Zack heard a hint of displeasure within Nancy’s voice. As he ran out of the smoke, he saw Nancy with her rifle raised, pointing at him.
“Just now it was…” Zack was about to explain what had happened when a disheartened Nancy interrupted, “Bad connection, wasn’t it? I understand, who doesn’t have an occasional bad connection?”
That’s typical of Nancy, she is fond of evading issues. Even though she wanted to know what had happened, she didn’t want to know immediately. What if he said it was his girlfriend, which would be a big blow to her.
Just a few words made him go offline immediately, which meant that he had something to hide. It shouldn’t be a family member. He isn’t a teenager who has to sneak around just to play online games. Is there a need to do something so drastic? Regardless, she decided it was better not to know.
Zack was relieved when it appears that there wasn’t a misunderstanding. He nervously said, “I thought the game ended. Good thing you chose a place with few opponents, babe.”
Nancy sneered, what few opponents, she just killed three who were coming for them. Otherwise, how could he survive standing there like an idiot?
Zack noticed that Nancy was unusually quiet, asked, “Babe, where shall we go next?”
Nancy said nonchalantly, “The beach, I’ll take you there for a stroll.”
Zack laughed as he thought it was a joke but at a closer look, the safe zone was just next to the sea.
Nancy rode directly towards the boulders. Including them, there were 10 players remaining. Nancy had lost the enthusiasm to play. She said to him indifferently, “Go hide amongst the boulders. We’ll just observe. I’ll take the front, you guard the rear.”
Zack was very intelligent, but he was inexperienced when dealing with girls. He didn’t detect the hidden displeasure within Nancy’s words.
He continued acting like a n00b as he lay beside a group of boulders. Nancy hid behind a boulder and reported her position to him.
Nancy took command of the situation and picked off two more opponents. On a slope nearby, there were two teams coming for them. The situation is going to reverse soon, their luck is running out. Nancy was hit and her health dropped by half.
At this time, she was desperate and ready to throw her last smoke grenade. As she was about to retreat, she saw her area covered in smoke. It was Zack who threw those smoke grenades to help her retreat.
Zack, “Quick, come over, it’s too dangerous over there.”
Nancy, “…”
Even though Nancy is a skilled gamer, this time it appears that she is at her wit’s end. She retreated to Zack’s side. There were only four players remaining.
Zack, “It’s an odd situation, it appears we’ll be forced into the sea.”
Nancy, “How can it be? I’ve never seen the game being played in the sea. You can’t hold a gun in the sea.”
Suddenly, Zack pushed Nancy and both of them fell into the sea.
While struggling in the water, Nancy said in resignation, “I see it now, we’re sitting ducks and wait for our eventual death.”
As soon as she said this, a message popped up on the screen, “Winner winner, chicken dinner!”
