Chapter 313: I'm So Mad I Could Die
In a CS match, the default pistol for T in the first round is the Glock 18, which is weaker than CT's USP, so even though T has a geographical advantage in the first round, CT is still superior in terms of equipment.
After Chenchen and Sisi ran head-first into Zhang Yang, they barely hesitated at all, immediately stopping to gunfight. Two CTs against one terrorist, with an equipment advantage, and Sisi even had armor. There wasn't anything to think about.
But what shocked them was that [I'm God] actually dodged several of their shots the moment they stopped and opened fire, stepping with Eight Trigram Footwork, running downhill while shooting back. The unlucky Sisi even got tagged by his burst shots. After taking two or three hits, her HP was bottoming out. If his gun hadn't been a Glock, and if she weren't wearing a vest, she'd probably already be dead.
"Chenchen, help!" Fat Sisi subconsciously screamed in the team channel, "Too much! That bastard's only targeting me!"
"I hit him too, he doesn't have much HP left... push down the slope and kill him."
"No, if I get scraped by one more bullet I'm dead..." Sisi thought that since she'd bought armor, dying now would be a waste, so she hid in a corner. "Didn't you buy a grenade? Blow him up."
Just as Chenchen was hesitating, Lili spoke up. "Chenchen, finish that guy first, then hurry to support B. They planted."
She was speechless. It was three of them against four, yet they had the enemy pinned in B, unable to move. Meanwhile the other side had two against one, and Chenchen was supposed to be the best player among their five.
And yet they were getting stalled by a T holding a Glock. Absolutely ridiculous.
Just then, Sisi's furious cursing and keyboard-slamming came through the channel.
"Damn it! Bastard! Son of a bitch! [I'm God], I will NEVER let you go!"
"What happened?" Shen Lili heard Sisi's frantic voice. She instinctively glanced at the killfeed and instantly fell silent. "You got blown up?"
She nearly collapsed on the spot.
Sisi was one of the only two CTs who bought armor, and even though she wasn't great at offense...
Her self-preservation was definitely solid. And she and Chenchen were two people, theoretically with the advantage, yet got blown up by a T with a Glock. Embarrassing didn't even begin to cover it. No wonder she was cursing.
"Sisi, I avenged you." In the channel, Chenchen spoke helplessly. She never expected that guy to buy nothing but a bomb. Just when she was about to charge the slope and finish him off...
He threw the bomb first, not only blowing Sisi sky-high, but also taking half of her HP.
Needing to hurry to reinforce B, she could only throw the grenade meant for attacking B down the slope, blowing [I'm God] to death.
Next.
Three versus two, and both Liu Zixuan and Xu Danying were at 1 HP levels. There was no suspense. But in the chaos, Lili also got killed by them. In the end, CT defused before the C4 exploded.
They took the first round.
CT secured the first round, but Lili, as team captain, wasn't happy at all. The first round was humiliating. The opponent was clearly a makeshift team of total noobs, yet they still managed to plant, and despite having every advantage, they lost three players, including Lili getting headshotted.
"Everyone was too careless. In the second round, we MUST play clean." Lili's voice warbled, mixed with rage and shame. "They're completely disorganized. Second round, we run 1-3-1. Main force rushes mid. Chenchen holds A long. Tutu holds B."
"Lili, isn't that risky? They planted last round, so they can pretty much all buy MP5 and armor. I suspect that [I'm God] might even have enough to buy an AK. If they all rush B again, we'll have trouble attacking." Chenchen reminded softly.
"I'm WAITING for them to all go B. Don't forget, we have two M4s this round." Lili said. "If they all go in, we'll wipe them. And that [I'm God] stays for last—stab him with a knife."
Round two began. CT rushed mid and quickly discovered that T was swarming A long. Chenchen used her M4 to suppress them on the slope and even headshotted Dantong. Hearing this, Lili immediately wrapped around to T spawn, planning to coordinate a pinch with Chenchen to wipe them on the slope.
"Tutu... hurry to A and support Chenchen..." Lili's face lit with excitement. This time they could finally show the Pretty Elf Squad's true power.
"Lili, watch out, someone's flanking me!" yelled Tutu from B.
"Flanking?" Lili glanced at the screen and her face instantly turned green. It was [I'm God] again, still using a Glock. She nearly spat blood. "Tutu! Don't you have an M4? How did you get headshotted by a Glock—"
"That bastard is despicable! He was hiding behind the crates in our CT spawn!"
