Days passed in the game, and more and more Salvation Army Warriors escaped from New York City, making their way to the Salvation Army's temporary base in the suburbs.
A day had even passed unnoticed in the real world. Many Salvation Army Warriors who had died in the game had already logged back in, and with their newfound experience, they easily escaped New York City to regroup with the main force.
By now, the number of Salvation Army Warriors worldwide had reached around fifty thousand. Including the survivor NPCs they had rescued from the game's urban ruins, the total population of the base had swelled to between fifty and sixty thousand—a formidable force.
These elites, hailing from all professions, proposed numerous ingenious ideas for destroying the tower in New York City, including using full-band jamming to block its signals.
All of these suggestions were adopted, and personnel were assigned to begin research on various fronts.
