The Last Sentinel

A cold wind blew in my face, and all I could see was white.

It's not that my eyes are completely black, it's that my eyes are completely white.

The white glaciers stretched endlessly, the frozen river was as smooth as a mirror, and white snowflakes fell leisurely from the sky. The cold wind carried the snowflakes and hit the cheeks of the eight hundred warriors. Only one question remained in their minds: Wasn't this supposed to be a real-life battle royale? Could they win if they survived?

"Boss, I think we've come to the wrong place."

"There are no enemies pointing guns at us here."

There are no resource points either.

"This is a completely different game from PUBG."

A kind-looking man gazed at the vast snow-covered plain before him, somewhat bewildered. "This looks like a wilderness survival scenario, and a winter version at that! Such a desolate frontier landscape makes me want to recite a poem: 'The cold wind blows in the desolate valley…'"

Behind them, Brother Eighty, shivering from the cold, punched the man on the shoulder. "You idiot! You need to understand you're just a player, not a game designer. You don't need to know all this stuff! And you certainly don't need to learn poetry!"

A bald, burly man behind him said to Brother Eighty, "Boss, what's our next move?"

Brother Eighty said, trembling, "Find the locals."

The bald man asked, "And then?"

Brother Eighty shouted, "Die!"

The bald man said, "Does the boss mean to kill them?"

Looking at the seemingly intelligent man, Brother Eighty said earnestly, "Xu Chu, with our numbers, do you think we have a good chance of winning by taking them down on their turf?"

Xu Chu crossed his arms and considered seriously, "To be honest, last season, in the SLG annual finals, Tiger Fool Dian Wei and I held off twelve fully-equipped, high-level battle teams from [Jiangdong] at Hulao Pass! That battle was incredibly exhilarating!"

The simple-minded man behind him blushed, raised his hands high, and shouted, "Awesome! The fight is awesome! The fight is just too awesome!"

Looking at his two subordinates, Brother Eighty covered his face with his hands, feeling an urge to commit suicide.

Damn it!

Those two idiots!

I initially thought it was just a silly character in a game.

Who knows that reality is even more abstract than games!

It's hard to imagine that my "Support the Han Dynasty" server, which was riddled with corruption, maintained its dominant position thanks to these two idiots.

At this moment, one by one, the combat crew members of the Human Alliance came over. They were all on high alert, holding stone axes in one hand, carrying wooden javelins on their backs, wearing animal skin aprons, and underneath which were full-life seal thermal underwear.

"Sir!" said the leading member of the Alliance crew, "Our ship is now a wreck, we must find a place to land as soon as possible."

Brother Eighty nodded, "That makes sense. We should find a Neanderthal settlement as soon as possible."

The Human Alliance crew member hesitated for a moment. "Sir, shouldn't we be giving way to the Neanderthals?"

Brother Eighty was stunned for a moment. "Avoid? I avoid the Neanderthals' brilliance? Are you kidding me!"

Behind him, Dian Wei said arrogantly, "Who is my brother? He's the biggest spender in SLG games, the guild leader who has topped the rankings for three consecutive years, and all those small fry forces have to give way to him. Doesn't my brother have any dignity?"

Xu Chu exclaimed, "Fighting is exhilarating! Fighting is exhilarating! Let's fight! Big brother! Let's fight!"

Brother Eighty waved his hand, "Let's go! Let's set off and charge towards the nearest Neanderthal settlement! Today, we'll fight to the death!"

The twenty-seven members of the Human Alliance combat team had black lines written all over their faces at this moment. What the hell?

Are the side effects of Compound No. 5 really that stimulating?

Did they realize we're playing away from home?

Do they know that Perfect City is a super heretical force that the Human Alliance and the Earth Alliance have been unable to suppress for two eras?

This is war, folks!

This isn't a video game!

So what if you're the guild leader?

Even a powerful sniper like Sentry is just a banned minion here.

At this moment, Brother Eighty had already led Xu Chu and Dian Wei to the front of the group, constantly calling out to those behind him, "Hey, what are you twenty-seven people doing? Follow me!"

Dian Wei also yelled, "What are you dawdling about! Aren't you supposed to be official combat personnel of the Human Alliance, geniuses chosen from among millions? Is this all the action you've got?"

Xu Chu curled his lip, "They're not even as efficient as our alliance's road-paving team. I really miss the road-paving team; they could do a whole season for eighty dollars! It's a pity they weren't selected. Otherwise, we could have worked together, one of us paving the roads and the other handling the combat—what a perfect team battle rhythm that would have been!"

