Silicon Invasion

"Any discoveries?"

In the war room, everyone looked gloomy. The entire battle lasted barely two minutes. When the five waves of black wolf packs surrounded them, the team couldn't even withstand a single charge.

Although this was because the team only had three main combatants, there was still a huge gap to clear the level.

"No…"

Lin Xinxin and Zuo Kun exchanged glances and silently shook their heads.

"Is that so…"

Niu Wei nodded with a gloomy expression, but he didn't blame the two of them.

The battle was too short, and the early probing led to the loss of too many drones. Even if it was only an area of three kilometers in radius, it was too difficult to explore it completely in just a minute or two under those circumstances.

"What about Tong Yue and Wang Mingyue? Did you two find anything?"

Niu Wei was on the front line of the battle, his vision completely occupied by the black wolves, so he didn't notice anything useful. And Warrior 7 fired two more shots than him but died even earlier, so his situation was probably similar to his.

But what if? So Niu Wei still asked with hope.

Unfortunately, the answer was as expected; there was no such luck.

Watching the two of them shake their heads, Niu Wei muttered again: "Is that so…"

The team fell silent. They had three challenge opportunities, and if the first one only yielded the current information, then they wouldn't even know which aspect to focus on in the second one. Wouldn't the first opportunity be wasted?

"Oh right, what about Luo Rui?"

Luo Rui, as a reserve member who hadn't participated, had been like an invisible man until now when someone finally remembered him.

Everyone's eyes lit up. That's right, how could they forget Luo Rui?

In fact, sitting in the spectator seat, Luo Rui might have seen some things more clearly than those involved because he didn't have the pressure of operating.

Looking at the expectant gazes, Luo Rui frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "I haven't fought many battles in this mode. I noticed that the roars of command from the depths of the forest came from different directions several times. I calculated that the black wolves couldn't move to another location so quickly. So, can a pack have multiple leaders?"

Hearing Luo Rui's words, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Theoretically, a pack only has one leader." Niu Wei first gave Luo Rui some knowledge. A group only having one leader is the general rule, but according to some records and expert research, sometimes when the ruler has a very good relationship with his brothers, such as twin brothers who have experienced some hardships together since childhood, even if they are intellectually inferior beasts, it is possible for a pack to have two or even multiple leaders.

But this is a simulated battle, and the map creators shouldn't be so bored as to add such a melodramatic setting.

So…

"But no one said that the five waves of black wolves are from the same pack." Tong Yue's voice suddenly rose, thinking of a possibility.

"That's right, maybe they are five packs, only each pack has fewer members." Lin Xinxin nodded in agreement.

"Does this have any impact?" Luo Rui was a little puzzled. He looked at the obviously excited expressions of the others, not understanding why.

"Just like the creatures on Blue Star, even within a pack, there is competition. We have been looking for possible third-party forces to see if we can use their strength to our advantage, but it seems we have entered a misunderstanding. The black wolves themselves are the third-party force."

The understanding big sister Tong Yue patiently explained to Luo Rui. Seeing that Luo Rui still looked puzzled, she continued: "The black wolf packs are not harmonious with each other. When facing a common enemy, they may unite under the constraint of the leader, but once the leader dies and the constraint is lost, they may start fighting among themselves."

"This must have a premise, that is, they find that the enemy they are facing is very棘手." Lin Xinxin added.

"If we can kill several of the black wolf leaders and show that we cannot be taken down in a short time, while killing and injuring as many black wolves as possible…" Niu Wei nodded while thinking: "According to the habits of the black wolves, they attack other species only to obtain more survival resources. And those dead comrades also belong to the category of food, while the seriously injured comrades are about to become food. Given the huge gains and the threat of foreseeable losses, they may really leave with the food they already have."

"But even so, how can we kill them?" Tong Yue raised the key question.

"Hmph, let alone kill them, we can't even find them, don't forget about the crimson gold beasts." Wang Mingan, who had been silent, poured cold water on them at the right time.

The situation was indeed like this. The team couldn't even defend themselves, so where would they have the spare capacity to split up and kill the black wolf leaders?

"It's too early to discuss these now, we must first confirm this information." Zuo Kun offered constructive advice.

Niu Wei nodded. As the captain, he pondered for a moment and then began to issue orders.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"Xinxin, how much area do you still have to explore?"

"About 54% of the area."

"Very good, we will still use the same configuration as last time to enter the challenge, Xinxin, Zuo Kun."

"Here!"

"You two use half of the drones to explore the unknown area, and then use the other half to take a good look at those wolf packs. Do they all have leaders? Are there any problems?"

"There are crimson gold beasts guarding the area around the wolf packs. It's a bit difficult for our drones to get close…" Lin Xinxin said with some difficulty.

Exploring the remaining area is simple, but the crimson gold beasts are not so easy to deal with. They hide among the trees, and it is difficult to detect and prevent them before they attack.

"Think of a way, don't be afraid of losses…" Niu Wei didn't have any good solutions either.

Luo Rui scratched his head, then raised his hand, as if a primary school student was asking a question, applying to speak.

"I see that it is almost impossible to see the difference in the process of the black wolf packs marching. However, the leaders generally do not take action when attacking. We can do the first confirmation from the number." Luo Rui could not hear Lin Xinxin's team voice from the spectator's perspective, so he did not know the specific number of wolf packs.

Niu Wei nodded: "Indeed, this is easy to do, Xinxin, pay attention to check."

This was indeed not difficult. When the black wolves rushed to the front of the team, even without drones, Shun Feng's own high-power radar scanning system could easily count their numbers.

"Any other suggestions?" Niu Wei turned to Lin Xinxin and instructed her, then looked at Luo Rui again with anticipation.
