<h4>Chapter 618: Highlight of the Tournament?</h4>
On the slope north of Pochinki.
SKK had set up a smokescreen to protect their fallen teammate. While they had obscured their positions from outsiders, it also meant that the smoke prevented them from looking outside.
Upon seeing SKK’s sudden chaos, the ones breathing sighs of relief were not those at the hilly area but rather the two yers lying prone on two sides of the opposing slope: Li Muqiu and Aimpr!
ced in the same situation, many people would have had the same idea in their heads. For example, Li Muqiu and Aimpr.
At the same time when Li Muqiu pulled out the pan from his back, Aimpr had the urge to do the same thing.
That was to return to the era of cold weapons, and be a heartless assassin!
However, Aimpr had his reservations.
What if he rushed toward his opponent with a pan, but the opponent did not reciprocate the favor and pulled out a gun? Bringing a pan to a gunfight... it was too difficult.
While he was lost in thought and hesitant in making a decision, he suddenly heard the rustling sounds next to his ear grow louder.
‘Oh no!
‘The opponent is nearing!’
The next moment, Aimpr turned to look at the top of the hill.
Before he could see anyone, he saw a frying pan.
Aimpr let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the top half of the ck frying pan.
‘This person gets me!’
However, once he ascertained the position of his opponent, Aimpr had second thoughts.
He nced at the thick white smoke emanating from SKK’s position and had the idea of putting down Li Muqiu with a bullet while no one was looking...
His finger on the swap weapon button was twitching when suddenly, that half of the frying pan disappeared.
What happened? Aimpr was confused...
The next moment, the frying pan appeared again!
Once more, it retracted.
In the next few moments, the pan was seen moving up and down. However, no person appeared in front of him!
Not only Aimpr, but many Western audience members suddenly understood Li Muqiu’s intentions.
It was an act of incitement!
It was also an invitation to a duel to the death!
It was just like how the characters in The Count of Monte Cristo threw their gloves at each other.
This act of Li Muqiu shaking his ck frying pan made many Western audience members renew their outlook on life...
After discovering his opponent’s intentions, Aimpr’s tightly-stretched lips twitched slightly.
To ept the challenge, or not?
If his opponent had rushed up recklessly to him while holding a frying pan, Aimpr would not have taken the risk and instead fired his gun at the former’s face.
However, he saw that the opponent was staying put, and he understood what his opponent wanted.
It was simple.
If you want my head, then show your sincerity.
The next moment, Aimpr pulled out his ‘sincerity’ from behind him. It was seen in his hands, a shiny ck frying pan.
The live audience and stream viewers were shocked upon witnessing the scene!
“F*ck! What kind of cooperation is this?”
“Is this the highlight of tonight’s tournament: The Frying Pan Smackdown Championship?”
“All your pride and glory is on the frying pan now, Guru Qiu! p his brains out!”
“It would’ve been good if Vic were there. His pan can block even Sexypig’s shotgun st.”
“I haven’t seen Guru Qiu wield a frying pan before? I think there’s something fishy going on...”
In the game, after rying his intentions for a long time, Li Muqiu climbed up the hill and stuck his head out to peek at his opponent.
Aimpr was prone and in his hands was a pan. He wielded it while looking at Li Muqiu.
Their eyes connected!
Their understandings were mutual.
A fight between men meant that one of them had to go down like a man.
Li Muqiu turned around to look in the direction of SKK. Then, he swiftly stood up and went around to Aimpr’s side of the hill.
Over there, they could avoid SKK’s line of sight. However, they could not stand straight.
Thus, Li Muqiu and Aimpr were seen half-crouching behind the hill, and in their hands a frying pan each.
Without the pans in their hands, they would have looked like two sumo wrestlers who were sizing up each other before a confrontation.
Zoom!
Aimpr, with his back bent, struck first!
His feet dug into the grass, and he dashed forward!
Whoosh!
The shining ck frying pan was iled toward Li Muqiu, and it carried enough force to smash the heavens and the earth.
However, Li Muqiu fought motion with stillness.
Just as the pan was about to hit him, he dodged sideways with a quick step.
The next moment, his view turned one hundred and eighty degrees. Then with a backhand, he mmed his pan on the back of Aimpr’s head!
A sessful backstab!
Duang!
The crisp sound of steel crashing into a person’s skull rang throughout the arena!
Aimpr flew forward as he was still running. He fell face-first to the ground.
“Se7en-Lech killed TSM-Aimpr by headshot with Pan!”
The victor was dered in the blink of an eye!
Upon witnessing this scene, the two Western livementators were cross-eyed for a second. However, they then called out for their gods at the top of their voices!
They hadmentated on countless PUBG matches before, but they had never seen two yers ditch their guns and go back to the era of cold weapons...
On Hua Xia’smentary tform.
“Haha, Guru Qiu has countered motion with stillness!” Lord Rong let out a long sigh of relief. He then continued speaking, “Also, to be frank, the kid from TSM was rather sporting.”
Su Changming nodded and said, “Yup. The best oue for both of them was that they resolved their problems without alerting SKK.”
“However, SKK is moving very fast. Vic did not have the chance to kill the yer he had knocked out earlier with his thousand-mile sniper shot. Now, that yer has been revived,” Ruo Feng said with furrowed brows as he watched the tournament screen.
“We can see that there are only 13 teams and 43 yers left on the battlefield at this moment. In the area between Widow Vige and Water Town, the teams who had subpar positions have almost been eliminated.”
“This is what you call natural selection and survival of the fittest. It works the same in PUBG.”
“We’ll have to see where the circle goes next. If it refreshes to Water Town, that would be very good news for the three yers of 4AM.”
“That’s right. If the circle moves toward them, it’s not hyperbole to say that the entire hill area toward the south is under their control. Any team that tries to enter the y area from there will have to go past their ‘border security check’.”
“What do you mean by ‘border security check’?”
“Haha, sure you can enter the safe zone. Please leave your guns and your lives here!”
“...”
As time continued to pass, the sounds of gunfire at the hilly area grew sparse.
The teams who had been fighting earlier had been forced to do so. The survivors had gained footing within the safe zone and therefore did not need to actively pick fights with others before the next circle refreshed.
After a short while, the edges of the spreading blue circle coincided with the boundaries of the y area.
The next circle appeared!
For the teams that were situated northwest of Water Town and Ruins, their faces darkened when they saw the new circle...
