Seeing Ryan Clark make a sideways jump and fire in midair, taking down a shotgunner at close range, the three people gathered around Ryan Clark couldn’t help but widen their eyes in disbelief!

Before Ryan Clark could say anything, a sudden “bang” echoed from the stairwell.

It turned out to be the grenade Ryan Clark had thrown earlier exploding.

Although the grenade didn’t kill the two people downstairs, it split the enemy’s offensive, causing the vanguard Black Kid to become separated from the two behind him.

Hearing the explosion, the expressions of the three next to Ryan Clark changed instantly.

They really wanted to ask Ryan Clark, who was lying on the ground, if this was truly his first time playing this game.

After all, when they saw Ryan Clark throw the grenade at the wall just now, David Brooks couldn’t help but remind him.

He was afraid there would be another “friendly fire grenade” like Henry Cooper’s earlier mishap.

But none of them expected that Ryan Clark would actually use the wall to bounce the grenade down the stairwell.

That was clearly a “geometry grenade”!

……

Rat-tat-tat!

The muzzle of the UMP9 spat fire again, and the downed Black Kid was instantly finished off, turning into a loot box.

Now fully in the zone, Ryan Clark didn’t respond to the others’ confusion. He quickly sidestepped toward the stairwell and started looting at lightning speed.

Very soon, a shotgun appeared in Ryan Clark’s hands—the very S686 that Black Kid had just used!

The next moment, a rush of hurried footsteps echoed from the stairwell!

It turned out that after Black Kid died, he didn’t switch his view and reported to his teammates that Ryan Clark was looting, so the two on the other side naturally wouldn’t let this chance slip by and charged up quickly.

“Hurry, stop looting! They’re coming!”

Boss David Brooks, hearing the footsteps in his headset, immediately shouted a panicked warning to Ryan Clark.

But Ryan Clark’s expression remained calm and steady. He quickly left the stairwell entrance, retreating while reloading the S686.

The next moment, the two enemies appeared in the stairwell and unleashed a barrage of bullets at Ryan Clark in the corner!

Ryan Clark dodged sideways behind the wall, but after taking two shots, his health was in the red, making the three beside him instantly tense up!

At this moment, Ryan Clark behind the wall snapped the S686 shut with a flick of his hands!

“Click!”

Reload complete!

At the same time, crouched behind the wall, he could clearly see the two enemies rushing over.

……

It’s over!

David Brooks, Henry Cooper, and the others had already lost hope for Ryan Clark’s survival with such low health!

But just then, Ryan Clark suddenly leaned out and tilted his head!

Bang!

Before his teammates could even see clearly, he instantly pulled his head back!

Immediately after, a burst of gunfire rang out!

The enemies, seeing a shadow, instinctively sprayed bullets at the corner, but Ryan Clark dodged every shot by pulling back so quickly.

The next moment!

Bang!

As if replaying the scene, the enemy’s gunfire paused for just a split second, and Ryan Clark leaned out and fired the shotgun again at lightning speed!

In a flash, the last two enemies dropped to the ground!

Hiss!

A gasp of shock sounded in their ears!

After finishing off the opponents, Ryan Clark finally relaxed a little and turned his head, only to see his three roommates staring at him like he was some kind of monster.

The youngest, Brian Carter, widened his eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing as he stammered, “Is this... the gun-shake technique?”

Chapter 5: Solo Squad Wipe!

The so-called “gun-shake technique” is actually just “flick-shotting” with a shotgun.

It’s a technique often used by high-ranked solo players or pros when defending a building—using walls or other obstacles to block the enemy’s line of sight, then quickly peeking out to fire the shotgun and instantly pulling back.

This move isn’t exactly hard, but it’s not simple either.

Especially in situations like Ryan Clark’s just now, where with such low health, even the slightest mistake would mean instant death.

Usually, the most common shotgun for flick-shots is the S1897, which requires reloading after every shot and isn’t a double-barrel.

But the reload interval actually makes it easier to find the rhythm for flick-shotting.

By comparison, the S686’s double-shot rhythm is something you have to master yourself.

Just now, Ryan Clark’s two flick-shots with the S686 were both incredibly fast and perfectly timed, which is how he managed to pull off a double kill while on the brink of death.

However, the three roommates beside him couldn’t see all these details yet.

They just thought Ryan Clark’s two shotgun blasts—one kill per shot—were so cool, there was no way he was a newbie.

Sitting next to him, Henry Cooper stared blankly at Ryan Clark as he looted, then suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead, exclaiming, “浪子 just... wiped the squad solo?”

Hearing Henry Cooper’s words, Brian Carter and David Brooks instantly realized what Ryan Clark had just accomplished...

A solo squad wipe!

That’s the kind of play you only see in highlight reels from streamers and pro players!

But now, their own roommate sitting right next to them had pulled it off so casually.

Hiss...
