Chapter 374: How Can One Not Go Crazy?
A small, desert-ruined town was almost completely filled with an endless stream of monsters.
Anno's powerful lure drew all the monsters in the area. Obsidian and Mingxiao used the terrain in the ruins to kill the monsters as easily as cutting vegetables.
Although these monsters are also players, the monster faction experiences the items used by players from a different perspective, and the game has taken this aspect into full consideration.
The other players all stood still, unsure of what to do.
"Which team took care of all the newbies?" one player asked, snapping out of their daze.
"This isn't how you handle a complete annihilation operation. Judging by the strength of this inducing agent, it's something a legion would only use when launching a large-scale annihilation campaign."
"I guess one of the players used the wrong method?"
"Maybe one of the players is going crazy. Anyone who plays this lousy game can go insane."
"Take a picture quickly, and post it on the forum later."
"......"
Outside the ruins, Anno and Poponia each lay on top of an off-road vehicle, firing sniper rifles incessantly with almost no pause.
Anno hadn't touched a gun in a long time. Weapons in the interstellar era were far more advanced than those on Earth, but some guns still had similar structures, only their lethality was much greater.
The setting of "Apocalypse" is a relatively primitive planet, so the weapons are as ancient as possible, but their destructive power is still much stronger than Earth's weapons.
The sniper rifle in her hand alone could penetrate the thick shell of a monster, and at a certain distance, it could also penetrate three to five monsters at the same time.
To improve his kill efficiency, Anno specifically sought out angles to snipe monsters standing on the same firing line, making him faster than Mingxiao and Heiyao, who were trying to kill monsters at close range.
Some sharp-eyed players spotted the two people shooting from the SUV, but assumed they were just trying to sneak in and complete the mission. Seeing this, other players followed suit.
This triggered a chain reaction, and the players all came to their senses and took the opportunity to complete the mission.
Half of the people doing this task are newbies. They're incredibly excited to be able to get such an easy task.
In less than half an hour, Anno and his team completed the task and even exceeded the target. The excess amount could be counted towards the task assigned by Mingxiao and Poponia Academy.
"We can leave now." Anno put away his gun and sat back in the passenger seat from the roof.
As soon as she gave the order, Mingxiao and Heiyao immediately used invisibility items and rushed in their direction.
After the SUV picked them up, it drove a short distance away, and then they detonated the bomb that had been placed in the rubble.
The powerful bomb reduced the numerous monsters and the ruins to ashes. In an instant, the monster's heartland was fractured, and new monsters only emerged a dozen seconds later.
These weapons and equipment have almost used up all of Mingxiao and Poponia's points; new players don't have enough points to buy such good weapons.
Anno watched as his points on the panel rapidly increased, and he was already planning to buy new equipment.
There are three more monster-hunting quests to come, which are not too difficult. All three quests take place in the ruins of a huge city in the desert.
Anno wanted to finish the missions quickly, so he chose mission locations that were close to each other.
They soon arrived at the mission location, where massive city ruins stood before them, like an old, aging beast.
The desert is dry, making it difficult for plants to grow. Part of this city was buried by sandstorms, but a large part of it still remains unchanged. The crisscrossing streets, the shops lining both sides, the huge billboards, and the train tracks suspended in mid-air all testify to its former prosperity.
This city is more developed and advanced than the ones Anno has seen on Earth, but slightly less developed than the developed cities on other planets. When the game developers created the background, they must have referenced some less developed planets.
The off-road vehicle slowly drove into the wasteland. Poponia and Obsidian were on guard on the roof, while Anno placed drones in all four directions to observe. She had several real-time observation feeds in front of her, but she could process them all at the same time.
The Zerg's brains can process information extremely quickly, and they have a photographic memory of everything they've seen.
If the consciousness network is added, the processing speed is increased countless times, and what she sees is also what Sitar and the others see.
Even in a game, in this combat atmosphere, their ingrained instincts allowed them to quickly get into the zone, exchanging information across their consciousness networks. It was as if each of the seven of them possessed seven pairs of eyes.
Their consciousness and thoughts are interconnected, and they can completely trust each other.
This is the Zerg's greatest advantage on the battlefield.
The drone transmitted images of several monsters, but they all disappeared quickly.
The city was vast and empty, and the monsters seemed to have all hidden themselves away. Even when a few were spotted, they did not attack.
Anno communicated and analyzed the situation with his family members in the consciousness network and decided to find a high place with a good view first.
Tanville quickly found out about the abandoned area and the monsters. The monsters in this city only come out at night, and even if they could catch a few during the day, it would be too slow.
The time in the game is the opposite of their real time. It's already past nine o'clock in the evening in the real world, which is about time for Anno to go to sleep.
After she takes a nap, it will be evening time for games.
After finding their spots, Anno and the others logged off one after another.
Anno took off her motion-sensing glasses and looked to the side, just as Sitar was looking in her direction.
After taking off his motion-sensing equipment, he walked up to her and helped her remove it.
Anno yawned, feeling sleepy, and wrapped her arms around Sitar's waist, snuggling against his chest like a little animal.
"You'll feel better if you take a shower before you sleep." Sitar patted her head and brushed the stray hairs from her cheek.
“…Mmm,” Anuo responded softly, holding him still, her weight resting on him, she was almost asleep.
In the game, she is tense and excited, but as soon as she logs off, she relaxes immediately. During her core repair period, she always falls asleep instantly.
Sitar stopped bothering her and carried her into the bathroom. Bazel had already prepared water and gold sand for her, as well as bath supplies.
In the living room, several family members sat there staring at each other, but Tanville didn't look at them, leisurely reading a book.
It's still very early for them. The young prince won't wake up until at least nine in the morning, and they usually only get some sleep in the early hours of the morning.
During this period, the little princess would sometimes sleepwalk, wander around the living room for a while, and then fall asleep on the sofa or carpet. So they all stayed in the little princess's room to keep her company, since they could just take a nap.
