156: Chapter 156 Despair, Running Away

The fire from nearly 20,000 warship cannons and 70,000 to 80,000 Gatling guns ignited the night sky.

The scene of ten thousand cannons firing at once appeared again.

Inside the livestream, everyone held their breath and widened their eyes.

They didn't want to miss a single second.

More than 20,000 cannonballs exploded in District 9999 first; the ordinary Players no longer had the supplies to repair their ships.

A few with sharp instincts exited the dungeon the instant before their warships were destroyed.

More warships were blasted apart by artillery, their data wiped to zero.

"I'll slaughter you! Die for me!!!"

Xiao Luo looked at the thinning warships around him, his expression ferocious.

However.

Just as their cannonballs were about to tear the fleet apart, something terrifying happened.

Flashes of light appeared, and the pirate ships that had spread across the entire sea area vanished instantly.

"What?!" Xiao Luo was shocked.

The next moment, a roaring sound erupted.

Most Players subconsciously felt that their ship cannons couldn't damage the destroyer, so most of them aimed at the pirate ships.

Of the artillery fire filling the sky, only a very small portion was aimed at the destroyer.

More than ninety-nine percent of the missiles exploded in the sea.

Chen Fan only consumed twenty thousand energy focusing crystals to withstand this round.

The firelight dissipated, and the blood mist lingering in the air gradually fell into the sea.

The Players were surprised to find that only one destroyer remained in the entire sea area, while all other pirate ships had vanished into thin air.

"What's going on? Were all the pirate ships blown to pieces?"

"If your ship were blown to pieces, would there be nothing left but the shell?"

"Before the cannonballs exploded just now, did a flash of light appear in that direction?"

"Seems like it. Damn, how eerie."

"..."

Due to the poor lighting at night and the low frame rate of the livestream, the Players didn't immediately understand what had happened.

Only Xiao Luo, Mad God, and a very small number of Players with strong observational skills saw this scene.

In the group leader chat.

"Bo... Boss, did their ships just disappear in an instant?"

"Damn it, I saw it too. Is this haunted?"

"@little luo, Boss, should we..."

Some squad leaders were already thinking of retreating.

After all, the scene before them was too eerie; the ships in the entire sea area had vanished in an instant.

Aren't NPCs part of the dungeon? How could even they disappear?

Could it be that NPCs can also leave the dungeon?

Xiao Luo gritted his teeth; his reason told him that leaving as soon as possible was the right choice.

But with all the Players on the server watching, it was hard for him to issue a retreat order.

He took a deep breath, and just as he was about to speak, light flashed again.

ghost ships appeared, one after another.

Every time the light flashed, dozens of pirate ships appeared in the sea area.

The livestream chat exploded instantly.

"What the hell, is it haunted?"

"Brother, you can be obscure, but you can't be supernatural. Look at this thing; does it look like something from the living world?"

"Mom, I'm scared!"

"I've figured it out. This damn pirate ship fleet is controlled by china. If he wants the fleet to appear, it appears. If he wants to retract it, he can do it instantly."

"Right, right, right! I slowed down the recording many times. The moment the missiles hit, those pirate ships disappeared simultaneously."

After saying this, the person even posted the slow-motion clip of the recording.

After watching it, the Players felt a chill down their spines.

Just then, ten thousand ghost ships gathered again.

"Fire!"

Kuka brandished his great blade and let out a roar.

In an instant, over twenty thousand cannonballs arrived with a roar.

Rumble—

Nearly ten thousand patrol boats were wiped out.

Xiao Luo's eyes were bloodshot.

In District 9999, they were organized into groups of ten; the 100,000 Players who followed were almost all at the group leader level.

So far, more than 30,000 group leaders had been lost, and behind them were 300,000 ordinary Players!

Once they are supported again, it will be equivalent to 300,000 Players losing their combat effectiveness.

This loss was too great for him to bear.

"Fire at them!"

Xiao Luo roared hoarsely.

The group leaders froze for a moment, then gritted their teeth and continued firing.

More than ten thousand warship cannons and tens of thousands of Gatling guns fired in unison.

Fireballs of various sizes streaked across the night sky once again.

"Still coming? Heh."

Kuka sneered and triggered the retrieval command.

In an instant, the ten thousand ghost ships disappeared again.

Boom, boom, boom—

The sea surface was churned up by the explosions.

This time, more people got smart; the warship cannons were aimed at the destroyer.

Chen Fan spent a full 50,000 energy focusing crystals, along with massive amounts of basic supplies, just to keep destroyer No. 2 intact.

The smoke cleared.

The destroyer appeared alone amidst the smoke and fire, letting the waves crash against it, motionless.

"Fine, you're awesome; you're the number one player in the game. From now on, I'm running away the moment I see you."

"@china, Great Sage, please withdraw your supernatural powers."

"We're done playing. You can play this game by yourself."

"I, the vice district head of District 7788, hereby declare that china will forever be my strict father. In the future, when I see china, I will kneel immediately. Any hesitation would be a sign of disrespect towards china."

"To the person above, I kneel as well."

"Kneeling directly +1."

"Kneeling +10086."

"10086. You knelt for me too, so what am I supposed to kneel for?"

Seeing the pirate ships disappear again, the Players were amazed and simultaneously issued a death warrant for District 9999.

How is anyone supposed to fight this?

When you focus fire, they disappear. When you load your cannonballs, they appear and focus fire on you.

Are you playing guerrilla warfare here?

However, a few people thought of the key point of the problem.

These ten thousand pirate ships are likely bound to the destroyer. As long as you focus fire and destroy the destroyer, this tactic will be broken.

But for now, the people of District 9999, whose brains were occupied by anger and fear, couldn't think of this.

Xiao Luo gritted his teeth and glanced at Mad God beside him.

"Three minutes left."

Mad God took a deep breath, his face livid.

He had originally wanted to run away, but after being humiliated like this, he actually dismissed the idea of running.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill them!"

"Mad God, don't be stupid. They can dodge your skill too."

Xiao Luo roared, startling Mad God back to his senses.

Mad God gritted his teeth, "Damn it, china, next time I will definitely kill you!"

"This time we were caught off guard. Next time, with proper planning, they won't be our match."

Hearing the sound of engines from the sky, Xiao Luo took a deep breath.

He knew this operation had completely failed.

"Exit the dungeon!"

He roared in the channel, and Xiao Luo was the first to leave the dungeon.

The Players of District 9999 reacted belatedly; they looked at the sky, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

"Exit the dungeon!"

"Exit!"

"Exit..."

Low shouts rang out one after another, and lights flashed repeatedly.

Before long, the remaining Players of District 9999 had all left the dungeon.

In the world channel, the number of livestream sources decreased rapidly.

The Players noticed this and exclaimed:

"Is District 9999 running away?"

"Haha, everyone, look at these idiots. They opened ten thousand livestream rooms, clamoring to block china, but ended up getting beaten until they were pissing their pants."

"What losers. Why didn't china sink little luo? Are these kinds of people worthy of being on the leaderboard?"

"Exactly. If it were me, I would have found a piece of tofu to bang my head against and die long ago."
