Chapter 233 Guests Are Coming
The character in the simulation system can actually guess that he is in the system?
This really surprised Su Xia.
At the beginning of system design, when doing demand analysis, we should ensure that these roles will not have this kind of cognition.
At this time, the battlefield was still filled with artillery fire, smoke and roars, and death seemed to be coming at any time, but the other members of the team had no intention of moving forward.
One of them grabbed Su Xia's shoulders and asked seriously: "Brother, are we all simulated by the battle system?"
"What year is it in the Imperial calendar now?"
"What was the outcome of this battle?"
"We have a prototype of the character, and he must be dead. Can you help us pass a message to his family?"
“…”
Everyone surrounded Su Xia, with confusion, panic and bewilderment in their eyes. They even ignored the insects wandering around, just wanting to know the truth.
Perhaps in order to ensure a simulation that is close to 100% realistic, every character in this battlefield does have a prototype and accompanying memories.
They were eager to know the answer from Su Xia, but were afraid that the answer would be what they had guessed.
In order to make the mission go smoothly, Su Xia plans to tell a lie.
But at this moment, the jungles in front, behind, and on both sides of them suddenly made strange noises.
“Rustle…rustle…”
The bushes shook, the sound approached rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a strange and hunched figure pounced on the team from behind.
Insects appeared one after another in other directions around them. Relying on their speed advantage, they rushed out of the shadow area of the jungle and exposed themselves to the sunlight. Their dark red deformed bodies and torn fangs looked particularly terrifying.
The entire team was unable to react in time as they were all distracted by the simulation system, and in an instant one of the team members had his throat cut.
“Hmm…”
He covered his neck, his eyes wide open with fear, blood , and he slowly fell forward.
Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out and the team members fought with the insects.
But the bugs took the initiative to attack by surprise, and the combat was in close combat. In just a few blinks of an eye, all the members of the entire team fell in a pool of blood.
From the beginning to the end of the battle, I failed to kill even a single bug, and died a very miserable death.
A white light flashed before Su Xia's eyes.
You are dead
[Your survival time is 20 minutes and 22 seconds]
[Based on your performance on the battlefield, the system gives you an overall score of F-]
【Please keep up the good work】
F-, this is the lowest score given .
But at least I got some points.
This failure made Su Xia realize that the difficulty of the simulated battlefield mission comes not only from the cruelty of the battlefield, but also from the system itself.
Once the virtual characters become aware of their own existence, they will deviate from the normal trajectory of events, making it difficult to carry out the mission.
Su Xia stared at the four golden words "Hell Battlefield" on the interface, thought for a moment, and clicked again after half a minute.

【……】
The scene in front of me suddenly lit up, and I was still in the airdrop cabin with a tense atmosphere.
The team members are still the same people, with familiar faces, but they have all been adjusted back to the initial settings by the system and have no memory of the last simulation.
Su Xia glanced at everyone's expressions, and then said, "Listen to me, I received news before I set out that there are Zerg enslaved by the Kingdom of Heaven in the jungle below, and we must be prepared."
"What?"
The others were all stunned and looked at each other.
They had heard similar news, but it had not been confirmed. The people above didn't say much, but just asked them to rush to the assembly point.
The captain asked, "Brother, is the news reliable?"
Su Xia replied, "Yes, I have a friend named Li Defu who works in the intelligence department. When this war is over, you can look up his name in the system."
"Brother, you have a connection. You actually know someone in the intelligence department. Please introduce him to us later."
"No problem." Su Xia agreed immediately. "Speaking of the bugs, my friend told me that many paratroopers were attacked by bugs before they even left the space capsule, so we must rush out the moment we land. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone nodded, obviously trusting the friend in the intelligence department that Su Xia mentioned.
The next thing was simple, Su Xia gave a few more instructions.
The space capsule landed and the hatch opened. Everyone quickly went out to block the bugs, repelling their attacks several times and gaining a firm foothold.
Afterwards, we continued to rush to the gathering point.
When seeing the rest of the space capsules, Su Xia said again: "My friend also told me that some bugs will parasitize on corpses and disguise themselves as soldiers who died in battle, so we must be extra cautious."
"Understood!"
Hearing this, the captain immediately gave up the idea of going in to search for resources.
He simply took out a grenade and threw it into the space capsule.
