Chapter 443: The screen protector installer never looks back at the explosion! |
At this moment!
Everyone's gaze focused on where the C4 detonated!
Amidst the flying debris of bricks and rubble!
Thick smoke and dust billowed into the sky!
And just at this moment!
A helicopter happened to pass over the explosion!
The powerful wind pressure instantly acted like an invisible giant hand, slapping away the rising thick dust!
Crumbled rubble scattered everywhere, and within the broken concrete, twisted and ferocious steel reinforcement bars stretched out like wildly growing vines after rain, reaching out from the solid concrete, menacing and aggressive—
A huge gap nearly three meters wide suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
And the next moment.
Boom—!!!
The helicopter's machine gun rotated again, initiating its sweep!
And the roars from the Blue team simultaneously erupted!
"Go—go—go—!!!"
"Enter the point—!!!"
"En—ter—the—point—!!!"
Whoosh—!!!
The venue exploded with excitement!
Witnessed by players across four full floors!
Under the direct observation of media from around the world!
Shourd's ingenious idea had actually been perfectly realized at this moment!
"Ah—???"
"What the f—? What the f—?!"
"Really... really possible... to blow open walls so casually?"
"My god—physical destruction—"
"That means..."
"Hiss—"
"Those ruined towers, damaged buildings, collapsed houses in GW's Battlefield Winds promotional trailer before..."
"All... all of them..."
"Are real! Not CG rendering! Damn! That's the true feature of Battlefield Winds! That's the characteristic of the Golden Engine!!!"
—!!!
As an uncontrollably excited voice rose from the crowd!
The entire venue instantly erupted in uproar!
Click click click—
Buzz buzz buzz—
Instantly!
Camera flashes went wild across the venue!
And the crowd surged with excitement!
Unbelievable!
At this moment!
It seemed people finally understood what Golden Wind meant by [unprecedented gaming experience] in their promotional tweets!
Admittedly!
Before the game started, Battlefield Winds had indeed partially demonstrated some features of the Golden Engine—
Whether it was the cold, solemn lighting rendering, or the grand scene creation capabilities, these could indeed be considered distinguishing characteristics from other engines to some extent.
But.
For "Battlefield Winds," those didn't seem to be the most crucial aspects.
Because the feature that best showcases the Golden Engine's power was only being revealed now!
That is Battlefield Winds' free, even recklessly unrestrained real-time physical destruction effects!
As the wall was violently blasted open!
The defenders inside, Qiezi and xt, didn't even have time to react!
They were instantly killed by the Blue team pouring in through the breach!
Attack and defense reversed!
The unprecedented new physical destruction system gave Battlefield Winds infinite possibilities of rapidly changing situations!
And on this turbulent Bund connected in real-time by battlefield voice channels!
The chain reaction triggered by Shourd's sudden inspiration to blow up the wall was absolutely terrifying!
Almost instantly, soldiers across the entire battlefield learned this astonishing information!
And the battlefield situation was instantly rewritten by this experimental explosion!
Boom—boom—boom—!!!
Ground attack aircraft swept over the terrain!
A Blue squad originally hiding in buildings to guard against infantry fighting vehicles was instantly hit by a missile right in their faces!
In the massive explosion, the single-story small building instantly shattered and collapsed!
Two Blue engineers were killed on the spot, while the remaining two couldn't escape their fate, directly crushed into unrecognizable flesh and blood by the collapsing floor slabs!
—!!!
The M1A2 main battle tank roared!
Ruthless artillery fire blasted residential building floors into fragments, a six-story Republican-era style building was left riddled with damage!
Fierce flames surged from broken windows along with flying rubble and glass!
Red team soldiers' bodies were thrown like ragdolls by the rising flames and rolling smoke, casualties were severe!
The intensity of battle escalated again!
Rising flames and explosions instantly plunged the entire Bund into unrestrained destruction and bombardment without any limits!
Buildings along the streets continuously collapsed and broke apart!
Terrifying craters appeared on the main roads like shocking wounds, exposing the earth's flesh!
Thick smoke crisscrossed throughout the city, blocking out the sky and sun!
And amidst all the devastation!
Individual living soldiers still defended their positions that had turned into ruins, launching attacks and advances against enemy forces!
The terrifying yet awe-inspiring modern warfare felt like a heavy hammer—every explosion was another blow to everyone's hearts!
[Insane! Unprecedented physical destruction effects! Unmatched immersive war experience! Battlefield Winds truly lives up to being another masterpiece from today's world-class FPS game company!!!]
[MakeCNFPSgreatagain! Sam never speaks empty words! From second-gen FPS to today's amazing physical destruction effects! Just as players say—Sam never falls from the god pedestal, because the pedestal always follows Sam!!!]
[True war experience! Superb physical destruction effects! Who says the Golden Engine has no outstanding features? Golden Wind will deliver their absolutely crazy answer with the most direct and powerful punch!]
...
Write! Write like crazy!
Praise! Praise with all your might!
Right now!
Even more excited than the countless players at the venue and worldwide, even bordering on manic, were the media!
