Following that, three people from the National Military University of China were eliminated consecutively.
They gave the same answer when they came out—they were killed by an ambush.
The reason being, the duo from Haihe actually came out to show off after they hit their victims!
The eliminated players were seething with anger.
There were seventeen eliminations so far.
More than half had been eliminated.
Lu Yimei’s suspicions towards Gu Qingjiu had dissipated.
Haihe was putting up a fierce performance today. It was likely that most of the National Defense University eliminations were caused by Haihe.
Even if she believed it was Gu Qingjiu behind this, she didn’t dare to believe she had finished off so many people.
Perhaps she was hiding somewhere right now.
Just then, several gunshots sounded!
However, it was rather messy. First, it was a few gunshot sounds ringing in the air.
Then, it ended with two final gunshot sounds.
Two red dots dimmed on Commander Chen’s device.
When Commander Yang saw this, he finally flashed a smile. “Is this retribution from laying that joint ambush?”
Commander Chen raised his brows without showing many expressions. “Perhaps.”
Things were eerily quiet on the National Military University of China’s side.
Today’s situation was a rare one.
Most importantly, they were just talking about Gu Qingjiu earlier, and now this happened.
They felt a sense of unease and disbelief.
But for two people to be eliminated at the same time, it was impossible for just one person to eliminate both of them unless something just happened to benefit from being at the right place at the right time while others were fighting each other, right?
It was not like the Haihe Military University was easy to deal with.
They waited for quite a while, and those two people had yet to come down. They were probably somewhere rather far away.
Another gunshot sounded. One more elimination from the Haihe Military University.
“It’s goddamn spooky today. With every gunshot sound, one person is eliminated!”
Commander Yang finally couldn’t hold himself back from using profanities.
“Stay calm. I have three consecutive eliminations here and I’m not even anxious.”
Commander Chen, on the other hand, appeared calm and steady.
Even though their school had the same number of eliminated players as the National Military University of China.
If things remained this way, they would determine the winner by the number of players the surviving members managed to eliminate.
Just then, the duo from Haihe Military University finally came back.
There was shock and disbelief on their faces.
The minute they came over, Commander Chen asked, “Were you two ambushing others just now?”
The two of them exchanged a glance, then smiled bitterly at the same time. “Yes, Commander Chen. But we didn’t expect that someone would eliminate us just like that.”
They then recounted what had happened earlier.
So it turned out that the two Haihe Military University had happened to bump into each other. After firing a shot, they realized that they were from the same team. Hence, they happily decided to cooperate with each other.
They also sensed that something wasn’t quite right because the gunshot sounded too close to them, making them deduce that others were going about in groups just like them.
Thus, they decided to go around in pairs to deal with others.
Using this method, they’d successfully finished off a few people before retribution befell them.
In the extremely quiet forest, the two of them were laying an ambush in the dark. When suddenly, a person suddenly appeared from afar.
Unlike how others would move about cautiously, an opponent appeared all of a sudden and was walking over in a not-so-careful manner.
But when that person reached a spot not far away from them, that person abruptly stopped.
At that time, they were planning to finish off that person with one shot, just like how they usually did it.
But unexpectedly, the instant they fired a shot, that other party dodged and jumped to the bush on one side.
Between the two of them, only one fired a shot. This was so that if the first one missed, the other guy can immediately follow up with a second shot.
That person’s response speed stunned them.
