"Do you think we'll be satisfied if we let you go get the stockings without worry?" Lower Your Head replied, "Or are you saying that if we cooperate, you'll give us a portion of the stockings?"
Lower Your Head's tone clearly showed that she didn't believe in this possibility. As for Xiao Shiqin, he was at a loss for words because of this question. He didn't feel any pressure when it came to tactics, but when it came to this sort of thing, it was hard for him to go back on his word.
Bribe the two in front of him with stockings? If it was too little, they definitely wouldn't want it. If it was too much, then why bother stealing from Ye Qiu's side? It wasn't feasible to actually do it, and Xiao Shiqin couldn't lie to the other side.
As a result, under Lower Your Head's and None Dare Attack's eyes, Excellent Era's players completed a trade, giving a pair of Christmas stockings to the characters who didn't have them. Then, the five of them split up.
This time, Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack were dumbfounded. All five of them had stockings, so it didn't matter who threw the stockings. Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack were the only two, so they couldn't confirm whose stockings had been thrown out.
But on second thought, the two suddenly realized: in this sort of situation, was there even a need to confirm who threw the stockings?
The two Sharpshooters quickly chose one of them and chased after it.
When Excellent Era's players were in a team, the two of them could only watch, but now, they split up. Would Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack feel any pressure when they worked together? Of course not! The two of them were players that even Sun Xiang dared to challenge. Who in Team Excellent Era dared to fear a solo player?
The two of them set their sights on Shen Jian, who had split up. The two of them knew that the person they targeted definitely wouldn't throw the stockings away, but this time, they weren't trying to take advantage of the situation. They were trying to steal it.
At first, they were afraid that the other side would see through their intentions, so the two of them unhurriedly made some hesitant movements to cover it up. Only when they saw Excellent Era's five players split up and run did they suddenly start chasing.
The system continued to count down. Excellent Era seemed to be preparing to throw away a pair of stockings at the very last moment. But the two of them didn't care about this point. What they cared about was how to quickly catch up to Shen Jian's Striker.
Everyone's control over their endurance was equally high. The two girls had been pretending to hide their intentions, but now it was difficult for them to catch up. Fortunately, Shen Jian's Striker figure didn't escape their sight. The two sharpshooters used Aerial Fire and Sprint, but the distance between them was still being forcibly closed. At this time, the system's countdown had stopped, and the number of stockings that had been picked up returned to 19.
The two girls weren't sure if Shen Jian's Striker was lost or not, but they could clearly see the path the Striker was taking. Even if it was lost, it would still be on this path, so it wouldn't be wrong to continue chasing.
After confirming that Shen Jian hadn't dropped any stockings, the distance between the two sides closed by quite a bit. Shen Jian had also noticed the two people tailing him, so he stopped and turned around to greet them.
"As expected of a pro player. He's so confident!" Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack looked. This person seemed to be quite confident in a 1v2. He had actually stopped to wait for them. They didn't say anything else. As soon as the two characters entered attack range, they immediately raised their guns and fired.
Bang!
However, the first gunshot didn't come from their guns.
Bang! Bang! Bang bang!
The two hadn't even begun their attacks before they were stopped by a barrage of bullets. The two of them were quite experienced in actual combat. They quickly determined the direction of the bullets from the trajectory of the bullets and looked left and right. Xiao Shiqin's Mechanic and Wang Ze's Sharpshooter were already attacking from two directions.
Looking behind them, Sun Xiang's Battle Mage, Footsteps in the Wind, was as arrogant as ever, delivering himself up like a bullet. The opposing Cleric's position wasn't even for the sake of healing the entire team. It was clearly an offensive position, prepared to add bricks and tiles to his own side's attack.
"We fell for it!" The two suddenly realized.
They thought that the players of Excellent Era hadn't noticed their calculations, but now they knew that the other side had long since known of their calculations, which was why they had purposely set up such a trap for them to fall into.
Where was the discarded stocking? The two had no idea.
They wanted to steal the stocking from Shen Jian's Striker? Now, it was just wishful thinking. Right now, they should be thinking about whether or not they could escape from the encirclement of Excellent Era's pro players.
The answer seemed to be no …...
A 5v2, a perfect trap, a full encirclement. If they couldn't kill two players who had no experience in pro matches under these circumstances, then Excellent Era wouldn't deserve to be called a high-level pro team in the pro scene.
"Don't mess around anymore." Xiao Shiqin's words were spoken in a tone of advice, but in the two's ears, it sounded more like a warning. Then, the two were sent to the nearest revival point.
The two girls were depressed!
