Chapter 627: Convergence at the Summit, Se7en! (Part 2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jianghai District, Hua Xia.
In the base camp of Club OMG.
The meeting room door opened, and a lanky young man carrying a bag filled with breakfast food entered the room.
“There’s bao, soy milk, and beancurd. Help yourselves.”
He placed the bag on a tea tray and then took a seat on the closest chair next to him. After doing so, he looked at the screen on the wall that was broadcasting the tournament live.
“You’ve been up all night watching the tournament. How’s it going?” He asked.
A young man who looked like a student turned to look at him. “Seven people are left in this match, and it’ll be the final circle soon,” he said while rubbing his dry eyes.
The slightly plump middle-aged man next to him had never taken his eyes off the tournament screen. The notebook in his hand was filled with his observations from the past three matches.
His brows furrowed. Suddenly, he shook his head and sighed. “I agree with Boss Su’s opinion. SKK has been very conservative about showing their true strength in this match.”
“Regardless of their choice to advance or secure a position in the final circle, their defense has been impenetrable so far. We’ll have to learn from them. As for the three lone wolves who want to gain an advantage over a team like them… it’s not impossible, but the chances are minuscule…”
He paused for a moment and then continued, “However, this California International Invitationals is the first time PUBG has officially organized an international tournament. Count it as an experimental trial run. The first PCPI League next month will be more complete overall, and that’s our true battlefield.”
“Will we be facing strong teams like SKK and Liquid there?” Someone asked expectantly.
“Definitely! We’ll be going to the PGI in Paris, France at the end of the year. Of course, that’s as long as we qualify for it,” the middle-aged coach said determinedly as he nodded. “Hua Xia will be getting three slots at that time. But that’s not important.
“Because our goal is… the champion!”
Upon hearing their coach’s speech, the young men who were feeling tired after staying up all night to watch the tournament suddenly felt inspired. Their eyes were gleaming!
At this time, a slightly plump young man with a student’s haircut had his eyes on the three individuals barely hanging on in the tournament. He quietly sighed.
‘Is this… The end of your era?’
…
Colt Arena, California.
The audience seemed to be breathing rapidly as their eyes were transfixed on the tournament screen.
None of them dared to blink as the ‘Battle at the Summit’ approached.
In the game, the radioactive blue web that closed in from all directions finally coincided with the boundary of the play area.
The final circle had refreshed!
Oh!
The commentators on Hua Xia’s platform sighed when they saw the new circle…
The final circle had appeared with SKK’s position as its center!
A true destiny circle!
Even the four players of SKK were slightly taken aback when they saw this.
After a brief moment of silence, the countdown timer on the final circle showed that it had about a minute left.
Once the countdown timer struck zero, the final blue circle would finish shrinking in fifteen seconds. Its damage would be extremely scary!
In SKK’s team voice chat.
Karl surveyed the battlefield and a dazzling smile appeared at the corners of his lips. “Alright, friends! I know that it has been an easy ride so far, but it’s time to end this game! We need this victory.”
“Heheh, come to me, babies! Stop hiding now!” Billy licked his lips as he swapped to a frag grenade.
Vivian suddenly exclaimed, “Wait! If I’m not mistaken, there are only two people in front of us, right?”
The other three players of SKK came to a realization upon hearing her words.
There were seven people left on the battlefield.
If one could still remember what their elementary school teacher taught them, one should be able to figure out what the problem was.
Where was the other lone wolf?
There could only be one truth.
In a flash, Satan turned around to look behind him. His eyes turned unnaturally cold!
Li Muqiu, who was p.r.o.ne on the reverse slope behind the four players, always had his eyes on them.
His heart skipped a beat when he saw his opponents’ movements!
Bad news!
He knew that he had to strike first.
Unexpectedly, a “BANG” was heard throughout the battlefield!
A sniper bullet whizzed through the air!
Splat!
Satan’s black level three helmet, that was on his head, was suddenly stained in crimson red. His health bar dropped like a rollercoaster train!
“Beautiful! Vic grasped the perfect timing to deliver his shot, but unfortunately, he was unable to knock out Satan.”
“That is unfortunate. After all, SKK had managed to acquire the best equipment on their way here. On the other hand, the danger placed on Guru Qiu has been alleviated.”
“I saw what Satan did just now. Has Vic’s position been exposed?”
“It would not be surprising if it has. The play area is very small at this time, and there are only a few people left.”
“That means Vic is now stuck in an awkward position. SKK’s priority should be to get rid of the ‘trouble’ behind them!”
“Yup. It would be perfect if Vic, Master Ze and Guru Qiu were on the same team. Under these circ.u.mstances, they can’t communicate effectively with each other! They’ll be picked off one by one!”
“…”
In the tournament.
Satan, who had been carelessly ▄︻┻┳═’d, had a face so gloomy that it looked like water would drip out of it at any time!
With his teammates’ providing cover, he used a first aid kit on himself and then swapped to an M24. Together with Billy, he aimed his gun in Liu Zilang’s direction.
“Don’t be too hasty in the direct confrontation. Suppressing him is enough. We still need to clear the guy behind us,” Karl, the captain, reminded them.
“Affirmative.” Billy nodded.
Satan, after calming down, also nodded slowly.
They could not afford to make another mistake this time!
Karl squinted. “No rush. We can deal with them one by one,” he told Satan. However, it also sounded like a reminder to himself.
“None of them can escape!”
Immediately, Karl and Vivian moved into action. One of them prepped their gun, while the other swapped to a frag grenade. The latter then tossed the grenade blindly behind the reverse slope!
The grenade did not necessarily need to hit the opponent, it was to force the opponent to expose themselves.
Once Liu Zilang was exposed, Karl believed that he and Vivian could take care of the lone wolf in a flash.
However, at this time, two unidentified flying objects were headed their way from behind the reverse slope.
Karl and Vivian reflexively dodged.
They then discovered that the two flying objects were smoke grenades.
Clank!
Clank!
Pssshhh!
The smoke grenades spewed thick white smoke which spread over a small area on the battlefield. They obscured their vision.
However, Karl and Vivian casually smiled.
“Is this the struggles of a dying fish?” Karl joked.
“You’ve exposed yourself.” Vivian swapped to a frag grenade and blew on the bangs on her forehead.
Liu Zilang’s smoke grenades had obscured their vision, but at the same time, had told them exactly where he was.
Ching!
Vivian pulled the pin of her frag grenade.
She cooked the grenade in her hand for a short while and then tossed the grenade toward where the smoke grenades had come from, based on her memory.
As the frag grenade sailed through the smoke, the rumbling of a vehicle’s engine was heard!
WTF?!
‘Someone dares operate a vehicle in this circle?’
