Chapter 104
Swoosh!
Forget about footsteps.
Even breathing felt burdensome.
The final safe zone of this game.
The players gathered at the ‘Corrupted Cathedral’ were each watching for opportunities while defending their positions.
‘Almost there. Now if I just take out the guys here…!’
The player with the nickname ‘Dunkin Ace’ steeled his resolve while surveying the surroundings.
Next to him, his partner ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ was aiming a sniper rifle.
【Current survivors remaining: 10】
Even if it wasn’t a ranked game, chicken was always precious.
And now that chicken was right before their eyes.
“Do we need to keep holding the sniper rifle? I think all the guys who were going to come are already here.”
“Not sure yet. There are guys who ride the Red Zone and come in at the last moment.”
“I see. As expected, skilled players have different judgment!”
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ praised ‘Dunkin Ace’.
When playing duo games, it’s common to follow the words of higher tier players.
Narato’s tier was Bronze.
Dunkin Ace was Silver.
From higher tier players’ perspective, they might look like birds of a feather, but even lower tiers had their own rules.
It was when ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ was checking outside the cathedral here and there with his sniper rifle.
Boom!
“Ugh… What was that?”
Suddenly the entire cathedral shook greatly and dust fell from the ceiling.
‘Dunkin Ace’ shouldered his gun and aimed at various spots.
But there was nothing.
It didn’t seem like something that happened around the cathedral.
Something big that happened a bit further away…
“Ace! Ace!”
“What’s so urgent? What’s wrong?”
“There’s something flying this way!”
“This way? You mean toward the cathedral? What is it?”
‘Dunkin Ace’ tilted his head sideways.
If it was a ‘person’ approaching while avoiding the Red Zone, that would make sense.
But an object?
The expression was somehow strange.
However, what ‘Dunkin Ace’ would hear next
was beyond strange and into shocking territory.
“A car!”
“What.”
“A car is flying toward us! We need to dodge!”
“What kind of nonsense is that!”
“It’s, it’s coming! Aaaaah!”
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ threw down his sniper rifle and fled out the window.
At that sight, ‘Dunkin Ace’s face contorted with anger.
“That, that pathetic guy! That’s why he’s Bronze!”
It was when ‘Dunkin Ace’ was shouting while fully displaying his Silver tier pride.
Suddenly there was a sound like a bomb exploding from the ceiling, and a meteorite fell.
Crash!
Thud!
“Argh!”
‘Dunkin Ace’ was blown far away by the shockwave.
Even though he wasn’t directly hit by the meteorite, 70% of his health was gone.
“What is this… Armageddon?”
It felt like the game genre had suddenly changed.
‘Dunkin Ace’ drew his gun and carefully approached.
Thick dust was covering the surrounding area from the impact just moments ago.
“This is…”
‘Dunkin Ace’s freckled cheeks twitched.
The identity of the meteorite that suddenly fell from the sky
was none other than a Retona.
“What’s going on? Is this a physics engine bug?”
A car that came down from the sky, breaking through the cathedral roof.
He thought Survival Ground had gone completely crazy.
Then suddenly, ‘Dunkin Ace’ recalled the situation from just before.
[A car is flying this way! You need to dodge!]
His partner.
It was what ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ had said.
“No way, really?”
Was that not just nonsense?
Of course, there were supply boxes and a few other things that fell from the sky.
But cars were definitely not on that list.
What the hell.
What on earth was happening?
Beep… beep…
‘Dunkin Ace’ approached the vehicle with narrowed eyes.
Naturally, its condition was a complete mess.
The front bumper and hood were completely crumpled from crashing to the ground,
and all the glass windows were shattered.
Especially the bottom part of the Retona was blown away as if hit by a bomb, leaving no trace of its original form.
If there had been a player inside, they would have died a hundred times over.
Beep… beep…
However, ‘Dunkin Ace’s steps were extremely cautious.
