All grenades exploded at once when they touched the sand, sending a great deal of dust into the sky, filling the air with gray. The sand and dust reached the top of the wall and obstructed the enemy team's vision.
"Shoot shoot shoot!"
The team leader shouted and shot his guns everywhere. Flashes parted the dust away, giving a bit of vision to the team above the wall.
Naturally, due to the thick dust, they were still unable to locate Max and Atlas. Muffled with the sound of shooting, they couldn't hear footsteps approaching them to the side.
When the team realized it, they had already been downed, left with the only sniper rifle that survived the assault because he was in a prone position. Two muzzles were pointed at his head, one short and one long.
"I gi–"
Zzt!

Watching the screen, the spectators were filled with excitement.
"Ooooh!"
"They did it!"
"They managed to destroy 2 bases right on time."
Flexy read the notification and laughed loudly with his hands on his hips.
"Hahaha, we did it! We can win this game!"
So far, the plan went smoothly. The orange-haired streamer was able to see Lily return safely to the base after harassing other teams. And in the far distance, he could see his buddy and Atlas running back after getting an extra 1000 annihilation points.
In the sky, the countdown to the third wave had reached 10 seconds. It was enough time for them to return, but they would have no time to rest and get new ammo and bombs.
"We were a bit late, my bad." Max said to Flexy as he landed beside him.
Following him, Atlas and Lily also landed next to him.
"Can you handle the third wave alone for a few seconds?" He asked his orange buddy, eliciting a scoff from him.
"Hah, I have defended this place alone in the previous game until the fourth wave. Just a few mutated cockroaches will be able to touch the wall with me here."
"I'll take your word then," Max smirked and jumped down.
It became a stalemate between 4 teams, 5 if AntiMG counted his team.
"Most of them have 3 players. Maybe they haven't been harassed yet." Nagan commented as he observed the people in the distance.
"Four teams with 3 people in the wave boss... I doubt they haven't been harassed yet. Based on their tense atmosphere, they probably have been hit and now just risk getting the extra 500 points from the wave boss. Just like us, but riskier."
AntiMG commented and clicked his tongue.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
"Bad feeling?" Nagan asked his teammate and looked at him. "Why?"
"Because–"

AntiMG's words were cut off by 3 notifications. The teams surrounding the third wave boss disappeared one by one, leaving only 3 confused players there.
Those players' faces paled immediately after realizing what happened and they ran away, ignoring the wave boss. Their base's safety was at risk. They couldn't linger any longer and risk getting eliminated.
"That's why." AntiMG finished his words without explaining and Nagan nodded.
"What should we do?"
"Do you need to ask?" He stood up and slung his sniper rifle behind his shoulder, "We need to return. Can't let Kokoko and the leader die."
"Alright."

In the end, no one killed the wave boss due to the fear of getting hit by the OrangeSquash's sly attack.
Only 5 teams were left in the first match. Currently, OrangeSquash's team led the match with more than 5000 points at the end of the third wave.
"HOLY MOLY!" Paul and Jake screamed at once after seeing their godly play and strategy.
