Time is running out.

But the three crawlers didn't feel any sense of urgency.

When there were 5 minutes left in the game, Li Pu told Xu Jian and Yang Ge to run towards the bomb drop area first. They didn't plan to shut down the game, as they would benefit greatly from leaving.

Most importantly, the old lady had a full set of armor. Yang had already put on the armor, stuffed the remaining three AW bullets he brought in into his pocket, and discarded his backpack.

Two of the Creepers were already running toward the dropped packet. Trident was unaware of this. As the time ticked away, they finally moved. At 4 minutes and 50 seconds, the entire Trident team advanced.

One person ran downstairs to grab a brick, while the other two on the second floor tried to catch Wei Long, who was closer, while keeping an eye on the Blue Room staircase.

Having figured out Trident's plan, Li Pu jumped off the second floor and knocked down MAD98, who was trying to grab bricks in the chaos. Then, he played a game of "Qin Wang Rao Zhu" with the remaining two members of Trident next to the big pillar on the first floor.

Li Pu was eventually arrested by the two, but he had already achieved his goal. With only 4 minutes and 14 seconds left in the game, there was simply not enough time for Trident to get the brick to the decoding point. This round of Mandel Brick ended in a draw.

While Yang was withdrawing from the packet loss area, under Xu Jian's cover, he encountered DIA, who also wanted to grab the packet loss. Meanwhile, BSG had already taken the ascension to the launch pad.

Xu Jian desperately hindered DIA, successfully causing Brother Yang to abandon his mission and retreat.

They brought out a set of level 6 armor that wasn't fully durable and two guns.

Chapter 248 All in!

The Creepers have been wiped out, but the game is not over yet; there are still three teams left on the field.

DIA had just dealt with Xu Jian, while Li Pu was arrested by Trident in the garden.

Deciphering the Mandel Brick was too late; at this point, the only place left on the entire field was the launch pad, where one could finally evacuate.

After finishing his meal, BSG, seeing that the bricks below were still not moving, got off the CEO ahead of DIA and headed straight for Ascendant via the rat path. Just as the attack by the human-machine group on the launch pad was about to end, Trident and DIA ran towards the Ascendant at the same time.

One team walked across the bridge while the other took a detour via a side path. After Chicken Bro was beaten up, both teams, who had been lying low for a while, started to move.

However, BSG also sensed a chill down its spine and failed to open the launch bay immediately, with only one minute and thirty seconds left on the countdown.

Trident and DIA were getting increasingly worried when the launch pad crew didn't open the launch bay. A few seconds later, Trident was spotted on the opposite bridge, and at the same time, DIA, who was hiding under their feet, was also spotted by BSG.

Realizing that both teams wanted to compete for the Ascension BSG, they finally made a decision.

None of you should live!

"Hahaha~ Get completely lost in the moment!"

Not long after, the Creepers burst into laughter. There were 59 seconds left on the in-game countdown, and the launch pod was still not activated. BSG did not activate the launch pod and instead chose to explode along with the two teams that came to try to steal the Ascension.

At this moment, both Trident and DIA looked like they had swallowed a fly.

If it weren't for the fact that it was a match, both teams would have liked to exchange secret signals and leave together. The Trident team was the one who felt the most uncomfortable.

Not only was I stuck in the Garden the whole game, completely blocked by the Creepers, but I was also tricked by the Absurd Guy. He first killed MAD98 who wanted to get the brick, and then used the Qin King's Pillar Circling to kill Master Dragon. The Trident almost wiped out the team.

BSG chose to engage them at the last remaining evacuation point, and the entire Trident team has not had a single moment of peace throughout the entire game.

At 58 seconds, the BSG opened its rocket bay. At that moment, two triple-barreled cannon shots came from across the bridge, while a homing missile came up from below the platform.

The following battles were pointless; Yang became the only player to withdraw in this round, and the Creeper team also led the most players out of the game.

