The other teams in the smokescreen were shocked when they saw the kill notification. All of them had heard the crisp clank of a pan.
Of course, as experienced professional players, they knew that he could not have thrown the grenade toward himself.
Even though they did not see what had actually transpired, they managed to form a scene in their minds.
That person was an ace goalkeeper!
After realizing this, the players near the guard tower who were preparing to throw grenades quickly stowed them away out of respect for the ace goalkeeper.
After Misaka Mikoto had smacked away the grenade, only four teams and seven players were left on the battlefield.
Four of whom were in the guard tower, while three of them were outside.
One of the teams outside comprised of Shroud and Chocotaco. Shroud had died earlier, and only Chocotaco was left.
The other team was made up of Ubah from team Navi and a female Russian streamer.
With thirty-odd seconds left on the countdown timer, the teams realized that they could not dawdle anymore.
Ubah and the Russian female streamer were the first to make a move. Two of them made their way through the smokescreen and arrived at the front entrance of the guard tower.
Ubah did not open the door. Instead, he lifted the AK in his hands and sprayed at it!
Swish swish swish~!
In an instant, wooden splinters and shards flew from a certain point on the door.
After a while, a hole formed.
“Oh! The Navi player wants to throw a grenade!” the commentators exclaimed!
As predicted, while Ubah was shooting at the door, the Russian stream Ferlyn swapped to a frag grenade and began cooking it.
However, how the scene unfolded was unlike everyone’s expectations.
Right after the hole had been formed, before Ferlyn could throw the grenade, something flew out from the pitch-black hole…
Frag grenade?
No!
It was a stun grenade!
By the time Ubah and Ferlyn had realized what it was, their field of vision was obscured in white.
“Oh! What about my grenade?” the Russian girl had been taken by surprise.
Throwing a frag grenade when one could not see was an unwise decision. The grenade could ricochet off a wall and kill oneself.
The moment Ubah was blinded, he relied on his memory to shoot at the hole in the door to suppress the enemy.
“Just throw it somewhere far away!” Ubah said urgently.
Ferlyn heard him and recalled that she had already drawn an arc with the grenade. She randomly turned toward another direction and threw it!
Chocotaco was lying prone nearby when the two Navi players were storming the building. She had heard the gunfire and made a decision.
‘This is my chance!’
Chocotaco swiftly got up and was about to dash forward.
However, just after he had got up, something flew toward his direction from afar.
That thing hit him on his head.
‘What’s this?’
Just as that thought surfaced in his mind, a ball of fire appeared next to his head!
Boom!
A deafening explosion ensued!
As though he had been struck by lightning, he fell down just as quickly as he had got up.
This time, however, he stayed down.
“Ferlyn killed Chocotaco with frag grenade!”
The live stream viewers were stunned momentarily when they saw the abrupt scene, after which they erupted in laughter!
“Pft! Frag grenade headshot! A lot of attention put into detail!”
“Hahaha, that grenade must have been sentient!”
“I feel sorry for Chocotaco, he was just lying there minding his own business.”
“If we hadn’t seen the Russian girl getting blinded, I might have thought she did it on purpose.”
“…”
In the game, the Russian girl Ferlyn had not expected her random throw to get rid of one of the problems behind her.
Even so, the bigger problem was in front of them.
Her teammate Ubah’s suppressing fire was powerful, and their opponent was not able to peek their heads out of the hole in the door.
However, the AK’s rate of fire was very fast!
Ubah held onto his left mouse button without letting go. Hence, he emptied an entire clip of the AK in the blink of an eye!
“Quick! Take over!”
Ubah shouted into his team voice chat as he quickly dodged to the side and reloaded his gun.
Ferlyn lifted her gun!
However, she was still slower than Vivian who had been hiding behind the door, waiting for her chance.
Tut tut tut~!
Vivian was half-crouched behind the door, and a pitch-black muzzle appeared from behind it.
Bullets whizzed across the air!
Next, a few thuds were heard coming from Ferlyn’s body. Clouds of blood appeared as well!
She had only pulled out her gun when her knees grew weak and she fell to the ground kneeling.
While Vivian retaliated, Liu Zilang who was keeping watch on the second floor heard the gunfire from beneath his feet. He took a look at the number of survivors on the top right corner of his screen and then immediately made a move.
Wielding an M16 in his hands, he opened a door and exited it in great strides!
“Ah, Shifu, wait for me!”
Misaka Mikoto had been taken by surprise by the sudden turn of events. In haste, she gave chase to her master; she was still wielding a pan.
There was a spiral staircase between the second and ground floor of the guard tower.
After opening the door, Liu Zilang took another stride and leaped into the air. He did it as fast as lightning!
Meanwhile, Vivian who was on the ground had knocked out Ferlyn. Hence, she rode on the momentum and rushed out of the door to kill Ubah.
Ubah had regained his vision even though his ears were still ringing.
He was not going to sit there and die when he saw Vivian rushing toward him!
He had just finished reloading. His body heaved, and he shot his AK from the hip!
Greeting marksmanship!
However, Vivian did the same thing after rushing out the door!
It made sense for her to do so.
In a confrontation at such a close distance, movement techniques were equally important as marksmanship. Rather than scoping in to shoot, it was more versatile to shoot from the hip and move around.
Tut tut tut~!
Tatatat~!
In the blink of an eye, their health levels took a steep dive!
However, as they were greeting each other, an aggressive flurry of gunshots was heard coming from the top of their heads!
Tat tat tat~!
The three shots Liu Zilang’s speedy fingers had fired seemed like he was shooting in fully-automatic mode.
Like a Thunderous Crescent Blade, bullets flew out of Liu Zilang’s gun.
Ubah and Vivian realized something was amiss when they heard the gunfire from above.
‘There’s someone on top of us!’
Standing on the edge of life and death, both of them made the same decision. They lifted their crosshairs toward the sky and became anti-air turrets!
Unfortunately, their health levels were already low.
Liu Zilang’s crosshair drew an arc across the ground and killed both of them in an instant!
However, before the of them died, they took out a good chunk of Liu Zilang’s health.
Liu Zilang’s feet touched the ground.
His hands propped him up. At this instant, bullets came flying from somewhere near the front entrance.
Evidently, it was Vivian’s teammate.
Liu Zilang could not dodge the bullets in time and fell head-first to the ground.
“Come, my silly disciple!” Liu Zilang roared as he fell.
“Shifu, I’m coming!”
Liu Zilang, kneeling on the floor, raised his head. He could only watch with his jaw agape as Misaka Mikoto jumped from the second floor with a pan in her hands!
‘What… the f*ck are you doing?’
…
