Superstars of Tomorrow

"Do you know? Bai Jixing is at war!"

"Is it the planet where the new energy ore was discovered that was very popular some time ago?"

"Yes, yes! I heard it was a terrorist attack!"

"It's not uncommon to fight if you fight."

For many people, it is too far away to affect their lives, and it is not the first time it has happened, and they will not pay too much attention to it. People who rarely pay attention to current affairs, military affairs and other news get this kind of news from their friends. , still should eat and drink, at most find a topic to brag about when friends gather, and then follow the trend to donate pocket money on the annual anniversary, that's all.

However, this time is different.

"Fang Zhao, do you know? It's the one who ranked first in the single list of "Battle of the Century" before. He served in Baijixing and happened to be at the sentry point where he was attacked. I heard that the signal was cut off during the live broadcast." It opened, maybe it was attacked, and now I don’t know if it’s dead or alive.”

"What!?"

In the eyes of many professional or non-professional players, it is a pity that Fang Zhao left the game. Players often mentioned in the forum that the rankings of the current rankings are different every day, and the competition is fierce. On the single-player list, the original top two Mingdu left temporarily, Fang Zhao was due to his military service, and Maher focused on professional shooting competitions. Without the two strongest competitors, the others naturally tried their best to compete for the top ranking.

Whenever this time, someone will mention Fang Zhao. Think about the first half year of the game, after Fang Zhao occupied the first place, he has never been surpassed.

When Fang Zhao announced the news that he was leaving the game to serve in the military, some people were happy and some were regretful. Now, when they learned that the place where Fang Zhao was serving was attacked by terrorists, some people expected Fang Zhao to be killed directly, so that there would be no threat in the future. Of course, some people sincerely hope that Fang Zhao can survive safely. There are also some people who hold the attitude of watching the fun.

No matter what they thought in their hearts, they lost the mood to continue playing.

Flamingo Company found that there are very few people online today. To be precise, at this point in time, the number of people online is getting smaller and smaller. The players went offline one after another, and they all went to watch the video.

The Starlight Project column group of the "First Front" newspaper, the editorial department is busy at this time, and the call line is occupied. They can only receive the video files and some text and audio files slowly transmitted from Lin Kaiwen.

After seeing the first video sent by Lin Kaiwen, they knew that another opportunity for the newspaper had come.

Yes, for business groups, everything is still headed by interests. As for Bai Jixing's current situation and whether people are well, although they are concerned, what they value more is the benefits this matter will bring to them.

"The second video has been edited, and the third video has received 98%..."

"Boss! Another network TV station from Muzhou approached us to buy broadcasting rights..."

"The third video has been accepted and edited..."

Some of the videos sent by Lin Kaiwen are redundant in the eyes of the editorial department, so some will be cut out, edited a little, and released on S5.

"Lin Kaiwen wants to be popular." A newspaper reporter sighed as he watched the number of people online who were still rising.

"It's already on fire." Another reporter pointed to the page on the screen with a look of disbelief.

The page shows the homepage of Lin Kaiwen's social platform, and the last status was posted by Lin Kaiwen when he went to Baijixing——

"Leaving soon!"

The accompanying picture is a photo, in which besides Lin Kaiwen, there is Fang Zhao, and there are other people who went to Baijixing in the same batch.

In the comment area of ​​the last status, there have been more than one million messages. They were all found by netizens following the video on S5.

Lin Kaiwen also interviewed some celebrities and dignitaries in the past, but no matter how popular he was, no matter how publicized he was, he just couldn't catch up. Now, because of this matter, he has been blessed by a blessing in disguise, and the number of followers has reached a level that makes many colleagues envious, even if it is temporarily, he is also envied by his colleagues.

Even if the military had the latest news, they did not disclose all of it. They only said that the situation in Baijixing was under control and the base was safe, and there would be nothing more. Therefore, if ordinary people want to know more about Bai Jixing, they can only watch the videos of S5 and those local network TV stations that simultaneously rebroadcast S5.

The first video of Channel S5 was to tell people what happened there. In the video, there were researchers like Fang Zhao and Fan Lin. The second video released was when the monster appeared.

For those who are playing the game "Battle of the Century", this kind of monster is no stranger, even if it is not a species that they are familiar with, but this hideous appearance and style will give them a sense of familiarity.

