This Game Is Too Realistic

The afternoon sun shone on Tranquility Zone 06, and it was a sunny day as always.

While patrolling the position, I tightened my oxygen tank on my back and glanced at the gray sky above my head, thinking that it would be nice if it rained.

Although it can't get rid of the stifling musty smell, it can at least make the air look cleaner.

He is a soldier of the First Corps and joined the army just a few years ago.

Although the day before the wave broke out was getting closer and closer, he did not feel much fear in his heart, but instead had a trace of expectation.

I heard that after the wave ends, the First Corps will be restructured into the Alliance's First Army, and will be organized according to the organization of the People's Alliance era. If you can make a contribution in this battle, maybe you can become a squad leader or platoon leader some time.

Fighting against a bunch of brainless aliens is always easier than fighting against the Velantes.

At least that's the theory.

Just when he was thinking this in his mind, a long-drawn sound "beep——" suddenly came from the direction behind his head.

He turned his head subconsciously, and happened to see a huge speaker sticking out of a window on the wall of the building not far away.

To be precise, it was not one, but a bunch of them.

Dozens of loudspeakers, large and small, are dotted on the wall like ivy, facing directly in the direction of the center.

Just when he was confused about what he was doing, the speakers seemed to have finished their sound test and finally started to speak.

People's couplets floated out from the series of loudspeakers. It seemed to be "Daily Survivor"?

Kuishudong was not the only one who was stunned. Wang Dashan who was standing next to him was also stunned.

"...Why is the news suddenly released?"

"I don't know..."

We usually play the news in the canteen during meal time, but this is the first time we play it on the front line.

"What is this for?"

"Did the Logistics Department connect the wrong line?"

"Who wants to ask?"

The soldiers looked at each other and exchanged words.

At this time, their captain came over and coughed.

"Go back to your seats and stop whispering here."

Seeing the captain approaching, Kuishudong quickly gave a military salute.

"Report! There seems to be something wrong with the broadcast on the position!"

As if he had guessed that someone would mention this matter, the captain spoke briefly and comprehensively.

"Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with the broadcast. This is a new tactic developed by the shelter to deal with the wave. Our superiors specifically explained this to us during the meeting yesterday, so let them broadcast it."

The operation was codenamed "Bodyguard," as were the building and the radio station.

According to the judgment of the Army Command, the wave of this year is very likely to launch an offensive from a direction they did not expect, and the defense line originally designed based on the concentration of the spore cloud is very likely to be bypassed.

In order to regain the initiative on the battlefield, they need to use the matrix's misunderstanding of human beings to create a false weakness in the middle of the left defense line as a bait.

Although he didn't know how the speakers were used as bait, after all, it was the residents of the shelter who came up with the idea, so he still believed it.

If the plan goes well, the main force of the slime mold will be contained on the 06 defense line, and the alliance can use its troops to attack the wave that penetrates deep into our side.

Several soldiers looked at each other with confusion written on their faces. Even the veterans who had come down from the battlefield in Luoxia Province had the same look on their faces, as if they had never seen the world before.

New...tactics?

What kind of tactic is this?

…

The Survivor Daily showed the news for half an hour, and the newspaper read for another half an hour, but soon there was nothing left to put.

Standing next to the radio station, a group of players who were not prepared started to worry.

Looking back at everyone behind him, Luo Yu scratched the back of his head.

"This...what's next?"

Everyone looked at each other and made suggestions to stop the fight.

"Weather forecast?"

WC really has mosquitoes rolling their eyes.

"We don't even have weather satellites, so the forecast is useless... Do you want to play it on a loop?"

Fang Chang shook his head.

"It's best not to. If it's a human-linked language, it's easy to see flaws... Hey, I almost forgot, we can broadcast things from reality!"

Lao Bai scratched the back of his head and suggested, "Then... broadcast the real-life news broadcast?"

Luo Yu's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea."

Fang Chang coughed lightly.

"You guys should be more open-minded. It doesn't have to be news. You can play cross talk skits or music... as long as it's something that Thea can't analyze and can't find [regular] content."

Mole scratched the back of his head and felt that this plan was not very reliable, and he couldn't think of a better way.

"Then it will treat this place as our mother's nest? Isn't it too simple..."

Fang Chang shook his head and said.

"Of course this alone is not enough. We need to adjust the deployment of troops when the BGM sounds, or launch a feint attack on the area outside the defense line... These are actually not difficult. As long as we make it believe that we have found a pattern, our battle will be successful. ”

Finally understanding this sentence, he grinned and picked up the rifle that had been put aside.

"Understood, just leave the feint to our Death Corps!"

The mosquito also laughed.

"Leave the singing to me! I'm good at this job!"

Seeing this guy showing off, Luo Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Go away, you don't send away the friendly troops with your duck voice."

Ye Shi: "Hahahaha!"

