134: Chapter 134: The Students' Strategies

On the map, red dots represent students, and blue dots represent robots.

It could be clearly seen that the red dots were constantly spreading outwards.

Some red dots moved in groups of three or five, while others moved individually.

Basically, every red dot was closely pursued by several blue dots.

"This is simply a one-sided slaughter! Commander, how long do you think we could last if it were us?" an instructor beside him asked.

"If the number of robots was roughly equal to ours, or the numerical difference was small, we might be able to cope.

But if there are too many, it won't work.

You have to understand, although 240 students against 1200 robots appears to be a 1 to 5 ratio on the surface, in reality, it's far from it.

As more and more students are eliminated, the pressure on the remaining students will become greater and greater.

Even if a few students manage to hold on for a longer time, the final outcome will be nothing more than being besieged by thousands of robots.

Do you think they could possibly survive in such a situation?" Rong Po analyzed.

"So, it seems either most of them survive, or it's highly likely not a single person will survive?" the instructor beside him asked.

"Yes.

However, I believe they will quickly realize this," Rong Po said, looking at the screen.

Sure enough, on the first day of the survival challenge, 95% of the people failed to last more than 2 hours.

The remaining dozen or so people, although they successfully eliminated a few robots at first, were wiped out in minutes under the siege of thousands of robots that subsequently arrived.

After everyone was "eliminated," the day's exercise ended.

Result: Battle duration 3 hours 20 minutes, 5 robots eliminated.

The 1200 robots returned to base after completing their mission.

After all, it was the first day of the live-fire exercise, so it ended relatively early.

The instructors came to the gathering points of each team and summarized today's battle.

Based on the day's rankings, everyone re-adjusted their teams.

Supplies were then distributed.

But they had no camp to stay in and could only find their own shelters.

Early the next morning, the 1200 robots were released again.

Today's battle was much more orderly than the first day.

The top-ranked teams lasted for a long time, but ultimately, they were outnumbered and completely wiped out.

Result: Battle duration 4 hours 30 minutes, 18 robots eliminated.

The instructors once again adjusted teams based on individual rankings, summarized, and distributed supplies.

Third day's result: Battle duration 5 hours 10 minutes, 31 robots eliminated.

Fourth day's result: Battle duration 5 hours 20 minutes, 38 robots eliminated.

...

Until the 15th day, the battle situation changed.

After half a month of being abused, the top 10 Diamond Teams united.

They chose a narrow street and ambushed in the buildings on both sides.

The 10 teams totaled 60 people.

Due to the larger number of people gathered, at the start of the morning battle, they attracted over 300 robots.

First was the street fight.

After the robots arrived, everyone opened fire at the same time, concentrating their firepower on a single robot.

In a few seconds, a robot's health bar was emptied.

Followed by the second, then the third.

The robots were also very fast; they didn't have time to eliminate them all and quickly retreated into the buildings.

They had previously placed layers of cover and obstacles in the stairwells, retreating upstairs while looking for opportunities to eliminate the enemies charging at the front.

Just like that, the 13 survivors successfully lasted 24 hours for the first time.

A total of 547 robots were eliminated.

But the next day, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Many of the Diamond Team members had not yet recovered their strength when the battle began on the second day.

They no longer had the strength to fight and were quickly eliminated.

Therefore, on the sixteenth day, the battle ended unusually early.

All the students gathered together and held a big discussion.

"This won't do.

The number of robots is already five times ours.

If each of our teams acts alone, we will be quickly eliminated.

As a result, fewer and fewer people will survive, but they will face more and more robots.

It's as hard as climbing to the sky to last 24 hours!"

"I agree.

Unless all of us can ensure our survival as much as possible to share the firepower, otherwise, we have no chance of winning."

"That's easy to say, but what do we do?"

"All of us must unite and act together."

"Alright, you tell us how! We'll listen to your command!"

Everyone was not pretentious and jointly elected a Commander.

"All of us will be divided into 4 echelons: Diamond Team as the first echelon, Gold Team as the second echelon, Silver Team as the third echelon, and Bronze Team as the fourth echelon."

"We will choose this east-west street as our battle location.

There's a bridge here, which is a must-pass for the robots.

We will first arrange two echelons to ambush on the other side of the bridge, waiting for the robots to enter range, then concentrate fire together to eliminate a batch first.

Once the robots are within 100 meters, everyone will quickly retreat backward.

At the same time, the other two teams will provide cover and launch a second round of attack.

And so on."
