Chapter 29: Can I Touch Your AWM?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Boom!”

There was a loud roar at the top of Duga, but everything soon fell back to silence once again.

Zhang Xiaotong who was running in panic heard the gunshot; she stilled and blinked.

Then, upon understanding, she walked up as how Liu Zilang instructed her to do so.

Obviously, the shots fired by Liu Zilang had scared her a little.

The reason as to why Zhang Xiaotong followed his orders was because the two of them had just met. She was afraid that Liu Zilang would have lost it and shot her if she did not do as he asked…

Had Liu Zilang known Zhang Xiaotong’s thoughts at that time, he probably would not have known whether to cry or to laugh.

…

The two of them stood firmly at the top of Duga.

As time passed, the blue circle gradually began to shrink.

From time to time, the roaring sound of an engine could be heard. There were squads that chose to drive into the circle, attempting to seize the advantageous spot in the safe area within the airport.

The next safe zone was refreshed once and the blue circle had shrunk.

At that time, the mountain observatory that was located eastward from the Sosnovka Military Base was no longer within the safe zone. The safe zone had been refreshed from the Boiler Room to the K Building of the base. Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong were situated at the overpass, northwest of the safe zone.

Liu Zilang was wielding his AWM as he looked down at the people running into the circle from Duga. He suddenly asked with a smile, “Are you ready?”

“Ready for what?” Zhang Xiaotong sounded a little confused.

“The hunt has begun.” While Liu Zilang was speaking, he had already scoped in and aimed at a team that was running from the northern slope of Duga.

“Bang!”

Out of the two people who were running down from the slope, the one running in front staggered and stumbled to the ground without warning.

His teammate was startled and hurriedly hid behind a tree on the hillside.

At the same time, Liu Zilang’s voice rang again.

“Finish him!”

“Huh? Oh oh!” Zhang Xiaotong had blanked out, but immediately understood.

She raised her SCAR-L that was equipped with a 4x scope and excitedly fired a series of shots that went “Bratatata”.

On the hillside, the man who had been shot by Liu Zilang had just turned his back. He said to his teammate, “Buddy, lay some cover fire for me and I’ll crawl a little further to the back.”

However, immediately afterward, an intensive burst of bullets finished him…

“F*ck!”

The man’s teammate was horrified and had almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Brother, I see someone. Watch me avenge you!”

The man was still hiding behind the tree. He looked up and saw Liu Zilang who was standing at the top of Duga, wearing a brown coat. He switched his primary weapon to an M24 as he vowed to avenge his now dead teammate.

Then at once, he emerged from behind the tree. However, suddenly, his eyelids could not help but twitch.

“Boom!”

The instant he revealed himself, his Level 3 Spetsnaz Helmet was blown open!

He did not even have the chance to scope in, and his screen had turned from colored to black and white.

He suddenly opened his mouth in a dazed manner and begun cussing.

…

The subsequent storyline followed the same pattern.

While standing at the top of Duga, Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong would tag team. One of them would knock down the enemy, while the other would deal the finishing blow. They massacred those who did not have vehicles and were trying to outrun the blue circle by foot.

Sometimes, even when one of them was shooting, the other would steal a few shots at the target.

Liu Zilang, who had godlike responses could discern a location by sound. He would narrow his eyes and quickly find out the source of a gunshot, he would then dispatch the opponent almost instantly.

At a certain point of time, the AWM that was in his hands was giving out a certain feeling; that it was “Doing what it loved the most!”

Without a doubt, Liu Zilang’s marksmanship caused chills. However, the one who was truly terrifying was Zhang Xiaotong.

In many cases, Liu Zilang would just knock down an opponent without killing them.

However, Zhang Xiaotong’s SCAR-L was like the grim reaper’s scythe. She would ruthlessly rob away the last glimmer of hope of those who were knocked down. Anyone who saw her would have certainly felt a chill go down their spine.

On the other hand, Liu Zilang was more like an eagle. Whenever a person appeared within his field of vision, he would be able to knock down the opponent cleanly with a single shot.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Xiaotong seemed to have discovered the fun of this game for the first time.

“The more kills there are, the more euphoric it is!”

“The more kills there are, the more excitement!”

Witnessing this scene, the viewers of the livestream were stunned silent.

“66666”

“With eyes like these, is Expert Bro still human?”

“I feel bad for the people below Duga.”

“This is the f*cking ultimate profound meaning of guiding a chick!”

“From now on, Expert Bro shall redefine the new standard of guiding chicks!”

“Oh no, I feel that Xiaotong-chan will no longer play with us fellow amateurs.”

“…”

…

After about a minute or so.

It was obviously nearing the finals, but the surroundings of Duga where Liu Zilang and Zhang Xiaotong were had suddenly gone quiet.

Not even a distant gunshot could be heard. It was like a vacuum zone.

“I’ve killed another one!”

Zhang Xiaotong said happily, “Where are the people! Is there anyone left?”

Liu Zilang shrugged. “There’s no one left. I can’t find anyone.”

“Ah?” Zhang Xiaotong voice suddenly sounded disappointed.

At that time, the next safe area appeared.

Liu Zilang looked at the map.

The white circle had shifted toward the military base and their overpass was no longer in the next safe area. To enter the circle, they had to at least run toward the five warehouses.

By that time, nineteen survivors remained in the field and Liu Zilang’s kill count had unknowingly arrived at twenty-four kills.

It must be said that with Zhang Xiaotong and Liu Zilang’s killing efficiency, a qualitative leap had been achieved in the short span of time they were at Duga.

…

As they were descending Duga, Zhang Xiaotong followed behind Liu Zilang. She could not help but stare at his AWM that was strapped behind his back. She whispered, “Can I swap my 98k with yours? I haven’t touched an AWM before. Hehe, I want to touch it.”

“Okay.”

Surprisingly, Liu Zilang readily agreed to it.

“Ah! Great! You’re such a good man! A great man!”

Zhang Xiaotong happily dropped the 98k from her character. Her eyes were staring at the AWM behind Liu Zilang.

Liu Zilang kept his words and quickly dropped the AWM on him.

Zhang Xiaotong’s eyes glimmered. For fear of Liu Zilang’s remorse, she quickly picked up the AWM and started giggling away.

Liu Zilang picked up the 98k and then reminded her, “Hurry up, let’s first enter the circle.”

“Uh huh.” Zhang Xiaotong nodded very obediently this time.

…

After the two of them walked forward for a while, Zhang Xiaotong suddenly realized that something was amiss.

She opened her backpack and glanced at it, scratching her head.

She then continued to take two steps before looking at the backpack again. Suddenly, she came to a realization. “What about the ammo for my AWM?”

“There isn’t any left,” said Liu Zilang who kept on walking without turning back.

“What?” Zhang Xiaotong froze.

“There were 20 rounds in total and I finished it on Duga.”

Liu Zilang then consoled her, “Didn’t you say that you haven’t touched an AWM? Touch it more then.”

“…” Zhang Xiaotong was speechless.

“Ahhhh!”

A moment later, a frantic voice was heard.

On the livestream, countless viewers who were watching convulsed with laughter.

“I can’t take this anymore! I can’t take this anymore!”

“Hahaha! I died laughing!”

“Expert Bro, you’re too cunning!”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Xiaotong-chan like this.”

“Haha, speaking of which, today really is a day filled with ups and downs in Xiaotong-chan’s life!”

“…”
