“Good heavens, is this the effect of summoning Players?”
Andrei had to admit he was startled, looking at the five gray Soldiers who appeared out of nowhere beside him in the blink of an eye, without any warning.
At the same time, as he summoned five Players, Andrei found that not only could he see the nicknames and health bars above their heads, but a small map also appeared in his mind.
Although the range of this small map was limited, seemingly only encompassing a 100-meter radius for now, it was simply a divine artifact in close-quarters combat!
In this small map, within a 100-meter radius, all enemies appeared as red dots of varying sizes, while allies became blue dots of varying sizes.
However, from the current situation, Andrei’s own allied forces didn't seem to be in a good position, as he could clearly see that the number of red dots on the map outnumbered the blue dots!
Just then, as the mission bar popped up in front of the Players, the previously static time resumed flowing.
Facing the Players, Andrei didn't waste words, but pointed outside the trench and said:
“Gentlemen, the enemy is charging! I need you to destroy that armored vehicle!”
“Hold this position and await our allied reinforcements!”
No sooner had Andrei finished speaking than the Players began discussing among themselves in the chat.
Zhi Wo Tianzun: 【Holy crap, such realistic touch, such high-definition graphics, truly awesome! With this technology, why are they making bundled software?】
Female Knight Qiqin Goblin: 【Maybe their review didn't pass? Is there something good in this game?】
Hao Nan Ge: 【Wait a minute, I say, is this the mission objective we need to protect? He looks like an important character in this game!】
Old Soldier 10086: 【Perhaps, but he might also just be a tutorial character for the initial plot. Maybe after the initial plot is completed, he'll be killed off by the story!】
Brave Niu Niu: 【Bad review! This game is another one where you can't take off your pants! When will we 'pants-off' players finally rise up?】
Andrei watched the Players' chat logs, a black line forming on his forehead, especially when he saw someone actually trying to take off his pants. He quickly patched the Player permissions.
He didn't want a bunch of naked Soldiers under his command. The Players might not feel ashamed, but he certainly would!
“Soldier, what are you doing? Have you wet your pants from fear?”
“The enemy is about to charge! Quickly destroy that armored vehicle, stop fiddling with your embarrassing pants!”
Seeing the officer suddenly scold him, all the Players were startled, especially Brave Niu Niu, who wanted to take off his pants, showing a surprised expression.
Brave Niu Niu: 【Oh my goodness, are the NPCs in this game so intelligent? Damn it, even an NPC is stopping me from taking off my pants!】
Hao Nan Ge: 【Stop talking so much, the game has started, quickly see what that approaching armored vehicle is!】
As he spoke, the Player named Hao Nan Ge quickly crawled to the front of the trench and took a look, then was greatly startled by the continuously advancing three-legged iron can.
“What the heck is that thing?”
No sooner had Hao Nan Ge spoken than Andrei, who had just come over, explained:
“I don’t know, it should be Black Hawk’s latest armored vehicle. We can’t even lift our heads when this thing attacks!”
Andrei shrugged. He didn't know what it was himself and couldn't explain it to the Players, so he just spoke casually based on the information he had.
However, no sooner had Andrei finished speaking than Brave Niu Niu, another Player who had also chosen the Assault role, leaped up and flipped out of the trench.
As he flipped, he was still saying something:
“Hahaha, the kill is mine!”
But as soon as he popped his head up, the large iron can, whose machine gun had been pointed elsewhere, immediately turned back and launched a fierce volley of fire at him.
This barrage instantly tore the reckless fellow to shreds, and at the same time, it made Andrei and the other Players quickly duck their heads, fearing being hit by the flying bullets.
“Holy crap, the kill effects in this game are so realistic! No wonder this game couldn't be released normally, the content is so hardcore!”
Hao Nan Ge quickly crouched down, unable to help but exclaim. He had to admit, he was greatly startled by the completely realistic kill effect; the scene was a bit too bloody.
“Soldier, do you have any way to take that thing down?”
Just then, Andrei nudged his shoulder and asked. The reason he summoned Players was to quickly deal with that thing.
The Soldiers in this trench clearly had no ability to deal with that monster.
A few brave men had rushed out before, but as soon as they poked their heads out with grenades, they were either killed on the spot by this thing or quickly shot dead by the enemy Soldiers providing cover nearby.
Otherwise, Andrei wouldn't have been in such a hurry to summon Players to help him; wasn't he counting on the Players' abnormal abilities?
Seeing the NPC urge him, Hao Nan Ge found it amusing. Besides being hardcore, the game's interactions with NPCs were also quite interesting.
“Boss, don’t be impatient, it’s just a small tank, it can be easily blown up!”
As he spoke, Hao Nan Ge checked his equipment. Seeing the anti-tank mine and cluster grenades he pulled out of his backpack, he immediately grinned.
Watching the iron can about to climb onto the trench, he suddenly picked up the anti-tank mine, threw it forcefully backward, and with a posture impossible for a normal person, he perfectly placed the mine on the ground, right in front of the iron can.
Then, in the next moment, the large iron can, completely unprepared for an anti-tank mine to appear under its feet in such an absurd way, stepped right on it.
Accompanied by a loud boom, Andrei felt his ears ringing in pain, but when he looked closely at the mini-map, he found that the large red dot marking the armored unit had disappeared.
Through the gaps in the sandbags, Andrei glanced outside.
Indeed, as a light armored vehicle, it was instantly destroyed by stepping on a substantial anti-tank mine.
Clearly, its chassis wasn't very sturdy. Through the overturned iron can, Andrei saw that its two legs and the chassis below were all shattered, with blood slowly flowing out from inside.
“Well done, that mine was placed perfectly!”
Andrei excitedly patted Hao Nan Ge’s shoulder, and at the same time, the other Soldiers on the position, no longer suppressed by the large iron can, also began firing fiercely at the enemy Soldiers rushing out.
Evidently, the enemy Soldiers accompanying the large can had no idea that it would be inexplicably destroyed by the enemy, and they were instantly thrown into disarray.
After several of them were continuously killed, they all fell to the ground, hiding in the ubiquitous shell craters.
