The other hand's hand was closed at the touch, making it difficult for Jack to figure out if he was defending himself or if he was not used to such friendly movements.

"That's a terrible suck." Jack ignores why he was separated from his companions in such a place, and the identity of the so-called traveler, "You saved us, if there is anything that can help......"

"I'm not familiar with this area, maybe you can tell me about it."

Jack didn't expect that the other party's request was actually this, and in a moment of stunned, he was already grabbed by Cullen, "What was this place called the West Coast before, anyway, we can't tell according to the geographical structure before the war, we only know that this is a wasteland where no one comes." Cullen walked to the empty window and looked at it for a moment, then pointed to a convenient way, "About 1 kilometer straight from here is our settlement, and there are no other people in this vicinity for more than 100 kilometers except our settlement. ”

"Wanderer?"

"Oh, we've been in the colony for a long time, and we don't know what other people call them, but in short, they don't do anything, they only make a living by killing people and stealing things, and I heard that they eat human flesh when they don't have enough food."

As Culomb said this, a heavy look of disgust appeared on his face.

Qiu Yu also stopped delving into the topic of nomads, "You said that this is a wasteland where no one has come, why did you establish a settlement here?" And I don't think it's like a wasteland. ”

Turning to the subject, Coulomb turned his attention to Jack, a subject on which Jack, who was somewhat educated, could speak more clearly than he did.

Qiu Yu's ignorance made Jack bring back the possibility that he had just ruled out that he came from a high-level shelter, "It is said that this is a wasteland because it has been affected by the Great War, and the concentration of nuclear radiation has always been relatively high, and basically no plants can grow. Further south, people are already growing edible food. But it is precisely because of the food that can be grown on the land of the south that the competition for survival there is quite fierce. In addition to this, we have a few scientists in the settlement who came out of the ordinary shelter, and they found out from the map before the Great War that there is a scientific research base here, and according to them, if the previous science and technology can be unearthed here, it is possible to restore the earth to its former state......

The more Qiu Yu listened, the more frightened he became, although when he entered this game, he could already guess something, but now when he got the exact same content from other people's mouths as he guessed, he felt as if his head was immersed in ice water at zero degrees.

Qiu Yu just entered this game more than ten minutes ago, because when two games entered in a row, everyone stayed together, so Qiu Yu, under the influence of inertial thinking, also thought that they would be together this time.

But when the scene in front of him changed, only himself was left in this room. That feeling of loneliness and helplessness almost broke down when I thought I had become strong.

However, with the comprehensiveness of Qiu Yu's thinking, it is completely impossible to say that he did not expect this situation at all.

After taking the advice of the Overseer and having each person redeem a large bag of food, water, medical supplies, wilderness survival supplies, computers, and a few weapons from pre-2020, they exchanged for a silver assault rifle identical to Odonio. In Qiu Yu's judgment, the weapon selected by weapons experts like Odonio must be the most cost-effective. In case of being left alone, this weapon should be the first choice for self-rescue. Now that the situation of the order has been taken into account, Qiu Yu simply asked everyone to exchange for a 2044 version of a watch-type communicator worth two survival points, which has an effective distance of 120 kilometers and can work continuously for nearly 1 year. There are other better communicators as well, but this is Qiu Yu's consideration of various situations, even if it seems to him that 120 kilometers is enough. Anyway, if the rules of the game are determined to separate everyone, even if there is a communicator that can be reached all over the world, there will always be various problems that cannot work properly.

But after entering the game and finding that he was really alone, Qiu Yu still called anxiously, but he didn't get the slightest response for a long time.

Luckily, fate favored him, and two strange-looking men ran downstairs into the room they were in. This allowed Qiu Yu, who had some confidence in his heart, to analyze the current situation a little calmly.

In the last game, Qiu Yu had already noticed something. The old-fashioned hotel, the hall with two strange combinations of futuristic and retro, and the strange behavior of the person who was pulled by himself for questioning.

Now, with the addition of this large area of abandoned buildings with the main body intact, it is already certain that this is the earth, but it is not the earth that I am familiar with...... At least temporal unfamiliarity.

