Landed.
He quickly scanned the area and the sky. Nobody had landed nearby. In a good mood, Chen Zhao climbed through a window and started searching the house.
Bandages, cola, a Level 2 Backpack, a Level 2 Helmet...
After searching a few small houses, Chen Zhao was already decked out in Level 2 gear, carrying an AKM and an S686. He had about a hundred rounds of 7.62 ammo and twenty shotgun shells. It wasn't much, but it should be enough for a brief firefight.
He found a jeep by the roadside, got in, and sped off along the road in search of people to kill.
That was right: he was looking for people to kill. With his current shooting accuracy, Chen Zhao was practically invincible. Taking on players in a casual match like this would be as easy as mowing down grass, wouldn't it?
He hadn't driven far when he heard intense gunfire coming from the center of P City.
Chen Zhao promptly parked the jeep on the outskirts of P City, got out, raised his AKM, and crept toward the gunfire.
The gunshots were incredibly fierce. It sounded like two full squads were in a firefight!
The livestream chat began buzzing:
"Isn't a solo player in squads supposed to find somewhere to hide? He's actually going to fight them?"
"Taking on one or two is one thing, but why get involved when two squads are fighting?"
"Is he planning to get himself killed?"
"Welp, the streamer's a goner. Countdown to his doom..."
"It's over. The streamer's about to become a loot crate..."
The viewers all thought Chen Zhao was doomed. Going up against a bunch of people alone? Of course he was going to get killed!
Chen Zhao hadn't noticed what was happening in the livestream chat. His attention was fully focused as he scanned the buildings ahead.
Suddenly, an enemy appeared behind the garage, then ducked back behind the wall to heal. He must have been low on health from the firefight and had come here to recover.
The enemy hadn't seen Chen Zhao, but Chen Zhao had seen him!
He swiftly raised the AKM and fired without hesitation, landing a headshot!
[You knocked out Whoever Hits Me Is My Grandson with a headshot from your AKM]
Chen Zhao was delighted at first. As expected, a low-health enemy was easy to hit. One shot and he was down.
Then he got furious. Whoever Hits Me Is My Grandson? What an infuriating username!
No way. He had to kill him!
And not just with a simple bullet. He had to blow him to smithereens to feel satisfied!
Since the enemy was behind a wall, Chen Zhao couldn't see him after knocking him down. He could only guess where he was on the ground. After getting knocked down, he would definitely crawl around and try to escape, so predicting his position wouldn't be easy. But for Chen Zhao, it was no big deal!
He quickly tossed two grenades, throwing them to two different spots behind the wall.
After a brief wait, blasts of smoke and dust billowed into the air. A notification appeared on the screen:
[You killed Whoever Hits Me Is My Grandson with a frag grenade]
The gunfire stopped just then. One squad must have escaped or been wiped out, but there would definitely still be enemies around. Chen Zhao switched to the S686 and turned to enter a two-story building.
He switched to the S686 because the double-barreled shotgun could knock out an enemy indoors faster than anything else. It was known as the "Equalizer" for a reason. Whether you had a Level 2 helmet or a Level 3 one, whether you were low on health or at full health, two blasts would put you on your knees!
Chen Zhao went upstairs and checked every room, but found no enemies. He switched from the S686 to the AKM, then crept over to the balcony to look outside.
The balcony offered a clear view of the road that ran through P City. A few meters ahead, a sedan had been blown up and was still burning fiercely. Four loot crates sat in a neat row a few meters from the car. Some guns and ammo had been dropped beside them. It looked like someone had already looted the crates and swapped weapons.
Chen Zhao was sure the looter hadn't gone far, so he pulled out a Smoke Grenade and tossed it.
The Smoke Grenade popped in the middle of the road, hissing as smoke poured out.
Chen Zhao held his breath and waited. If there were enemies nearby, they might come investigate the mysterious smoke. Then he could shoot them dead!
Suddenly, a grenade flew out of a window in a nearby building and landed in the smoke, where it exploded with a bang. Someone was clearly hiding in that building. They must have seen the strange smoke appear in the street and tossed a grenade to test it out.
Chen Zhao's spirits lifted. There really were still enemies around!
He fixed his gaze on the little building the grenade had come from, waiting for the enemy to show himself.
But the smoke grenade's effect ran out, and the smoke cleared from the street without the enemy ever coming out.
What a patient little coward.
If you weren't coming out, fine! I'd bring the bullets to you!
Chen Zhao switched to the close-range king, the S686, leaped off the balcony, and sprinted toward the building he'd marked! It was close, and within seconds, Chen Zhao had burst through the door!
As soon as he entered, he saw an enemy crouched in the corner, aiming an M416 at the doorway!
"Boom! Boom!" Chen Zhao fired two shots in quick succession!
Both were headshots!
[You knocked out lulaoye with a headshot from your S686]
[You killed lulaoye with a headshot from your S686]
Two notifications appeared in quick succession. The enemy on the floor had turned into a loot crate.
Chen Zhao realized that he'd been streaming for a while without saying anything to his viewers, so he began to speak:
"Take a look at the guy I just blasted. He's a classic example of how not to defend a building."
"Waiting in a corner is a reasonable choice, but he was lying on the floor, and that was a huge mistake."
"When you're prone, your aim is restricted. If the enemy starts moving, it's hard to hit him, and you can't move quickly to dodge bullets. You're basically a sitting duck. No wonder he died!"
"If you really want to defend a first-floor room, you can crouch in a corner instead. That makes less of your body exposed to gunfire, and you won't have the same aiming restrictions."
"In this game, luck and skill each account for half of the outcome. Skill, in turn, comes down to aim and tactical awareness. I'll share more tips with you as we go."
Chen Zhao finished speaking, satisfied that he'd explained things pretty well.
He was just about to switch to the livestream and see whether the viewers agreed or disagreed with his advice when he suddenly heard a voice above him.
"Hey, are you a streamer?"
Chen Zhao instantly realized that there was another enemy on the second floor!
And the voice was lovely, soft and sweet. It belonged to a girl!
Of course, it could also have been a grown man using a voice changer. These days, you never knew whether a long-haired beauty might have bought herself an electric razor,
"I'm a streamer, and a pretty skilled one," Chen Zhao said, looking up toward the second floor. "Everyone who's ever met me has turned into a loot crate. So don't bother struggling. Come down quietly, and I'll give you a dignified death."
"Don't kill me! We're in the same line of work!" the girl on the second floor said hurriedly.
"The same line of work?" Chen Zhao asked, taken aback. "You're a streamer too?"
"I've been talking all this time. You still haven't figured out who I am?" The other person sounded both upset and a little angry.
