[ Task: Shelling the target area! ]

[ Requirement: Launch 10 rockets to the target area on the map. ]

[ Reward: Each rocket that lands within the area can provide 5 war points, and within the precise landing range can provide 10 war points. ]

"Fair!"

In the pitch-black ruins, an excited cry sounded.

Following Mosquito's order, The Ratman standing next to the rocket launcher immediately lit the fuze with a match, and then ran away.

Accompanied by the whistling sound, one after another rockets with tail flames vacated from the guide rail of the launcher, drew a beautiful parabola in the night sky, and slammed into the predator's position fiercely.

The face was illuminated by the rocket's tail flame, and the mosquito's face printed an expression of excitement.

"Hahaha! F*ck! This is so cool!"

[ Stronger Than Others ]'s face is full of admiration.

"Awesome! Boss, did you make this Katyusha?"

I heard about the power of goblin technology on the forum, and now I finally saw it. This is too hardcore!

"What Katyusha, I call it Tempest 1.0!"

The production of the jab rocket failed. The speed of the rocket could not be improved, and the penetration and power were not enough. Mosquito simply gave up the original design plan and changed the caliber from the original 20mm small water pipe to 90mm. The weight has been directly increased from 20g to 6kg, and the old business has been resumed.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that the new design not only passed the review, but also got the support of the research and development funds of the shelter base, and was also purchased 20 pieces at one time!

The cost of each rocket is 120 silver coins, the purchase price is 140 silver coins, and the profit is as high as 20 silver coins! This order alone earned him 400 silver coins!

Knew it. Bigness is power!

The 6kg TNT is not a joke, it is much more powerful than the warhead he made with black powder before!

And the most important thing is that these rockets have been bought by the outpost, not with his own money.

Looking at [ Stronger Than Others ] who was still standing there stupidly waiting for the explosion, Mosquito immediately urged.

"Quickly reload! When the Eastern Front starts to attack, we have another round of shelling missions!"

[ Stronger Than Others ] Immediately came back to his senses, nodded excitedly.

"Okay, Boss!"

...

"Fire!"

South of the experimental base.

In a silent forest, gunshots erupted instantly, and the flames resounded throughout.

At the moment of receiving the order to attack, Group A, which was in charge of feinting to attack the southern position, immediately launched an attack, and the bullets rushed towards the predator's position on the slope densely.

The players in the feint group are mostly equipped with bolt-action iron-pipe rifles and Ripper rifles.

They each received 40 rounds before the battle began.

And their task is only one -

That is, make every effort to contain the main force of the predators on the south side of the experimental base, and buy time for the sixteen teams ambushing on the east side!

The predator's machine guns fired condescendingly into the woods, and the bullets whizzed over the players' heads.

Players scattered in the forest are struggling.

But at this moment, there was a whistling roar from above the head, and one after another rockets passed through the forest and hit the high ground in front of them fiercely!

Flames flickered, and explosions resounded throughout.

The predators were obviously stunned by the saturation blow, and the firepower deployed on the high ground was instantly reduced.

Seeing the explosion so close, the players lying in the woods were shocked.

"Damn it, Mosquito is awesome!"

"666, damn it... I thought the rocket would fall on top of my head!"

"A few of them seem to fly a little far away..."

"It doesn't matter! One hit is enough!"

Explosions continued in the experimental base.

The explosives tied to the hyena were detonated by hot shrapnel, and the predator holding the rope was killed on the spot, and there were many casualties around.

The man with the tattoo on his face looked out the window.

Looking at the chaotic battlefield, the face illuminated by the fire showed a trace of surprise and disbelief.

Although he expected that the group of people he met in the morning might run back to rescue soldiers, he never expected that they would come so quickly and launch an attack that night.

And it was so vicious when he shot it!

The voice of the predator who followed behind him trembled slightly.

"Could it be someone from Boulder City?!"

Ka pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"It's not like... You listen to their gunshots."

The man who calmed down came back to his senses.

"The Ripper Rifle?"