Liu Tao alone gave the fake account a value of 450 million, but they barely searched the Creeper, and the group didn't have much loot in their pants. In the end, they only brought out 500 million. Even without considering the fake account and the cost of the equipment, they were still at a loss.

The remaining five teams have a maximum of 100 million and a minimum of only 28.

After the fourth round, the asset rankings of several teams were updated.

The creeper ranked first with assets of 2800 million, and also had a one-brick advantage in the match.

The second place is MDY, with assets of 1600 million. MDY has been quite restrained in preserving assets in these games, and their gains in the previous games were also quite good. In the second game, their tower top squirrel alone preserved 700 million in gains.

Trident ranks third, with assets of 1500 million.

BSG ranked fourth, with assets of 1300 million.

Fifth in the Avengers rankings, with assets of 1250 million.

DIA is the worst off, the sixth oldest, with assets of only 1100 million.

Four matches were played in total. The Creeper successfully retreated in the first three matches. In the fourth match, although Li Pu and Xu Jian did not leave, they managed to save Yang Ge and allow him to bring out a lot of things when everyone was lost. This was a pure gain.

The asset gap between the other teams is not that big, and they can all be surpassed within one game. However, when facing the Creepers, their assets are not enough. To surpass the closest team to the Creepers, MDY, they would have to clear the map and retreat at least once.

As for Lao Liu's DIA, he had to clear the map and retreat for two rounds. In such a high-intensity game, clearing the map once is already difficult, let alone clearing it twice.

The creeper's advantage is now quite obvious.

If they don't make any mistakes and get eliminated early in the next two games, they have a very high chance of winning the championship.

The advantage is obvious, but it's not 100%. As the saying goes, "He who walks a hundred miles is only halfway there at ninety," and the difference might just be that one last push. All three members of the Creeper team understood this principle.

Therefore, the conversation between the three at this moment was not to cheer on their teammates, but to remind them to be careful.

The strategy for the fifth round was the same as the fourth round: surround the bricks and attack the reinforcements, only taking the bricks to decode when there was a high degree of confidence.

The three of them tallied up the usage of the five sets and five bullets by several teams. They had used quite a few five bullets, but the use of the five sets was still quite conservative. With only two matches left, the Creeper also brought out his trump card: the five sets.

Not only that, Li Pu also equipped himself with the six armors that Brother Yang had brought. He also carried a full set of five armors with full durability in his backpack as a spare.

The three Creepers weren't there for food, so they naturally didn't care how much their backpacks could hold.

The old woman's nail was not durable and could not be repaired, so Li Pu used it as a disposable nail.

Regarding the choice of operators, Luna has already been used twice and has been banned. Yang chose Gu, a fully armed creeper that can be buffed by relying on its passive and adrenaline.

With the smoke grenade in place, Xu Jian countered with Lao Hei, increasing the pressure from the items and the potential defensive pressure.

Li Pu chose his favorite team, Wei Long, and played the assault position.

~~~~

"Alright! All players have taken their positions. Let's take a look at the spawn points of each team!"

"MDY was born in the dormitory building first, DIA was born in Xida, Avengers control, BSG two members, Creeper prison two, Trident prison three."

"MDY fired two shots with his hand cannon at the West Gate as usual, but the angle was a bit too high and it didn't cause any damage. The two members of the BSG chose to go straight over the point. The Avengers also did their job and interacted with them, getting a few shots but no casualties."

"Lao San's trident was used to swipe Dong Diao's card directly. Instead of jumping down from the black market, he went straight down the small bridge."

"The crawlers in prison two immediately ran towards prison one. The gunshot from the second officer earlier had already indicated to them that prison two was empty."

"Let's take a look at the equipment situation. There are a lot of five sets of equipment used in this game. MDY has all five sets, and Avengers and BSG have also brought their remaining two sets of five. DIA and Trident have already used up their five sets in the second brick game, so they can only use four sets to fight against five sets!"

"We can see that a set of red helmets stands out in a row of players. The eccentric guy from the crawler team actually brought along the old lady Liu Tao from the last game. Not only that, Xu Jian and Yang Ge are also equipped with five sets!"

"What's going on this time? Almost every team brought five sets. Is it some kind of telepathic connection between experts? Are they going to decide the final winner in this round?"

Chapter 249 Smoke and Fire

"In the fourth round, the other teams couldn't get any bricks because of the Creeper. The Creeper, who had the match point advantage, also had an asset advantage. The other teams knew that the fifth round might be their last chance!"

"Yes! The asset gap is too big. The only way to win the championship is to win the double bricks. So the ownership of the Mandel in this fifth game is very important! Only teams other than the Creepers can compete with the Creepers for the final championship if they get the bricks in this game!"

"This match is definitely going to be an epic battle! Let's wait and see how the teams perform!"