Just now, when they were surrounded by Excellent Era, they really couldn't do anything about it. They had truly experienced the skill level of a pro team. But because of this pro team's existence, their future was going to be clouded. They had gotten zero stockings in two consecutive rounds. Today's results would be terrible. If they were treated as a flash in the pan by the other teams, then everything they had hoped for would be for naught!
"What do we do?"
"We can't let them have it easy!"
The two girls knew that it would be difficult to get a good result in this round, so they already had the intention of completely messing up the situation.
As a result, Ye Xiu's Mechanic, Listened Promise, received a message from Lower Your Head: "Let's work together!"
"Oh?"
"Let's work together to deal with Excellent Era, 4v5." Lower Your Head said.
"And then?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Let's steal their stockings first, then we'll talk." Lower Your Head replied.
"Haha, I admire your 'then we'll talk'."
"Let's work together to deal with the biggest threat first!" Lower Your Head said.
"Okay, do you know where they are?" Ye Xiu asked.
"They just left from coordinates 124 and 45." Lower Your Head reported.
"Oh, their current target is probably our team, so we can definitely find a place to set up and wait for them." Ye Xiu said.
"You're right."
"Then, come to 186,151."
"See you in a bit." Lower Your Head replied.
Near the coordinates 186,151, when Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack arrived, they saw the Mechanic Listened Promise and the Brawler Rain arrive. They didn't try to hide themselves at all. They just brazenly looked around and waited for people to arrive. Seeing the two come over, the two characters turned around one after the other and went up to greet them.
"You're planning on setting up an ambush here?" Lower Your Head carefully examined the terrain. This was a ruin covered in snow, so it was hard to tell what it was. But if they swept away the snow, they could see quite a few charred marks, as if they had been buried in a sea of fire, but now they were covered by snow.
"Our four-man team has three Gunners. There's a lot of cover here, so it's perfect for a long-range encirclement. But we can't fight a war of attrition with Excellent Era because we don't have a healer, so we have to think of a way to scatter them and quickly defeat them one by one. The terrain here is also suitable for that. "Ye Xiu said.
"Okay …" Lower Your Head listened to Ye Xiu's words clearly and logically. She couldn't find anything wrong with them.
"Based on the starting point you revealed before, let's analyze where they're coming from. Their target is me, so they'll give us a starting point. What they know is obviously where we picked up their stockings. Using that as a starting point, our possible paths are … "
Ye Xiu began to analyze with assurance. In between, large amounts of coordinates and analysis popped up, leaving Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack at a loss.
"So I think that they'll probably come from the south and slightly east, passing through this area." Ye Xiu finally came to a conclusion after his analysis.
"Who exactly are you?" Lower Your Head and None Dare Attack were shocked.
"An expert." Ye Xiu calmly replied.
"..."
"Next, let's arrange our initial ambush positions, as well as some possible changes in our movements during battle. I know that the cooperation between the two of you is quite skillful, but remember, there are four of us now, so all cooperation must be considered from the perspective of the four of us. Perhaps you won't be able to change your habits in a short period of time, but do your best to overcome them. When necessary, I will give you a reminder, "Ye Xiu said.
"..."
A moment later, he finished explaining the strategy. It wasn't too deep, but it was clear that he was making good use of the terrain. Afterwards, everyone arranged themselves according to their initial ambush positions. Baozi's Brawler Rain came. Although he was a melee class, he wasn't at the very front, but rather in the deepest part of the area. The inseparable None Dare Attack and None Dare Attack had been scattered by Ye Xiu. None Dare Attack's ambush was further in, while the ones at the very front were Ye Xiu's Listened Promise and Lower Your Head.
They hid in their positions, quietly waiting for Excellent Era's players to arrive. Lower Your Head turned around and saw Listened Promise playing with the automatic pistol in his hands. She knew that he was doing some repetitive maneuvers out of boredom.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes …...
A lot of time passed. During this time, there were even two instances of stockings changing owners. Of course, they were all fights between normal player parties. However, Excellent Era's party still hadn't shown up.
"I say …" Lower Your Head couldn't help but speak up when she saw Listened Promise doing repetitive maneuvers without saying a word.
"What?"
"Aren't you afraid that we're actually tricking you into meeting up with us, then taking the opportunity to steal your stockings?" Lower Your Head said.
"No." Ye Xiu said.
"You trust us that much?" Lower Your Head said.
"It's not trust." Ye Xiu said, "I'm just not afraid."
Lower Your Head was startled, but immediately understood. What this guy meant was: he was confident that he could beat the two of them, so he wasn't afraid of them tricking him.
At this moment, Lower Your Head really wanted to pull out her gun and shoot this guy. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
