Facts had proved that the ‘game’ that brought humans to this wasteland to experience various natural disasters was indeed a beast.
More and more human beings chose not to believe this beast, and choosing to stay away from it was indeed the most correct choice!
“Player Su Mo, it has been detected that the number of deaths of creatures in the wasteland has exceeded the forecast line. The game is being upgraded. Please be patient.
“During the upgrade process, all game functions will be disabled except for storage space and access to Regional Channels.
“The current upgrade progress is at 0.01% and the estimated upgrade time is 4 hours and 59 minutes!”
Su Mo was stunned as he looked at the bullets quickly spitting out at the output of the machine tool and the sudden upgrade prompt that popped up on the game panel that was still accessible just now.
He was about to withdraw bullets for a trade, but in an instant, his fists on his sides hardened.
The first game upgrade happened because it detected the human death baseline that broke through its forecast during the novice disaster. Hence, it carried out the 1.0 version upgrade.
The second game upgrade happened because there were too many surviving humans, and the strength of these humans was several times better than the forecast, so it upgraded to the 2.0 version, which was the ocean version.
However, this time, after a day’s battle, with the human beings suffering more than 20% of the battle losses, the game abruptly started the third upgrade!
Judging from the current situation, both humans and foreign races would lose their means of contacting the outside world after the upgrade started.
Every sea area and every battlefield area had truly become an ‘isolated island’ on the ocean!
Some people speculated that this was the game giving humans and foreign races a fair chance to compete, that was why it was eliminating the possibility of the other party calling in foreign aid.
Some people also speculated that after this upgrade, the human situation would undergo a series of earth-shaking changes.
However, in any case, at the moment when the battlefield had been completely divided, the battle would be the bloodiest in the next five hours of upgrade time.
“Fortunately, before the game was updated, we traded 50 thousand machine gun bullets and 50 thousand rifle bullets to the village.
“According to the current situation of Tundra One, it shouldn’t be too difficult for them to hold on for a few hours!
“OS, how far are we from the navigation point now?”
After pressing the manufacturing button of the machine tool, Su Mo held down the Bluetooth headset next to his ear as he walked up and issued an inquiry command.
After the raid on Tundra One was over, Lu Yongyi contacted Su Mo immediately.
In three minutes, after Lu Yongyi described the thrilling scene of the attack on the fleet briefly, Su Mo was shocked, and then without any hesitation, he drew the ammunition from the village and used it to support the fleet.
At the same time, after spending a lot of money to acquire raw materials, the mechanics on Hope One also moved quickly and used the machine tool to make bullets.
Unfortunately, the time of the game update was too abrupt, so the 20 thousand rounds of bullets that had just been released from the machine tool could not be traded.
[Dear Captain Su Mo, the current time is… March 8 at 20:14:03…
[Currently, Hope One’s straight-line distance from the set target navigation point is 613.8 kilometers.
[Currently, Hope One’s speed is 65.98 knots (122 km/h)
[According to the speed fluctuation, the estimated time to arrive at the navigation point is 01:21:42 on March 9]
[I wish you a happy journey~]
On the huge ocean, the flag of Hope One has been erected and it was bursting with orange light!
With a speed of up to 120 kilometers per hour, the light ahead has been connected into one line.
From a distance, the entire ship seemed like a stretch of silk as it traveled across the ocean.
As it was moving full speed ahead, Hope One would not evade any foreign marine races or foreign terrestrial races, except for the human life response with the OS would help to control and avoid.
Under the huge impact, any creature without eyes that dared to stand in front of Hope One would be smashed into fine powder in an instant!
And the further you went to the deep sea, the more terrifying the fluctuation of the sea surface.
For ordinary ships, they would not dare to move at such a high speed with such sea surface fluctuations.
However, for Hope One, with the additional entry of the wave breaker attribute, its hull speed would become more and more abnormal!
Up to now, the acceleration effect brought by the entry had exceeded 45%!
And according to the current fluctuation of the sea surface, it would reach an unprecedented bonus of 70% after entering the premise of the battlefield area 3!
At that time, Hope One, which weighed 4000 tons and more, would have a limit speed exceeding 140, twice that of an old-style train.
“The tsunami can last for an hour and a half. At 9:30, its distance from Tundra One can be within 450 kilometers.
“Without the tsunami, Hope One could only go underwater and navigate at 55 knots, which means…”
Stepping up to the deck and feeling the protection of the Hope One flag, Su Mo stood still as he quickly did the math in his brain with the roaring sea breeze hitting against his face.
With the current firepower detection range and the attack distance of rockets, the threat would be lifted directly as soon as Hope One enters within 191 kilometers of the fleet.
