Chapter 674: Chapter 641: The Final 1 Minute and 30 Seconds!
Izumo yers were in a terrible mood.
From the beginning of the game till now, there had never been a smooth time.
First, the fighter jets had no engines, then the bombers had no bombs, and finally, they were attacked by two strong opponents joining forces.
The mobility of the Air Force was not utilized at all.
Even now, they had to consider cutting their losses to survive!
Yes, if they didn’t find a way to shake off their pursuers soon, they would end up like Pnd.
But yers were hot-blooded and wouldn’t easily give up a quarter or even a third of their forces by being chased. It wasn’t a decision they could make lightly.
At this moment, the System announcement appeared again-
[T3 War Zone-Java, has withdrawn from the battlefield.]
Due to Suharto’s previous clever tactics, Cloud Dream hadn’t established a Server Center in Java, nor did they have any dedicated partners.<div>
Java yers had grown into a sizable yer group through cross-borderworking, and sessfully entered the [Peak War].
But this loose nation held together by religion, seemed to be making little progress in the virtual world.
After identally running into Swiss yers, Java yers, being the world’s fourth most populous country, thought highly of themselves and looked down on Switzend, a small country “only good at making watches”, and started a fight without hesitation.
As a result… they copsed at the first touch!
Java yers were scattered by Swiss yers after just one charge.
After that, they were chased and killed like sheep until their casualties reached over 80% and were eliminated.
It was really troublesome to kill more than 80% of a group of thousands of yers…
Java’s exit finally gave Izumo yers the determination to act.
“Leave 200 people to cover us, the rest head south! All the nes that can fly, take off! Don’t leave a single one!”
There was no other choice. After Russia and Germany joined forces, they were surrounding them from the east and the north. The t terrain in the westcked cover and wasn’t suitable for a breakout.
Only the south seemed to have some hope, either fleeing further and jumping into the river to follow the current, or turning in the middle to escape to the city center – these were both worth trying.
By now, Izumo yers had suffered over 15% casualties. Leaving another 200 would increase their losses to over 35%, which was extremely dangerous.
Izumo yers reached a consensus and immediately took action.
In the chaotic battlefield, this covert retreatsted for quite a while before being discovered. German and Russian yers became even more fierce in their attacks.
The Izumo yers who stayed behind to cover their retreat resisted stubbornly, not giving an inch.
Their goal was to die aste as possible.

Out of Daxia’s 100 recon soldiers, only 6 got too close out of curiosity to watch the excitement and were killed as coteral damage by both sides in the ongoing battle.
The remaining 94 still held their positions, keeping an eye on anything they could.<div>
By now, 28 countries’ yers had been marked by Daxia on the map.
Some bored yers even began making sand tables onrge cargo ships.
The 100 who went out to search for the Controller no longer needed to look for it and began to head towards the Drawing a Snake With Horns’ location.
But the situation was very bleak.<div>
As they returned to the seaport, four countries and more than 3,000 people had gathered on their way!
Breaking through the blockade seemed almost impossible for the small team of Drawing a Snake With Horns.
If Daxia wanted to provide support, they would probably have to deploy their entire army, which was too risky just for a single Controller.
Turn back towards the east?
It wouldn’t work either. ording to the “Recon Group’s” information, there were several countries chasing them from behind.
As the encirclement was about to closepletely, another System announcement rang out-
[Nuclear Bomb Controller’s current owner: Daxia. Location: Area 24 – Silent Town, 94-124]
[Nuclear bombunch countdown: 10 minutes.]
This seemed like a signal. In the eyes of the chasing yers, Daxia’s car teams split into four and rushed out of the small town from the east, south, west, and north.
In the center of each car team, a pickup truck was protected, and a huge chest was ced in the truck bed.
yers from all eight sides didn’t hesitate to block them, and with a numerical advantage of tens of times more, the tactic of splitting their forces had little effect.
As the encircling formation was disrupted a little, four more motorbike teams rushed out, and in the middle of each team, a person was tightly holding a briefcase in their arms.
Now the attacking yers were a bit puzzled—<div>
What the hell does a Nuclear Bomb Controller look like??
Nobody had seen one before!
