Picking Up Fragments

On the other side, where Wang Jun's team had set up an ambush, there echoed casual and playful banter.

"These guys are so bad, they can't even camp and ambush properly, haha."

"Leave these few to me."

"Wow, Weishen, you're overdoing it, training guns on newbies. I don't care, I want a kill too. TNT's health is halved, my heart aches..."

"Don't worry, I'll leave one for you; I'll consider your livestream impact."

"Hehe, that sounds cool~ Brothers in the livestream, did you see that? Today, our team has a member from the professional team 4AM leading us. Betting starts now, how many kills will our team achieve!"

"They seem to be running; I'll take the lead."

...

Weishen confidently took charge, feeling supremely self-assured against this weak team, as if those four opponents were insignificant.

As Weishen charged up the slope, he caught sight of the last one, Wang Jun, leaving. He swiftly raised his M416 assault rifle.

Just as he was about to open fire, a crisp gunshot exploded near his ear.

And then, he collapsed to the ground.

"Sniper! Northwest, on the mound!"

The moment he was sniped, Weishen knew the opponent's position and relayed it to his teammates.

At the same time, he was taken aback. He had barely hesitated for 0.5 seconds, and yet, this person had instantly sniped him. Was it a lucky shot or a hidden expert?

"Terrifying! So scary~~" The girl in the team let out her usual pig-like squeal.

The other two teammates remained calm—one deployed smoke while the other covered Weishen to heal him.

The adaptability of a professional team was evident.

However, to their surprise, the opponent didn't bother about Weishen lying there. Another head peeked out from behind the mound.

One of 4AM's members, Xiao Xingmu, was about to shoot, but the opponent retracted instantly and fired in the interim.

"Isn't this funny? Didn't even have enough time to scope in, instant snipe?"

Xiao Xingmu sneered disdainfully.

But just as he finished speaking, he seemed cursed, falling to the ground. The level-two helmet he had on with its camo skin shattered, leaving a bloody hole in the center of his forehead.

"Damn!"

This time, all three from 4AM swore simultaneously.

Real instant sniping???

And at such an incredible speed! Not even North America's sniper god, girmmmz, is this quick!

"Smoke, throw smoke, don't engage! Something's wrong!" Weishen instantly commanded.

Another member of 4AM immediately obeyed, hiding behind a tree, ready to revive, and deployed smoke.

Meanwhile, the female team member hiding behind a rock was trembling, feeling helpless.

It seemed like only her pig-like squeals could slightly calm her nerves.

"I just picked up a level-three helmet, I don't want to die~~ This rock corner should keep me safe, right..."

Her words, in Hunan dialect, somewhat eased the tense atmosphere.

"Tuan Tuan, stop shouting! Come help me and pass me the level-three helmet. I'll take this guy down!" Weishen said seriously, his face stern.

"Okay, coming, big bro, don't hit me, I'm just a delivery~~" While shouting, the girl summoned her courage and ran towards Weishen.

Though scared, she knew that if Weishen died, their game would be over; their hard work would be ruined.

Thankfully, the smoke obscured their movements, and the girl ran through it without getting shot.

"Puff puff, I'm here to save you!" The girl bent down to rescue Weishen, her voice sweet and cute, resembling an anime character, eliciting both laughter and relief.

Rising up, healing himself, Weishen put the girl's level-three helmet on himself.

Confident again, Weishen changed position, pulling out his M24 sniper rifle with an eight-time scope, observing every movement on the other side.

In his scope, a person's gun barrel had just emerged. Weishen was confident he could take them down as soon as they showed themselves!

"As soon as you show yourself, you're dead." Weishen stared at the screen, his finger on the trigger.

As the smoke cleared, Jiang Siming hiding behind the mound couldn't resist peeking to check the situation.

Earlier, due to the smoke, he couldn't aim at the target unless he used wallhacks.

He had intended to throw a grenade, but Wang Jun's team had already looted his backpack. All he had left were bullets and smoke grenades.

Bang!

The moment he peeked, Jiang Siming felt a bullet hit him, and his health bar instantly dropped by half, leaving just a sliver of health.

Terrified, he quickly retreated, thankful that the bullet didn't hit his head; instead, it hit his level-two vest, absorbing much of the damage. Otherwise, being at less than full health, he would've been a dead body.

"Damn! Didn't hit the head!" Weishen was a bit annoyed but felt it wasn't a big deal; he had complete control of the situation.

"As soon as you show up, you're dead!"

Just as Weishen finished speaking, on the other side of the mound, a head popped out, then rapidly withdrew, and another shot was fired in the meantime.

Thud!

A muffled sound as the bullet hit flesh.

Weishen noticed that his level-three helmet had a hole in it, and his health bar was now only a fifth full.

Startled, Weishen hurriedly crouched to heal himself.

If not for the level-three helmet, he would've been sniped again just now.

"Is this guy cheating?" Xiao Xingmu was suspicious.

However, Yongyuan disagreed, saying, "Cheating disappeared a year ago; Bluehole and Tencent have strong anti-cheat mechanisms. Even if there's a slight issue with an account, it gets banned instantly. Ninety-five percent of mouse macros get banned, let alone this instant sniping cheat, which has vanished long ago."

After this explanation, everyone found it plausible.

While they were discussing, the sound of the 98K rifle echoed again, and Xiao Xingmu, hiding behind a tree, fell again!

Feeling a bit relaxed, Xiao Xingmu carelessly peeked out to locate Jiang Siming's position and got hit by another sniper bullet.

This time, before he could crawl back, Jiang Siming fired again and finished him off.

"This is unbelievable!" Xiao Xingmu was furious, almost slamming his keyboard. Clearly, he was extremely unwilling.

Weishen looked serious; his intuition told him that the opponent was a highly skilled sniper!

"Why did he show his head so quickly?" Yongyuan wondered.

"It means he's low. I'll cover you; you two rush him," Weishen said, feeling a bit embarrassed, anticipating what the live chat would say about their four-vs-one tactic.

"Okay, I'll charge with you," Yongyuan immediately rushed up without hesitation, and the female team member obediently followed.

The two charged ahead, while Weishen covered them; the enemy was already weakened, and victory seemed assured in this showdown.