Dian Wei said, "Blame the boss. He's spending millions feeding that ingrate, Alliance Leader Hua Xiaobai, but he won't even give 800,000 to the road paving team..."

Enraged, Brother Eighty yelled, "Shut the hell up! I want to fight right now, don't give me that nonsense!"

Behind them, the twenty-seven combatants of the Human Alliance exchanged glances and then followed.

There was nothing else to it; they simply discovered that this continent was truly unfriendly to them.

These geniuses in the Human Alliance all have at least one attribute rated A on their stat panel, and A-level attributes represent a qualitative breakthrough compared to ordinary people.

For example, with the A-level insight attribute, under Homo sapiens surface conditions, a person with the A-level insight attribute can clearly see a flea the size of a sesame seed from ten meters away. People with the A-level insight attribute also have good night vision ability; even in pitch black night, their vision is the same as that of an ordinary person during the day.

Now, after entering this secondary icy ancient continent, the combatants discovered that their A-grade, which they relied on for evolution, had completely degenerated, directly becoming B-grade or even lower.

I have completely degenerated into a vulnerable state that I could never have imagined for myself.

Moreover, the longer he stayed on this continent, the more he experienced various negative effects of weakness, such as shortness of breath and a rapid heartbeat.

Conversely, let's look at Brother Ba, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, who took Compound No. 5.

These three individuals showed absolutely no signs of the madness, self-harm, autism, or neurosis characteristic of Compound V...

They were even very excited, walking faster and faster, their steps becoming more and more agile!

The cold wind blew on the three of them, but it felt like a spring breeze on their faces; they didn't feel the cold at all!

Brother Eighty even unbuttoned his shirt, letting the icy blizzard blast against his chest, but he laughed heartily, "This little breeze feels great!"

Dian Wei glanced at the shivering combat personnel behind him and shouted, "Are you all cold? Why are you all like little quails!"

Xu Chu said, "If you're afraid of the cold, just follow behind us! The paving team probably doesn't even have a single red card, and they haven't bought any monthly pass packs! That's understandable!"

The Human Alliance combatants were frustrated and puzzled. As the pride of humanity and one of the 100,000 geniuses, they were now being treated like weaklings. If they were on the ground, they would definitely show these three the excellent elimination challenge mechanism within the Human Alliance!

But now, these three people's physical condition is becoming more and more abnormal. It is estimated that the three of them can beat up all twenty-seven of them!

After a long and arduous journey, the thirty men were surprised to find that, just as their twenty-seven followers were about to freeze to death, a snow-covered fortress suddenly appeared before them. Frost covered the city walls, and wisps of smoke could be faintly seen rising from the tall white watchtowers.

"Found it!" Dian Wei shouted. "Boss, we've found it! The Neanderthal city!"

Xu Chu said, "Boss, I'll lead the way!"

But Brother Eighty took the lead, kicking Xu Chu aside, shouting, "Get out of here! Don't try to take it from me! I'll do it! This time I'm going to be number one! History books are divided into five elements, the family genealogy is divided into separate sections, here I come!"

Brother Eighty and his men charged menacingly to the foot of the Ice and Snow Fortress. The three were shocked to find that the fortress gate was five stories high, larger than the ordinary city gate of Homo sapiens. Even more terrifying was the city wall, which was at least seven or eight stories high!

The three people standing below gave the impression of ordinary people who had accidentally wandered into a land of giants.

At that moment, a deep growl came from the rooftop, "Are you the Homo sapiens army?"

Xu Chu roared, "That's right! If you have the guts, come down and duel! Do you dare to accept the challenge?"

The other party asked, "How many of you came?"

Brother Eighty said, "Thirty!"

After a moment of silence, the other party's voice turned menacing, "As expected, an ant colony is just an ant colony, always thinking of using numbers to bully the few! Forty thousand years ago, you Homo sapiens defeated us with sheer numbers, and now you're trying the same trick again! But we Neanderthals are no longer afraid of your tactics. Our entire Perfect World has over a hundred thousand followers! Even if you send three hundred thousand, we won't be afraid!"

Brother Eighty blinked and shouted towards the lookout, "Thirty, no ten thousand!"

The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

Brother Eighty shouted, "Thirty! Not ten thousand! We only have thirty men! Come down here and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

The other side roared, "Bullshit! You Homo sapiens are despicable and vile! You're trying to lure us out to surround and annihilate us, aren't you! We won't fall for it!"
