Chapter 98: [Siege of Leningrad] Survival Challenge (4k)

Huang Hao, who hadn't woken up yet, looked at the barrage in a daze and woke up instantly:

"Huh?!!!"

He hurriedly checked the time, and seeing it was only 10:37, he breathed a sigh of relief:

"Isn't it just 10:37?"

"I was forced to exit the game at 10:20 last night, and then went to get the delivery, now it's 10:37,"

"Isn't that just ten minutes... holy crap?!"

"12 hours?!!!"

After the reminder from the friends in the live stream room, Huang Hao discovered something wrong.

Why is the moon outside so bright?!

No!

That's not the moon, it's the sun!

Huang Hao was in a mess, looking at the bottles of "Vodka" and "Imperial Beer", as if looking at the devil:

"Is my alcohol tolerance that bad?"

The live stream room looked at the dumbfounded Huang Hao and laughed like crazy, hurriedly reminding him.

【Stop being dumb, continue unboxing!】

【If the streamer doesn't want to drink it, mail it to me! I'll buy it at a high price! To honor my future father-in-law!!!】

【That brother above, I always feel like you want to get your father-in-law drunk and do something bad.】

【No way, the father-in-law is watching too closely...】

Huang Hao was still in a dazed state, just responding to the friends:

"Okay, okay, unboxing immediately, don't rush, don't rush."

"Let me slow down first."

The whole person was like in a daze, raising his hand to take the things in the box, until all the things were taken out, he was still a bit unbelievable, but the big sun outside was indeed real.

An artifact for falling asleep in a second.

Shaking his head, Huang Hao turned on the cold air in the room. The cold wind blew, and he slowed down a bit.

Then his gaze looked at the things taken out on the table:

"Okay, brothers, slowed down."

"Let's look at the exclusive souvenirs first."

Two boxes, one box was wine, one box was food, "Black Bread", "Rye Bread" and so on, Huang Hao wasn't very interested.

And under each box, there was a box containing "Earth" IP exclusive souvenirs.

Huang Hao picked it up and showed it to the friends in the live stream room,

On the pitch-black box.

Printed with a water-blue planet, then endless starry sky. Compared with the "Earth" world map in the game, this three-dimensional water-blue planet looked better.

Then Huang Hao opened the first box:

"A bit heavy."

"Let's see what this is~"

"Hmm?"

"Soviet Federation T34 tank model?"

What came into view of Huang Hao and the friends in the live stream room was an all-metal T34 tank model. Huang Hao picked it up and zoomed in on the live stream room perspective.

The details of this T34 tank could be clearly seen.

Then he picked up the T34 tank model, and underneath there were glasses:

"Glasses?"

Placing the T34 tank model on the floor, Huang Hao put on the glasses.

The scene in front of him flashed suddenly, the perspective shrank several times, only above the T34 tank, and as his thoughts moved.

Through the signal transmitted by the glasses, the T34 tank on the floor moved slowly. The roar of its engine, although not loud, was exactly the same as the T34 tank in the game.

After playing for a while, Huang Hao nodded:

"This model is made very carefully, suitable for children to play battles, or for collection-oriented players to collect."

This kind of toy battle had long been popularized on Blue Star.

However, if Polar Star organized a toy battle exclusive to the "World War II" series, Huang Hao felt it could also be popular for a while, after all, the popularity of this game itself was there.

Then it was the other box.

Huang Hao picked it up and shook it, and said:

"A bit light."

"Let's see what this is."

As the box opened, what came into view this time were a few small red boxes.

Huang Hao opened them one by one, and his eyes lit up.

"Red Star Medal?"

Huang Hao picked up the medal and looked at it. It was exactly the Soviet Red Star Medal that the Soviet veteran's son had won in the game.

It's just that this medal was engraved with Huang Hao's name in the game. Huang Hao held the Soviet Red Star Medal, pointed to the name of the Soviet Federation on it, and said to the live stream room:

"I can also be considered a Red Star warrior of the Soviet Union."

Then he picked up other things, a "Stalin pipe", a "Soviet engineer shovel", a "propaganda poster" with images and words about defending the motherland.

Four things were all the exclusive souvenirs in the gift box. Huang Hao summarized:

"The unboxing time this time was a bit long, but the things are really good."

