This Game Was Too Damn Real!

"Everyone switch to RPGs!"

I gently raised my hand, and a purple RPG appeared on my shoulder. I said, "There are 12 vehicles from left to right. I, Cai Cai, Fatty, Ruolin, and Kou Mei will take out 1-5 vehicles in that order, then quickly reload and take out 6-10 vehicles in the same order. Then, in the third round, reload and take out the remaining vehicles. Give me five rounds of continuous fire to make sure all their vehicles are destroyed. Once the vehicles are gone, move on to the people. Five rounds in total, don't skimp on the numbers."

"Clear!"

Cai Cai grinned and said, "Damn... I'm getting excited!"

The fat man was also laughing very happily.

Usually, we're the ones getting tricked; this time, it's finally our turn to trick others!

"Ready, launch!"

At my command, five RPG Rocket shot out from the edge of the forest, trailing fiery red tails. The next moment, the five vehicles surrounded by the wanderers exploded simultaneously, sending five sparks flying!

"Reload, let's go again!"

I quickly loaded the new rockets, swiftly assumed firing position, and shouted, "Fire!"

In the second round, five rockets streaked through the air, leaving little tails in their wake!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

On the snowy plains, five more vehicles carrying supplies exploded, with one of them even exploding while fully loaded with fuel, sending a huge flame soaring into the sky!

"Again!"

I quickly reloaded, aimed at a vehicle rushing out of the flames, predicted its position, locked on, and fired!

"Whoosh!"

The third rocket hit its mark, and the tank was blown up and tumbled into the air in flames!

After that, two more salvos were fired, and the team paid a heavy price of 25 rockets to directly paralyze the roaming group's mobility!

I switched to the Roarer and said in a deep voice, "Charge forward, maintain a distance of about 80 meters, and shoot the remaining wanderers!"

"Superior!"

A well-trained group of people followed closely. When they closed to within 80 meters, they immediately used the trees and rocks in the snow forest to aim at the wanderers in the distance and fired a barrage of bullets!

"You bunch of bastards!"

Amidst the panicked crowd, the burly, bearded white man who resembled a golden lion roared and, wielding a heavy machine gun, unleashed a barrage of fire in our direction. "I'm going to kill you all!"

I frowned, quickly aimed at his head, and gently pulled the trigger. Eight bullets exploded in quick succession, instantly splitting his head open like a bursting watermelon—a gruesome sight.

After that, the Roarer would target any enemy who dared to show their faces, shooting them down with just a few bullets. These wanderers were all level 40 ordinary enemy units with only 4,000 health points, and the Roarer's firepower could take them down with just a few bullets.

In a short time, under the combined attack of us and the Crimson Dragon Country soldiers in the camp, this formidable army of wanderers suffered a crushing defeat!

"Walk!"

I immediately switched to the Explosive Gun and said, "Approach within 40 meters and begin clearing the battlefield!"

"Superior!"

Several people rushed out, and when they were within 40 meters, my Explosive Gun began to show its firepower. I used explosives directly, and the bullets exploded in the crowd, killing a group of wanderers who cried out in pain!

"Enough, enough!"

Finally, a young wanderer, his face covered in blood, roared, "You've killed so many of us, isn't that enough? Spare us! Stop killing us!"

Cai Cai frowned and said, "Now you know to beg for mercy? Where did your arrogance go?"

"You bastard!"

The young wanderer roared, "What did we do wrong? I was just trying to survive in the wilderness, to get some food and ammunition. Are we really so guilty?"

As he spoke, he said angrily, "You bunch of bastards from the Crimson Dragon Country, you live a peaceful life behind the border, worrying about nothing. Have you ever thought about how difficult it is for the people in the wilderness? We can't get Crimson Dragon Country ID cards, nor can we get protection from the Crimson Dragon Country. All we can do is eke out a living in the cracks. You..."

The next second, I aimed the Explosive Gun directly at its head and fired three shots in quick succession!

"1524!"

"1515!"

"3066!"

The head that was speaking cynically just a moment ago exploded into a pile of shreds the next second!

"Kill them all!"

I immediately rushed out, Explosive Gun in hand, and shouted, "Fatty, Kou Mei, you two are the lowest level, clean up the battlefield! Hurry up, don't waste time talking to them, kill them all!"

"Good!"

The fat man immediately grabbed his Explosive Gun and started firing wildly at the wounded and defenseless wanderers, turning them into Experience Points for himself. The Kou Mei did the same, showing no mercy.

Minutes later, a group of several hundred vagrants was wiped out, the flames from the explosion were still burning, and the smell of burning corpses lingered everywhere.

"Damn, it smells awful..."

The fat man, carrying Explosive Gun, frowned. "This game is fucking realistic; even the smell of burning is simulated so convincingly."

"No..."

Cai Cai looked at him suspiciously. "Fatty, you don't really think these people are NPCs, do you?"

"Isn't that right?"

"I'm afraid not..."

Cai Cai said, "I even suspect that there are no NPCs at all in <Star Abyss>, and that everyone is real, and this has been proven many times."

"Ding Han..."

The fat man was shocked and turned to look at me. "Is that so?"

