Chapter 395: Shocking Counterattack, the Humans Have Finally Broke Out!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Humans would never fight unprepared battles, even in the wasteland!

Of course, the Dragon Flag Shelter had started from nothing, and it had managed to grow into such a size, a huge fleet running four ships.

Not because of the terrifying strength and luck of the members in the shelter.

Instead…

They were being supported by two million people!

“Reporting!

“Come in!”

With a resounding sound, the line of sight shifted to the Dragon Flag One, the largest ship in the Dragon Flag Shelter, which was located in front of a conference room on the second floor of the main deck.

After the words ‘come in’ were said, the middle-aged man standing at the door with a stack of data in his arms knocked open the door of the conference room with his elbow.

There were not many people in the conference room—only seven, so he could see them all at a glance.

Because of the restrictions of the game, the person sitting in the seat was not very old, but due to the depressing look between his eyebrows, he seemed quite prestigious.

“Shelter Leader Long, all our ships have been fixed, all materials have been rapidly transmitted, and the data from other Battlefield Areas have also been calculated!

“Crimson Moon, currently located at Battlefield Area No.3, Dawn Sword, located at Battlefield Area No.7, and Gandalf, located in Battlefield Area No.11, are all in place. The remaining two Battlefield Areas, Apocalypse, in Battlefield Area No.12, are currently experiencing a wave of head-to-head encounters. The battle is in good condition and is expected to end within one hour, which will not affect the execution of the original plan. Polar Bear, located in Battlefield Area 5, is collecting their rewards. The estimated time of completion is half an hour.”

“The current wind direction on the ocean is northwesterly, and it is expected to turn northerly in one hour and forty minutes. After that, it is expected to turn to the southeast in three hours and eight minutes.”

“There are still 22 minutes until the next tsunami. The current ocean surface temperature is 9.9 degrees, the ocean current is 8.12 knots, and the temperature difference in the ocean…”

Putting down the data he was holding, the middle-aged man moved to quickly pick up a piece of paper and report on this new information.

From the temperature in the sea, to the weather, from the speed of the sea, to the change of the wind direction.

The data reported had almost covered the general situation of the entire wasteland ocean.

Even if everyone was only staying in the most remote 001 area, through this data, they could visualize some of the current situation in other sea areas.

After reading for five or six minutes, when the middle-aged man finally ran out of papers in his hands, the report finally ended.

The seven people sitting at the table did not show any impatience on their faces. Instead, they all had pondering expressions, quietly thinking about the situation behind the data.

A few minutes later, just when the middle-aged man was hesitating about whether he should leave or not…

Sitting in the center, about forty-five years old, a man with a square face slowly said…

“Are there any updates on the progress of the test at the base today? Have they detected anything…”

It seemed that the things behind were a little taboo, as after looking at the man’s pointed eyes, the middle-aged man immediately understood and shook his head again and again.

“Shelter Leader Long, don’t worry about this, although the instruments we have obtained are very simple, with the blessing of this mysterious rank ability, the reliability of the data is still very high!

“Although we completed the third phase of the experiment in a hurry, we also completed it all. The data from other shelters mostly matches the data we got.

“Although there is no guarantee of what it will look like in the future, right now, it will definitely not cause any harm to us.

“As for the future… this thing was originally extracted from the wasteland, so we won’t know what’s going to happen!”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the middle-aged man did not speak further.

As a researcher, the most taboo thing to do was to phrase your guesses as facts.

In such a large shelter, it was even more taboo to use one’s own guesses to influence the decisions of the people above.

“Okay, Yongqiang, you may leave.

“By the way, let the kitchen side fill up the food for our soldiers tonight. Make sure everyone is full! Don’t wait until the battle starts to realize that you’re starving!”

Looking at the man named Xie Yongqiang with a panicked expression, a middle-aged woman sitting at the bottom of the seven people waved her hand and temporarily helped him clear the siege.

When Xie Yongqiang left, a new round of noise broke out in the conference room that had previously been keeping calm and restrained.

“Shelter Leader Long, are you still hesitating on whether we should use it or not? It’s already around the corner!”

“If you hesitate for another second, hundreds of people will die in this ocean right here. Hesitate another minute, and there will be tens of thousands of people who will never see tomorrow’s sun.”

“Once the war of three races begins, we have no means in place to support these people. We will be the eternal sinners in the history of the rise and fall of mankind!”

“It’s already the third phase of the experiment. Even if there are future consequences, we can bear it together later on. Besides, according to the speed of our development at the time, will we not be able to solve the consequences of this thing?”

“Shelter Leader Long, make a decision. All the Battlefield Areas will be in place soon!”

“Yes! If you don’t release it, someone else will, and in the end, the result will be the same.”

Where humans were present, there would be circles, and where battles appeared, there would be radicals and conservatives.

It was true of Tundra One, and true of Dragon Flag One!

At the time, there were seven people in the conference room. Five people were on the radical side.

Only the man they called Shelter Leader Long, and a man who looked younger than everyone else, remained silent.

“Be quiet, don’t make any noise; Shelter Leader Long didn’t say to stop this either.”

“You are thinking about killing these foreign races, and Shelter Leader Long is thinking about the future of human beings. What’s so good about arguing when you all aren’t looking at this from the same angle?”

In the end, it was the young man who patted the table and raised his voice, making everyone stop.

It was this pause that made the conference room fall into a long silence again, leaving only the sound of everyone constantly flipping through the materials in their hands.

After a while, after another knock on the door rang out, the door was pushed open.

