Chapter 340 Initiate the Attack
When news of Time-travel Bar accepting the challenge came out, the entire live broadcast industry entered a frenzy. This was equivalent to a public statement notifying of an upcoming bloody storm in the live broadcast industry. Since raindrops come after thunder, they would only end with a thunder.
It was a match of the century between the current leader in the live broadcast industry and one that once reigned. This may be the case, but after Time-travel Broadcast Company’s continuous defeat recently, fans were saying that they did not look forward to it.
“What else is there to fight? Just surrender already instead of taking on a big challenge.”
“Who knows? Time-travel Bar had already lost so badly, if they continue to fight, they will just end up with scattered corpses.”
“Thinking about how I used to love Tang Xia and Ye Yifan from Time-travel Bar so much. Such sorrow, such pity!”
“…”
Looking at the fans’ comments on her phone, Tang Xia could not help feeling shocked. This time around, Time-travel Bar seemed to be going all out. The two companies had made a bet.
[The side that loses in the final match has to exit the live broadcast industry forever and never reenter.]
Ye Yifan, who was preparing at one side, was also silent. Both of them had not had a real talk in a few days. It was inevitable to feel awkward when they were together.
At this moment, July came walking towards them slowly in her high heels. Looking at both of them, she could not help but sigh helplessly. “Who knows? The company really went all in this time around. If you two lose this match, you will be barred from the live broadcast industry forever. You two have to think about it carefully.”
July sighed helplessly. Tang Xia stood up slowly. Looking at the streamers not far from them who were getting ready together, her gaze grew deeper uncontrollably. Her hands slowly turned into fists and she muttered, “I won’t, this time around, I won’t.”
After saying that, she turned around directly and walked towards the broadcast room’s entrance. July felt inexplicably sad as she watched her back view. Actually, Ye Yifan felt the same too as he sat at one side.
This was because of all the people here, only two of them understood what Tang Xia was thinking. They were very clear that if it was not for Chu Tiankuo, Tang Xia would never come back so easily.
“Alright July, bring them together. Time’s almost up, we should start.” Ye Yifan also finished getting ready. He got up to prepare to enter the broadcast room.
Seeing that they were ready, July gathered the streamers. The group of people lined up to enter the broadcast room. Tang Xia and Ye Yifan were the first to start.
Before they entered the game, they were already familiar with the rules of the game.
It was something like this: [Both sides will carry out a team battle and be divided into two teams – Time-travel Bar and Cross-era. These two teams will be led by Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan respectively. Whichever team defeats the other completely first will win.]
The system repeated the mission rules again after the two parties entered. Meanwhile, Tang Xia looked at the fortress not far away from them and the feelings of hatred and determination filled her heart.
When all the streamers have all entered and were ready to start the game, a system prompt appeared in front of everyone suddenly. [Game Start]
Instantly, the people on both sides listened to their respective team leaders’ assignments and how they should guard themselves. This was because the map given was random, so both parties would not be able to have made a combat plan in advance.
The place they were assigned to was very similar to the scene in the vampire episode, except that both parties were in castles that were not far away from each other. As compared to the previous game, this was a smaller scale battle.
After Ye Yifan assigned everyone their roles, they settled down and started to guard their own areas. Tang Xia was assigned to the storm troopers, which was what she wanted. Hence, both parties started a long tug of war.
“This time around, we must be careful. We cannot panic simply because this battle is determinant of our live broadcast career. At times like this, all the more we should focus and devote ourselves to it. This time around, we must let Cross-era know what are true skills!”Access vi pnovel.com
Ye Yifan stood in front of the group of streamers to emancipate their minds. Although this was necessary, it still seemed a little funny from Tang Xia’s perspective.
After all, Tang Xia was always the one giving commands in the past. Ye Yifan would always stay behind her. She was also assured to leave her back to him.
On the opposite side, Cross-era did not have any movement. They just preserved their energy. Both parties were waiting for the moment for the war to start.
Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia who was beside him. He kept on having this feeling that something about her was off. He could not help but ask in a low voice, “What’s wrong? You seem more nervous than me.”
Tang Xia was startled. She did not expect him to speak to her after so many days. Hence, she was a little not customed to it. She gave him a faint smile and loosened her tightly-clenched fists and said, “Nothing, isn’t it normal to be nervous?”
