My Players Keep Grinding in the Post-Apocalyptic World

Chapter 253: The origins of the frontline battlefield

Views:

Xufeng's not-so-big jeep was carrying 21 players, but it was still driving steadily.

This is a modified vehicle that can withstand higher pressures and traverse more complex terrain.

The road condition to the Barrier Town is not very good and it will take a while to drive.

On the way, the players started chatting.

Magic Conch: "Actually, I have a question I've always wanted to ask. What type of dungeon is the frontline battlefield in this game? How many monsters are there? Can they be resurrected, or do they disappear after being spawned like the base?"

You force me: "Correction, there are endless void spirits in the pollution farm over there in the base~"

Conch: "Bullshit, that's not impossible. When we first started clearing, the density of the Void Spirits was much higher than it is now, and it has been gradually decreasing... I estimate that it won't be long before it is exhausted."

Nobody: "Oh, I see. Fortunately, we changed routes in advance. Otherwise, we would have leveled up more slowly if we had to compete with them for those monsters."

As the few people were talking, Xufeng shook his head.

"In fact, based on the information I have so far, the frontline battlefield is not a dungeon... but a world plot. This is likely the main plot of the game."

Conch: "Oh? How do you say that?"

Xufeng: "Because this frontline battlefield... is very large, much larger than the world map of any game I know of."

"Don't you wonder... who are these people in the Human Alliance base fighting day and night?"

"An old soldier told me a lot. It turns out that there are no zombies in this world. Zombies are actually called... aliens."

After listening to Xufeng's explanation, all the players roughly understood what he meant by the front-line battlefield being the world plot.

The front battlefield does not refer to a fixed place.

Rather, it refers to the line of defense that humans build to guard against those inhuman monsters. It will advance and shrink with the changes in history. In history, there have been great victories that spanned thousands of miles, as well as major defeats that resulted in the capture of dozens of cities.

Humans of different races, heritages, and places jointly guard the human race's defense line and keep the huge monsters out of the front battlefield.

Monsters include not only zombies, but also void spirits, Zerg, robots, Wendigo demons, parasitic monsters... All creatures that humans can or cannot imagine have appeared.

Some are short-lived, while others attack humans for a long time.

For example, creatures like zombies are said to have appeared hundreds of years ago and are an important reason for the great reduction in the number of humans in this world. In the early days, humans had not yet found a way to deal with the zombie virus. After ordinary humans were infected with the zombie virus, they would attack everywhere and cause more humans to be infected. If one is not under control, the entire city will be reduced to ruins.

It is said that many of the remaining radioactive city ruins are left behind by the nuclear attack on the zombie city.

In the Human Alliance, the two major inheritances of soldiers and undead are systems that have evolved from years of fighting against the zombie race. They have unique advantages in dealing with zombies, and the invasion of zombies has always been the responsibility of the top leaders of these two professions.

Xufeng joined the 'Yinglong Military Base' under the inheritance of soldiers and learned this information.

The magic conch had an expression that said, "I see."

"This is the story of the world background. The production team is really thoughtful. A grinding game has aroused my sense of racial honor. At this moment, it is hard not to shout out that classic line..."

You force me: "Whoever offends our people will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

The leader of Jianqi Sect: "It tastes just right!"

Xufeng: "..."

"Ahem, that's the background story in the game. As for where these monsters came from, do they refer to aliens? Or something else... I'm not sure."

"You say, this world is so magnificent, what can we do to make it more meaningful?"

Conch: "I plan to go to the battlefield to pick up some materials later."

Xufeng: "No, you misunderstood me. I mean... what kind of meaning does the planner want us to experience through such a plot?"

Conch: "Uh... pick up some corpses and bring them back to decompose them."

Xufeng: "..."

After an hour of bumpy ride, the jeep finally arrived at the town of Rampart.

This is an extremely majestic section of city wall, but a big hole was blown in the middle. There is a small town below the stairs of the city wall. It is extremely quiet and it seems that no one has been here for a long time.

Xufeng drew his sword and raised his shield.

"Everyone be careful. Conch, come with me and clean up the town first."

20 players of level 5 hid in a jeep. Two of them entered the town and killed seven zombies that were not yet dead.

"Okay, it's safe, everyone come down."

Conch inspected the town and got a general idea of the situation.

