Chapter 150

~20 min read 3,988 words

Having played "World War II: Rise of the Empire" for so long, coupled with the current Polar Star official forum.

The posts analyzing the war situation inside, even novice players have read quite a few, and have some understanding of the current WWII situation on 'Earth'.

【Normandy Landing】 had also long been analyzed as the Allied counter-offensive battle.

It's just that ever since France was occupied, until the plot now in 1943, there was no news, and many people almost forgot about this place.

Didn't expect to see the news of the meeting of the leaders of the US, UK, and Soviet Union at this time, preparing to open a second battlefield.

That must be 【Normandy Landing】 without a doubt.

Didn't expect that the starting battlefield of Polar Star originally had such a late timeline. This book is first published on Read Novels, choose Tian Tian Kan Novels, 🆃🆃🅺🅢. 🆃🆆 super worry-free, providing you with an error-free chapter, no disordered chapter reading experience

For a time.

Many players began to discuss when it would start.

After all, 【Normandy Landing】, as the first multiplayer resident battlefield, all players will experience it at least once, and there is a bit of nostalgia.

And the current situation looks like the Empire is going to be finished.

The news of opening a second battlefield is no different from adding frost to snow.

The Eastern Front battlefield is retreating across the board, a new battlefield is about to be opened on the Western Front, and the ally in Europe, Italy, has publicly jumped ship, just don't know how it will end.

For a time.

Many streamers and players, in order to experience the authentic 【Normandy Landing】 plot.

Began to constantly skip the plot.

From the original one day in reality, skipping a few days and nights in the game, to one day in reality, skipping ten or so days in the game.

Many players and streamers basically don't do missions and plots anymore.

Just stay in the room, wait for the prompt to pop up and skip, however, night turns to day, day turns to night.

There's no way to stop this, it's all for the heat.

After all, according to the popularity of "World War II: Rise of the Empire", whoever triggers the plot first will definitely attract a large wave of players to the platform.

Zhao Ming saw this and couldn't forcibly block the time.

Because the time in the plot is only a few months faster than the big battlefield, if they all skip like this, they will definitely be stuck in a few days, so he opened another half-year timeline, just enough to trigger the 【Normandy Landing】 plot.

Players naturally didn't know and continued to skip, however, even so, they skipped..:: for more than half a month.

Before anyone successively triggered the 【Normandy Landing】 plot.

At this time.

In Yu Feng's stream room.

After more than half a month of skipping, the 【Normandy Landing】 plot was finally triggered.

At the same time.

Yu Feng also pulled Fang Ming over; although he wasn't the first streamer to trigger the 【Normandy Landing】 plot, his own popularity, coupled with Fang Ming's popularity.

Both of them were the first batch to challenge the 【Normandy Landing】 speedrun leaderboard.

Now the two of them are teaming up, and quite a few friends in the stream room are typing things like "Youth returns!" and so on.

Although Yu Feng triggered the 【Normandy Plot】, he is still at sea and hasn't attacked yet, and there is still a distance from Omaha Beach.

Fang Ming was also chatting with the friends in the stream room:

"Why don't you stream 'World War II: Rise of the Empire' anymore?"

"It's not that I don't stream it, but the new game is also from Polar Star Company, changing the mood; this history game 【Huaxia】 is indeed very interesting."

"Being tired of killing and killing in 'WWII' all day, going to 【Huaxia】 to be a second generation and teasing official ladies is quite interesting~"

"What?"

"Why not tease good ladies? That's what beasts do!"

"To tease, of course, you have to tease official ladies~"

"It's mainly relying on my father, but I started as a prince, who can compete with me?"

Fang Ming was chatting with some friends, some friends were not interested in history games, so they didn't continue watching Fang Ming's stream.

And at this time, they came back to stream 【Normandy Landing】, hearing the various gameplay methods Fang Ming said, they couldn't help but be curious, thinking about finding time to download the game later.

See what identity you can start with.

It is said that there are thousands of identities to choose from, and the branches of identities add up to no less than ten thousand.