At 11 o’clock, Hope One was within 300 kilometers of the fleet.
At that time, according to the tsunami fluctuations and the increment of the wave breaker bonus, it only took Hope One 40 minutes to sail for a distance of 100 kilometers.
As long as Tundra One could successfully hold on until 11:40 before the clock turned, it would be completely safe.
After calculating the time, it was already 8:20 in the evening.
It would be 9:30 by the time the tsunami was over and there were conditions for combat. At that moment, even if the foreign races launched an attack, the two sides could only fight for one round before Hope One arrived.
They would have 100 thousand bullets for that hour and a half. There was absolutely no way of rushing into the firepower circle formed by the fleet unless the foreign races had become death warriors.
“Don’t panic, now that my sister has a level 4 title, even if foreign races really have the means to attack her, she can run away even if she jumps into the water to escape relying on the special ability of the title.
“However, the game is updating and it broke off everyone’s connection…
“I hope the Five Royal Clans won’t get anxious in advance and stimulate the means, otherwise it will be difficult to detonate the battle at the right time!”
Staring at the night sky and the slightly bloody moon, Su Mo’s eyes were indistinct and he strode to the back of the hull.
After fumbling for a while, Su Mo gently pressed a pitch-black button in an inconspicuous place.
In the next second, the deck, which was tightly stitched initially, began to rapidly combine and transform.
Accompanied by a bone-chilling squeak, the neat decks disappeared in just half a minute and were replaced by a block-shaped device protruding from the gap.
Unlike the mighty and domineering destroyer naval guns at the bow, the block-shaped device looked unremarkable.
However, as Su Mo took two steps forward and opened the operation panel of the block-shaped device, 12 small cones gradually floated up from the baffle of the device after some clicks.
The cones did not seem to make the size of the device, but anyone who knew the insider news would not dare to underestimate the R-1 stamp engraved on them.
“It’s fine if you don’t come…
“But since you dare to come, then don’t think about going back!”
Su Mo did not move after he clicked the bomb reserve area button on the device and looked at the 12 R-1 rockets left, as well as the five extremely charming R-3 ballistic missiles neatly placed in the corner.
However, an indescribable killing intent started creeping into his eyes.
…
“Shelter Leader Lu, we do have reinforcements, right? The ammunition came just in time. If it were any slower, the game would shut down the trading system!”
“Dang, 100 thousand rounds, Shelter Leader Lu. Are the higher-ups our reinforcements?”
“I suggest that when the foreign races show up later, let’s not use this ammo first. We should shoot them with crossbows first and then surprise them when they get close.”
“I think that’ll work. Now that the trading market is closed, we can’t buy materials to make bows and arrows even if we want to. We shouldn’t waste these bullets if we don’t need to use them.”
“Oh, I feel bad whenever you say waste. Just now, we shot before these sons of b*tches approached us, a lot of bullets were wasted in vain!”
Weapons were always the best tranquilizers for war, whether it was in the age of civilization on Earth or in the cannibalistic wasteland…
Half an hour ago, all the captains were still full of sadness.
Although because of the current tense situation, they were raising their spirits to command the team, the frustration on their faces could not be concealed.
However, when Shen Ke lifted her hand and waved at the open space on the deck inadvertently, they were completely stunned.
Fifty boxes of bullets! 100 thousand rounds!
What concept was that?
These bullets would have taken the lives of at least 30 thousand foreign races if they were fired before the foreign races were in the immediate vicinity.
However, if they attacked these foreign races nearby, the firepower provided by these bullets would greatly provide an output and a counterattack environment for the raft warriors below, then, they would at least take down no less than 40 thousand foreign races!
In other words, if these foreign races, who were currently eyeing them in the distance, dare to attack them after the tsunami ended, then the fleet only needed a well-coordinated counterattack to take the lives of these foreign races!
Moreover, in addition to this direct change, all the captains who believed Lu Yongyi “lied” before had also undergone subtle changes in their mentality.
Before Lu Yongyi said that there were reinforcements, they thought he was lying, so they were not only pessimistic but also a little negative.
In their opinion, it was too difficult to win this battle. These foreign races were like locusts in the field. They could not wipe them out no matter how hard they tried.
However, if the reinforcements were really coming now, then this endless battle would turn into a short defensive battle.
It had become a battle that you could win as long as you held out until the time ran out!
Such a change was simply a boost to these people.
As it got rid of the negativity, a touch of longing and hope for tomorrow also suddenly emerged.
However, before they could talk about the military tactics excitedly and come up with a complete countermeasure, a sound that was like a thunderbolt from the blue suddenly came from the command room not far away and shocked everyone on the spot.
“It’s too late, everyone. Get ready quickly.. We have to counter-charge and break out!”
