Different World Card Master: Change the World with Cards

311: Significant advantagesIt is truly a pity. After all, the flesh and blood of high-level beasts contain higher energy content. If they could be used, they would provide a greater boost to humans, and perhaps we could even cultivate superhumans.

One can only hope that the Research Institute will eventually find a way to make the energy inside the flesh of high-level beasts absorbable by humans.

Speaking of beast meat, Xu Bai smacked his lips. The dried beast meat he had eaten before was quite delicious. After this war, there would surely be a lot of dried beast meat made, and he would ask them for some later.

”By the way, it snowed yesterday. Is this environment good or bad for us?”

”Of course it’s good. It snowed last night. We buried the landmines while it was snowing, and then it snowed all night. The snow erased all traces of our activities, so it’s difficult for the beasts to avoid the landmines underground by following our tracks.”

...

The scene that followed was just as Wu Yunshan had said.

It showed the beasts stepping into the minefield, triggering a series of explosions. Immediately after, a new batch of drones flew over, headed toward the gathering of beasts, and finally exploded when they reached the middle of the herd.

It could be said that the timing was controlled perfectly, encompassing as many beasts as possible within the explosion range.

Of course, the drones were also blown to smithereens, but compared to wasting a bomb, losing a drone was more acceptable.

However, these exploding drones were different from the previous ones. These drones were likely made by low-star Card Makers and only had basic flight functions, so the cost was very low, and it wasn’t painful to see them destroyed.

The previous action was just an appetizer. The beasts in front were the vanguard, mainly meant to test if there were buried bombs on the road. Only after this batch of beasts passed would the real main force enter.

Xu Bai then saw elephant-like beasts, two stories tall with long trunks, appear.

Wu Yunshan kept his eyes fixed on the screen and continued, ”I didn’t expect them to send out the high-level beasts so quickly.”

”Was this unexpected?”

Wu Yunshan nodded and then explained the reason to Xu Bai.

”In previous Beast Tides, the first to be affected would be the low-level beasts. Among the low-level beasts, those with small body sizes are the most numerous, so in the early stages, we mainly rely on a large amount of ordinary ammunition to attack them.”

”Next would be the mid-level beasts, and only later would it affect the high-level beasts. I didn’t expect them to use a low-high-low distribution of beasts to attack this time.”

Wu Yunshan immediately saw through the beasts’ intentions.

The beasts intended to use the low-level beasts in front as cannon fodder to clear the way while probing for ambushes in the ground.

Then, they would have the high-level beasts resist, destroy the city wall, and simultaneously block the bullets aimed at the low-level beasts behind them.

You have to know that their current bullets cannot penetrate the defenses of high-level beasts. If they want to attack these high-level beasts, they need to change weapons.

However, that was the way to deal with such situations in the past; now, there are other countermeasures.

”Then what should we do?”

”Get the snipers into position and start the attack.”

Mr. Number Eight’s order and Xu Bai’s question rang out at the same time.

The answer was already out, so Wu Yunshan didn’t repeat it. Then, as if thinking of something, he gave Xu Bai a thumbs up. This thumbs up was to show affirmation of Xu Bai’s research.

The main accessory for this Sniper Rifle, the scope, was thanks to Xu Bai. Now, these beasts are very far from the city wall, within the range of the Sniper Rifles and drones.

The weapons mounted on the drones don’t have enough power, so they have to rely on the Sniper Rifles.

After a round of sniping, the beast side was a bit chaotic.

After all, if the high-level beasts died so easily, then dealing with these low-level beasts would be even simpler.

But for some reason, their chaos didn’t last long. Soon, they continued to move forward, only the remaining high-level beasts retreated, and the low-level beasts behind them moved forward.

Xu Bai guessed that a higher-level beast must have issued an order; otherwise, these beasts wouldn’t be so obedient.

Next, the beasts kept moving forward, and the drones kept attacking.

Although it looked like the beast side suffered a loss—after all, the human side currently had no casualties, only the loss of some drones, while many beasts on the other side had died.

But in reality, for the beasts, the lives of those low-level beasts were insignificant. As long as they could achieve their goal, it didn’t matter if all these low-level beasts died.

As the front line gradually approached the city wall, the people on the wall could gradually see the beasts in the distance with their naked eyes, so they picked up their weapons and started attacking.

”Once they reach the designated distance, have the tanks move out.”

Another order was issued.

”Why do the tanks only move out when they reach the designated distance?”

Wu Yunshan: ”Because although tanks look safe, there is still a possibility of being destroyed when dealing with higher-level beasts. Upon reaching the designated distance, within this range, the tanks operate below, and the people on the city wall can provide cover.”

Xu Bai nodded to show he understood.

The tanks, those steel behemoths, charged towards the group of beasts with an overwhelming momentum. The beasts in front had no way to stop the tanks’ advance. The tanks could kill a whole swath of rat-like beasts just by their tracks, and with the assistance of the machine guns and artillery shells above, the human side looked to have a great advantage.

The corners of Xu Bai’s mouth curled into a smile. Seeing these weapons shine in the war, Xu Bai felt very happy.

...

However, they didn’t remain happy for long; a group of flying beasts rushed over.

They didn’t recklessly attack the tanks. Instead, two flying beasts worked together to grab a tank, lift it high into the air, and then casually drop it.

”Thud!”

Although there was no sound in the video, seeing the dust raised by the tank landing on the ground, Xu Bai knew the impact must have been very loud.

Some tanks flipped over, while others remained upright. Everyone’s gaze turned to the tank that had landed upright after falling from a great height.

One minute, two minutes... five minutes.

The tank remained motionless for a long time.

In fact, after one minute passed without any movement from the tank, they knew the people inside were likely doomed. Watching for so long was just holding onto a faint hope in their hearts.

Their gaze turned to the other tanks that had crashed down. They were covered in blood; it was unclear whether it was blood from inside or blood stained from the dead beasts outside.

This scene plunged the monitoring room into a brief silence.

Xu Bai’s eyes were slightly red, and a faint sobbing sound came from beside him. He didn’t turn his head to see who was crying; instead, he lowered his head and wrote down this scene in his notebook, while also recording some things he had just thought of.
