Gonna Get Wrecked!

Preparation time for round thirty.

Life called a timeout.

"Th... this isn't right, is it?"

"Where do we hit next round?"

Life's tone was somewhat stiff.

CT's economy was clearly not looking good.

Even with the previous losing-streak bonus, Wings Up couldn't possibly afford full rifles and full utility this round.

Their original plan had been to speed up and RUSH B, then get taken out by smokes, flashes, grenades, and fire.

But with CT at an economic disadvantage, the defenders at B would likely be unable to afford enough damaging utility while trying to complete their weapon buys.

What if Qin Feng jumped down from B Second Floor and broke through B Site outright?

They were actors, but they couldn't just hand the round over.

"How about... a mid-to-B split?"

"Aether, use your Sniper Rifle to hold mid. The four of us will go through B Second Floor and hit B."

The usually silent Dark suddenly spoke up timidly.

Qin Feng stretched lazily and replied, "Sure."

His four teammates all smiled at him.

After all, the match was still being livestreamed.

The cameras were still faithfully recording every moment in the practice room.

Although all four of them hated Qin Feng to the core.

They still had to pretend they were absolutely thrilled.

So damn annoying!

The thirty-second timeout passed in an instant.

As expected, the four TBD players headed toward B Second Floor.

Every one of them was praying in their hearts.

They only hoped the other side wouldn't push mid, so Qin Feng wouldn't be able to help TBD gain an early man advantage.

Or that the defenders at B would at least have decent aim and not spread their bullets everywhere.

As long as they made it to overtime, they would still have plenty of room to maneuver.

Thus, the four of them carried the bomb to B Second Floor with complicated thoughts, preparing to walk quietly and dry peek.

As for throwing utility... Life was genuinely afraid Wings Up wouldn't be able to hold.

But what Life and the others failed to notice was that, five seconds after the round began, just as Qin Feng was about to leave the Terrorist Base buy zone—

Qin Feng directly dropped the Sniper Rifle in his hands and switched to the strongest rifle the Terrorists could buy—the AK-47.

However, because of the spectator UI, everyone in the livestream saw that choice clearly.

[A God's Sniper Rifle is so insane. Why did he suddenly switch to a rifle?]

[Is he planning to speed things up?]

[Actually, the more I use a Sniper Rifle, the more I realize that a sniper's abilities have limits! So I'm not using a Sniper Rifle anymore, JoJo!]

[Maybe he's worried about an enemy push. After all, God A is holding mid alone. If they pick up that sniper, this round could get pretty dangerous.]

Even Ma Xixi and Mo in the livestream didn't quite understand Qin Feng's decision.

"Hey, why did Aether throw away his Sniper Rifle?"

"Did TBD come up with a fast B Site strategy?"

"Is a Sniper Rifle bad for rushing?"

"There's no need for that!"

"TBD should know Wings Up has a poor economy this round. They could've just played defaults for a minute and waited for Wings Up to push out and donate kills."

"CT only has Submachine Guns and FAMAS rifles. They can't hold angles forever."

"Speeding up might give Wings Up an opportunity."

"Are the Terrorists on B Second Floor planning to walk and dry peek?"

"That completely wastes the advantage of full rifles and utility."

"Hey, wait, the director switched the camera."

"What? No one is watching mid?"

"Aether has a rifle and has already crept into the Small Dark Room?!"

The livestream had already switched to Qin Feng's first-person perspective.

The moment his teammates said the four of them would go up B Second Floor, Qin Feng had already decided how to play the round.

That was right—a dry peek through mid.

Qin Feng knew Wings Up definitely wouldn't be able to afford a Sniper Rifle this round.

They probably couldn't even throw many Flashbangs for clearing angles.

Judging from the reactions of Life, Dark, and the others, Wings Up would most likely stack B this round.

At least three at B.

Moreover, when Qin Feng had been using the Sniper Rifle earlier, he had constantly pressured zzqq in mid.

Sure enough, Wings Up's two A defenders chose to turtle up at A Site.

Just like that, Qin Feng alone moved unobstructed from Mid Catwalk into the Small Dark Room.

Meanwhile, Wings Up's five players were completely unaware.

Just as Life and the others were about to reach the B Second Floor window, Qin Feng stepped out from the Small Dark Room ahead of them, taking the angle from B Small toward B Site.

Two enemies instantly entered his sight.

One CT was tucked against White Car.

The other CT was holding B Second Floor from behind Sofa.

"Tap."

An AK round left the barrel.

[TBD.Aether used AK-47 to headshot and kill Wings Up.McrT3N]

He instantly killed the CT who had been watching B Second Floor from outside White Car.

"What's going on?"

Chichichi, hiding behind Sofa, froze for a moment before lowering his head, trying to use the Sofa as cover and avoid the Terrorist's line of fire from B Small.

"Rat-a-tat." What greeted him was Qin Feng's AK spray through the wall.

[TBD.Aether used AK-47 to wallbang headshot and kill Wings Up.Chichichi]

"My god?"

"That aim is ridiculous. He doesn't negotiate with you."

Ma Xixi praised, "Now I know why Aehter switched from the Sniper Rifle."

"He's even more aggressive than Ping Tou Ge, ENCE.dycha."

"Bold, yet meticulous."

"He judged that the opponents wouldn't dare contest mid and dry peeked without throwing any utility."

"First, he one-tapped McrT3N at White Car. Then he transferred his spray and wallbanged chichichi, who was hiding behind the low wall at Sofa."

"With the teammates at the Bomb Site dead, zzqq's Scout Rifle at Market will have a hard time making an impact."

"And the remaining two CTs have only just started running over from A Site with their knives out."

"Could this be it? Are they gonna get wrecked?"

Ma Xixi had only gotten halfway through the word "wrecked" when the third kill notification appeared on-screen.

[TBD.Aether used AK-47 to headshot and kill Wings Up.zzqq]

The Scout Rifle that swung out from Market for the trade did deal 71 damage to Qin Feng.

But Qin Feng instantly returned fire and took him down with a single bullet.

Round thirty had only just begun, and Wings Up's B Site had already fallen!

All that remained were He Chu Mi Chang An and JokerChild at A Site, their faces ashen.

As for Life, he moved toward B Site like a puppet on strings, putting on a show as he searched the site for fifteen seconds.

Left with no choice, he finally planted the C4 he had been carrying for so long at B Site Bomb.

[7355608]

[The bomb has been planted]

Even though TBD's remaining players wildly whiffed whenever they fired at the retaking CTs, they still couldn't reverse Wings Up's defeat.

No more miracles occurred.

After his teammates died, the only remaining He Chu Mi Chang An exposed his entire back to Dark.

No matter how unwilling Dark was, he still pulled the trigger of his AK-47.

[TBD.Dark used AK-47 to kill Wings Up.He Chu Mi Chang An]

[T Side wins.]

The score settled at 16-14.

Everyone except Qin Feng—the other nine players in the match—took off their headsets and slumped into their gaming chairs.

Life stared blankly at the ceiling above him.

He had no idea how he was supposed to explain this to the boss after the match.

He couldn't even imagine how Wings Up had allowed Qin Feng to pull off a one-versus-five clutch.
