On the cliff, Li Muqiu heard the sounds of a speedboat’s engine. He saw the familiar silhouette coming from afar, and his eyes burned with a fiery passion.
“They’re coming! They’re coming!”
‘This time! I’ll let you know the true meaning of cruelty!’
On the sea, Liu Zilang told Misaka Mikoto, “Don’t fire unless I tell you to, understand?”
“Ah?” Misaka Mikoto was eager to try out her new MK14. “Why, Shifu?” she asked confusedly.
“Because… ahem… they’re on our side,” Liu Zilang explained it rather awkwardly, “Do you hear the gunshots?”
Misaka Mikoto tilted her head and listened intently. She immediately understood and said conspiratorially, “I know! That’s the secret code! Shifu, you taught me before. Three long, two short, nine quick, one slow, right?”
Her eyes shone with admiration as she exclaimed, “Shifu, you’re such a cunning old rat!”
“…” Liu Zilang’s face darkened.
The two of them jumped off the boat.
Misaka Mikoto sneaked a peek with her gun’s scope, preparing to greet the people who were on their side.
Meanwhile, Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang who were on the cliff were becoming impatient as they observed their prey heading toward them.
“So what now? Is it finally a good time?”
“Let’s find out which one is the kid. We’ll take him out immediately with concentrated fire without giving him a chance to react.”
“Hm, let me take a peek.”
Both of them lifted their guns and peered down the cliff.
“Which one do you think looks like him?” Gao Yunyang asked.
“Do you need to ask?” Li Muqiu’s eyes shone with rays of wisdom. “Do you see the one in the ghillie suit?”
“That’s him?”
“No, I’m saying it’s the one next to the ghillie suit.”
“Right! The one wielding the MK14!” Li Muqiu smiled with self-appreciation as he said confidently, “We all know that he’s an MK14 freak, so it has to be him! It can’t be wrong!”
“Are you sure?”
“Never been more!”
Gao Yunyang did not say much, seeing how Li Muqiu was so confident.
Both of them lifted their guns and stuck out their bodies over the cliff. Then, they aimed at the person wielding the MK14!
Under the seaside cliff, Misaka Mikoto tilted her head upward as she walked.
She saw two silhouettes appear at the edge of the cliff and became excited. She wanted to shout out a greeting to them!
She was taken aback a little when she saw them lift their guns. However, she immediately recovered and happily told Liu Zilang, “Shifu, Shifu! Looks like they’re gree-”
Bang bang bang!
Tut tut tut!
Before she had finished her sentence, gunfire erupted from above her!
Thud!
Thud!
The sounds of bullets penetrating a helmet were heard!
Two obvious clouds of blood appeared on Misaka Mikoto’s head!
She had not managed to snap out of her reverie as she stumbled upon her feet. Then, she fell and knelt on the ground.
∑(´△｀)?!
She was on all fours and was incredibly dumbfounded. She stiffly turned her head and asked, “Shi… Shifu? Are they on our side?”
Seeing how Misaka Mikoto had fallen to the ground, Liu Zilang ‘snake-danced’ his way to hide below the cliff, avoiding the line of fire. After doing so, he tossed a smoke grenade toward her with a flick of his hand.
“They’re on our side… it can’t be wrong…” Liu Zilang smacked his lips as he said those words.
He inadvertently saw the kill notification on the top right corner of his screen. His facial expression became extremely animated after that.
“Se7en-Lech knocked out Menhera-chan by headshot with SKS!”
Li Muqiu was to a certain extent ‘on their side’. However, he was not ‘on their side’ unlike how Liu Zilang had originally thought.
Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang who were on the cliff were as equally dumbfounded.
“What’s the situation?”
“I thought you said the kid was the one with the MK14!”
“How would I know?”
“It’s alright. I don’t believe he’ll be reviving his teammate any time soon.”
“…”
In a split second, the ground was enveloped with white smoke.
However, they were not in a hurry to finish off Misaka Mikoto. If they did, Liu Zilang would head back to sea again and there would be trouble.
They planned to keep Misaka Mikoto down and Liu Zilang busy.
On the commentary platform.
“Hm… Look like Guru Qiu and Sloth have found a useful trick. Who would have expected Vic to fall for their trap.”
“Now that Menhera-chan has been knocked out, Vic is unquestionably facing the same predicament Long Shenjue was in earlier.”
“That’s right. Just a while ago, Guru Long betrayed GodV. What do you think Vic will do this time, betray Menhera-chan as well?”
“Hm… It’s not impossible, from what I know of him.”
While the commentary platform was still abuzz with discussion, the caster shifted the camera to Mylta. Two people riding in an open-top jeep were seen entering the safe zone from the west.
One of them surveyed his surroundings out of habit after exiting the vehicle. Then, his sharp eyes suddenly focused as if he had found something!
The next moment, an ink-green sniper appeared in his hands.
He scoped into his 8x scope, and two vague silhouettes standing on a high place appeared in his view.
“It’s Master Ze! Since when did Master Ze get his hands on an AWM?”
“It should be from an earlier airdrop. I remember that Guru Qiu and GodV fought over it.”
“F*ck! Master Ze has such good eyesight! Can he see, being so far away?”
“Heheh, you should know that he’s the ‘Asian Hawkeye’! Wait, if I’m not mistaken, the two silhouettes should be Guru Qiu and Sloth?”
“Haha, now things are getting interesting. It’s another reunion for the players of old Se7en.”
“But at this distance… it should be about seven to eight hundred meters? Can Master Ze hit?”
The live stream viewers became excited when they saw the caster put the camera’s focus on Master Ze. They felt as though something interesting that was straight out of a drama was about to happen.
In the match, Shen Zeyan squinted slightly after he had lifted his AWM. Without warning, he pulled the trigger!
Bang!
The gun sounded like thunder on a sunny day!
In a flash, a sniper bullet traced an arc through the sky like a rainbow!
“Ah! Big Bro Zeyan, did you spot someone?” His teammate Ke Xue was shocked!
“SE120.” Shen Zeyan’s reply was brisk.
Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang were on the cliff at that time, and they were deliberating over whether to throw a frag grenade or to split forces with one of them storming downward while the other provided cover.
Suddenly… a spark appeared on the boulder next to them. Countless rock fragments were sent flying in the air!
“F*ck! Who’s shooting at us?”
“The gunshot sounded like… it came from Mylta, where we had just been. It also sounds like an AWM.”
“Shooting at that distance? Is he mad?”
“Whatever! That guy is right under us. We’ll just give him a flying kick! I don’t believe we won’t get him this time!”
“…”
