90: I am the king of war (please add)

"Well? Still not coming out? Then this will be the second one!"

Saying this, Li Xiao pulled out another flashbang and shook it tentatively, but no one fell for it.

Those who managed to survive to this point weren't fools; everyone hoped to be the last one to be exposed, except for Li Xiao.

Seeing no reaction, he casually threw the flashbang behind a haystack.

A flash of white light passed, but surprisingly, no one ran out. This was truly unexpected, as he was certain there was someone in that spot because he had noticed the grass nearby move when he probed earlier.

"Fine! Since you won't come out, I'll do this the hard way!"

This time, Li Xiao threw a grenade with a three-second delay. When it landed next to the haystack, he finally saw someone hugging a gun and rolling to the side.

The grenade exploded, instantly scattering the haystack and sending shrapnel flying everywhere.

The player had exposed their position and tried to run to a depression on the other side.

But that spot already had an owner. The two met and immediately engaged in a firefight, ultimately perishing together.

At this point, there were a few minutes left until the eighth round refresh, so Li Xiao stopped causing trouble and quietly waited for the final showdown to arrive.

A few minutes later, the Death Zone refreshed. The first to lose patience was a young white man holding a gun in his right hand and a piece of C4 explosives in his left.

The opponent was at most eighteen or nineteen years old. He suddenly stood up from a depression, threw the C4 explosives with the ignited fuse into the center of the circle, and then lay flat.

Seeing this, Li Xiao hurriedly dodged behind a pickup truck, while someone in another direction also suddenly stood up and fled in a panic.

Boom!

The shockwave from the C4 explosives spread instantly. The pickup truck closest to it exploded on the spot, and Li Xiao was also caught in the blast and injured, losing several thousand health points in an instant.

The smoke from the explosion had yet to dissipate, and the Death Zone boundary kept advancing. The young man who threw the C4 explosives was the furthest from the center point; although he wanted to take one or two people down with him using the C4 explosives, unfortunately, his plan failed.

He was pushed forward by the boundary until he was forced out of the depression. Seeing this opportunity, Li Xiao immediately attacked, raising his gun and firing.

The young man was not to be outdone; he gripped his submachine gun with both hands and fired wildly at Li Xiao.

Unfortunately, Li Xiao's rate of fire was faster. By the time he emptied his remaining dozen or so rounds, the opponent was already lying on the ground.

Li Xiao had also been hit by several bullets. Although it didn't cause any real damage, his body armor was destroyed and vanished.

The Death Zone was still shrinking. At this moment, the person who had fled earlier was also forced out. Li Xiao looked closely and found the person's figure somewhat familiar.

"Huh? Isn't this the person who sniped at me in the Wheat Field at Hongshi Mountain?"

Looking at the middle-aged man with the thick beard on his face, and then at the sniper rifle and rifle on his back, Li Xiao immediately remembered.

This was a master! Li Xiao hurriedly reloaded, but the middle-aged man said, "Young man, didn't you say you wanted to come out and fistfight? We can start now!"

"What about the other one? I don't want to be ambushed." Li Xiao looked around.

The middle-aged man pointed to a spot where there were two haystacks side by side.

"The damage should be over fifty points by now. The remaining unlucky guy is already frantically using meds; he has no time to pay attention to us."

At this point, the Death Zone boundary stopped. The safe zone in the entire Wheat Field was less than ten square meters. The middle-aged man took off all his gear and stood before Li Xiao empty-handed.

"We should have met before in the Wheat Field near Hongshi Mountain. Back then, I fired a total of eleven bullets, and every single one hit you."

"Yet you were unscathed and even wanted to kill me head-on. It seems you must have some secret!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, the survivor who was enduring the poison outside the circle finally couldn't hold on any longer.

"Now, I think you can tell me the secret you're hiding, right? After all, if I win, you'll be dead, and the secret will lose its meaning."

"And if I lose, the secret remains a secret. I hope to die knowing the truth."

Li Xiao laughed. "Let's fight first. Maybe I'll tell you before I die!"

As soon as Li Xiao said this, the opponent immediately assumed a fighting stance, his eyes exceptionally sharp. One look told him that the opponent was definitely aiming to kill with every move.

However, Li Xiao, who had some combat ability, wasn't afraid at all. He extended a hand and beckoned to the middle-aged man, grinning evilly, "Come over here!"

Facing such a provocation, anyone with any skill probably couldn't hold back. The middle-aged man lunged forward with explosive power so strong that Li Xiao could even feel a gust of air rushing toward him.

When he was two or three meters away from Li Xiao, the opponent jumped up and delivered a mid-air roundhouse kick, aiming to explode his head.

But at this moment, Li Xiao didn't even blink. Seeing Li Xiao indifferent, the middle-aged man seemed to become alert, but his leg was already extended and couldn't be pulled back.

In that split second, Li Xiao suddenly raised his other hand, and in it was a dark green grenade, with the safety lever already popped.

"Motherf*cker!"

Catching a glimpse of this, the middle-aged foreigner immediately knew he had fallen for a trap, but he was already in mid-air and couldn't control his body.

The next second, Li Xiao and the middle-aged foreigner were simultaneously swallowed by a fireball, and a cloud of smoke rose over the large Wheat Field.

"Cough, cough!"

The smoke cleared, and Li Xiao crawled up from the ground, covered in dust. His clothes and helmet had been destroyed in the grenade explosion, and he looked like a scarred beggar.

He shook his head, which had been dazed by the bomb, looked back at the middle-aged man's corpse, and laughed out loud.

How could Li Xiao be stupid enough to fistfight a specially trained soldier, especially someone likely from special forces?

So, he never intended to fistfight from the beginning. When the middle-aged man proposed a duel, Li Xiao had taken out the grenade and tucked it behind his waist while putting away his backpack.

Furthermore, Li Xiao's previous injuries had all been from bullet or shell attacks, which, while directly deducting health points from his Life Pool...

...he really didn't know if close-quarters melee combat or fistfighting would bypass the Life Pool and cause him to kick the bucket directly.

So, in this situation, he didn't dare to gamble just to show off.

Just then, Li Xiao finally heard the system announcement.

[This round of confrontation has ended. Congratulations on becoming the final survivor!]

[World Announcement: Congratulations to Li Xiao from the Xiaoyao Squad of the Tianyu Republic war zone for becoming the final winner in this King of War event, earning the title: King of War!]

After the prompt ended, the space before his eyes twisted and changed, and soon, without warning, he lost consciousness.
