Chapter 738: Chicken Dinner on the Cliff! (Part 2)
On the seaside cliff.
In the second-last circle, Liu Zilang found a camping spot behind a boulder next to the cliff.
There, he was guarded against opponents from his right and his back. With the boulder in front of him and the cliff on his left, no one could get close to him.
He wielded the MK14 he had looted from Karl in his hands. On the other hand, on his back was an exaggeratedly big crossbow. He had thrown away his M16.
The MK14 was fully automatic. Not only did it have superior firepower compared to the M16, but its bullet speed and firing rate were also not that much slower. Hence, this superior gun was an obvious choice for him.
As for why he still carried the crossbow, the element of stealth was important in the final circles of a solo match. The key to winning was to kill people without anyone else noticing.
The crossbow’s strengths shone in such moments.
Of course, the prerequisite was that one’s aim had to be accurate.
Liu Zilang was among the few players who used crossbows. He was undoubtedly one of the better players who understood the physics in shooting with a crossbow.
Also, something else had to be mentioned.
The crossbow was essential in his journey thus far from the third circle. Unfortunately, the supply of bolts in his inventory was running low.
Other than Liu Zilang, no one else carried a crossbow in the middle to late stages of the match.
Hence, he was not able to replenish his supply of crossbow bolts through looting. There was no mechanism in the game where he could pull out crossbow bolts that had been shot from his targets’ corpses either.
That meant his supply of crossbow bolts would only continue to dwindle. Like the Magnum bullets of an AWM, crossbow bolts were like a special type of consumable that could only be replenished through special means.
On the commentary platform.
“We can see that there are only sixteen players left on the field. This circle is somewhat out of everyone’s expectations. Nobody would have guessed that it would refresh to the cliff.”
“Yup. About half of the players are still outside the safe zone. With only fifteen seconds left on the countdown timer, the people still outside the safe zone need to plan their escape routes as soon as possible.”
“Oh, someone is driving a vehicle!’
“It’s Ubah. Still driving in the final circles of the match? What’s this macho man from Navi planning?”
“He has already ignited the engine! Wait! It looks like Ubah is heading toward Vic’s direction!”
Ubah had the same thought as Liu Zilang. After all, elite players usually had the same idea.
He had spotted Liu Zilang’s camping spot, that was why he was recklessly headed toward it as a gamble.
Behind the boulder next to the cliff.
Liu Zilang turned to look in the direction of the engine sounds that were growing louder and louder. He was immediately stunned.
‘There’s so much space on this cliff!
‘Why not you go somewhere else?’
However, seeing how the jeep was headed straight at him, he knew that the only method of negotiation was to assert dominance with his gun and scare off his opponent with gunfire.
Tatatat~!
Liu Zilang scoped in with his 8x scope and aimed his crosshair to deliver a wave of suppressing fire.
Liu Zilang was not the only one who was shooting.
In the final circles of a match, one would quickly become the center of attention if one was driving a vehicle.
Clink clank clunk!
Splat!
Bullet rained on the chassis of the jeep, emitting a blood-curdling sound.
A stray bullet hit Ubah’s body. A cloud of blood spurted as the bullet took out a small chunk of his health.
Ubah gritted his teeth and looked straight ahead, emitting an aura of determination.
The lesser of the two evils!
Rather than staying put on the spot and be shot at even further, it was better for him to continue toward his destination.
Life and death are left to fate!
‘I’m going for it!’
Ubah, a player from the ‘warring clan’, was full of fighting spirit.
Of course, he might have changed his mind if he knew the identity of the player directly in front of him.
Nevertheless, ignorance is bliss.
The headlong mad dash made by Ubah had caused Liu Zilang to be flustered.
He had not expected his opponent to survive under concentrated fire by a combination of brute force and ‘snake-dancing’. Moreover, he had not expected him to still head toward him.
The shortcomings of the MK14 were fully exposed in this scenario.
That was, the magazine size of the MK 14 was too small.
Even with an extended mag, its magazine only held twenty bullets.
A person could be killed with two or three bullets.
However, against a ‘snake-dancing’ jeep, with full automatic burst fire, its magazine would be emptied in the blink of an eye just by the player holding down the left mouse button.
Ubah’s jeep began to close in on Liu Zilang. Ubah saw that the person in front of him had just emptied his clip, and his eyes shone!
‘Whoever stands in my way…
‘Dies!’
On the big screen of the tournament.
The jeep was seen driving at full speed as it left a trail of black smoke. It seemed like an unstoppable force that was going to transform into a bulldozer to run over Liu Zilang.
“Wow! Are all people from the warring clan this fierce?”
“Vic is out of bullets. There’s no time to reload!”
“Oh my! He has pulled out his revolver. Is it McCree’s turn to shine now?”
“At that distance… Why do I think that Vic will be sent flying anyway even if he manages to kill the driver?”
There were only less than ten meters between the two players. At the max speed of 120 kilometers an hour, the distance could be covered in the blink of an eye.
By pulling out his revolver, Liu Zilang seemed like he was prepared to die along with the jeep’s driver.
On the edge of life and death…
Liu Zilang did not fire his gun. Instead, he turned around and then ran toward the cliff behind him.
In the jeep, Ubah’s lips curled into a wicked smile.
‘Is there time?’
Of course there was not enough time.
Before Liu Zilang could take more than two steps, the jeep behind him touched his butt.
Right at that time, Liu Zilang performed an unexpected maneuver.
His body leaned forward and he laid prone on the ground.
The two forward steps he had taken had brought him over a small boulder that was jutting out of the ground.
The jeep’s wheels ran into the small boulder. It tilted upward before it flew into the air!
One went down, the other went up.
Just like that, the two people missed each other by millimeters in just the nick of time!
Not only that, but the jeep was at full speed.
If the vehicle had not flown into the air, Ubah could have skidded and then braked at the edge of the cliff. However, since the jeep’s wheels had left the ground, there was no ground to grip on…
‘What the chihuahua, how am I going to brake like this?’
The jeep ran past the edge of the cliff!
‘This isn’t my dream car!’
Ubah could only close his eyes and pray for fate to intervene. He prayed that his jeep would land in the sea so that he could survive with a sliver of health left.
If he jumped off the jeep, he would definitely die!
Meanwhile, on the commentary platform, Lord Rong sucked in a mouthful of cold aid as he witnessed the extreme stunt.
“Vic… made use of the surrounding terrain? That’s just pure genius!”
After he had finished speaking, a loud boom was heard in the match!
Two kill notifications appeared on the top right corner of the screen. Both of them started with ‘4AM-Vic’.
Wait!
How are there two notifications?