Crazy!
You have to understand!
Compared to regular players, becoming game media reviewers or editors means they must have higher sensitivity toward games.
And now.
What the various game features displayed in Battlefield Winds' unique 64-player large battlefield actual gameplay demonstration led by streamers meant—no one understood better than these game media professionals.
Of course.
You have to admit.
Compared to the previous Call of Duty versus Gollum showdown, Komera's Conflict Zone this time wasn't as absurd or laughable as Gollum.
But.
Compared to Battlefield Winds, it ultimately remained too childish and insignificant.
We acknowledge you've tried your best.
But unfortunately, you're like a primitive in the Stone Age who mastered spear-making.
While you might be skilled within your tribe.
When facing a Gundam, you ultimately appear... somewhat... humorous?
Don't you think?
...
"...I say we shouldn't capture the point yet, follow me!"
The battlefield was in complete chaos!
At this moment!
Watching from afar the constantly flashing flames and billowing smoke at the artificial island of Shanghai Center building in the war's central zone.
Aplus, who had led his squad to E point coffee shop via speedboat, looked completely calm.
Exactly!
Just as the battlefield intensity kept escalating!
With C point clearly becoming the storm center of firefights, the meat grinder of the battlefield.
Big Bro immediately changed tactics, took an alternative approach, leading his squad across the river via speedboat directly to E point coffee shop right at Blue team's doorstep!
"Right now, both sides have committed too many troops at C point, going there won't change the chaotic situation,"
Big Bro said while organizing equipment, holding his assault rifle ready:
"We'll start from this point, repeatedly sneak attack their D and E points, pulling Blue team's forces back from the front lines, stretching them thin."
Rear infiltration operation!
Exactly!
As a professional player, Big Bro's tactical thinking was very clear and logical.
However!
"Before that, we shouldn't alert the enemy yet."
As he spoke!
Big Bro deliberately bypassed E point.
Because according to game mechanics, E point currently in completely empty state would enter capture status once they stepped on it, until they completely filled the capture bar and declared ownership of this point.
Big Bro wanted to capture this point, surrounding Wei to rescue Zhao.
But not now.
"Chris, use your rocket launcher to blow open that wall."
Following Big Bro's pointing direction, everyone saw a small shop standing at the corner of Blue team's spawn road.
Essentially right at Blue team's doorstep.
"Huh? Why?"
Chris was very confused, asking while raising his personal rocket launcher.
—Boom!!!
With an explosion,
the shop's wall was blown wide open.
Big Bro led the squad through the breach:
"You'll know soon enough."
Meanwhile, the livestream chat barrage was full of confusion—
"What does Big Bro mean by this?"
'Ambushing here waiting for enemy squads?'
'Blocking the doorstep to ambush enemy squads?'
Shouldn't be, this game allows direct squad deployment, or at least deployment to D point closer to C point, won't catch anyone here
"Not sure, but Big Bro must have his considerations"
Indeed a mysterious retired veteran detective, completely unable to decipher Big Bro's thought process
"Hahahaha..."
...
While they were talking!
Rumble rumble rumble—
Suddenly!
The sound of load-bearing wheels rolling interrupted viewers' speculation and discussion.
They heard Big Bro hiding in the breach's shadows lower his voice:
"They're coming!"
Immediately after!
They saw him pull out a full four bundles of C4 from his tactical pouch!
And the next second!
As the rumbling sound grew closer, a Blue team infantry fighting vehicle suddenly appeared on the main road, driving right past the shop's breach!
Big Bro acted decisively, swiftly darting out like an agile cat, with two soft thuds attaching two C4 packs to the infantry fighting vehicle,
Then flipping back out through the shop breach, running a couple steps to catch up with the completely unaware vehicle with its cannon pointing straight ahead, tossing the remaining two C4 packs onto it.
After completing everything!
The infantry fighting vehicle rumbled away, and Big Bro turned back facing away from the vehicle.
One man and one vehicle back-to-back, moving further apart in opposite directions.
And Big Bro raised the detonator remote in his hand.
Screen protectors never look back at explosions.
Click.
Boom—!!!
Under the brilliant sunlight, the rumbling forward-moving infantry fighting vehicle, like a train enjoying hotpot and singing, transformed into the most spectacular firework at Blue team's base entrance amidst a ball of soaring flames.
Big Bro smiled.
The squad smiled.
Everyone in the livestream chat smiled.
They completely didn't hear, at this very moment, within the Blue team camp, a roar erupted filled with sky-reaching resentment and impotent furious screams—
"Ahhhhhhhhh—!!!"
"F—ck! F—ck you!!!"
"Damn home-stealing thieves! I just got taken out by Red team's armed helicopter as soon as I left spawn! Just respawned and got taken out by home-stealing dogs again!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh—!!!"
"You sour radish-eating scum—!!!"
"I'll kill you all! Ahhhhh! F—k f—k f—k—!!!"
"Someone's stealing home! Someone's stealing home! Headquarters main base! Let's kill these thieves with me! Ahhhhhhh!!!"