A strange electronic sound was coming from inside the wrecked Retona.
It sounded like a communication signal.
Or maybe an old retro game console.
‘Dunkin Ace’ finally approached the window side of the Retona.
He waved his arm to clear away the dust and looked inside the vehicle.
“What is this…?”
The inside of the Retona was packed full with dozens of items.
They were even carefully wrapped in soft cushioning material in case they might explode during the crash.
The name of those items was ‘Smoke Grenade’.
And next to them,
Beep… beep…
It wasn’t a communication signal or a retro game console.
‘Dunkin Ace’, having identified what the object was, spat out a curse.
“Shit.”
BOOOOOOM!
Another thunderous roar erupted from inside the cathedral.
The object that had been placed alongside the smoke grenades was none other than a C4 bomb.
“What kind of crazy bastard is thiiiiiis!”
‘Dunkin Ace’ flew away like a rocket, leaving behind what sounded like last words.
What had just happened to him.
‘Dunkin Ace’ couldn’t even begin to process his thoughts.
Throwing a Retona loaded with C4 bombs into the cathedral.
What kind of maniac would pull off such an outrageous stunt?
Whoooosh!
As the bomb exploded spectacularly, dozens of smoke grenades that had been stored with it simultaneously performed their function.
It felt like watching the cloud formation process in fast-forward.
In an instant, the entire cathedral area was shrouded in thick smoke.
“Ace! Where are you!”
In the white smoke where nothing was visible.
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ entered the hall again.
Making loud noises in this kind of game was tantamount to suicide.
It would completely expose your position.
But,
‘What does it matter. You can’t see anything right now anyway.’
Whether you closed your eyes or kept them open, there was virtually no difference.
A situation where you couldn’t even see your own arm waving right in front of your face.
The reason no gunfire could be heard after the explosion was probably for the same reason.
“Where the hell did he go?”
It was when ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ was searching for ‘Dunkin Ace’ in the thick smoke.
Thud thud.
Footsteps that stimulated his ears.
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ gulped nervously.
‘Someone is coming…!’
The only place that could be identified in this smoke.
Confident footsteps could be heard from that direction.
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ had a gun in his hand.
However, it didn’t mean much.
His skill level was Bronze.
Even without the smoke grenades, he didn’t have the skill to accurately aim at distant targets.
Thud thud.
The footsteps grew louder.
Evidence that the distance was closing.
As if saying ‘shoot if you’re going to shoot,’ his footsteps were unwavering.
“Damn it! Don’t look down on me!”
Bang! Bang!
The enraged ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ finally fired his gun.
But as expected.
No kill log appeared.
“Damn! What the hell are you thinking? How do you plan to fight?”
Then.
A hoarse voice was heard right next to him.
“With two fists.”
“?!”
When did he get so close?
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ felt his heart sink.
His pale head turned to the side.
There was a man wearing ridiculous mini sunglasses.
“What, what the hell!”
“Woohyooooot!”
The man wearing sunglasses.
Joint struck ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’s’ wrist.
“Argh!”
‘Eyeball Duel Narato’ dropped the gun from his hand.
No matter how terrible his aim was, having a gun or not was the difference between heaven and earth.
“Who do you think this body is!”
Soon, an intense bare-handed combat began between Joint and ‘Eyeball Duel Narato.’
Thump! Thwack!
“This body is none other than Iron Fist National Team alumni! Super popular streamer Joint-nim!”
“Shut up, you crazy bastard… Ugh!”
“Woohyooooo!”
Joint’s Survival Ground tier was ‘Bronze.’
It was a low tier, but it wasn’t completely rock bottom.
The lowest tier in Survival Ground was ‘Abyss.’
Despite his terrible shooting skills, why hadn’t Joint fallen to ‘Abyss’?
Thwack! Thump!
It was thanks to his bare-handed fighting skills honed in fighting games.