Having no choice, they split up again to block the motorbike teams.
Even though the attacking yers were worried about damaging the Controller and didn’t use heavy firepower, they quickly eliminated the team members due to their absolute numerical advantage.
Then they began to research whether the things they had snatched were nuclear bomb controllers.
First, it was the briefcase, although it also had a password, but how strong could a briefcase’s password lock be?
There was no need even to use a gun, a few shes and it was open.
But at the moment they opened it, they saw the stairway to heaven–
“Boom!”
The loose-releasendmine that the Daxia yers had cautiously fixed inside the briefcase exploded.
In real battlefields, loose-releasendmines are rarely used; most of the time, it’s pressure-releasendmines. You step on it, it explodes, leaving no chance for rescue.
Loose-releasendmines are often chosen deliberately by TV dramas to create suspense.
In Cloud Dream, of course, both types were stuffed in great quantity.<div>
yers, who thought the battle was over, were rushing over excitedly, wanting to see what the “nuclear bomb controller” looked like.
They didn’t expect the cunning trick of hidingndmines inside the briefcase.
As a result, there’s no suspense, a death zone was cleared at the center!
This resulted in them being cautious when opening the chests of the pickup trucks. They hid far away, guessed the fist, and chose a brave one to go up and open the chest alone.
With no surprises–
“Boom!”
The moment the chest was opened, the hand grenades bound together by ropes were pulled off their safety.
The brave one turned and ran, but still couldn’t escape.
All yers who participated in the siege got nothing.
*
[Peak War] Nuclear Bomb Controller current possession: Daxia. Location: Area 24 – Silent Town, 94-124 ]
[Nuclear bombunch countdown: 5 minutes.]
System’s third announcement.<div>
The nuclear bomb controller hadn’t moved at all, still in a small area to the north of the town.
“These people… are all here to dy!”
“What should we do? Shall we rush in and search?”
yers from Siam, Johor, Baekje, Belgium, Nethends, and Norway all realized they were tricked.
But war reporter Mario Pumisat, within the group of Siam yers, suddenly thought of something–
“Daxia yers, wouldn’t bomb themselves, right?”
“What do you mean?” asked a nearby yer.
“Nobody will bomb themselves. Whether it’s the Daxia yers’ main base [Seaport] or the town they’re in now, neither of them could be the target of the nuclear bomb. So, this area now is the [Safe Zone]!”
“So, we are actually safe?”
“Not just that!” Mario quickly continued, “In 5 minutes, the nuclear bomb is about to explode, so why not wait and watch it instead? Anyway, those sted are all our opponents!”
“As for the controller, it’s already blocked in the town, unable to escape. We can wait until the explosion is over and then snatch it.”
Like waking from a dream, the yers from Siam stopped in their tracks and no longer advanced.
Not only the yers from Siam but other factions besieging the town quickly thought of this too. They all rxed, started searching for the tallest buildings nearby, and prepared to enjoy the rare, super explosion that was about to happen.

On the other side, Russian and German yers sessfully annihted the Izumo yers in the airport who were left behind, but did not pursue further. They quickly resupplied their military equipment and continued sweeping to the west.
Since Izumo had suffered massive losses and their air force appeared to be no threat, it was not worth their time to chase them.
The most important thing now was to stay mobile, to reduce the chances of being hit by a nuclear bomb.
On the other hand, Izumo yers, who fled all the way south, saw nobody chasing them from behind. They nned to enter the city from the east and redeploy their positions.
As a result, they collided head-on with the Italian yers who had stormed out of the city from the west!
Italian yers, from the beginning of the match, had been furiously charging towards the city center but up until now, they hadn’t encountered a single enemy, driving them crazy.
Now that they finally see people, they are excited.
Their Italian cannons had long been starving for action!
“Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!”
Izumo yers, escaping with their heads covered, fled southward, soon reaching the river on the map.
Izumo yers, like ducks being chased, plunged into the river awkwardly, hoping to escape by drifting downstream.
…
In their panic, Izumo yers had forgotten–
Across the river were the French yers’ anti-aircraft shelters.
And at this time, there was 1 minute and 30 seconds left for the nuclear bomb tounch.
