Chapter 126

~11 min read 2,092 words

"You have to let me finish talking about the upcoming game content and updates first, right."

Upon hearing this, the thousands of players and streamers below couldn't help but be angry and amused.

Photos? Are we here for photos?

You are too narcissistic.

But it seems okay to clean you up after you finish the revelations.

Then the noise in the venue did decrease a bit.

Zhao Ming cleared his throat and said:

"This press conference is mainly to talk about the three series of games that were not finished at the awards gala."

"They are the 【WWI Series】, 【Huaxia History Series】, and 【WWII Sequel】 games."

"But before that."

"I want to promote our Polaris's latest released app and Polaris platform first..."

Duan Yu's stream.

Duan Yu and the viewers were just focused because of the three series Zhao Ming mentioned, and this guy turned around and started advertising.

Duan Yu had a toothache and couldn't help but say to the stream:

"No wonder someone brought razor blades, if I were there I would want to throw them too."

Duan Yu was just saying this.

Suddenly felt movement in the game, hurriedly switched back to the game,

At this time, outside the alley where Duan Yu was, came the screams of several teenagers, and the voices of some big men cursing.

Duan Yu knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, picked up the shotgun in his hand and just guarded, without moving.

Such things happened too much in Leningrad every day now, so much that he couldn't manage them all. He still had twenty-something bullets, if he managed every time, he might run out of bullets in an afternoon.

Then he would have to die too.

The best way was to remain silent, but the cursing outside got closer and closer, when several big men and the captured teenagers passed by the alley.

One of the teenagers saw Duan Yu and suddenly shouted:

"Lev! Lev!"

"Save me quickly!!!"

Duan Yu was stunned, then reacted, Lev was the name of the NPC he was controlling now.

The big man at the alley entrance saw this and immediately gave the teenager a slap:

"Shut up!"

Then the big man with a red face turned around and threatened Duan Yu:

"Kid, be honest."

"Otherwise you should know the consequences."

Duan Yu frowned, stood up, and picked up the shotgun:

"Say that again?"

The red-faced big man at the alley entrance never thought Duan Yu would have a gun, and was stunned for a moment. At this time, the teenager who was shouting 'Lev' quickly broke free and ran in.

The surrounding teenagers were still a bit moved, but were held down by the big man's other accomplices.

The red-faced Soviet big man looked at the pitch-black muzzle and took a deep breath:

"You're tough."

"That guy is yours."

Slowly retreated backward and left the alley entrance.

But Duan Yu didn't put down the gun, the teenager next to him said:

"Lev, they..."

Seemed to want Duan Yu to save them, Duan Yu said:

"Can't save them."

"My gun doesn't have that many bullets."

Until a long time later, Duan Yu let the teenager go to the alley entrance to see, and only after confirming that there was no one did he put down the gun. Looking at the teenager's face, he recalled, and then remembered, this teenager seemed to be the son of the carpenter master at the beginning.

"Where is your father?"

Duan Yu asked the teenager.

After all, that carpenter was also very good, although he fired him, it was understandable, and he even had a fight with his wife because he gave him money.

The teenager was silent for a moment and said:

"My parents are both dead."

"My cousin is also dead, last month some robbers broke into the house in the middle of the night..."

Upon hearing this.

Duan Yu just nodded and didn't say anything,

The situation in the city no longer had any talk of law and morality, now being able to survive depended on who was more ruthless.

It seemed reasonable for anyone to die.

Duan Yu looked at the teenager and said:

"Rest for a while, leave at night."

"I don't have much food here either."

"Try to hide outside the city, wild grass... can also pad your stomach."

The teenager was silent for a while and said:

"Okay."

The two of them were like this, one leaning against the wall inside the alley, one sitting at the edge of the alley with his head down, until the sky turned dark, the teenager prepared to stand up, Duan Yu took out half a piece of bread mixed with sawdust and handed it to the teenager:

"Eat."

The teenager took it and stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites.

Then he looked at Duan Yu, turned around, and ran toward the street in the dark.

Duan Yu stood in place for a while, then returned to the alley, simply packed up the ammunition and a little food, and prepared to transfer positions.

He couldn't stay here anymore, he had to change to a place far enough away.

After walking for a long time, Duan Yu took his things into a dilapidated house, preparing to stay here temporarily for one night, and continue to change places tomorrow.

After putting everything down, he finally had time to return to the stream.

At this time, in the stream, the Polaris official press conference that was hanging had come to an end.

As soon as Duan Yu entered, he saw something playing in the CG, and asked the viewers in the stream:

"Where is this?"

The danmu in the stream floated by.

【"WWI Series" and "Huaxia History Series" CGs and materials have all been finished, now playing is another part of the "Cold War Clouds" CG.】

【That's right, this CG is called 【Chernobyl】.】

【It should be what happened after "Nuclear War", but not sure, because the background was not explained.】

【It doesn't look like "Nuclear War", there is still some order here, able to organize, maybe it didn't start?】

Duan Yu widened his eyes:

"Good guy?"

"Could it be that in that CG, that button was really pressed?"

After saying this, he looked at the CG in the stream.

It looked like this CG had been playing for a while, the low music and communication seemed to show that this CG had come to an end.

