Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

Liuying had known about it for a long time.

One day, she will fall on the devastated battlefield just like her compatriots before her.

And those who come after her will continue to step over her body and turn into broken fireflies.

She had already prepared herself mentally for this.

This is the duty of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, their inevitable fate.

But now, she hesitated.

Or rather...she was afraid.

She doesn't want to die.

She was afraid of dying.

Because she has tasted what it feels like to be truly alive.

I could have overcome the darkness if I had never seen the light.

I could have endured the cold if I had never felt the warmth.

I could have died alone if I hadn't met someone to accompany me...

Countless cavalrymen fell before Liuying's eyes, and the warnings and roars of destruction coming from the communicator gradually became more and more blurred.

She fought and retreated, the barrel of the gun on her arm was scorched red, and the scorching heat emitted from the muzzle distorted the air.

The blazing flames burned and broke the blockade formed by dozens of insect swarms in front of her. She was like a stream of light, weaving through the dense swarms of insects.

[The time spent looking into the future may be lonely and long, but after hard work, the future will be bright.]

My Lord God, this is what you once said to me.

I don't want to die here, I don't want my life to end like this!

Because I have seen the light!

So, God...

Please bless me to see you again!!

-

"Snapped."

The slight sound of the circuit being restored was particularly clear in the dark room.

The next moment, the light bulb in the room lit up.

Shen Yi was lying on the bed bored. When he saw the light come on, he immediately realized that the electricity had come on.

I looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

In the afternoon, he was quite anxious because he couldn't play games due to a power outage, but his gaming addiction was just like Lu Guan, it came with a bang and left quietly.

Now he no longer has those worldly desires.

But when he thought about the bugs in the game and the sudden power outage during the day, which meant that his progress was not saved, Shen Yi couldn't help but get out of bed and turn on the computer.

He had to make sure this crappy game hadn't lost his save data.

As the familiar opening animation ends, the sandbox scene in the game slowly appears.

The moment he saw the picture, Shen Yi almost had a cardiac arrest——

The huge sandbox map was filled with swarms of insects!

These black swarms of insects filled one cell after another. There were countless of them in all directions, so densely packed that Shen Yi almost developed claustrophobia.

The most terrifying thing is that just at the edge of the map, there is an extremely huge queen insect lurking in the lower right corner of the camera.

How big is it?

Judging from the scale of the strategic map, the capital occupies the central urban area of ​​a cell and is only the size of a bottle cap on the strategic map.

But the queen insect was as big as a mobile phone, almost the size of ten bottle caps.

Just think about it, if there are termites flying in the sky, whose size is larger than ten human counties combined, how terrifying would the oppressive feeling be?

Looking at the two cities he had worked so hard to build, he saw that they were completely surrounded.

Sentry turrets, anti-aircraft artillery matrices, energy fields, defensive barriers...

These facilities used to prevent the invasion of the insect swarm were all destroyed by the insect swarm.

Several cavalry units that had been trained previously were also wiped out, with only the last one remaining.

This scene frightened Shen Yi so much that his heart tightened. He quickly clicked on the cultivation list and was relieved to see Liuying's avatar still lying in the list.

However, her various attributes have reached their lowest point:

[HP: 20/100]

[Energy: 5/100]

[Mood value: 0/100]

[Hunger value: 15/100]

It’s a close call, only 20 health points are left!

If she didn't turn on the computer, she wouldn't be killed by the bug, right?

Shen Yi switched the camera and shifted the scene to Liuying.

The little girl was exhausted and was staggering and shaking her body. She and the two remaining cavalrymen were leaning against each other, making a desperate fight.

Her mecha was already badly damaged, with many parts cracked and broken, and some parts even completely fallen off, revealing the bloody skin underneath.

Seeing this, Shen Yi almost laughed out of anger.

No, what's wrong with this game?

Is the pressure really that great?

During the day, that BUG gave me extra money and added to my technological culture, but how come when the power went out for a while and then turned on again, my house is almost dead?

What kind of bug is this? Why is it so weird?