Ka nodded, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"It should be a survivor from the northern suburbs of Spring City."

Without hesitation, he ordered immediately.

"Pass my order, everyone will do their best to defend the position!"

"The reinforcements will arrive before dawn, as long as we survive tonight, victory will belong to us!"

... The southern line.

Five mutated brown bears locked in iron cages were led to the edge of the battlefield.

Hearing the gunshots around, the mutated brown bear let out an angry roar, struggling desperately, and the steel bar thick as a thumb creaked unbearably.

The predators pulled the latch that locked the cage, pushed the cage down the slope with all their might, and quickly fled back behind the cover.

The mutated brown bear broke free from the cage, and rushed towards the players' lines driven by Molotov cocktails and machine gun fire.

Seeing the brown bear rushing towards him, Edge Paddle was startled instantly.

"F*ck! These predators don't talk about common sense!"

"The Molotov cocktail is blocking the road! Don't let it rush over!"

Edge Paddle shouted, and at the same time threw out the Molotov cocktail in his hand.

The Molotov cocktail hit the pine tree, and the ignited kerosene scattered in all directions.

The nearby players obviously wanted to go with him, threw out the Molotov cocktails in their hands, and quickly pulled out a barrier formed by flames on the slope.

The mutated brown bears didn't dare to run downhill again, fearing that their fur would be set on fire, so the five brown bears could only flee to the side, and two of them were killed by bullets whizzing around on the battlefield on the way.

However, everything has pros and cons.

Although the flames prevented the mutated brown bears from rushing toward the players' positions, they also exposed their positions to the flames.

The two small players whose positions were exposed were quickly caught fire by the predators on the slope, and were sieved by the bullets that came from them.

Casualties on both sides continued to rise.

The battle on the southern front has reached a stalemate!

In the temporary command post, Vanus, staring at the VM screen, spoke thoughtfully.

"This plan is very risky... If the southern front collapses and your opponent chases down from the high ground, even if your people gain an advantage on the eastern front, your opponent can easily pass through from the south side of the high ground to your east. The flanks of the line positions, forming a pincer attack with the troops on the slope."

Vanus didn't say the last half of the sentence, he believed that Lucius must know the consequences.

If he was in command, he definitely wouldn't take such a risk. Instead, he would divide the troops into four groups and launch attacks from four directions at the same time.

In this way, even if one front is defeated, as long as the other three lines gain an advantage, he can also win the battle.

Of course, this is based on the absolute superiority of troops or equipment.

If there is no obvious advantage, he will definitely not let his men fight a battle that is impossible to win.

Unless his superiors ask him to.

"Your hypothesis cannot happen."

Hearing this confident voice, Vanus raised his eyebrows.

"Why?"

Lucius said without hesitation.

"Unless they take out three times as many troops as me, and wipe out all the forty infantry in the four squads I deployed on the Eastern Front on the hillside."

"It's not necessary to wipe out all of them, but more than half of the casualties—"

"Let's make a bet."

Hearing this sentence, Vanus hesitated slightly.

"What bet?"

"10,000 dinars," Lucius said with a faint smile, "People who bet on me will fight to the last moment, even if there is only one person left, they will never retreat."

He believes in his players.

Having experienced the baptism of several wars, they are already experienced veterans, and some have even died on the battlefield once.

What they have is not just the courage to fear death.

If this battle goes well, all teams have successfully completed their missions. Lucius plans to launch a trade union system and a mercenary system in the next version, allowing some players with strong organizational skills to serve as team commanders themselves, and to cooperate with familiar teammates. Cooperate and dominate the local battles in the campaign.

Among a hundred players, there will always be a dozen or twenty high players with outstanding abilities.

Letting them play to their strengths is more valuable than keeping them in the trenches.

At that time, Lucius will consider focusing his work more on training junior officers and his personal guards.

The SS will consist mainly of indigenous peoples.

After all, this is a very boring job, and players are unlikely to be interested in this job.

