Chapter 1241 A World Without Games (X)
“Isn't it obvious?” Feng Bujue replied in a matter-of-course tone. “Soldiers.”
“Of course, I can see that this is a military camp. I want to ask who these guys are working for…” the big-bearded man continued.
“They’re definitely not working for Pita,” Feng Bujue replied. “If you want to talk about a position… this troop itself represents a force.”
“How do you know?” the big-bearded man asked again.
“It’s obvious at a glance.” At this moment, Isaac interjected, “Did you see their military emblem and flag?”
“Ah…” the big-bearded man said, “I saw them.” After saying this, he thoughtfully muttered, “I feel… they look familiar. I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before.”
“Have you played *Contra*?” Isaac immediately reminded him.
“Oh!” The big-bearded man exclaimed, suddenly enlightened, raising his voice.
As soon as he raised his voice, the lightning-headed man next to him was startled. The latter raised his hand and… covered the big uncle’s mouth with a slap.
“Are you trying to die!” In the next second, the lightning-headed man lowered his voice and sternly said to the big-bearded man, “We don't even have weapons now. If our whereabouts are exposed, we’ll become live targets!”
“Um…” The big-bearded man nodded and squeezed out a sentence from between the other party's fingers, “Sorry… I wasn’t paying attention.”
Two seconds later, the lightning-headed man let go and wiped the saliva from his palm on the big-bearded man’s clothes.
“Mr. Feng, what do you think of this situation…” Then, the lightning-headed man also looked at Brother Jue and asked.
Feng Bujue didn't answer the question directly, but asked instead, “Have you all played *Contra*?”
“Of course,” Isaac replied. “Almost everyone in the rebel army has played that game.”
“Um.” Brother Jue nodded and said, “Do you know the plot of the game?”
“Uh…”
This question left Isaac, the big-bearded man, and the lightning-headed man dumbfounded.
Indeed, everyone had played *Contra*, but you might not find one person out of a hundred who knew the plot.
“If you want to talk about the plot…” In the end, the big-bearded man replied after thinking for a while, “It’s probably that Schwarzenegger and Stallone teamed up to mow down an entire regiment, and then incidentally wiped out an alien hive?”
“You’re quite good at summarizing,” Feng Bujue smiled. “In a sense, you’ve perfectly summarized the plots of the two *Contra* games on the FC.”
“Hey… thanks for the compliment.” The big-bearded man also smiled. The simple-minded uncle didn’t understand the meaning of Brother Jue’s words at all.
“Then, let me tell you the version that hasn’t been summarized…” In the next second, Feng Bujue straightened his expression and explained, “First of all, the background story of *Contra* is really based on *Aliens*… The prototypes of the two main characters are indeed the Governator and Stallone.”
“Oh…” Isaac and the lightning-headed man’s reaction at this time was as if they were saying—the big-bearded man actually guessed right?
“As a milestone and textbook of horizontal shooting games, *Contra* can be called a pioneering work, and it has a profound impact on all subsequent games of the same type.” Brother Jue's FC small class continued, "It's just that most people... ignore the plot of this game."
Brother Jue paused and then said, “Of course, saying ‘plot’ seems a little inaccurate, because the main content of this game is indeed pew-pew-pew…
“Let’s use the term ‘background story’…
“Generally speaking… on September 12, 2631 in the *Contra* world, a meteorite fell on the Galuga Archipelago (a fictional island) near New Zealand. Two years later, in December 2633, the Federal Army Headquarters received a piece of information; the information showed… that an armed group called Red Falcon had controlled the Galuga Archipelago area and built many bases there, attempting to use aliens to launch a war of aggression.
“Therefore, the special defense force ‘Contra’ sent two members to destroy Red Falcon’s plan.
“As for the result of this secret operation… we all know it; just like the big-bearded man said… two strong men jumped out of a helicopter, mowed down all the living enemies and aliens within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, and then took the helicopter back.”
At this point, Feng Bujue pointed to the camp dozens of meters away and said, “At this moment, this troop in front of us… judging from their red eagle-shaped military flag and emblem, and the soldiers’ appearance, they are definitely Red Falcon.”
“Hey? Wait a minute.” The big-bearded man was suspicious again when he heard this, “Isn’t this the dimension where Pita’s ‘conscious existence’ is? How did it become the world of *Contra* again?”
“You’re mistaken. This is not the world of *Contra*…” Feng Bujue continued, “It’s just that data fragments related to the world of *Contra* have materialized here.”
“Why is this?” Isaac asked, puzzled, “Doesn’t Pita resolutely deny the existence of video games? Then how can there be these things in its conscious dimension?”
“It’s very simple… because the Pita on this timeline also possesses all the memory data of the Pita on another timeline,” Feng Bujue replied. “These data are like the memories of the Zhi Yue Zhe (Knowledge Leapers), which are related information that spans two timelines… This is something that Pita cannot get rid of and is extremely difficult to deal with; therefore, the location of this part of the data is also the ‘loophole’ in Pita’s firewall.”
