The barren grassland, endless withered grass.
Distant spots of light green forests showing traces of life, the camera gradually shifts, freezing from under the light blue sky onto a corner of the grassland.
Double Sniper Past
Prypiat, Ukraine
Lieutenant Price
22nd Airborne Special Forces
"Oh~"
Seeing the mission prompt in the bottom left corner, Liu Peijia's eyes lit up. "Playing Price this old immortal really is something. Let me develop this old immortal properly!"
"The sister-in-law is making dumplings for the first time, how fresh!"
Chertown once experienced a severe nuclear leak, and many artistic works bear its trace.
For example, the spiritual realm's past work "Ark of the Apocalypse" featured Chertown's history.
In the game,
The two wore ghillie suits resembling withered grass. If Captain McMillan hadn't moved, Liu Peijia wouldn't have even noticed a teammate lying beside him on the grass.
"The radiation is too strong, we'd better move forward."
Captain McMillan: "Follow me."
With that, he stood up and advanced into the depths.
Liu Peijia, carrying his beloved sniper rifle, followed closely behind Captain McMillan.
"Sniper!?"
"Isn't this my main body?" He was excited!
"Stop being silly!" Seeing Liu Peijia, playing Price, standing still, Captain McMillan cursed and said sternly, "It's all radiation zones nearby. Absorbing too much will finish us sooner or later."
"Oh, oh."
Liu Peijia, snapping back to reality, had no time to admire the beautiful form of the camouflage sniper rifle and closely followed the captain's steps.
This mission had only one objective – to eliminate Zakhaev, who was attempting to create nuclear weapons to destroy the world.
Of course, looking in the rearview mirror, Zakhaev was still alive, albeit missing an arm.
This level was merely a recreation of a past scene to allow players to experience the fun of assassination.
Integrating memories into the main storyline, a certain unnamed designer felt they had learned a new trick.
Back in the game,
The two arrived near a small thatched hut. Captain McMillan raised his hand to signal a halt. "Enemy sighted, patrol team ahead."
"They're wearing camouflage. As long as you crouch low and slow down your steps, you won't be discovered."
"Take this guy out when the other one isn't paying attention."
Hearing this, Liu Peijia immediately set up his sniper rifle, held his breath, and when the patrol personnel reached the center of the crosshairs, he pulled the trigger.
*Pop—*
Like a leaf rustling in the wind, without attracting any attention from others, the patrol personnel had fallen.
"He's down."
"Let's go."
After a short period of stealth, they encountered another wave of guards, numbering seven or eight.
Clearly, it was impossible to eliminate them all silently and instantly.
This time, Liu Peijia was no longer low-key. He picked up the AK he had salvaged from a corpse and mowed them down with a burst of gunfire, going for a direct assault.
"We've been discovered! Get to cover!"
"Woof woof!!"
"There's a dog in the grass!"
Captain McMillan's voice was mixed with the barking of dogs. Before Liu Peijia could even distinguish it, he was pounced on by a suddenly appearing dog.
"Roar—!!"
The fierce wild dog ferociously bit at Liu Peijia's face. One bite stained the screen red, and with two more, Price was gasping for air.
It was worth noting that he was playing on medium difficulty, and this power was comparable to elite snipers on veteran mode. Three bites and he'd be a goner.
"Damn it!"
*Crack!*
"Awoo~"
Liu Peijia was furious. Operating Price, he twisted the wild dog's neck with his bare hands.
Scrambling up from the grass in a disheveled state, Liu Peijia was met with Captain McMillan's scolding: "What the hell was that just now? You trying to get us all killed? Hurry up and advance... don't do that again."
Liu Peijia's Russian-style infiltration had significantly increased the difficulty of the assassination mission.
"I want to contribute, hurry up and kill that dog-like Zakhaev."
In reality, Liu Peijia no longer casually held a bullet casing in his mouth. He slowly lit a mosquito coil and hung it on his lips, instantly enveloping him in smoke. His spirits lifted considerably.
"Damn it, it's just killing someone."
"So what if we're exposed? I'll kill him head-on!"
In response, the viewers expressed their accustomed indifference.
'Trying to make Liu Peijia follow the rules? Impossible.'
'McMillan: You're the worst soldier I've ever led!'
'Indeed, like father, like son. No wonder Price is so irritable with new recruits.'
'Russian-style infiltration, not a trace of a sniper's immersion, 23333'
'The authentic Grandpa Price wouldn't directly engage. Liu Peijia is still in the rash Old Mac's era.'
'Streamer, you're ruining the atmosphere a bit. Focus on the theme of assassination!'
......
"Hahaha, then I'll get serious."
Liu Peijia scratched his head apologetically, discarded the AK, and switched to a sniper rifle equipped with a silencer, creating an atmosphere of stealth assassination for the viewers.
Clearing out a large number of guards with a sniper rifle was a bit time-consuming, but it had the advantage of concealment. In the subsequent battles, Liu Peijia and Captain McMillan cooperated seamlessly.
They made their way to a cemetery, where crosses and tombstones adorned the graves.
*Thump-thump-thump—*
The roar of helicopter engines caught the captain's attention. He immediately prone-crawled on the grass: "Enemy helicopter incoming, get down!"
Seeing the captain instantly dive into the grass, Liu Peijia followed suit, easily evading the enemy aircraft's reconnaissance.
After the helicopter flew away, Liu Peijia continued to follow the captain's steps.
Their mission now was to find a suitable ambush point and seize the opportunity to snipe Zakhaev.
*Whoosh~~~*
Suddenly,
A chilling wind blew past Liu Peijia's ears, and the background music also turned eerily ominous. Under the hazy gray sky, it felt like a scene from a horror movie.
As a cold wind blew into his collar from within the house, he subconsciously shrunk his neck and focused even more.
In the game,
Liu Peijia continued to follow Captain McMillan. On the grassland covered with yellowish withered grass, two figures in ghillie suits moved like quiet virgins and fast-moving rabbits, one after the other.
"Get down! Now!"
While running, Captain McMillan suddenly dropped to the ground, his voice more tense than ever.
Liu Peijia, reacting too late, froze for less than a second before witnessing a scene he would never forget.
Six or seven tanks lined up in a long convoy, with hundreds of patrolling soldiers on both sides conducting reconnaissance.
Barely half a second too late, Liu Peijia, now prone, was spotted by the patrolling team.
Then,
He was met with a barrage of gunfire as dense as firecrackers...
*Tut-tut-tut—*
[The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of millions is merely a statistic – Joseph Stalin]
As the famous quote appeared, Liu Peijia hadn't even recovered.
He was dead already?
The careless habits he had developed from previous battles all came back to haunt him at this moment.
If he had prone-crawled the moment he heard the captain's instruction, perhaps he could have avoided being discovered.
But was that really the case?
"Get down! Now!"
Upon reviving, Liu Peijia immediately prone-crawled at the instruction. The enemy patrol soldiers naturally did not discover him.
"It's just about hiding, simp..."
Before he could finish the word "simple," dense gunfire erupted again.
The famous quote followed immediately.
What was going on?
Liu Peijia was bewildered. He hadn't been discovered, so why was he shot?
"Again!"
Unconvinced, Liu Peijia revived and continued to prone-crawl, but he still couldn't escape the fate of being activated and dying.
He was completely dumbfounded.
"I clearly dodged well enough, why was I still taken down?!"
......