【’Joint’ has eliminated ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’!】
As if he had won in a fighting game, Joint struck a victory pose.
“Haha! This body is someone who has more bare-handed kills than gun kills!”
His first kill finally achieved after playing duo games.
Joint’s viewers also became lively for the first time in a while.
-Who do you think this body is!(Bronze)
-Iron Fist National Team alumni(fact) super popular streamer(lie)
-Hahahahaha don’t say it so loud, it’s embarrassing!
-Anyone watching would think you’re some chicken-eating pro lol getting 1 kill and acting all cocky, damn
-Having more melee kills than gun kills in an FPS is something to be proud of? lololololol
-Sigh.. why is the embarrassment always ours to bear ㅠㅠ
Although these weren’t the chats Joint wanted.
Still, it was fine.
What’s scarier than hate comments are no comments at all.
As the chat window that had been quiet all this time became active,
Joint’s voice grew louder.
【’Joint’ has eliminated ‘Eyeball Duel Narato’!】
【’Gwanjong Cheonma’ has eliminated ‘Dunkin Ace’!】
As the duo both fell into unconscious state, they lost their chance to revive.
Now six people remained.
Excluding Hae-rang and Joint’s duo, only four people were left.
“We caught the guys inside the hall for now, but what about the rest? It was nice coming here easily thanks to the smoke, but this way we can’t find them either.”
“The rest are all on the second floor.”
“What?”
Joint’s eyes widened greatly behind his sunglasses.
“How do you know that? Can you see them in this smoke?”
“Yes. Brother, take the second floor A section. I’ll handle B section. Let’s finish this quickly before the smoke clears.”
Joint hesitated for a moment.
Not because he was afraid of facing two guys at once.
Because he wasn’t certain whether Hae-rang’s words were true.
‘He definitely came in with me. You can’t see anything here unless it’s right in front of you.’
Creak.
But Joint’s worries didn’t last long.
Gwanjong Cheonma’s past games flashed through his mind.
Right.
When had This Guy ever played the game like a ‘normal person’?
Joint clacked the knuckles in his hand together and let out a big puff of breath.
“Alright! Leave it to me!”
Joint climbed the stairs with fumbling hands.
Then he clicked his tongue as if amazed.
He could actually hear the duo chattering in A Section.
“Who do you think I am! Woohyoooooo!”
“What the hell is wrong with this crazy bastard!”
The sound of fierce struggle could be heard from within the thick smoke.
Even a rotten fish has some fight left in it.
‘Joint’s’ bare-handed combat was indeed above average.
【’Joint’ has eliminated ‘Rejuran Hurts’!】
“Huff… gasp!”
Now only ‘Joint’ and ‘Botox Hurts’ remained in this area.
As the smoke cleared, their figures gradually became visible to each other.
Both had dark bruises around their eyes and were breathing heavily enough to make their shoulders heave.
From a glance, it looked like both had less than 10% health remaining.
“Aaaahhh!”
‘Joint’ and ‘Botox Hurts’ threw cross punches at each other.
Thwack!
Thud!
Cross counters that both landed on each other.
Of the two people frozen like a still frame, one body slowly slumped down.
“Damn… it…”
Joint tried to get up but it was impossible.
His health bar had already reached 0%, and a knockout indicator was displayed.
“I need to… help Gwanjong-i…”
That guy must be having a hard time facing two people alone.
The smoke was even starting to clear now.
This guy in front of him might start using a gun.
Bang! Bang!
“Eek!”
Sure enough.
Suddenly, familiar gunshots rang out from A Section.
Joint, who had been startled and convulsing, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
‘Wait… if the gunshots sound familiar…?’
Those exact gunshots he’d been hearing all day while playing the game.
The name of that gun was none other than the Win 94.
“No way…!”
Quickly.
And swiftly eliminating the players in A Section was the hunter.
As the smoke from the smoke grenade cleared, the hunter’s red chicken comb was clearly revealed.