The scene that came into view was a gray color, the perspective looked down from a high altitude, and eerie blue light shot out from the wreckage of a building burning with a huge fire, bringing a mysterious and dangerous feeling.

The raging fire burned everything around into liquid.

In the sky, helicopters circling around the burning building dropped boron and sand one after another, firefighters who got off fire trucks saved the fire, and Soviet workers carried shovels to dig underground.

Because he didn't watch the beginning, Duan Yu was still a bit confused:

"What are they doing?"

"Extinguishing the fire?"

There were people in the stream who understood, but they looked at the CG and were silent, not knowing how to say it, and only slowly typed the danmu after a while.

【They are fighting nuclear radiation with their flesh, it is precisely because they understand that it is unbelievable.】

【Many people may not understand nuclear radiation, because it is an eliminated energy source on Blue Star, but if placed in the background of "Earth", this is a fatal existence.】

【Based on the explosion range in the scene, and the data of the instruments in the CG...】

【Just the air has reached 20,000 roentgens/hour, and 500 roentgens/hour can be fatal.】

【Equivalent to saying that those firefighters who are fighting the fire may not live for an hour.】

【Even saying that if you just stand there, you might die of body rot and severe pain within a few minutes.】

【In such a high-radiation environment, even machines can't last 10 seconds.】

【But there was a scene switch just now... A Soviet youth drank a few sips of vodka, then picked up a shovel and rushed up to shovel sand for 10 minutes. I can't imagine what kind of will this must be.】

After this viewer finished speaking, the stream also fell silent.

Duan Yu also looked at the scene in the video with a solemn expression.

The helicopter throwing boron and sand in the scene, after making a sad cry, the steel fuselage actually collapsed like soft mud, and the propeller rotated and fell into the huge sea of fire below.

With the fall, the gloves and clothes of the firefighters in the helicopter could be seen eroding and melting, and the skin rotted rapidly.

Boom!!

The flames swallowed everything.

But the horror of nuclear radiation had been deeply imprinted in the minds of the Blue Star viewers.

Because that wasn't just a little bit of rot, but visible to the naked eye, in just a few seconds the whole person...

Because of the chain reaction caused by the accident, workers came from all directions to support. Human bodies fighting nuclear radiation seemed crazy to the Blue Star netizens, but they couldn't say any mocking words.

Perhaps this was their only way...

A feeling of desperate suffocation came over them. Such an accident, even on a planet with advanced technology like Blue Star, had no good solution.

What would happen on "Earth"?

And the people on "Earth" seemed to have no good way either.

The screen switched from the helicopters, firefighters, workers, etc., constantly extinguishing the fire, to outside the burning building, where the surrounding soldiers were still busy extinguishing the fire in an emergency.

An official in a suit walked over and said to a general:

"Let your subordinates get as close to the fire as possible."

"Give them enough protection."

"But... even so, they will still be killed by nuclear radiation."

The general opposite was silent for a moment, looking directly at the official:

"Then I'll go up myself."

Familiar Soviet military uniform, familiar leading the charge, even though he knew the CG in the screen was not the Soviet Union during WWII.

But there was still a feeling of crossing time and space.

The screen switched suddenly.

Inside the dim building, workers were gathered below, the general appeared wearing protective clothing, looked at these workers, and said with a smile:

"Alright, ready."

"Davarish (Comrades), the political commissar and I have already been up, I can tell you."

"I saw the Grim Reaper up there."

"But it's nothing to be afraid of, two shovels each, then come down as soon as possible."

"Remember the protection essentials, ten people per group, don't exceed 40 seconds."

"I'll go up first, then the political commissar, party members, Communist Youth League members."

"Vacations and sanatoriums in the Black Sea are already prepared."

"For the Motherland, go."

After saying this.

The general in protective clothing picked up a shovel and led people toward the building above without looking back. The screen slowly darkened.

The Blue Star viewers watching couldn't help but tremble inside.

And the result?

What happened?

Really not treating people as people? Still cutting the plot at this time?!

At this time.

The screen slowly lit up, and a wandering sad music background sounded.

The raging fire disappeared, and one could vaguely see the remaining building being pressed by thick cement, a fire truck and firefighters wearing thick protective gear were spraying something.

The screen ended here.

The Blue Star netizens watching couldn't help but feel suffocated, and their eyes went black.

WTF?!

And the result? I want the result!!!

You guy who digs holes!!!

Zhao Ming's smiling voice sounded:

"Alright, the CG materials for 【Cold War Clouds】 have been played here."

"For those who want to know the result, the same sentence~"

"Wait until WWII ends~"

"Next, let's talk about our update plan for the 【WWII Series】 in the second half of the year."

"First is the 【Battle of Midway】 that will be launched after this press conference ends."

"And the national war instance 【Stalingrad】 opened on 'Celebration Day' next month, as well as the permanent instance 【Stalingrad Urban Warfare】, and at the same time, a new game video contest will be opened."

"Players who have wonderful battle performances in the 【Stalingrad】 battle are welcome to submit~"

But.

?

The Blue Star players at the scene could no longer listen, their minds were full of 'Where is my knife?!!!!'
