Chapter 5: Chapter 5: Orchid
Crunch crunch
Boots sank into the gravel slowly with each step. Wang Chaihong lifts her finger slightly off her 'W' key, preventing her character from moving. "There are footsteps near me. Possibly two people."
Yang Jinbao looks around from the window above and attaches a barrel to her gun " I see the third man entering the building opposite. Dal is right above him."
Kang Dal peeks from behind a door, hovering over his gun trigger. He presses his 'Tab' button to check his inventor, he has to make sure his resources are enough "I think he is still looting around. I can do one fight."
Wang Chaihong registers the information from both of them, she smiles " Ambush the solo. I will distract the duo here. I will lower their health, it should be enough time for you both to back me up... Once you finish your fight, finish mine."
Caster 1: It looks like the teams at Shipping Yard will start a fight soon! One from each team is isolated from their team. What will they do?
Caster 2: Seems like Team 5 will make a move first!
Yang Jinbao and Kang Dal moved immediately, setting up an ambush. Wang Chaihong pulls the pin from her smoke grenade and tosses it from the enemy's back. The duo pulls out their gun, readying themselves for the next fight.
Bang bang
Caster 2: Bao and Moon are moving towards the isolated member of Team 7! He doesn't know about this setup! How will he react ?!
The sound of a gunfight could be heard from afar, and the duo panicked as they watched their teammate's health bar turn red. They rush out of the smoke, hoping to rescue their dying teammate.
Caster 1: It seems like he caught up in the crossfire of both of them! It seems all hope is lost for him!
In a split second, Wang Chaihong runs toward a wall to gain momentum. She bounced off the wall and pulled out her charged shotgun. She aimed at their back and she cracked one of their shields. She immediately dove behind a crate that is not visible through the smoke.
Caster 2: Marco, look at that! It seems Team 5 solo member, rainBow is planning to take on both Team 7 members!
Caster 1: She is using a wall jump! Technique that only high-ranking players know! She cracked one of their shields! How will Team 7 respond?!
The duo instantly turns around, frantically trying to identify Wang Chaihong's location. She then pulls out her remaining grenade and tosses it overhead. She darts towards the enemy to distract them from the grenade falling.
Caught off guard by Wang Chaihong's sudden charge, the duo swiftly raised their guns, aiming in her direction. As bullets rain down, she lowers herself and dodges all the bullets. As their reload timer goes up, she lands a shot in one of their head, and his body drops to the ground.
The sharp, echoing sound of their downing reverberated in his ears, his heart raced when his teammate's health bar flashed red. His hand trembles, and he raises his gun once more to fire back but his shots are too fast and too clumsy.
Wang Chaihong chuckles at the sight of panicking character in front of her, she pulls out her shotgun once more and fires away. Another body drops to the ground and their bodies instantly turn into death bags.
Team 7's HUD on the big screen turns grey. The crowd roars wildly at the gameplay they just witnessed before their eyes.
Caster 1: Unbelievable! Team 7 didn't stand a chance! It was like a swift clean kill by a predator! MapoTofu perfectly showcases a play of a Grandmaster*!
Caster 2: That was a great play—honestly, as good as any of the guys in the tournament.
Lu Yufei raised his eyebrow at the caster's comment "Someone isn't right in his head." He looks at Zhang LiQiang, hoping he was impressed by the fight earlier.
Zhang LiQiang leans forward to look at Team 5's table, especially at the woman dressed all black from head to toe, covering her face to mask her identity. "The three of them are all skilled but could only pull that fight off if they had a good call from someone."
"Maybe from Moon or Dal? They coordinated their attack." Lu Yufei takes a guess. Zhang LiQiang folds his arm across his chest and leans back in his seat, he shakes his head "No, it's MapoTofu. Her attacks may seem swift to others but it was perfectly timed for the other two to finish up their fight and loot around before backing her up"
'She delayed them with the smoke grenade and did a follow-up surprise attack to take their mind off their dying teammate to focus on her.' he takes a deep breath, he thought ' She would be a good fit for the team but I can't be hasty, I need to watch a little longer. '
Kang Dal's muffled laughs could be heard through her headphones when they arrived at the scene, "What backup, Hong jiejie? You already finished up the fight."
Wang Chaihong chuckles as she loots the death bags "You should have seen the panic in their shots earlier."
Yang Jinbao hurriedly looted one of the death bags as well, she checked the map "We should move in soon, the storm circle is about to close."
Caster 1: 10 teams are already out of the match! The second ring is about to close soon.
Caster 2: Teams are rotating to a more advantageous spot! Team 10 and Team 5 are not far from each other!