Lucius's firm tone made Vanus undecided, but naturally he would not refuse such a gift of money.

Fear of death is the nature of life, even the clone infantry of the legion will fear death because of their survival instinct.

There are only 40 people, facing the condescending firepower, if they can persist until the reduction of 30% of the staff, they can be called elites.

He didn't believe that a group of pampered shelter residents could have this awareness.

Shrugging, Vanus said.

"Then bet."

What's more, even if he loses, it doesn't really matter.

Anyway, his 2 million ransom cannot be paid in a short time...

...

[ Mission: The whole army raids! ]

[ Explanation: The comrades on the southern front bought us precious time, and the firepower of the predators has been pinned down to the south! It's time to give them a heavy blow. When the whistle sounds, the whole army will attack! ]

Eastern position.

It was still a calm, until the harsh whistle sounded from the forest.

In the forest that was still silent a few seconds ago, the boiling killing intent and the roar of charging surged towards the high ground like an overwhelming force.

The predators standing behind the bunkers all had a trace of panic printed on their faces.

They couldn't count for a while, how many people were there at the foot of the mountain!

"Kill!"

"Yeee!"

"Brothers, go!"

"Demacia!"

"Grab points! Grab points!"

"Go go go, points are everywhere, collect as much as you can."

They rushed up to the high ground together, and there were bullets pouring down like a torrential rain!

The machine gunner at the window on the third floor was turning his gun and pulling the trigger, but before the gunshots rang twice, a stream of blood sprayed from his head, and he fell on the sandbag.

The predator squatting next to him hurried forward, took over the machine gun and was about to shoot, but just as he leaned his head over, a bullet opened his skull, sending brains and blood spray all over the place.

The roof of the double-storey villa is five hundred meters away.

Walker, who pulled the bolt of the gun, exhaled calmly, with an excited expression printed on his face.

"Two! Got 20 points! By the way, are there any extra points for headshots in this game?"

"Stop talking nonsense... concentrate on aiming!"

The distance of hundreds of meters has already exceeded the range of the bow and arrow. Tomorrow usually simply acts as an observer and reports to Walker next to him.

"Our people have advanced to the front... Shall we go together?"

The fastest rushing team has rushed to the high ground.

The progress of Group B was even smoother than expected. Sixteen teams with nearly 160 people directly tore a hole in the defense line, and the predators guarding there were completely stunned.

The machine gun was no longer on anyone.

Probably no one was there.

Holding the binoculars, Tomorrow observed calmly.

"Wait for the order, our battle position has not moved."

The order has not been updated, it seems that they are not the protagonists of this battle.

But it doesn't matter.

As a support group, they are the same as the A group held by the southern line. As long as they stay in their positions, they can get points.

...

"Drive! Hurry up! The teammates are all up, if you don't rush, we will fall behind!"

Riding on the back of a big pyrene bear, with its fluffy white fur pulled by Tail, and waving the iron-barrel rifle in her hand, she roared loudly.

Although the sound is not loud, but the momentum is in place.

"You, won't you be hit if you stand so high?"

Just as she was talking, a bullet whizzed past the big white bear's ear, scaring her so much that she almost turned around and ran away.

Tail pulled it back.

"Don't be afraid! There's still Sisi with Tail to give us support!"

Sisi, who was rushing along with him, gave the white bear a thumbs up.

"That's right, don't worry about rushing, just to protect Yuki's smile, we will ride you in turn!"

"I, I, I don't want to be ridden at all!"

The white bear with a steel plate hanging on its chest and head looked like it was about to cry, but it still mustered up the courage and rushed forward.

However, soon after she had just rushed to the high ground, she was surprised to find that the predators seemed to be dumbfounded when they saw her, and even forgot to shoot for a moment.

Could it be...

Exactly what they said.

Are you really strong?

Just as the White Bear Knight charged, the Eastern Front of the predators had completely collapsed.

The players who attacked the high ground had no intention of confronting this group of looters at all, and rushed into the formation like a swift wind.

