219: Chapter 219 Collective Expedition
"The losses are too great."
Luo Li sighed, "400,000 normal Players were wiped out, and even several team leaders were wiped out."
Chen Fan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, once we sweep Gang Yao Metropolis, we can obtain a massive amount of supplies. Then there are the system rewards; it will be enough."
"That's all we can do. Where are you going?"
"I'm heading to City of Sin; the Crew Member seems to have discovered something."
"Hmm, then be careful."
Luo Li gave a simple greeting and returned to the front lines to command the Players.
The other six women, knowing Chen Fan had things to attend to, very obediently went to help Luo Li.
Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief and summoned 996 and 9527 over.
"996, do you need to go back and parasitize a new host?"
996 nodded, "Yes, if I don't parasitize, I will consume source energy."
"Source energy? What is that?"
"I don't know."
"Alright..."
Chen Fan took out two glass bottles, each containing 10 points of energy, and fed them to them.
There were only 150 points of holy radiance crystal energy left. If he couldn't find a source of energy, he would have to target the Commander-in-Chief of the reinforcements.
After all, these two little guys needed to be constantly fed energy.
He also put a pinhole camera on 996 and watched as it wiggled its butt into the teleportation array.
Chen Fan chuckled and sat on the Mechanical Dragon.
The dragon's roar sounded again.
Amidst the envious gazes of the 400,000 Players, Chen Fan flew away quickly on the dragon.
Although the dragon was flying, it was essentially a warship and could receive the speed bonus of the Counter-Attacker.
Its original speed of 200 meters per second soared to 600 meters per second.
In just over an hour, he would be able to reach City of Sin.
Watching the Players methodically sweep the shallows, Chen Fan nodded slightly.
With so many elites from District One assisting, Luo Li would have a much easier time commanding, so he didn't need to worry about that side.
Chen Fan turned off the images shared by Jiu Jiu and the others, and opened the Crew Member monitor.
Several Crew Members in City of Sin were stuck in a strange position and couldn't move.
The other Crew Members who wanted to rescue them were also stuck, and the remaining ones stood by and watched.
He controlled the Crew Members to turn around, and a dark space came into view.
"Could this be the hidden passage?"
Chen Fan's eyes lit up slightly as he waited quietly for the dragon to fly.
At the same time.
The World Channel was in an uproar.
After this operation was declared a complete failure, the leaders of each district tallied their losses and were immediately furious.
In the regions with better situations, 30,000 out of 100,000 elites were lost, and over 200,000 normal Players were lost.
But for districts like 1861 and 1945 that had newly joined, nearly half of their elites were lost.
The loss of normal Players was as high as 600,000!
After this battle, the strength of the entire district was cut by more than half, and they had no gains; how could they accept this?
At the beginning, Setting Sun promised that for this encirclement operation, they would take none of the spoils and would also provide some compensation for their losses.
According to him, since District One was moving in one direction with such fanfare, they must have discovered a new dungeon.
District One had already demonstrated many times before how generous the rewards for pioneering a new dungeon were.
Not only that, Setting Sun also explained the plan for this trip to them in detail.
He listed the previous strength of china one by one and provided solutions.
The final conclusion was: District One will definitely perish this time!
So, under this double temptation, they were bewitched and joined the team to encircle District One.
But they never expected that.
They assembled eight districts, with over ten million Players.
They spent more than twenty hours traveling a long distance, aggressively surrounding them.
As a result, in less than three hours, they were beaten to a pulp.
This made them feel both angry and amused.
Damn it, with your amateur skills, who gave you the courage to provoke District One time and time again?
That terrifying annihilation ship, didn't you say that it didn't have enough supplies and could only fight two or three waves?
Damn it, their firepower never stopped from beginning to end.
Every time it surfaced, 300,000 Players lost their lives!
Not to mention that monster flying in the sky.
I don't even want to mention it; just looking at that thing takes years off your life!
Consequently.
Players from several districts started cursing District 3300 directly on the World Channel.
"Front row roasting District 3300. They lied to us saying they had a perfect plan to annihilate District One. Damn it, in reality, as soon as we went over, we were beaten to a pulp."
"Is their plan called a plan? It's just screwing people over; from the first step to the last step, everything is wrong!!"
"The most hateful thing is that these jerks lied to us saying there was an orderly retreat. But they ran away in a swarm and used us to cover the rear."
"Let me tell you some gratifying news: Setting Sun was not wiped out, but logged off."
As soon as these words came out, all the Players were in an uproar, and messages on the World Channel scrolled rapidly.
"What?!! Did Setting Sun really log off?"
"Holy crap, really? Isn't he the leader of District 3300? Wouldn't he run when encountering danger?"
"Don't kid me. When the Night Instance opened, it was said that death in the dungeon means being wiped out, not logging off."
"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious yet. Don't let Setting Sun come out and slap you in the face in the next second."
"Wait, wait! Earlier in their live broadcast, did the tentacle in the sky move?"
"Holy crap, it seems to be true! I saw it."
"Could it be that Setting Sun was sanctioned by the tentacle? That thing killed someone and forced them to log off?"
"@District 3300, @Setting Sun, is there anyone coming out to refute the rumors?"
"Yeah, if no one refutes the rumors, we're going to take it for real."
"..."
However, no matter how much they scrolled the screen.
The Players of District 3300 seemed to have collectively disappeared; no one appeared.
And no one came out to refute the rumors.
The actual situation was that it wasn't just the World Channel.
Even the District 3300 regional channel was terrifyingly quiet.
There was no other reason.
The last message in the channel was sent by Tian Yan:
"Brothers, I'm telling you some unfortunate news: the boss was ambushed by the tentacle in the sky borrowed by china and has logged off."
As soon as this message came out, the breathing of all Players in District 3300 stopped for a moment.
Immediately, they took a deep breath, rubbed their eyes, and looked at the top of the regional channel in disbelief.
There, Setting Sun's avatar had turned gray.
Although some people had discovered it before, they didn't believe that the boss had logged off, thinking it was due to some special situation.
It wasn't until Tian Yan came forward to confirm it that they believed this cruel reality.
