Chapter 712: Here Comes the Pan!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Up for contention in the solo tournament was a t.i.tle that granted the highest individual value to a player. Not to mention, the winner would have their own weapon skin made.
In the final stages of the match, all fifteen survivors on the battlefield stood an equal chance of winning. All of them were nervous.
Like any other solo tournament, one’s gun skills, reflexes, and danger sense became more and more important as the match approached its final stages.
Killing the right opponent.
How to identify advantageous terrain.
In a bush at the edge of the safe zone.
Someone was lying p.r.o.ne quietly, that person was like a veteran hunter. He was Austin of the North American team Ghost.
Austin was playing very cautiously because he was the sole survivor of his team.
We can see that it was the case because he did not fire at the person whom he saw coming in from the blue circle.
All around him was thick vegetation. He was not sure if there were anyone else lying in wait in the bushes like him.
Meanwhile, the person who had just come into the safe zone was none other than Shen Zeyan.
The moment he entered the circle, the pupils of his eyes on his usually expressionless face constricted!
The next moment, his expression returned to normal, and he s.h.i.+fted his attention elsewhere.
On the commentary platform.
“That’s not good! Master Ze seems to have missed the person hiding in the bushes.”
“Well, I can’t blame him for that. Satan did not discover Vic who was hiding in the bushes earlier. Not to mention, he even helped Vic eliminate a threat. Sometimes these ‘mirage tanks’ are really sneaky.”
“The only fortunate thing is that Austin seems to have reservations in exposing himself. That’s why he hasn’t shot at him yet.”
“Wait a second. Why is Master Ze moving to the bushes after healing himself?”
“Is this going to be like Vic earlier? Oh! Austin has taken out his pan!”
“Oh my G.o.d! Don’t tell me he wants to kill Master Ze with that?”
“That’s such a bold move. However, it might be possible if Master Ze still hasn’t noticed him!”
“That’s right, just like in the commercials. Austin will have made the play of the match if he succeeds!”
“…”
Under the caster’s camera.
Shen Zeyan was seen walking step by step to his right while staying half-crouched. He had a gun in his hands.
Every step he took brought him a little closer to Austin who was in the bushes.
The live audience members and live stream viewers quickly understood what was happening. They were anxious to know what would happen next.
They knew of the power of the pan in the game, and so many of them silently cheered for Austin!
In the match, Austin was clutching onto his pan as he laid p.r.o.ne in the bushes.
His eyes grew brighter with every step Shen Zeyan took; they each brought him closer to him.
‘Heh!
‘Come on baby!
‘Get over here quick!’
In the blink of an eye, Shen Zeyan was less than two meters away from Austin.
If Shen Zeyan had taken a few more steps to the right, he might have even stepped on Austin’s head.
Shen Zeyan stopped moving abruptly. Austin’s heart skipped a beat!
‘Oh no!
‘Have I been discovered?’
A short moment later, his anxiety quickly turned into joy!
After Shen Zeyan had stopped, he crouched on the ground and then aimed his Kar98K to a certain spot in the wheat field that continuous gunfire was coming from.
‘Now’s my chance!’
Austin slowly got up from his p.r.o.ne position, still clutching onto his pan.
Still half-crouched, he walked stealthily toward Shen Zeyan’s back.
One step, two steps…
Like the clutches of a nightmare!
Like the claws of a devil!
Everyone became tense as they watched the suspenseful scene!
“Oh no! Master Ze seems to have been too careless!”
“Looks like Austin is going to unlock the achievement of panning someone in the last few circles.”
“Wait a second… why do I think that there’s something suspicious about this…”
Austin was finally in melee range of Shen Zeyan.
He cackled wickedly!
‘Say goodbye to this world…’
Austin lifted his hand that held the pan. Everyone’s eyes bulged, as though they had seen the result of the attack.
As the pan swung downward, Shen Zeyan, who had seemed oblivious all this while, suddenly turned around!
With an exaggerated motion of his mouse hand, the Kar98K in his hands swung around impressively!
Bang!
Bang!
The simultaneous sounds of the pan dropping and the gun being fired were like sudden thunderclaps on a cloudy summer afternoon!
What was promised… was delivered!
The next moment, Austin, still clutching his pan, fell to the ground with an incredulous face.
Everyone was shocked by Shen Zeyan’s impossibly fast ‘turnaround kill’!
What incredible reflexes!
Or maybe… he knew there was someone in the bushes all this while?
If it were the former, then his reflexes were superhuman. If it were the latter, then his patience and deception skills were off the charts!
The caster replayed Shen Zeyan’s player cam. Everyone finally noticed the microscopic change in his gaze when he entered the safe zone!
Hiss!
The commentators sucked in a breath of cold air as they watched the scene!
Come to think of it…
Austin was like a little rabbit who thought he was the big bad wolf. Little did he know that he was acting under the script Shen Zeyan had written…
The thought of it sent a shudder up everyone’s spines!
“I was wrong! So wrong!”
“I always thought Shen Zeyan was a cold expressionless CEO. Who knew that he was actually the CEO’s wicked son!”
“That’s exactly it. Whoever plays dirty tricks are wicked!”
“Pah! You’re the wicked one!”
“I’ll crush your head with my thighs if you say that once more!”
“Must protect my darling angel baby Big Bro Zeyan! He must have been corrupted by Vic back then.”
“That must be it! Let’s beat up Vic! How dare he corrupt our Big Bro Zeyan!”
“My bad my bad… Master Ze’s ‘wife base’ is strong indeed! By the way, why do I feel sorry for Vic?”
“LOLOLOL.…”
In the match, Liu Zilang was still quietly crouched in the bushes. He was unaware that he had been made a scapegoat yet again.
He had achieved a state of zen-like non-being amidst the storm of gunfire around him. In other words, his hands were already off his keyboard and mouse. He had transformed himself into a bush.
In such a tense situation, he did not have to worry that he would be discovered as long as he was not hit by a stray bullet or a grenade was thrown awry.
As the safe zone shrunk and the number of survivors decreased, Liu Zilang found himself visited by an unexpected guest.
