Chapter 871 The End of the Great Cold (2)
At six o'clock in the evening, when Shu Ling was repairing the protective shield again, he received a message from the system.
This is a rare day when the system actually starts broadcasting to the entire server.
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but curse in his heart: Good boy, are you afraid that we don't know which players and territories have died?
Now the electronic sound rang out, and it was the third territory that had been breached today. The first two could not even withstand the freezing rain, and a large number of courtyards were also destroyed.
The number of remaining players is decreasing, and Game Area 14 has been completely closed because the number of players has reached zero.
Countless comments that had been posted earlier were also erased one by one by the system as the players died.
The surviving players watched as the messages were erased by the system, as if lives were passing away before their eyes.
No matter how much you scroll up, the disappearing news will only increase...
Looking at the players, I feel sad and uncomfortable.
Even though they felt that this might be fate, how painful it must be to feel these players die so closely in front of their eyes?
[Foodie Pipi] District 9: "There are only 5 days left to complete the game. As long as I can get through it, I will have a bright future. This is the only way I can comfort myself."
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "Yes, it's the last 5 days, and this game is finally coming to an end!"
【Zi Bu Yu】District 9: “Everyone must cheer up, clearing the level to the end is our ultimate goal!”
【The Miserable Demon】District 9: "That's not the case. If you accept a gift from someone, you must keep your word."
Ye Hong looked at the thing in his hand that had been carefully wrapped, his voice choked up a little. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, leaving a more determined look.
Everyone spent this day in a very complicated mood.
[001 Territory] Many players received gifts from players in several game areas. The gifts in their hands were obviously very light, but they felt heavy on everyone's heart.
[Silver who loves to read novels] District 9: "I used to think that the end of the world might be a very exciting and novel thing. After experiencing this game, I realized that the days of peace were really wonderful."
[dxf] District 12: "What do you think? We in Daxia have experienced such painful days. How many ancestors have struggled in famine and extreme environments to achieve peace. Many people have stayed in peace for too long..."
[Lying Bug] District 12: "I'm a little homesick. Can I really make it through the game and survive to the end? Can I still go back to Blue Planet? My distant home planet..."
[Yan Xingchen] District 9: "Of course we can. With us here, and with such abundant inventory, we will definitely be able to survive!"
Many players were cheering here, saying that they must not give up, as it was already the fifth day left and they had to hold on no matter what.
By this time, when it was almost 12 o'clock in the night, the entire game area became quiet.
Of the 16 game areas that existed at the beginning of Xiaohan, 5 of them have now disappeared one after another.
There are 11 game areas left to survive and pass the level. Even though Shu Lingyi’s area has the highest survival rate in the entire area, there are only 7,659 people left.
All other game areas have less than 5,000 people left, and some of the most miserable ones only have the last 1,000 or 500 people left...
Everyone still has doubts about whether they can survive until the next day.
[Yi Ling]: "What do you think the new disaster will be in the last five days..."
After taking that pill to dispel the cold, all the players have gradually become immune to its effects.
Although pain is unavoidable, over time the body will become numb to the pain.
They lay on the bed one by one, looking at the chat records on the public screen.
There are only a few minutes left until 12 o'clock. They are looking forward to the new weather forecast and are curious about what they will experience in the next 5 days.
[March 6, 3103, 00:01, severe cold, today's lowest temperature is -103°, force 7 gale, strong cold wave is coming, freezing rain warning! Water drops turn into ice! The rime on the ground has formed a thick layer of ice, be careful of being frozen! Countless ice and snow monsters have broken the seal, please protect your territory. ]
It was just past 12 o'clock. Someone clicked on the weather forecast on the public screen, and someone listened carefully and heard a special sound.
After quickly scanning the content, there is actually no need to look at the weather forecast carefully, as everyone can already anticipate the dangers.
Because at this moment of 12 o'clock, a huge roar was heard from far away in the territory, which was the familiar sound of a tide of monsters.
But I didn't expect that even the system's electronic sound would appear for the first time on a day like this.
【Welcome all players to enter the final survival round. Please do your best to protect your territory and survive as long as possible. 】
[No matter which zone, as long as there is one player who survives to the end, the game is considered cleared. ]
[If the whole army is annihilated, the game will fail, all players will be wiped out, the Blue Planet will also enter self-destruction, and human civilization will come to an end. ]
[I wish all players to clear the game as soon as possible and have fun playing the game. 】
"Happiness is ass!"
