Book 6: Chapter 67:2: King Arthur: Excalibur! Part 2
Chen Heng switched his M762 for an AWM and took the lead, dashing up to the rooftop. Medusa followed close behind him.
Once they reached the rooftop and opened the doorthey met with a surprise.
Bang! Bang! Two shots from an S686 shotgun sent Chen Heng sprawling on the floor. He was left bewildered. He crawled back into the attic while the player with the shotgun began reloading, crouched and ready to pursue.
As the player was reloading the shotgun, Medusa rushed out, wielding her M416. She didnt give her opponent a chance to finish reloading and turned him into a crate.
Score: 23:20

Whats going on? Jeanne dArc had arrived by now and saw Chen Heng on the ground and Medusa changing her magazine.
Lets not worry about it for now. Resuscitate me first.

After Chen Heng was helped up, he decided against staying on the rooftop and descended to the lower floor.
I really didnt expect it. As soon as I opened the door, there was a player crouched in front of it with an S686 aimed at me. You know how powerful shotguns are; two shots, and I was down, Chen Heng explained, addressing the people gathered around him while treating himself with various medical supplies.
When did that guy upstairs start crouching there?
Youre asking me? I was going to ask you the same. Jeanne dArc, didnt you check the rooftop when you were looting?
Is this my fault? Usually, theres not much good loot on the rooftop, so I didnt bother going up. Who would have thought someone would be lying there?
Its not really your fault, but luckily, I called Medusa to come up with me. Otherwise, you guys wouldnt have made it in time, and that player with the shotgun would have killed me, Chen Heng said, still shaken. He then turned to Medusa, who was now aiming a sniper rifle in the direction of R City. Thanks again, Medusa.
Dont mention it. Were teammates; its what I should do, Medusa replied coldly and fell silent.
The current situation was that the game was about to enter the final circle. The scores for the red and black sides were tied, with only three teams remaining: the black side, the red side, and an unknown three-player team. Well, it should be said that there were four teams because Ryougi Shiki was playing solo, while Chen Heng and Jeanne dArc were a duo.
At this point, Chen Hengs team couldnt be considered safe yet.
First place: 20 points.
Second place: 15 points.
Third place: 12 points.
Fourth place: 10 points.
If the red side won the battle royale and killed all the remaining players, they could still secure victory.
[Author Note: The red side and the black side receive double points if they eliminate people from the opposing side rather than players.]
Excalibur! Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!
Using the mirror shard, Chen Heng observed King Arthur upstairs spraying wildly with an AK, which gave him quite a headache.
It wasnt the AK spray itself that was frightening but King Arthurs unnaturally high accuracy, which made Chen Hengs teammates hesitant to expose themselves. Using grenades was risky because the sound of removing the safety pin was exceptionally loud and could be easily heard by the enemy, leading to them changing positions.
Furthermore, while King Arthur was in the open, Gilgamesh was concealed. Gilgameshs sniping was also extremely precise.
In this game, becoming proficient with firearms was quite straightforward, thanks to AI assistance. If you had fast dynamic vision and reaction speed, you could easily become a skilled player. At least within a range of 200 meters, factors like wind speed and bullet drop werent even worth considering.
Now, the last breakthrough opportunity lay with the third team, apart from the red and black sides. If Chen Hengs side eliminated this third team, the red side would be at a severe disadvantage. Elimination points would add three to their score, and then there were the ranking points for second and third place, resulting in a total of 30 points. Even if the black side were wiped out by the red side, the black side could still win.
However, if the red side took down the third team, the red side would have a chance to turn things around.
Shiki, it is all up to you this time. Chen Heng placed both hands on Ryougi Shikis shoulders and patted them.
He didnt believe that Ryougi Shiki didnt have some tricks up her sleeve. He had a strong suspicion that Root had been continuously providing herself with various cheats, at least in the first three rounds.
