Bai Ye zipped down to the Central Control Bridge, jet boosting the moment he landed to dodge the sniper fire from the rooftop.
As soon as the passive acceleration cooldown ended, he tossed another C4, rushing through the rolling door straight towards the President's Office.
Speed was of the essence in battle.

Luck was on his side this time; after looting the Central Control safe, he found no activity in the Black Market Corridor, and the President's Three Guardians were still at the entrance.
Bai Ye didn't bother with the outside safe first; he swiftly stabbed Shield Bro in the face, then jet boosted to the President's door.
Open, close, all in one go, leaving the Machine Gunner and Flamethrower Trooper outside to stand guard.
Following his usual routine, he headed to the Scratch Card Room, where he found an Aerospace card on the coffee table.
"One for the Blue Room Glass Room, a million in the bag!~"
The Blue Room Glass Room card was intriguing; though rarely used, its glass structure allowed one to see at a glance whether Big Red had been swiped.
Regular Aerospace players usually had one, and its price remained very stable.
Pocketing the keycard, Bai Ye returned to the living room, only to be captivated by an inconspicuous yet stunning figure on the coffee table before he reached the desk.
"Damn, the Heart of Africa?!"
Instinctively jet boosting over, his character on the screen began examining the crystal-clear, brilliantly shining heart-shaped diamond.
Bai Ye couldn't believe his luck; on his first match with this account, he stumbled upon an open-air Heart of Africa.
"Damn Bai Xing, why is it never on my own account!"
After completing club tasks, Bai Ye rarely played on his computer, preferring to read novels or browse TikTok in the dormitory, or hit the gym.
After all, the training room was a public space, and even if the coach turned a blind eye, other members or the team manager might cause trouble.
Even though he didn't play much on his own account, he had logged hundreds of hours since the public beta.
Perhaps due to his high KD and profit-loss ratio, Bai Ye's account had never found a Heart of Africa, and even Big Reds were scarce.
He had to buy upgrades from the Exchange Market.
What annoyed him most was seeing a middle school classmate's post on Moments.
Classified KD 0.1, with over a dozen unbound Hearts of Africa in their inventory...
Since RNG started the Delta Force club, Bai Ye had found several during zero-to-hero runs over the past six months, but never on his own account!
Don't ask why; just blame the low drop rate!
Looking at the Heart of Africa in the safe, Bai Ye muttered with mixed feelings:
"Finally hit a compensation round..."
Though it wasn't his account, with this heart, he was more than halfway to his 20 million goal for the day, allowing him to finish early.
Clearing his thoughts, Bai Ye quickly searched the President's Office, finding a few small golds.
Normally, after finding a heart, he would stash the bullets in the safe and self-destruct to start the next round early.
But with a smoothbore gun and several small golds in his bag, plus the heart, keycard, and watch he just found, his haul was already over 15 million.
And the drop rate this round was indeed high; if he could find more on the way to the switch, or kill a team and loot their bags, he could complete the 20 million order this round.
Bai Ye checked the map; currently, no one had pulled the switches in the Blue Room or Centrifuge Chamber.
The strategy for the Aerospace Base map was very formulaic; sometimes strategy was more important than gunplay.
With an awareness score of 95, Bai Ye, though constantly looting, hadn't missed any information on the field.
The Aerospace Base had eight spawn points, with a maximum of eighteen players per match, usually forming six teams. If there was a Solo Trio, seven teams might spawn, and full capacity wasn't impossible.
The Dormitory and Second Staff were guaranteed spawn points.
The three spawn points in the Cell Block, along with Central Control, West University, and the Launch Area, were guaranteed to spawn at least two teams.
If there were more than six teams on the field, they would fill these two areas.
When Bai Ye was looting the President's Office, he heard gunfire in the Black Market, including M7, M14, AWM, and Vector sounds.
The Vector gunfire was especially dense, indicating at least two or three Vectors.
Hearing four or five guns, he confirmed two full teams were fighting in the Black Market.
The situation was clear: excluding himself and the two solo Haji Bees, one team remained after the Black Market and Dormitory fights.
Six teams were confirmed; the last full team was likely in Cell Block 3, as Bai Ye hadn't heard any activity in the Centrifuge.
The Black Market gunfire had ended over a minute ago; they should be ready by now, possibly sneaking into the Black Market Corridor.
The entire map was silent, and silence was the most feared in Aerospace.
So after leaving the President's Office, Bai Ye retraced his steps, planning to use Buoyancy to reach the Centrifuge switch, grabbing more loot along the way.
Besides the President's Office, the Centrifuge Chamber was the richest core area on the Aerospace map.
It had open-air spots for Hearts of Africa, keycards, rocket fuel, satellite dishes, various Big Reds, and both a large and small safe.
