The other person's hand was withdrawn in one touch, and Jack couldn't figure out whether he was guarding himself or whether he was not used to such friendly gestures.
"That's really bad." Jack ignored why he was separated from his companions in such a place and the identity of the so-called passenger. "You saved us. If there is anything you can do to help..."
"I'm not familiar with this area, maybe you can tell me."
Jack didn't expect that the request made by the other party was actually this. In a moment of confusion, Coulomb had already said, "What was the West Coast called here before? Anyway, we can't tell based on the geographical structure before the war. We only know that few people come here."
Wasteland." Coulomb walked to the empty window and looked at it for a moment, then pointed to a convenient road, "About a kilometer straight from here is our settlement. Apart from our settlement, there is nothing else for more than 100 kilometers around here.
Who are they, yes, maybe some bums who are trying to fight our settlement."
"Vagrant?"
"Oh, we have been in the settlement for a long time. I don't know what other people call them. In short, they are guys who do nothing and live by killing people and robbing food. I heard that they will eat when there is not enough food.
Human flesh.”
When Coulomb said this, a heavy expression of disgust appeared on his face.
Qiu Yu stopped delving into the topic of homeless people, "You said this is a wasteland where no one comes. Why would you establish a settlement here? And I don't think this is a wasteland."
When talking about this topic, Coulomb turned his attention to Jack. On these issues, Jack, who was somewhat educated, could speak more clearly than himself.
Qiu Yu's ignorance made Jack bring back the possibility that he had just ruled out that he came from a high-level shelter. "It's said that this is a wasteland because it was affected by the war. The concentration of nuclear radiation has always been relatively high. Basically there is nothing."
Plants can grow. In places further south, some people have begun to grow edible food. But precisely because food can be grown on the land in the south, the competition for survival there is quite fierce. Our settlements were originally much closer than they are now.
In the south, we were forced to move out because of our weak strength. In addition to this, another point is that we are a few scientists who came out of ordinary shelters in the settlement. They discovered from the map before the war that there is a
Scientific research base, according to them, if previous science and technology can be discovered here, it will be possible to restore the earth to its former state..."
The more Qiu Yu listened, the more frightened he became. Although he had roughly guessed some things when he entered this game, but now when he gets exactly the same information as he guessed from other people's mouths, he feels as if his head has been immersed in zero degrees.
Normal in ice water.
Qiuyu just entered this game more than ten minutes ago. Because when entering the two consecutive games, everyone stayed together, so under the influence of inertial thinking, Qiuyu also believed that they would still be together this time.
But when the scenery in front of him changed, he was the only one left in the room. The feeling of loneliness and helplessness made him, who once thought he had become strong, almost collapse.
However, with Qiu Yu's comprehensive thinking, it is completely impossible to say that he did not expect this situation at all.
After accepting the supervisor's suggestion and letting everyone exchange a large bag of food, water, medical supplies, wilderness survival supplies, computers and several weapons before 2020, they exchanged another one that was the same as Ordoño.
A silver assault rifle. In Qiuyu's judgment, the weapon selected by weapons experts like Ordoño must be the most cost-effective. In case of being alone, this weapon should be the first choice for self-rescue. Since it has been
Taking into account the situation of being left alone, Qiu Yu simply asked everyone to redeem a 2044 version of a watch-type communicator worth two survival points. It has an effective range of 120 kilometers and can work continuously for nearly a year. There are other better communicators as well.
, but this is Qiuyu's consideration after considering various situations. Even in his opinion, 120 kilometers is enough. Anyway, if the rules of the game deliberately separate everyone, even if they can be contacted all over the earth,
Communicators will always encounter various problems that cannot function properly.
But after entering the game and finding out that he was actually alone, Qiu Yu still called anxiously, but he didn't get any response for a long time.
Fortunately, fate favored him, and two strange-looking people ran into the downstairs of his room. This allowed Qiu Yu, who had some confidence in his heart, to analyze the current situation calmly.
In the last game, Qiu Yu had already noticed some things. The hotel with old decoration, the lobby with a weird combination of future and retro, and the strange behavior of the person he pulled for questioning.