This is a small town built on the basis of a city wall. It seemed to be a defensive checkpoint in the past. There were also some defensive facilities arranged by humans. Relying on the city wall, it can play a good defensive role. As a line of defense to block zombies, it can be said to be extremely solid.

But the big hole in the city wall directly destroyed this section of the defense line. The zombies could rush in through the hole. Looking at some rotten human corpses on the ground, they were probably left behind after the garrison was attacked.

Xufeng explained: "This used to be a solid defense line. Then one day, it was attacked by a red-haired zombie. Its strength... was equivalent to that of a fourth-order human evolver. It destroyed this place. The zombies rushed in from the cave, and the garrison was completely defeated and lost..."

"Later, our base sent people to take it back, but they were beaten back by the zombies again... Because the city wall here was too damaged, the defense is far less than before, so we have been in a tug of war with the zombies. Fortunately, the red-haired zombie has been sanctioned by the four fourth-level masters sent by the Human Alliance Headquarters, so we don't have to worry about its attack."

"If you build a defensive base here, it should save the Human Alliance a lot of trouble, but you will have to face the zombie attacks head-on."

"But if we can hold on... this is a great place to gain experience. It's close to other battlefields where battles are often fought, so we can join the battles at any time to gain experience. The benefits are very high!"

High risk, high reward.

The magic conch said without hesitation: "That's it! We brought the blueprint for the energy launch column given by the lord. As long as there are enough materials, the nano-engineer robots will help me build enough defense towers. Whoever enters this cave will die!"

"And I believe... as long as we build a communication base station here, with a point to store experience and a resurrection point, other players will come here soon."

"Everyone, let's make this the largest sub-base!"

Everyone: “Great!”

Xufeng was also encouraged: "Once you have established a communication base station, our smart watches should be able to communicate. If there is anything here, just call me and I will bring people to support you."

Conch: "Okay! Let's go pick up some materials first."

Building a communication base station requires a large amount of basic building materials, including glass, plastic, rubber, iron and electronic components.

Electronic components take up little space, and the 21 people in Hai Luo's team each brought 10 pieces, for a total of 210 electronic components, which is more than enough for them to build the basic equipment.

“Pick up the trash!”

Countless battles take place on the front lines every day, destroying a large number of temporary defense lines built by humans and the zombies' nests.

There were a variety of materials, enough for them to collect the required amount for building the base.

The 20 players excitedly went out to pick up trash, and Xufeng also said goodbye.

"I should report back to the Dragon Base. You guys should develop here for a few days. Once the base station is built, we will keep in touch."

"OK!"

Before leaving, Hai Luo took out 20 bottles of life potions and 100 rounds of ice and fire ammunition from his bag and gave them to Xu Feng.

I'll have to ask him to take good care of me here in the future.

Xufeng drove a jeep out of the town of Bastion and rushed back to Yinglong Base to report. He had just completed a big mission and killed two white-haired zombies... but he hadn't been rewarded yet.

After years of fighting, the military base inherited by the soldiers of the Human Alliance has formed a mature system in which military merit is the condition for promotion. As long as one can help humans kill zombies, one can be promoted to a higher rank.

There is no such thing as seniority, officialdom games, and suppression by villains!

The soldiers have been able to fight zombies for so many years because of their real skills, iron will and steel body!

"My achievements this time... should be enough to get me promoted to company commander, right?"

When I returned to Yinglong Military Base and showed my military achievements, my superiors were very happy!

Xufeng was naturally promoted to company commander and led the troops to expand from 30 people to 100 people.

Among them, 69 are new recruits assigned to him by the military, and he can select one person himself who is a descendant of the major human alliances to come to the battlefield to support him.

"Xiao Xu, there are still three people in the latest batch that came to our base who have not yet been assigned to a troop. They are Nightblade, Mystic, and Arcane. They are all second-level evolvers. You can choose one."

Xufeng also has some knowledge about the major inherited professions of the Human Alliance.

In addition to the information available on the official website, he also consulted his superiors and learned a lot of information that was not available at many bases. If it weren't for the fact that things on the battlefield were so busy and he didn't have enough time to rest, he would definitely write a detailed intelligence report and put it on the official website.

"Sir, can I see them first?"

"It's in Deputy Chief of Staff Yang's office. Go ahead."

Xufeng came to the office and after meeting with several people, he had a general understanding of their respective abilities.