"Almost."

"Then what I just did was..."

The fat man turned to look at the corpses whose heads he had shot, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He frowned and said, "Were all the people I just killed living, breathing people?"

"Otherwise what?"

I smiled faintly and patted his shoulder, "Remember, there is no right or wrong here, only positions. We are from the Crimson Dragon Country Kingdom, while they are the Wanderers. The Crimson Dragon Country is not large enough to accommodate all the Wanderers, so the Wanderers have made the Crimson Dragon Country their target for plunder. We are enemies, so killing is killing. Just accept it as soon as possible."

The fat man stood there dumbfounded, speechless.

He had never killed a chicken in his entire life, so it was a bit hard for him to accept that he had just killed real people.

But every player who enters <Star Abyss> must face this situation. As for me, I had already figured it out when I left the Dark Tide base: I can't be soft-hearted; I must kill when necessary to avoid bringing trouble upon myself.

"Gentlemen..."

In the camp, a captain stepped forward, gave us a standard Crimson Dragon Country military salute, and said, "Thank you for your timely assistance. Otherwise, our camp would have suffered a great loss. These vicious roamers... they were simply too audacious to openly attack our Crimson Dragon Country's camp. In short, we owe you a great debt of gratitude!"

The reward will be distributed in the next second!

[Congratulations! You have completed the battlefield mission "Relief" (Rank B). Rewards: 600,000 Character Experience, 500 Reputation Value, and an additional reward: "Dimensional Expansion Crystal" (Expansion Space: 0.5 cubic meters)!]

The reward is alright!

600,000 character experience points, 500 Reputation Value, and 0.5 cubic meters of Expansion Crystal —compared to the loss of 5 rockets, it should be considered a small profit!

"Gentlemen..."

The captain looked at us and asked, "May I ask which city in the Crimson Dragon Country you come from?"

Huaining City.

"Oh..."

The captain nodded and smiled, "So you are Super Weapon Master from Huaining City. Thank you for relieving my camp's predicament. However... I have a very important matter to attend to. I wonder if you would be willing to participate in the operation?"

My heart skipped a beat; there was a follow-up mission!

"Sir, please speak!"

He revealed a solemn expression and said, "Our camp is a temporary supply station. Just now, we received orders from Gale Fortress, which is under attack by aliens. However, our camp has just suffered heavy losses in a major battle and is unable to Reinforce Gale Fortress. Therefore, we hope that you can go to Gale Fortress immediately to participate in the combat operation there."

A system bell immediately rang in my ears.

[Your squad has accepted a support mission: [Reinforce Gale Fortress] (Rank A)! Mission objective: Immediately proceed to Gale Fortress. After resolving the crisis at Gale Fortress, you will receive a very generous reward!]

The fact that this task doesn't specify detailed rewards means there are endless possibilities.

On the large map, a dark red marker slowly appeared, indicating the location of Gale Fortress, which the mission was targeting. It was about 30-50 kilometers away from us, a long walk away, but fortunately we had an off-road vehicle.

So the five of them returned to their off-road vehicle and drove straight to Gale Fortress!

An hour later, a human base appeared in the distant wasteland.

Gale Fortress, a medium-sized base, was surrounded by flames from afar, under attack by a large number of alien species. These aliens, like ants, were constantly trampling over the corpses of their comrades as they frantically assaulted the outer walls of the base.

"Holy crap, this is something else..."

Cai Cai frowned and asked, "What should we do?"

"Parking."

I pointed ahead and said, "Fatty, park the car in the woods. Don't damage it; we can't afford to pay for it."

"Damn it..."

The fat man said speechlessly, "You really know how to manage money."

Ruolin and Kou Mei and chuckled.

I looked towards the base and said, "If we attack from the outside, we'll easily be surrounded by the alien army. It would be better to climb up the cliff behind the base and jump directly inside. I've measured it; the height from the cliff to the base is about 10 meters. With our jumping ability and health, we won't die from the fall."

"Try something this difficult?" The fat man was a little timid.

"Screw you, let's go!"

So, the group bypassed the alien army and climbed directly up the mountain behind the base. When they reached the top of the mountain, a gust of cold wind made them shiver.

"Damn, it does look a bit tall..."

I took a deep breath, aimed at the base wall to my side and below, and said in a deep voice, "I'll jump first!"

Be careful!

The next second, he pushed off the ground with both legs, charged forward a few steps, and his body floated out, rushing directly into the base. He then slammed hard into the ground, his body rolling to dissipate the impact, and the damage number "3223" floated above his head.

"Only 3000+ damage from the fall, no problem, everyone jump!"

"They're here!"

In the air, figures fell one after another, each losing a significant amount of health points, but overall they were unharmed. It was quite safe within the base, and they could now farm monsters without taking any damage!

He turned around, stood with a group of soldiers from the base, pulled out Explosive Gun, and began firing a barrage of shots at the area outside the city.

"Damn, that feels so good..."

The fat man was overjoyed. As a low-level Firepower Specialist, he loved this way of killing monsters, where he could focus on aiming and shooting. It was much safer than killing monsters in the wilderness!