You only get one point for killing regular targets.

But if you follow VM's mission prompts, reach the target point, and occupy the favorable terrain on the map, you can get 10 war points for everyone in the team!

A team of ten.

Even if only one person touches it, the task is considered complete.

If you stick to the point for more than three minutes, or wait until the next instruction is updated, you can get another 10 war points.

That's 20 points!

It's not too much to grab 5 points in a battle, right?

It's bloody money!

Unlike Group A, which is dominated by bolt-action rifles, the 16 teams in Group B are mostly composed of players equipped with automatic rifles, and each team is equipped with at least three "Sickle" assault rifles!

These assaulters received 60 rounds of ammunition and two grenades before attacking.

In addition, each team is also equipped with a support soldier carrying an iron fist rocket launcher.

This kind of bazooka is produced by the Legion, the warhead is charged with TNT, and it is very useful whether it is anti-vehicle or anti-infantry.

Especially when dealing with targets hiding in buildings or behind bunkers, just throw the barrel over, and blow up the person and the bunker together.

...

The eastern front suddenly encountered fierce firepower, and the predators guarding the high ground finally reacted.

The group of people who were bitten by them in the woods did not dare to move forward because of their superiority in firepower.

It's because those people are themselves the bait for a feint attack...

The players in Group A, who were prepared to sacrifice, did not take a step back no matter what the casualties were.

The predators on the high ground launched two consecutive attacks towards the bottom of the high ground, but were repelled by them.

The troops in the experimental base began to be mobilized. The predator squads guarding the southern front, under the leadership of the ten commanders of each team, quickly moved towards the eastern front for support.

However, at this moment, the second round of rocket salvo fell on top of their heads.

The buzzer hanging on the side of the rocket emits a piercing buzz, roaring from the air, like the long cry of a dead dog.

In the open space in front of the experimental base, a series of flames exploded. Not many people were killed on the spot, but countless people were terrified.

"Ahhh!"

"Hands! My arms!"

"Help me……"

There was constant wailing on the messy battlefield.

Bunny stood in front of the window, looking out the window at the flames of rumors, with a surprised expression on his face.

"F*ck...the commotion is big enough."

Are these two rounds of rockets the work of Mosquito?

This is too hanging!

Hearing the footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door, Bunny's heart moved slightly, he stretched out his handcuffed hands, grabbed the quilt and pasted it, and quickly walked to the wall next to the door.

The door was flung open, and two predators with rifles rushed in.

Before the two of them found him, Bunny directly threw the quilt in his hand on the two of them, and then exerted all his muscles, handcuffed one of them, and bumped the other into the wall with his shoulder.

With the power of 17 points and the explosive power of limit breaking, the two of them had no time to react.

After twisting the neck of the man in his arms, Bunny took advantage of the situation with an elbow, and ended the knocked-out predator against the wall.

"F*ck, the wound on the stomach is cracked again."

A physique of 7 points is logically not low.

Why hasn't it healed yet!

Instead of looking at the corpse on the ground, Bunny picked up a pistol from the ground, shot and smashed the chains of the handcuffs and anklets, then threw the pistol away, picked up the Legion-style weapon "Eripper" rifle on the ground, and walked out outside the door.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps downstairs, no one cared about him at all.

Walking down the stairs swaggeringly, Bunny was about to slip out through the back door, but he didn't expect to bump into an acquaintance in the corridor just as he went down the stairs.

Ka and his subordinates behind him saw Bunny.

Surprise flashed across their faces for a moment. The two predators immediately raised their automatic rifles and were about to fire. However, as an awakened person, Bunny reacted significantly faster, and grabbed the nearest rifle with his left hand. Grabbing the Ripper rifle in his right hand, he stabbed directly at the man behind Ka.

puff--

The bayonet pierced into the chest and pierced the man.

Bunny stirred it with his backhand, and blood spurted out. The man was like a balloon with a hole in it, his pupils dilated in pain, and he fell into a pool of blood.

