Book 6: Chapter 66:1: Heads Delivered from Afar, Part 2
Black:Red 20:16
With this elimination, Chen Hengs team gained four points. However, the opposing red side was also formidable, having already eliminated five players in a short time, securing five points. The score was getting dangerously close, and Chen Heng wondered who these formidable opponents were.
Perhaps due to their aggressive play style, the red side lost another member, leaving them with only three members. Did they land in P City or the harbor?
Pushing these thoughts aside, Chen Heng took out a smoke grenade and threw it onto the crate of the player he had killed in close combat. Once the smoke started billowing, he darted into the smokescreen to loot.
Chen Heng was cautious for a good reason. The intense firefight earlier could have attracted other players looking to intervene. He wanted to avoid being ambushed at all costs.
I took their AWM. I had an M24 earlier; does anyone want it? After swapping his M24 sniper rifle for the AWM, Chen Heng relayed this message through Jeanne dArc since he and Medusa were not in the same team.
Medusa said she wants it.
Alright, tell her to come over and take it.
Afterward, Chen Heng continued to inspect the loot in the crate. The level 3 helmet had lost 2/5 durability from Chen Hengs shot and had an additional decrease from the follow-up bursts, making it weaker than the one he was wearing, so he decided against taking it.
He merely restocked his supplies and ammo before running back into the building.
Inside the building, Chen Heng noticed that his teammates had all left to loot the crates. He didnt mind, instead focusing on loading his AWM with bullets.
Fortunately, the AWM was already fully equipped because of the previous owner. Furthermore, there was even a suppressor.
The AWM itself packed enough punch to blow through a level 3 helmet with a single shot and instantly take down the enemy. Thus, equipping compensators and such was not of much use. However, attaching a suppressor was more advantageous for the snipers stealth.
Two minutes later, after everyone had finished looting their kills, they all gathered in the original small house.
Lets head to the dormitory building.
Sure, sounds good.
After six minutes of sprinting, Chen Heng and his team reached the dormitory building. The second poison circle had just closed, and the third poison circle had appeared. This third poison circle was centered on the dormitory building.
At this point, only 25 players remained on the battlefield.
After concealing their vehicle as best they could, Chen Heng and his team entered the building located in the southwestern corner of the map.
This particular building was the tallest among the dormitory buildings, offering excellent cover and a wide field of view.
Lets take a moment to get ready here. The dormitory buildings will likely be inside the final circle.
Taking some time is fine, but the red side is catching up to our score. Theyre only four points behind. If we stay here, we might be overtaken in points, said Eresh-chan, voicing her concern while looking at the points tally.
Eresh-chan, dont worry about that. We still have five players, which is essentially two teams. According to the system information, the red side is down to just three players now, and all from a single team. This game is point-based, and ranking points hold more weight than kills. Their second team was eliminated when there were still over 40 players remaining, meaning they currently rank outside the top eight. Teams ranking outside the top eight dont receive ranking points, so we still have a significant advantage.
Is that so?
Yes, and if everything goes as expected, the dormitory buildings will be within the final circle. We have the terrain advantage here. When other players converge on this location, we can just wait and ambush I hear a vehicle! Chen Heng interrupted himself, as he heard a vehicle nearby. The minimap also displayed the location of the vehicles sound, coming from the west, which was the direction of the school.
Chen Heng swiftly made his way to a window on the third floor of the dormitory building, facing west, and peered outside. He saw a motorcycle in the distance.
Everyone, prepare your weapons. Only two players are coming this time, riding a motorcycle. Ill shoot the driver, and the rest of you take care of the other player, Chen Heng instructed, aiming his AWM at the approaching motorcycle.
Give me three seconds; Ill be ready in a moment. Medusa quickly positioned herself in the northwest corner of a bedroom, aiming her M24 sniper rifle. The others also found positions where they could shoot the approaching enemies.
Ten seconds later, the motorcycle drew closer. It appeared that the enemys destination was indeed the dormitory building where Chen Hengs team was. However, the enemy wouldnt make it there.
Bang! Chen Hengs AWM shot struck the motorcycle drivers head, who was moving quickly. The driver flew off the bike and knelt in place. With no one at the helm, the motorcycle flipped over.
The other player rolled around in the grass, trying to get up but unable to do so. The fusillade of gunfire turned him into a crate, and the driver, who had initially been knocked down, also became a crate due to their teammates demise.
Black:Red 22:16
Thanks to the two players who had come from afar to meet their doom, the gap between Chen Hengs team and the red team widened once more.
It was as if they had delivered their heads on a platter, lightening the mood despite the dire situation. Chen Heng wouldnt forget these two players.
Chen Hengs team eyed the glowing crates not too far from the dormitory building. However, none of them dared to go and loot them lest they run into an ambush because the recent firefight had been quite loud.
Most importantly, all the members of Chen Hengs team were well-equipped, and the dormitory building had surprisingly not been looted yet. Thus, no one was willing to take the risk of being sniped while looting the crates.
