Chapter 568: The White House has not fallen! A monument to the aesthetics of war!
There is no doubt that Golden Wind has reached the pinnacle of excellence in terms of script design.
Price's "crazy" move not only excited the players, but also brought a rare turning point to the war in Washington.
Countless Warsaw fighter planes were paralyzed by the electromagnetic pulse caused by the nuclear explosion.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Warsaw Army, which had been relying on its air superiority and was about to announce the occupation of the US capital, fell into chaos.
The Ranger Corps where Ramirez was also quickly seized this rare opportunity.
【White House】
[Day 5 19:27:28]
Private Ramirez
[1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment]
【USA-Washington】
"Quick! Quick! Quick! Move! Go to the White House!"
Accompanied by the noisy sounds of footsteps and the shouts !
Octane opened his eyes.
What comes into view is the collapsed and cracked underground passage.
The trickling water flooded over the feet, and there were rubble everywhere. Burning signal sticks were scattered in the corners of the underground passage, emitting a dazzling red light.
In fact, according to the current situation, theoretically Washington has already fallen. Just ten minutes ago, the headquarters had already given them the order to retreat .
But who would have thought that while they were retreating by helicopter, they were shot down by an old-fashioned RPG fired by the Warsaw troops.
At this moment, the nuclear explosion support from Task Force 141 also arrived.
Thus, the remnants of the defeated army that had failed to evacuate became the last hope to retake Washington.
Crash——crash——
There were hurried footsteps as Octane followed his teammates and advanced along the ruined underground passage.
As they got closer to the exit of the underground passage, the exchange of fire and the voices of command on the ground became clearer and clearer.
"Suppress! Continue to suppress with M240B..."
"The left wing needs support! The left wing needs..."
"We don't have any more time! Push forward! Push forward!"
"We have to retake the high ground in front of us! The White House still has electricity!"
"As long as we take back the White House, we can get in touch with the headquarters..."
“…”
The sound of gunfire one after another foreshadowed the fierce fighting on the ground.
What is even more exciting than the intense gunfire is the following scene.
Don't forget that even before the E3 show, there was already a lot of hype about Modern Warfare II.
At that time, Golden Wind and Yunwei Games each occupied half of the game promotion market.
In the trailer of "Modern Warfare II", the most impressive scene is probably the counterattack on the White House.
The White House fell and the war continued.
The fall of Washington caused quite a stir in the gaming community at the time.
And now!
As the smell of gunpowder got closer, the sound of artillery fire in my ears became more shocking!
Octane drilled out of the underground passage along the large pit of broken walls, and the moment he returned to the ground, a picture of hell suddenly appeared -
It is clearly the most important landmark building in the United States and the most famous capital building in the world - the White House!
Under the blood-red skyline, smoke is flying and the war is raging!
Countless soldiers shuttled through the hail of bullets!
The shells whistled, drawing sharp lines across the blood-red sky!
The firepower network interwoven with tracer bullets covered the bloody sky. The metal storm baptized the battlefield raging with flames again and again, bringing the cold smell of bloody gunpowder!
And not far away!
Amid the war and bombing, one of the most famous capital buildings in the world - the White House - is now at the center of the vortex of this war storm!
Broken, dirty, dilapidated, withered.
The White House, which had been devastated by the war, had completely lost its former grandeur, and the horrific quagmire of war had eaten away at it layer by layer.
The exposed steel bars looked like broken bones, and the bullet-riddled white walls were stained with blood, making people feel dazed for a moment, as if they saw the white house bleeding.
The shock that could not be described enveloped Xin'an's live broadcast room at this moment, and also stirred the hearts of every player——
'O——M——G——'
"This storyboard is really shocking, the dilapidated white house under the bloody sky"
'Absolutely'
"It feels even more shocking than the images in the trailer..."
'It's really frustrating'
"As an American, this familiar yet strange feeling is really hard to describe. It's simply... incredible."
"It felt as if the illusion of invincibility was shattered in an instant. This scene, which was in stark contrast to the peaceful reality, was truly impressive."
"I seem to understand why in many wars, people planted flags on the enemy's capital at all costs."
"This is another scene that will be considered a classic in the future. There are too many classic scenes in this generation of modern warfare."
"It is indeed the world's first FPS game as planned by SNG, a new milestone in the next generation"
"Indeed, this game is absolutely amazing..."
"……"
A sigh!
The just-right grand background music also sets off the atmosphere of the battlefield perfectly.
The war continued and the scorched earth was everywhere.
Amidst the fierce hail of bullets, Octane followed Sergeant Foley all the way to the enemy's left wing where the defense was weaker!
The team of more than a dozen people was only a hundred meters away from the gate of the White House!
When they finally cleared out the last few enemy soldiers in front of the White House, there were only five people left in the team!
At this moment, I look back at the battlefield in front of the White House.
The battle-scarred land was littered with corpses and flames shooting into the sky.
However!
There was no time for Octane to sigh!
Just as they entered the White House and were about to launch an advance and clearing of the interior of the building!
Suddenly, from the west side of the hall, a vague broadcasting voice suddenly sounded -
[This is... a broadcast from the unit... the bombing is in effect... if you are...]
"What's that sound?"
The sudden broadcast also caught Sergeant Foley's attention.
He followed the sound and came to a hanging painting on the west side of the hall.
