Chapter 79: The Divine Coordination of the Twin Snipers (Fifth Update!)

What on earth just happened?
Countless people were collectively dumbfounded.

The two teams engaged in battle inside the school were also left scratching their heads. The team whose sniper got taken out had a huge question gnawing at them: how did a Kar98k manage to blow through a level-three helmet?

The attacking team, upon noticing the opposing sniper had been taken down, was equally stunned. Has someone else joined the fray? The situation was starting to look rather grim.

In the broadcasting hall, a crowd of people sat in confusion—how had that person been so inexplicably shot in the head? Kar98k? The shot seemed to have come from those people on the hill near P Town earlier.

Inside the director’s room, when they saw the sniper wearing a level-three helmet get inexplicably headshot by a Kar98k, everyone’s minds went blank. The crucial detail was that Old Jiang realized the person who fired that Kar98k was none other than Yang Hao. This only made him more curious.

How on earth did Senior Yang Hao pull that off? A Kar98k blowing through a full health level-three helmet—that was simply beyond belief. Driven by curiosity, Old Jiang switched to Yang Hao’s perspective. Still on the hill near P Town! At that moment, they were watching the situation unfold at the school. From their position to the school, there were at least six or seven hundred meters between them. At such a distance, landing a headshot wasn’t impossible, but it was extremely difficult.

Old Jiang had faith in Yang Hao’s skills. But he refused to believe that, with just a Kar98k, Yang Hao could instantly kill a fully healthy player wearing a level-three helmet. That was impossible, unrealistic. No matter who it was, Old Jiang wouldn’t change his opinion. No matter how otherworldly someone’s skill was, it still had to comply with the game’s mechanics.

In this game, the Kar98k simply didn’t deal enough damage to down a fully healthy player wearing a level-three helmet in one shot. If it did happen, it could only mean there was a problem with the game.

As for cheating? The thought never crossed Old Jiang’s mind, nor could it. The absence of cheats was a universally accepted truth in this game. With the development of esports and robust legal systems, cheating had long since been eradicated from this world. If anything unexplainable occurred in-game, it could only mean there was a bug.

A level-three helmet getting blown off by a single Kar98k shot simply couldn’t be chalked up to game quirks. Could it be the game genuinely had a bug?

With this question in mind, Old Jiang rewound the footage, returning to the moment just before Yang Hao fired. In the game, Yang Hao and Zhu Ziyuan were watching the events unfold at the school.

The two teams there had engaged in combat. Soon, two players were knocked out by the enemy sniper. Just as the sniper on the school’s rooftop prepared to finish them off, Yang Hao and Zhu Ziyuan sprang into action.

An M24 and a Kar98k! Each aimed at a downed opponent.

Two gunshots rang out almost simultaneously.

The next second, two kill notifications popped up at the same time!

Old Jiang’s pupils contracted in shock. Six or seven hundred meters away—and a headshot! No, two headshots! This was… For a sniper of such caliber to appear, even one would be shocking enough. But two, firing and hitting simultaneously? That was terrifying.

Were the two of them betting on who could land the shot more accurately?

Moments later, the pair fired again.

Watching Yang Hao and Zhu Ziyuan’s actions, a sudden realization dawned on Old Jiang.

Once more, two shots rang out in near unison.

“Gentle Heart knocks out Blue Lake with a Kar98k headshot!”

Two shots—two headshots! No, in fact, the M24 struck first, and then the Kar98k bullet penetrated the level-three helmet. In other words, the sniper on the school roof wasn’t dropped by a single bullet, but by two—true dual-sniper tactics!

Old Jiang had seen players attempt this before, but the skill and coordination required were immense. Not to mention, this was from six or seven hundred meters away. At such a distance, even landing one headshot would be a remarkable feat of skill and luck.

If either party had made the slightest mistake, the headshot effect would have been lost.

Thinking this, Old Jiang’s gaze became blank. After all this time, these few remained just as terrifying as ever! No wonder they were once notorious for dominating the entire esports club—so formidable!

He drew in a sharp breath. No, he inhaled again…

Recalling his own experience facing them, that heart-pounding feeling remained indelible in his memory.

Just then, Yang Hao fired another shot in-game! The player on the school roof, already headshot, had his health bar instantly wiped out. Finished off.

By this point, all the earlier confusion had been resolved. Gazing toward the school, and thinking of the player double-headshot by Yang Hao and Zhu Ziyuan, Old Jiang could only mourn him in silence. What else could one do? It was simply bad luck.

While Old Jiang watched the replay, the battle in the school had concluded. Because of the chaos on the rooftop, the defending team lost their composure, allowing the attackers to seize the opportunity and trade one for three.

Of the two who stormed the building, only one survived in the end.

Regardless, the battle at the school had been both brutal and bizarre. Many people were left with unanswered questions.

Fortunately, Old Jiang, having pieced together what happened, played the replay for everyone.

In the broadcasting hall, the crowd was taken aback when Yang Hao and his companions appeared on screen. As the replay unfolded, the audience gradually began to understand.

Two shots! Two shots! One shot!

As the three gunshots ended, accompanied by the kill notifications flashing on screen, the shock on the viewers’ faces was impossible to conceal.

Were these two really that strong?

For the first time, such a thought arose in their minds. No matter how impressive Yang Hao’s group had been before, this display of skill had completely won them over.

The twin-sniper tactic, the marksmanship from the gods—utterly incredible!

Where on earth did this team come from? None of the previously scouted strong teams had included them; it was as if they’d appeared out of thin air.

Many people found themselves pondering this question. Some members of the audience, especially those who had advanced from the previous qualifying rounds, grew wary. Watching Yang Hao and his teammates, they were now certain this team would make the top five in the qualifiers.

Which meant, they’d be facing them in the finals.

Yet, they knew nothing about these people.

For them, this was not good news.

Many began to pay close attention to Yang Hao and his team, seeking information about these mysterious newcomers.

A dark horse had suddenly emerged, unsettling the hearts of many.

The unknown meant uncertainty.

No one could predict what kind of storm this group might stir up in the upcoming Battle Royale tournament.
