Chapter 349: Why Won't You All Just Cooperate?

"The Faceless player seems to have no intention of developing at all; she has built several helicopters and is flying toward the base of player Yun with her Executors!"

"Player Yun is still developing naval units; will she realize it!?"

"The situation is extremely critical; player Yun's half-built Tank Factory has already been destroyed!"

"The Executors are still dealing damage!"

"The Combat Bunker has been destroyed!"

The male commentator roared passionately on the stage. Could the scene of a 2,500th-ranked player pulling off an upset against the 4th-ranked be about to happen? No, although Yun Mu looked like she was about to lose, she had not given up! She sold all buildings except for the Command Center and the Shipyard, then controlled the Command Center to transform and initiate Ascension, while simultaneously canceling the Submarine currently under construction.

She had the Shipyard begin construction on the unit 【Shanyin Cruise Ship.】

【Silver Flash Cruiser: A mechanical unit specialized in anti-air, capable of intercepting and shooting down all aerial units.】 (Cost: 1200)

Yun Mu controlled the Command Center to flee toward the sea, while the Executors and Armed Helicopters pursued closely behind the Command Center.

Fortunately, the Command Center had high health and thick armor, and by the time it flew to the side of the Shipyard, it still had one-quarter of its health remaining.

The Silver Flash Cruiser had already finished construction and was guarding beneath the Command Center.

Airui Laya attempted to force an attack with her helicopters, but the Silver Flash Cruiser unleashed a single volley of missiles, destroying her three helicopters and instantly sobering her up, forcing her to control the helicopters to retreat.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Yun Mu immediately had the Silver Flash Cruiser escort the Command Center as it flew toward another island closest to her.

As for going back?

Airui Laya's Executors were still on the island; going back now would definitely result in being blown to bits.

In order to assemble this rush, Airui Laya's economic development at home definitely could not be very good.

For a short time, she did not need to worry about the opponent landing another punch.

Yun Mu had the three previously built Submarines move to the side of Airui Laya's base island, monitoring the sea surface in that area.

Without a Shipyard, it seemed relatively safe.

The Command Center landed successfully, and Yun Mu rebuilt a Repair Worker to begin repairs on the low-health Command Center.

Then she built a few more Repair Workers to redeploy the buildings.

With the island surrounded by the newly produced Silver Flash Cruisers, there was no need to worry about Airui Laya repeating her old tricks.

"Hmm?"

The Submarine docked near Airui Laya's base transmitted a visual feed.

An Armed Helicopter was flying toward her original base; it looked like Airui Laya intended to establish an expansion mine there.

Dream on.

The Shipyard left behind there had not been dismantled yet, so Yun Mu immediately had the Shanyin Cruise Ship guarding the Shipyard move to attempt to shoot down that Armed Helicopter.

Then the opponent circled around and successfully landed on the island.

Never mind then.

It didn't matter; she still had a backup plan!

Two Flash Silver Fighters took off from the base and flew rapidly toward the initial island.

There, a Repair Worker was building an Ore Refinery; upon seeing Yun Mu's Flash Silver Fighters approaching, it immediately tried to return to the Armed Helicopter to escape.

Hmph, want to escape? The two Flash Silver Fighters crossed paths in the air, their dense barrage of fire pinning the Repair Worker down so it couldn't move, before dropping bombs to blast it into a pile of scrap metal.

"Da-da-da-da."

After shooting down the opponent's Armed Helicopter, the Flash Silver Fighters successfully returned to base.

At the same time, two blue Amphibious Transport Ships drifted in from afar.

Upon reaching the island, over a dozen Executors, one Flash Silver Tank, and two Repair Workers immediately emerged from them.

Airui Laya wanted to open an expansion; why wouldn't Yun Mu? After clearing out the Executors Airui Laya had left on the island, Yun Mu rebuilt an Ore Refinery in the original location.

Meanwhile, Airui Laya attempted to build a Shipyard on the sea.

It was discovered by Yun Mu's Submarine. With the support of the Flash Silver Fighters' bombing, it didn't take long for this Shipyard to be dismantled by Yun Mu's Submarine.

So, one still has to fight for control of the sea on this map.

Because once the sea is occupied by someone, it is very difficult to take it back.

The economy of a single island is clearly insufficient to develop follow-up technology.

But without control of the sea, wanting to go to other islands to open expansion mines is impossible.

The cost of an Armed Helicopter is too expensive for the early game, and Airui Laya had focused on a rush.

There was only one Mining Vehicle in her base.

After the rush failed, she could only wait for this one Mining Vehicle to slowly mine and develop.

Although Yun Mu appeared to have been crushed, she had a larger reserve of funds, so her recovery speed was also fast.

Furthermore, the map's sea surface was controlled by her; Airui Laya had no possibility of winning at all.

She placed down a Combat Laboratory and then researched the unit 【Aircraft Carrier.】

【Aircraft Carrier: The hegemon unit of the ocean, capable of controlling fighter squadrons or launching missiles to attack designated buildings or units.】 (Cost: 2000)

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Dozens of small planes took off from the Aircraft Carrier's deck, braving the anti-air fire in Airui Laya's base to blow up her Radar.

Just as Yun Mu intended to continue the bombardment, Airui Laya chose to surrender directly.

It seemed she had already realized there was no need for this match to continue.

"The Faceless player has chosen to surrender. It seems that on this map, controlling the sea is indeed more important. Let us congratulate player Yun!"

Congratulate my foot; congratulate me on holding onto my fourth-place position?

Just after stepping out of the Duel Pod and hearing the male commentator's words, Yun Mu muttered to herself in her heart.

Actually, when she first saw Airui Laya's helicopters coming, she had been quite panicked.

Fortunately, she thought of a solution on the fly.

That was a close call. Glancing at the Duel Pod opposite, Airui Laya had just emerged from it as well.

Upon noticing her gaze, she smiled and waved at her.

Uh, she was probably smiling; the other party was wearing a Mask, so she couldn't tell.

Seeming to have no intention of chatting, Airui Laya turned and left after finishing her wave.

I really can't figure out what she's thinking.

Shaking her head, Yun Mu returned to the contestant waiting area.

"I just knew Miss Yun would win in the end!" After Yun Mu returned, Brenna immediately clenched her fists and said.

"Well, can't help it, who told my strength to be right here." Yun Mu touched her nose, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Struggling so much to beat the person in last place, and you have the nerve to brag about your strength?" A somewhat familiar voice reached Yun Mu's ears; she turned her head to look and discovered that the person speaking was actually Vivian.

Hey, are you the type of character who says lines like that!?

Did you get the character setting wrong?

"Negative. Facing that Faceless Lady's fast attack, Miss Yun's countermeasure was already very effective." Talitaluosi, who was following beside her, spoke up at this moment.

"..." Giving him a cross look, Vivian sat down beside Yun Mu.

"Boring, I just wanted to try speaking like that."

"Can't you all cooperate with me a little?"
