Chapter 891: The Current State of the Pacific Federation
"Beep. Detected departure of Earthling Su Yu from the Nuclear Warfare Headquarters. He is about to arrive in Los Santos."
In the command room of the massive spring in the Rocky Mountains, AI Syblue's voice echoed in Janet's ears.
"Understood. Continue monitoring Su Yu's movements," Janet replied.
"Got it, Syblue will keep an eye on him."
The notification faded, and Janet continued to focus on the large screen in front of her.
The screen was filled with countless small dots, with the background being a map of the entire Pacific Federation.
Green dots represented their forces—surrendered factions of Earth and their leaders.
Red dots were the enemy forces, with the most prominent dot being Su Yu at the Nuclear Warfare Headquarters.
Additionally, there were large areas of yellow and gray dots.
...
In the command room, the base commander, Monk Sun, was also seated there.
With his arms crossed, he seemed idle as he asked Janet, "Janet, how do you plan to command this battle?"
Monk had pursued Janet three months ago, admiring her beauty and brilliance.
However, Janet had always managed to slip away, and over time, he had given up on his pursuit.
Janet, hearing Monk's question, stared at the screen and said, "This battle is actually quite simple. I just need to control the rebels, ensuring they maximize the destruction of civilians and critical infrastructure before the Earth Coalition Government can eliminate them."
She pointed to the yellow dots on the screen with her right finger, "These yellow dots represent players in the Pacific Federation who have achieved Third-Stage or higher manifest power. Eliminating these players during the destruction of civilians is the top priority.
At the same time, power plants, hospitals, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure must not be spared."
Monk nodded and sighed, "It's a shame that Gordon, whom we trained for six months, had to be sacrificed."
"Indeed," Janet also sighed softly.
Who could have predicted that Earthlings would manage to infiltrate the Sun Palace and steal intelligence?
...
As Janet and Monk conversed, the gray dots (civilians) on the screen continued to disappear, along with the yellow dots mixed among them.
Each disappearing yellow dot meant that a player with manifest power had been completely eliminated.
And the rate of elimination was even faster than expected.
In Los Santos, Autlan, Old Silver Mountain, East Seattle, and other major cities, the surrendered factions, clad in mechs and armed with high-energy weapons, fired laser beams and launched high-energy bombs at residential areas and skyscrapers.
Buildings crumbled under their attacks, and the people caught in the crossfire screamed and died amid blood and fire, with casualties mounting without end.
The scene was reminiscent of the "Gravity Funnel" incident in Japan, with the only difference being that the killing efficiency of these surrendered factions was far less than that of the monster horde.
The Pacific Federation's defense system was completely ineffective against these rampaging rebels.
Before the attacks began, the Pacific Federation's defense system had already been completely paralyzed.
There were no forces to stop these rebels, who were free to wreak havoc in the cities until they ran out of ammunition.
...
The total number of rebel forces was around 20,000.
Fifty percent of them were scattered across major cities in the Pacific Federation, bombarding buildings and densely populated areas.
The remaining fifty percent were gathered outside a large district in Los Santos called "Krypton."
The large district known as "Counterstar" was named so due to Su Yu, the top player in the game. In Counterstar, over 95% of the residents are players who have already manifested abilities and reached the third tier or higher. Additionally, at least half of the Pacific Nation's top 1,000 players reside here, making it a hub for the game's elite.
The reason for this concentration is a series of policies enacted by the Pacific Nation four months ago, which encouraged the strongest players to move into the district for free. At that time, these players were still weak and had not yet manifested their abilities, making them vulnerable to even a single gunshot.
The government not only provided them with free housing but also the best security systems and ample supplies, which attracted many high-tier players to the district.
Similar policies exist in other nations, and they are not unusual.
However, now, due to the presence of these high-tier players, Counterstar has become the primary target for the rebel army. Over 10,000 rebel soldiers, either in individual mechs or aboard fighters and floating combat vehicles, descended upon the district en masse.
Upon reaching the airspace above the district, they immediately dropped high-yield bombs, aiming to obliterate all the high-tier players within.
Most of the players were still in the game when the attack began, completely unaware of the incoming threat. They were vaporized in the barrage of explosions, their bodies reduced to ashes.
Those who managed to receive warnings in the game and quickly removed their helmets, fled their homes in a panic, but their chances of survival were slim. Many were cut down by high-energy weapons as they tried to escape.
The yellow dots representing players on Janice's screen began to disappear one by one, wiped out by the relentless barrage of explosions.
The Blue Star Coalition government's response was swift. As the rebels opened fire, the coalition's military, particularly the Air Force, took immediate action, launching toward the Pacific Nation. The defense systems were down, so the coalition's troops had to depart from the Indian Nation and the Atlantic Coalition to reach the Pacific Nation.
Despite the delay, the Air Force was expected to arrive within an hour or two. In the meantime, the rebels had already laid waste to the district, leaving it defenseless and vulnerable to further attacks.
Thus, only Su Yu had the ability to save the entire district. He left the nuclear headquarters and used the "Portal" spell to teleport to the outskirts of Los Angeles.
The city was under attack, and even from outside the city, Su Yu could hear the constant barrage of explosions. Without hesitation, he flew directly toward the source of the explosions, choosing to avoid risk any trap by the enemy. Instead, he opted to use the "Portal" spell to teleport to the outskirts of Los Angeles.
Flying forward, he arrived the city, the explosions continued the relentless and the rebels were relentless. In the heart of the city, he arrived at one of the explosion sites.
Several soldiers in crude mechs, having just destroyed a building, were preparing their weapons and planning to bomb another building nearby.
Su Yu, without any second thought, used the "Portal" spell, teleporting directly into the heart of the city. He appeared at one of the explosion sites, where the rebels were still in the process of setting up their weapons and preparing to bomb another building.
