Chapter 615: Target Practice on the Tower, A Total Wipeout?
Destiny gun?
The expressions Su Changming and Ruo Feng faces showed that they did not understand what had been conveyed to them.
However, Lord Rong explained casually, “In my first tournament where Vic was in it and I provided commentary, do you know what was his scariest maneuver?”
“Hm… I know his sniping skills aren’t too bad…” Ruo Feng guessed as he touched his big nose. “Is it the ‘Moving Target Headshot’? or ‘Machine Gunner One-Shotting Foreign Invaders From Eight Hundred Miles Away’?”
“Ahem… headshotting moving targets is considered a basic technique for them.” Lord Rong coughed. “As for ‘Machine Gunner One-Shotting Foreign Invaders From Eight Hundred Miles Away’… that’s just unrealistic talk.”
Upon hearing Lord Rong’s words, something seemed to have connected in Su Changming’s brain. He had heard of rumors that had been circulating around the Internet.
However, as the commentator with a ‘good guy’ personality, he did not say anything.
Instead, he crossed his hands and rested his chin on them while silently waiting for Lord Rong to continue speaking.
“I wonder if you’ve heard of the legendary ’15x scope MK14′?” Lord Rong felt that he had held everyone in suspense long enough. He was smiling when he revealed the answer.
“15x scope MK?” Ruo Feng exclaimed incredulously as he breathed in a mouthful of cold air, his already big nose nearly doubling in size. “You mean… that was Vic?”
“Yes, that was him!” Lord Rong nodded.
“Fully automatic?” Ruo Feng was still in disbelief.
“It’s an MK14. Of course, it’s fully automatic.” Lord Rong shrugged.
After the two commentators had finished speaking, the bullet screens of the Chinese live stream channels were flooded with comments!
“Heheheh! The commentators think that they have solid evidence that Vic’s destiny gun is the MK14. Not to forget, with a 15x scope and no less!”
“Xiaotong-chan: Baka! Urusai! Urusai!”
“Vic strongly objects! It’s not my fault that I’m so good with the MK14!”
“F*ck! Look at that! Vic did throw away his M16. Didn’t he call himself the fastest M16 in Asia?”
“Ha, kid, it looks like you didn’t know. Vic’s M16 might be Asia-class but his MK14 is world-class!”
“LOLOL I suddenly feel a storm starting to brew from the mountains…”
“On that day, humanity finally remembered the reign of terror Vic’s MK14 brought…”
“…”
In the game, Liu Zilang only expected to find a few consumables and throwables when he sneaked across the road toward the crate Austin had left behind.
However, he saw the familiar shape of an MK14 in the crate and felt an instant connection with it.
He scrolled through the list of contents in the crate and made his decision in his mind.
Swap!
The choice was obvious. Austin had it equipped with a sniper suppressor, an extended mag and a cheek pad. Not swapping his weapon for it meant not showing respect to the deceased!
Not to mention, the MK14 could be used in full-automatic mode. Combined with the fact that its damage output was high, its bullet speed was fast, and it could be used with the Red Dot Sight attachment, it could be used as an “assault sniper”.
Other than its magazine size, it could be said that it fully outmatched the M16 in his hands.
Immediately after that, Liu Zilang replaced his now-useless 5.56mm ammunition with 7.62mm ammunition.
While Liu Zilang was enjoying his ‘feast’ alone, IG had themselves busy moving their base toward Ruins.
With Aluka and Cpt covering Liu Zilang from the “Eiffel Tower” at the eastern side of Water Town, the four players swiftly passed by Water Town without disturbing Liu Zilang. They headed straight into Ruins.
Ruins was located at the inner left part of the play area. There was a lot of natural cover and it was away from any hilly areas. Hence, it averted itself as a “disaster area” for future circles.
Liu Zilang noticed that no one was bothering him so he stuffed his level three backpack until it was full, drank an energy drink and then threw the can away. He did so before returning to the “Eiffel Tower” to rendezvous with Aluka and Cpt.
The “Eiffel Tower” beside Water Town was a signal tower, and its height was similar to that of Duga in Sosnovka Military Base.
If they set up camp at the “Eiffel Tower” and it remained in the safe zone, it would make the perfect spot for “target practice”. At its top, they could even see the distant scenery of Pochinki.
At the same time, the spot made for the perfect target. No walls surrounded the platform at the top of the tower, only railings.
If not for its height that restricted opponents who were directly below the tower from hitting the top of it, once your position was exposed after you fired your gun, it would be easy to be reduced to dust by enemy fire from all directions.
On the other hand, even if no one managed to hit you while you were on top of the tower, you had better pray that Lady Luck smiled on you and the tower remained in the safe zone every circle.
Otherwise, you would be reduced to ashes as you slowly descended the tower.
These were the reasons why not many teams were willing to occupy the tower even though its location was near perfect.
However, Liu Zilang and the others thought differently.
Liu Zilang let Aluka and Cpt climb the tower to avoid any intense firefights that might happen below. On the other hand, his M16 had a suppressor.
Furthermore, after eliminating Navi and ACE ever since they got out of School, all three players of 4AM had silencers on their weapons.
They could afford to sneak in a shot every once in a while. As long as they did not overdo it, it would be hard for them to be treated as “Public Enemy Number One”.
At worst, they would need to defend themselves from the teams near Water Town.
Taking into account the points above, and the fact that they did not have any vehicles, Liu Zilang could not think of a better spot to set up camp than the “Eiffel Tower”.
…
Liu Zilang crossed the road to get back to the tower and then climbed up the stairs to deliver a fresh round of drinks to his teammates who were at the top. At that same time, the four players of IG who had entered Ruins from the left side of Rozhok, north of School, had run into big trouble!
“Bad news! How did IG encounter C9 at this location?”
“If my memory serves right, C9 jumped toward Ruins at the start of the match. They’ve been roaming around the area ever since then.”
“So to say… IG has encountered the ‘local indigenous tribe’?”
“You could put it that way. However, these tribesmen are too vicious, no? Shroud has an AWM on him!”
“Yup, the first airdrop of the match was near Ruins. C9 must have picked it up.”
“By the way, C9 placed first and third in the previous two matches, and they are the strongest champion contenders of tonight’s squad tournament! If IG delivers a sounding defeat to C9 this time, it might spell good news for 4AM.”
“Wait a second! There’s another team near Ruins!”
“I know, C9 is in a standoff with team Knights. IG is now flanking C9!”
As the commentators spoke about the match excitedly, the big screen showing the caster’s camera was covered in dust and shrapnel. The live audience felt like the bullets on the battlefield were headed straight toward them.
IG had taken all the necessary precautions when moving their base.
They had taken a big detour, driving along the fork in the inland river to avoid densely populated places.
However, they did not expect that at the end of their detour, they would accidentally bump into ‘local indigenous tribesmen’…
