Chapter 48 - Kills

As I move forward — I see small cluster of hay bales and a tractor asset.

I approach hay bales and crouch behind them.

I peek around left side.

I see a two-story house at distance approx 120 meters.

Door open.

I scan roof.

No silhouette.

I scan windows.

Third window — left side — I see barrel tip of a rifle pointed outward.

He's holding angle on field area.

He is unaware of me because I am behind hay bale.

I adjust 2x aim for 120 meter shot.

I wait for slight movement.

He shifts gun slightly to adjust his viewing angle — his shoulder rotates.

I fire burst.

Blood spray.

He tries to move left from window.

I keep firing burst.

Second burst kills him.

I remain crouched.

I hold position 3 seconds.

No return fire from other angles.

I move forward toward the house carefully.

Halfway there — I suddenly hear footsteps to my right — sprinting speed — approaching from blind side of hay bale direction I came from.

He is close — maybe 15 meters — behind tree.

He stops sprint suddenly — he probably heard my shots.

He is holding aim on direction he last heard gunfire.

I shift to UMP again.

I crouch quickly behind small rock.

He moves out from behind tree to peek angle forward — not looking at rock.

I ADS UMP and fire burst.

Hits connect.

He tries to crouch return fire — spray wild.

I strafe left and continue firing.

He drops.

I check surroundings again.

Gas station area now empty.

Footsteps none.

Vehicle noise none.

I go to body, loot quick:

more 5.56 ammo

smoke grenade x1

red dot sight

I keep 2x on M416, no need red dot.

Next circle is closing in 45 seconds.

Zone distance approx 300 meters.

I must move.

I maintain low posture and move toward tree clusters.

As I cross open patch of ground — I hear suppressed rifle shot — single pffft sound — from north-east direction.

Bullet impacts ground near front of my feet.

Sniper suppressor.

Distance maybe 200-250m.

I instantly sprint diagonal pattern to reduce predictable line.

I aim toward nearest rock cover.

I slide behind rock.

I lean left slightly.

I scan tree line and bushes in distance.

I see movement — single prone body slightly visible between grass and low bush — sniper laying prone.

He is aiming at my last position.

He has suppressor, big scope.

I adjust 2x — small target.

I tap in burst mode.

First burst hits dirt.

Second burst — one bullet hits him.

He flinches slightly.

He stays prone — tries to crawl slightly right.

I adjust crosshair slightly.

I fire again — burst.

Blood flick.

He tries to crawl again — slower.

I finish with third burst.

He goes down.

Kill feed confirms.

I push toward next cover quickly because zone timer is low.

I reach the next tree line — medium sized trees spaced around 6–8 meters apart.

I crouch behind one tree and use energy drink again to maintain high boost.

Circle starts closing while I am still in tree line.

I move forward in short sprints — stopping between each tree to scan.

Zone is now shrinking to final mid-game compact size.

Remaining alive looks around 22 players.

I hear gunshots ahead — multiple automatic bursts — maybe two separate fights.

I stay on right side of the hill slope and cut angle behind a group of rocks so I don't run in direct line of fire.

I approach a ridge — I go prone before cresting.

I slowly crawl up the slope — only head and scope peeking.

Below the ridge — around 80 meters — I see 2 players behind two separate trees — fighting someone further south. They haven't noticed me yet. Both are firing forward, not backward.

Both trees are maybe 10 meters apart.

I decide to target the one closest to left side first.

I switch to M416.

Still on 2x scope.

I hold breath — stabilize.

I tap fire — accurate controlled bursts.

tap tap tap

Left target immediately gets hit and drops.

The right target hears my shots but is pinned behind his tree — he must decide who to fight. He was already engaged in fight in front — now another threat from flank (me).

He crouch wiggles left side of tree — trying to find me.

He pops head out slightly.

I don't let him settle.

I prefire tree edge.

Bullets connect.

He drops.

Two kills secured.

I stay prone for 3 full seconds — scanning front, left, right.

I see body — far away — someone sprints from lowland building area toward next circle zone.

Distance approx 160 meters.

He is running exposed.

Another player from his left — maybe with 4x or 6x — takes shots at him.

Multiple hits connect.

That runner drops in open field.

I do not shoot because two other shooters already have each other's angles — I avoid revealing my own exact ridge location again unless necessary.

Zone countdown continues.

Time left: 35 seconds.

I slide backward from ridge so my silhouette is not visible.

I crouch lower and rotate slightly west side.

From west side I can drop down slope easy without exposing too much.

I descend slope — still crouched — using tree trunks as cover.

I reach another small depression in ground — like shallow ditch.

I lay prone in ditch and wait for zone movement.

Safe zone appears now slightly to the east.

I must rotate again but ditch gives temporary cover.

I hear footsteps — slow crouch walking — on my right side.

Distance around 6–8 meters.

He doesn't sprint — he is scanning.

He is also cautious.

I keep UMP ready — because this is close range.

I aim at where his footsteps will cross the ditch edge.

He steps closer… I see tip of gun… then knee.

I fire burst.

tat tat tat tat

He tries to back up — too late.

He falls backward.

Footsteps gone.