After everyone heard the news about this game announcement, countless players started cursing on the public screen.
The roaring sounds of countless monsters can be felt outside, and they may approach the territory's protective shield and attack at any time.
One could even vaguely feel the ground shaking as they galloped, and countless players felt uneasy in the middle of the night.
【Zi Bu Yu】: "I can't even imagine how many monsters are surrounding us outside, oh my god!"
【Flowing Years】: "And if we start now, doesn't that mean we will have to fight day and night for the next few days?"
[Yi Ling]: "How else can we show the pressure of the final round? He is expecting us to either die of exhaustion or be killed by monsters, or both."
Players have begun to feel resentful, constantly cursing and venting their emotions on the public screen.
It was already heartbreaking to see so many players sacrifice themselves on the day we experienced to preserve the dozen or so game areas we have now.
This crappy game is still making people unable to sleep well. It’s so annoying that I want to curse.
But Shu Lingyi and his friends are already a group of mature players, and they have experienced similar situations more than once, so the most important thing is to find a solution to survive.
[Bai Moxi] District 9: "Instead of worrying about the future, why don't you think about how to arrange the tactics and distribute the troops, and then work in two shifts day and night to deal with the beast tide."
【Yi Ling】Zone 9: "To be honest, I suggest that the two-shift work be divided into three shifts, each about 8 hours. This usually coincides with the time we take the Quhan Pills."
[Yi Ling] District 9: "Then try to take inventory of all medicines, armor, and other items, as well as the list of combat players and the distribution of shifts at that time."
However, Shu Lingyi is not very knowledgeable about this kind of thing after all.
After making the suggestion, the important task is still handed over to Zhong Xiu, Bai Moxi and others. They know how to handle this part of the matter and can ensure that it is managed in an orderly manner for you.
They can even provide short-term precision training, not requiring players to fully maximize their effectiveness, but allowing players to have a certain degree of teamwork.
This old player who has followed Zhong Xiu all the way has already received training and is now a mature "veteran".
People like Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei, who are capable of playing this role, will of course be the first to step forward to fight.
Now let’s check the levels and numbers of the monsters in this monster tide, and what skills the leading ones have, so as to set an example for other players.
[The Miserable Demon] District 9: "This freezing rain doesn't stop. Do we have to fight in this freezing rain?"
[Zi Bu Yu]: "Do you still need to doubt it? It must be. It is probably counting on us to fight in the freezing rain. If we get seriously injured, and our armor is suddenly broken by the battle, the cold air will take our lives in a matter of minutes. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as the final round of survival."
The more he talked, the more Zi Bu Yu wanted to roll his eyes to the sky and curse at him angrily.
【Foodie Pipi】District 9: “Okay, okay, you’re not going to leave anyone a way to survive!”
[Yunbao] District 9: "Fortunately, we still have sufficient stocks of various medicinal materials here. When the time comes, we will arrange for someone to boil the best medicinal soups in the back of the restaurant, as well as various medicinal soups, pastries, etc. that can dispel the cold. Anyway, we will prepare all the effective ones."
[Bai Moxi]: "Yunbao's idea is very good. We will put these things behind us when the time comes. They can be used anytime and anywhere. In case someone gets hurt or something happens, we can arrange for someone to rescue them in the front."
[Dancing Shadows] District 9: "I'll give everyone a portion of Nine Tribute Glue. With this, even if you get injured, you can save your life in time when there's no time to rescue you."
If they can be dragged to a safe place at the rear with their lives hanging on, and then rescued by medical staff, how many casualties can be avoided!
Shu Ling and one or two others put on their equipment and protected themselves well before setting off.
A group of people formed a team, holding lanterns and moving against the cold wind, step by step towards the edge of the territory's protective shield.
[His Highness Nan]: "This freezing rain can be stopped by this special defensive item, but we will build a row of sheds at the edge of the protective shield in front."
Qi Xuanze discussed it with Wang Wenwen and decided that with the structure drawn up by Wang Wenwen and some changes to the materials he proposed, they should be able to make a decent special greenhouse.
This shed only needs to provide protection against freezing rain, so give it a try at night. Freezing rain is too destructive for all kinds of buildings.
If the greenhouse can't stop it, there's no need to waste materials.
Fortunately, as long as we follow Qi Xuanze's idea and the materials used are good enough, it is basically not much worse than upgrading a two-in-one courtyard house.