"WHAT!?" Lili almost fell out of her chair. "How? When did he get there? We rushed mid—how did we not see him?"
"I don't know! He MUST be hacking!" Tutu yelled helplessly. "Definitely hacking!"
"Forget it for now. Kill the slope group first, then deal with him." Lili said, exasperated.
"Go!"
As soon as she spoke, CT threw two grenades. After the explosions, two flashbangs followed. Once the white light faded, both sides plunged into a chaotic fight.
In terms of equipment, tactics, and individual skill, CT absolutely outclassed Liu Zixuan's side. They were quickly annihilated outside A long.
CT remained untouched. Just as Liu Zixuan removed her headset to wait for the next round, she noticed a sneaky figure holding an M4 creeping out of A long.
"Zhang Yang?" Liu Zixuan's heart thumped. Wasn't he dead?
She rushed to Zhang Yang's side and nearly fainted. He was full HP.
"Where's that [I'm God]?" After wiping out Liu Zixuan's team, Lili's group ran back to CT spawn, only to find that the most hated player had vanished.
"Probably went short. Chenchen, go short. We push mid."
Halfway through the push, Lili nearly fainted. Chenchen came out of short at the same time—straight into them.
Worst of all, the computer message popped up: "Terrorists have successfully planted the bomb!"
No need to guess. He must've picked up the C4 dropped on A long, followed behind them, and planted after Chenchen left short.
"Kill him! KILL HIM!" Lili was losing her mind.
"Go go!"
All four CTs swarmed back through short. The moment the first CT peeked, Yingying was immediately headshotted by an M4, terrifying the others into staying hidden.
The three of them crouched in short, completely distressed.
"Something's wrong, Lili. That [I'm God] is definitely a veteran." Yingying analyzed calmly. "They wouldn't have hired a professional, would they?"
"Professional?" Lili frowned. Zhang Yang's face flashed in her mind. "Chenchen, aren't you familiar with CS pros? What do you think?"
"Lili, I saw his face earlier, but I don't recognize him. He shouldn't be a pro. Besides, JPMN squad is clearly full of noobs. How could they know a pro?"
"Then how is his aim that good?" Yingying, still salty from being one-tapped, protested.
"I'm telling you, that bastard was just lucky! He was hiding behind crates and ambushed me—" Tutu yelled, furious from being killed by Zhang Yang's Glock.
"Enough. Doesn't matter who he is. Time's almost up. We have to push." Lili said helplessly. "We can't just watch the C4 explode."
"Right! If we lose we have to strip! Damn it!" The reminder jolted everyone awake. If the bomb exploded, they lost. If they lost, what was the point of continuing?
Lili had agreed on five rounds. If the opponent won even one, they'd count as winners.
Maybe it was the fear of stripping that triggered something. All three of them charged short for a desperate final push.
"They're pushing! They're pushing!"
Liu Zixuan had been standing beside Zhang Yang, watching him play intently. She never expected Zhang Yang to be THIS insane. His movements looked a bit rusty, but the operations were god-tier. If his hand speed improved, he'd be unstoppable.
When she saw the opponents swarming up, Zhang Yang still held his gun casually. Her beautiful eyes tightened, and she threw herself onto his back, her full chest pressing against him as she shouted, "Shoot! Kill those bitches! If you win, we get to see boobs—"
"Thump! Thump!" Chairs crashed around them.
Zhang Yang remained calm, smiling slightly. After playing a bit, he had fully adjusted to the rhythm. This was CS god-level technique he exchanged ten system points for. He hadn't mastered it completely yet, but if he couldn't beat these girls, he really should go buy tofu and smash his head in.
"They're up—kill them! Lili is the worst!"
"Got it!" Zhang Yang sidestepped, lowered his aim, burst-fired Lili's head off, then flicked upward and crouch-sprayed to kill Sisi.
The last two M4 users tried to fight, but after a few Eight Trigram Steps and a big bunny hop, Zhang Yang took positional advantage—only to discover his gun didn't fire when he clicked. No ammo?
He quickly switched to his pistol—still no bullets.
"Damn it!"
Zhang Yang could only watch as Chenchen headshotted him and ran to defuse.
"Zhang Yang! You had bullets! Why didn't you shoot!?" Liu Zixuan exploded. "What, did you go soft because that girl was pretty? If she doesn't strip, WE have to strip!"
Zhang Yang was speechless. Both his M4 and Glock had ammo. What happened? Hacked?
He looked around and nearly vomited blood. "Miss… you unplugged my mouse…"
