The piles of wooden planks in the trench were erected at an almost vertical angle . There was no place for a grenade to stick on to as long as the two players in the trench stayed close to the planks .
That was the reason why they had not managed to kill each other even after throwing multiple grenades .
Molotov Cocktails were different .
Liu Zilang stuck his head out from the pile of wooden planks to survey the situation . The few grenades he had thrown earlier had familiarized him with the distance and trajectory of his throwable .
“Tsk tsk! Vic is going to lay napalm there!”
“But it’s a little difficult to throw at that angle, right?”
“Hm, with both sides having cover, the throwable might rebound if one is careless . ”
“Heheh, I didn’t know Vic was into self-immolation . He’s the Incarnation of Thor anyway, throwing a Molotov Cocktail shouldn’t be above his skill level?”
“Hm… I still think there’s a difference . I’m not going to jinx anything, let’s see how he’ll handle it . ”
The three commentators on the platform started an intense discussion when they saw Liu Zilang pull out a Molotov Cocktail .
In the match, Liu Zilang was unaware that his actions of throwing a Molotov Cocktail had made him the main focus of the caster’s attention .
His eyes focused, and he flung the Molotov Cocktail at a high angle .
The caster had learned his lesson, and he pulled the camera to a high altitude to follow the trajectory of the flaming bottle .
What the caster did not expect to happen was…
The moment the Molotov Cocktail left his hand, Liu Zilang abruptly pulled out the M24 that was slung to his back . Everyone was still looking at the Molotov Cocktail .
“That looks a little too high!”
“Oh, what a pity . It’s going to fly over his head…”
The next moment, just when the Molotov Cocktail was about to pass the pile of wooden planks .
Pcht!
Bang!
The Molotov Cocktail that was over the head of Liu Zilang’s opponent suddenly shattered . Glass shards flew everywhere, and flames ignited in all directions!
Countless wisps of fire fell from the sky like manna from heaven .
Frolicer who was hiding behind the pile of wooden planks had heard something explode above him . However, he did not manage to react in time as his head caught fire…
Then, his eyebrows…
His eyes…
His nose…
His whole body…
Frolicer, who had suddenly turned into a ‘man on fire’, dashed out of cover .
That was the moment that Liu Zilang had been waiting for .
He did not swap away the M24 from his hands . Instead, he loaded another bullet into it since it was bolt action sniper rifle, and then fired it immediately!
Pcht!
Frolicer’s heart skipped a beat and it grew cold as he heard the suppressed bang of the sniper .
The next instant, a sniper bullet pierced his body from behind .
Frolicer stumbled on his feet and then fell clumsily to the ground .
His body continued to burn as he laid on the ground .
It was not a peaceful death…
Meanwhile, the viewers in the live audience and the stream channel had confusion written all over their faces .
The caster’s camera had been on the Molotov Cocktail and not Liu Zilang .
They had only seen the flaming bottle shatter abruptly into a million pieces as it flew over the pile of wooden planks!
It has to be mentioned that the detonation mechanism of a Molotov Cocktail was by impact . It was not timed like a grenade that could explode in the air .
So… what the hell was that earlier?
Suddenly, someone mentioned that they had heard the familiar sound of a ‘stapler’ .
“Wait!”
“It can’t be!”
The tournament screen changed once again . The caster replayed the scene .
On the screen, Liu Zilang was seen flinging the Molotov Cocktail .
This time, the caster locked the camera onto Liu Zilang instead of following the trajectory of the Molotov Cocktail .
The next moment, under the watchful eyes of all the viewers, Liu Zilang was seen to have swiftly swapped to his M24 right after the bottle had left his hand . He tracked the bottle until it reached a certain point over the pile of wooden planks and then fired a shot at it without any hesitation .
A bullet was ejected . The bottle shattered!
‘Heavenly Fire’ poured down from the sky as though a meteor had smashed a gaping hole in it .
Everyone’s jaw dropped to the floor when they saw the amazingly cool scene . It blew their heads off!
How can…
This person…
Be such a showoff!
In the match, after killing Frolicer in one shot, Liu Zilang proclaimed his dominance over the territory of the V-shaped trenches .
A short while later, the circle refreshed .
Liu Zilang, still drunk in the satisfaction of that maneuver earlier, was a little taken aback when he saw the new circle on the map .
“Oh! It’s a wheat field circle!”
“Yup . I thought the circles would veer toward Georgopol or the V-shaped trenches . Who would have guessed that it would head toward the wheat fields?”
“It’ll be a tough battle for the people in town now . Twenty-four people remain on the battlefield, and more than half of them are in Georgopol . Those who didn’t manage to get into town earlier must be thanking their lucky stars now . ”
“Looks like Vic’s efforts in occupying his spot are all in vain now . He’ll have to escape the blue circle from wherever he is . ”
“Well… Guess luck isn’t on his side this time . ”
While the commentators spoke on the platform, the players in Georgopol and the V-shaped trenches prepared to move out .
Nobody dared expose themselves rashly . People would shoot at them from the wheat field . Moreover, there would be more people shooting their backs if they moved first .
Suddenly, an intense flurry of gunfire erupted from a two-story building in the residential area of Georgopol South Hill .
The caster shifted the camera to that location . The viewers could only see a patch of white smoke .
“Oh! It’s Vivian and Master Ze!”
“Vivian seems to be engaged with Master Ze . She’ll start taking circle damage soon if she doesn’t get out of there!”
“Another no-scope from Master Ze! Amazing! Oh my god! Master Ze hit Vivian who’s in the smokescreen!”
“Is he going to swap to a rifle?”
“Master Ze is still using his sniper! He’s such a dedicated man!”
On the tournament screen, the caster cut to the location of the incident .
In the smokescreen, Vivian had been hit in the chest by Master Ze’s no-scope shot . Her health level dropped by almost half .
Time was not on her side . Vivian did not tarry within the smokescreen to use a first aid kit as her boost meter was already full . Instead, she hastily applied a bandage and then left the rest to her health regeneration .
Her priority was to lob smoke grenades so that she could enter the safe zone . That was her only ticket out of her disadvantage .
Meanwhile, Shen Zeyan who was at the residential area silently aimed at the smokescreen .
His face bore no expression . No one could have read what he was thinking .
“Master Ze is still blocking Vivian? Doesn’t he need to escape from the blue circle?”
“Vivian is meticulous in throwing a smokescreen . Master Ze’s shot earlier was probably a lucky shot . Is he gambling on hitting his opponent again?”
“I think that’s quite impossible . Many people have already started moving toward the safe zone . I think Master Ze should get going soon too . ”
“Yup . Otherwise, it’ll be hard for him to enter once everyone else is in . More importantly, there’s no meaning to it if he continues to bl-”
On the commentary platform, Lord Rong’s words were abruptly cut short . His expression froze…