These legendary materials can be put together to build a rainproof shelter, which is enough to withstand half a day or a whole day in the freezing rain and cold wind!
Shu Lingyi's bag does contain a lot of building materials, whether it is the green jade ceiling paint or the Nanhua Liushuang mulberry wood, they are all legendary quality and can even be used to build a courtyard house.
[His Majesty Nan]: "If we use these materials to build a shed, it should be able to last for a day or two."
[Yi Ling]: "Alright, let's build a shed at the edge of the territory's protective shield. If everyone wants to retreat to rest, at least they can have a temporary shelter from the wind and rain."
Shu Lingyi also supports this. The choice to build a shed actually requires an emergency first aid station where players can heal their injuries in time.
She also thought it would be better to build a small room in this first aid station, a separate independent room.
It's similar to a medical clinic, so it's convenient to take off your clothes for treatment without having to go back to the pharmacy.
But the materials used to build houses are not easy to use... This makes Shu Lingyi a little distressed.
If it really doesn't work... If it can't be implemented, then I have to buy another teleportation stone to build a direct link from this edge area to the pharmacy.
This way, patients can be taken directly to treatment.
[His Highness Nan]: "Ordinary houses won't work. The courtyard house already has a bit of trouble resisting freezing rain, and this one is still blessed by the system."
[His Highness Nan]: "It's not enough for an ordinary house to have good materials, and there's no fireplace. It's worse than a sauna. Even if the player takes off his clothes for treatment, it needs a warm environment."
After hearing this, Shu Lingyi thought that it was right. She just considered that some wounds would inevitably require an independent space to be treated...
[Yi Ling]: "Then let's buy a teleportation stone. It's very fast anyway."
Just walking from home to the edge of the territory of this game area, the outside of the protective shield is already filled with a large group of monsters watching eagerly.
The protective shield that was attacked by them lost 2% of its health in a short period of time.
[Bai Moxi]: "Damn it! If we keep doing this, the players will have to keep dealing with these monsters here. If we let them attack us any longer, we'll be finished!"
As soon as they left the territory and felt the roars of these guys, everyone immediately set up their battle formations, ready to fight these monsters to the death.
During the battle, players can open the survival guide at the same time to check the information of these monsters.
As expected, this time the leaders were all level 10 monsters, and the army of monsters following them were all level 9.
There are no monsters of level 8 or below.
This means that during these five days, players will not only have to face level nine and level ten monsters, but also have to deal with continuous freezing rain and cold winds.
[So Redundant]: "There will be more and more level 10 monsters, replacing all the level 9 monsters... Killing them will not drop anything, which will test our inventory."
[So redundant]: "But now we have a complete set of armor and such good weapons, it is not too difficult for us to kill even a level 10 monster. We can also use the thunder cannon to bombard it when necessary."
Of course, using the Thunderbolt Cannon is a last resort when you are at your wit's end.
It would be best to save it for use in the later stages. When the number of players decreases and they can no longer sustain the battle against the monsters, it will still be in time to use it.
Always have a bottom line, just in case.
[Xin Jing]: "Don't panic. I made so many thunder cannons. There are at least two thousand or more in the warehouse. It doesn't matter if you keep some and use some."
[Yi Ling]: "I also think it would be best to use them together, so that it can also help the territory control the number of monsters outside."
There are so many monsters this time that you can’t see the end at a glance!
It seemed as if there would be an endless stream of monsters emerging from the distance, and what was even more speechless was that these monsters were also quite difficult to deal with!
Shu Lingyi and Zhong Qingwei teamed up to kill a snow mountain ice bear.
Its entire body is covered with solid ice crystals attached to its hard and sharp fur. The thick fat combined with the ice crystals form a very strong defense.
Even with ice-breaking arrows and ice-breaking drills in hand, it is difficult to directly break its defense. Otherwise, it is said that the level 10 monster here is much more difficult to deal with.
However, with these props, comparing the values in all aspects, it is much easier than dealing with the Snow Mountain Dragon Turtle before.
After finding the weak points, he targeted the eyes and the ice bear's neck as the core targets.
The two of them only need to attract its attention together. Even if they are attacked by the ice bear, there is no need to be afraid. The defensive power of their own armor can withstand several attacks from the ice bear.
The player's body size is naturally much smaller than these level ten monsters, but being small has its advantages. The player can use his small body to move nimbly among them.
