Kar98K Upon Touchdown!

Time passed in the match, and when the countdown timer hit 0, the radioactive blue web shuddered all around before it started converging toward the center.

From the caster’s God perspective, SKK who had occupied the best position had eliminated Lminosity. Both teams previously occupied the same eastern sector.

Most of the remaining teams in the circle were positioned in the western half of the play area.

Furthermore, gunfire had just begun to erupt in that sector.

It spread throughout the entire half of the play area like wildfire and did not stop.

At that time, the four players of SKK had spread out their formation. They knew that once the infighting in the western sector stopped, it would be time for them to move out and devour the survivors one by one.

…

Tatatat~!

The gunfire from afar attracted Aluka and Cpt’s attention.

They looked at the teams who had also escaped the circle from Water Town but for whatever reason, decided to blindly enter the safe zone. The teams had ‘evaporated’ from existence amid the sounds of gunfire.

They gulped hard.

“The firepower of those people is too vicious!”

“Luckily we took the long way in. Otherwise, we’d all be dead meat!”

“Let’s heal up before anything else.”

Their detour had caused them to lose quite a bit of health when the blue circle closed in on them while they were still on the run. Their health bars were at one-third of their maximum.

After they had patched themselves up, they wanted to get up from their prone positions. However, before they had the time to even survey the terrain, they heard the rumbling sound of an engine come from behind them!

The next moment, a hard top jeep entered the circle diagonally.

The three players were prone as they were healing themselves earlier. Hence, they blended perfectly with the grass on the slope.

 The riders on the jeep proved once again that “Vision is not required in competitive esports”, and drove straight at Liu Zilang and the others.

At that instant, the three players in the grass were momentarily stunned.

‘Are they trying to run us over?’

The two players of Savage who were on the jeep parked their vehicle. They realized that they had avoided the ongoing disaster at the western half of the play area, and they let out a long sigh of relief.

This team from Oceania pulled out their health items and healed themselves while being serenaded by the intense gunshots that were heard from not too far away. They counted their lucky stars, and at the same time gave a “Like” to their wits!

However, the next moment, they saw three players stand up from the grass. They were dumbfounded!

‘Are you f*cken kidding me, mate?’

The two players were halfway through healing themselves when they had to swap to their guns frantically. However, how could they have swapped to their guns in time?

Tut tut tut~!

Tatatat~!

A round of point-blank, one-sided fire took away the lives of the two ‘lost sheep’ in the blink of an eye.

As the caster’s camera captured this scene, the commentators on the platform looked at each other.

“Ahem… that was a sudden windfall for 4AM. They were just sitting at home minding their own business.”

“To be frank, if this wasn’t an actual live offline tournament, I would’ve thought that those Savage players were paid actors.”

“Haha, ‘actors’ might be pushing it. It just so happens that the two teams had the same idea on how to tackle entering the circle.”

In the game, Liu Zilang and the others gladly helped themselves to the two free crates.

The caster’s camera shifted over to Ruins.

At that time, a solitary silhouette, carrying a big inky-green sniper, came into the safe zone from Ruins.

He had less than one-third of his health bar left.

That person was unquestionably Shen Zeyan.

Immediately after, several kill notifications of players dying to the circle appeared on the screen.

They were the players from Knights and Gates.

Shen Zeyan had singlehandedly stalled two teams to their deaths in Ruins by using the brute force of the AWM!

Upon witnessing this scene, the live audience roared with uncontrollable excitement!

“Hiss! Is he Wolves?”

“Oh my god! I can see why he’s known as the Sniper God!”

At this time, reclining lazily on his seat in the VIP area, Gao Yunyang laughed lightly when he saw the scene. “Master Ze is really cool! Unlike that kid who only pretends to be cool,” he spoke to himself.

On his seat, his hands were stuck in the waistband of his pants while his legs were spread wide. They were stretched out in front of him.

He raised his head to look at the round dome on top of Colt Arena.

He could vaguely see, on top of him, a shower of golden rain.

…

On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.

“Alright! This circle is now complete. It looks like the second half of the match will happen in the hilly area between Widow Village and Water Town.”

“Indeed. There’s still a chaotic battle going on in the left half of the circle, and there are only 9 teams and 26 players left on the battlefield.”

“Oh! Another player from team Gold has been knocked out. However, he has been revived, and so the number of contenders hasn’t decreased.”

“Let’s take a look at the third-last circle of the match. It’s not a tangential circle. Instead, it covers the upper right quarter of the previous circle. It looks like team Faze are the only ones inside the circle.”

“Speaking of that, these circles have been very friendly toward SKK. As kings of the hill of Widow Village, they completely cleared out everyone that posed a threat. Hence, they can now move easily into the next circle.”

“Almost completely you mean, haha, I think you might have forgotten about someone.”

“Oh, right, there’s still Guru Qiu! He has been subjected to all sorts of hardship in this match. However, he’s still survived up until this point. I think this is the first time Se7en has squeezed into the top ten.”

“That’s right, and we wish Guru Qiu all the best. It would be nice if their ranking could go a little higher.”

“He really needs to grasp the correct timing to enter the new circle. Too early, and he’ll be discovered by SKK. Too late, and he bears the risk of dying to circle damage.”

“On the other hand, 4AM’s performance in this match has been stellar. The problem now is that their way into the circle is being blocked by two separate teams. This might pose as a difficult challenge to them.”

On the tournament screen, Gold and Windfall were seen positioned on both sides of the road that led to the safe zone. It was like a snare set by a hunter.

Under such circumstances, if 4AM were to enter the play area immediately, they would encounter a pincer attack by those two teams.

However, if they entered the play area slowly, the two teams would be able to save themselves first and stall them outside of the circle.

This situation proved to be a dilemma for the players of 4AM.

Ten or so seconds passed and there was only a little more than a minute left on the countdown timer.

4AM needed to make a decision fast.

Liu Zilang saw the two sides of the slope that were filled with silhouettes of people. He took in a deep breath and then narrowed his eyes as he smiled.

“Let me attract their attention, while the rest of you go around the edge and into the circle. Any questions?”
