5: Chapter 005 First Experience
After a tiring day, Zhou Yang soon received a message from Yang Ruoxue.
Upon learning that his game CG had actually been plagiarized.
Zhou Yang was also quite surprised.
However, after watching the plagiarized game CG, he let out a scoffing laugh.
Copying it like that, he didn't think it could pose any threat to him at all.
What's more, the competition was starting in less than two weeks.
How could they possibly make this game in time?
If he didn't have the system, he wouldn't have been confident at all about finishing this game in two weeks.
"Sister Yang, it's fine. I've already finished nearly half of the game, and it will be ready for beta testing in a few days."
"So fast? Can you guarantee the quality?" Yang Ruoxue was very surprised.
"Yes, I'll let you be the first to experience it."
"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news."
In the following days, the plagiarism by Yiteng Group intensified.
The search rankings for both games were very close.
Everyone wanted to see which of the two games was better.
There was one week left until the competition.
Zhou Yang finally finished the game.
Although this wasn't the full version, it was enough for beta testing.
He was confident that he could finish all the remaining content in the last week.
Saving the completed content on the game creation platform.
Zhou Yang authorized Yang Ruoxue to access the game exclusively.
Subsequently, he sent a private message to Yang Ruoxue.
"Sister Yang, I've sent the game to you. Hurry up and log in to experience it."
On the other side, Yang Ruoxue received Zhou Yang's private message.
Stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that Zhou Yang had really finished it so quickly.
Filled with curiosity, she immediately lay down in the virtual pod.
After installing the game authorized by Zhou Yang, she entered the game.
"Do you want to enter the story experience?"
A line of text popped up before Yang Ruoxue's eyes.
She directly chose yes.
Immediately after, everything went black before her eyes, and she opened them again.
The scene around her had completely changed.
Charred ground, corpses everywhere.
The sound of rumbling explosions kept ringing in her ears, along with the shrill whistling of bullets cutting through the air.
"You turtle's son, why are you still standing there like an idiot! Hurry up and pick up your gun to fight Japan!"
Just then, a loud shout suddenly came from beside her.
Then, a gun was shoved into her hands.
Looking at this very worn-out, retro bolt-action rifle, Yang Ruoxue was completely stunned.
Because she didn't know how to use it.
Before she could come back to her senses, she suddenly felt a great force against her waist.
And then she was kicked to the ground.
"You turtle's son, still standing there, get down! Do you want to die!"
Yang Ruoxue recovered from the pain and looked at the person who had just kicked her.
It was a man with a face covered in soot, wearing tattered cotton clothes that were stained with blood.
He held a bolt-action rifle just like hers in his hand; she didn't know where he had scavenged it from.
He looked at her with an angry expression, speaking words she could understand.
Just then, rumbling explosions sounded all around them.
The tremors from the explosions kicked up a large amount of dust and dirt.
The shockwave from the explosion left Yang Ruoxue dazed and confused, her mind clouded.
An unidentified object suddenly flew in from the sky and slammed into her.
She picked up the unidentified object with her hand, opened her eyes to look at it, and was so scared that she screamed out loud.
Because it was a human arm.
The mangled flesh and ghastly white bone struck her retinas directly.
Only then did she realize that she seemed to be a male soldier.
The veteran who had pushed her down beside her also recovered from the explosion at this moment, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The vibration from the explosion just now had caused him internal injuries.
"Damn Japan, they almost blew me to pieces." The veteran cursed.
Yang Ruoxue was greatly shocked when she heard this curse.
Because she had never heard such profanity before.
The veteran noticed Yang Ruoxue's gaze and grinned, revealing slightly yellowed teeth in his soot-covered face.
"You silly kid, it's not bad that you've survived until now. In a while, those devils will charge up, and we definitely won't survive today."
"Today, if we kill one, it's not a loss; if we kill two, we've made a profit."
Yang Ruoxue listened to the veteran's words without speaking.
She didn't quite understand what the veteran meant.
Just then, the surrounding bombing ceased.
Only the sound of flames burning continued to ring in her ears.
Seeing this, the veteran carefully raised his head and peered out of the trench.
Outside the trench was a flat, open plain.
Fighting in such terrain meant that the defending side was purely using human lives to block the enemy's advance.
All around were burning corpses and wood.
The veteran squinted into the distance and suddenly shouted to Yang Ruoxue: "Japan's tanks are coming up."
Hearing the veteran's words, Yang Ruoxue also poked her head out.
Seeing the carnage everywhere, she felt her stomach churning, and the urge to vomit assaulted her brain.
The veteran quickly noticed her abnormality.
He frowned slightly, then sighed and said: "Sigh, you poor kid, it's your first time on the battlefield, and the fighting is so fierce."
"If you could choose again, would you still come to this battlefield?"
Yang Ruoxue could hear the care and pity in the veteran's words.
For some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest.
She had watched the game CG.
She knew that the veteran in front of her should be from the Sichuan Army.
They had traveled thousands of miles, journeying for months to reach this battlefield to protect their home and country.
But seeing such a tragic scene on the battlefield, Yang Ruoxue was somewhat confused.
Were they really here to protect their home and country? Why did it seem like they were just throwing their lives away?
The veteran didn't get a response from Yang Ruoxue; he just assumed she was scared silly.
Even he, a veteran, felt despair in the face of such a battlefield.
Let alone Yang Ruoxue, a green recruit who was on the battlefield for the first time.
Survivors around kept raising their heads, watching Japan's tanks and infantry constantly approaching the position.
Soon, on the front line of the position, the surviving Chinese soldiers exchanged fire with the Japanese Army.
The sound of grenade explosions rang out continuously.
But against the Japanese Army's tanks, the defenders on the position were helpless.
Under the enemy's infantry-tank coordination tactics, even if soldiers unafraid of death rushed up with grenades, they were shot down before they could reach the tanks.
Yang Ruoxue saw it clearly from the trench behind.
Watching Chinese soldiers rush toward the enemy tanks one by one, only to fall halfway, her heart was filled with shock and fear.
Finally, with a loud bang.
A soldier rushed to the front of a tank, pulled the pin on the grenade, and shoved the bundle of grenades into the tank's tracks.
The explosion swallowed both the tank and the soldier in a sea of fire.
Witnessing this scene, Yang Ruoxue's heart trembled.
Was it worth it?
This thought appeared in her mind.
"Kid, don't space out. The fighting is heating up in front; hurry and follow me." After saying this, the veteran hoisted his gun.
He turned around and nimbly rushed forward along the trench.
Yang Ruoxue followed behind him like a walking corpse.
Walking in the trench, she constantly passed by corpses on the ground.
She had never seen such a hellish scene before.
