Cross Fire Episode 28 Recap
> Cross Fire Recap
Qilin, A Ming, Chang Sha, and Houzi rushed to the hospital. They looked at Xiao Feng lying on the hospital bed, their faces filled with disbelief. Qilin looked at Xu Wei, who claimed that Xiao Feng had taken him to a game experience, and something went wrong midway. Although An Lan arrived in time, she couldn't save Xiao Feng.
The gaming company wanted to settle privately, saying they would cover Xiao Feng's future medical expenses and give an additional one million, with seven hundred thousand for the family and three hundred thousand for the team, on the condition that everyone keep it a secret. They had signed an agreement before the experience that the company would not bear any responsibility if an accident occurred, so they had no advantage.
Qilin and the others were furious and wanted to expose them for Xiao Feng, but Xu Wei was only focused on getting money. Qilin couldn't help but slap him, and the two sides almost came to blows. Xiao Feng's father and mother arrived at the house Xiao Feng rented. His mother was sobbing uncontrollably, and An Lan comforted the two of them.
Xu Wei said he had found an expert who claimed there was still a high chance of Xiao Feng waking up. He hypocritically said he treated them like his own parents. Xiao Feng's mother was still lamenting that Xiao Feng had truly made a good friend in Xu Wei, unaware that her sincerity was wasted on a dog. Eleven years later, Lu Xiaobei looked at Xiao Feng lying in bed and asked the doctor if he could still wake up.
The doctor said it was still possible, but his brainwave activity was almost negligible; it was as if his body was still there, but his consciousness had gone somewhere unknown. Xu Wei negotiated with the gaming company and finally secured one million four hundred thousand. Xiao Feng's future treatment costs would be fully covered by them, and Xiao Feng's father and mother also signed. Chang Sha, A Ming, and Houzi left sadly. Qilin left the coin with An Lan.
None of them spared Xu Wei a glance. Xu Wei hoped An Lan would stay and help him continue the Gangbeng team, but An Lan wanted to challenge something more difficult. Xiao Feng's dream was not just to win championships, but to establish an e-sports alliance for everyone to unite and support each other. An Lan wanted to give Xiao Feng a big surprise when he woke up.
Xu Wei thought darkly, An Lan would not live to see that day, because he would not wake up. Chu Ge had sprained her ankle last time, so Lu Xiaobei specially brought her his wheelchair. While they were eating together, they ran into Lu Xiaobei's passionate female fan, Ding Ding, again. She naturally sat down next to Lu Xiaobei, exuding a "green tea" vibe, which made Chu Ge's face darken.
Lu Xiaobei quickly moved over, eventually settling right next to Chu Ge, stating that she was now his girlfriend. Chu Ge very cooperatively made Ding Ding leave in a huff. Actually, Chu Ge knew that when he went to see An Lan last time, it was for something very important, but she couldn't help him. The two then talked about Ding Ding again, and Lu Xiaobei quickly deleted her WeChat.
General Manager Guo said he had good news: the Weifengtang team wanted to poach Lu Xiaobei. Their record was good, so General Manager Guo thought this was a good opportunity for Lu Xiaobei. Lu Xiaobei immediately realized that he wanted to sell him. General Manager Guo didn't just run the team; his other businesses hadn't been doing well recently, so he wanted to sell it at a good price while the Southern Monsters were gaining momentum.
But Lu Xiaobei suddenly proposed to buy the entire team, which left General Manager Guo stunned. Lu Xiaobei told this to Cheng Hao, Na Zha, Wang Kai, and Su Jiayi. They all didn't want to split up, so the best way was to become their own bosses. Lu Xiaobei negotiated for a long time; buying the team would cost at least eight hundred thousand, with a down payment of four hundred thousand.
He asked his parents for one hundred thousand, and they needed to figure out how to get the remaining three hundred thousand themselves. Cheng Hao felt that Lu Xiaobei was acting too rashly. This was business, not a game. What if the business declined in the future, wouldn't all that money be wasted? Despite this, Su Jiayi, Wang Kai, and Na Zha all took out all their money.
