Chapter 1470: X
[Team A’s Side]
"I see an opening! An opening!" one of the members shouted, typing rapidly on his keyboard. "Get them—distract them! I’m going to infiltrate. Come on, guys! Keep talking! I can’t keep glancing at your screens!"
"Distract them. Buy him some time. I’m busy right now."
"I’m launching a virus," another chimed in. "I can’t do both right now! God damn it! Someone buy some time!!"
"I’ll sustain—damn it! They’re shutting me out! I need a hand here!"
Team A worked in perfect sync despite their differences during practice rounds. The cheers surrounding them faded into the background as they focused entirely on each other’s voices and the glowing screens before them.
Meanwhile, on Team D’s side, frustration was etched across their faces. The first round lasted only for several minutes. Not only had they almost handed their opponents free points, but the humiliation of being overwhelmed so quickly was hard to swallow.
Now, they were doing their best to hold off the relentless attacks on their system. So far, they were doing better than the first round.
"Hey, someone’s trying to get in!" one of them shouted. "I’m already holding someone off! Someone stop him!"
"Fuck! I’m being attacked, I can’t let go of this one just yet!"
"Calm down. Don’t let them get to you. Hold them off long enough, and they’ll get impatient. They’ll make a mistake soon. Keep your heads together until then."
The clacking of keyboards filled the air, peppered with curses and situation updates. Team A was clearly pushing hard, but Team D was finally doing a better job—holding the line and preventing their defenses from being breached.