The room was filled with a happy atmosphere. Even Guangfeng, who had no expression, could not help but raise the corners of his mouth. Only the offended Mosquito had an unhappy expression on his face.

"Tch, you look down on me, Tian Lai Yin, right? I have to show you my skills!"

After saying that, Mosquito reached out and grabbed the microphone that was placed on the radio station. Luoyu didn't stop him when he saw this, and even changed the recording and broadcast of the radio station for him with a smile.

‘Huh? ’

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, this guy wants to show off his skills so much, then let him show off his skills!"

The scene was quiet for a while.

Everyone is waiting for Brother Mosquito to speak.

After brewing his emotions for a moment, Mosquito coughed and cleared his throat vigorously.

"Ahem!"

Now that the mood is brewing, it's time to start singing.

However, something embarrassing happened.

Although he decided to show off his skills, he had no idea what to sing.

But I already had the microphone in my hand, and pairs of eyes were looking at me again. I really couldn't get off the stage if I didn't sing something.

Facing the quiet room, Mosquito looked embarrassed and dug his toes into the ground.

It wasn't until just now that he remembered that this radio station was not dealing with a dozen people, but hundreds of thousands.

With the power of the row of speakers outside, even the people in Boulder City could hear him cough!

It doesn't matter what the NPC thinks.

But the key is that there must be some guy who records his singing voice and puts it online.

If this is revealed, how can you still brag?

Sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind and he had an idea.

What should I do if I’m embarrassed?

Just make it more awkward!

"Here's a song for you, my favorite song by the singer!"

Taking a deep breath, the speaker raised his hand like a skilled carpenter raising the saw blade resting on the violin.

"Just because——"

Before his singing voice could fully open up, and just two words popped out of his mouth, he was pushed down by people on the side and snatched away the microphone.

"Okay, okay, I believe you can sing!"

"Forget it Mosquito! Brother Mosquito!"

"I beg you to stop singing!"

Seeing several powerful beasts taking away his microphone and holding him outside the door, mosquitoes kept howling.

"Let me go! I can still sing! Let me finish singing!"

Looking at the figure disappearing outside the door, Fang Changmo quietly withdrew his gaze and coughed lightly.

"...Let's play some normal music."

Luo Yu nodded with deep understanding.

"+1."

…

After a whole afternoon of messing around, Battlefield Radio, codenamed "Bodyguard", finally got on the right track.

In fact, it is said to be a battlefield radio station, but this thing has actually become a song-demanding station among the gamers.

The song requesting process is simple.

Leave a message in the corresponding post on the official website, and you can add your favorite songs to the playlist.

Now it is convenient to log in to the official website. There is no need to go offline. Just open the VM within the signal coverage. It is not difficult to synchronize real-life data with the game. It can also be done with a VM.

In the beginning, it was relatively normal for the radio station to play songs.

There are children who like "The Lonely Warrior", and there are also old uncles and aunts who like to listen to "Reverse Battle".

There are also some popular BGMs from certain music genres, such as Berlin Air Defense Tower and I Played with Mud in the Northeast.

But two days passed, and most of the popular songs were played once. Everyone was almost tired of listening to them, and they really couldn't think of anything new.

In fact, except for Fang Chang and Brother Quanshui, who are still acting seriously, most players have almost forgotten what the bodyguard operation is about.

So some weird guys came out and stuffed some weird stuff into the playlist.

Such as "My Little Pony".

Another example is "i got smoke".

One second the radio station was shouting Nignigg, and the next second it was smoking Rikke.

Crouching behind the machine gun, the players held their stomachs and laughed out loud. They followed the rhythm of the music and padded outside to go out to work. The expressions on their faces almost stopped.

The NPCs listened to it with great interest. The key was that they couldn't understand the lyrics. They only thought it had a rhythm, and even hummed along with the brisk beat.

The "Bodyguard" operation has only been started for three days, and it is not yet clear that this deception operation is effective.

However, this battlefield radio station called Bodyguard was completely ruined.

Not only are Fang Chang, Lao Bai, Quan Shui, Mole, and Bian Bian unable to survive, but Chu Guang is also in trouble.

His character in the game is an NPC. Although it is claimed to be an artificial intelligence that is close to reality, if you can even understand the jokes in the real world, this "real" is a bit unspeakable.

It’s not uncommon for real people to pretend to be AIs and interact with players in some game companies that use leeks as their selling point. If the players misunderstand that they and the dog planner Aguang are the same person, it will ultimately affect the sense of immersion. .

In the past few days, he had no intention of showing his face in front of the players, just because he was afraid that his performance would not be good and he would suddenly be unable to hold back his laughter.

Just when Chu Guang and a group of senior players were gradually losing confidence in the "bodyguard" operation, the coveted eyes lurking outside the defense zone finally began to move...

