Chapter 682: Chapter 649: Entering the Later Stages of Running


    In the eastern part of thepetition venue, as the system prompts kept popping up, the yers’ heads were filled with question marks, and they still didn’t know what had happened.


    —The meteorite fell into the ocean, with all the impact absorbed by the water and then transformed into a tsunami. As a result, the shake was minimal, and it didn’t reach the eastern part of the battlefield.


    The yers in the east didn’t feel the earthquake, so they had no idea how powerful the meteorite was.


    “Tsunami,” they really couldn’t think of such a thing, even if they racked their brains.


    However, this wasn’t a tsunami caused by an underwater earthquake. So, its peak was only one wave, which progressively weakened as it moved east and quickly receded.


    One kilometer from the coastline, tworge cargo ships were stranded on the wreckage of a highway.


    The bow of one of the cargo ships had even smashed into the cabin of the other ship.


    “Ugh~~Ugh~~Ugh!!”


    In the ship cabin with arge hole, a Daxia yer struggled to vomit, propped up his body, climbed out of the hole along the nted floor, and saw the sunlight again.


    Feeling grateful to be alive after the disaster, the sunlight seemed incredibly beautiful.<div>


    He couldn’t help but spread his arms, basking in the sunlight while eximing from the bottom of his heart: “Praise the sun!”


    Behind him, one by one, yers struggled to regain theirposure, crawled out of the cabin, and left the cargo ship.


    Meanwhile, in the other cargo ship, more yers wereing out one after another, stepping on the ground again.


    After a summary, they found that, as expected, the losses were heavy.


    Now, there were only 188 remaining yers here. In addition to the 64 recon soldiers scattered outside and the remaining 77 people searching for the Nuclear Bomb Controller, they were the only Daxia yers left.


    Super Tomato’s cargo ship, along with the three Italian artillery, waspletely wiped out.


    All the yers who stayed at the seaport were wiped out too.


    The weapons and equipment were also severely damaged.


    For Daxia yers, the race instantly entered a hellish mode, and the championship seemed very elusive.


    Even many audiences in the live broadcast room felt that the game had entered the “garbage time” in advance—


    The strongest T1 War Zone had two eliminated, and one heavily damaged.


    After T2 War Zone, the strongest three (Germany, Izumo, Ottoman Republic) were eliminated. The remaining three (Australia, Annan, Italy) had rtively weak authority, and now they were also heavily damaged.


    What’s left to watch?


    Chickens fighting in T3 War Zone?


    Perhaps many viewers thought it’s not bad, as there will be more fun.


    But those who valued the strength wouldn’t ept it.


    The remaining Daxia yers in thepetition venue wouldn’t ept it either. Although they were in a bad situation now, they were not willing to give up easily.


    Especially when their original strongest opponents had been bizarrely eliminated.


    —Even without this ident, in a head-on confrontation with Russian and German yers, the loss might not be less than now.<div>


    However, if they could control the timing themselves, the final battle would surely happen at the end of the game, not like now, where they still have to face so many opponents.


    “Brothers, how can we deal with this headwind?” A Daxia yer named [Milky Snow] checked his guns and hand grenades while asking in the faction channel.


    Around the cargo ship, the surviving Daxia yers, after recovering theirposure, began to sort out their weapons.


    Some people who lost their weapons had to go back to the ship cabin and search for weapons again.<div>


    “Maybe it’s time to adopt the human wave tactic?” Someone responded in the channel.


    “Really? Is that it?”


    “Not necessarily, right? We gather together, and there are more than 300 people after all. Nothing else, it shouldn’t be hard to fight against Italy, right? Can’t we just go and smash their pot first?”


    “But if we gather together, we will lose the battlefield vision. Without a full map, I don’t feel secure…”


    Daxia yers joined the discussion.


    It was this discussion that made the audience puzzled—


    “Human wave tactics”?


    With only so few people left, can they still y human wave tactics?