Seven bowls of noodle soup were brought in.

Although there were only a few vegetable leaves floating in everyone’s bowl, the bowls were very warm for a night as late as this one.

Everyone continued to read the materials while slurping their noodles, and the intense atmosphere was instantly relieved.

After finishing the noodles and drinking the soup in the bowl, Shelter Leader Long, who was sitting on top, also seemed to have figured it out. He tapped the edge of the bowl, and said slowly after attracting everyone’s attention, “Okay, how should we fight this battle? When the time comes, we should cooperate with other Battlefield Areas to complete the action!

“What Jiaruo is saying is true. If we wait another minute, tens of thousands of people will die. Instead of worrying about what will happen in the future, it is better to live the present well. Let everyone go to the New World and we shall plan again from there.

“A big population will always be our most precious resource. Once there are too many casualties, in our current environment, we may not be able to survive and the clan will have to be exterminated!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously quiet meeting room immediately burst into commotion.

The five radicals stood up excitedly on the spot, took the documents in their hands, and strode out of the conference room.

In less than a minute, the meeting room that had just been silent was empty. Only Shelter Leader Long and the young man remained staring at the bowls in front of them.

After a long while of listening to the gradually chaotic footsteps fade away, the young man gradually raised his head. His eyes became resolute.

“Shelter Leader Long, there is no extra time for us to hesitate. The use of Superpower Suppressant is our best strategy in this war.

“Although the tsunami disaster broke out earlier, the only difference to us is that our experiments have been shortened by two rounds from the original five rounds. Judging from the current experimental data, whether these suppressions will gradually evolve into poisons that restrain humans as they spread, no one can say for sure, even if we finish the five rounds of testing, there will be no guarantees on the outcome.

“But as far as the current lethality is concerned, these suppressants will obviously cause serious damage to the ‘spellcasting’ abilities of marine and land foreign races. Even if diluted 10 million times, or 100 million times, it has an immediate effect. As long as they are exposed to even a little bit, their abilities will be blocked, and incidentally, a certain degree of backlash will be generated.

“With the base personnel staying in place, we can guarantee that all twelve Battlefield Areas will receive the suppressants. Even with the help of the tsunami, we will receive immediate results at noon tomorrow.

“After we finish the battle, we will go to the New World immediately. Even if there are problems in the future, there will be time to buffer!”

As the only scientific researcher among the seven, the young man seemed to be comforting Shelter Leader Long, as well as himself.

Superpower Suppressants were a new type of technology discovered after the excavation of underground ruins in an official shelter of mankind.

In the description, the manufacturing process of this suppressant was not complicated. It only required a few simple instruments and some flowers and plants specific to the wasteland to be manufactured.

After manufacturing, the only dominant ability at present was…

Suppressing foreign races!

No matter what kind of foreign races, as long as your wound came into direct contact with this substance—even if you drank it—it would have an immediate effect.

For example, the Taurens had great power talent. Although humans did not know where the source of this talent was. They just let their flesh and blood come into contact with this drug.

Depending on the concentration, it would only take a few minutes for the Taurens’ tremendous strength to disappear on the spot, and because of the excessive demand on the body after the ability disappears, their strength would be lower than that of normal adult women.

At this time, even an ordinary earthling could hold a stick and beat the Tauren who was over two meters tall to the ground.

For some foreign races who had no abilities and only physical fitness, this medicine would be even more terrifying!

The drug molecules in the suppressant were like the most greedy devourers. They needed enough energy!

The source of power for the foreign races was the most delicious food, which could make them full at once!

However, if you did not have power, then very unfortunately your entire body would turn into a parasite, gradually draining all the ‘vitality’ given by this drug. You would age rapidly and this would lead to death.

This kind of terrifying consequence was exactly what the person who had invented this suppressant was most worried about!

Once in the process of transmission, these specific suppressants could only be triggered by foreign races mutating, and humans would also be identified within the attack range.

Thus, for humans without an innate ability, it would be akin to drinking three catties of arsenic.

All infected people had to watch their bodies gradually die and gradually decay, forced to personally bear the consequences of this horror.

“Ruan Bo, you’re not the first person to say that to me in the past two days. Of course I know the logic behind it!

“If we don’t release it, humans will be doomed; if we do, the humans will almost be doomed. There’s no need to make a choice, I’m just…”

“Waiting?”

Looking at the confusion and longing on Shelter Leader Long’s face, Ruan Bo paused. After guessing it, a little hope appeared on his face.

“You thought I was the only one waiting, but I’ll tell you, Beauty, Polar Bear, Mighty Goose, Falcon… They’re all waiting!

“Everyone knows how this thing works, and no one wants to be the sinner here. If not for that, this thing wouldn’t have survived to today, it would’ve been used 28 days ago!”

That being said, Shelter Leader Long reluctantly put on a trace of smile, stood up, and patted Ruan Bo on the shoulder.

He did not continue to sit. Instead, he slipped the folder on the table between his armpit and torso and walked out slowly. It looked thick, but it was actually only a piece of paper at his armpit.

Only Ruan Bo was left in the conference room. As he looked at Shelter Leader Long’s back, a strange expression appeared on Ruan Bo’s face.

Before today, everyone thought that the documents that Shelter Leader Long read every day were truly top-secret documents which recorded important information affecting the course of human history.

However, now Ruan Bo knew from the glimpse just now that that was not the case. He had seen two big words on the top of the white paper in the folder.

These two words were not unfamiliar to people in the whole wasteland. They were…

‘Su Mo’!