The degree of freedom of choice is much higher than "World War II: Rise of the Empire"; after all, no matter how you start here, it's random, except for the faction..::

While chatting, Yu Feng poked him and signaled him to look forward:

"See the beach, we're going up."

Fang Ming also looked up, and a familiar feeling came to his face; it was still the familiar landing craft, still the familiar beach,

Couldn't help but smack his lips:

"This broken place."

"How many times did we die back then?"

During that time, he and Yu Feng led a large group of streamers to challenge the 【Normandy Landing】 speedrun leaderboard all day long.

It wasn't until the troops of major federations came down later and beat them up that they gave up.

But they didn't die little during that time, and even now, with their eyes closed, they know where the steel hedgehogs are on the beach and where the landmines are.

Yu Feng smiled and said:

"Forgot."

"But at that time, we must have died at least thirty or forty times a day, right?"

Fang Ming shook his head:

"More than that."

"I estimate at least 50 times a day."

"Died too much, can't remember clearly."

As he spoke, Fang Ming looked around:

"Hmm?"

Yu Feng saw this and also looked, but didn't find anything unusual:

"What's wrong?"

Fang Ming spoke up:

"Nothing."

"It's just that now, apart from us two, they are all NPCs.

"The sense of urgency and oppression is stronger."

After Yu Feng listened, he took a look, and it really was.

In the 【Normandy Landing】 battlefield, many players will be assigned to a boat.

Blue Star players know this is a game, so naturally, they won't feel oppressed or afraid, only slightly nervous.

But now, apart from the two of them.

The twenty or thirty people on the boat are all NPCs, either praying, or afraid, or some are shaking all over; after all, for them, there is only one life.

Looking from this angle, one can better experience the fear brought by war.

Fang Ming and Yu Feng also sighed; although they knew these were all fake, this damn Polar Star Company input experiences for every NPC.

The NPC soldiers here die, and NPCs far away on the other side of the ocean will also be sad and collapse.

Not far in front of the two, a soldier was holding a pocket watch, looking at the photo on it, and counting money.

Because of the distance of a few body lengths, Yu Feng and Fang Ming couldn't see the photo clearly.

However, it could be seen that it was a female.

At this time, the soldier was looking at the photo, his lips moving as he said something.

Seeing this.

Yu Feng and Fang Ming shook their heads, Fang Ming said:

"Another one setting a flag before the war."

"These 'Earth' people, don't they know it's easy to die if you set a flag before the war?"

"Probably another girlfriend."

"Counting money, probably thinking about what gift to buy after it ends."

"But it's hard to live until the end."

The barrage in the stream room was causing trouble, Fang Ming went up to tease the soldier.

Coupled with the fact that those watching Fang Ming also wanted to cause trouble.

Fang Ming looked at the full screen of barrage, didn't think much, there was still some time before landing, so he went up and stood in front of the soldier.

And just as he arrived in front.

The soldier put away the pocket watch, looked up at Fang Ming, his brows slightly furrowed:

"Anything wrong?"

Looking at the barrage in the stream room, Fang Ming followed along and said:

"Is that your girlfriend?"

"Very pretty."

Seeing Fang Ming say it, the barrage in the stream room became even more excited.

【Hahahaha, Little Ming is really brave, won't this guy beat him up?】

【Fight, fight!!!】

【You guys are too bad? But I like it~】

【You guys guess what reaction this NPC has?】

【I think he will beat Little Ming up.】

【Why do you all think about beating him up? Can't you just hit him once?!】

【Is there a difference?!】

However.

One sentence from that soldier made everyone fall silent.

Seeing Fang Ming's playful look, without any sense of nervousness, although the soldier was curious, he also answered seriously:

"No, that's my mother."

Once this was said.

The stream room fell silent instantly, and Fang Ming's scalp was also tingling, ah this...,

How to answer this?

The corners of Fang Ming's mouth twitched, very embarrassed:

"Uh.... I thought it was a girlfriend."

"Generally, the ones put in pocket watches aren't they all girlfriend photos?"

He looked to Yu Feng for help.

