.

The next moment, he pulled out an energy drink and gulped it down on the spot.

The caster’s camera was still on him.

The live audience members and stream viewers were shocked when they saw him gulping down an energy drink despite being at such low health.

“Shouldn’t he be using a first aid kit at this time?”

“Is he showing off? Like a drunken swordsman you see in kungfu movies?”

“F*ck... but he’s drinking an energy drink though?”

“LOLOLOL”

“...”

Based on what the Chinese live-stream viewers knew about Liu Zilang, they thought that it was quite plausible.

They fell silent and did not know what to say.

In the match, Liu Zilang wiped his mouth after downing an energy drink.

‘That felt good!

‘Now I feel like a real man!’

At the time at hand, he felt like he could take on the world with a sniper and a shotgun. There was nothing he needed in the two players’ crates.

What was important for him, though, was the advantage offered by being the one who struck first. It had allowed him to take down the building.

Liu Zilang and the two players were roughly along the same circumference. When the new circle appeared, if they were not in the safe zone, they would undoubtedly encounter each other while on the move.

Furthermore, if both of them knew each other’s positions, their advancements would be stalled.

Liu Zilang’s shotgun and sniper combination seemed cool. However, he knew that his AWM only had two bullets left. Shooting with an S686 at such a distance came down to luck. Therefore, his only choice was to deliver a preemptive strike to eliminate them. This was because they could have ended up blocking him from advancing.

The situation that had unfolded proved that Liu Zilang had made the right choice. When the countdown timer struck zero, the next circle indeed appeared somewhere near the center of the previous safe zone.

There were no opponents around Liu Zilang.

There were no obstacles obstructing him from entering the safe zone. However, Liu Zilang ran across the hallway to reach the balcony on the opposite side of the building.

Perhaps it was prudent to observe his surroundings before making a move.

It was nevertheless the second last circle, and the play area was incredibly small.

The terrain in the last few circles was hilly, and there was dense vegetation on the ground. Who knew how many cunning players there were among the last 12 survivors on the battlefield; hiding behind reverse slopes or among tall grass?

No matter how painful the circle damage was, he could not afford to be rash. He was waiting for someone to show up and guide the way.

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“We’re now approaching a crucial point in the tournament. It’s possible that the match will conclude before the last circle.”

“Well, as predicted by Captain Feng, the positions of the two teams led respectively by Shroud and Karl in the safe zone are too advantageous.”

“That’s right. Most importantly, an overarching slope separates them, and they don’t pose as threats to each other.”

“Let’s take a look at the overall situation. Other than the two teams led by Shroud and Karl, other surviving teams on the battlefield are from team Knights, Navi and Gold. They are all duo teams. On the other hand, Vic and Ninja are lone wolves.”

“Speaking of Ninja, his journey thus far has been a difficult one. His teammate from team Faze died a short while after the match had started. Fortunately, he’s a Twitch streamer well-known for his skills. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to survive this far.”

“Oh! There’s a team that’s attempting to enter the safe zone. They’re from team Knights!”

The commentary cried out in surprise as they watched the tournament screen. The two players from team Knights were attempting to enter the circle from the southeast with thirty seconds left on the countdown timer.

Unfortunately for them...

Who struck them first were not the teams of Shroud and Karl, but rather two Navi players who had emerged from their flank.

Diplomatic relations between America and Russia broke down!

The conclusion was all but foregone.

In such a situation where nobody else but the two had moved, it was like how “the early bird gets the gun”.

Even though the two players of team Knights had thrown smoke grenades, they were killed by flurries of bullets that had been shot toward their general direction.

Meanwhile, the other teams took this opportunity to sneak toward the safe zone from all directions.

Amid the bustle of human activity...

The only one who was still stationary was the one who was crouching on a second-floor balcony, Liu Zilang.
