This Game Is Too Realistic

"I surrender!" Facing the dazzling headlights, Gray Wolf with his hands raised took the initiative to walk towards the north gate of Longevity Town.

The battle around here had ended. From the dense bullet marks on the wall, it could be seen how intense the battle was dozens of minutes ago.

Looking at the broken limbs on the ground, and the blood-soaked snowdrifts, Gray Wolf felt a biting cold deep in his bones.

The guards walking towards him looked at him coldly.

Gray Wolf could feel that they wanted to pick up the gun on the ground and shoot him right there and then.

Gray Wolf couldn’t help but feel fortunate. It seemed that he had made the right bet. The restraint of civilized people made these people reluctant to take action on captives, just like those in the Great Rift Valley.

If it were elsewhere, even if he raised his hands, he would probably end up being hung at the gate of the city.

With such a tragic failure, coupled with the signal flare that was fired in advance, he would definitely die if he went back. And if he couldn’t go back, where else could he go? He wouldn’t be able to run too far in the knee-deep snow.

Surrendering was the only way to survive.

"I surrender." Worrying that these people would shoot, Gray Wolf with his hands raised repeated it, looking at the man who seemed to be the officer of these people, and continued. "Remote Creek Town has a brigade stationed, and I’m just an insignificant mercenary, a cannon fodder sent here to test the water. You’ve won the battle. It’s pointless to kill me, and my death doesn’t mean much to Lion Fang. But if you give me a way out, I might be able to help you win the coming battle."

Wrench stepped forward while wearing his exoskeleton.

Only half of the polymer bulletproof plate on his chest remained, and there were still two crushed bullets embedded in the half of the bulletproof plate.

Wrench stared at him for a while, looked away from his face, and looked at the boy with blood on his face. "Take him to see the administrator."

The young man looked at Gray Wolf with hatred on his face. Although he wanted to smash him into tens of thousands of pieces, he still nodded in compliance with the order. "Yes."

Gray Wolf walked obediently with his hands up and didn’t make any suspicious moves.

He knew that the man behind was waiting for a chance to shoot, and he didn’t want to give him a chance.

After passing through Longevity Town to the South Gate, he saw two trucks surrounded by a group of heavily armed men parked inside. And crouching on the ground were the ambush he had sent to intercept the defenders.

Judging from the relaxed expressions on the faces of the heavily armed survivors, they should not have encountered too strong resistance, and maybe even when they arrived here, the battle was already over. Some people even had the expression of…

Huh? Why do some of them look disappointed?

What made Gray Wolf quite embarrassed was that, among the prisoners squatting on the ground, he happened to see his confidant Wang Tuo.

Wang Tuo, who was squatting with his hands on his head, also saw him.

Their gazes met each other.

Both of them were a little embarrassed and looked away unconsciously.

The next second, a man wearing a dark blue exoframe started walking towards them.

After seeing the exoframe, Gray Wolf finally understood why Wang Tuo was not injured.

Fucking hell!

They even have exoframes.

I’d surrender without putting up a fight too.

No matter how strong an ability user was, it was still a mortal body, and the only real monster that could compete with exoframe was a Deathclaw or a Queen Crackleclaw Crab.

Chu Guang didn’t talk nonsense with this man, looked at his face and asked, "Name."

Gray Wolf bowed his head respectfully. "Gray Wolf, sir."

"Company Leader? Or are you a staff officer?"

"A Company Leader, sir."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Before Chu Guang could open his mouth to ask again, Gray Wolf said respectfully. "The honorable ruler of Clearspring City… Administrator, the bravery of you and your subordinates has completely overwhelmed us. I know that I am not your opponent, so please give me a chance to forsake darkness and come to the light."

Forsake darkness and come to the light? Where did he learn to talk like this?

Chu Guang stared at him for a while, thought this guy was quite interesting, and couldn’t help chuckling, "I don’t mind captives. If you bought your men here to surrender to me from the beginning, I might even find you a chair to sit on. But don’t you think it’s a bit too late to say this now?"

Gray Wolf lowered his head and said. "Sir, I’m just a mercenary. To the people of the Bonechewer Clan, I’m just an outsider who can fight, even if I admire your…"

"It’s already early morning, it’s not the time to tell jokes, don’t waste my time," Chu Guang interrupted him impatiently, staring at him and said, "You have two paths now, go there and squat with the rest of your men, or say something that I find useful."

And then be transferred to squat in another place.

But Chu Guang didn’t say the latter part out.

Working in a brick kiln was slightly more comfortable than clearing the road on a snowy day regardless,

Gray Wolf didn’t dare to hesitate, let alone put forward any conditions, and quickly explained everything he knew.

As Vanus speculated, the marauder brigade stationed at Remote Creek Town 20 kilometers away was not the same group of marauders who attacked Winter Willow Camp and Battery Factory before, but was led by a brigade commander named Lion Fang.

Since the brigade led by Lion Fang lacked sufficient vehicles, the march was slow, and the pace of the southward raids fell behind Black Snake.

It wasn’t until the first blizzard in the southern River Valley Province that they reached Remote Creek Town, and had to stop south and camp there to avoid the blizzard.

