Chapter 488: Chapter 329 Going Astray_2

"No, I don’t think acting is suitable for him either, he may not be able to contain himself. Although I don’t know much about Feng Yi, based on the two times he made his moves just now, that style doesn’t suit acting. It’s like asking a snake to slow down its attack on prey. Too difficult! It’s bad for everyone,"

Outside the field,

Since the first round was a warm-up game, nobody had gone all out, and those who were eliminated didn’t stay to watch but went outside to rest.

Those who were fiercely shouting and fighting on the field just a moment ago were now sitting together, bragging and comparing notes.

Seeing someone else coming out of the field, the group chuckled.

"Ah ha! Dongzi also got sent out, didn’t you say you’d stay low until the end? Whose gun did you end up at?"

The person who just came out took off his helmet, grabbed a bottle of salt soda, gulped down half of it, took a breather, and with a face full of confusion said, "I don’t know!"

Seeing this, the crowd grew more curious: "You don’t even know who shot you?"

This group often played together and knew each other well; little mannerisms or preferred gear, ways of wearing the same equipment, and strategies would be more or less familiar to them.

Even if they didn’t know who it was at the moment, they would usually narrow it down to a few names and then use the process of elimination.

"It’s not that I don’t know at all," Dongzi said.

"Oh?" his companions all perked up their ears, ready for gossip.

"Remember earlier, Big Pan said to look out for Pan and Feng Yi? I figured that enough time had passed, and the grace period for the new people was over. Although I wasn’t planning to hunt them down, I had my eye on a spot to ambush from. As I headed over there, I discovered Pan and Feng Yi; the two were well-hidden. I didn’t notice them at first, but when I got closer and heard them talking, Pan blabbering about something, I realized they were there."

"So, Feng Yi and Pan teamed up and took you out?" someone asked.

"Not really. I couldn’t see Feng Yi because of the cover, but I did catch sight of Pan. So I thought I’d pick them off one by one starting from him, as I was in a good position to ambush. But my surprise attack missed Pan."

Dongzi recalled the situation and continued, "I was just about to look for another opportunity to attack when suddenly, a shadow flashed on the other side of the cover, and before I could react, I was hit."

Dongzi pointed to the orange paint splatter mark on his chest.

"That accuracy, doesn’t seem like a newbie," someone commented.

"I thought the same, it probably wasn’t Pan. There might have been a third person there. That’s why I don’t know who shot me. Pan definitely knows; they must have been crouching there for quite a while," Dongzi explained.

"Maybe when you tried to ambush Pan, you gave away your position, and then someone else lurking there ambushed you. Hey, don’t fret about it, we’ll find out when they come out," someone suggested.

"So remember the lesson, when you’re targeting someone, you also become someone else’s target. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," someone said wisely.

"... Isn’t it the mantis catching the cicada?"

"Slip of the tongue, ha, slip of the tongue! But for real, there are mantises that eat snakes!"

More people gradually came over from the field and joined the discussion.

Soon another person came out.

"Qiao is out too."

Seeing Qiao also looking puzzled, someone asked, "Why the long face? A grudging ’death’?"

"Can’t exactly say it’s grudging, just really clueless, clueless! Running around and suddenly, tat tat tat, I’m hit!"

Dongzi, looking at the same orange paint mark on Qiao, asked,

"Was it the northeast corner?"

"Where’s the northeast corner?"

"Never mind, I’ll draw it on my phone, here, this is where we entered, northeast corner over here, with sandbags, a ladder, a large tire, and there’s also a container..."

"Probably," Qiao responded indifferently.

"What do you mean ’probably’?!"

"Because I only saw a container and before I had a chance to see if there were sandbags or a big tire behind it, suddenly someone darted out from behind the container, and I was done!"

"Who shot you?"

"I have no idea!"

"Was there anything distinctive about the attacker’s gear?"

"It was too sudden, I didn’t get a good look. They just flickered, and next thing I know, I looked like this," Qiao pointed to the orange paint splatter on their body.

The group huddled together to figure things out.

After a while...

"We have a traitor among us!"

"Which damn sneak has been practicing secretly!"

"Are they trying to school us?"

"Sneaky! Pah!"

When the first match’s time was up,

Pan Weining’s team had more people alive, four!

Besides Feng Yi and Pan Youning, there were Pan Weining and another teammate.

Wen Zhiyu’s side was left with only two people.

Wen Zhiyu complained resentfully, "Pan really lives up to his title as the king of holding out. Not only did he survive till the end, but he also managed to carry a newbie to victory!"

Pan Youning was absent-minded and didn’t quite hear what Wen Zhiyu just said, responding vaguely with "Oh," "Heh," "Hmm."

This perfunctory reply almost provoked Wen Zhiyu to speak out, but Pan had already run to Big Pan’s side.

Pan Weining took off his mask, feeling pretty good.

This win was a bit unexpected, especially since they had a tactical mishap mid-game and lost two key players. Although they tried to recover, with limited manpower, they thought a tie at best, not expecting Pan Youning and Feng Yi to survive as well.

Winning naturally felt great!

However, that good mood didn’t last long.

Upon seeing the "I feel like I did something wrong" expression on Pan Youning’s face, Pan Weining had a sinking feeling in his heart!
