This Game Is Too Realistic

Flower Garden Street Subway Station Exit.

Players carrying weapons and ammunition were heading to the surface along the stopped escalator, passing through the fragmented streets, and marching towards the south.

The sky had already darkened, and it would be completely dark in an hour at most. But even so, the gray-green cloud could still be seen in the sky not far away.

"Didn’t they say that it would only begin 2 weeks later? It’s only been a week."

"The Tide is actually happening ahead of schedule."

"This is so exciting. We’re going to play a war campaign!"

The players were chatting with each other, all of them had expressions of excitement.

This time their opponents were mutants!

A monster siege, the highlight of MMORPGs!

It would be a massive loss if they missed such an exciting event. The players who would participate in the event even asked for a day off work or school in reality.

Walking in the group, Darkest, who was carrying a rifle, suddenly spoke, "I have a bad feeling about this."

Battlefield Cheerleader looked at him. "Did you discover anything?"

Darkest glanced at Spring Water Commander who was leading the team. "That coward didn’t wear his exoskeleton!"

"Haha, you’re overreacting." Battlefield Cheerleader chuckled and draped his arm around his shoulders, "Don’t worry, if you are afraid, you can stay behind me later. This big brother will protect you!"

Darkest rolled his eyes and pushed his hand away. "Get lost, you’re the one who rushes in every time!"

Battlefield Cheerleader said nonchalantly, "The most dangerous place is the safest place! Although I rushed the fastest, have you seen me die once?"

Walking in the middle of the group, Spring Water Commander looked at the map with a serious face. "Stop talking nonsense. Just follow my command later, and I will try to bring you back alive."

Others might rush to take this kind of exclusive mission, but he originally didn’t want to take it on.

Although it was not impossible to refuse, it was the exclusive mission issued by the faction leader level NPC. Normal people would not refuse it, right?

With the level of AI simulation in this game, if he refused to accept the mission, he might lose the NPC’s favorability.

That would be a really big loss!

Not understanding the anxiety in Spring Water Commander’s heart, Battlefield Cheerleader smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Stay calm!"

"..."

To be honest, he wasn’t calm at all. Instead, the mighty commander was actually a little panicky.

A company of 120 players was, to put it nicely, a death squad, to put it bluntly, a group of cannon fodders.

They had only 1 mission, and that was to go to the intersection of 65th Street and Changling Elevated Highway, to block Tide that was advancing northward along the highway. They had to delay the Tide until dawn at all costs, so as to buy time for the rear to deploy a defense line.

Spring Water Commander had studied the map. 65th Street was located north of the fifth ring. The street ran east to west, with tall buildings on both sides. The landmark building in the area was a clock tower.

Due to the disrepair of the surrounding buildings for a long time, the fallen concrete blocks had blocked many roads in the area, so it was not easy to pass through, which formed some sort of natural barrier.

The 12 lane Changling Elevated Highway was perpendicular to 65th Street, and the intersection was a relatively open area. It was the only passage that allowed a large number of people to pass through.

As long as they deployed heavy firepower on the tall buildings on both sides of the elevated highway to suppress the Crunchers behind the rugged obstacles, the pressure on the frontal battlefield would be reduced.

However that was only a theory.

Spring Water Commander had never led so many people, especially when half of the 120 players were newcomers.

Fortunately, the other half of the players were veterans who had participated in more than 2 large scale wars, and most of them were ability users.

On the way to the battlefield, Spring Water Commander tentatively divided the players into 3 infantry platoons, each with 4 10-man teams. He distributed communication equipment to platoon-level leaders there.

In addition to the 120 people who went to the front line, there was a 20-man artillery team behind them, carrying 6 88mm mortars and 12 boxes with a total of 144 shells to establish an artillery position in an open area 1.2 kilometers away from them.

Since there were tall buildings everywhere which were often hundreds of meters tall, artillery positions had to be built on the rooftop.

Considering that shooting artillery was a technical job, Spring Water Commander felt that it would be better not to rely too much on the efficiency of mortar support.

It may take more than a dozen shells to correct the trajectory, and any situation could happen on the battlefield.

At the same time, when the company led by Spring Water Commander went to 65th Street to intercept the massive Tide, a logistics force consisting of 200 strength type players, 20 two-headed oxen, and 300 NPCs was going back and forth between Baker Street and 68th Street, seizing the time to build the first line of defense against the Tide.

This logistics force was led by Sword Execution, chief architect of Shelter 404.

The road conditions in the urban area were complicated. From the northern suburbs to the edge of the fifth ring, two-wheeled motorcycles could be barely used. But if one went deep into the fifth ring to 68th Street, one could only use two-headed oxen and bicycles.

Fortunately, since Chu Guang had the foresight to transport the construction materials to Baker Street and store them in the warehouse of the castle, the supply line would not be stretched too long.

The reserve of millions of rounds of ammunition would be enough to deal with a regiment-scale battle.

The new industrial zone was already operating at its maximum capacity, and the production capacity of an average of 30,000 rounds of ammunition per day could theoretically be further increased to 50,000 rounds.

The old players located in Remote Creek Town were on their way back. Boulder Town was also caught in Tide and was sending troops deep into the third ring to suppress the Tide.

The longer this war dragged on, the better it was for Shelter 404!

Whether the Tide could be contained on 65th Street would be the key to victory in this battle!