Now, coupled with this large group of abandoned buildings whose main parts are intact, it is already certain that this is the earth, but it is not the earth that I am familiar with... at least it is unfamiliar in terms of time.
Originally, I had some doubts about getting a chance to counterattack after defending against an attack by an offensive civilization - facing an offensive civilization with all its soldiers, the defensive civilization only had a few game participants and one planet without a leader.
Why should a brainless passer-by attack? The answer to this point can now be figured out.
Overall, the two civilizations in the game are of equal strength. Therefore, facing the quantitative advantage of the offensive civilization having all the names and soldiers, the defensive civilization takes the quality route.
After successfully defending against the offensive civilization, the defensive civilization will gain a qualitative advantage. Just like after the earth successfully defended against the attack of the lizard people, it immediately improved its technology for 30 years. If we launch a counterattack at this time
, then the two civilizations that were just judged to be of equal strength will instantly have an overwhelming technological advantage due to the 30-point civilization improvement on the earth. After all, just looking at the history of the earth, you will understand that the difference of 30 years is already a huge difference.
A very scary distance.
But from this point of view alone, it seems that once the defensive civilization wins one victory, it will become a disaster that is enough to end the offensive civilization. This is unfair to the 50% winning rate, so there is a solution to this
A balancing act…
When Qiu Yu still lacked conclusive evidence for his inference, with a sound that made his teeth sore, the evidence he needed poured out from all directions. They were huge rats whose size made Qiu Yu confused about distance.
.
Whether it was due to the need for information collection or personal emotions, Qiu Yu decided to save the following two people.
The first time he used a gun to kill other creatures made Qiu Yu's long-lost stomach churning feeling reappear. In order not to let the rescued people see his fragile appearance, he quickly walked away after dropping the rope. And all the time
Shaking the gun in front of the two of them was not because he was pretending to be mysterious. It was simply because he did not expect that the recoil of this weapon, which Ordoño used so smoothly, would be so strong. The rate of fire had been lowered.
The attack only took a few seconds to make me feel like my hand was about to dislocate. If it was me before the exchange for enhancement, my arm might have been broken off after a few shots.
This made Qiu Yu realize that he was too fragile, but compared to the fragile body that he had prepared mentally for a long time, something confirmed by Jack made Qiu Yu find it more difficult to accept.
After Jack finished a long introduction, Qiu Yu used all his strength to speak, "What year is it now? What kind of war are you talking about?"
Jack was already used to Qiu Yu's question, but Qiu Yu's suddenly pale face made him feel a little uneasy. "Using the year counting standard before the war, it is now 2082. As for that war... it happened suddenly.
Caused by the attack of aliens on the earth, humans saw that they could not win, so they detonated nuclear bombs on the earth at the same time. But even this could not kill all the aliens... The nuclear bomb explosion plus the aliens
They continued to kill humans for seven consecutive days, and more than 95% of humans died. Fortunately, on the eighth day, they suddenly stopped attacking humans. On the eleventh day, just like when they came, they suddenly
Disappear from the earth..."
"This is wrong..."
Qiu Yu's muttering made Jack think that he was saying that what he said about the war was wrong, so he raised his right hand as if swearing, "What I'm talking about is definitely the most original memory passed down from generation to generation. If we say that human beings have forgotten
We have lost sight of science and forgotten morality, but we will never forget the reasons for all the current situations, and we will never be wrong.”
"is that so……"
Qiuyu recalled the supervisor's initial explanation of the rules of the game. The supervisor did say that the game space is a copy of the real space. He also said that no matter how many times real people die in the copy space, it will not affect them.
The death of people in the real space... in the game does not affect the real world. This has been confirmed. The problem is that they do not need to die many times. As long as they die once, it will have an irreversible impact on the game space.
They had obviously considered many possibilities to enter, but the supervisor said, "No matter how many times they die in the copy space, nothing will happen to them in reality. In the next war, they will still be copied into a game character."
" is misleading. But there is no need for supervisors to deceive themselves on this point, unless there is something else they do not know about the matter. Or, the supervisors did not lie in this sentence, but it is the best way to put it.
The situation is included in the description, but to get the best situation, you must pay a corresponding price.
In short, now the game balance between defensive civilization and offensive civilization has been thoroughly understood...