~~~~

The commentators could think of what the Creeper could think of, which is why the Creeper went all out with full gear this time, even sparing no expense to equip the only Liu Tao set in the game.

"Damn it, this spawn point!"

After landing, Yang couldn't help but swear.

The spawn point of Prison 2 was too overpowered, and Xu Jian couldn't help but frown.

In the previous game, the three Creepers were spawned at position one, and two of them could directly pass through the point and enter the core area. In this game, they will spawn at points two and three. In the aerospace, point two is the central control room and prison two, while point three is the dormitory and prison three.

Although the spawn point is indeed the second position, it is very disadvantageous for the three crawlers at the moment, because they cannot control the bricks immediately.

"Even if I'm born in the third level of the prison, it's fine. I can still try to grab the second floor of the Blue Room by farming cards."

At this point, if Prison 2 wants to enter the inner area, it can either follow Prison 3 or cross from Prison 2 to the central control bridge. Both of these locations could be ambushed. If they are attacked first, they will be at a disadvantage. If they are occupied and ambushed, they will be at an even greater disadvantage.

"Let's go check the central control room first, and put the bricks aside for now."

Li Pu didn't say anything. The bricks would respawn in 3 minutes. If they could successfully enter the point, there might still be a chance to control the bricks.

Just as the three Creepers were running towards the central control point, BSG, after passing the central control point, stopped at the Blue Room stairs just like the Creepers in the previous game. DIA, after passing the West Gate, searched the Centrifuge a bit and went up to the second floor connection.

These two teams, like the previous team, the Creepers and the Trident, formed a pincer movement on the second floor of the garden, protecting the Mandel Brick spawn point on the first floor.

Although DIA had already used up four of their five sets, they understood the importance of this round. They had the fewest assets, and whether they could win the brick round would determine whether they could secure a top-three finish. Their slim hope of competing for the championship also rested on this brick round.

The opposing BSG team also considered this game to be the most important one, with almost the same idea as DIA.

Both teams are waiting for the Mandel bricks to refresh.

The other teams also had a strong interest in the bricks. Before the bricks respawned, the Avengers sneaked up on the CEO and actually took a few bites.

After Trident passed the point and went east, he waited for a minute before entering the black market, where he kept an eye on the direction of the respawn point from the entrance of the black market.

MDY did not enter the core area immediately. After the three of them finished eating in the dormitory, they sneaked into the core area from the West University along the rat trail. By then, they had reached the vicinity of the centrifugal slope.

The three crawlers successfully entered the central control area and were now crawling in front of the central control zipline. Li Pu, with an AW rifle, and Xu Jian, with an M700, were both watching the situation in the garden.

Both of them saw people on the stairs on both sides, and naturally knew that there were already two groups of people eyeing the Mandel bricks on the first floor of the garden.

"Move in!"

With only 30 seconds left before the bricks respawned, the three Creepers confirmed that no one was near the dormitory or the two sides of the bridge, and then used the zipline to leap onto the bridge.

At this moment, Li Pu, as the assault position, walked at the forefront. He was equipped with level 6 armor, a PKM, and the AW he had "picked up". He gave the five sets of equipment in his backpack to Brother Yang, who took on the heavy responsibility of "carrying" his subordinate.