The sound of slamming the door not only made the people in the basement nervous, but even the people watching were also worried. This is not a movie, this is a real video of what happened on Baijixing. They don't know what they will see in the next moment, and the nerves in their brains are also trembling.

Fortunately, the door was strong enough, and the monster seemed to be attracted by other things, and when it left, the online audience breathed a sigh of relief.

The third video was edited. It was not edited by the newspaper, but Lin Kaiwen edited a section before sending it, and cut out the section where Fang Zhao took out his gun. good. Lin Kaiwen also knew that Fang Zhao would not have taken it out if it wasn't for special circumstances. As a comrade-in-arms, Lin Kaiwen is not a person who doesn't know what to do, even if Fang Zhao didn't say it, he wouldn't release that part.

So, at the beginning of the third video, it was Lin Kaiwen's face covered with blood and dust, sitting against the corner, sighing, and then rubbed his face vigorously before approaching the camera lens, his eyes were red, with a deep Worry and restlessness.

"Fang Zhaohe..." I don't know whether it was a lack of water or talking too much, coupled with the pressure, Lin Kaiwen's voice was a little hoarse, and he stopped after he started.

When the online audience heard it, their hearts just hung higher and higher.

That's right, where is Fang Zhao?

In the screen, the audience can see the experimenters behind Lin Kaiwen, but there is no Fang Zhao. I thought it was because the camera didn't capture it, but now that Lin Kaiwen said it, did something happen?

Many online viewers stopped what they were doing and waited for Lin Kaiwen's next words.

In the video, Lin Kaiwen cleared his throat before continuing, "Fang Zhao went out, and he said he wanted to go out and have a look."

The online audience was taken aback when they heard this, and complained that Lin Kaiwen was not kind. Why are you gasping for breath before you finish a sentence? I thought Fang Zhao died heroically during the moment of pause!

Huh?

There seems to be something wrong.

go out?

Fang summoned this shelter in the basement?

What are you doing out there? Fight monsters? Does he think this is a game! ?

Grandpa Fang, who also saw this video, couldn't sit still in shock, "Nonsense! He is a child who has never participated in actual combat in the military. What can he do when he goes out? Give away his head!?"

The old man and the old lady were angry and anxious, and they couldn't find any exact news about Fang Zhao after asking those old comrades in arms. They could only know the situation of some bases, but now they only care about the situation at the No. 23 post, and want to know Fang Zhao's situation. For the news of the call, you can only watch the video of S5, and you can only wait.

They wanted to directly ask the "First Front" newspaper about the content of all the videos they received, but they couldn't get through. After all, the "First Front" newspaper is not from Yanzhou. When I went to Huangzhou, I really couldn't find anyone to inquire about it for a while, and the customer service contact information disclosed by the newspaper, after dialing, it showed that there was a queue to wait. Mrs. Fang wanted to make an appointment, but when I saw it, the queue was tens of thousands. When will we go.

Fortunately, they didn't make them wait for a long time. In the next video, Fang Zhao appeared. Not only did he return safely to the basement from the outside, but he also brought a wounded man back.

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but Fang Zhao went out again before the breath was over.

Old Master Fang almost couldn't catch his breath, "What the hell are you going out for!"

In the video, during the time when Fang Zhao disappeared, Lin Kaiwen and other people in the basement who were only slightly injured gave the rescued wounded a brief treatment of the wound. The injury was too serious, and there was only so much they could do.

However, the sentinel soldier named Walker didn't stay silent all the time, and he didn't know whether he could survive this time, so he asked Lin Kaiwen to record a video for him, and also talked about Fang Zhao's rescue of him.

"So, Zhaoshen also killed two monsters?" The eyes of a game player watching the video flashed.

"Fang Zhao is so powerful in the game, so it shouldn't be too bad in reality, right?"

"Have you forgotten those things reported before? After all, the virtual world is different from the real world." Some people have different opinions.

Some people are only stubborn on the Internet, but they are a mess in reality. Prior to this, there were often some entertainment news reports that did not make gamers happy. For example, an entertainment magazine once revealed that a certain fighting game master was beaten into the hospital by a black street gangster, or a shooting game player was killed instead of pretending to be in reality.