However, there are too many monsters. If you want to concentrate on fighting one monster with two people, it can only be a beautiful thing in your imagination. It is likely that three or five monsters will besiege you together.
Everyone had to organize into a small team of 5 to 6 people, with a few people in the back to output, a few people in the front to attract fire, and the other two players had to stay to find the weaknesses and cut in accurately.
Such a simple small team actually tests everyone's combat awareness and tacit understanding.
In addition, the monsters here are so chaotic and the players’ night vision is not very good, so it is inevitable that they will suffer losses and get injured.
But the players did not retreat. After forming teams and acting, they were able to fight their way out in the dark no matter how chaotic the situation was!
After a two-hour-long battle, everyone returned to the territory with injuries.
Many players were injured, but no one died yet.
As they killed a lot of monsters, the health of the territory's protective shield only dropped by 5% in this hour.
This is still good. Shu Ling breathed a sigh of relief: the current blood loss rate has barely recovered to the state before the explosion of rain, frost, sleet and snow. It's just repaired twice a day, no problem.
[Yi Ling]: "For the time being, we can use this thunder bomb to blow up a wave, and then we can have a good rest. Tomorrow we will build the shed according to what Qi Xuanze said, and then organize more people to move forward."
【So Redundant】: "That's a good idea. Otherwise, it would be too disadvantageous to fight them at night."
[Tihua Zhixiu]: "It's pitch dark, our eyesight is not as good as the monsters, and our size is so different. I was just ambushed by someone, and my armor's durability was almost reduced by 100 points!"
【Tian Mozi】: "Me too. It was too chaotic. I didn't know where I was or who I was fighting. I would have died faster if I wasn't careful. Luckily I dodged quickly and pulled out a super shield."
The players here are already the top fighters in [001 Territory].
Shu Ling had suffered a lot of losses in previous battles, so he suddenly felt that it was not suitable for fighting at night. Players would really suffer after dark.
At least we have to build a shed here, and then paint a special-grade large lantern on the shed, which can at least illuminate the range of about three to five meters in front, or even within 10 meters, to increase the player's visual line of sight and make it easier for the player to fight.
So Shu Ling took out two boxes of thunder cannons from his warehouse, each box contained 30 cannons.
The hundred or so players with the least injuries started throwing. The players kept a certain distance so that the thrown thunder cannons could land evenly in various positions without overlapping the attack coverage area.
[Yi Ling]: "You guys go ahead and throw the ball. A level 10 monster will definitely not be killed by the explosion. When the time comes, our archers will be able to deal more damage from a distance."
"Then listen to the boss."
Because there are indeed a lot of thunder cannons, and there are also materials for production, and even [Xin Jing] is still waiting to develop better ones at any time.
Therefore, Shu Lingyi did not mind selling Thunderbolt Cannon to others, with the purchase limit of three boxes per territory.
【Lying Bug】District 12: "It really solved our urgent problem. We were completely unprepared for the level 10 monster wave. Although we have equipment to fight, it is not suitable to go out at the moment."
[Pudding] District 6: "With this, we should be able to hold on for a few more days. At least we don't have to risk our lives tonight."
The situation everyone faces is similar, which is nothing more than one side being injured due to obstructed vision and unable to get timely treatment.
[Xiao Hong who loves curry crabs] District 2: "Originally, the combat effectiveness of our territory's players was no better than that of other territories. Now, because we didn't handle the beast tide in time, the protective shield dropped by 15% in a short period of time, forcing us to go out and fight the monsters. Many players died..."
This is the heroine from Area 2 speaking, and her situation is also miserable.
The battle tonight was also fought at the cost of lives. If it weren't for Shu Ling's "friendly gift", these territories would have lost half of their players overnight.
[Luolanyi] District 16: "There are a lot of monsters here, and many players are injured. Thanks to the big boss Yi for supporting me with three boxes of thunder cannons."
[Duzhou] District 16: "This Thunderbolt Cannon has really strong damage! I'll blow them up with one blast!"
[Cang Sheng Taegeuk] District 9: "No kidding, the damage of the Thunderbolt Cannon is not exaggerated. After the explosion, even a level 10 monster will be left with little health. Let the archers make up for the damage, and they will definitely be killed!"
[Xiao Hong who loves curry crab] District 2: "We also want to build a shed at the entrance of the shield like Boss Yi, but I'm afraid we can't afford the materials needed for this shed..."
