Girls und War

Hibernation pod area.

Rows of immersive holographic network pods connected to several large terminals. Like a "human graveyard" from a science fiction film, this place was filled with thousands of dormant devices.

Xia Shu was very familiar with this type of hibernation chamber. Lying inside it would connect him to the holographic network.

However, according to the Cyber ​​Reality Interference Act, the degree of simulation of all civilian holographic network worlds is not allowed to exceed 80% of the real world.

In other words, the differences between online communities and the real world can be clearly seen.

The worlds of various games are absolutely not allowed to be exactly the same as the real world.

Of course, military equipment is excluded.

The military hibernation capsule here can simulate the spiritual world connected to the brain exactly as it is in reality.

In this way, the hibernation capsule can be used for soldier training.

Huaqu has now applied for a training area in this area and is preparing to conduct simulated battles.

The recruits looked excited and seemed to be looking forward to the upcoming battle game.

They followed the squad leader's instructions and lay down in their hibernation capsules.

Natsuki closed his eyes, waiting to be immersed in the illusory reality.

Several mechanical tentacles connected to her wrists, ankles and chest and began to monitor her condition.

Then, a covering device covered her eyes.

A wave of sleepiness came over Xia Shu, and he immediately relaxed his body and fell into a light sleep.

When I opened my eyes again, I was already in the virtual world.

A data panel appeared in front of me, showing a large amount of infiltration data.

Xia Shu read a few that he could understand and took notes.

The time flow rate is 1:1, the map is fixed, the simulation is 100% realistic, the perception is 100% simulated, and dangerous situations pop up automatically.

After reading it, she turned off the data display.

Then the surrounding data lines slowly condensed into a virtual image.

The picture eventually formed a small room.

She stood in the room fully armed.

All around them were the other members of Class 3A, lined up in front of the water.

That’s right, this virtual battle will be led throughout by the squad leader.

This made many recruits feel much more relaxed.

Xia Shu was also happy to be lazy and slack off.

Seeing them all log in, Shuibian immediately ordered, "Stand at attention!"

The girls subconsciously stood still with their guns.

"Let me briefly explain," Shuibian said. "I've already mentioned this virtual battle before, so I won't repeat myself here. I'll just remind you that the pain simulation you'll feel is 100%. So be prepared for the pain you'll feel after getting hurt."

They all swallowed nervously when they heard that.

"Unless you suffer fatal injuries, the neural network will not sever your mental connection. If you don't want to suffer too much, try to minimize the injuries. Do you understand?"

The girls shouted, “Got it!”

Shuibian nodded and continued, "Follow my orders and follow the tactical gestures I taught you before. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a virtual battlefield. You won't die. Just play normally."

After that, she pointed to the battle map in the center of the room.

"This is the battlefield we'll be on. Take a look."

The girls lowered their heads and looked at the optical projection in front of them.

A square venue with their respective birthplaces on both sides.

About ten meters apart on each side, there is a straight road leading to the opposite side.

The straight road is more than 20 meters long, and there are several obstacle walls and sandbags on the road that can block bullets.

But the height is only half a meter, which cannot completely block the body.

At the very center of the two straight roads, there is a small path connecting the left and right sides, which can be passed.

Each person has three magazines, which means ninety rounds of bullets.

There were no throwing objects prepared on the battlefield to prevent the tactics from being too complex and changeable for the new recruits to handle.

But there is a small knife that can be used for close combat.

They wore bulletproof vests and helmets, but the protection was of low-industrial standard and there were no bulletproof plates.

Although it cannot stop rifle bullets head-on, it can withstand flying fragments and stones.

"I only have a pistol," Shuibian added, "and my strategic position is 'Commander'. If I die, the game will be immediately declared a loss. So I will command from this position."

As she spoke, she pointed to the center of her own camp.

"The enemy is a squad in a platoon, and I'm not very familiar with them. So strategically we should be more conservative. Five people on each side will defend first. After we have clearly judged the enemy's tactics, we will make tactical arrangements. Any questions?" Shuibian glanced at them.

The recruits remained silent.

Xia Shu raised his hand.

"What's the problem?" Shuibian looked at her.

"I don't understand the criteria for a loss," Xia Shu said. "One is that the commander is killed, and two is that all combat personnel are dead. What does the third one mean?"

She pointed to the winning and losing rules on the ground.

The third item above states that if a player reaches a stalemate on the battlefield and their control over the situation is less than that of the opponent, they will be declared the loser.