"The second-level evolution of Night Blade... double dagger assassination style, which is different from my usual mission direction and is more suitable for special missions, so this one is ruled out first."

"Arcane is good at creating large-scale energy storms and has a special skill of mirror reflection to protect people. He is a good assistant and is available for selection."

'Mysterious... Interesting, it turns out that the skill of summoning crows can also be expanded to group healing. Combined with her own Dregg's Blood, my soldiers' casualties will be greatly reduced, and she can also heal me all the time. And... this lady's black stockings are awesome.'

In the end, he chose someone with a mysterious heritage as the foreign aid for his team. It didn't matter whether he wore black stockings or not, he just liked milk.

"Hello, my name is Xufeng. Thank you for your help in the next three months."

The royal sister spread her hands: "Just call me Sister Si Si, let me make it clear that my skills determine that I will not go forward to fight. You have to protect me. I am only responsible for giving you energy to heal your injuries. Other things like cooking and cleaning are up to you. After all, I am a girl."

Xufeng felt a little uncomfortable, but when she thought that she really didn't have any fighting skills, she felt relieved.

"Okay, don't worry Sister Sisi, before I can attack you, I have to step over our dead bodies."

"Well, that's right, Xiaoxu."

Xufeng: "Hehehe~ By the way, Sister Sisi, can you show me how you treated your crow?"

Sisi waved her hand: "You'll know when you go on the mission. Okay, I'm going to take a nap. It's so cold... I really shouldn't go out. Don't call me if it's not necessary."

Xufeng: "Okay...Okay."

Although the opponent was a bit pretentious, at least Xufeng had an extra nurse in his team, and his team became much stronger. In the future, injured teammates could be rescued on the spot.

The previous incidents where teammates did not have time to return for treatment and turned into zombies right in front of him would not have happened.

“It’s a game, but... the comradery in this game is so real. It feels like I’m really fighting side by side with others.”

After Xufeng expressed his feelings, he turned around and went back to rest.

He was still muttering, "I'll find a chance to get a blank skill stamp and put it on her, so I can steal her skills."

Crows are summoned creatures that appear frequently in the Scourge Base. They share high-altitude vision and can also launch powerful electric ball attacks. Apart from being a little fragile, they have almost no disadvantages.

What if the advanced crow learns healing skills

It is truly an all-round summon that can both attack and heal.

"Even if it's for the sake of the base, we have to get this skill."

...

Red City Disaster Base.

Cheng Shaofeng couldn't see any information from the battlefield on the map.

Even if a communication base station was established, he would not be able to connect to the signal over there. Magic Conch and the others could only create a local area network for themselves.

"Giving them so much supplies, I hope it can help them gain a foothold on the battlefield."

The main body took advantage of the time when it was awake to deal with a few things, and then fell asleep again.

His consciousness shifted and returned to Shadow Guard 2 who was standing at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

Shadow Guard 2 is currently also possessed by a clone. Because Shadow Guard needs to leave the body to exert its full combat power, this clone can still only choose summoning and aura skills. Cheng Shaofeng chose a barbarian for him to summon a void demon who can carry some things.

This body is only level 5, so there is not much time to level it up.

"Advance into the snowy mountains. They are all powerful creatures. I should be able to level up a few levels."

Boom!

Seven large motorcycles left solid marks on the snow and quickly approached Shadow Guard 2 with a roar.

Lin Tang: "Wuhu~ I love the art of this game! What a magnificent snow-capped mountain! I want to howl! Woo la la la~"

Cheng Shaofeng: "... a classic, you hear the voice before you see the person."

The members of the Peak Team have arrived.

The fox demon put down the motorcycle, ran two quick steps, knelt on one knee, slid out a graceful arc, stopped in front of Cheng Shaofeng, and saluted with his chest.

"Soldier Ghost-faced Demon Fox is here with his teammates to complete the mission. Lord, please give us your instructions!"

Looking at the clearly visible knee mark, the other six teammates were all upset.

Go to the dock to get some fries: "Is this... the giant fox demon known as the Iron-Boned Demon in the forum?"

The corner of the dog's mouth twitched slightly: "Haha~ You just got here, you'll get used to it."

Cheng Shaofeng didn't bother to be polite with them and said directly:

"Soldiers, we have only two goals in entering the snowy mountains: one, to find a safe place to establish a sub-base, and two, to search for possible remains of a shrine."
