Chapter 24: Righteous Bridge Blockade Meets Malicious Team Formation
Lin Shu and mad98 quickly replenished their health and armor durability, bringing themselves to peak condition.
"Ignore him, there's no way to hit him through all that cover. It's a waste of time to waste here."
Lin Shu put away the AW in his hand, turned to mad98 and Chen Chichi and spoke.
"Let's head straight to Fury. This area is close to the core area, so we can quickly provide support wherever there's a firefight. It's better than the president and us being locked in a stalemate."
mad98 nodded and put away his gun: "Alright, there's no point in dragging this out. Let's go test the buoyancy and centrifugal force first."
The three turned to head towards the CEO's exit. Lin Shu glanced at the chat in his live stream and saw the screen filled with comments about a car crash and dust on the bridge.
He immediately stopped, looking puzzled. "A car crash? Who did I hit? Did I get matched with someone I know well this time?"
[Brother Tree! Those two blocking the bridge are Chenyan and Long Tuanzuo!]
[It's that dust and smoke that's been trending lately; the three of them teamed up to block the suspension bridge in the East District.]
[That's the guy who just used a loitering munition to bomb you guys. He's such a master of trickery.]
"cloud of dust?"
Lin Shu frowned slightly. He had heard of this ID before. It had been very popular in the Delta streamer circle recently. The player was aggressive and particularly good at playing the "Old Six" strategy. He just didn't expect to run into this ID in this game.
Ak, the assistant standing nearby, quickly moved closer to the screen, checked the game ID against the live stream footage, and then turned to Lin Shu and said:
"Brother Shu, it's confirmed. The three on the suspension bridge are Chenyan, Long Tuanzuo, and Guo Yuxin. They're holding a position on the suspension bridge in the East District, blocking passing players. They even said in their live stream that they'll control the suspension bridge this game, and anyone who wants to get through will have to think twice."
"So it was that kid Chenyan."
Lin Shu narrowed his eyes: "You're not very old, but your playing style is pretty arrogant. You even want to control all the suspension bridges on the map. You've got quite the nerve."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chichi immediately frowned and asked, "So what do we do now?"
Lin Shu didn't reply immediately. He switched to the game's large map, his gaze falling on the Blue Room. The gate had already been pulled, and he instantly had an idea. He turned his head and said:
"Isn't he trying to monopolize the suspension bridge and control all the waypoints on the map? Then let's just go along with it."
"How can I grant your wish?"
mad98 and Chen Chichi asked in unison.
"A secret code that even strangers would understand."
Lin Shu said calmly, "There are only three of them. No matter how good they are at setting up positions and guarding bridges, they can't withstand a simultaneous attack from multiple teams. We just managed to bring them down."
Chen Chichi suddenly asked curiously, "Lin Shu, if it were you guarding the suspension bridge, and everyone on the map rushed to the bridge, could you hold it?"
Lin Shu hesitated for two seconds before truthfully saying, "If the three of us coordinate our positions and set up a defense, holding off three teams' simultaneous attacks shouldn't be a problem. With Chen Yan's skill and tactics, defending against two or three teams shouldn't be an issue either."
mad98 still had some concerns: "That's true, but random passersby might not necessarily respond to the code, right?"
Chen Chichi, on the other hand, was relaxed and waved his hand: "There's no harm in trying. If someone responds to the signal, we can team up and rush across the bridge to take them down; if no one responds, we can go to the buoyancy centrifugal force area and settle scores with them individually."
After saying that, Chen Chichi didn't wait for the two to discuss it further and immediately started using the rat code.
Meanwhile, on the suspension bridge in the eastern district.
Lin Chen was leaning against the rocket launcher shelter, chatting and resting with Long Tuanzuo and Guo Yuxin, when suddenly he heard a series of coded signals coming through his earpiece.
"Oh ho, getting desperate, huh?"
