Chapter 96: Lost
The main city of Yunzhou, the fourth acropolis.
With the fall of the Third and Fourth Acropolises, the western side of the main city has been opened, and a large number of alien creatures are storming the outer walls of the main city.
The Rains of Evolution have ended, and the fury of the alien creatures has been lifted, and they have returned to their own state, causing the pressure on the players stationed here to plummet. But before they could catch their breath, these terrifying creatures were reorganized and organized again.
They formed a queue and had certain tactics, and soon captured the Third Acropolis and completely tore apart the defense line of the Yunzhou base.
In the previous battle in Evolutionary Rain, which lasted twenty-four hours (real-time time), almost 90% of the players participated in the battle, and with the large number of players, they held most of the base but lost the fourth acropolis.
However, in such a long-term and high-intensity battle, the player attrition is very serious, and basically 80% of the players have quit the battle.
Yunzhou was built brick by brick by each of them. The previous wars of justice and Jin Ning's expertise have given these players a strong sense of belonging. No one wanted to stand idly by to see the base suffer such a catastrophe, but too many deaths only made them withdraw from the battle.
The reduction in the number of participants has put the player's side at a disadvantage, and at the same time, the ammo in the base shop is getting less and less, and it will soon be bottomed out. The intensity of the current war has exceeded the limits of Jin Ning's ammunition reserves for many years and the current supply depot. So under the influence of these factors, the player lost the third acropolis, and the situation in the main city is not optimistic.
However, although they are no longer able to participate in the battle, most of them are still following the ongoing battle in Yunzhou through various live broadcasts on the official forum.
As a major main plot of "The End of the World", there are various live broadcasts in almost every region to explain the battle situation, but with the end of the rain of evolution, the major live broadcast rooms are negative. On the contrary, the number of viewers of Yunzhou's live broadcast is soaring, because there are still large-scale wars going on here, unlike other places, there are only some small-scale battles left, except for some big anchors, other live broadcasts are overshadowed compared to this part of Yunzhou.
The most popular live broadcast in Yunzhou is a large anchor who is broadcasting the battle in the direction of the main city in the west. The screen is full of fire and stumps, and hundreds of thousands of players are fighting here, which can best mobilize the hormones of the audience. The other one is our Geng Gegeon, who is currently very monotonous. It was a squad of more than a dozen people, and they were walking through the ruins. Surrounded by a large number of alien creatures, and the ground that was shaking all the time.
……
"Howe, do you feel anything?"
In the ruins of the Fourth Acropolis, the dozen or so men hid their breaths, covered in blood and hung with pieces of carrion. They were very resistant to this, but for various reasons, they could only make such a terrible sacrifice.
They are none other than Geng Gegeon and his party. They are now the high-end combat force of Yunzhou and have shouldered their own tasks.
They were almost at the center of the Fourth Acropolis, and the level of the alien creatures around them was getting higher and higher, and a terrifying coercion was getting closer and closer to them. Everyone was nervous. Although the live broadcast was on, no one still had the energy to comment, so there were a lot of text commentators on the barrage.
Now Yunzhou is in the dark night, and under such conditions, the [Shadow Hunter] Hao Pigeon has various attribute bonuses, and his perception ability is the strongest among the people now. So Xiong Dasha asked him a question.
The pigeon lowered his voice and gave an affirmative answer in the communication channel:
"Yes, if Sister Luo's reasoning is correct, our goal is ahead."
Hearing the answer of the pigeon, everyone nodded, and at the same time they all quickened their pace.
As for this reasoning, it will go back to two hours ago.
"Ding! [Third Acropolis] has been lost, and mission completion has decreased by 10%. ”
A system prompt suddenly sounded, and there was a sudden silence on the battlefield, and then a lot of scolding sounded.
"Holy! Which guild is guarding the Third Acropolis?! ”
"It's [the flames of war]! No way! Aren't they the so-called First Guild? ”
"Isn't it?! The artillery is all given to you, and you can't hold it? ”
……
On the walls of the main city, everyone complained loudly.
More than ten minutes later, a white light suddenly flashed next to them, and one by one the players appeared.
"! It's so aggrieved! ”
"Those things are fine!"
……
They are all the remaining players who are guarding the Third Acropolis, and after resurrection, they return to the preset respawn point.
Seeing their appearance, a tsunami of doubts came to them, and they were all stupid for a while.
It was a long time before their leader, [Frostbloom], reappeared here.
He's now C-ranked, and he's also awakened with a special ability that allows him to control substances like water to deal magical damage, which lives up to his name. But that doesn't change the fact that he's defeated.