"They are all things from 'Earth', which is very novel. Other games have done it before, but not as complete as Polar Star Game."

"Since they are early access products, everyone don't rush, they should be on the market soon."

"When the time comes, those who like them can go buy them."

"The souvenirs are also great, but if you want to get them, you should participate in activities. Everyone wait for Polar Star Game to launch activities later."

After speaking, Huang Hao scratched his head and looked at the time. Anyway, he had already slept:

"Brothers, continue the game."

"I should be sober in the game!"

"CG? What CG?"

"Red Square Parade? You've all seen it? Then I'll go watch it myself after the stream, enter the game first!!!"

Huang Hao thought about the game and entered the virtual pod.

This time he wasn't rejected, and the screen flashed before his eyes.

He entered "World War II: Rise of the Empire" again.

As he opened his eyes, Huang Hao looked at the ceiling of the wooden house and slowly stood up. He moved around and found no one in the room.

The hunger of an empty stomach struck.

Seeing the potatoes on the table, he hesitated a bit.

Walking over, he saw the note left for him. Huang Hao then picked up the potatoes and ate them in three or two bites,

Then he picked up the gun placed beside him and walked out.

Only after going out did he find that it was evening again...

Huang Hao couldn't help but twitch his mouth. It was already evening when he came yesterday, right?

The time he slept in the game seemed to be longer than in reality.

Walking in the direction he came yesterday, he soon saw the soldiers digging trenches. The women and children in the trenches looked at him with smiles.

It made Huang Hao a bit awkward, and he coughed lightly:

"Where is the captain in the village?"

The soldier below said:

"Officer, they are still patrolling over there, do you want me to call them?"

Huang Hao looked at the direction the soldier pointed and said:

"I'll go myself."

After speaking, he walked toward the distance, then suddenly stopped and turned to ask:

"Hmm... how long did I sleep?"

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

"After that cup of vodka, you slept for about 24 hours."

As soon as the words fell, the women and children around couldn't hold back their laughter anymore.

Huang Hao's face turned red, and he fled in a panic.

Soon he found the militia captain patrolling on the west side. Seeing Huang Hao coming over, the militia captain looked apologetic:

"Sorry, I didn't know you..."

Huang Hao hurriedly raised his hand:

"Okay, maybe it's because I'm too tired."

"So... you know."

"I have to go, I can't delay too long."

The militia captain expressed understanding, then smiled and said:

"I've prepared food and everything for you."

"But the soldiers also dug for a day, why not rest for another night."

Huang Hao saw this and turned to look at the trenches, thought about it, and helplessly said:

"Okay."

Mainly because he was full of energy after sleeping for a day, and the others dug for a day. It wouldn't be right to rush on the road overnight.

Hearing Huang Hao's words, the militia captain smiled:

"Go, I'll call them."

"You have to leave tomorrow, you must rest well tonight."

Feeling the militia captain's enthusiasm, Huang Hao couldn't help but sigh. The attitude of the Soviet Federation's people toward soldiers was really nothing to say.

Following behind the militia captain, Huang Hao looked at those trenches and said:

"Just relying on these trenches, it's still unlikely to resist the Empire."

"Better find time to take people away."

"Put camouflage on these trenches, and we can trap one Imperial tank after another."

Huang Hao was sincerely suggesting to this militia captain.

The militia captain smiled and said:

"We were born here, grew up here, and grew old here."

"We have been here for generations."

"Why should we leave just because the Empire people came?"

"And if we leave, what about Moscow behind us."

"Although we can't help much."

"But as a 'party member', I still have the awareness. Even if we die here, we have to give those guys from the Empire some color."

"What's more, we are not fighting alone."

"See these trenches?"

A look of pride appeared on the militia captain's face, and he said:

"You soldiers are fighting on the front line, and we who stay in the rear haven't done nothing."

"Thanks to the time you fought for."

"The villages around such trenches have almost been built."

"Next, the women in our village will go to support Mozhaisk, helping the defenders of Moscow dig trench lines."

"I heard that they have already dug dozens of kilometers there, and we have to speed up the progress, otherwise we won't be able to help the motherland."