So they're starting to use coded rat signals to gather passersby and prepare to ambush our suspension bridge location, huh?
[Brother Chen got into a car accident!]
[The president's team consists of Chen Chichi, Lin Shu, and mad98 Tianba!]
[The guy with the reflective light you were just sniping from a distance was Lin Shu, the pro team's star player has arrived.]
They've recognized your IDs; they're definitely going to cause trouble. Be careful they don't gather and storm the bridge.
Lin Chen instantly understood after scanning the comments, and chuckled:
"No wonder the sniper scope on the president's glass was so conspicuous earlier. It turns out it was Big Ears Lin Shu leading the team, and he even teamed up with Miss Chen and mad98. What a coincidence that we were matched this time, running into Tianba's three-player squad."
Dragon Commander was stunned for a moment, then quickly glanced at the comments: "It really is those three? This is going to be interesting."
Guo Yuxin asked cautiously, "Is it really Brother He and the others? Should we avoid them a bit?"
Lin Chen raised an eyebrow and shook his head: "I'm avoiding their sharp edge? We just declared that we'd control the suspension bridge and dominate all the passageways on the map. Are we really going to back down and avoid a fight just because we've run into a professional team? That would be too beneath us."
Just then, responses to the coded signal came from the blue room and the central control area, clearly indicating that a group of passersby had received the assembly signal.
Lin Shu, inside the CEO's office, heard the commotion and said, "It's done. A team has indeed received the signal. The Blue Room has responded and is ready. Let's wait here for two minutes until everyone is in place before we set off together."
Two minutes later, the two teams of passersby from the central control room and the blue room arrived at the president's area one after another. Together with the three-person team of Lin Shu, Chen Chichi, and mad98, a total of three teams were assembled. Everyone was fully equipped and ready to go, heading straight for the suspension bridge in the east district, preparing to launch a joint attack.
In no time, five or six figures gradually gathered in front of the president's floor-to-ceiling glass, all of them wedged behind the glass and positioned their guns to the side.
Commander Long glanced at the scope, then immediately turned to Lin Chen and whispered a reminder:
"Dust and smoke, something's not right. They've really formed an alliance. Look at the CEO's glass area, there are five or six people gathered there all at once. They're clearly trying to gang up on the bridge."
Lin Chen followed the gaze to the president's direction, his eyes sweeping over the row of figures, a smile playing on his lips:
"Just as I expected, when they can't beat us, they're pulling in random people to form an alliance. It's obvious they're going to rush our suspension bridge position all at once."
He immediately turned to Guo Yuxin and instructed her, "Sister Yuxin, hold off on using your ultimate move for now. I'll mark the precise locations for you later, and we can just sweep through the intersections they must take to rush the bridge."
Guo Yuxin immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Meanwhile, in the CEO's area, a group of random players gathered around Lin Shu and Chen Chichi, jumping around and making gestures.
Lin Shu looked at the five or six people gathered in front of him and said, "Are any of my viewers here? If you are, please lie down on the spot to let me know."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people in the crowd immediately lay down on the spot in perfect unison.
Seeing this, Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief. With his fellow fans around, it was easier to give directions, and he no longer needed to put in the effort to get used to the rhythm of strangers.
Moreover, strangers on the street cannot communicate and can only understand each other intuitively.
"We'll split up and advance in two groups, don't crowd into one spot. You three guys will go around the prison area to the rear, and quietly sneak up to the side of the suspension bridge to cut off their retreat."
"The six of us will push out of the main entrance of the dark room, walk straight to the suspension bridge on flat ground, and set up our guns in front to draw enemy fire. Don't rush to expose yourselves. Wait until we open fire from the front, then you can flank us from the side."
"Remember not to rush in recklessly, and don't blindly peek out to fire. There are many covers on the suspension bridge, and you can easily get caught in a pincer movement. Follow the rhythm of my gunfire; when I fire, you advance in sync. Just keep a steady pace."
