209: What exactly went wrong in Chapter 209?
"Jiu Jiu, get ready."
Jiu Jiu's eyes lit up, and she blinked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan also smiled.
Given the tacit understanding between him and Jiu Jiu, there was often no need for words; a single glance was enough to understand each other.
Upon receiving the reminder from Chen Fan, Aurell quickly ascended into the clouds and flew back toward the main force.
More than twenty helicopters also followed from a distance, but they kept trailing several hundred meters behind.
"It seems they've figured out that the range of the anti-aircraft guns is 500 meters."
Chen Fan chuckled, not surprised at all.
Given Setting Sun's combat intelligence, if he couldn't even figure that out, he would have already been done for last time.
Thinking back to last time, Chen Fan narrowed his eyes.
To this day, he still didn't know what Setting Sun's Talent was, or why he could use multiple different skills.
"Let's see how you escape this time."
Chen Fan sneered and gave Jiu Jiu a look.
"The casting range isn't enough; it's still a few hundred meters short."
Jiu Jiu shook her head, her eyes fixed on the approaching helicopters.
"800 meters." "500 meters." "50 meters." "That's enough!"
Jiu Jiu let out a soft shout and spread her arms.
Suddenly, a massive black hole appeared in the sky, instantly engulfing over a dozen helicopters.
The remaining dozen or so, unable to turn in time, crashed headlong into the black hole.
"Now, Aurell."
"This Great Master does not need your commands!"
Aurell roared, pushed his speed to the limit, and quickly closed the distance.
"Anti-aircraft guns, fire!"
Rat-tat-tat-tat—
Even though they were firing artillery shells, the extremely high rate of fire made them sound like machine guns.
Suddenly, sixteen rounds of attacks erupted simultaneously, blasting the twenty-plus helicopters into fragments.
"What?!" "Bro, wait a second. If I recall correctly, isn't that black hole a skill from the Union side?"
"Holy crap, is there a traitor in the Union?!"
"Isn't this screwed? We couldn't beat them to begin with, and now that one has defected, it's even more impossible."
"To the guy above, what do you mean defected? This is called 'a wise man submits to circumstances'!"
"..."
Setting Sun's pupils contracted sharply as he stared in disbelief at the sky ahead.
"A black hole? Isn't that Union's skill? Didn't Union go offline?!"
Sky Eye was also stunned. He opened his friends list, checked it repeatedly, and finally said with a gloomy expression:
"Union is confirmed offline, but why is his skill here?"
Setting Sun's eyes flickered, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he constantly scanned the District One camp.
"We've studied this before; S-rank Talents of this level are basically unique."
Sky Eye took a deep breath, his eyelids twitching constantly, "That means..."
"They, or rather china, stole Union's Talent!"
The two exchanged looks, both seeing horror in the other's eyes.
Can Players' Talents even be stolen?
If this is true, then china is truly ahead of all other Players.
Or rather, when did china figure this out?
If they knew it all along, how many invincible Talents do they possess now?
The two gasped, their expressions complex.
A moment later, Setting Sun gritted his teeth: "No matter how many types he has, we must destroy him."
"Right, otherwise there will be endless trouble!"
A cold glint flashed in Sky Eye's eyes, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure:
"Wipe out the main force in their region, return to the Mainline World, and our 100,000 elites will sneak toward District One to capture china alive and force him to reveal this secret. I can already roughly sense their location."
"Good, let's solve the matter at hand first." Setting Sun nodded and looked ahead.
"Watch out for the eerie warship; it should be appearing soon."
"Yeah, it's fine. One round is only about 100,000 cannon fodder; it's no big deal."
Everyone thought that Setting Sun was the only irreplaceable person in District 3300.
But only the two of them knew that Sky Eye was actually the greatest contributor to District 3300.
As the mastermind of District 3300, all key decisions were made by him.
Moreover, as long as he possessed materials that had flowed out from the other side, his eyes could sense their location.
While Players in other regions were still fighting alone, relying on Sky Eye's Talent, their region's core Players had already started teaming up back in the sailboat era.
And just as Sky Eye expected.
After searching for a long time, Chen Fan selected the area with the most core Players and controlled the annihilation ship to surface.
Just as the Union Players were exclaiming, the annihilation ship finished surfacing and began its first full-power fire after loading the annihilation pulse emitter.
Boom-crack-crack— Bam-shaka-laka—
A mushroom cloud, three times larger than the last one, spread out with the annihilation ship as the center.
All the Players watching the live stream felt their scalps tingle as they saw the massive mushroom cloud rising.
"This eerie warship is even more ridiculous than last time, right?"
"Damn it, the mushroom cloud last time wasn't this big. It's grown two times larger this time!"
"Wait, the guy above, you said two times? Holy crap, his combat power rose from 2 billion to 5 billion earlier, right? Could it be that this warship evolved?"
"Very likely..."
"This combat power is increasing too fast; who can handle it?"
"We worked so hard just to upgrade to a Large Patrol Boat, and he can wipe out hundreds of thousands in one round? How are we supposed to play this!"
"Everyone, don't be too pessimistic; look at the bright side. This eerie warship most likely only exists in one unit, otherwise, nobody would be able to play."
"That is to say, only he alone can possess it? You call that the bright side? You, above, come here; I won't hit you."
"..."
While everyone was discussing, the smoke cleared, revealing a large vacuum zone.
The annihilation ship had already submerged to reload.
"Bo... Boss, we've lost 250,000 cannon fodder."
"How many?" Setting Sun frowned and roared.
"250,000... That volley of his wiped out 250,000 warships."
"Hiss..." Setting Sun rubbed his temples. He felt his head aching.
No, where exactly did the process go wrong?
The first step was 70-plus aircraft leading the attack, that's correct.
The second step was the pirate ship sneak attack, that's also correct. The number of pirate ships went from 10,000 to 30,000, but that didn't affect the situation.
Although that helicopter wasn't destroyed, the cannon fodder in the back was enough to block it.
The third step, the eerie warship reaping the cannon fodder, that's also correct, right?
But damn it, why did something go wrong with every step after the first one?
Damn it, what happened to the promised 100,000 warships per round? Why did it suddenly become 250,000?!
Setting Sun's temples were already aching from him rubbing them.