"Simply put, when neither side can launch a strong attack, the one who suppresses the other in comprehensive statistics wins," Shuibian explained. "The battle is limited to 30 minutes. Within these 30 minutes, the offensive score must be greater than the defensive score."

Xia Shu nodded.

This is the rule that encourages offense.

Because in the real battlefield, the defender always has an advantage over the attacker. To win, the attacker must consume more combat resources than the defender.

Therefore, in order to prevent the new recruits on both sides from stubbornly defending, it is particularly important to encourage the attack.

Although Shuibian still believed that they would not drag it out until the points were used to determine the winner.

Xia Shu said that there was no problem.

So the groups started to form by the water.

She divided the two battle routes into A and B.

The defenders of line A are Xia Shu, Sheng, Aier, Xiaomian, and Shanmei, which is a combination of one god and four vegetables.

The B-line defenders are Miyu, Jia, Zhanren, Ning, and Nya Nya, which is a combination of relatively high average levels.

In this way, no matter what level the opponent is, neither side will collapse immediately.

"You guys need to defend around Xia Shu and follow her instructions. Do you understand?" Mizube asked Group A.

They nodded.

"Then I will be in charge of Group B. We will communicate at any time if there is any situation. Are you ready?" Shuibian asked in a raised voice.

"Ready!" the recruit answered loudly.

So Zhan Zhan turned around and pressed the button to prepare for battle.

After a while, the front door slowly opened.

The virtual battle officially began.

88. Battlefield confrontation

After the two groups of people entered the venue, the retreat gate was immediately blocked.

What you see before you is a battlefield wall that is extremely simple, incredibly regular, and without any unnecessary decorations.

The ground was also unrealistically flat.

It seems that the company wants them to demonstrate their training level through hard-fought confrontation.

At this time, a big word "Start" appeared in the sky.

Xia Shu instantly got into the state and ran towards Line A at an extremely fast speed.

He whispered hurriedly, "Group A, follow me!"

Aier and his companions haven't reacted yet.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Follow them! Don't be stunned!" Shuibian also urged from the side, "Group B, occupy the advantageous position and deploy defense! Go!"

The girls immediately started running.

At this time, Xia Shu was almost approaching the entrance of Line A.

She had already taken off the safety and loaded the gun.

The moment he appeared at the entrance, the muzzle of his gun was already aimed at the opposite direction.

The high walls on both sides are five or six meters high, and the narrow long road can be seen to the end at a glance.

This road goes straight to the end, a distance of twenty meters, and the birthplace on this side can see the other side.

As long as you seize the initiative, the advantage in one area can be expanded to the limit.

Xia Shu noticed this when he looked at the map just now.

When Ai'er and the others ran over here, Xia Shu was still standing there with his gun aimed at that side.

When they came over, she simply said, "Set up your guns and defend."

So they each found a place to squat behind the wall.

At this moment, at the entrance of the other party's line, a girl walked to the front of the alley without noticing.

She seemed to just want to take a look inside and didn't even raise her gun.

"boom!"

The first gunshot rang out and the girl fell to the ground.

There was a cry of surprise from the opposite direction, as if no one had expected this to happen so suddenly.

The girls here also felt their scalps tingling.

Fortunately, this is not a real battlefield, otherwise they would have to deal with the pressure between life and death.

Xia Shu shot the girl between the eyebrows with one shot, and she was sure that she had been eliminated.

But she still held the gun motionlessly for more than ten seconds, making sure that the other side would not look around, and then she made a gesture towards the water's edge to kill an enemy.

Shuibian indicated that he had received the message.

At this time, the girls in Group B also opened fire.

Warblade fired two shots, then said expressionlessly, "They retreated. They missed."

At this time, the situation on the enemy battlefield was in chaos.

A girl stuck her head out and fell to the ground the next second.

Fortunately, the bloody parts were blurred by digital technology, otherwise the girls around her would have peed their pants out of fear.

Xiao was like this, and their legs also became weak and they dared not even breathe.

The girl who was peeking out on the other side, although not hit, was too scared to peeking out.

"Squad leader! What should we do?" someone cried out in a crying voice.

"What should we do?" their squad leader said helplessly. "What can we do? Didn't I tell you to quickly seize the aiming position? You kept dilly-dallying. Now we can only passively defend."

As she spoke, she directed the girls to crawl over the shelters or lean against the corners of the walls and roadsides, aiming at the exit from all directions.

They waited by the water for a while, letting Xia Shu and the others set up their guns and make sure that the other party would not show up again.
