Chapter 614: The Austere Li Muqiu and the Bold Liu Zilang!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Muqiu was in a small building in Pochinki. He was crouched at a balcony on the third floor.

Upon hearing gunshots come from the church that was on the high slope in the west, as well as seeing continuous knock-out and kill notifications, he scoped in repeatedly countless times.

However, in the end, he restrained the urge that was in his heart.

He knew that the battle he was fighting was not only for himself but also for the reputation of team Se7en.

If he had opened fire, he might have been lucky enough to knock out and kill a player.

However, after that, he would be under the attack of the remaining SKK players.

On the other hand, if he was unlucky...

He would have been discovered once he shot his first bullet.

He would not kill anyone in that scenario. Instead, his position would be exposed.

Hence, after contemplating about it repeatedly, he decided not to shoot.

Coincidentally, the circle refreshed at that time. Pochinki was too far south and was not included in the new safe zone.

That meant that Li Muqiu and the four players of SKK had to move northward, toward the hilly area near Pochinki.

The reason Li Muqiu was excited was because his worries of the circle refreshing north of the river had been allayed.

Judging by the flight route of the match, if the new safe zone had appeared north of the river, he would have had to move past the squads that had a foothold in the hills, Water Town and Ruins. His scalp went numb from the thought of it.

If it had really happened, Li Muqiu’s attitude throughout the rest of the match would have been, “One-for-one isn’t bad, one-for-two is a bonus”.

Upon seeing the circle refresh, he saw hope dawn on him!

A hilly area like that, full of long grass and vegetation was paradise for a lone wolf like him.

Not only did he not need to outrun the blue circle, but he also did not have to look for cover. As long as he was within the safe zone, all he needed to do was lay prone at an opposite incline.

He would be safe and difficult to detect as long as a random vehicle did not suddenly run him over.

After thinking about it, the spark of light in Li Muqiu’s eyes became even brighter. He also saw SKK start to move out.

After confirming their path, he quickly ran out of the building and began to move in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, on SKK’s side, their performance from the last circle to the current one was rather consistent.

They moved northward from the church that was west of Pochinki and laid claim to the hilly area that was west of “Widow Village” (TN: Nickname given to the residential area with the big warehouse between Pochinki and School.), which was at the bottom edge of the third circle.

After taking their positions, SKK moved into action. Karl and two other team members held their location by ensuring no one could get near them.

Meanwhile, Vivian rode a motorcycle and patrolled the surroundings.

She did so because she wanted to help the team collect information about other teams that were nearby.

In other words, the team was planning to expand their territory.

On her patrol, there were one or two teams that saw her. Seeing how she was daring enough to take a motorcycle for a joyride in the second half of the match, they poked their heads out to fire a few shots.

However, they were suppressed by Vivian’s “remote ground strike” while she was on her motorcycle.

On the Hua Xia commentary platform.

“Tsk tsk! This migration and occupation by SKK...” Lord Rong spoke passionately, “I can only say that they’re ambitious and are aiming to play solidly!”

“Oh? Why do you say so?” Ruo Feng turned to look at him, his head was full of doubt.

Lord Rong pointed at the screen. “Look at SKK’s position. They did not blindly head for the center of the safe zone. Furthermore, their female player’s movements were restricted to the safe zone’s periphery.

“Their objective is to gain control of the entire sector near the edge of the safe zone. This sector includes both the surrounding flat area and the immediate neighboring regions.”

Su Changming continued, “After that, no matter where the circle refreshes, or even if the next circle is concentric or tangential, they can safely move about within the play area.”

“Yup, and that’s why I said that they are ambitious.” Lord Rong nodded and then continued with a certain degree of gravity in his tone, “They have safely protected themselves in this circle and are laying the foundation for their advancement in the next circles. Don’t you think that’s ambitious?”

“Well, now that you say so, I think so too,” Ruo Feng said contemplatively while rubbing his big nose.

At the same time, the caster cut the camera over to Li Muqiu who was still in Pochinki, outside the blue circle.

It was not because he enjoyed being bathed in blue radiation.

It was because he needed SKK’s ‘escort’, and at the same time wanted to avoid being within range of their guns. For that, he needed to ‘run with the wolves’ and remain outside the blue circle for a while.

However, once SKK had secured their positions and shrunk their formation, Li Muqiu’s pupils contracted!

He grasped the opportunity and moved out from the northernmost garage in Pochinki!

He then sneaked toward a point that was not too near nor too far from SKK and then laid prone.

The upper half of his body was obscured behind a reverse slope.

However, the lower half of his body was outside the blue circle...

Upon witnessing this scene, the viewers in the Chinese live-stream channels were taken aback!

“F*ck... what’s he doing so close to SKK? Is he playing with fire?”

“Maybe he wants to undergo this ‘baptism of fire’ to strengthen his resolve to take revenge for Se7en because of the previous match?”

“He better give up! I think Guru Qiu should leave a group of monsters like SKK alone. If he dies, team Se7en will be eliminated!”

“Hm... as a lone wolf carrying the hopes and dreams of his entire hometown, I think he’s a little too adventurous. He should look for a safer spot to survive.”

“Speaking of which, how did Vic survive in the past two matches? Guru Qiu should learn from his old teammate.”

“The brother above. Were you conserving electricity during the previous two matches? You call that ‘surviving’? I have never seen a lone wolf as reckless as Vic!”

“Bahaha LOLOL...”

In the blink of an eye, the bullet screen of the live stream was flooded with comments.

In the meantime, in the tournament, 4AM and IG were moving out of Rozhok.

If they were in another town, the most likely outcome would be that one team would try to escape while the other stopped them. This would force a standoff between the two teams in which neither would be able to escape.

However, Rozhok was different.

There was a long, high slope at the south of Rozhok.

Once the three players of 4AM went downhill along the slope, they were out of reach of IG which was in the northern residential area.

Aluka looked at the map and furrowed his brows. “I hear gunfire from Water Town and the southern hills. There should be people in those places.”

“Where do we go now?” Cpt asked.

“Let’s get to higher ground for a better view.” Liu Zilang’s reply was brief and easily understood. However, he then gave an irresistible suggestion.

“I’ll go loot some crates.”

The corpses of the three fallen Ghost players were near the Fake Garage north of Water Town. They could not go there directly.

Hence, 4AM moved westward along the reverse incline that was south of Rozhok.

Cpt and Aluka went up the “Eiffel Tower” east of Water Town and provided cover with their guns.

Meanwhile, Liu Zilang moved northward and crossed the road alone.

“Vic is going to loot? Is he short of anything?” Ruo Feng who was on the commentary platform asked.

“I don’t think you understand...” Ruo Feng who was one of the commentators for the University of Jianghai’s preliminary tournament said while smiling, “There’s a ‘destiny gun’ for Vic there.”