It's understandable that data is lost due to deletion or modification, but this BUG seems to be advancing the plot no matter how you look at it.

The question is, isn't this a sandbox strategy game like Civilization or Stellaris?

Even if there is a plot, it should only have mission objectives at the beginning and end, rather than a linear plot, right?

No, I have to deal with the current dilemma first, and then find a way to deal with this BUG.

After making up his mind, the second problem was thrown at Shen Yi's face.

How can you turn this dead end situation around when you are being dominated by enemy units and almost all your combat units are wiped out?

Even if you ask Ke Jie to play this game, he won’t be able to turn it around!

Unless cheating!

Wait...cheating?

Shen Yi set his sights on the mall button.

Thinking of the Yama Blade, the World-Destroying Bomb, and the King's Treasure House that I had seen in there...

Isn’t this the official plug-in?

Shen Yi has reason to suspect that this sudden increase in player strength is intended to force players to spend money.

But isn't this kind of forced spending method too annoying? Especially since this is still a beta version!

No, that's not right. According to the manufacturer's thinking, precisely because this is a beta version, they need to complete the testing of the krypton gold function...

There really is rice noodles!

Complaints aside, if Shen Yi wants to turn the tide of battle, he can only pin his hopes on the props in the mall.

He opened the store, slid to the weapons and props page, and clicked on ascending order.

There was no way, his current Star Qiong totaled only 280 points, and those powerful items cost thousands of dollars, which he really couldn't afford.

He had tried to use the CE modifier to modify the money before, but this crappy game might have a built-in anti-cheating mechanism, so there was no way to modify the data.

So if you want Xingqiong, you can only save it bit by bit.

After searching for a while, Shen Yi finally found what he wanted in the "100 Yuan Area" -

[Skill Scroll: Burning Heaven and Earth]

[Effect: Generates a flame that burns everything within a 30x30 cell range. Friendly units and buildings are immune to this damage.]

【Note: This item can only be used once】

[Price: 100 Xingqiong]

It is it.

Damn, it costs 100, that’s too expensive!

But if you think about it carefully, a power chainsaw sword costs 200, and this large-scale AOE skill that clears the screen only costs 100, which is very cost-effective.

Click to buy, confirm payment, and it's done.

Shen Yi looked at the extra skill scroll in the prop bar and clicked to use it without hesitation!

The next second, a raging fire fell from the sky, instantly igniting the entire sea of ​​stars!

Chapter 17: Escape from the desperate situation, the heavenly fire cleanses the world!

In the Grammer Empire, the Zerg is wreaking havoc.

"Boom!"

A blinding light suddenly erupted on the battlefield, and a huge impact force came towards them, sweeping up everything within a radius of a thousand meters.

The air was filled with thick smoke and dust, and the vision became distorted and dim at this moment.

The firefly was like a kite with a broken string, suddenly lifted up by the powerful force and flew into the air involuntarily.

Her limbs flailed helplessly in the air, trying to grab onto something to steady herself, but all she could hear was the whistling wind and falling debris.

With a loud bang, she fell heavily onto the ruins.

The long battles had made her numb to this level of pain. She quickly stood up and looked carefully. Below and around her were swarms of insects and the broken bodies of her companions.

Countless iron cavalrymen are now reduced to broken fragments, lying here quietly like dust.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, a girl's painful whimper was heard beside him. Liuying was stunned for a moment, then quickly went to the source of the sound, lifted up the body of his comrade and the rubble, and pulled out a cavalryman from underneath.

The armor of this cavalryman was also badly tattered, even his helmet was broken in half, his hair was disheveled, and his face was covered with dust and dried blood.

"Snow Firefly..."

Liuying murmured the name, and the girl she rescued was stunned for a moment. It took her several seconds to recognize her.

"Liuying, is that you?"

"It's me! Are you okay?"

"The damage to the fuselage has reached 74%, the propulsion power is almost gone, and the main turret is broken and unusable..."

"You, you are the artillery support unit in the rear, why..."

Before she could finish her words, Liuying froze, and then she felt sad and bitter.
