155: Chapter 155 The Strategist's Great Idea
"It seems that's the case. I remember the introduction at the start of this mode said that once all the NPCs in the game die, the game ends."
"If we don't die, we can indeed keep holding on."
"Great idea!" Wang Ye clapped his hands. Why hadn't he thought of that?
They had been trapped in a misconception: trying to use the limited time to build these things and counterattack the Little Devils.
But how could it be that simple?
They simply couldn't achieve such perfection.
The best result would be to evacuate together with all the players.
With so many players, once they left Nanjing, they could still accomplish something.
Most importantly, there wouldn't be the pressure of the Little Devils bearing down on them.
As the saying goes, "As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood."
As long as they were still around, they could absolutely launch a counterattack.
Since they couldn't achieve perfection in such a short time, why not settle the score with the Little Devils later?
Mobilizing the strength of all players to move everyone out of the city—that wasn't impossible.
When the audience in the livestream room heard Li Qingfeng's words, they suddenly realized the truth.
"Damn, that makes sense."
"We have so many players, there's no need to fight the Little Devils to the death."
"As long as we have enough time, we can definitely develop, and then we can just strike back at the Little Devils' home territory. Isn't that even better?"
"Strategist, this plan has great potential. Brother Wang, if you guys are really going to do this, count me in."
"Me too!"
"I originally thought this mode wasn't that interesting, but now that you put it that way, I'm going to buy it."
After figuring it out, the audience in the livestream room immediately got excited.
The prospect of changing the game's ending and beating up the Little Devils made them excited and thrilled just thinking about it.
Originally, they had always been thinking about whether they could change the outcome of the Nanjing Massacre.
But after trying for so long, none had succeeded.
Because the time was too short.
If the game had started one month before the Battle of Nanjing.
Then they would have had enough time to produce.
However, the game started only six days before the Battle of Nanjing.
This time was too short; just building the production line was already the limit.
Let alone actually producing anything.
The China in the game had absolutely no industrial foundation.
They couldn't even buy a decent machine in Nanjing city.
Because the war was nearby, machines that could be bought before were no longer available during wartime.
That wasn't even the hardest part; the hardest part was the lack of raw materials.
It wasn't a lack of money, but rather that there weren't many raw materials locally.
"Since that's the case, there's no need for us to keep fighting to the death here. We can study how best to evacuate Nanjing city," Li Qingfeng immediately said.
"I know a few streamers who have been researching how to evacuate ordinary civilians from Nanjing from the very beginning, but they couldn't evacuate everyone. I can contact them, and we can cooperate with them." Wang Ye's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately.
Qian Fei, who was standing nearby, listened to the two of them and then spoke up.
"I don't know about anything else, but if we evacuate Nanjing, and if there's enough time, I can improve this bullet production line and increase ammunition output."
"Good, then I'll leave that to you." Wang Ye nodded.
Immediately after, Wang Ye looked toward the livestream room.
Then he saw the excited barrage comments from the audience in the livestream room.
"Brothers, help me contact Su Feng and his group and tell them about our idea."
When the audience in the livestream room heard Wang Ye's words, they immediately understood what he meant.
Subsequently, they went to the livestream room belonging to this person named Su Feng.
At this moment, Su Feng was in the game.
Just as Wang Ye had said, Su Feng and a few like-minded streamers were evacuating the civilians of Nanjing together.
After so many days of playing, they had already figured out the best evacuation plan.
Although they still couldn't evacuate 100% of everyone, they could evacuate most of them.
For the very few who were unwilling to evacuate, they could only respect their fate.
After all, if they were unwilling to leave even when dragged, they could only let them be.
At this time, Su Feng saw the barrage comments from the audience in his livestream room.
After reading these comments, his face immediately showed astonishment.
"What? Cooperate with us?"
The audience in the livestream room heard his confusion and immediately answered him.
"Yes, Brother Wang wants to cooperate with you to evacuate Nanjing and then set up factories outside of Nanjing."
Seeing these comments, Su Feng immediately understood what the situation was.
After a moment, he immediately grasped Wang Ye's meaning.
Su Feng was also aware of the plan that Wang Ye and his group had been insisting on.
It was just that time was too tight; there wasn't enough to produce that many firearms and bullets.
In this amount of time, they were already stretched thin just arranging for the civilians to evacuate.
Let alone opening factories to manufacture firearms.
If it were that simple, they wouldn't have talked about changing to this plan.
But if it meant evacuating Nanjing, that would be different.
"That works. I'll talk to them."
Immediately, Su Feng mentioned it to his companions.
He quickly received the agreement of his companions.
Although their mission of evacuating civilians from Nanjing was quite good, it couldn't do anything about the Little Devils.
It could only avoid large-scale massacres of the civilians.
But there was no way to launch a counterattack against the Little Devils.
If they cooperated with Wang Ye and his group, they could continue to develop and counterattack the Little Devils while evacuating the civilians.
If this could succeed, they would definitely become famous.
Very soon, the news of Su Feng and his group's agreement reached Wang Ye.
"OK, Qingfeng, it's done. We can log off now and discuss it with them."
"Alright." Li Qingfeng immediately nodded.
Subsequently, they committed suicide in-game and then chose to exit the current game session.
Seeing this, other players who were also in the game followed suit and committed suicide to exit the game.
Most of them were fans of Wang Ye and his group.
Every time they entered the game, they would match at the same time.
There was a high probability that they would be matched together.
The more people there were, the greater the probability of fans matching together.
The only pity was that there was a limit to the number of players who could enter each server.
It could not exceed one-fifth of the number of NPCs in the game.
However, the number of NPCs in the game was not fixed.
Some players discovered that these NPCs could die on their own, and similarly, NPCs from other places could also migrate to Nanjing.
Therefore, some players speculated.
If they left Nanjing, would the number of NPCs from other places also be counted into the total number of NPCs in the game?
However, no one specifically investigated this because it was too troublesome.
Even if they could count them, no one was that idle to do so.
Such servers could be opened by the thousands every day.
It was impossible to count them all.
At this point, Wang Ye and his group, having logged off, immediately pulled Su Feng and his group into a game room.
This mode allowed for creating rooms, and it was even possible to form a team of one hundred people.
However, forming a team was one thing; after entering the game, they would still be separated randomly.
And there wouldn't be any function to display the teammates' locations.
The only purpose was to be able to invite acquaintances to form a team, which could satisfy the need for a group of friends to play the game together.