Yu Feng was also smiling, spreading his hands to indicate he was powerless.

The soldier seemed not to want to talk more to Fang Ming, and said:

"I don't have a girlfriend, do you have anything to do?"

"If not, prepare for battle."

Seeing this, Fang Ming could only say dryly:

"Uh... nothing."

"Just reminding you, it's about to charge, don't make wishes to the pocket watch, it's best to leave last words."

However.

As soon as the words fell, the soldier was very angry, his tone a bit disgusted:

"Oh, what a cold joke."

"But I don't like it very much, because I will definitely live."

Fortunately, Fang Ming had a thicker skin; after the embarrassment just now, he immediately adjusted, facing the angry soldier and smiling:

"Don't be angry, I also have good intentions."

These NPCs don't know what they are about to face, but Fang Ming and Yu Feng know clearly, the first batch of landing craft, and in the front row,

That's almost impossible to survive.

"But I hope you can live."

The soldier's expression was solemn, and he said:

"Thank you."

"But I don't like the joke you just made."

"I will definitely live."

Looking at the soldier's insistence and affirmative tone, Fang Ming and the Blue Star netizens in the stream room trembled; they only treated this as a game, and it didn't matter if they died or not.

But from the perspective of this NPC, if he died, he really died..:

Fang Ming and the Blue Star netizens in the stream room also realized that the words just now were a bit too much; Fang Ming looked at the soldier and thought for a while, then said:

"Uh.... do you have any wishes?"

"Like after the war ends?"

He didn't know if this soldier would survive in the history of 'Earth', in the 'Normandy Landing'.

But if this soldier had any regrets, or wishes he hadn't completed, he could perhaps help him complete them or tell him at his tombstone.

Just like the activity of searching for the other side of the envelope before.

Hearing Fang Ming's words.

The soldier was silent for a moment, then said:

"I want to take my mother to London once after the war ends."

"She has stayed on the farm all her life, taking care of her grandparents, taking care of our whole family, and has never seen the outside world."

"She always talks about going to London to take a look, but she hasn't even been out of the small town."

"Always saying it's a waste of money and doesn't want to go."

"But now..:. my money is enough."

And at this time, Fang Ming, Yu Feng, and the Blue Star netizens in the stream room all had their heads 'buzz'..:. exploded.

Fang Ming took a few deep breaths, his voice as calm as possible:

"Uh... we will win, brother."

"By then your mother will feel glorious for you."

"You will definitely live."

Seeing this, the soldier also looked at Fang Ming's face and said solemnly:

"Thank you."

Afterwards, Fang Ming couldn't hold it together anymore and returned to Yu Feng's side.

At this time, he was completely dazed; Fang Ming put his hand into his pocket, took out a pack of cigarettes, and his hand couldn't help but tremble as he took one out and put it in his mouth:

"Damn!"

"Shouldn't have asked, is Old Thief Zhao trying to kill me?

Not only Fang Ming, but the Blue Star netizens in the stream room were also full of guilt.

If they had known, they wouldn't have urged Fang Ming to tease him; now it suddenly became heavy.

Fang Ming took out a matchbox and wanted to light the cigarette in his mouth, but the wind was strong and the waves were urgent, how could it be lit? After several failed attempts, he angrily threw the matchbox into the sea.

The cigarette in his mouth was also spat out, and then he looked at the soldier in the front row.

Seeing this, Yu Feng could only say:

"There's no way."

"The first batch is basically a death, we can't survive."

"There's no way to save him."

"And even if he survives, he only survives in my 【Immersive Plot】 mode, he's still dead in others' plots."

Fang Ming nodded and stopped looking at that soldier.

It's just that this sudden situation caught everyone off guard.

Fang Ming was silent for a while, then looked up again:

"Damn."

"If I don't do something, I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

Fang Ming walked up directly, patted the soldier on the shoulder, the soldier turned his head in confusion, Fang Ming pulled him out and dragged him to the back:

"You are in my position."

"When charging in a while, jump from the side, try to hide behind others."

