Chapter 230: End In Common Ruin
“Does he want to take this opportunity to shoot Lee?”
“Gosh, how is this possible?”
“In this case, even professional players won’t be able to do it. What makes him think that he can?”
Chuck stared at the screen, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
He was nervous.
Suddenly, Claire’s indifferent voice came from the headset. “Attention, his feet moved.”
“Huh?” Chuck’s head was dazed. He was staring at Lee intently, but why didn’t he find that Lee’s feet were moving?
“From now on, I will count down for you, three… two…”
Chuck felt his heart almost pop out of his throat.
He couldn’t fail! He couldn’t fail!
“One!”
As soon as Claire shouted, Lee was seen jumping into the lake.
At the same time, Chuck rushed out.
The moment Lee jumped into the lake, he aimed and shot.
There was a bang.
A message popped up on everyone’s screen.
[Chuck from the Red Team shot and killed Lee from the Blue Team.]
Lee’s name turned black.
He pulled off the headset and slammed it onto the ground.
As a professional player, he was killed by an amateur! What a shame!
The audience was in an uproar.
“What? Chuck shot Lee to death!”
“F*ck, I feel like I’m dreaming!”
“When did Chuck become so badass?”
Dora whirred, spinning and jumping, dancing on the spot.
Derek held down the excited girl. “Can you please calm down? You are jumping like a big cow!”
Inside the stadium, Chuck’s eyes were gleaming, and he cast an excited look at Claire.
Claire nodded to him.
Before long, Jack was shot.
Joe was searching the building and picked up a lot of equipment. At the corner of the stairs, however, he suddenly ran into a person head-on.
It was Eddie from the GIO team.
Caught off guard, both of them paused.
As a professional player, Eddie was very responsive and raised the gun first.
This situation had happened in the virtual battles that Claire designed for the team members during the previous training.
At that time, Joe had asked Claire what to do if he encountered this.
Claire had answered patiently. “What matters in this case is response and speed. If the opponent shoots first, you must try your best to shoot him as well. This kind of strategy is called, ‘end in common ruin’.”
Therefore, when Eddie raised the gun, Joe didn’t panic and shot back too.
Two bangs were heard, one after the other.
Joe and Eddie died together.
Eddie frowned. He didn’t expect that a student, an amateur player, would have such courage.
Although he was dead, Joe didn’t feel the slightest sadness but was rather happy.
Chuck wanted to snipe Caleb from the GIO team but was shot and killed by the ambushing Zack.
Zack blew a whistle with the joy of victory.
Claire was the only one left.
But the GIO team still had three people left.
They were only one step away from victory.
The audience on the sidelines looked at the big screen and lost interest.
“Is it necessary to continue? Isn’t the result obvious?”
“Claire can’t kill three alone. It’ll be as easy as a pie for the three of them to beat her.”
“We don’t need to watch anymore. The GIO team is set to win.”
Becky sneered and said to Phoebe, “Look at her, she’s still holding on.”
Phoebe’s heart was filled with disdain.
Seeing Joe and the others running to the hospital every day, she had thought that they would become stronger.
But they didn’t seem to have changed.
In the stadium, the four of them thumped their chest and stamped their feet, full of regret and frustration.
“Big Sister Claire, we are useless. We got you in trouble, boohoo…”
