After being killed a few times, Fan Jie and the other two finally came back to their senses.
At this point, their situation was rather grim.
They reckoned that they wouldn’t last another eight minutes.
Fan Jie and his teammates were in low spirits, and it showed in their playing.
Seeing that they had hit a wall, she calmed herself down before she instructed, “Stay in the base and do not come out.”
In the game’s map, each team was protected by a fort around the base, and as a norm the enemy would not dare to launch an attack.
But how could they win the game without leaving the base?
It would merely prolong their painful ending.
Fan Jie grunted listlessly to indicate he understood, but he did not feel like speaking at all.
He had used to think of himself as a great gamer. Yet now he realized it was because the other party had known he was a celebrity, so they had given him the upper hand to flatter him.
But in reality, his skills were at best mediocre.
He guarded the base obediently. As he watched, the opponent gained control and charged straight up, intending to finish it one last attack. Fan Jie was suddenly on fire. “I reckon this is the last fight! Let’s do our best.”
After saying this, he looked at the little map on his screen and realized suddenly… Both Shen Liangchuan and Sister-in-law were not in the base, they had gone out.
Furthermore, they had now run right into their enemies—all five of them!
Fan Jie shouted at once, “d.a.m.n it, Sister-in-law, hurry back here! We won’t be able to fight them!”
“So you do know that we can’t take them on,” thought Mo Xicheng. “Then what were you doing just now!”
However, Fan Jie’s eyes popped when he saw that the enemy’s troops actually walked right past the both of them, totally ignoring their presence.
Fan Jie was stumped.
Then he noticed that both Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan were hiding in the bushes.
Were they planning an ambush from both sides?
Immediately, he was excited. “Brothers, get ready. We’ll—”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw that she and Shen Liangchuan were now das.h.i.+ng towards their opponents’ base.
They moved at lightning speed, making their way to a nearby area. From this spot, without destroying a single part of the fort, they flashed themselves into the enemy’s base.
ESports games were simple. Winning or losing did not depend on how many one opponents one killed. Rather, it depended on who first destroyed the central fort in the opponent’s base.
However, the moment the central fort detected enemy presence, it would launch an attack to kill the enemies and protect itself.
So now Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan both took turns to hit from the central fort, withstanding the attack as shot at the fort.
Fan Jie was stunned and even Smiling Tiger was watching, flabbergasted.
Zhang Mao anxiously said, “Our base won’t really be destroyed, will it? I think we should return.”
Just a moment ago, Purple Fairy had been constantly attacked by Qiao Lian, but now she couldn’t help but laugh derisively. “No need to! A moment ago I was still convinced that Unforgettable Love was a skilled gamer, but I hadn’t expect her to be this stupid. The fort is such a powerful attacker and those two want to destroy our base? They’re asking to die.”
However just as she made these remarks, she saw to her own horror that the fort’s hp was dropping before her eyes.
Zhang Mao was panicking now. “Hurry up, let’s go home!”
Smiling Tiger said, “We have run out of time.”
Purple Fairy sneered, “There’s no way they’ll succeed!”
But even as she said this, she held her breath nervously. The calm and confidence she had displayed initially had now given way to anxiety and restlessness.
Finally, the screen indicated: Central Fort Slaughtered Mo Xicheng!
Purple Fairy heaved a sigh of relief.
Following this, it displayed: Central Fort Slaughtered Unforgettable Love!
Purple Fairy let out a mocking laughter. “What r.e.t.a.r.ds! They thought they could win like this.”
Before she could finish off her sentence, however, the image on the screen shook like there was a great earthquake.
At once, “Mission Failure” appeared on the screen.
Purple Fairy was completely stumped.
