Chapter 616 - Temptation of the Wolf!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a flash, the four players of IG made their decision!

Their car skidded and slammed into the boulder in front of them. Then, the four players exited the car one after another.

Since they had bumped into each other face to face, they might as well fight!

“IG has dismounted from their vehicle. It looks like they want to break through C9’s barricade using brute force!”

“That’s right! What a resolute decision made by IG! That’s a Hua Xia team for you!”

“In this attack, IG is starting their assault with a triangular formation. Cocoa is in the lead while CuoJue and XiaoJue are sweeping in the flank. Lastly, Master Ze is providing covering fire from the back.”

“Oh! It seems like C9 was not expecting IG to rush up to them like that, and Chappie is the first one to be knocked out!”

Tut tut tut~!

Tatatat~!

The muzzles of the guns spat sparks of fire as bullets flew across the battlefield, illuminating the faces of everyone within the vicinity.

In a short span of time, people started falling left and right in the firefight in Ruins.

“IG-Kitties knocked out C9-Chappie with S686!”

“C9-Moody knocked out IG-CuoJue with AKM!”

“IG-XuaiJue knocked out C9-Frolicer with M16!”

“…”

“IG-Wolves killed C9-Shroud with M416!”

The conclusion of the battle was when Shen Zeyan used his M4 with an 8x scope to kill Shroud. Shroud’s team had been scattered by IG’s triangular formation attack, and when he died, the gunfire on the battlefield suddenly ceased!

However, all around the arena, the audience cheered in waves!

The commentators on Hua Xia’s platform also roared with joy!

“Nicely done! IG has eliminated C9 with that frontal assault!”

“I have to say that XiaoJue’s preamptive strike was incredibly fast, and he managed to knock out one of C9’s players. Unfortunately for him, his kill was taken by a follow-up shot.”

“That was a spectacular performance by team IG. However, other than Master Ze at the back, the other three IG players are now knocked out after that exchange. Do you think that there’s a chance for them to be revived?”

“Wait a second… Team Knights… the four players of team Knights are closing in from the back! It looks like they want to clean up the leftovers!”

“Oh, if Master Ze wants to revive his teammates, he might only have enough time to rescue one of them before team Knights arrive and reduce him to ashes!”

“What will IG’s choice be this time? I think it’s time for them to cut their losses!”

“Oh, Master Ze is running over… has he decided to rescue his teammates? That… doesn’t seem like a rational choice!”

The tone of the three commentators on the Hua Xia platform was anxious as they watched Shen Zeyan’s actions.

Although they were supposed to be impartial, they were still commentators of the Hua Xia region. Thus, they had the privilege to commentate based on the viewpoint of Hua Xia’s teams.

They all thought that under such a situation, Shen Zeyan was being too subjective when he decided to rescue his teammate. He did not have the resolution of a strong player.

However, the next moment left everyone stunned!

On the caster’s camera, Shen Zeyan was seen rushing toward his teammates. However, he did not revive them but instead ran toward the crate that Shroud had left behind when he died.

With lightning reflexes, he swapped the AWM in the crate with the Kar98K in his hands.

Then, without a hint of hesitation, he turned his body around and dove into Ruins that was to his right.

When the four players of Knights arrived in a spread-out formation, they only saw Shen Zeyan’s silhouette disappear behind the ruins.

Tut tut tut~!

A volley of bullets flew his way and drilled themselves harmlessly into a wall. The four players of Knights saw this and gave chase.

However, the geography of Ruins was full of bends and the ground was full of bushes and vegetation. At times, one can easily lose themselves in the complicated terrain.

Since Shen Zeyan entered the ruins first as a long wolf, it was very hard for Knights to pick up his trail.

Moreover, there was another team that had a foothold in Ruins.

Deep in the area, Knights had not yet managed to find Shen Zeyan when they bumped into the European team Gates.

In a flash, the sound of gunfire was heard from Ruins!

However, the caster did not immediately point his camera at the fight between Knights and Gates. Instead, he pointed it at a bush that was behind a wall somewhere in Ruins.

This was because there was someone quietly hiding inside it. That person was discreetly loading bullets into the inky-green AWM he held in his hands.

“Ahem… it looks like Master Ze wasn’t interested in fighting after all.”

“Yup. Well, it would have been a waste to not pick up that AWM. However, things don’t look good for IG. There’s only Master Ze left.”

“Wait a minute… Master Ze isn’t leaving while Knights and Gates are fighting. I don’t suppose he has any other ideas?”

“Um… Knowing Master Ze, I wouldn’t say that he doesn’t have any ideas.”

“Revenge is never too late! Calm down, Master Ze!”

The area was strewn with obstacles of all shapes and sizes.

The two teams, Knights and Gates did not have a direct life-and-death confrontation unlike C9 and IG.

After the exchange of a round of fire, the two teams kept a ‘respectable’ distance between each other.

That meant that Shen Zeyan who was hiding in the bushes could not act rashly.

His usual stoic face was as expressionless as ever, displaying a superhuman level of patience.

The caster might have thought that there was nothing interesting going on and therefore pulled the camera back to display God’s perspective over the entire map.

On the map, there were 16 teams and 56 players remaining. The icons of many teams were seen moving slowly on the map.

Just as how the commentators had predicted, many teams had chose to set up camp in the hilly areas between Widow Village and Water Town.

For whatever reason a team entered the safe zone late, they could only find reverse slopes to use as cover.

It has been said that hilly areas make the perfect hiding spot. However, that is only true when not many teams are in the area.

In this case, there were four or five teams in the area. You might encounter another team north of the reverse slope and escape southward… only to bump into another team.

In such a situation, several teams could only survive by throwing smoke grenades.

However… what would happen when the smoke grenades ran out?

No one had a definite answer.

They could only plan out their next step.

Come to think of it, Liu Zilang and the others who were at the top of the metal tower near Water Town, were one of the main culprits of this situation.

The three of them had guns with silencers and high-magnification scopes. Hence, they let themselves loose toward the hilly area. Especially Liu Zilang who had an MK14 equipped with a x15 scope, it was like he had a telescope. He could see everyone clearly within the area.

With that kind of distance between them and the other teams, the teams in the hilly areas could only see the bullets flying toward them. They could not discern where they came from.

In addition to that, there were enemies all around them. Their situations could only be described as dire.

At this time, the caster seemed to have discovered something interesting and shifted the camera elsewhere.

On the tournament’s big screen, among tall grass on a hill not far away from SKK’s location, two people were seen prone on the hill.

One was a lone wolf.

The other was also a lone wolf.

The camera zoomed in closer.

They were Li Muqiu and Aimpr of TSM!
