Chapter 94: Modern Warfare [Alpha Rescue], Soviet Spark (4.3k)

Shen Qinghan nodded, with a smile on her face:

"Of course."

"Just based on the effect of this level, you are now the top priority of the federation."

"What's a small request?"

Zhao Ming smiled and waved his hand:

"Then let the guys who annoy you disappear."

"It's just a matter of a federation order, it shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Shen Qinghan smiled and said:

"As long as you agree, then I can go with the imperial order."

Zhao Ming made a gesture of invitation, and Shen Qinghan nodded:

"Okay, then I'll be arrogant for once."

"By the way, do you have any plans for new levels?"

Zhao Ming took out his phone, placed it on the coffee table, and clicked on the virtual projection file.

The icon of the previous "Earth 1: Modern Warfare" was projected out. Clicking into it, the video file that was originally only one now had a row underneath:

"These are some elite troops in 'Modern Warfare'."

"And their focus of training is different."

"For example, the American Freedom Federation's 【Navy SEALs】 are good at underwater reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, and decapitation operations."

"【Delta Force】 is good at rescue and high-value target elimination."

"【Green Berets】 are good at unconventional warfare and infiltration tactics."

"And the Russian Federation's 【Alpha Group】 is a counter-terrorism elite, good at hostage rescue and special operations."

"【VDV Airborne Troops】 are good at airborne raids and mechanized warfare, etc."

"These are not exclusive levels. Later, when 'Earth 1: Modern Warfare' is released, they will be updated one after another."

"However, that's a matter for the year after next or the year after that. These can be put into the data to be announced to attract agents from other federations."

"If our Great Xia Federation is interested, I can make them first."

"As for the Republic's level, this is an exclusive level and will not be open to the public. There are still many to come."

After speaking, he manipulated the projection and sent the file to Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan had no objections, then said:

"Okay, I'll go back and show these materials to the federation high command first."

"The other federations are still screening, but the Antarctic Star Federation has officially taken action and is very interested in the agency rights for 'World War II: Rise of the Empire'."

"The diplomatic official there wants to talk to you."

"Shall we find a time to meet?"

Zhao Ming shrugged and said:

"Why wouldn't I want an agent delivered to my door?"

"I'm just a game maker, so I don't have to consider this and that like you do."

"Let's do it this way then."

"Make an appointment to meet with the diplomat from the Antarctic Star Federation."

The two exchanged information about the current situation of the game, and then Shen Qinghan left to make arrangements.

On the other side.

Great Xia Federation capital, Antarctic Star Federation Embassy.

Diplomat Adrie received the message from Shen Qinghan, and a look of joy appeared on his face:

"Finally got in touch, quick!"

"Prepare a special train for me to Donghai City."

,

His subordinates hurriedly went to prepare. The deputy beside him was a bit curious:

"Sir, that Polar Star company is just a game maker, right?"

"Why do you still attach such importance to it, and you're going personally?"

Adrie turned his head to look, and seeing no one around, he said:

"The games this company makes are different."

"I received news about the turmoil within the Great Xia Federation military these past few days."

"The source is this Polar Star company."

"Although I don't know the specifics, as long as we win them over, it won't be wrong."

"Also, during the previous live stream."

"Why were the soldiers of the Great Xia Federation military so powerful? I feel it also has to do with this game. Otherwise, how could a game trigger turmoil in the Great Xia Federation military?"

The deputy's eyes widened:

"So powerful?"

Adrie's mouth curled up:

"I haven't wasted the ten-plus years I've been in the Great Xia Federation capital."

"The source of the news is absolutely accurate. We must get ahead of other federations and take down the agency rights of Polar Star company. It would be best if we could learn something from their boss."

After speaking.

A look of absurdity also appeared on Adrie's face:

"Really..."

"A game company can actually trigger such changes in the Great Xia Federation."

"Hard to understand."

However, although it was hard to understand... but following along was the right thing to do. After all, the Great Xia Federation must have its reasons for doing so.

Since he couldn't figure out the answer, Adrie shook his head and walked out:

"Speaking of which, the plot of this game is still quite good."

"Many plots on their official website are very cruel. It is indeed a game that can stimulate the anti-war sentiment of the public. Just from this point, it is very successful."

At this time.

Sky Shark Live, Game Section.

Duan Yu's live stream room.

【Challenging 100 days of survival in Kiev, Day 28!】

Hundreds of thousands of people in the live stream room watched Duan Yu polishing leather shoes. After polishing for one Imperial soldier, another Imperial soldier came over and sat down. Looking further back.