Cheng Hao took out the two hundred and fifty thousand startup funds his father had given him. The Southern Monsters changed their name to Continue Team. Chu Ge quickly brought documents to An Lan, who felt that he might be oversimplifying things. Many teams approached Wang Kai with very good offers, but Wang Kai wasn't tempted. Although funds were tight, they finally changed back to their previous name, Continue Team. The club suddenly lost power.
Everyone turned around to see Su Jiayi and Wang Kai about to make a getaway, saying they were going to fix the circuit box. Lu Xiaobei and the other two meaningfully told them to be careful. Early the next morning, Lu Xiaobei was woken up by noise.
Downstairs was in chaos because General Manager Guo had transferred the contract to new creditors, and their final payment hadn't been settled, so the new creditors came to collect the debt and almost emptied the club. Chu Ge decided to step up and become the leader of the Continue Team, and everyone agreed. Lu Xiaobei didn't want to accept investment and become another Southern Monster, but Chu Ge believed that the team couldn't continue without investment.
The two had some disagreements. To help Lu Xiaobei, Chu Ge submitted her resignation letter to An Lan. The reason she came here was to gain experience, and now that Lu Xiaobei needed her, she felt it was her duty. Chu Ge went to find General Manager Guo and told him that the creditors had taken Lu Xiaobei's computers. However, General Manager Guo stated that he had already transferred the contract and no longer wanted any involvement with this circle.
Chu Ge, disheartened, conveyed Lu Xiaobei's message: when all other teams rejected them, it was General Manager Guo who took them in, and a thank you was due. General Manager Guo was touched and decided to help them get their computers back, but the final payment had to be made to the other party as soon as possible. Chu Ge arranged a meeting with General Manager Huo from an investment company and asked Lu Xiaobei to come along.
Lu Xiaobei refused, citing a match the next day. Chu Ge had no choice but to go see General Manager Huo by herself. The front desk, however, said that General Manager Huo would not see her if Lu Xiaobei didn't come. Chu Ge stubbornly pushed her way in to apologize, only to find that General Manager Huo was Qilin. Qilin personally went to the club to meet Lu Xiaobei.
Lu Xiaobei didn't go easy on him while playing the game, which made Qilin even more interested in him. Lu Xiaobei said that for a man to achieve something, he must have a bit of unrealistic confidence. This statement gave Qilin a sense of familiarity. Could he know Xiao Feng? Lu Xiaobei calmly stated that he not only knew Xiao Feng but also Qilin, even knowing that he worked as a net cafe manager and stole Chang Sha's girlfriend.
Lu Xiaobei said that Xiao Feng had told him this personally. Qilin didn't believe it; these were things from over ten years ago. How did they even know each other? Lu Xiaobei slowly recounted the time-traveling events. Xiao Feng had told him many things: how they broke into the internet addiction center, seven people staying in one hotel, and having endless instant noodles. Qilin still didn't believe him.
Lu Xiaobei continued, stating that he was the one who told An Lan to stop that game eleven years ago. Qilin's eyes widened instantly. No wonder back then, before they went to Shenzhen, Xiao Feng had desperately clung to that broken host, claiming it could travel through time. Qilin couldn't quite process it; it was too incredible. Lu Xiaobei had always been thinking about saving Xiao Feng.
Perhaps Xiao Feng's consciousness was within the game, so if they could find the equipment from back then, it might be possible to retrieve Xiao Feng's consciousness. Qilin signed an investment contract with Continue Team, specifically instructing that they must have all the equipment that Gravity had! After some renovation, the Continue Team was completely revitalized. Lu Xiaobei gave Chu Ge a wristband just like theirs, indicating that once she put it on, she would be one of them. Hospital.
Xiao Feng, on the hospital bed, had experienced nine thousand two hundred and eighty-six games over eleven years, all of them failures without exception. Game data reset, Xiao Feng could only get up and start the challenge anew.