"... Black Snake has a lot of vehicles, maybe even an Army’s tank, so they marched much faster than us, and arrived at the southern suburbs of Heavenly Water City half a month earlier than the schedule."

"It was originally agreed that after passing through Heavenly Water City, they should follow the plain corridor in the southern part of River Valley Province to the east, go to the Red River Town area to loot, and expand their territory eastward. But they did not follow the agreement, but continued to go south and stretched their claws to the northern suburbs of Clearpsring City... That was originally the territory that the leader gave to Lion Fang."

"Their behavior annoyed Lion Fang, especially since they refused the invitation to hunt together after the rendezvous and planned to act alone."

"So you attacked early?" Chu Guang looked at him and asked.

Gray Wolf nodded. "Lion Fang intends to build a bridgehead on the northern outskirts of Clearspring City before the snow stopped so that the large army can pass through the snow. And I am the vanguard sent by Lion Fang, but now it seems... I should be regarded as cannon fodder."

Chu Guang chuckled, "So you are saying that you are forced to attack us?"

Gray Wolf said with a wry smile. "Sir, before I joined them, I was just a mercenary who exchanged my life for money. Including many of my subordinates, we are just outsiders to them. Our lives are of no importance to them, and being treated as cannon fodder is not a strange thing."

Chu Guang chuckled and didn’t take his words to heart.

The reason why Gray Wolf was there didn’t matter to him at all.

He didn’t care whether he volunteered to come to Clearspring City, or he was sent here as cannon fodder to die.

Chu Guang didn’t bother to verify the truth of such trivial matters.

There were more issues worthy of his attention.

For example…

"You said Black Snake might have a tank? What’s the tank like? How thick is the armor? What caliber is the cannon and what is the tonnage? And… What’s the power source?"

Hearing this series of questions, Gray Wolf said immediately with a blank expression on his face. "I haven’t seen it personally... it’s just that Lion Fang often complains that the leader actually gave that guy a tank, and he didn’t even get an armored vehicle."

After a pause, Gray Wolf continued speaking with a serious look on his face. "Sir, you must be careful, that Lion Fang is a very cunning guy. Although he has the word lion in his name, he is more like a hyena. Besides, the Fang Clan he belongs to is also under the direct command of the Bonechewer tribe. And West Continent City, just north of you, is the home base of Fang Clan!”

After listening to the words of Gray Wolf, Chu Guang had a preliminary understanding of the strategic deployment of the Bonechewer tribe in the southern River Valley Province.

In fact, there was no such thing as deployment.

These marauders who made a living from looting were like savages. They would go raid anywhere that was worthy of looting. They just happen to hold some powerful weapon of civilization in their hands.

After some thought, Chu Guang continued. "I now give you a chance to save yourself. Write down what the brigade at Remote Creek Town has, the number of people, the number of supplies, the route of the patrol, and the defenses including trenches, foxholes, and machine gun fire points, as long as you know it, mark it on the map."

Gray Wolf nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."

After the man was taken away, Chu Guang continued to interrogate several prisoners separately, and the information obtained from them was not much different from what Gray Wolf provided him.

After summarizing the information gathered, Chu Guang summoned Vanus to the temporary command post in Longevity Town and threw the notebook to him. "You were right. Now we are facing two brigades, and that’s probably 2,000 or 3,000 people combined. But the good news is, they aren’t united.

“Lion Fang stationed in the north has about 1,500 people under his command, and it is suspected that they have more reinforcements further north. Black Snake to the northeast of us doesn’t have that many people, roughly about 1,000 men, and they suffered heavy losses in the fight with us before. But the trouble is, there are so many vehicles on Black Snake side, maybe twenty or thirty trucks, and he may even have a tank from the Army."

Vanus asked immediately. "Which type of tank is it?"

Chu Guang replied. "I don’t know."

Vanus shook his head. "There are three main types of tanks carried by the expeditionary force. One is the Conqueror No.5 light tank used to deal with infantry, another one is the Conqueror No.10 heavy tank that used to cooperate with infantry advancement and undertake anti-armor missions, and last one other is for support purposes, using the chassis of the Conqueror No.10, and replacing the main gun with a 100mm howitzer."

Chu Guang asked. "If it is the latter two, can it be penetrated with a 20mm cannon?"

Vanus was silent for a while. "You should be able to break the track, but I’m not very sure."

"..."

"Actually, tanks are not difficult to deal with, especially if there is only one. I don’t think you should be worrying about tanks now, but..." After a moment’s pause, Vanus looked at the map on the wall. "The enemy to the north of you is probably not a vanguard sent to build some kind of bridgehead in the northern suburbs."

Chu Guang frowned. "You mean that Gray Wolf is lying?"

Vanus shook his head. "It’s not necessarily a lie, or it may be that he doesn’t know that much. After all, if I were the commander, I certainly wouldn’t tell him all my plans."

Moving his gaze from Remote Creek Town all the way to the southern suburbs of Heavenly Water City on the map, Vanus thought and continued. "If I were the commander, I knew that my opponent was difficult to deal with, my friendly forces refused to cooperate with me, and this battle would probably cost a lot of casualties, I will have two options to take. The first is to notify my superior, and the other is to force the other side to attack me first.”