As the huge picture frame was taken down by Sergeant Foley, a loudspeaker appeared on the wall, issuing a clear and cold announcement:
[Please note, this is a broadcast from the wartime headquarters to all friendly units in Washington]
[The indiscriminate bombing order has taken effect. I repeat, the indiscriminate bombing order has taken effect.]
[If you are receiving this frequency band, it proves that you are in a strategic bombing zone]
[Attention, indiscriminate bombing will begin in two minutes]
[Repeat again, indiscriminate bombing will begin in two minutes]
[Please note, this is the wartime headquarters...]
A moment!
The entire hall fell into dead silence!
The few remaining members of the Ranger Team looked at each other.
Relying on sophisticated picture expression technology, Octane can even clearly see the changes in Sergeant Foley's expression!
From confusion to shock, and from shock to horror!
"Oh shit……"
"Move! Move! Move!"
“Quick! Quick! Quick—!!!”
Wow——!!!
The scene exploded!
Indiscriminate bombing!
Yes, although the Rangers had already entered the White House, effectively launching a counterattack against the enemy and attempting to retake Washington.
But don’t forget, in the eyes of the headquarters, Washington has now fallen and is irretrievably lost!
Although the nuclear bomb that exploded outside the atmosphere caused Warsaw to lose air superiority in an instant, it also paralyzed all of its own troops' communication equipment.
The current Ranger team cannot contact the headquarters at all, let alone report the reversal of the battle situation.
So it happened by mistake!
The Ranger squad that survived the enemy's death is now being covered by their own indiscriminate strategic bombing!
"Go to the roof—!"
Sergeant Foley's roar echoed throughout the hall!
"There are flares on the rooftops of strategic locations. As long as we light them, we can show that we are still capable of fighting and put an end to the indiscriminate strategic bombing!"
And as Sergeant Foley's voice fell!
A set of countdowns flashing dangerous red light suddenly appeared in Octane's head-up display UI!
[Countdown for indiscriminate bombing: 1min58s…57s…56s…55s…]
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck——!!!”
Watching the countdown slip away every second!
Octane's heart rate also soared instantly!
"Damn it! Why do I always have to do these extreme jobs--!!!"
Xin'an's complaints immediately caused the viewers in the live broadcast room to burst into laughter.
'Extreme Anchor'
'This complaint is so accurate hahahahahaha...'
'Sergeant Foley: Look! A Pilot! The odds are in our favor!'
'The peak old king applies to go to war!'
'Hahahahahahahaha, retired Iron Pilot Washington returns to his old job...'
'It feels like Ethan complaining about why everyone is dead'
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Uh uh! Why is it always me who carries out extreme missions (shock)! "
"This is just perfect, hahahahahahahahaha..."
'One minute and fifty seconds! Go, go, go!'
"Digging grass is too extreme... It's really a life-or-death race..."
"……"
The live broadcast room is very lively!
Although Octane complained about the sudden and outrageous plot change, he did not stop!
Perhaps Octane in the real world, having lost his legs, will never be able to charge forward like a peak soldier.
But the second healthy body given to him by the somatosensory cabin gave him the wings to fully fly.
Dada! Dadada——!
salad--!
With Octane's leading tactical sliding shot, the two enemy soldiers stationed at the stairs had no time to react and were killed on the spot!
Hearing the gunshots, the enemy troops upstairs swarmed in and launched a frantic attack on the Ranger Squad that intended to send a signal!
Intensive gunfire broke out in the small room!
The sound of rapid footsteps could be heard throughout the intricate architecture of the White House!
Ten seconds... twenty seconds... fifty seconds...
One floor... two floors... three floors...
Countless enemy troops fell to the Ranger squad's assault gun fire.
In order to cover Octane's climb to the summit and release the flare, the team of five people was reduced to only three people.
"Go! Go! Go!"
As the last three people climbed onto the white rooftop!
Sergeant Foley also immediately turned his gun around and guarded the stairs to cover Octane and the other two!
Look up!
There was a huge bombing gap at the end of the top-floor corridor!
The indiscriminate strategic bombing has also entered the final countdown!
rumble--
Even amid the sporadic gunfire, Octane could already hear the roar of approaching F-15 fighter-bombers!
[Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...]
The final ten seconds countdown!
Octane grabbed the flare and ran towards the gap leading to the roof with all his strength!
The comrades beside him could no longer hold back, and they tore open the dazzling green flares and shouted:
【The White House has not fallen! 】
【The White House has not fallen ! 】
The blazing green flare was as dazzling as the torch of the goddess of victory, dragging a brilliant trail of smoke and dust straight to the roof!
【Three! Two! One! 】
laugh--!!!
When the countdown finally reaches zero!
The flare in Octane's hand also lit up!
They held high the dazzling flares and waved them desperately towards the roaring F-15 cluster!
[The White House has not fallen——!!!]
[Stop the bombing! Stop the bombing——!!!]
And the next moment!
Amidst the magnificent symphony, the radio communication voice sounded:
[F-15: Abort signal detected from the White House, bombing cancelled, mission terminated! ]
Rumble——Sizzle——!!!
The rising sun dispelled the clouds of war.
At the end of the scorched earth ravaged by war, there is an obelisk that stands tall.
Three powerful bombers roared over the White House.
The ultimate war aesthetics is frozen at this moment, creating an eternal classic monument in the history of games——