The queue went straight to the street corner.

The friends in the live stream room were overjoyed.

【Is there any big shot counting? How many pairs is this?】

【The 27th pair, laughing to death. There were no shoes to polish before the Empire entered the city, and they can't polish them fast enough after the Empire entered the city.】

【Polishing them isn't the point, the key is they don't pay! Look at how tired the streamer is.】

【Streamer, why don't you just grab their guns and rush them! Let them see the blood of Blue Star people!!!】

【Hahahaha, the streamer won't do that. Didn't you see this is a survival challenge live stream room?】

【That's right, for the sake of survival, the streamer can really endure.】

Duan Yu looked at the barrage, also helpless. Is it easy for him to survive?!

It's not that they all don't pay. Compared to having no shoes to polish, there were still two Imperial soldiers who paid, so it wasn't a wasted morning.

At least he could finally buy a whole loaf of black bread.

Duan Yu thought to himself, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His arms were already much thinner than when he restarted, and the shape of the bones could already be seen.

No way... he was hungry.

During this time in the game, he basically just drank water and scraped food from the ruins to hold on.

Substituting himself into this predicament, Duan Yu found that if he weren't a player.

This would be truly desperate.

But there was no other way, because even from a player's perspective, one would find that besides waiting for death in the city,

there was basically no other way. Even players were like this, let alone the NPCs in this game.

Despair, too much despair...

Duan Yu shook his head, not daring to think what kind of human tragedy it would be if this "World War II" were real.

Just as he was thinking.

The sound of leather boots approaching came to his ears. Duan Yu didn't even lift his head and said:

"Please queue over there..."

,

Before he could finish speaking, the military boots he was polishing were hurriedly pulled back. The Imperial soldier in front of him stood up and shouted nervously:

"Officer!"

Duan Yu was a bit puzzled and was about to lift his head.

When he felt something cold pressed against his head.

Bang—

His head suffered an impact abruptly. Duan Yu's body fell uncontrollably, his pupils dilated, and he faintly heard a roar:

"Are you all just idle and have nothing to do?!"

"Who allowed you to waste time here..."

The screen went completely black.

The sudden scene left everyone in the live stream room stunned.

Even Duan Yu hadn't reacted, still with a dazed expression.

That's it?

A moment later.

The barrage in the live stream room exploded.

【Holy crap? I've watched so many plot videos of killing innocents, but this one is truly outrageous.】

【Yeah, the others had some reason, like grabbing something. This damn thing is polishing shoes for Imperial soldiers, he didn't do anything wrong, right?】

【Not a single sign, just killed because he was polishing shoes. This... doesn't take human life as life at all.】

【... at least he died without pain.】

【The streamer has been beaten stupid, not moving at all.】

【It's really... outrageous. When war breaks out, there's no humanity at all. These guys seem to kill without any feeling.】

【Another reason for death added: wasting time polishing shoes.】

Duan Yu finally recovered a bit, rubbing his face. "Damn it... is this worth the whole morning I spent polishing so many shoes?!"

"What kind of damn NPC is this?!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. This time Duan Yu directly chose 【Battle of Kiev (Limited Time)】:

"Damn it, I must go and assassinate that guy."

"I'm so pissed off!!!"

The screen entered the game, still in Kiev, but this time Duan Yu was in the identity of a soldier.

He was currently outside Kiev, surrounded by Imperial troops.

Duan Yu checked his equipment, then quietly left the team and sneaked toward the city of Kiev, wanting to find the place where he was polishing shoes just now.

However, he hadn't gone far.

Bang, the screen went black.

"Damn!!!"

On the other side.

Next door live stream room.

Unlike Duan Yu, who wasn't very strong.

There were already veteran streamers in 【Battle of Kiev (Limited Time)】 who, under the encirclement of the Empire, fought and ran, surviving for more than a week without dying.

And in this short period of time, this group of remnants gathered from all over had gradually become familiar.

Streamer Huang Hao was leaning against the wall of a small village ruin, pillowing his head and listening to the Soviet old man beside him, an uncle in his fifties or sixties, cursing:

"If anyone starts a world war again in the future, they should catch all those guys."

"Then pick a good day and lock them in a pigsty."

"Sell tickets."

"Let those kings, generals, and ministers be naked, each holding a stick to duel, fighting until they die."

"Whoever wins gets everything."

"Instead of letting us go to our deaths like this now!"

A look of helplessness appeared on Huang Hao's face:

"Well... although the idea is good, but..."

Huang Hao thought for a while and joked:

"Who gets the ticket money?"