Originally, there has always been a little doubt that after defending against an offensive civilization, you can get a chance to counterattack - in the face of an offensive civilization with all its names, the defensive civilization is just a few game participants and a planet of headless passers-by, why should they attack. The answer to this can be figured out now.

On the whole, the two civilizations playing the game are of equal strength, so in the face of the quantitative advantage of the offensive civilization in all aspects, the defensive civilization takes the quality route.

After successfully defending against the attacks of an offensive civilization, a defensive civilization will gain a qualitative advantage. Just like after the earth successfully defended against the attack of the lizardmen, it immediately improved its technology for 30 years, and if it was to counterattack at this time, then the two civilizations that were judged to be of equal strength just now would have an overwhelming technological advantage in an instant because of the 30-point civilization increase on the earth's side. After all, just by looking at the history of the earth, you will understand that the difference of 30 years is already a terrifying distance.

But from this point of view alone, it seems that a single victory for a defensive civilization would be a disaster enough to end an offensive civilization, which is unfair to the 50% chance of victory, so there is a balancing act against this......

When Qiu Yu still lacked decisive evidence to deduce himself, with a sore sound, the evidence he needed poured out from all directions, it was a huge mouse whose size made Qiu Yu have a sense of distance.

Whether it was out of the need to gather information or personal emotions, Qiu Yu decided to save the following two.

The first time he killed another creature with a gun, Qiu Yu's long-lost stomach churning sensation reappeared, and in order to prevent the rescued person from seeing his fragile appearance, he quickly walked away after dropping the rope. And the fact that he kept shaking the gun in front of the two of them was not that he wanted to pretend to be some profound mystery, but because he didn't expect that the recoil of this weapon that was used quite easily by Odonio would be so strong, and the attack that had been lowered the rate of fire made him feel like his hand was about to be dislocated in just a few seconds. If it was himself before the exchange of reinforcements, maybe his arm would be broken directly after a few shots.

This made Qiu Yu realize that he was too fragile, but compared to the fragile body that he had prepared for a long time, some things confirmed by Jack made Qiu Yu feel a little more difficult to accept.

When Jack's introduction was over, Qiu Yu used all his strength to barely speak, "What year is it?" What kind of big war do you mean? ”

For Qiu Yu's question, Jack was already surprised, but Qiu Yu's suddenly pale face made him feel a little uneasy, "Using the standard of counting before the war, it's 2082, as for the big war...... It was caused by the attack of aliens who suddenly appeared on the earth, and the human beings saw that they could not win the battle, so they detonated the nuclear bomb on the earth at the same time. But even that didn't kill all the aliens...... The explosion of the nuclear bomb and the killing of humans by aliens for seven days in a row, more than 95 percent of the human population died. Fortunately, on the eighth day they suddenly stopped attacking the humans, and on the eleventh day, as they had come, they suddenly disappeared from the earth......"

"That's not right......"

Qiu Yu's murmur made Jack think that he was saying that he was not right, so he raised his right hand as if he swore an oath, "I'm definitely talking about the most original memory that has been passed down from generation to generation." If it is said that mankind has forgotten science and morality, there is absolutely no forgetting and nothing wrong with the reasons for all this situation. ”

"Is that so......"

Qiu Yu recalled the regulator's original explanation of the rules of the game, and the regulator did say that the game space is a copy of the real space, and also said that how many times people die in the real space will not affect the people in the real space...... It's true that in-game deaths don't affect the real world, which has been confirmed, but the problem is that they don't need to die as many times as they want, and just once will have an irreversible effect on the game space.

Obviously, he has considered a lot of possibilities to enter, but the sentence of the superintendent, "No matter how many times they die in the dungeon space, they will be fine in reality, and in the next war, they will still be copied into a game character." The words are misleading. But there is no need for regulators to deceive themselves on this point, unless there is something they don't know about it. Or, the regulator is not lying, but it is saying that the best case is included in the description, but to get the best case, there must be a corresponding price.

In conclusion, the balance of the game between defensive and offensive civilizations is now thoroughly understood......