…

Deep in the dark underground tunnel, in a scarlet palace covered with fungi, Thea, standing in the center of the fungus, opened her abstract eyes.

"I found their nest."

The spores floating around it slowly fluctuated, sending this message to the mother who wrapped it.

However, the fluctuations in response to it were unexpectedly violent, as if they heard something unbelievable.

"Their mother's nest?! Those organisms don't have a mother's nest. They are just a bunch of dirty, ugly, messed-up guys!"

Thea thought for a while and conveyed her opinion in a positive manner.

"No, they do exist. Do you remember the prey I caught last time? It was an empty shell, all three of them. Their heads were like a piece of white paper."

Upon hearing this, the Brood fell into a brief silence and did not directly refute.

This is contrary to the common sense he knows, but it is not completely impossible.

After all, a similar situation had happened once before.

And just in the last wave!

The humans who suddenly appeared in the north seemed to be different from the humans who lived in the wall. There were many strange things about them that he had never seen before.

He knew that these humans were trying to study Him, and even built a huge wall for this purpose, and rested on this ruins for countless generations...

There was a hint of alarm in His mood.

He didn't know where humankind's research had progressed. If they also evolved a unified consciousness, it would undoubtedly be a huge threat to Him.

When her mother didn't answer, Thea continued to convey her findings in a positive tone.

"There is something controlling their emotions, and I sensed his presence. Every time he makes a sound, his fruiting bodies will feel joyful emotions from the bottom of their hearts... I think that is their mother nest, And his voice is their spore."

It felt all too familiar.

It's just like it was when it was next to its mother!

"...If we can assimilate their brood, analyze it, understand it, and even become it...we can control everything about them and make their experience available to us."

There is no doubt that human beings are physically weak. Except for a few individuals with extraordinary strength, most individuals need to use tools to strengthen themselves.

But this is what makes them unusual.

He could use their tools, an ability he had mastered long ago.

However, it is beyond His ability to continuously produce those tools like humans.

It is only a matter of time before it takes over the entire planet. However, if you want to spread the seeds to more distant worlds, He said that what needs to be done is not just to digest them, but to completely digest their knowledge and even lower-level thoughts and ideas. change.

After pondering for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"You're the smartest of all my children, so maybe that's a great discovery."

At least it's worth a try.

After receiving her mother's approval, Thea felt physically and mentally happy, and the tentacles under her skirt were swinging happily.

"I have a better idea, more perfect than the previous plan to bypass them."

"The people in the wall and the people in the north have united together. We just need to put pressure on the wall and contain the power of humans in the north-"

"Then as long as we launch a surprise attack, we can completely occupy their nest!"

…

Outside Boulder City.

At the position on the edge of the West Third Ring Road, Joey, wearing power armor, was staring intently at the projection in the helmet's eyepiece.

According to the footage captured by the drone, tens of thousands of fruiting bodies are emerging from the entrances of various subway stations and building ruins within the second to third ring lines, and are consciously rushing towards the direction of Boulder City.

Looking at the raging wave, Joey's brows were filled with deep solemnity.

The adjutant standing next to him looked even more pale and couldn't help but swallow.

"Damn...why are there so many?"

After the spore concentration in the air exceeded the critical value, the wave finally broke out.

It's just that the quantity and quality completely exceeded the expectations of the officers of the militia group.

According to past experience, there are tens of thousands of fruiting bodies that can be seen, and the actual number dispatched is probably more than 10 times!

What's more concerning is not the quantity.

In addition to cannon fodder such as gnawers, there are also a large number of fruiting bodies with strong individual combat capabilities such as butchers and tyrants, as well as a small number of extremely dangerous evolved bodies.

Including the three-story-tall behemoth.

Including fluttering flying aliens.

There are five types of these monsters, and all of them look like gods and evil spirits.

These guys seemed to have completely forgotten that there was Dawn City to the north, and they all rushed towards Boulder City.

After discovering the conscious gathering of slime mold fruiting bodies, Joey did not hesitate and immediately mobilized five thousand-man teams of the militia and transferred the 5,000-man punishment battalion to the front line.

At the same time, he ordered the P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft on standby on the tarmac to take off immediately, and launched the first round of air strikes on the waves on the Qinggan River.

Two plasma plumes passed through the gray mist-filled sky, throwing down two black shadows and smashing towards the neighborhood densely packed with fruiting bodies.

Orange-red flames shot up into the sky, engulfing the swarms of gnawers.

However, something strange happened.

The flame that was supposed to be burning was like a basin of cold water poured on it. After swallowing up half the street of gnawers, it did not burn more and more. Instead, the fire became weaker and weaker, and finally left a place completely burned. corpses and viscous oily objects.

If these nutrients cannot be completely burned, the slime molds will reuse them.

On the surface, they are fighting against the slime molds, but in essence, they are fighting against the nutrients dominated by the mother nest.

