Chapter 626 - Convergence at the Summit, Se7en! (Part 1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the caster’s camera were three neatly-placed crates. When the live audience and stream viewers saw them, the corner of their lips twitched.
Evidently, it was the result of Liu Zilang killing all three players with a grenade while they were reviving their teammate…
The scene not only scared members of the live audience but also team Faze who was in the nearby smokescreen. They had revived one of their teammates and were preparing to revive another!
‘That guy is crazy!’
Now the question is… to revive or not to revive?
With twenty-odd seconds left on the countdown timer, and a ‘ticking time bomb’ prowling next to them, the two players of Faze immediately made their decision.
They healed themselves and then took a detour toward the side. Hence, they neared the path that had Shen Zeyan taken to enter the circle, and they headed straight toward the center of the safe zone.
As for their two teammates who were kneeling on the floor, they would have to fend for themselves…
On the commentary platform, Lord Rong laughed when he saw the scene. “Haha, it looks like Vic successfully made an example out of Athletico! We can see that Haxete and Jembty of Faze have started moving into the safe zone. They have resolutely betrayed their teammates. I have to say that Vic’s grenade was indeed horrifying!”
“That kid has a streak of wickedness. If I were Faze, I wouldn’t dare revive my teammates either!” Su Changming said with a grin on his face.
He paused for a while and then continued, “Of course, the fear of getting bombed is one factor. Another factor is that there isn’t much time left on the clock. Even if they did manage to revive their teammates in time, they would still need to heal themselves, no? They’re still quite a distance from the safe zone, and I think they made a wise choice by choosing to abandon their teammates to outrun the blue circle.”
“Now, there are only five teams and nine players left on the battlefield. How about Vic, isn’t he planning to make his move soon?” Ruo Feng’s eyes were glued on Liu Zilang’s position on the map.
In the game, there were less than ten seconds left on the countdown timer.
Liu Zilang remained still as he crouched down, he was silently looking in the direction of the safe zone.
A short moment later… gunfire rang out from the direction of the safe zone!
The four players had found their way out of the smokescreen, and they had bumped into Shen Zeyan and the two players of Faze who had just entered the safe zone!
Shen Zeyan, who was already in the safe zone, was relatively lucky.
Just as bullets filled the air, he managed to dive behind a reverse slope to evade them.
Team Faze, who was right behind him, was not as lucky. Even if they had a reverse slope for cover, the blue circle was right on their butts. Hence, they could not stop moving even if they wanted to!
SKK’s firepower was fierce and strong!
In the blink of an eye, blood spurted out from the different body parts of the Faze Players, and their health levels dropped drastically!
“Sh*t! Dammit!”
“Stop! Quick!”
Seeing that the situation was heading south fast, they quickly found a slope to lie prone behind. They then lobbed a smoke grenade and healed themselves.
At this time, the countdown timer for the blue circle struck zero.
The radioactive blue web that encircled the map started moving toward its center once again.
On the live Western commentary platform, the two Western commentators shouted with all their might!
“Oh! Faze is racing against time now! It’s a race of life and death!”
“Let’s hope that our brave warriors will be able to enter the safe zone without any incidents and then have a fair fight!”
“Let’s cheer for Faze! Go, Faze!”
With the live commentators leading them, many Western audience members started cheering!
As a top-tier European team, Faze was one of the more popular teams among the live audience. Not to mention, they were one of the top seeds in contention for the championship trophy.
However, amidst the deafening cheers from all around the arena, a sound that did not quite fit in was suddenly heard…
Vroom vroom vroom~!
It was the rumbling of an engine!
The caster panned his camera behind Faze.
In an instant, all the live audience members could do was stare wide-eyed at the tournament’s big screen. The phrase “Go, Faze!” was somehow stuck in their throats and lost forever…
On the tournament’s big screen, a jeep roared into view. Then, like a wild dog that had been unleashed, it charged into the smoke.
The next moment, the jeep appeared on the other side of the smokescreen!
However, this time, two people were seen dangling from its windshield…
“4AM-Vic killed Faze-Haxete with vehicle!”
“4AM-Vic killed Faze-Jembty with vehicle!”
Tatatat~!
A chain of bullets was shot!
The two corpses that dangled on the jeep’s windshield had blocked Liu Zilang’s vision. However, they also shielded him from attacks at the same time!
On the driver’s seat, Liu Zilang had preemptively observed the terrain and the vehicle’s path. Out of the blue, he swerved wildly to his left!
Hence, the jeep began to skid. However, just before the jeep exploded, he managed to break in time at the reverse slope that was right next to the edge of the safe zone.
Liu Zilang had successfully entered the safe zone!
Cheers erupted on Hua Xia’s commentary platform!
Lord Rong punched the air with his fist as he shouted ecstatically, “Awesome! Vic has successfully taken Faze’s place in the safe zone with that attack from behind!”
“I feel sorry for the two brothers of Faze. They were forced to heal themselves in the smoke, and they hadn’t done anything else before they were killed.” Ruo Feng sighed exaggeratedly.
“Now, there are only seven people left on the battlefield, and SKK is the only full squad!” Su Changming furrowed his brows slightly. “The other three players are lone wolves. SKK’s advantage here is immense! Under normal circumstances, we can say that the chicken dinner is firmly in their hands.”
“But!” Lord Rong suddenly raised his voice. “But! The three lone wolves are all Hua Xia players! Not only that, I believe that everyone watching the stream has realized that they are all former players of Se7en!”
Ruo Feng was momentarily taken aback but he quickly regained his composure. “That is indeed so. Furthermore, Vic, Master Ze and Guru Qiu won’t be going at each other’s throats this time. They need to remove the greatest threat to their existence, that is, the full four-man squad of SKK. Only then can they settle their personal affairs.”
“It looks like the situation will become a reenactment of the old team Se7en, they’ll split into three ways and then eliminate SKK!”
“Even so, SKK has the advantage in numbers. Moreover, since they can communicate with each other, their coordination will be better.” Su Changming said as he furrowed his brows, “As for Vic and the rest… I’m not too optimistic about them.”
In reality, not only did the Hua Xia commentators notice that the three players used to be in the same team, the Western commentators and audience were also not strangers to the player IDs of Liu Zilang, Li Muqiu, and Shen Zeyan!
Especially with the four people of SKK at the center of the circle, the scene that had been laid in front of them felt somewhat familiar.
Many veteran FPS tournament viewers felt like they had returned to the “Battle of the Gods” that took place a year ago.
Many SKK fans were confident about their team taking the game. However, once they saw the IDs of the three players, they suddenly felt a hint of panic arise.
Who would have expected Se7en to be reunited under such circumstances?
Back then, SKK had turned the tide at the last moment, halting Se7en in their tracks when they were about to claim dominance all over Europe and America!
What will be the conclusion of the climactic battle this time?
Upon seeing the adrenaline-filled scene, viewers from all around the world began to feel excited!
