Trust (2)

The expression of Wen Yan, who had immediately noticed this difficult situation, became frigid!

But while everyone thought everything had been concluded by this sniper, Exist’s avatar suddenly emitted a surge of dark radiance.

That was—

Everything happened in the twinkling of an eye.

The “concluding gunshot” vanished into that halo amidst everyone’s astonished gazes!

“Holy?!”

“Fuck?!!”

“A shield chip?!”

The whole room boiled with excitement.

When Xue Lan had engaged in a solo game with Wen Yan before, he narrowly saved himself using a shield. If one could argue that the previous instance might have been mere luck, this moment would silence all those who considered him just “lucky.”

Before anyone could recover from their shock, he had rushed into the shelter Deng Ruiqiu was hiding at earlier. In one fell swoop, he eliminated the hiding medic.

This series of actions was completely fast and ruthless. The training room erupted with cheers again.

But Xue Lan stealthily blocked his viewpoint and hid well, using this moment of respite to administer a healing injection.

Exist: Head to a high vantage point.

Meng Weiran swiftly moved and rejoined Xue Lan.

“That way,” Xue Lan said in a solemn, deep voice as his gaze fixed on the location where the sniper might be hiding at.

There were two shelters. One behind and one in front.

And the sniper played steady. Even in such terrain, he only shot one bullet. Xue Lan could determine the direction of incoming bullets, but with such back-to-back shelter, there was no way for him to determine which one was the person’s hiding place.

Both location points might not be hard to feel around, but once they chose the wrong one, they would be offering themselves in front of the enemy’s gun again.

“What if we split up.” Meng Weiran marked both points and muttered, “You go to point A. I’ll go to point B.”

His health had recovered to almost twenty percent. Even if he couldn’t take down that cunning sniper, he could create an opening for Xue Lan.

However, while healing himself, Xue Lan looked in the direction where the bullet came from, becoming lost in thought.

He could see that that sniper was being way too careful.

If he had fired two shots, Xue Lan believed he could identify his location, but under such an urgent situation, and with one bullet shot from an extremely far distance, Xue Lan honestly was unable to pinpoint where the other party was hiding.

Whether they chose to draw attention or dart toward separate vantage points, both scenarios held tremendous risk. With both of them wounded and the enemy concealed, navigating either situation would be equally risky.

But while he contemplated…

“Point B.”

Duan Wenzheng’s low voice was transmitted through the group’s voice channel. Xue Lan’s gaze subconsciously followed his words and settled on the shelter at the high vantage point.

“You saw it?” Qi Siyu also asked in a low voice.

“Just a guess.”

“…”

“If it were me, I would choose to hide there.”

This kind of way to compare one’s action to the enemy’s was after all too audacious and risky. Qi Siyu and Meng Weiran couldn’t help raising their eyebrows.

After all, if the person was not at Point B, they would completely be exposed to the enemy’s gunpoint.

Waiting for him to revive was undeniably too late because although the revival time was long, the revival time of both sides was about the same. As long as the opponent sniper insisted on retreating, they, in no way, could possibly coerce the person to stay.

All of this contemplation and choices only took away more of Xue Lan’s healing time.

“Wait until someone revives…” Qi Siyu said, “Or Weiran, you can draw attention…”

The words had barely left his mouth when Xue Lan signaled to Meng Weiran. “Let’s go.”

Meng Weiran, previously hesitant, swiftly heeded the instruction and raised his rifle, falling into step.

Disbelief etched across Qi Siyu’s face as he witnessed the usually gentle demeanor transform into an unwavering resolve. For a moment, he forgot what he wanted to say.

Xue Lan advanced with Meng Weiran toward point B.

Their action aroused fright and doubt within the spectators.

Meng Qi retracted his gaze from the broadcast screen, casting a sidelong glance at the figure in the corner.

“Why are they…” Zhou Kanqing couldn’t help muttering. He turned to Wen Yan with surprised eyes.

Wen Yan’s gaze fixated grimly on the broadcast screen, his eyes scanning past the supply station scene within the game interface. Finally, they settled on that figure with resolute actions.

Duan Wenzheng’s eyes similarly traced Xue Lan’s resolute actions. Though his gaze appeared relaxed, the hand resting on the edge of the seat was clenched.

Xue Lan, together with Meng Weiran swiftly reached point B. Under everyone’s tense attention, they took cover behind the last shelter.

Qi Siyu’s thoughts weren’t without reason. If the enemy sniper was not in point B, they could lose this game in a blink of an eye. But Xue Lan would rather take the risk and try it out because, with the other two options, there was a high risk that the enemy would destroy them one by one. Furthermore…

He trusted Duan Wenzheng.

If their assault was successful, they could win this game, but if they failed, both of them would be exposed to the sniper’s viewing range.

This intense gamble made the spectators hold their breath in anticipation.

Xue Lan’s gaze was also firmly fixed on the marked shelter.

He slightly adjusted his headset. In the still silence, the extremely low voice entered Meng Weiran’s ears…

“Charge.”

The next second, two of them dashed in the direction of that shelter together!
