The blazing afternoon sun shone high overhead as the participants gathered for the much-anticipated laser tag match.

It was 1 PM, and the energy was electric.

The setup was simple: ten platoons, fifty participants total, divided into five-member teams. The sprawling arena was filled with obstacles, walls, and vantage points.

The objective was straightforward—tag as many opponents as possible while avoiding being tagged yourself.

Jiang Yue was already familiar with her team members. 

There was Li Feng, a lean young man with sharp eyes who seemed eager to strategize; Zhao Lin, a cheerful girl with quick reflexes; Wu Chen, a burly individual with a booming laugh but surprising agility; and Sun Mei, a quiet yet observant girl who had a knack for spotting ambushes.

Each team would compete against all others in a free-for-all format, with the last team standing declared the winner.
