Chapter 433 Sublimation!
[The area of influence you own, Dawn Town, is under threat, triggering a limited-time event. From now on, you can use limited-time events to issue limited-time regional commissions for all players in the area. ]
Bai Er, who had just left the military camp while driving a mecha, received a prompt from the panel information, and the events that happened far away were also closely related to him.
Perhaps it was because of some "system mechanism" that he didn't know yet, or perhaps it was because of the "communication device" between him and the town that made him know what happened in the area of influence.
In short, the opportunity to issue a limited-time regional commission again was so bright and clear in front of him.
What are you still hesitating about?
To prevent those players from working without effort, profitable tasks always allow them to exert their subjective initiative.

…
"The master has replied and asked us to evacuate with everyone." Kuang Xin said softly, asking Gong Yan for his opinion.
"Evacuate? What can we evacuate with?" Gong Yan frowned, and had no intention of doing so at all.
Rely on the old cars left in the town that make a "booming" sound when they move? Or rely on the two legs of those ordinary people?
The omnic troops are already approaching, and running to the plain outside the town at this time will make them a complete sitting duck.
On the contrary, if they stick to the town, there may be a slight possibility of defeating the enemy.
After operating the town for many days, some basic fortifications and heavy machine guns that are not suitable to carry can help them defend against the enemy.
The premise is... the scale of the omnic mechanized troops coming is not as large as the factory omnic garrison attacked by the adults that day.
Thinking about the firepower of the omnics that day, all the players can't help but tremble.
Although they all believe that they have an infinitely bright future, they don't have the ability of that adult to bathe in the missiles before they grow up.
If the omnics with that strength come, it is right to pack up and run away as soon as possible.
The benefits of opening up the wasteland have passed, and the next wave of benefits is still unknown.
They also know that three of the players with them have become core officials of the town.
There is indeed a chance for the development of a new force, but the only opportunity has been taken up by those three people with connections. Will the rest of the people not leave and wait for death?
Players are all heartless creatures. It is difficult to keep them without long-term interests.
Moreover, they are naturally keen on exploring new things. Unless there is a clear route that can quickly improve their strength, everything is nonsense.
If it were not for the wilderness around them and there was no direction to escape, many of them would have run away early.
Gong Yan knew that these players were not without ideas. The convoy that had recently left the town with steel was their target of infiltration.
They heard that the convoy would go back and forth between a mysterious place and the town. Following the convoy to leave this town that most people saw as hopeless was what these players had planned before.
But now that there is a strong enemy in front of them, they are afraid that they no longer have that patience...
Gong Yan looked at the group of players who had already had their minds split, frowned slightly, and asked Kuang Xin on the side: "Is Xiao Dai not back yet?"
"No." Kuang Xin also frowned, but the two battle axes in his hands were eager to try.
The adults' fierce record made his blood boil. If possible, he also wanted to try that feeling.
"I'm back! Xiao Dai is back!" A player on guard reminded from a distance.
After knowing each other for a long time, the name "Xiao Dai" has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Dai Lian, wearing a black tights, walked quickly into the dim light of the town, and his eyes swept across the faces of all the players. Dai Lian calmed his breath and told the facts as calmly as possible: "I checked from a far distance - at present, the army of intelligent machines has not locked on us."
"They probably just locked on a general direction. The ones sent in the early stage were all small intelligent machines responsible for carpet searches and detecting suspicious targets. The few we strangled together before were their most basic scouts."
Dai Lian's first sentence made most of the players with uncertain mentality feel a little relieved. If it wasn't really over, no one would be reluctant to give up this Feng Shui treasure land.
Development under this force is much more exciting than their previous life in Gray Iron City.
But Dai Lian's report that followed undoubtedly cast a layer of dark clouds over their hearts again.
"The most basic scout?"
"The most basic scout is so powerful?"
The basic combat units of omnics cannot carry too many smart modules, and the only options for combat are "melee escape" and "long-range firepower".
If you are attacked by a human, you will use the spear-type weapon carried like a fork on your body to force you back by relying on your mechanical strength. If you maintain a certain distance, you will raise your machine gun and fire instantly.
As a basic unit, the movements of the Omnic Scout are certainly not very agile, but relying on the powerful machine gun in hand and the huge force that the machine can exert still cause a lot of trouble to the players.
In particular, omnics are essentially made of steel, and players with only simple handmade pistols can hardly even cause defense-breaking damage to them.
The basic unit of omnics, the Scout, often requires three or four players to deal with it together to kill them without or with minor injuries. If they encounter more and more powerful units later on, don't they all have to take a break?
The death penalty in this game is so severe that no one is willing to waste their life.
The time they have been in contact with the "Dawn" organization is still short, and they still don't feel that the organization in this game is worth their lives to protect in the game.
Dai Lian glanced at the players who were whispering. He knew the mentality of these people.
He is also a player, and he has the same idea when he has not had much contact with adults. When faced with something that cannot be done, running away is the most normal choice.
He won't use lies to retain these players, but at least... he has to let them see the hope of victory.
"I have carefully investigated and found that the structure of the omnic army is divided into three echelons. The first echelon is the investigation unit that conducts carpet searches; the second echelon is the vanguard team that conducts confirmation; and the last echelon is the real omnic. the main force.”
"There is only one real main force of omnics, and it will not be divided. It is currently in a state of silent preparation. Only when it is determined that we are the enemy, their main force will be dispatched. So in a short period of time, our real opponent, It’s actually the second-tier omnic vanguard team.”
