Chapter 153: She Is Here; Can He Be Far Behind?

The Airport.

As the gunshots gradually intensified, several plumes of white smoke appeared on the path leading from the large warehouse to the C-Buildings.

Someone had popped smoke!

Clearly, someone was about to make a push.

It was the people from the large warehouse.

Just as the white smoke filled the surrounding area, two figures suddenly darted out from the large warehouse, charging straight into the newly formed smoke.

"Holy shit, who are these two? So aggressive?"

"They do look a bit unfamiliar."

"I know them. One of them is a streamer under Galaxy TV. Not very famous, but his skills are pretty decent. He had some eye-catching performances in the earlier qualifiers."

"They're really going all out!"

"He's a bit too bold, but I'm not very optimistic about him."

These two players suddenly making such a move during the match immediately caught the viewers' attention, sparking a discussion among them.

Due to their lack of fame, not many people knew who they were.

Although their performances in the preliminary rounds had successfully drawn some attention from a fraction of the audience, only a minority truly remembered them.

However, as they initiated the assault, people began to pay attention to them once again.

At the caster desk, Xiao Qi and Xiao Mo naturally noticed the movements of these two players.

While many viewers didn't recognize them, both Xiao Mo and Xiao Qi knew who they were.

It wasn't because they had any legendary backgrounds or experiences, but simply because they were one of the few minor streamers who had clawed their way up from the qualifiers.

Previously, neither Xiao Qi nor Xiao Mo had barely heard of them.

However, as the invited commentators for this tournament, they naturally needed to review the data of every participating player beforehand, and these two were included.

Having a deep understanding of each competitor greatly helped when analyzing players' tactics and intentions during the live broadcast.

Only in this way could they provide the audience with accurate and exciting live commentary.

Therefore, Xiao Qi and Xiao Mo knew who they were.

"...Their move is far too risky. To begin with, Chasing Wind Youth and Ling Xue'er in the C-Buildings spotted them long ago, and then there's Porky Brother and Shen Muxi eyeing them covetously from the K-Buildings. Rushing out like this makes it very easy to get caught in a crossfire."

During the live stream, commentator Xiao Qi's voice rang out, and many viewers nodded in deep agreement.

Just as Xiao Qi finished speaking, Xiao Mo seamlessly chimed in: "Not just that. Besides those two teams, there are still players hidden in the A-Building and K-Buildings respectively."

Clearly, both Xiao Mo and Xiao Qi were not optimistic about their assault.

Meanwhile, the minor streamer leading the charge was under immense pressure.

Yet at this very moment, his heart was filled with excitement.

Through the recent exchange of gunfire, he had tentatively confirmed that the remaining two players in the C-Buildings were most likely the rising Chasing Wind Youth and Lin Zijin's teammate, Ling Xue'er.

It was precisely because of this realization that he decisively launched an attack on the C-Buildings, even while knowing that players were lurking in areas like the K-Buildings.

He wanted to become famous!

Having fought his way here from the qualifiers, he had already tasted the sweet fruits of success.

Originally, before signing up for this tournament, his live stream channel only had a few thousand viewers. But after entering the qualifiers and making it to the grand finals, he successfully leveraged his performance to capture a portion of the audience. His channel's popularity had now broken past ten thousand viewers and was still growing significantly.

If he and his teammate could successfully defeat Chasing Wind Youth and Ling Xue'er in this match...

He believed his performance would draw the attention of even more people.

And with that would come a surge in popularity.

However, his ideas were great, but making them a reality was no easy task.

The gunshots had already rung out.

The enemy's target was coming straight for them.

Suddenly, when a knockdown notification flashed across the screen, a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

Just a moment ago, the teammate who had entered the smoke was gunned down by enemy fire.

The smoke was gradually dissipating.

His mind racing, while sprinting toward a nearby piece of cover, the player rapidly tossed a smoke grenade toward the spot where his teammate had fallen.

Right at that moment, commentator Xiao Qi, who had been watching his movements, quickly spoke up: "That reaction... very decisive. At this point, the previous smoke is about to fade. If he insists on staying here to revive his teammate, he'll likely expose his position. Instead, his choice is to protect himself while deploying more smoke to cover his teammate..."

Just as Xiao Qi reached this point and was about to continue, a sudden change occurred in the match.

A gunshot abruptly echoed from outside the airport.

The appearance of this single gunshot not only shocked everyone inside the airport but also left the audience watching the live stream momentarily stunned.

"Tomato and Qingqing Zijin used an M24 to headshot-kill Galaxy Liangyu."

At the same time, a kill notification refreshed in the game.

The player who had been killed was none other than the one who had gone down in the smoke just moments before.

"Lin Zijin?"

At this moment, the player who had just thrown a smoke grenade for his teammate and was preparing to secure him froze entirely as he watched his teammate suddenly drop dead.

What terrified him even more was the appearance of Lin Zijin.

How did she show up here?

A cold sweat immediately began to break out all over his body.

If it were just a moment ago, he might have been able to withstand the pressure and attempt another push.

However, with Lin Zijin's arrival, he was now trapped in a helpless predicament where advancing or retreating was equally fatal.

If his guess was correct, the suddenly appearing Lin Zijin had already locked onto him.

A sense of crisis instantly surged through him.

The sudden gunfire instantly startled everyone in the airport.

The airport fell into a dead, suffocating silence.

Lin Zijin's appearance completely stirred up the muddy waters of the airport.

No one expected that all the gunfire in the airport would vanish completely simply because Lin Zijin made a move.

At the same time, the players remaining in the airport frowned deeply because of that single shot fired by Lin Zijin.

An M24!

Aside from Lin Zijin herself, their focus was squarely on this terrifyingly powerful sniper rifle.

Barely minutes into the start of the match, Lin Zijin had already secured such a lethal weapon.

This was undeniably extremely disadvantageous for them.

Just as the others felt uneasy due to Lin Zijin's arrival, Ling Xue'er and Shen Muxi in the game also grew a bit more tense.

As Lin Zijin's teammates, they naturally knew how terrifying Lin Zijin could be.

Meanwhile, Yao Cheng and Zhu Ziyuan, who were likewise feeling a sense of foreboding in their hearts, weren't thinking about Lin Zijin at the moment, but rather about someone else entirely.

Since she's here, can *he* be far behind?

Thinking of a certain figure, both Yao Cheng and Zhu Ziyuan couldn't help but feel a dull ache in their teeth.

This bastard, don't tell me he's coming to stir up trouble again, right?