With luck, a single Centrifuge Chamber could yield several million.
Bai Ye reached the Buoyancy Corridor, confirmed no one was below, and jumped down from the ladder gap, heading to the second-floor link to the Centrifuge's second-floor main entrance.
The moment he opened the door, Bai Ye immediately jet boosted to the right, narrowly avoiding a barrage of gunfire.
"Damn, someone's camping the switch in the Centrifuge?!"
From the start, not a single shot had been fired in the Centrifuge, not even by the Machine Gunners, so Bai Ye hadn't expected a team to be camping the switch!
He had analyzed that the Launch Area likely hadn't spawned anyone, or they had rushed to the Black Market; the last team should be in Cell Block 3 on TikTok.
Now it seemed they had landed in the Launch Area, knifed the President's Three Guardians, and started camping the switch.
With more Delta Force players, more experts emerged.
Unless you had a wallhack, no amount of strategy could help.
Camping the switch from the start, for an entire match—wasn't that terrifying?
"An SR-25, an M700, and an ASh-12..."
Bai Ye quickly closed the door to prevent them from throwing items, recalling his brief glimpse.
Behind the bulletproof glass on the left Centrifuge stairs was a Bitra, a Luna in the small room facing the door, and an Uluru behind the corridor box on the right.
"Two snipers, one rifle..."
Bai Ye held a quick-stop hip-fire AK, great for holding positions but not ideal for breakthroughs or point clearing.
But he had to fight this team; otherwise, he couldn't pull the switch, and waiting for the Ascension mission was too time-consuming.
Delta Force's TTK (Time to Kill) was very short; the best solution for a solo player against a full team was to split the battle into three one-on-ones.
Even a full-durability Level-6 Set couldn't withstand three simultaneous gunlines, let alone Bai Ye's Level 4 armor with only a few dozen durability.
"Bitra and Uluru both have headset helmets, Luna has a skin but probably not great gear; if they're just three scrubs, it's not a big problem."
Bai Ye waited outside for the jet boost cooldown; the Centrifuge was silent again, indicating they were committed to camping.
Testing the door on the right, another burst of bullets flew by, followed by Luna's Shock Arrow and Uluru's incendiary grenade.
After two test openings, the opponents grew smarter, slowing their shooting and item-throwing frequency.
With the jet boost cooldown long over, Bai Ye stood outside, out of sight, tossing a C4 near the left staircase to force Bitra's position.
Hearing Bitra retreat, he low-bounced a Tiger Crouch Launcher into the second-floor staircase, sliding it to Bitra's feet.
"Target destabilized!"
Weilong's exhilarating voice rang out, and Bai Ye jet boosted to the left staircase, canceling the recoil in mid-air, pre-aiming the right side of the room for a headshot.
Luna reacted quickly, drawing a G18 and pulling left to aim as Weilong jet boosted in after Bitra was blasted.
But as soon as she peeked out, the AKM's silenced, muffled shots rang out.
[Zhouyou Shijie Feng Daidai knocked down Fasheqiao Zhencha Pang!]
Instant kill!
The AKM's performance barrel not only made hip-firing comfortable but also increased headshot multipliers, with headshot damage reaching 105 points.
Using Level 5 bullets, any helmet below full-durability Level 4 was a one-shot headshot, akin to sniper damage.
Truly the harshest father to headset helmets!
After taking down Luna, Bai Ye quickly turned to the stairs, aiming at Bitra, who was struggling to rise.
Bang!
[Zhouyou Shijie Feng Daidai knocked down Wo Wan Bitra Lihai!]
Bitra's pre-placed spider trap triggered, and Uluru, who had been covering the right corridor near the Large Safe, approached with increasing footsteps.
Weilong's kill reduced the jet boost cooldown by 90%.
Bai Ye timed it right, tossing a blocking C4 on the right corridor's path, then jet boosted out of the Centrifuge to avoid the spider damage, closing the door behind him.
"Staircase! He's alone!!"
"Just one shot away! My spider trap triggered, one shot and he's dead, hurry up!"
Urged by his teammates, the last-standing Uluru, armed with an SR-25, pre-aimed the staircase and jumped out.
Firing two or three shots, but only seeing Weilong's jet trail, with a red envelope icon appearing in the center of his view.
Uluru instinctively pulled back, trying to avoid the C4's damage, but after two steps back to cover, the red envelope remained at the top of the screen.
"Damn! He stuck the C4 to my head!!!"
Outside the Centrifuge door, Weilong's righteous yet slightly mocking voice echoed:
"I rarely fight such easy battles."
Boom!
[Zhouyou Shijie Feng Daidai killed Wo De Fumu Meile!]
[Team Wiped!]
