Chapter 681: Chapter 648 “Tide of Elimination”
Super Tomato opened the Battlefield map and glanced at the size of the Meteor Crater, then his whole body felt unwell—
The crater itself could hold 4 player selected positions, almost two times larger than the nuclear bomb pit that had turned into a lake!
If this thing falls directly on us...
“Please don’t effing hit us!”
The nuclear bomb accurately hit its target within 3 seconds, a massive mushroom cloud rose, the earth trembled, the sea waves churned, and the large cargo ship shook once again.
The ever-diligent Recon Soldiers, however, did not report where the nuclear bomb hit in time.
No one knew if they were hit by the nuclear bomb and died on the spot, or if they were too busy watching the meteor in the sky to care.
Yes, the meteor hadn’t landed yet!
Normally, the falling speed of a meteorite should be faster than that of nuclear weapons.
Super Tomato subconsciously thought: Perhaps in order to better present the visual effects of the meteor falling, or to give players more time to find open spaces, the designers of Yunmeng slowed down the falling speed of the meteorite a lot.
But soon he couldn’t think about this anymore, because in his line of sight, the meteorite was getting bigger!
This is not a good sign!!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Although everyone was staring at the fast-falling meteorite in panic and felt that disaster was imminent.
But the “Artillery” still managed to fire in time—
Even if we’re going to die the next second, we’ll enjoy this second first!
The Russian Tank Soldiers couldn’t imagine that at this critical moment, someone was still firing!
But it’s too late to counterattack. The meteorite is right above their heads!
Super Tomato, who had been watching the meteor’s trajectory from the beginning, was shivering with fear: “Quick, turn around!! Full speed!! It’s coming towards us!”
But as soon as he called out, he realized he was being silly.
Run, there’s no way to run!
“Damn it!”
“So big!”
The players on the deck all stretched their necks in surprise.
In the forest not far from the shore, the players from all four countries who were in the middle of a melee all stopped, watching the huge meteorite, burning with fierce flames, pass over their heads and smash into the sea.
——The development team of “Battlefield” specifically designed a set of algorithms for the falling point of meteorites, which is completely different from nuclear weapons.
If no one finds the nuclear weapon controller and the target is not manually changed, then the first fall point will be chosen in the periphery of the map, where players are relatively scarce, which does effectively serve as a “shrinking circle”.
But the meteorite will, according to the algorithm, lock onto the top three targets in terms of number of people, weaponry, and battle record, and then randomly pick one to strike.
[T1 War Zone – Russia, has exited the battlefield]
[T2 War Zone – Germany, has exited the battlefield]
[T3 War Zone – Austria, has exited the battlefield]
[T3 War Zone – Hungary, has exited the battlefield]
[T3 War Zone – Belgium, has exited the battlefield]
[T3 War Zone – Johor, has exited the battlefield]
...

One fact needs to be reiterated:
‘Battlefield,’ this game, has not yet officially launched; what players are experiencing is still just the early access version.
What this means is: the game is not perfect, and many areas still need adjustments.
The first [Peak War] was also the case; although players were able to experience never-before-seen gameplay, the cost was: there will inevitably be parts of it that feel frustrating.
This meteorite was a complete surprise.
Normally, it would have fallen far from the strongest factions and caused a violent earthquake upon impact.
Although this would lead to considerable damage, it would primarily affect the terrain.
For the players, as long as they were not in an area with a concentrated number of buildings, the damage they endured would not be unmanageable.
As for areas with a high density of buildings, the meteorite’s potential landing spots would take them into consideration, avoiding these areas or falling farther away.
The developers thought of all these issues.
However, due to the short amount of development time, they did not foresee that the strongest teams would gather at the sparse coastlines.
They also did not anticipate that the meteorite-triggered tsunami would lead to such terrifying consequences.
It even resulted in an “Elimination Tsunami”!
Without a doubt, once this Peak War is over, the meteor mechanism will definitely be revised.

Watching the astonishing scenes on the battlefield, both Ren Jian and Zara were left speechless, their mouths agape in shock.
The audience, too, were astounded —
“This is just absurd, it’s absurd to the maximum!”
“You call this a [Peak War]? This is a downright [Survival Challenge], right? The aim is to see who can last longer under Yunmeng’s torment!”
“Hey, we’re not going to get eliminated like this, are we?”
“No way! After staying alive for so long, we’re going to be wiped out by Yunmeng’s tsunami?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! We’re not eliminated yet, I’ve been keeping an eye on the System’s announcements!”