Compared to the previous times, this time, it can be said to be extremely smooth. The whole process was extremely smooth and the first twenty minutes were easily passed.
It’s almost half an hour before the agreed time.
After walking a few steps, the hillside where the meeting point was located appeared in everyone's sight.
The captain picked up the telescope, took a careful look, and said, "The situation is not optimistic. There are only a few people who have arrived at the assembly point. I can only see two teams."
Two teams, that is, twenty people, plus the ten of them, would have trouble protecting themselves in this dangerous jungle, let alone establishing a safe base.
Su Xia licked her dry lips, took out the water bottle she carried with her and took a sip, then said, "We'll talk about it when we get there, and we'll take it one step at a time."
On the way to the gathering point, the team members remained on guard and the bugs did not find an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
After two consecutive attacks were repelled, the Zerg retreated, leaving behind a few corpses and turning to target the remaining drop pods that were about to land.
Twenty-eight minutes after landing, everyone successfully arrived at the assembly point and joined up with the other two teams.
A few minutes later, two more teams arrived.
There were five teams at the assembly point, with a total of fifty people, and they could barely gain a foothold.
"We need to go pick up the rest of the people. These damn bugs are too cunning." The captain of one of the teams said, "We don't have enough weapons and equipment. We need to get some supplies from the airborne supply cabin."
"The location of this assembly point is also not good. It is easily covered by enemy fire."
"We must contact the other assembly points as soon as possible..."
“…”
As more people come together, more ideas emerge.
Everyone moved to a safer area nearby, but still left a mark at the original assembly point to facilitate discovery by other airborne teams.
After a discussion, Su Xia's team received a new mission - to work with another team to bring back supplies from an airborne supply cabin.
The supply cabin is about 1,300 meters away from here, neither far nor close.
After a short rest, the two teams set off together.
It hasn't been a smooth journey.
The jungle is full of dangers. The shadowy areas of the woods seem to hide pairs of invisible evil eyes. The hoarse cries of insects can be heard from time to time in the distance, and the heart-pounding sound of artillery fire never stops.
After walking a thousand meters, everyone found a field of mutilated bodies.
"Attacked by bugs."
"Should have joined us, alas..."
"Rest in peace."
The body was covered with bite marks, claw marks, and penetrating wounds. Blood mixed with bone fragments and torn internal organs, and condensed into lumps with the soil on the ground. It was no longer recognizable as a human.
Time was running out and everyone had no time to bury these soldiers, so they could only keep moving forward and get closer to the target location.
There are a large number of energy weapons and heavy weapons in the supply bay, which are needed to establish a base.
To ensure safety, the supply cabin will not open automatically after landing. You need to manually open the outer protective shell and enter the established password to access the supplies inside.
Not long after, everyone arrived at their destination.
This supply bay remains intact.
The rest of the people were on guard around them, while the captain of Su Xia's team stepped forward, forcefully opened the protective shell of the combination lock, and began to enter the password.
But at this moment, Su Xia suddenly had a bad premonition and immediately shouted: "Stop! Everyone retreat!"
But it was too late.
As the password was entered and the hatch opened, the entire cargo hold suddenly exploded.
The terrifying energy shock wave swept everything, and a white light appeared in front of Su Xia's eyes again.
You are dead
[Your survival time is 50 minutes and 1 second]
[Based on your performance on the battlefield, the system gives you an overall score of E-]
【Please keep up the good work】
This time, Su Xia thought of it in advance, but was still a few seconds late.
The parasites can read part of the host's memory to perfectly disguise themselves as the host. They can parasitize living soldiers, obtain passwords, open the supply bay, and make the supply bay into an extremely dangerous trigger bomb.
When bugs learn to use human tools, their threat level rises to terrifying levels.
The talents of this race are really too strong.
Su Xia logged out of the system and checked the time.
"It's already past six in the morning."
Playing games really makes people forget about time.
He logged off to have breakfast, and brought some for the other five guys in the dormitory who were staying up late, then returned to the game.
I have nothing to do today. The identity of the masked man is still wanted, so he cannot be used for the time being. I will leave it to the bracelet and stay in the pharmacy to continue refining medicine, striving to break through to the fourth-level pharmacist as soon as possible.
Xiong Wei and others were still in the wreckage and had already checked all the cabins.
