Chapter 51: How can air combat be just shooting at each other
The friends in the stream room were also confused, but they soon received a notification.
"Pack your things, head to the station at 11 o'clock, and take the train to rendezvous with the main force."
Bai Xiang also understood:
"So that's how it is; I still have to follow the plot."
"This order should be to gather the players together, right?"
However, some friends in the stream room said:
【No, I just watched a few stream rooms; those whose characters were soldiers before the update are all gathering, while those who weren't soldiers didn't receive any news; it seems nothing has changed.】
【It has changed; now all players are synchronized into various instances.】
【If you are in the same instance, you can meet; before, it was just doing story missions alone.】
【Then can I pull a few people to rob a bank?】
【As long as your head is harder than a bullet...】
Bai Xiang ignored the friends in the stream room and walked towards the town:
"I have to go say goodbye."
"Although I've been doing useless story missions here for several days, these NPCs are all pretty good."
"It's just a pity that I have to quit the temporary job I just found; I feel a bit sorry for the NPC boss."
However.
Bai Xiang's words did not evoke sympathy from the friends; instead, they mocked him.
【This guy is going to scam food and drink again.】
【Tsk... do you have no shame? But you can't go around begging for sympathy and scamming food and drink every day.】
【What do you mean escape? That's called a great retreat.】
【Good guy, you even have true love fans???】
【Don't get excited, just joking.】
Bai Xiang looked at the stream barrage and said righteously:
"What scamming food and drink? Didn't I help them trim flowers and move goods?"
Just as he was speaking.
The fruit shop owner's daughter in front saw Bai Xiang walking over and called out with a smile:
"Hey, Thomas."
"Here to help again."
Bai Xiang, hearing the NPC name he was playing, immediately looked over and saw it was the fruit shop owner's daughter, a girl who had just started middle school and was his little fan. Bai Xiang said:
"No, I'm here to say goodbye."
"The troops are about to set off."
"Study hard in the future, Emily."
During the boring story missions these past few days, he had often followed the little girl and bragged about stories on the battlefield, which is why they were so familiar.
Emily looked incredulous:
"Oh!"
"My god, it's only been a few days of rest, and you're going back to the battlefield again?"
"You wait!"
After saying that, the little girl ran into the house, and a moment later, she ran out with a paper bag of steaming bread:
"This is bread my mom just baked; take it to eat on the road."
Bai Xiang's expression was strange:
"Didn't your mom beat you?"
Emily giggled:
"Hehe, she's washing clothes, she won't find out for now~"
"You are not allowed to refuse!"
"When you come back, continue telling me stories!"
Watching this scene.
The friends in the stream room kept booing, and Bai Xiang was also helpless, saying:
"Alright, alright, but I still have to go say goodbye to others."
"In case they think this is a farewell gift I'm trying to send, that wouldn't be good."
Emily thought that was reasonable, so she nodded and said:
"Then hurry up."
"Otherwise mom will find out in a while."
Bai Xiang said:
"No problem."
Then Bai Xiang went to find the place where he had found a temporary job in town and said goodbye to the boss. Actually, it wasn't really a boss; it was just that Bai Xiang had gone to find hidden plotlines because he was bored.
Then he triggered a series of daily tasks like delivering goods and trimming flowers.
After saying goodbye to the delivery boss, Bai Xiang was just about to go to the flower shop diagonally opposite.
Suddenly.
A faint buzzing sound rang out in the sky.
Bai Xiang's expression changed, and he shouted:
"Don't talk!!!"
The cargo station boss and employees were confused, and people from surrounding shops also looked over, and at this time, the buzzing sound in the sky became louder and louder.
Bai Xiang's face was ugly; he was too familiar with this sound. He had been bombed more than a dozen times a day at Dunkirk, and sometimes he dreamed of the scene of being bombed in the game.
This is not an illusion?!
Is it really an Imperial bomber?!
"Airstrike!!!"
"Quickly find a place to hide, it's an Imperial bomber!"
Bai Xiang shouted loudly, reminding the people around him.