"If the people in front all fall, you lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."

"As soon as you go ashore, look for cover, those steel hedgehogs."

"Understand?"

Afterwards, regardless of what the soldier wanted to say, he directly pressed him to the end of the team, while Fang Ming turned and walked to the position of the soldier in front.

Seeing this, Yu Feng also patted the soldier on the shoulder, gave an encouraging look, and then walked up to behind Fang Ming; the whole team shifted back again.

As the landing craft moved forward, the beach in front gradually became larger, and the familiar order of the warship commander rang in his ears:

"Don't block the ramp, landing in three minutes!"

"Everyone get off the boat from both sides!"

"May God bless you!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Before landing, bullets from the beach opposite had already flown over, as they got closer and closer to the beach.

Bang!

A violent tremor, the landing craft crashed into something.

The front baffle opened from both sides.

"GO! GO! GO!!!"

Rat-tat-tat-tat—!

The charging soldiers fell like wheat being cut; Fang Ming and Yu Feng didn't know how many times they had fought this battlefield,

Although individual strength couldn't reverse the overall situation.

But they were almost familiar with the Imperial defenders' fire points, shooting at the Imperial fire points as much as possible, dragging it out for a while if they could.

"Old Yu!"

"Stop shouting! I'm aiming! Damn! The firepower is too fierce!!!"

Boom! Boom!

"Cover! Cover!!!"

There weren't that many rookie players, but these native NPCs didn't seem to perform much better than the Blue Star players who were on the battlefield for the first time.

Because surviving here depends purely on luck...

Evening.

Under the sunset.

The blood-colored sunset shone on the beach; Yu Feng leaned against a sandbag at a fire point, with two Imperial soldier corpses lying next to him.

And Yu Feng himself had five or six bullet holes in his abdomen and legs.

At this time, he could barely move his body, and it was hard to survive.

Looking down from the angle of the fire point.

The wreckage of the damaged landing craft was fused with the scorched black beach, and many soldiers' corpses were piled on the beach, repeatedly washed by the seawater.

The sea turned red, unable to distinguish whether it was illuminated by the sunset or stained by blood.

Fang Ming was hit by an artillery shell shortly after landing.

The steel hedgehogs were useless, he was directly blown up, and his body was torn apart; however, Fang Ming didn't leave, but watched Yu Feng's stream in his own stream room.

Yu Feng, Fang Ming, and the Blue Star netizens in the stream room were also looking around.

Seeing if they could find that soldier,

On the beach, numb soldiers were carrying the remains of their comrades, and medics were shuttling on the beach, bandaging the wounded and injecting sedatives to stop pain and bleeding.

A medic came over, wanting to bandage Yu Feng.

But Yu Feng waved his hand and said:

"Leave it for those who need it."

Too much blood had already been lost, and his intestines had been pierced and smashed by bullets; he couldn't be saved anymore.

The medic wanted to say something else, but was pointed by Yu Feng to the wounded not far away, and could only go over to treat them.

Yu Feng, Fang Ming, and the Blue Star netizens in the stream room looked for a while longer.

Still couldn't find him.

Yu Feng sighed and said:

"Looks like we can't find him."

"Hope that brother can survive."

Although he was just an NPC.

But for that simple and pure wish, everyone in the stream room didn't want him to die.

It's just that Yu Feng couldn't hold on anymore.

As the words fell, Yu Feng's head slumped, and he lost his breath.

And this was just a scene seen everywhere on Omaha Beach.

Yu Feng's screen went black, then returned to the game's streamer interface, looking at Fang Ming in the room, and said:

"Still coming?"

"Continue to experience the subsequent plot?"

Fang Ming rubbed his temples:

"Not for now."

"Let me slow down."

"Damn it, why does Old Thief Zhao always design this kind of plot."

"You play first, I'll go play 【Huaxia】, and then I'll end the stream."

Yu Feng nodded:

"Okay."

"Go ahead."

Then Fang Ming left the room, but after Fang Ming left, Yu Feng also stood in place, and for a time had no interest in playing.