This Soviet old man was stunned, thought about it seriously, and then said:

"Just collect the money and keep it to hold the next competition."

"And there shouldn't just be sticks, there should also be boxing! Swords! That way those guys will know pain."

Huang Hao smiled and said:

"Sounds like a competition, very good."

Then he sighed, looked up at the gloomy sky, and smacked his lips:

"The fewer people there are, the more I'm afraid we won't be able to run."

Scanning the dozens of people around, he was afraid they would be wiped out in one wave.

The live stream room was also giving Huang Hao reminders in real-time.

【Stop talking, run quickly, the Empire's armored troops are coming from the north.】

【Wishing the streamer a restart in advance.】

【Run! They're almost here!】

Huang Hao stood up and patted the dust off his body:

"Time to go."

"The Empire's troops are about to arrive here."

The soldiers around were startled and hurriedly stood up to be on guard. The Soviet old man's expression changed:

"How do you know?"

Huang Hao spoke up:

"Well... I can divine."

This was a word he had just learned; it was fine to fool these NPCs.

The Soviet veteran's expression changed:

"Can you divine without tarot cards?"

Huang Hao nodded and said:

"Of course."

Although he didn't know what tarot cards were.

Seeing Huang Hao's confident look, the people around immediately became respectful. While packing their things, they also looked at Huang Hao cautiously, as if he were some big shot, which made Huang Hao feel a bit awkward.

It wasn't anything else, his social anxiety was acting up...

At this time.

Dense footsteps suddenly appeared. Everyone's expression changed, and Huang Hao's face also changed.

So fast?

However, looking at the figures suddenly rushing into this dilapidated small village, everyone relaxed. They were their own people.

But the guns they were pointing at each other were not lowered.

And the number of people on the opposite side was not large, only twenty-something.

Seeing this small number of people, Huang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Join us, the Empire's army will be here soon."

The officer on the opposite side frowned, panting slightly:

"I know."

Then his gaze swept toward the dozens of people on Huang Hao's side:

"Are you trying to escape?"

Huang Hao saw this and knew this was another idealist. This kind of officer was seen a lot in movies. Huang Hao helplessly said:

"We don't want to either, Officer."

"But there are only this many people."

"What can we use to fight the Empire's tanks?"

"And the Empire's tanks are almost here."

"If we don't run now, there's only one way to die."

Huang Hao's words won the approval of the soldiers behind him. Many soldiers wanted to retreat and leave, fearing that the officer opposite would give some order.

And hearing Huang Hao's words, seeing the movements of the soldiers behind Huang Hao.

The officer opposite was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to lower their guns:

"Hand over all the grenades and explosives."

"Then you'd better stay here."

"As long as you avoid the Empire's troops, you can head east, all the way to Moscow."

Huang Hao was confused:

"Stay here?"

The officer opposite nodded and said:

"That's right."

"I'll go draw them away."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only was Huang Hao stunned, but the friends in the live stream room were also stunned.

It had always been the officer letting the soldiers die, but now it was the officer dying to save the soldiers?

Huang Hao's brain went blank for a moment:

"Why?"

"You are an officer."

The Soviet old man beside him seemed to have sensed something, his gaze became firm, and he looked at the grenades at his waist.

The officer opposite looked at Huang Hao's shocked expression and showed a smile:

"I am an officer, that's true."

"But at the same time, I am also a political commissar, a party member."

"You are still young."

"You are the future of the Soviet Union."

"Try your best... to live on."

After the officer finished speaking, he patted Huang Hao on the shoulder, then waved his hand. The soldiers behind him stepped forward and collected all the grenades they could find from Huang Hao's dozens of people, tied them together, and made them into cluster grenades.

After collecting them, the officer opposite turned and led his men away, heading in the direction they came from.

Suddenly.

The Soviet old man beside Huang Hao walked forward and followed the officer's team in front. Huang Hao came to his senses and subconsciously grabbed the Soviet old man's wrist:

"You're going too?"

The Soviet old man turned his head, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to take off Huang Hao's hand:

"Kid."

"Is it possible that I am also a party member?"

"The political commissar is right."

"You young little guys are the future of the Soviet Union. Let me make a final contribution,"

"Let the seeds of the Soviet Union live on."

"I'm old, I can't run anymore."

"Just stay here." The Soviet old man turned and followed the team going against the current in front.

"Goodbye, kid!"

Leaving behind the dazed Huang Hao and countless confused friends in the live stream room...

Why?

And this video also quickly spread on the internet. ===== CHAPTER 95 =====