The people around showed horror; no one dared to ignore the reminder of a soldier who had survived Dunkirk.
Everyone took action, looking for safe places or cellars.
And Bai Xiang was also running while shouting to remind the people around him.
But the Imperial bombers were too fast.
From the moment that faint buzzing sound started, it meant everything.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The whistling sound of bombs in free fall spread over the entire town.
Boom—!
Huge explosions rose up.
A mushroom cloud rose at the town's port, emitting thick black smoke.
Boom, boom, boom—!
One bomb after another was dropped on the town's port.
In an instant.
The entire port was destroyed, and there were broken ships and burning flames everywhere.
People's terrified cries for help rang out at the port.
However... this was not over yet.
After the Imperial bombers in the sky flew over the port, they turned around and circled back.
This time the target.
Was the center of the town.
Watching the Imperial bomber flying straight towards him, Bai Xiang's face was ugly:
"Damn?!"
"Am I going to be bombed to death here?!"
How can two legs outrun a bomber?
Watching the bomber get closer and closer, it had already dropped small black dots, diving towards his direction. A bomb landed on the street next door.
The sound of steel colliding with the ground rang out.
Then came the deafening explosion, as well as the scorching heat wave and countless fragments of stone that swept over.
Boom—!!!
Bai Xiang was hit by the heat wave of the bomb and flew up, hitting the wall.
Fragments of the building kept hitting his body.
His eyes went black, and the image completely disappeared.
"Damn!"
Bai Xiang shouted angrily.
The friends in the stream room were also laughing and collapsing.
【6666, what kind of reincarnation plot is this at the start?】
【The problem is not big; if you die, just change your identity, maybe you can fly a plane.】
【Good guy, is this what is called air combat? How is it a bit different from what I thought.】
【What did you think?】
【Of course, it's flying a plane and shooting at each other; what is this?】
【You are talking about a competitive game; this is a war between countries; of course, it's to solve the useful places of the enemy first...】
【It can only be said that the streamer is unlucky; the character is at the port.】
And at this time, Bai Xiang also found something wrong:
"Why is there no starting option?"
"Could it be that I didn't die?"
The screen was pitch black, and he couldn't control his body, but he could see the stream barrage and the game's exit option.
It should be that he didn't die, he thought.
Bai Xiang continued to wait.
The pitch-black screen lasted for about four minutes. Light gradually appeared in front of Bai Xiang, and many crying sounds came to his ears, and then he could gradually control his body.
But the pain coming from all over his body was telling him that he should be seriously injured.
As he opened his eyes completely, Bai Xiang found that he was in the square in the center of the town, with gauze wrapped around his body, legs, and arms, and looking around.
There was almost no complete building in the town.
The buildings that could be seen at a glance before had all collapsed, and the field of vision was so open that he could even see the tall buildings on the edge of the town that had been half-blown away.
There were corpses covered with clothes or white cloth everywhere.
Many residents were in the ruins, lifting out people they were familiar with.
Under the blood-red sunset.
Blood and smoke filled the entire town, completely different from its previous appearance, and not a single similarity could be found.
Bai Xiang's heart felt like it was blocked.
Bai Xiang struggled to get up, his body limping as he walked through the ruins around him. There were ruins of buildings everywhere, and he had lost his direction, not knowing where he had walked.
Clatter—
The sound of a paper bag came from under his feet.
Bai Xiang looked down, his pupils shrank, and the stream room was silent.
A slender arm was pressed under the ruins of the building, tightly clutching a paper bag in its hand, and the bag emitted the familiar smell of bread, but the bread was no longer steaming.
The fruit scattered on the ground was covered in blood, and the fruit shop's sign was lying there quietly. He knew where this was, and he knew the direction he was in.
But... the feeling of suffocation came overwhelmingly.
"This is bread my mom just baked; take it to eat on the road."
"Hehe, she's washing clothes, she won't find out for now~"
"You are not allowed to refuse!"
"When you come back, continue telling me stories!" ===== CHAPTER 52 =====