    Soon, after voting to save time, the Daxia yers concluded, and the audience finally understood the meaning of “human wave tactics”—


    The Daxia yers said their goodbyes to each other, and then scattered in all directions right there.


    “Good grief, does human wave tactics mean to blend into the crowd?”


    “So even the name of the tactic is misleading? Who are they trying to prevent?”


    “All I can say is: genius!”<div>


    …


    That’s right, the Daxia yers dispersed on the spot, scattering throughout the entire battlefield.


    From now on, it was all about individual performance. Whether they wanted to find a ce toy low, take advantage of the chaos, snipe from a distance, or work together in small groups, it was up to them to decide.


    They wouldn’t regroup until only three factions were left.


    This, of course, was not the best strategy, but after witnessing the earth-shattering scene earlier, they could not bear to face a simr fate again.


    By spreading out, they could at least avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop.


    The rest would be up to skill and luck!


    *


    Because of the unexpected tsunami, thepetition jumped past its mid-stage and directly entered thete stage.


    Now in the field, the Daxia yers spread out and started to wreak havoc all over the map.


    After finishing their food, the Italian yers regrouped, nning to return to where they were bombed before and see if they could recover some of their lost artillery.


    The battle between the British and Indian yers did not cease after the temporary interruption from the falling meteorite. Instead, it intensified even more.


    Both sides were fighting with all their might.<div>


    The current conflict truly had the feel of a “father-son match.”


    No one wanted to lose!


    The underground cavern of the Annan yers was nowpletely flooded with water.


    Even crazier, they found out that the water was radioactive!


    This forced them to leave the cavern and search for a new position.


    T2 War Zone’sst survivor was Australia.


    However, there wasn’t much to say about the Australian yers. Their performance showed that they simply weren’t well suited forrge-scale battles.


    After the start of thepetition, they met several opponents and lost each match. As a result, half of their yers were eliminated, and they failed to even showcase the strength of being in fourth ce in the T2 War Zone.


    At least Italy chased Izumo for an entire round!


    *


    Oh, right, there was also a nuclear bomb earlier.


    That bomb uratelynded in the north-eastern area of the map, where there was a desert. There was only one oasis yer’s position, and the bomb even avoided it.


    It perfectly executed the intention of “shrinking the zone.”<div>


    The problem was, this area hid a group of real “survival masters.”


    The Finnish yers chose the oasis as their base but left after the match started, hiding at the edge of the desert.


    They realized a loophole before thepetition: in reality, people instinctively believed that it was hard to survive in a desert.


    However, in the virtual world, most negative conditions were shielded.


    No hunger, no thirst, and no sunburn.


    It was entirely feasible to hide in the desert!


    As long as they hid well, they had an excellent chance of avoiding all fights during the early and mid stages of thepetition and directly advancing to thete stage.


    As expected, so far during thepetition, not a single country found and attacked them.


    Even Daxia’s elusive reconnaissance soldiers left the oasis readily without considering the possibility of searching deeper into the desert.


    This allowed the Finnish yers to pass thepetition time without firing a single shot.


    That is, until a nuclear bomb dropped on their heads, taking them out in an instant…


    *


    Now, across the entire [Peak War] battlefield, the faction that had the least damage and still had over 800 yers surviving – interestingly enough – was from a rtively unknown country that often went overlooked in reality: Liechtenstein.


    With a poption of over 39,000, the virtual poption was just over 2,000.


    Yet they managed to gather 1,000 yers to represent their country in the [Peak War], and now they’ve be thergest surviving faction!


    In the Cloud Dream Official Live Room, there were initially only around 500 viewers with Liechtenstein IP addresses.


    However, after the tsunami wiped out several strong teams and Liechtenstein’s survival numbers jumped to the top of the leaderboard, the number of viewers from the tiny nation suddenly increased, nearly quadrupling in the blink of an eye and still rising!


    They saw the hope of winning the championship for the first time-


    iming victory in apetition with 36 countries participating and nearly the equivalent of their total poption!


    If sessful, it would definitely go down in history!