The impact of that NPC was still too great.

Yu Feng was dazed in the stream room, and couldn't help but think about what would happen if that mother knew the news of her child's sacrifice.

However, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt; Yu Feng rubbed his face and said to the stream room:

"Brothers."

"Ending the stream first, I also need to slow down."

"Today's plot, the energy is a bit strong."

"Not streaming anymore."

Yu Feng ended the stream, but that dialogue plot had already spread on the internet.

This was the first time many people noticed the perspective of soldiers.

They thought that for those envelopes in the hands of NPCs who died on the battlefield, they were just looking at a result.

But only this soldier's self-narration.

That simplest wish to live, wait until the war ends to take his mother to London to take a look, and that sentence "my money is enough", made all Blue Star people unable to hold it together.

The money is enough, but this battle..:. the probability of living is very, very small.

Those politicians really opened and closed their mouths, and the tens of thousands of soldiers who died on the North African battlefield before seemed to have never existed, and the enemies who fought to the death became allies.

Compared to this soldier's simplest wish at this time.

An incomparably ironic and absurd feeling surged into the minds of the Blue Star netizens in the stream room.

The discussion about who exactly benefited from the war intensified.

Making some originally firm fanatics also waver; looking at that soldier's simplest wish, they don't have family too..::

Quite a few people were spontaneously looking for that soldier in the 【Normandy Landing】 plot in the game, wanting to know an ending; it's just..:. the war in the game won't stop because of the discussion of Blue Star people.

The fighting is still continuing.

With the approach of the Empire's end, everyone could feel the feeling of impending madness.

And the opening of the second battlefield on the Western Front.

The Empire also fell into a situation of being attacked from both sides; although the Allied forces on the Western Front were not strong yet, as long as this threat existed, it could threaten the Empire at any time.

Forcing the Empire to not divert part of its focus to pay attention to the situation on the Western Front.

And the situation on the Eastern Front, which was already difficult, became even more difficult.

At this time, 【European Battlefield】 bloomed on both the East and West lines, and the Empire's only ally here jumped ship, 【Atlantic Battlefield】

Also began to retreat because of the Allied forces' technological upgrade.

And currently, only 【Pacific Battlefield】 and 【Asian Battlefield】 were left.

【Asian Battlefield】, although not open, could be roughly inferred from the previous Polar Star 【Huaxia】 series game CG, Japan is in trouble.

And on the 【Pacific Battlefield】 side.

Japan was unable to maintain the situation anymore, retreating steadily in the face of the American Freedom Federation's attack, but Japan's soldiers seemed to be brainwashed.

That kind of crazy appearance made quite a few American Freedom Federation soldiers feel troublesome,

However, there was gossip that the American Freedom Federation was researching a kind of 'large-scale destructive' weapon, seemingly to be used to deal with Japan's suicide attacks.

It's just that no one is sure if it really exists.

The war situation on 'Earth' changes every day.

However.

The rapid change in the war situation was unexpected even for Blue Star players.

Just as 【Normandy Landing】 happened, the counter-offensive launched by the Soviet Federation also proceeded synchronously; at this time, not only was Kiev recaptured.

Even the main force of the Soviet Federation had already reached Poland.

At the very beginning, the country between the Soviet Federation and the Empire was Poland, which means at this time the Soviet Federation not only recaptured the lost territory.

As long as Poland is taken down, it can directly threaten the Empire's mainland.

The Empire's collapse momentum was too fast.

Blue Star players, because of skipping quickly, missed a lot of information and couldn't understand at all how it became like this in just half a year.

But fortunately, although these streamers have many who skipped the plot.

There are also quite a few who didn't skip too much, and the plot timeline is much slower than 【Normandy Landing】.

Cheng Yu, as an Imperial faction player, naturally knew that the Empire's general trend was gone, but he didn't want to skip the plot and experience the collapse early, so he had been playing step by step.

Just didn't expect that on this day, he got a shocking piece of news from the 【Immersive Plot】 mode:

"Manstein was dismissed?"

"What's the situation? Did the Empire give up?"