No matter what everyone talked about, they really wanted to know about Fang Zhao's situation. After Fang Zhao went out again, did he encounter any monsters or terrorists? Are you hurt? Are you still alive?

When Lin Kaiwen finally had a smooth phone call with Yan Biao and learned that Fang Zhao was safe and that the reinforcements from the base had arrived, the online audience couldn't help cheering.

At this time, the video being played on S5 suddenly stopped, and just as some people started to complain again, they saw the words on the screen - "The live signal is being connected."

The previous videos were all delayed, and what they saw was not what was happening. Now, why watch delayed videos when there is a live broadcast?

The audience stopped complaining and stared at the screen quickly.

After the words "connected successfully" flashed on the screen, Lin Kaiwen's blood-stained face appeared on the screen. It was different from the heaviness and anxiety at the beginning. At this time, Lin Kaiwen was very excited and ecstatic.

"Finally someone came to pick us up!"

As soon as the camera turned, facing the door of the basement, a group of soldiers came in from the outside and carried away several seriously injured people in the basement, and Lin Kaiwen went out with them.

Along the way, Lin Kaiwen took pictures of the post-war scenes inside the base, as well as the corpses of those monsters. Some of the pictures were too bloody. Lin Kaiwen also specifically mentioned: "Our station is 15+, children under 15 years old should not watch it, parents please Watch out for minors under the age of 15 peeking around."

"I'm going to find Fang Zhao now, and I don't know if he's injured." Lin Kaiwen said, and followed the team of soldiers out.

After walking out of the outpost, he finally saw the light. When he saw the aircraft and the soldiers at the base, Lin Kaiwen took a deep breath, looked around, saw a familiar face, and hurried over to ask.

"Excuse me, have you seen Fang Zhao? Where is he?"

"Fang Zhao? Over there, it seems that he was taken to change clothes." The man replied.

"Change clothes? What clothes?"

Lin Kaiwen was about to ask in detail, when he saw Fang Zhao who got off the transport plane ahead.

Different from before, now Fang Zhao has changed into a combat uniform similar to that of the guards, and he still holds a gun in his hand, which Lin Kaiwen saw Yan Biao take.

"Fang Zhao, what are you going to do like this?" Lin Kaiwen asked.

"Go to the woods to clean up, some monsters ran into the woods."

Fang Zhao was talking to Lin Kaiwen, when he heard Bie Liao urging loudly, "Hey, Fang Zhao, let's go!"

Hearing the words, Fang Zhao didn't say much, and gestured to Lin Kaiwen to leave first, and ran towards Bie Liao and the others.

Having just experienced a fierce battle, the soldiers at the outpost still had a faint murderous look on them, and they seemed to have a cold light when they looked at people. Although there were only a dozen or so people, they gave people a sense of overwhelming power.

Lin Kaiwen couldn't help but stop walking in that direction. This is the real outpost garrison.

Fang Zhao, who came together with Bie Liao and the others, did not appear abrupt among the group of people, on the contrary, it made people feel very harmonious, as if this person was one of them.

The camera kept pointing there, and the online viewers could see Fang Zhao in combat uniform, boarding the aircraft with the soldiers from the outposts, flying towards the depths of the jungle, and only took pictures elsewhere when they disappeared.

In the live broadcast, not long after this scene appeared, Fang Zhao, who hadn't seen him for a long time, appeared on the latest news of the world-renowned online game community "Shanglong".

The title is "Virtual VS Reality", and the picture is a splicing of two pictures. On the left is Fang Zhao's image of "living another five hundred years" in the game "Battle of the Century", and on the right is the live broadcast of Chinese Fang Zhao on S5 Personal screenshots when the sentinel stood together. In the two pictures, Fang Zhao was wearing a combat uniform and holding a gun. In different times and backgrounds, combat uniforms and gun types are also different, but the person is the same.

One is the background of the extinct century more than 500 years ago, and the other is the new century more than 500 years later. One exists in the virtual world and the other exists in real life.

As if the comparison across time and space makes people feel novel, and at the same time, it also makes many game players have a strange feeling of worship.

This novel comparison chart was quoted by many media in the game circle shortly after it was released.

Some professional gaming clubs were quite depressed. Didn't Fang Zhao leave the game temporarily? Why did he become popular in the game circle again?
