CF Crossing the Fireline of the Soul ~ Chapter Three

Chapter 3: The Match Begins

At 1:30 PM, rAn, TuTu, and three others arrived at their small private room in the internet cafe to warm up. The room continuously echoed with 'crack, crack' sounds. Anyone passing by and hearing this would surely think someone inside had been incapacitated by a martial arts master, their limbs broken. In fact, they were just warming up, cracking their fingers one by one with audible 'crack, crack' noises. Around a quarter past one, Fei Ge pushed open the door and entered the room, 'They've already arrived. The referee will come to check the computers soon. The official start is at 2 PM. Do you want to go down and meet them?'

'Are there any girls?' Before Fei Ge could finish speaking, Jian Bao seemed to suddenly appear in front of him and asked this.

'Damn, you only think about women. If you don't perform well, I'll get you a bunch of older ladies!' Fei Ge, half angry and half amused, punched Jian Bao.

'Oh, then I won't go see them. I'm keeping calm these days. Leave the older ladies to rAn; he tends to lose his temper!' Jian Bao replied lewdly to Fei Ge.

'No wonder you're called Jian Bao, truly shameless!' Fei Ge turned and went downstairs.

The five of Mei Ying Yi Ren were also led by Fei Ge to another private room. Since the rooms were completely enclosed, each internet cafe sent an admin to the other's room to prevent any cheating. The referee checked both teams' computers, and after confirming everything was normal, created a 5V5 match room on a deserted channel, with the Black Town map. When rAn entered the match room, the opposing team was composed of five people from different teams.

'Damn, a random team!' TuTu was the first to speak, 'This is easy to play against, I love bullying random teams!'

'Don't be careless, they aren't necessarily rookies!' Although rAn knew that random teams generally didn't coordinate well, these players were probably temporarily assembled, yet he still couldn't afford to be careless.

Once everyone had arrived, the referee announced the start of the match. All ten players entered the game together. Since they were playing at home at the start, MoonCity team attacked first as the criminals. Without any information or radio communication, all five charged straight to point B in unison. rAn and his teammates, who often played as the criminals on Black Town, always had the habit of rushing point B in the first round.The first rush on the B site can be used to initially probe the opponent's firepower and coordination. Generally, in the first round of a match, police teams will spread out their players, leaving someone at each key point, so a concentrated rush can catch them off guard and easily take the B site. ???? Spawn points close to B, Jianbao and Assassin first jump down the slope from the terrorists' side, then near B bridge, they throw two high-explosive grenades into the B warehouse. Right after, rAn, just as he was about to throw a flash into the B warehouse, saw the death notification appear at the top right of the screen. It turns out the police defending the B warehouse tried to jump onto B bridge for recon quickly but stepped on two high-explosive grenades. ???? "Damn, why wasn't I the one who got the kill?" Jianbao shouted frustratedly. He and Assassin threw grenades simultaneously, but the one who killed the police was Assassin. ???? "Maybe it's a matter of luck!?" Assassin said with a smile. Seeing that the people in B warehouse were taken out, rAn simply threw the flash under B bridge. Then Longci, seeing the flash under the bridge, switched to smoke and threw it over B. At the same time, Tutu was crouching on the terrorist side watching the warehouse doors to prevent anyone from jumping out to ambush the machine gunners. Then, Jianbao and Assassin entered B warehouse sequentially, sticking close to the right side of the small warehouse door, while rAn and Longci watched both sides under B bridge. Seeing that there were no police defending outside the B warehouse, Longci threw his flash into the B warehouse window, landing perfectly on the empty space inside B. ???? "Sniper at B, be careful!" When Jianbao and Assassin jumped onto the boxes near the right wall of B warehouse, they immediately spotted the sniper at B. At this time, Longci's smoke thrown above B had fully spread, blocking the B sniper's view and allowing Jianbao and Assassin to safely enter B and quickly search the site. rAn, on B bridge, quickly flashed and AKed along the left wall of the door, taking out the sniper still in B dog spot. Tutu had already set up the sniper rifle to cover B Link and the terrorist side. The battle lasted only 30 seconds, and the terrorists had already completed the B site rush and successfully planted the C4. ???? The first rush on the B site indeed caught the police off guard. The three police who were defending A main and the small path did manage to rush to B to reinforce, but it was already too late. By the time the B bombsite was planted, the A main sniper and a group of machine gunners had just reached the police high platform, while the terrorists were already hidden in various spots in B. Only Tutu was holding the B bridge stairway.The two police officers, upon hearing that the package had already been pressed, immediately stopped running and switched to walking quietly. They knew that if they ran quickly to B again, they would be ambushed by the bandits hidden at various points. ??? At that moment, a sniper rifle shot rang out, and a message popped up on the screen showing that Tutu had taken out the enemy's machine gunner.