"The remaining children will stay with us to resist the Empire's troops."

"We want the Empire's beasts to know that the Soviet Union cannot be subdued!"

The militia captain's powerful words smashed into the minds of Huang Hao and the live stream room crowd.

Huang Hao was in a trance, as if the person in front of him was not an NPC, but a person who truly had feelings and had lived on this land for years.

Otherwise, how could an NPC say words containing such emotions?

With a feeling of inexplicable shock, Huang Hao wanted to upload this conversation, but suddenly remembered that the activity had ended, but it didn't matter.

Huang Hao uploaded this video to Sky Shark Live, his personal space.

And on this side, he followed the militia captain to call back the soldiers.

The crowd was taken by the militia captain to the house, and then started a fire. This time, they didn't persuade them to drink.

As the crowd was full and satisfied, the soldiers who had worked for a day slowly fell asleep.

And Huang Hao, who couldn't sleep, walked out of the house, looked at the women and children who were still working, and joined the digging team until midnight approached.

The women and children couldn't hold on anymore, and the digging today was finally completed.

And Huang Hao climbed out, sat on the edge of the trench, and felt the pain in his body and the exhaustion of his whole body being sore and numb simulated by the virtual pod, staring blankly.

Such labor was very hard, and digging such deep trenches was even more strenuous.

He didn't dare to think how these women and children persisted, and they still had to go to support Moscow...

Staring blankly for a while, Huang Hao shook his head.

Looking at the barrage in the live stream room, he then opened the Polar Star official website and directly found the time map.

Put it in the live stream room.

According to what the militia captain said during the day and the communication during dinner at night, Huang Hao soon found his position and the position of Mozhaisk.

Originally, he didn't know what those gray lines on the map were.

But with the militia captain's explanation, plus the long gray line there in Mozhaisk, it wasn't hard to guess that these represented trenches one after another.

And such trenches were spread all over the villages in front of Moscow.

There were three long trenches in front of Moscow. Some players calculated roughly, just based on the calculation on the map, the length of those three lines combined.

Currently, it was more than 500 kilometers.

And it was still being dug continuously. By the time the Empire attacked, it was afraid it would be seven or eight hundred kilometers long.

This calculation truly shocked the Blue Star players.

After all, the scene of digging trenches in this village was right in front of them, only women and children, the men had all gone to the front line. How many people had to be mobilized to dig such long trenches?

The cohesion of the Soviet Union was once again reflected.

Huang Hao waited to set off the next day.

And on the other side.

Sky Shark streamer Duan Yu, who was in Leningrad, was not so lucky.

Because he died in the level, Duan Yu, who restarted after it ended, entered the game again. It was just that it was clearly the Battle of Moscow, but he restarted in Leningrad.

Good news, it wasn't occupied by the Empire here, and Blue Star players didn't know what 【Siege of Leningrad】 represented.

Bad news, the Empire's troops were outside the city, and he couldn't run out...

Blue Star streamer Duan Yu, who knew nothing, looked at Leningrad in front of him.

It was as if he had taken the script of 【Battle of Kiev】 again, being besieged, chaotic, and then ruthlessly beaten to death?

Damn!

Duan Yu couldn't help but cover his face and roar to the sky. Fortunately, it was still in the siege stage.

Subsequently, Duan Yu changed the title of the live stream room to.

【Leningrad Survival Challenge, 1/100 days.】

While asking other apprentices in the shop, his consciousness entered the player forum to check the news.

Now the troops in Leningrad, because of the terrain and environment.

Did not collapse strategically like the Kiev plain.

Instead, relying on the terrain, environment, and the city's defensive line, the military and civilians were resisting the Empire's army with one heart.

Duan Yu's identity this time was a carpenter's apprentice, following an old master. After briefly understanding his situation, Duan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the live stream room:

"Brothers, it's stable this time."

"With an apprentice identity, I don't have to worry about food and drink. I just checked the player forum, the Empire has been surrounding here for almost a month and hasn't broken in yet."

"It can be seen that it's safe here."

"And there is no chaos like in Kiev, there are a large number of troops maintaining order, and there are very few cases of smashing and grabbing."

"This survival challenge should be able to persist for 100 days." ===== CHAPTER 99 =====