After loosening the predator, Bunny looked at the man with the tattoo on his face.

"You spared my life, and I spared yours."

"Surrender."

The rifle in his hand seemed to be stuck in iron pliers, and he couldn't understand what Bunny was talking about. A sternness flashed in his eyes, and he pulled out the dagger with his left hand, stabbing Bunny's throat.

However, he soon realized what a serious mistake he had made.

What he thought was a quick blow was as slow as an ant crawling in the eyes of the other party.

Without further ado, Bunny raised his kick and kicked him in the chest, kicking him flying, and fell heavily to the ground.

The air in the chest cavity was squeezed out, and an unknown number of ribs were broken.

Ka only felt as if his chest had been hit by a truck, coughing like drowning, but what he coughed up was not water, but blood.

"I told you to save your life, why bother?"

Throwing away the Ripper rifle in his hand, Bunny picked up the automatic rifle that the leader of the predators had dropped on the ground, stepped forward and picked him up from the ground.

At this time, dense footsteps suddenly chased in from outside.

Take the lead in entering the lobby of Building 3.

[ Night Commander ] Just as they were about to rush towards the corridor, they happened to see Bunny standing in the corridor, and his eyes were filled with joy.

"F*ck? Bunny?"

The hostage escaped by himself? And also captured the main boss!

Bunny, who was carrying the leader of the predator, also saw him, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"F*ck, how fast are you guys moving?"

Night Commander team laughed.

"That's a must! Seeing that you've been miserable on the forum all day, isn't this here in a hurry to save you!"

50 silver ah. Can't you just lie down there for a while?

Regarding the matter of not knowing the mission, Bunny smiled and scolded to get out, and after a pause, he continued.

"Those predators seem to have gone to the ecological park below Building 3. There is an elevator and a fire exit on the first floor leading there. By the way, how is the battle outside?"

Night Commander team said with a smile.

"It's basically over! Our people pushed up from the Eastern Front and surrounded the troops deployed by the predators on the Eastern Front in Building 5. It is estimated that the siege is over at this moment. There are about ten teams left He was transferred to the southern front for support, and the battle has come to an end... Listen, the charge sentry, the brothers in the feint attack group also charged."

The harsh whistle echoed on the ground, becoming the last straw that crushed the psychological defense of the predators.

The battle lines began to crumble.

The last stubborn resistance gradually turned into a dying struggle.

The routed predators were either overthrown by tomahawks and bayonets in close combat, or shot in half-dug foxholes behind cover.

The team led by [ Keeping People Under The Knife ] completely occupied Building No. 3. After cutting off the power supply of the elevator, they forcibly opened the two gates of the fire exit.

The cold air from the first floor pours into the aisle.

The players lit a fire at the door.

Wearing a five-style exoskeleton, Ormas, the deputy captain of the guard, walked to the front line of the position and shouted at the predators surrounded by the ecological park.

"Your leader has been captured, and surrender is your only way out!"

"Put down your weapons, raise your hands, and come out consciously!"

"Ten minutes later, no one will stay!"

The other side of the battlefield.

Bunny, who found his VM through the map of Night Brothers, rushed into the tent directly opposite Building 3 with a rifle in his hand.

In the tent, lay a dying Deathclaw, with a metal box embedded in its stamina, it was unknown what it was used for.

Beside Deathclaw stood an old man.

After seeing him, the old man stopped what he was doing immediately without any hesitation, and simply raised his hands.

"I surrender."

Having participated in so many battles, Bunny can still understand the words "I" and "Surrender", but what should I do with that beast?

Just when Lao Bai was hesitating whether to take the first kill, his VM suddenly vibrated, and a line of light blue pop-up windows appeared.

[ Congratulations to the player "Badass Bunny" for completing the first kill of Deathclaw. ]

[ Reward: 10 silver coins and 50 contribution points. ]

[ Please choose whether to announce the full server: Yes/No ]

Seeing this line of words, Bunny, who was about to do something, was stunned for a moment.

F*ck? Does this work too?