After saying so, she slowly let her hands down and continued to focus on the nearby Cross-era’s movement. Suddenly, Ye Yifan pulled her back violently. He said in a low voice, “Tang Xia, this time around, you cannot do things at your own pace. Everything is under my command. This match is very important, so you must be careful.”
However, Tang Xia was a little dissatisfied with what he just said. She looked at him with some annoyance in her gaze, as if there was some anger. She swallowed her own feelings and said solemnly, “I know that this is important. But for Mu Chengxuan’s side, us being too careful might lead us to his trap. Why not we just give our best shot all at once and take them by surprise!”
Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia’s eyes and felt her becoming weirder. However, just when he wanted to say something, there was suddenly a loud bang. Both of them were startled and they turned their heads to look.
The bottom of the castle had been blown by a grenade thrown over a long distance. Instantly, a large group of people swarmed upwards. Tang Xia and Ye Yifan were shocked. Both of them quickly went down to prepare their weapons and take on the fight.Access vi pnovel.com
Since this battle was set to be a fair round, the weapons, guns, and ammunition were all evenly distributed. They could also search for them outside the castle, but risk being caught. Hence, until now, no one dared to take the risk.
Tang Xia was holding onto the submachine gun which she loved to use in a shootout. Although it was small, it was definitely enough in fighting head-on. For Chu Tiankuo, she could not allow himself to lose in this battle no matter what. Hence, this fight seemed to be determinant of the rest of her life.
The energetic and daring Tang Xia was not afraid at all. She directly charged forward with her submachine gun. Having good gun skills, Tang Xia eliminated three to four people at once. Her firepower caused everyone in Cross-era to start to fear. Soon, all firepower started to concentrate on her only.
She also suffered a few shots, but thanks to her dodging skills, they were not considered for her to be eliminated. She quickly hid somewhere and used the first-aid kit. She sprang to life instantly and once again charged forward with her gun.
Tang Xia was too powerful, causing Cross-era to gradually retreat. Just then, Mu Chengxuan could not stand it anymore. He pulled out his sniper rifle and a shot hit on Tang Xia’s body with a loud bang.
Fortunately, it was just a shot in the arm. Ye Yifan, who was protecting Tang Xia from the back, was shocked by Mu Chengxuan’s sniper sound. After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to retreat.
“Retreat! Let’s retreat first! Do not press the enemy at bay! Let’s go back to recuperate!” Once this was said, many people planned to retreat. However, Tang Xia continued to charge forward, as if she did not hear it.
Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia charging forward desperately, risking her life. He was instantly annoyed. Seeing that she was even leading a group of people, their whole team would die here if she continued like that.
He quickly ran over and grabbed hold of her. He shouted at her against the backdrop of gunfire, “I said retreat, didn’t you hear me!” However, Tang Xia flung his hand away directly. She did not even know that he was grabbing onto her arm earlier. With her gun in hand, she trampled into Cross-era’s defense zone.
Seeing that she was already crazy, Ye Yifan called onto two people and rushed forward with them. Just when Tang Xia was about to continue making her shots, Ye Yifan suddenly toughened up, pulled her behind a building, and snatched away her gun.
The two people behind them rushed over quickly. Before waiting for Tang Xia to respond, they tied her up using the coats they had taken off earlier as ropes.
“Ye Yifan! How dare you tie me up!” Tang Xia could not help but shout angrily. Before she could finish saying that sentence, they stuffed a cloth into her mouth. Both of them carried her back to their base.
Everyone saw this scene and then started to retreat. Meanwhile, back at the base, Ye Yifan threw her onto the ground directly. Tang Xia already had a few gunshot wounds. When she fell onto the ground, the pain was too much for her and she frowned deeply in pain.
“Logistics, quickly come over and bandage Tang Xia’s wounds!” Ye Yifan saw the situation and quickly called for help. A few girls who did not know how to use guns also quickly ran over. Although they did not have medical knowledge, the system would do the job as this was just a game.
Hence, they did not need to move much. She would be fine after they take out the bullets and address her wounds. While she was being treated, they carried her into a room. This room resembled the one that she had in the castle last time. However, this process still made her feel like she was on the verge of death.
After the logistics dressed all her wounds, Ye Yifan finally could not help but reprimanded her severely, “Do you know what the consequences are if you do this? Did I tell you right from the start that you must obey my commands?”