Omnics obviously have their own unique communication methods. Whether it is the first echelon of reconnaissance units taking the initiative to report back, or all the reconnaissance units searching a certain area being destroyed, it is enough to trigger their second level of locking measures.
From what Dai Lian observed, there were already two vanguard teams in their second echelon on their way to the town.
One after the other, we met for about ten kilometers.
"...So, we actually have the possibility of resistance."
From the discovery of the omnic reconnaissance unit, to the arrival of the second echelon vanguard team and the completion of the resistance, to the third echelon of omnics locking the town and launching the final attack, there is actually a lot of time.
They do not need to have the strength to defeat the main force of the third echelon of omnics, but they only need to have the strength to defeat the second echelon of vanguard teams until the main force of the omnics launches a real attack.
The rest depends on the adults' efforts.
"...If you still fail to send help or support yourself by then, even if we abandon the town and evacuate, we won't lose everything to the organization."
The relationship between most players and the "Dawn" organization is not that deep yet, but Dai Lian and others do not want to discard the relationships they have accumulated since entering the game.
They alone will never be able to hold on until the adults come. Only with the efforts of dozens of players can they possibly defend this precarious town.
Dai Lian's thoughts were not hidden from those players.
"What good do we do? We don't have a mission. If we destroy it, it will be destroyed."
"That's right, after this place is destroyed, the adult may come back to rebuild it, and then there may be another wave of land reclamation missions. It's wonderful~"
"You are afraid of losing your impression in front of that adult, but we are not afraid. I don't want to risk my life to help you fight!"
"I'm going west, who of you will come with me!" A strong man raised his giant ax and was the first to raise his arms and shout.
So the followers gathered, "Me!"
"I!"
"And I!"
[Trigger the limited-time mission - Protect the town (regional commission)...]
"..."
"I dont go!"
"I dont go!"
"I'm not going either!"
"You are born as a person of Liming Town, and you die as a ghost of Liming Town!" The strong man picked up the giant ax in his hand and turned to look in the northeast direction, "Brothers, let's chop down those iron lumps together! "
"..."
"..."
Seeing the compatriots who had gained morale instantly, Gong Yan and Dai Lian looked at each other silently, feeling a little lucky but speechless.
Fortunately, adults are really helpful.
What is speechless is that the players are really realistic.
Morale must not be let down, Gong Yan instantly decided, "Attack! Meet the enemy!"
The experience reward in the mission depends on the completeness of the town. If the omnics are really allowed to break in, the town will inevitably suffer losses even if it is successfully defended with fortifications arranged in advance.
The preset defense line can only be activated at the last moment. If possible, it is natural to keep the enemy out!
"Lin Lude! You lead a hundred people to hold the position, and don't leave no matter what happens. If the front is unable to handle it, we will retreat."
The player can't control her, but the NPCs regard her as the "Holy Swallow".
The town's armed forces cannot rely entirely on players, and NPCs must also establish their own self-defense forces.
Selecting two hundred strong NPCs from the more than one thousand Gray Iron City losers who were more or less incomplete was already the limit of what she could do, and now... she would take another hundred people who had undergone simple training to the battlefield to truly fight against the aliens.
"Everyone else, follow me!"
...
"Ding ding ding ding!" The machine guns brought out from Gray Iron City were the strongest individual weapons that Dawn Town could have.
However, the power of the machine guns that could be carried on the battlefield by the players with limited strength today was ultimately limited, and they could only splash a spark when hitting the heavy intelligent armored vehicles.
As for other small pistols and rifles, they were even better, and they didn't even produce a spark when they were hit.
Dai Lian hooked the bowstring in his hand, hesitating whether to attack.
His psychic power was not very strong, and it was only 10/10 today.
In addition to some basic light combat units, the intelligent vanguard team also had five heavy armored vehicles and two humanoid intelligent machines with heavy firepower.
Cooperating with other players to deal with the two heavy firepower humanoid intelligent machines has consumed all his spiritual energy and part of his action reserve. The remaining action reserve can only support him to shoot two more arrows at most.
Two arrows, can they penetrate five heavy armored vehicles?
And if he completely drains himself and uses all of it on this wave of vanguards, how can he deal with the next wave of vanguards?
Not to mention that many players are now covered in wounds, and a few unlucky ones have been waiting for three days to be resurrected.
In this frontal battlefield facing a large number of alien races, Dai Lian found that personal power is really limited.
"Damn it, I'll try!"
A male player who shot a rifle for a long time and found it useless threw away the rifle in his hand.
Instead, he picked up the steel round shield and a string of grenades of his fallen companion and rushed towards one of the heavy armored vehicles.
"Da da da da!" The intelligent armored vehicle that discovered the player's abnormal movement instantly mobilized its firepower, and the two machine guns spewed out more scorching firepower at the charging soldiers.
"Cover him!" Gong Yan looked at Kuang Xin from a distance and shouted.
"Got it." Kuang Xin, holding two axes, strode forward and threw an axe at one of the machine guns that was firing.
The machine gun that was hit was instantly silenced, but the remaining machine guns still spewed out hot flames.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The player who was bravely charging forward with a round shield could only hide the round shield with his upper body and move in an S-shaped snake skin as much as possible. The few bullets that hit the round shield were still amazingly powerful. In the fierce confrontation, the player had forgotten everything.
A scarlet color descended invisibly, and the charging player only felt that his whole body instantly burst out with far more power than before.