Seeing his appearance, the players instantly pointed the cannon at him and sprayed it. Because the reduction of task completion is for the whole server of Yunzhou, it is equivalent to everyone losing a part of the task reward.
Shuanghua didn't say anything, but turned on the public channel, sent the battle report, and took the rest of the guild members to the new battlefield.
Although the Third Acropolis is not one of their guilds to guard, as the strongest guild in Yunzhou, they naturally have to bear these responsibilities. So while waiting for the resurrection, Frost Hua prepared this report, or a pretext, but it was also true.
"This dog, you don't even explain?"
Seeing his arrogant attitude, one player angrily questioned.
The player who was spraying [War Fire] with him a second ago suddenly fell silent, and then grew his mouth. Seeing his companion's reaction, he patted the player.
The player swallowed and said, "You go to the public channel and watch the battle report of Frost Huafa!" ”
He spat disdainfully and said, "You haven't seen the world before." ”
Then, he also opened the battle report. And the same expression soon appeared on his face.
……
"Shhh...... Frostbloom, are these real? ”
In the main city military district, a conference room is filled with players.
This time, the main story is free for players, but these guilds still play a leading role. In order to get more rewards, players have all banded together and accepted their assignments. This is also the reason why the war in Yunzhou is more ornamental.
Higher cohesion gives them greater combat effectiveness. In comparison, Yunzhou's difficulty is definitely among the top three in the world, but the survivor bases in the other two have been wiped out. Only the players are left fighting guerrillas, and only Yunzhou is still holding on to the end of the mission.
And the people in this conference room were all the presidents and thinkers of the major guilds, and after seeing the first-hand information sent by Shuanghua, cold sweat oozed from their heads.
"Yes! We just thought they were in a berserk state, but now it seems that they have tactics that they didn't have before. ”
Frost Hua nodded heavily and said solemnly.
In this battle report, which is composed of video and text, the following scene is described:
First, a large number of alien creatures that can attack from a distance appeared, accurately eliminating the heavy fire points of an area and suppressing the players. Then, a large group of highly agile guys quickly burst into the position, killing and injuring the players. This is followed by a large number of high-defense meat shields, which put a lot of pressure on the frontal battlefield, making it impossible for players to look at each other. Finally, there are large groups of ordinary zombies, which completely tear apart the players' defenses.
Because there was no such experience before, everyone did not prepare a corresponding plan, and the players were quickly blinded and soon lost the acropolis.
The conference room soon fell silent, marking another level of difficulty in the task. Although this is a meeting of players, as the current head of the base, Luo Shanshan is also present.
She also looked solemn, and after thinking for a while, she was the first to break the silence:
"Is it possible that there is a high-level mutant guiding these guys?"
Hearing Luo Shanshan's words, everyone nodded and said:
"Chances are, like that, but what should we do?"
Luo Shanshan tapped on the table, and a special map was projected onto a screen hanging in front of the conference room.
"This is a real-time coercion monitoring map, a new technology, it may not be very accurate, but you look at the Fourth Acropolis here."
She stood up and made her way to the curtain.
At this time, she was wearing a military uniform, and her beautiful face exuded a solemn atmosphere.
"If there is something manipulating these alien creatures, it must be a high-level creature. Otherwise, for these low-level creatures, they can't accept the leadership of a guy who is weaker than themselves. ”
"Makes sense."
Hearing Luo Shanshan's simple analysis, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Before, in Area 36, I found a special zombie close to A-class, right?"
After receiving the approval, Luo Shanshan continued to ask.
One of the presidents nodded, called up the information, and said:
"Yes! Its combat power is very weak, but its physical strength is definitely A-level. ”
Listening to Luo Shanshan's questions, a trace of joy appeared in everyone's hearts:
No wonder there is an NPC here, the task will be so difficult, it turns out that Luo Shanshan is here to help them plot characters!
Luo Shanshan kept asking, and at the same time wrote on the paper. Finally, she closed the cap.
"By the way, it should be this position in the Fourth Acropolis, there is an A-class leader zombie who is controlling all this."
After hearing this conclusion, everyone is still very serious.
Although they know what the problem is, the other party is A-level, which is completely beyond their ability.
The room fell silent again.
Suddenly, a bell rang, coming from the communicator on Luo Shanshan's body.
With a straight face, she took out the communicator in her breast pocket, and after taking a look, an unconcealable joy appeared on her face. She strode out of the conference room, leaving the crowd with puzzled expressions.
"Could it be that the plot is going to advance again?!"
Finally, I'm finally waiting for the plot to kill!
After a few minutes, Luo Shanshan smiled, strode in, and uttered a simple word.
This sentence was like a drop of oil that went into a hot pan and ignited it all, making the conference room boil.
