Chapter 715 - 300: Breakup
The audience, who were eagerly waiting for the plot twist, now felt utterly disheartened.
This is the world championship stage, a battle between the sixteen strongest teams. Falling into an absolute disadvantage at the start not only throws away thirty percent luck factor but also puts us in a disadvantageous terrain, where individual skills can be at most seventy percent effective.
In fact, that’s just how it is.
After the Koala Team couldn’t gain the upper hand in a gunfight, they were forced to keep trying to find opportunities until the toxic circle moved in, and the enemy retreated a bit.
Even so, it was still challenging, though not as oppressive as before. At least there was a bit of room to maneuver.
"Someone come with me on the motorbike to charge in. If we wait any longer, there won’t be any chance left."
Li Yang quickly made his decision.
He decided to drive to make sure if there was a mistake, his teammates wouldn’t be blamed.
His fans are too fierce; the three team members probably couldn’t handle the online pressure.
If he made one or two errors, it’s no big deal, his fans have enough tolerance and would make excuses for him.
"Just do your best. Yang God’s not just playing professionally; he has other things to handle. Maintaining his current competitive state is already remarkable."
"With Yang God’s current market value, he doesn’t need to compete anymore. He’s doing it for us fans; having something to watch is a blessing, and besides, Yang God still possesses top world-level skills, no doubt about it."
"If the Koala Team were at full strength, Yang God wouldn’t have been playing this tired..."
If Li Yang made an error, there are ten thousand excuses for him.
If a teammate made an error, in the fans’ eyes, there are ten thousand ways to die.
"Yang God is about to charge on the motorbike. It’s easy to get shot down on the way."
"The initial speed isn’t fast. This is nothing short of suicide."
"Yang God managed to loop around and picked up a bit of speed..."
"Crap, that was so darn risky, just short of being shot down."
"Made it into the circle. Now we can heal up; if we can save two, let it be two. As long as Yang God is here, there’s hope."
"Holy crap, Yang God rode the motorbike back. What’s he gonna do now? Does he want to bring the other two teammates over?"
"What do we need those two useless teammates for!"
The motorbike can only take one person at a time, so Li Yang had to make two trips.
The second trip was also heavily fired upon.
On the third trip, the motorbike’s tires were shot out, and the last few meters were all driven by inertia.
Even so, Li Yang was still shot down from the bike.
Fortunately, a teammate threw out a smoke grenade, and Li Yang slowly crawled to cover.
The enemies didn’t dare approach rashly because the Koala Team now had cover and there were no other positions nearby to take.
After a tense two minutes, the Koala Team survived from the brink of death and secured a decent position.
Perhaps Li Yang’s willingness to shoulder the pressure moved his teammates, as the entire team demonstrated unprecedented synergy.
They advanced from the edge, no longer disadvantaged by terrain, and their gun skills were more ferocious one by one.
At twenty-six minutes, the top-ranked team was eliminated; they scored six points this round, while the Koala Team already had eight points.
Only a six-point difference, but Koala Team had too many elimination points, so they must score seven more.
In the final moments, the circle was almost entirely filled with enemies. The Koala Team didn’t have great circle luck and needed to push forward.
Li Yang spoke again: "I’ll cover the rear. You guys push into the circle as quickly as possible. Don’t expose the right flank; let’s take out the team on the left! There can’t be much of a point difference. From here on out, every kill is a million US Dollars! When you’re young, you must seize every chance to make money, or when you’re older, those opportunities won’t be yours!"
"Don’t worry, leave the rear to me! If the left side dares to shoot at you, I’ll take out at least two of them! You three can’t take down two people?"
"Hurry, charge!"
Li Yang braved the toxic circle, contributing his last six bullets to his teammates.
This is the feel he developed over more than a decade; as soon as the enemy showed themselves, Li Yang knocked them down with three consecutive shots.
Then he immediately switched his aim to the side.
Before he went down, he took down two of the four enemies, and his three teammates rushed forward swiftly.
Ultimately, the Koala Team lost three members but wiped out this team, and except for Li Yang, the other two could still be revived.
Not only did they safely make it to the top four of the match, but the Koala Team also secured a crucial position.
As the final circle approached, the Koala Team had successfully surpassed the previous top rank.
In the intense plum blossom pole stage, when the Koala Team’s logo lit up on the screen, it meant they took first place in this match.
The Koala Team’s operation had never been top-tier, and coupled with average luck, they hadn’t been able to win chicken dinners consistently.
In the finals, this was the first and most important time.
From the start to the end, they went through two near-death situations.
The internet was buzzing...
The players hadn’t even left their seats, and the online heat spiked instantly, with thousands of updates per second.
WeChat Moments was swamped with news of the Koala Team winning the championship, and many heard of this for the first time.
Meanwhile, Li Yang stood up from his seat with a smile, walked to the front, and waved to the audience.
...
Jiang Banxia also understood this game quite well, and anything Li Yang liked, she’d take the time to learn.
No superstar had been as brilliant as Li Yang today.
A few years ago, when Kobe retired, many students took days off to watch the livestream; globally, it added up to three hundred million people, which set a record with online discussions exceeding sixteen billion related topics.
