Chapter 266: Chapter 157: [Normandy Landing] The Complete Collapse of the Axis Powers (6.2k Double Chapter)_2
Blue Star players know it’s a game, so they naturally don’t feel any oppression or fear, just a bit of nervousness.
But now, except for those two.
The twenty or thirty people on the boat are all NPCs; some are praying, some are terrified, and others are trembling, because for them, life is only singular.
From this perspective, one can better appreciate the fear brought by war.
Fang Ming and Yu Feng sighed as well, knowing that all of this was fake, but this damned Polestar Company has given every NPC a backstory.
If an NPC soldier dies here, even NPCs on the other side of the ocean will break down in sadness.
Not far ahead of the two, a soldier was holding a pocket watch, looking at a photo inside, counting money.
Due to a few body lengths of distance, Yu Feng and Fang Ming couldn’t see the photo clearly.
But it was clear it was a woman.
The soldier was looking at the photo, moving his lips, saying something.
Seeing this.
Yu Feng and Fang Ming shook their heads, and Fang Ming said:
"Another one raising a flag before the battle."
"Don’t these ’Earth’ people know that raising flags before a battle is an easy way to die?"
"It’s probably about his girlfriend again."
"Counting money, he’s probably thinking about what gift to buy after it’s over."
"But it’s tough to survive to the end."
The live stream chat was stirring things up, egging Fang Ming to go tease the soldier.
Plus, those watching Fang Ming were also up for causing trouble.
Fang Ming, seeing the barrage on the screen, didn’t think much and approached, standing in front of the soldier.
As soon as he got there.
The soldier put away the pocket watch, looked up at Fang Ming with slightly furrowed brows:
"What do you want?"
Looking at the live stream barrage, Fang Ming said according to their prompts:
"Is that your girlfriend?"
"She’s very pretty."
Seeing Fang Ming speak, the chat was even more excited.
[Hahaha, Xiao Ming is brave, isn’t this guy going to hit him?]
[Fight, fight!!!]
[You guys are so bad, but I like it~]
[What do you think the NPC’s reaction will be?]
[I think he’ll beat Xiao Ming up.]
[Why do you all think about hitting him? Can’t he get a beating instead?!]
[Is there a difference?!]
However.
The soldier’s next words rendered everyone silent.
Seeing Fang Ming’s mischievous manner, without a hint of nervousness, the soldier, though curious, answered seriously:
"No, that’s my mother."
Once he said that.
The live stream chat fell silent immediately, and Fang Ming also felt a tingling on his scalp, oh, this....
How to continue from here?
Fang Ming’s lips twitched, feeling very awkward:
"Uh... I thought it was your girlfriend."
"Isn’t it usually a girlfriend’s photo that’s put in a pocket watch?"
He looked to Yu Feng for help.
Yu Feng was holding back laughter on his side, spreading his hands indicating he was helpless.
The soldier seemed unwilling to talk more with Fang Ming, and said:
"I don’t have a girlfriend, do you need something?"
"If not, get ready for battle."
Seeing this, Fang Ming could only dryly say:
"Uh... nothing."
"Just reminding you, it’s almost time to charge, stop wishing on your pocket watch, better leave a last word."
However.
Upon hearing this, the soldier was visibly angry, his tone somewhat disdainful:
"Oh, what a cold joke."
"But I really don’t like it, because I will definitely survive."
Fortunately, Fang Ming had a thick skin, and after the initial embarrassment, he quickly adjusted himself, laughing as he faced the angry soldier:
"Don’t be mad, I mean well."
These NPCs didn’t know what they were about to face, but Fang Ming and Yu Feng knew well that the chances of surviving the first wave landing, especially on the front lines, were slim to none.
"But I do hope you survive."
The soldier, with a serious expression, said:
"Thank you."
"But I really didn’t like the joke you just made."
"I will definitely survive."
Observing the soldier’s unwavering determination and certainty in his voice, Fang Ming and the Blue Star viewers on the live stream shivered, for them it was just a game, life or death didn’t matter.
But from this NPC’s perspective, death was final....
Fang Ming and the viewers in the live stream realized that their comments just now were a bit excessive; Fang Ming watched the soldier and thought for a while before speaking:
"Uh... do you have any wishes?"
"Like after the war ends?"
This soldier wasn’t sure if he would survive the ’Battle of Normandy’ in ’Earth’s’ history.
But if this soldier had any regrets or unfulfilled wishes, Fang Ming might be able to help fulfill them or at least visit his grave to let him know.
Just like the previous activities where they searched for the other side of a letter.
Hearing Fang Ming’s words.
The soldier paused for a moment and then said:
"I want to take my mom to London once the war is over."
"She spent her whole life at the farm, caring for my grandparents, taking care of our whole family, and never saw the outside world."
"She always talks about wanting to see London, but she hasn’t even left the small town."
"Always saying it’s a waste of money, doesn’t want to go."
"But now... I have saved enough money."
At this moment, Fang Ming, Yu Feng, along with the Blue Star viewers in the live stream, all felt a ’boom’ in their heads... it exploded.
Fang Ming took several deep breaths, trying to keep his voice steady:
"Uh... we will win, brother."
"Your mother will be proud of you by then."
"You will surely survive."
Seeing this, the soldier also looked at Fang Ming’s face, seriously saying:
"Thank you."
Then, Fang Ming could no longer hold back and returned next to Yu Feng.