The slime mold will continuously recover organic matter from the battlefield and bring it back to the incubation room, where it will be re-converted into combat units according to a certain ratio.

And this is also the most troublesome part of the wave.

Joey frowned.

It seems that the analysis of the Alliance Biological Research Institute is correct. The spore cloud produced by a wave can effectively prevent the burning of conventional fuels.

He could clearly see through the drone's lens that when the flame ignited, the gray-green mist surged toward the burning flame as if it had self-awareness.

The wave that was hit by the air only stagnated for a moment, and then continued to move toward the direction of Boulder City.

Some gnawers pounced on the burnt corpses, formed a circle on the ground, and devoured them without wasting any nutrients.

Of course, those noble evolved bodies looked down upon these skinny pitiful creatures, and just looked at the sky with falling flames and laughed coldly.

They seemed to know where the attack was coming from, and that someone must be there watching them.

But it doesn’t matter——

Under His will, all resistance is in vain!

All carbon-based creatures will be turned into nutrients that promote their prosperity!

The front line of the wave was only 1 mile away from the defense line of Boulder City.

If this trend continues, in another hour at most, the first line of defense of the punishment camp will collide with these slime molds.

The adjutant standing next to Joey clenched his fists and finally couldn't help but say something.

"The only option is to use nuclear weapons!"

It's not that he feels sorry for those criminals, he doesn't care at all about the life and death of those trash.

He simply didn't think that those bullies could hold off the surging waves with a few machine guns and rifles without the support of incendiary bombs.

Before Joey could speak, the staff officer of the militia group interrupted the adjutant.

"No! Radioactive substances will speed up the evolution of slime mold! We have proven before that using nuclear weapons against waves will only make the incoming waves more ferocious!"

The adjutant clenched his fists and couldn't help but say.

"Incendiary bombs don't work, and neither do nuclear weapons... Do you expect to rely on more than 5,000 cannon fodder and conventional artillery to clean up that garbage?"

Joey looked solemn.

"I have requested reinforcements from Alliance Army Command and they have promised to send more men to help us."

The adjutant frowned.

"It's strange, why hasn't the alliance been attacked, but we have been targeted by the wave? Could it be that the alliance's biological research institute has discovered some way to make the wave ignore them-"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by an angry rebuttal.

"Shut up!"

Looking at the stunned adjutant, Joey stretched out his hand and grabbed his collar, stared into his eyes and spoke word by word.

"What I need is for you to give professional advice instead of talking unfounded nonsense here! No one can escape the wave unless it is wiped out. I have seen that man. Maybe I don't know him well enough. I'm sure he's not the idiot you say!"

The adjutant nodded cautiously.

"clear……"

"When you understand, take action!" Joey loosened his grip on his collar. "The front line needs heavy equipment. I need you to immediately transfer a batch of heavy machine guns and mortars from your inventory to send them over!"

The adjutant took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, stood at attention and performed a military salute.

"yes!"

…

News of the attack on Boulder City quickly spread to the Alliance's positions.

Fang Chang, who was still guarding the radio station, couldn't help but frowned as he looked at the markings on the map. His originally confident expression also showed a slight wavering.

"The plan failed?"

"No...it's the opposite!"

Quan Shui clenched his fists that were resting on the map. Quan Shui, who was standing next to him, was full of excitement and gave a completely different opinion than him.

His view is exactly the opposite.

If a few minutes ago, he had doubts about the details of the "Bodyguard" plan, now he was almost certain that their plan had come true!

This Thea has some calculations!

It's just that this level of calculation is still too "simple", so that it seems to be a bit cover-up.

If it were him, he would allocate one-fifth or one-fourth of his troops, put the pressure on the alliance, and patiently play out the script of the defeat.

And what it is doing now is tantamount to telling them - I have noticed you, but I am pretending not to see you.

It’s obvious!

The Boulder City side was just a feint attack, and the power of the wave was probably already lurking under the thick fog in the northern suburbs, ready to be launched at any time.

Fang Chang also came to his senses at this time. After being stunned for a moment, his solemn expression gradually relaxed into a smile.

"so it is."

Tu guy.

This mother body actually started acting with them.

This was something he didn't expect.

Just when Fang Chang came to his senses, Quan Shui had already grabbed the walkie-talkie on the table.

"Our enemies have taken the bait! Yan Yan, take your brothers and immediately move toward the west district of Qingquan City for reinforcements... Be careful not to move too fast, and be ready to turn around at any time! Wait for my news!"

The answer from Edge of Water quickly came over the communication frequency.

"receive!"

After hanging up Brother Bian's communication, Quan Shui then transferred the communication to the front line of Defense Zone 06 and called out energetically.

"Inform the brothers on the battlefield and ask them to cheer up!"

"The prey is ready to move, and a tough battle is coming!"