As Brother Jue spoke, he glanced at the three people around him, “And we… as the key pawns used by a certain higher will to correct space-time paradoxes, are naturally directly sent to this part of the data layer.”
“Um…” The lightning-headed man immediately replied after hearing this, “Sorry, I basically didn’t understand… Mr. Feng, please tell us what to do next.”
“Heh…” Feng Bujue smiled, “Okay~” He turned his head and looked to the other side, “Do you see that tent in the three o’clock direction? If I’m not mistaken (he had already confirmed it through the data perspective… that’s right), that’s where the spare equipment is stored in this camp… Let’s sneak in later, get some equipment, and then mow down all the Red Falcon soldiers here.”
“Hehe, I like this tactic.” The big-bearded man immediately got excited when he heard that he could mow down others.
Isaac and the lightning-headed man obviously didn’t have any objections either. Now that things had come to this, they definitely had to follow the savior’s actions.
Thus, under the leadership of Feng Bujue… the four people quietly and cautiously approached the tent.
Soon, they came to the forest only ten meters away from the tent; at this position, it was indeed impossible to get any closer… otherwise, they would definitely be seen by the guards.
“Okay, this position is fine. You guys wait here.” Feng Bujue whispered after saying this and turned to leave.
“Hey! Where are you going?” The big-bearded man asked quietly in an anxious tone.
“I’m going to go around to the other side of the camp to attract their attention. Once the guards leave, you can rush into the tent from your current position and get the equipment,” Feng Bujue replied.
“Then what about you?” Isaac asked.
“Don’t worry.” Brother Jue waved his hand, “I have plenty of ways.”
These words were very convincing when they came from his mouth, so the other three didn’t stop him.
Just like that, Feng Bujue left alone.
Time passed by second by second. Isaac and the others stayed in place with bated breath, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Fortunately… two minutes later, the stalemate was broken.
They only heard a “bang”, and a cloud of smoke rose from the other end of the camp.
Immediately afterward, cries of “Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Requesting support!” rang out one after another in the camp.
In an instant, all the Red Falcon soldiers ran towards the direction of the explosion. The guards in front of the armory tent were really lured away.
This was the moment that Isaac and the others were waiting for. After quickly exchanging glances, the three of them darted out of the forest and rushed into the tent…
At the same time, on Feng Bujue’s side…
“Ha! Trying to fight me?” Brother Jue was having a great time right now.
While running and jumping in the forest, dodging left and right, he held a water gun (namely the Stellar Cooling Cannon) and went Biu~Biu~Biu~ at the approaching pursuers.
Just now, Feng Bujue had sneaked into the forest on this side of the camp, and then took out two grenades from the Endless Grenade Casing; one, he made into a tripwire mine and hid it on the route between himself and the enemy; the other, he threw directly into the Red Falcon camp’s command post…
It should be noted here that the command post’s tent was the most heavily guarded place in the entire camp; normally speaking, it was impossible for anyone to approach within throwing distance of a grenade silently.
However… Feng Bujue relied on his arm strength, which far exceeded that of normal humans, as well as his precise calculation ability, to throw the grenade from more than eighty meters away to the top of the tent, catching the enemy off guard.
The commander of this camp was really unlucky… He was sitting in the command post’s tent when suddenly he was riddled with holes by shrapnel that pierced through the top of the tent.
With the command post blown up, the camp was in chaos; Feng Bujue struck while the iron was hot, took out the Fraudulent Pocket Watch, used its amplification and voice-changing effects, and combined it with a little ventriloquism, creating shouts of “Enemy attack” and “Requesting support” in the camp.
In this way, all the soldiers in the entire camp were attracted by him—they thought they were being attacked by a large force, but who would have thought… that the enemy was actually just Feng Bujue alone.
The first team of Red Falcon soldiers who were lured into the forest stepped on the tripwire mine without accident, and the explosion blew five or six of them away.
The troops following behind naturally felt more pressure after seeing this scene… after all, they didn’t know that there was only one mine, and they thought there were many traps hidden in the forest; with this concern, their speed naturally slowed down.
With this delay, Feng Bujue had more room to maneuver. He took out his water gun and slingshot, relying on his senses and motor skills, which were far superior to the enemy, and engaged in various guerrilla tactics in the forest, efficiently collecting heads without being harmed.
“Don’t chase! There’s only one enemy! This is a diversion!” Six or seven minutes later, a mid-level commander in the Red Falcon team finally realized the truth and shouted.
Under his command, the soldiers who had chased into the forest all turned around and began to retreat back to the camp.
“Hmph…” Feng Bujue snorted when he saw this and muttered, “It took you seven minutes to realize… Too late.”
Just as he was muttering, he heard…
Tutu tutu tutu tutu…
Several bursts of heavy weapons fire came from the camp, accompanied by some sporadic light weapons fire.
“It seems… they’re fighting over there too.” Feng Bujue knew as soon as he heard it that this was the sound of Isaac and the others engaging in a firefight with the Red Falcon forces after they were armed.
“Huff…” Brother Jue exhaled and turned around, “Well… it’s about time I turned around and charged back, too.”