They sat in a movie cabin in the living area, each of them kept quiet and focused, watching the movie "120 Hours to Quickly Understand the Interstellar World" that Hal played for them.
Su Xia stood at the cabin door, took a quick look, and found that everyone was engrossed, so she didn't disturb them.
He returned to the simulation cabin, entered the hell battlefield, and continued to play.
[Hell Battlefield·Heaven War is loading...]
【……】
Time passes by every second.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Su Xia increased his survival time to "1 hour and 35 minutes". The number of people in the assembly point had exceeded 100. This time he was accidentally killed by a landmine.
At twelve o'clock noon, Su Xia increased his survival time to "3 hours and 56 minutes".
He has a strong ability to adapt, and after getting used to that dangerous environment, he survives longer and longer.
After logging off and having a quick lunch, Su Xia returned to the game and continued the simulation.
When the time came to twelve o'clock in the evening, his survival time increased to "6 hours and 14 minutes". During this period, he was careless a few times and died early.
In this simulation, they have established a complete stronghold, the number of people in the entire stronghold has expanded to 700, and all the insects within a few kilometers around have been cleared to ensure that the subsequent paratroopers will no longer be attacked by insects.
During this period of time, Xiong Wei outside has reluctantly returned to the base to manage various affairs of all sizes.
Zhang Fang and others were still in the wreckage, seizing every minute and second to learn about the starry sky.
The whole day passed like this.
Su Xia started the simulation again, and this time it went smoothly. He slowly spent eight hours in the battlefield full of dangers, and the number of people in the entire stronghold had exceeded a thousand.
Due to his perfect performance in many missions, Su Xia has a very high reputation in the stronghold.
[Congratulations, you have survived for more than eight hours in the Battle of Heaven and received an "S" rating]
[One third of the first phase has been completed]
[You get a new mission: destroy the enemy's eight doomsday fortresses]
[After completing the task, you will get a second "S" rating, please keep up the good work]
At the same time that Su Xia received the mission reminder, the contact person between this base and other bases also received the news from the headquarters -
Launch the attack!
"Headquarters requires us to destroy the enemy's air defense positions in this area!" the contact shouted hoarsely, trying to drown out the sound of artillery fire and explosions.
"But there are a lot of Doomsday Fortresses in those positions, and this battle is very difficult."
"Brothers, if you can come back alive, let's go to the tavern and have a few drinks together!"
"good!"
"You must come back alive!"
“…”
The time in the simulation system was around three in the morning, and during this period, the enemy's artillery fire never stopped.
The enemy built a large number of fortresses in the occupied areas and called them Doomsday Fortresses. The name is self-explanatory. They tried to delay the advance of the imperial soldiers on the ground with countless fortresses.
The attack began, and the entire stronghold rushed out in full force, heading towards the enemy-occupied area.
At the same time, dozens of similar strongholds in this vast area launched attacks.
At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly flashed in the distant sky.
The entire night was instantly illuminated, as if it were daytime.
“Boom——!”
The sound took more than ten seconds to arrive. The ground shook continuously, as if an unprecedented earthquake had occurred. Many soldiers fell to the ground in the shaking.
Above the sky, the fleet's orbital bombardment system was finally activated, forcing a bloody path open for the soldiers on the ground.
This system is too powerful, and there are still a large number of civilians in the enemy-occupied area, and those civilians are destined not to survive.
"After this battle, the fleet commander will definitely be summoned by the court."
Su Xia set out with the team and soon entered the brutal enemy-occupied area.
The enemy’s so-called doomsday fortresses are not much stronger than ordinary bunkers, but there are too many of them.
Su Xia had just set his sights on a target, but before he could make a move, a shell hit him right in the chest.
"boom!"
There was a flash of white light before my eyes, and the picture went dark again.
You are dead
…
The time outside was already past eight in the morning.
At this time, a large number of researchers from Longcheng were on their way.
"Faster, faster!"
"That bastard Zhang Fang refused to give me his real address. I will give him a good beating after we meet!"
The old dean of Tianxing Academy led the team personally, and more than one-third of the team members were from the academy.
Most of the others belong to the mysterious alien civilization research department in Longcheng.
They traveled day and night, each of them wearing a set of sophisticated exoskeleton armor. They moved at an extremely fast speed, not considering the issue of consumption at all, and could move through the rugged mountains and forests as if they were walking on flat ground.
