It was undeniable that the increase in points only belonged to the other team members of these two countries.
Thankfully the screen showed the images in real-time, so very quickly, the reason was found and revealed on the screen.
It was indeed Yin Ruoyi and Cruff who had obtained those points.
No idea if it was a coincidence or if these two were old enemies.
At night, these two people and teammates bumped into each other!
It was at a spot near the center point, some distance opposite Gu Qingjiu.
At the time, they had heard the sounds of crossfire taking place beside. Due to the fast and frequent fire shots, neither chose to go near abruptly, even if it was Cruff and Yin Ruoyi.
Yin Ruoyi ran into his teammate, and unexpectedly Cruff ran into his teammate as well.
Because…
Although there wasn’t any way to distinguish during the competition, there was another way to determine.
That was, if you shot your teammate, your teammate wouldn’t be eliminated.
Instantly one would know if the other party was their own teammate or not.
It was under such circumstances that Yin Ruoyi shot his teammate from China. And when no announcement of elimination was made, both parties understood each other’s identities.
After which, they speedily got near. And it was at this time that Cruff suddenly jumped out.
It wasn’t an exciting match, but the aim was scary.
A bullet hit the Chinese teammate in his heart as he moved closer to Yin Ruoyi and suffered the bitter fate of elimination.
With his lightning reflexes, Yin Ruoyi speedily attacked Cruff.
Although Cruff tried to dodge it, they had no idea if it was because his US teammate was unlucky. That fellow happened to be some distance right behind Cruff.
Even though he was quite some distance away, Yin Ruoyi’s shot missed Cruff but directly hit that US teammate who was stealthily hiding behind.
He was struck in the forehead and, likewise, suffered the bitter fate of being eliminated.
This US teammate was probably cussing in his heart.
Both Cruff and Yin Ruoyi were shocked to see that the latter managed to hit someone.
Following that, both parties speedily retreated.
It was, after all, dark at night. Even Cruff couldn’t be sure no accidents would occur under such circumstances.
The China teammate signaled a hand gesture to Yin Ruoyi. Seeing that the other party wasn’t Gu Qingjiu, Yin Ruoyi even heaved a sigh of relief.
He felt that nothing must happen to Gu Qingjiu in this match.
Unbeknownst to him, Cruff was also feeling incredibly gloomy at the moment.
He had no idea that the eliminated player was someone from his team until this point because that person didn’t have any individual points. Hence there was no change to the US team’s points.
He only knew that the international judge panel notified them that the US team was still ranked second.
Second!
This result made Cruff’s countenance turn extremely dark.
To think that after he single-handedly obtained five points, his team still ranked second.
Fourteen points. Then who was ranked first?
Could it be the China team?
Then how many points difference was there between their teams exactly?
He had an indistinct bad premonition, yet there was no room for him to think too much about this under such circumstances.
He mustn’t lose this competition. Winning was the only acceptable outcome for him.
After all, this was going to be his last match.
He must have a perfect result before retiring, after which he would enter the world-class coaching profession with no blemish in his track record.
How glamorous would his future be?
But once he lost…
No, that was impossible!
Cruff snuffed out this thought.
The only uncertain factor in this competition was not knowing which country an eliminated player came from unless it was during the daytime when they had excellent vision.
Also, the players had no idea which countries were ranked above theirs.
Hence the battle was full of changes.
But Cruff could sense that the person he encountered earlier was Yin Ruoyi.
That little rascal who very nearly won in the previous competition.
Hmph.
In the dark darkness, Cruff’s lips arched in a cold smirk.
