Half a month had passed since the start of the competition.
In this half a month, the number of people who died was much less than the first two.
One of the reasons was that the number of players participating in the competition had decreased, and the competition map had expanded, making it more difficult to encounter each other.
In addition, it was because many guilds had adopted the same alliance strategy as Nightless City. The first choice between guilds in close proximity was not to fight, but to cooperate against external threats.
However, while the number of battles between players had decreased, the number of battles against the Terminators had increased significantly.
These days, at least half of the contestants who died were killed by the Terminators, and the proportion was still increasing.
The number of Terminators was also increasing by the day!
"The situation is not looking good … Those garbled codes might be a hint …"
Feng Luo threw the Advanced Energy Cannon in his hand to the Fire Manipulator Terminator that he had just subdued. His silhouette sank into the black wormhole, but his expression showed that he was thinking about something.
During this half a month, a message would occasionally appear in the field of view of all participating players.
However, the problem was that this information was all a mess of program code. There was no way to read it. Even he couldn't get any useful information from it.
However, Digital Cat seemed to be very interested in the random code and put a lot of effort into it.
Even though the frequency of the garbled code was getting lower and lower, and there was no new garbled code in the last few days, she was still trying to decipher the message.
Digital Cat took over.
On the other hand, Feng Luo was at ease as he went out to "hunt" so that he could earn more tournament points before the start of the match.
The only thing he didn't expect was that there was still no news from the Phoenix.
Although, he believed that with the phoenix's ability, it was impossible for it to be eliminated.
But now, he was a little uncertain.
After all, there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the game. For example, in the case of Xiao Luo Shui obtaining the Hound, it was mentioned that he was not the only one who had awakened the psionic energy in the game.
Although the Phoenix was powerful, if it encountered an expert with a Boss Grade pet, it could still be a problem.
With the phoenix's strength, it was also possible for it to compete for first place.
He had spent a lot of points and his current ranking was not high. Without the insurance of the Phoenix, it was obviously not very advantageous for Nightless City.
Swoosh!
With a sway of his body, Feng Luo's silhouette appeared in a dimly lit room.
"I'm back!"
He heard Mu Wu's voice.
It was a large building in the center of the city that was a comprehensive shopping mall. At this time, it was requisitioned as a temporary headquarters, and the place he was teleported back to was Mu Wu's temporary office.
It did not take up much space, but from the large number of floating screens in the office, one could see the entire scene in the ruined city.
Thousands of fully-armored players were bustling about in the city. The borders and main entrances of the city had been set up perfectly.
Many of these defensive positions were constructed from parts of the Terminator, modified by Mecha Pilots.
In some places, they even used the bodies of two destroyed Quasi-Boss Grade Z-990s as obstacles.
From the looks of it, there were at least five thousand Terminator wreckage destroyed, which was the result of the battle of the entire city during this period.
"There haven't been any new players joining since yesterday. This means that we have gathered all the people within a certain range. "
As Mu Wu spoke to Feng Luo, he changed the image on the screen into a three-dimensional map with many white areas of different sizes.
"Our people have already scouted the entire competition area. At present, there are only five player alliances with more than five thousand players left.
In Storm City, our guild has occupied a city. September and Nine Star have united to occupy another city.
In the capital city, the number one World Bloc and number two Moon Brilliance Group have each occupied a city.
The last one is the guild alliance of North City. Well, the people of Miki Financial Group are influential, but they do not have a dominant position … "
Mu Wu pointed at the large white map on the map that was distributed in five directions.
"In addition, there are some small and medium-sized forces, about a dozen of them."
This was the current distribution of the remaining player forces.
From this map, although there were more than 30 main city-level cities in the Federation camp in War, Storm City, the main military city, and the capital city were indeed the strongest.
However, the main military city, Stormwind City, and the capital city were indeed the strongest. The economic main city, North City, barely managed to retain some of its reputation, while the other main cities could not even compare to some of the second-tier cities below the three main cities.
This was also the reason why the number one experts of these three main cities could almost all firmly enter the top ten.
"In addition, there should be some solo players left, but the number is not yet available, and it is estimated that there will not be too many."
Mu Wu shook his head slightly.
Due to the flexibility of solo players, they could choose to avoid the Terminator army when faced with it.
But regardless of whether they were guild players or solo players, as long as they were human, once discovered by the Terminators, they would be hunted down.
This was especially true for Commander-grade Terminators, because the players looked almost the same and had the ability to hide from detection.
Even Scout players would not be able to detect them until they got close.
In addition, their combat power was very strong, and ordinary players were not a match for them at all. Plus, supplies in non-city areas were also a problem, so solo players really did not have a high chance of surviving.
Of course, if a solo player could survive in such a situation, then he was definitely not an ordinary person.
"On the other hand, according to our intelligence, the Terminator army has expanded to more than 20 times its original size. Once they gather in the wild to attack a force, even the five major forces will not be able to resist."
Mu Wu changed the image again to a map with a large number of red dots representing the Terminators. His expression became a little solemn.
"Moreover, they are now all distributed between the major player cities, isolating the traffic between the cities, and have a full army of sea, land, and air forces.
This has also led to the fact that, except for a few people like you who have the ability and strength, ordinary people have no ability to go out and fight at all. Moreover, there are constantly weaker contestant forces being mobilized by the Terminator army to 'end' them.
Obviously, the behavior of these Terminators is not in line with the setting to accelerate the progress of the game.
Fortunately, you judged that there was a problem with the Terminators from the beginning, so we stopped killing the nearby forces and adopted a policy of drawing them to our side.
Otherwise, at this time, it is likely that we would be targeted by the Terminators and eliminated. "
Mu Wu's expression was a little relieved.
"That's not good.
Because, according to the current development, the number of Terminators will only increase, and the number of players will continue to decrease.
I'm sure that once the Terminators think they can defeat us. It is very likely that they will directly launch an all-out attack!
When that time comes, we will not be able to fight back at all!
So, we must take action. "
Feng Luo looked at the map and said in a tone of certainty.
Clang! Clang!
At that moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open.
"The analysis is out!"
Digital Cat, whose hair was a little messy and whose eyes were bloodshot under the thick glasses, said with a tired expression.
"What analysis is out?"
Mu Wu was a little puzzled at first, but then he realized.
"You mean that messy code has been analyzed. What kind of information is it …?"
"See for yourself!"
Digital Cat sent the information to Feng Luo and Mu Wu, then fell asleep on the table next to her.
Nearly 10 days of spending a lot of time to decipher the code and control it to fight at the same time. Even with her mind after awakening, it was inevitable that she felt extremely tired.
"Let her sleep. We'll talk outside!"
—
Ah, ah, by the way, there is thunder and lightning outside. The lightning is a little scary.
I think there will be a power outage in a while. I'll try to use my phone to send at least one chapter as promised after the power goes out.
But I can't be sure, because after the power goes out, the mobile base station will also stop working.
So, I'll try my best. Plans can't keep up with changes … God is messing with me!