Li Pu's set of dual pistols and six sets of equipment was already on the edge of being overweight. Carrying the spare set of five sets would make him overweight. As the most important damage dealer in the team, his stamina bar needs to be taken care of.

The three carefully made their way to the other side of the bridge and then formed a battle formation.

"The core area has a decryption point connecting the black market and the second floor of Fuli. Brother Yang, squat at the exit of the Blue Room. If anyone comes, retreat immediately and don't fight. You have cigarettes so you can retreat. Xu Jian, don't get too close. Just stay at the bottom of the stairs and watch the Fuli roller shutter door."

"We can't control Brick now. We can only watch where they run off to decipher the code. I'll provide support from the bridge and keep an eye on the garden. We'll rendezvous with Brick as soon as there's any movement from their side."

There are four decoding points on the map. Two of them are in the core area, connecting the first floor of the Black Market and the second floor of the Buoyancy Zone. The other two are in the dormitory and the sandy area between the central control prison.

Yesterday, in the three matches of Groups A and B, only the Black Market and Buoyancy decoding points were used. Therefore, after collecting bricks in the game, there is a high probability that the decoding will be performed at these two decoding points.

The three crawlers were ready and able to react the instant the bricks began to move.

The countdown to the brick's respawn was about to end, and all the teams turned their attention to the brick.

DIA and BSG remained on guard of the staircases on both sides as usual. The Avengers had also returned to the buoyancy corridor and were waiting on the stairs. The Trident members were at the entrance of the black market, guarding against any enemies that might appear at the centrifugal entrance.

MDY was now slowly moving up the centrifugal ramp, trying not to make a sound.

[We've discovered the Mandelbrot brick and the decryption device; bring them back at all costs!]

The moment the countdown ended, the voice message of Mandel's refresh rang in all the operators' headsets. At the same moment, a homing missile was fired from the Blue Room staircase by the BSG team, with its target directly aimed at the Mandel brick on the first floor.

The explosion of the homing missile signaled the start of the battle for the other squads.

It's time to fight!

The location of BSG is a good one for the crawlers because they can directly set up their positions at the brick-farming spot downstairs, but it's not so good for BSG.

Because they went down to get bricks from the location connected to the Blue Room, they couldn't directly return to the Centrifuge from the back door of the first-floor stairs like they could with the Centrifuge. They had to go around to get back to the Black Market or the Blue Room.

BSG needs to grab bricks, while the creeper just prevents other teams from taking them. The difference in their motivations leads to a difference in the quality of their positions.

On the first floor of the garden, Wen Qi from DIA had already sneaked out of the first-floor door and was now guarding the stairs not far from the bricks. From his position, he could see the Mandel bricks directly, but the footsteps above him made him dare not take the bricks too openly.

Although Wen Qi still had two cigarettes left from using Red Wolf, there was a cutscene when he went to get the brick. Even just those few seconds in the smoke were enough for him to die several times over.

Furthermore, the BSG had just fired its homing missile, and the small bombs that fell out had just detonated. The warning message from this homing missile couldn't be more obvious.

At this moment, BSG's Gloria also ran to the middle of the garden, near where Li Pu was lying down, already on guard against the possibility of Li Zicheng's team trying to steal the bricks.

The smoke of battle is gradually spreading...

Chapter 250 A Brick Delivered to the Door

"The Mandel brick has been unlocked, and the atmosphere has become tense in an instant. Both DIA and BSG have shown their intention to seize the brick, and DIA, which is guarding the centrifugal position, has already reached the point."

"Wen Qi has already been discovered. Gloria has located Wen Qi and not only stopped his actions with a single arrow, but also swept him out!"

"Wenqi had no choice but to give up his position and retreat. BSG's Xiaoshui landed a fireball that landed precisely on Wenqi, putting him in a passive position and leaving him disconnected from his two teammates on the second floor!"

"MDY has reached the near point of the ramp. The unlocking of the bricks has left YAY, who was originally guarding the ramp, with no time to pay attention to the movement on the ramp. He and Xiao Yan have taken down the BSG on the other side!"
