Book 6: Chapter 62:2: The Winners Feast, the Rich Gamble, Part 2


    Not long after Chen Heng crouched down, he heard a vehicle approaching. Interestingly, the noise didnte from the other side of the bridge but from behind him. Someone else had the same idea as he and hade to block the bridge.


    Chen Heng switched his weapon to the VSS and adjusted his position, using the built-in scope to check behind him. He saw a Jeep approaching, with only two people on board. He could see them clearly, as the Jeep did not have a top.


    <em>Oh! It seems Ive found some kindred spirits,</em> Chen Heng thought as he observed the situation. He immediately switched his gun to the M416 and moved a bit to the right, hiding behind a boulder.


    Before long, the sound of the approaching vehicle grew louder. However, it did not stop; it continued and stopped at the bridges entrance.


    Two people got out, both holding guns, and assumed simr stances to Chen Hengs, belly-down in the grass.


    Hey, Monkey, are we really going to block the bridge?


    Of course, were blocking the bridge.


    But we didnt get good guns this morning. Youve only got a Kar98k without a scope, and I have two shotguns. Can we really seed in blocking the bridge like this? Will anyone evene?


    [TL Note: Here is more information on the Kar98k: /wiki/Karabiner_98_Kurz. It is likely based on a real gun model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karabiner_98k.]


    Trust me; someone wille. Were in the first circle, and the military base is out. Those pros who just finished fighting at the military base have a 50 percent chance of choosing this bridge. As for whether we can seed Well, buddy, have you ever heard the saying, the winners feast, the rich gamble?


    [TL Note: The saying in Chinese is literally tranted as the poor eat chicken, the rich get deliveries. In <em>PUBG</em>, the congrattory message after a victory is Winner, winner, chicken dinner. The saying means that those poorly equipped have to aim seriously and work hard for a win while ying more cautiously, but those well-equipped yers can afford to take risks or y less seriously and still get a victory.]


    Alright, alright, Ill go along with you. If we lose this round, you owe me a meal. If we win, Ill treat you.


    Listen to me; thats the way to go. Remember, Ithe King of Chicken Dinnershave a perfect record of a zero-kill victory.


    If youre the king of chicken dinners, why are we even blocking the bridge?


    Well, this is for you to experience the thrill of a gunfight, my friend. Oh, and dont hide yet, Chubby. Drive the car to the water or that open space under the bridge; the car is too big of a target.


    Got it.


    The yer known as Chubby wore level 1 armor. He got up from the grass, ran to the car, moved it under the bridge, and then scurried back to the same hiding spot as Monkey.


    Chen Heng had refrained from firing earlier, wanting to see what these two were up to. He did not expect to meet two people with the same ns and thoughts. Not only did they want to block the bridge, they even hid in the same ce.


    He intended to let them block the bridge first. If they seeded, hed remain hidden, letting them handle any bridge-crossers before dealing with themter. If they failed, he could eliminate the attackers while they looted the bridge.


    However, as he watched the two figures lying side by side behind the rock, Chen Heng found himself increasingly tempted to open fire.


    Slowly, Chen Heng stood up. As long as he didnt move from his position, standing or crouching would not create sound markers for nearby yers.


    With his rifle aimed at the two unsuspecting yers still lying in the grass, Chen Heng pulled the trigger.


    <em>Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang!</em>


    After a burst of M416 fire, the two yers were taken down unexpectedly, left kneeling in their original spots.


    At such close range, there was no chance of missing. And with Chen Hengs firearm proficiency, he was perfectly acquainted with the rifle, which ensured minimal recoil.


    Big-big-big-big-big-big-big brother, lets team up. Team up! The two downed yers didnt immediately die; they could be revived by a teammate, assuming there was one nearby.


    If there was no teammate to rescue them and they werent finished off, they would bleed out slowly, much like inputer and mobile battle royale games.


    However, Chen Heng didnt show mercy. Instead, he reloaded and raised his rifle once more.


    Team up, my foot, he muttered before turning the two yers into loot crates.


    Todays yers reallyck sportsmanship. Chen Heng shook his head with a bit of disappointment, then cheerfully looted the crates.


    Chen Heng could have spared these two, but when he overheard the yer named Chubby mention a Kar98k


    How could Chen Heng resist? He had an 8x scope but no sniper rifle. The VSS did not count. Upon hearing the name Kar98k, could he remain calm? Although he was knowledgeable in all types of firearms because of firearm proficiency, he had a particr fondness for sniper rifles, perhaps because of the Electromaic Star Sniper Rifle.


    me yourselves for mentioning the Kar98k! Chen Heng sighed and then crouched beside the two crates, indulging in the spoils.


    The winners feast, the rich gamble, indeed. You two are truly poor; the only decent thing is this Kar98k.


    These two yers were indeed poorly equipped. Chubby had two shotguns: an S686 and an S12K. Monkey wasnt any better, carrying a Kar98k and a Vector submachine gun.


    [TL Note: Heres more information on the guns mentioned above: /wiki/S686, /wiki/S12K, and /wiki/Vector.]


    So, who gave you guys the courage toe and block the bridge with this gear? Chen Heng said this without considering that he had dared to block the bridge himself, armed with just an M416 and a VSS.


    Chen Heng took the Kar98k and also collected their grenades, medkits, bandages, and energy drinks, stashing these in his backpack.


    After attaching the 8x scope to the Kar98k, Chen Heng gazed at his weapon with satisfaction. Now, he felt even more confident about blocking the bridge.


    Although this was just a game, its realism was exceptionally high. Chen Hengs firearm proficiency was put to perfect use here.


    While firing a few rounds with the VSS earlier, he noticed that this games bullets were affected by wind speed and had the bullets drop realistically beyond a certain range. It felt very much like the real world.


    Having the Kar98k and 8x scope,bined with the M416 for closebat, boosted Chen Hengs confidence. He changed his position because the two yers he downed earlier hadnt died immediatelywhich indicated they had teammates. If they had teammates, they might have informed their teammates of the situation.
