While I was still struggling to survive in the game, large guilds were already occupying bases in different areas and expanding their territories outward from those bases.

At the same time, they had already begun executing a plan called Hummingbird, deploying drones and erecting large land-based communication base stations in the airspace and on the ground of various areas to achieve wide-ranging signal coverage, aiming to realize intercommunication within the game as quickly as possible.

But there was nothing strange about it. After all, the big guilds had more people and more resources. They had unified command and unified dispatch, and could concentrate a large number of people to tackle tough nuts, collect all kinds of weapons, and distribute them to the best people for use.

Su Mo even saw mechs in a post from an elite player in the Brotherhood.

Real mechs, although they looked a bit rough on the outside. But they were indeed the real deal, which made Su Mo's blood boil a little.

In addition, apart from discussing the progress of those large guilds in pioneering new areas, the forum was filled with recruitment posts.

All the guilds were frantically recruiting people.

Some people even spent a lot of money to buy the homepage advertising space on the forum to pin their posts to the top.

"Starlight Guild is heavily recruiting top-tier players for frontline pioneering! Whether you specialize in programming, biology, mechanics, etc., we want them all!! In addition, there is no limit to the benefits for recruiting the top combat players. Bring your combat data and videos to apply. As long as you are strong enough! You can name your own price! Important things said three times, the most top-tier combat players are welcome to apply!! One more thing, if the records are made with heavy weapons, then don't bother applying! We want comprehensive combat players. We don't lack weapons and equipment!!!"

This post already had over a million comments.

"Seeking to join the guild!"

"Seeking shelter!"

......

"Brothers, let's disperse. The standards for recruiting people to this guild are too strict. They're recruiting people with programming specialties, and they actually want real professional certificate authentication, and they also want to be graduates from famous universities. The combat personnel are even more ridiculous, requiring them to be able to take on two or three zombies with cold weapons. I'm already shaking in my legs when I see zombies. It's better to shoot them with a gun. Only idiots would go up and fight them head-on..."

"Don't listen to the idiot upstairs, I joined the guild, and the benefits are really good! Five insurances and one housing fund, and a monthly salary of 1000+, I'm also a white-collar worker haha!!"

......

Su Mo continued to flip through the posts. After flipping through thousands of them, they were all recruiting people.

A strange look could not help but appear on Su Mo's face. He finally understood why Chen Xin of the Wuji Guild had been wanting to recruit him all along. It wasn't just him recruiting people; all the guilds were recruiting frontline combat players. It seemed that pioneering new areas ahead of schedule, in addition to allowing the guilds to expand and develop rapidly, also led to heavy casualties among the elites, who were in urgent need of replenishment.

Dong, dong~

A crisp knock on the door rang out, interrupting Su Mo's thoughts.

He went to the door and opened it. A deliveryman, panting, handed Su Mo the takeout in his hand.

"Sir, your takeout."

"Thank you."

Su Mo took it, closed the door, and then returned to the computer.

While eating the takeout, he browsed the forum, finding it more and more interesting. So far, the strongest monster discovered was the Type II mutant monster. It was said that this monster had already exceeded the scope of conventional cognition.

It had terrifying radiation on its body, and ordinary weapons were trash in front of it. Some even became paralyzed as soon as they approached.

At the same time, the density of its body tissues was abnormally high, capable of resisting high temperatures and heavy blows.

And they also controlled a kind of thermal radiation energy, which could be released in different forms.

It was simply a nightmare-level large biological carrier weapon.

However, it was said that neither the Type I nor Type II mutants should be besieged on a large scale. Because the human-wave tactics that players were so proud of were not only ineffective against them, but might also cause worse results.

For example, in this post that Su Mo was browsing, the president of a small guild was complaining on the forum about how stupid the people he recruited were.

Their guild occupied a small town. The guild had a very cute girl, and she took a group of big men to besiege an elite monster, but all the members were wiped out.

Then this girl went back to the guild to shake people, endlessly leading people to their deaths.

Unfortunately, he wasn't online at the time. By the time he went online, almost everyone in the guild was dead.

That wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that after absorbing enough kindling, that elite monster directly evolved into a Type I mutant. The entire town was directly ruined, and he could only escape with his people like a stray dog.

Below was also attached a photo of a middle-aged man with a haggard face and a face full of stubble fleeing. As a result, in the corner of the photo, there was a girl with big eyes who looked quite cute, making a V sign.

In the post, countless players replied.

"Appraisal completed, she is indeed a cute girl."

"If the poster doesn't want such a cute girl, then let her come to me."

"Is this the beginning of a Mary Sue drama of loving and killing each other? I'm in love! I'm in love!"

......

Su Mo could not help shaking his head.

After a player was killed by the opponent, the kindling power on his body would be absorbed by it. The more the mutant absorbed, the faster the injuries on its body would recover, and it might even evolve and become more terrifying.

But if there were too few people to besiege it, then it was very likely that they would be killed due to insufficient firepower.

Therefore, there was now a very painful problem, that was, the choice of teammates was very important. A strong combat team could not allow too many rookies, otherwise they would not only be unable to carry them, but they would also坑 (kēng - deceive, trick) themselves to death.

Su Mo browsed the forum for a long time, and finally it was dawn before he stopped to rest.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Mo returned to Xingyou Cafe in high spirits.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Su Mo, is it the same old spot?"

Xiao An maintained a bright smile and greeted Su Mo who was walking over.

"Yeah."

Su Mo swiped his card and went up.

Xiao An looked at Su Mo's back as he went upstairs, somewhat fascinated.

"Don't look, people have already gone upstairs. It's time to change shifts, and you should go online too."

Xiao Kui playfully popped out from behind and said to Xiao An.

"Okay."

Xiao An replied with a smile.

On the other side, Su Mo returned to his private room. He skillfully lay down in the game pod and slowly closed his eyes.

When Su Mo opened his eyes again, he appeared on the third floor of the stadium. However, Su Mo, who had just logged in, could not help but frown. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong. The safe zone was usually very noisy, but now it was quiet to an unnatural extent.

He vigilantly observed his surroundings, and after confirming that there was no danger, he slowly walked towards the glass partition in front of him. He walked to the edge and carefully looked down. ノ亅丶說壹2З

At this time, on the central playground of the stadium, thousands of players were squatting with their heads in their hands.

Ten fully armed players, all holding rifles, were aiming at the confined players.
