Chapter 640: Do You Believe in Feng Shui, Kid? (Part 1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The scene on the coastal road was similar to that of a speeding vehicle being pursued by traffic police on a motorcycle.
Shortly after, the truck came to a halt.
However, the motorcycle did not brake or slow down. At full force, it crashed directly into the pickup truck!
It is worth mentioning that before all of this happened…
After the team in the truck had hit the emergency brakes…
K3 had reminded his teammate that they would hop to the back of the truck and exit it from the rear.
That way, they could immediately use the truck as cover in case they went into a standoff with their pursuers. If time allowed, they might have even been able to use a first aid kit before they had to fight.
However, Ke Xue had slammed into the truck before they could do so!
Thus, K3’s plans became mere fantasies…
BANG!
The motorcycle’s front wheel was wedged under the side of the pickup truck, causing a deafening cras.h.!.+
In a short amount of time, the strongest force in PUBG – the motorcycle – had once again unleashed its horrifying power!
The pickup truck was sent flying from the force of the impact as though it was a weed that had been uprooted!
Behind the truck, K3 and Yuniko felt like idiots when they saw it flying toward their faces.
Whoosh~
b.u.mp!
b.u.mp!
Two loud thuds of metal hitting human flesh rang out.
The pickup truck collided with the two players and both of them flew into the air like kites with broken strings. It was as though they had been hit by a Jedi force pus.h.!.+
‘Looks like Team Rocket’s blasting off again!’
Splat!
Splat!
The two players fell with their backs facing the ground one after the other, their big eyes staring into the sky.
Next to them, two crates laid silently…
Seeing how the scene had unexpectedly turned out, Shen Zeyan unarmed his gun without saying a word.
After being in a trance for a while… he uttered his second sentence in the match.
“This time, I’ll drive.”
…
As time pa.s.sed, a blue radioactive web descended upon the desert and shrunk inward.
Teams from all over the map started to make their journey toward the first safe zone, the center of which was at Los Leones in the bottom right quadrant of the map.
Judging from the migration patterns on the map, teams who were from towns in the upper right corner of the map, such as El Pozo and La Cobreria, had to pa.s.s through Pecado as they made their way toward the safe zone.
Even though Liu Zilang, G.o.dV and Li Muqiu’s teams were in a standoff in one of the towns, they each waited in antic.i.p.ation for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Pecado was as quiet as a ghost town.
However, the roads around Pecado were noisy. Cars frequently sped past the town and its surroundings bustled with activity.
On Hua Xia’s commentary platform.
“It looks like no one’s holding back in this match. The first blue circle is still shrinking, and there are only 37 teams and 70 people left,” Su Changming said while smiling.
“Heheh, it’s an exhibition match anyway. Of course, everyone would be unhesitant in picking fights,” Lord Rong said while looking at the tournament screen, “It would be a bore if everyone went to gather loot at the start of a game as they would in a proper compet.i.tive match.”
“Do you think it’s about time that the three teams in Pecado made their move?”
Ruo Feng rubbed his chin. “They are very near to the safe zone. However, the problem is that most of the other teams have already entered the play area.”
“I agree with Captain Big Nose here.” Lord Rong nodded. “If the three teams at Pecado don’t start moving into the safe zone now, their biggest enemy will soon be the teams that are camping at the northwestern edge of the safe zone.”
“Oh? Wait a second, there’s some movement in Pecado.”
On the tournament’s big screen, the caster’s camera was pointed at the base of a blue building.
Li Muqiu and Gao Yunyang, who had finished looting the rooftop of the blue building, had run down its external stairway and jumped down onto the ground.
After they had gotten back up, they hopped onto their bus and headed toward Los Leones through the barren desert south of Pecado.
By observing the number of vehicles that pa.s.sed by the town, it was obvious to them that they had to enter the safe zone as soon as they could.
Liu Zilang, who had always been a hospitable person toward his former teammates, did not agree with their actions to leave town without even saying goodbye.
He and Misaka Mikoto climbed up to the second floor of the motel. Then, using a collapsed wall, they climbed up to the rooftop.
They saw a sky-blue minibus heading toward them with no signs of stopping, it was evidently trying to leave Pecado by heading toward the nearest road. If it managed to do so, it would then be on its way to Los Leones.
The minibus was the slowest vehicle in the game when it came to accelerating uphill. However, once it hit the road, it could reach speeds up to a hundred kilometers an hour. Moreover, it could soak up a lot of damage.
Li Muqiu was relying on these two characteristics of the minibus to force their way into the safe zone.
He did not believe that Liu Zilang could use his Win94 to snipe him out of the bus with the distance between them.
The truth was, Li Muqiu was only partially correct.
Liu Zilang was considered very accurate with his Win94. However, without any sort of aiming a.s.sistance, there was still the element of luck that had to be factored in since he was shooting a moving target.
Hence, Liu Zilang swapped to his AKM, and with Misaka Mikoto’s cooperation, they managed to reduce the two players’ health levels to less than half.
“F*ck! Why would he use a rifle when he has a sniper?”
“Nonsense… do you think he’s Master Ze?”
“F*ck! I’ll be angry if he keeps on shooting!”
“I’ll be angry too!”
“Alright, that does it. How about we fight back? His silly disciple is useless in a fight.”
“We’re stopping here? What if someone comes from behind us?”
“…”
There was some truth in Li Muqiu’s words.
Who knew how many teams had not yet entered the safe zone?
He took the minibus off the road and headed toward the hills in the south.
“s.h.i.+fu, s.h.i.+fu! They’re getting away!”
“We’ll just have to keep on shooting at their b.u.t.ts then,” Liu Zilang said calmly with a smile on his face.
Amidst the hail of bullets…
A “Psht” was heard!
The minibus had almost made it to the top of the hill when its rear suddenly slumped down. Only a naked tire rim was seen in place of the now gone wheel.
Minibusses were already slow enough when accelerating uphill. With one of its rear wheels gone, it was practically crawling!
“I’ll throw smoke grenades. Let’s get down the bus!”
Gao Yunyang, who was never a fan of public transport, made a resolute decision!
He leaned out the window and threw a smoke grenade toward the top of the hill in front of him.
Pssshht~!
Thick white smoke quickly filled the surrounding area.
Meanwhile, Li Muqiu parked the minibus sideways, forming a gigantic obstacle to the line of fire on the slope behind them.
As the minibus stopped to a halt, the two players hopped into opposite seats, alighted into the smoke, and made their way toward the top of the hill.
At the same time, a pickup truck was seen speeding on the road south of Pecado!
The players in the truck were not part of G.o.dV’s team which was still in town. Instead, they were Kim Doo Hwan and EscA of team Gold.
