Chapter 134: May You Rest in Peace in Heaven! (First Update!)

First knocking down a teammate, then blowing up the vehicle to eliminate oneself—what kind of move is that? Is that giving up on treatment? The audience expressed their utter confusion. Not only them, but even Xiao Qi and Xiao Mo at the commentary desk were stunned. This was just too interesting, wasn't it?

Meanwhile, upon seeing this situation, the remaining players in the match grew completely excited once they realized what had happened. The two most threatening opponents had been eliminated in such a manner. Now, their hopes of claiming the final victory had increased significantly.

At this moment, in the Jiangling residential complex, Lin Zijin also looked at the notification on her computer screen with a dazed expression. If one were to observe closely, they might have noticed that her typically cool and aloof face carried a faint, sheepish, and awkward smile. Behind her, Lu Ziqi, Shen Muxi, and Ling Xue'er, who had been spectating for a long time, were filled with astonishment as they recalled the scene that had just unfolded.

That particular scenario was all too familiar to them. After all, it had happened more than once before. If one were to count, that was already the third time. With similar sequences of events repeatedly playing out for Yang Hao, as bystanders, Lu Ziqi, Shen Muxi, and Ling Xue'er felt a sense of pity. "Brother Huyu is truly miserable!" They silently mourned for Yang Hao.

Lin Zijin turned her head and, seeing their expressions that were hard to describe, felt a rare flush creep up her cheeks. She averted her gaze slightly. "Uh, I’m hungry. Sister Ziqi, is there any bread left in the fridge?"

"Oh, it seems there is. Let me help you look for it."

"Great!"

"Yeah, I’m actually a bit hungry too."

Watching Lu Ziqi and Ling Xue'er so obviously change the subject, Lin Zijin was left speechless. Under her gaze, the two exchanged a few words and slowly made their way toward the door. When Lin Zijin’s eyes fell upon Shen Muxi, who was still standing there, Shen Muxi blinked, then seemed to suddenly snap to her senses and said to Lin Zijin, "I’ll go down and check. They probably don't know where the fridge is!" With that, she fled the room as if escaping.

Lin Zijin was once again struck speechless. Not knowing where the fridge is? She didn't believe it for a second. They had lived here for so long; how could they not know where the fridge was? Anyone could see they were changing the subject. However, even if she knew, she couldn't call them out. If she did, wouldn't she be the one feeling embarrassed?

Recalling the scene that had just occurred in the game, Lin Zijin turned her head slightly to look toward the house where Yang Hao resided and couldn't help but let out a soft laugh. Unconsciously, her mind drifted through the entire process of these qualifiers. She had been trapped on the spawn island while Yang Hao landed in K-City, facing numerous enemies single-handedly, painting the city red with his own gun! Then, Yang Hao had ventured deep into the blue zone, traveling thousands of miles just to find her. Afterward, the two of them ran from the zone together; although the journey was monotonous, Lin Zijin didn't find it boring because she had his company. There was even the amusing incident where he tried to "nurture" her with bandages. Later, Yang Hao took her for a wild ride, sparking her interest in racing, and they sped off together. In the end, Yang Hao became trapped in an airdrop ambush and launched a desperate counterattack; when he was in dire straits, Lin Zijin arrived just in time to fire the most crucial shot. They fought side by side, two people against a sea of enemies. From that point on, a storm of blood began, yet they remained inseparable in life and death. If not for that final moment, they would likely still be in the match.

Although this was just an ordinary game, the memory of everything that had happened made Lin Zijin feel a strange, warm glow in her heart. Whether in reality or in the game... it’s so good to have you.

Meanwhile, in the live stream, the contestants had already entered the final circle. In the corner of the screen, the director had pulled up the replay of the accident between Yang Hao and Lin Zijin. The match was at a critical juncture, as the final circle always brought the most intense tension and the highest viewership. Yet, it seemed few were paying attention to that, as everyone was glued to the small replay window.

"Are you kidding me? The replay is so small, how are we supposed to see this?"
"Director in the back, I strongly demand you switch the screen back to the final circle."
"Mmmm, I agree with this sentiment."
"The replay is the highlight, please keep your priorities straight, thanks!"
"Damn, thank goodness my vision is 20/20, or I'd beat up the director."
"Heh, my screen is 4K, I can see it perfectly."
"Hey, don't waste time, bring my 4K screen over here, or no tip for you later."

The live stream chat was in chaos. However, as a motorcycle appeared in the video, everyone gradually quieted down. The spamming slowed as everyone wanted to see exactly what happened next. Not only the viewers, but even Xiao Qi and Xiao Mo at the commentary desk had little interest in describing the current match, their eyes occasionally drifting to the replay in distraction. This was something that had almost never happened to them before.

One could only say that the bizarre elimination of Yang Hao and Lin Zijin was simply too curious to ignore. In the footage, they saw it again: the motorcycle soaring into the sky. They had seen this scene countless times throughout the qualifiers. It was the same two familiar figures. The one driving was Lin Zijin. Upon seeing the driver, many people had an ominous feeling. Recalling previous "traffic accidents" and the system notifications that had just appeared, many were already mentally filling in the blanks. Some didn't even need to watch the rest of the replay to guess what was about to happen.

Sure enough! As the motorcycle soared, a figure fell from it mid-air. In the next instant, the motorcycle completed a 360-degree backflip in the air and crashed vertically. The most devastating part was that the falling motorcycle landed squarely on Yang Hao, who had just hit the ground after his own fall. In an instant, Yang Hao was dead!

Yet, it didn't end there. The motorcycle hit the ground with a loud boom! Its durability had already been low, and in the violent collision, it exploded instantly! A flash of fire erupted, and Lin Zijin, still sitting on the bike, fell as well. Seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded. They were completely stunned! This was even more absurd than they had imagined! They were truly humbled by Lin Zijin's driving skills! Even if she was a goddess, they couldn't bring themselves to praise her driving. Female drivers, indeed, were all the same! Even a goddess was no exception!

At the same time, their eyes fell upon Yang Hao, who had turned into a crate. Looking at his remains, many sighed deep in their hearts. Unconsciously thinking of Yang Hao's consecutive tragic experiences, they silently mourned for him... for three seconds. Brother Huyu, safe travels! May you find peace in heaven!
