Most of the soldiers who have experienced the brutal and relentless bloody battles will become more and more cold-blooded.

When countless deaths are presented in front of you, the despair that strikes from both sides at the same time ruthlessly destroys the remaining warmth in your heart. Whether it is the enemy who is crying and struggling in the flames, or the companions who push away their comrades before they die, they are shaking the spirit of the soldiers all the time and frantically torturing their hearts.

Then, most of the people who survive will become more and more numb and turn into ruthless "devils". Even after the war, when they returned to their hometowns, these soldiers could no longer integrate into society and had to spend the rest of their lives alone.

However, even if you are a veteran of a hundred battles, there will be outliers.

"Are you better?" Lin Chi looked at Woods, who was wearing a black mask beside him.

Judging from the way this soldier kills people and the accuracy of his shooting, Woods is definitely battle-hardened, but even so, he is still one of the few "outliers".

"No matter how many times you experience this, you won't get used to it." Woods shook his head, the MP5K in his hand swaying slightly with his body.

"Everybody's sad, don't forget you're the captain......" Mason reminded, his hands holding the gun seemed to tremble slightly.

The image of his teammates buried in the fire still lingered in front of their eyes, and Woods reached out and touched the metal mask on his face, and whispered, "Bowman...... That kid is a good Demoman. ”

"I'm enough for the Demoman!" Crazy Ivan said proudly.

"Shut up." Lin Chi said coldly.

At this time, they were searching the rubble for possible hiding places for the kidnappers, an area that seemed to be a small residential area before it was blown up, and the ruins of burning buildings were small apartments.

As the kidnapper spoke, there was a distinct echo in the background, which would not have been seen if it had been in a small basement, and the buildings on the surface had collapsed, and there were no obstacles that could cause an echo.

Therefore, Lin Chi also quickly deduced that the kidnappers should be hiding in the basement of a shopping mall or other large building. Now, what they're looking for is a large building nearby.

"There's a shopping mall two hundred meters ahead."

Lin Chi opened the map and looked at it, and after making sure that the information was accurate, he lowered his body and sneaked in the direction of the shopping mall.

- If it is in the large underground space of the shopping mall, it may have the effect just now, and the mercenary who kidnapped the diplomat may be hiding under the ruins!

The three SOG soldiers exchanged glances and sneakily touched over with their guns, while Crazy Evan and Darien walked last. This team, which had just been formed improvised, had already experienced several battles, and with the tacit understanding cultivated in a short period of time, they walked to the location of the shopping center without saying a word.

Located in the western part of Kayaland, Thunder Shopping Plaza was originally one of the largest shopping malls in the city, but it has also been reduced to rubble after the bombing.

The ruins of the wall stand in place, and the red cloth with the words "20th Anniversary of Thunder Shopping Plaza" still fluttering in the wind shows the last glory of this place. The crowd walked through the corpse-strewn streets, and soon arrived in front of the Thunder Mall, sneaking into the mall where only skeletons remained, vigilantly observing the situation nearby.

Perhaps because of the large number of civilians, the extent of the damage to the shopping mall was even more terrifying than the residential area outside, and it was almost completely flattened by a powerful giant bomb, leaving only a small amount of solid reinforced concrete, which still maintained its original posture.

Although he couldn't see clearly, Lin Chi could tell that under the rubble of the shopping mall, there were a large number of corpses, most of which were civilians. The remainder is-

"Isn't that the mercenary on that street?"

Mason lowered his head, staring at one of the arms sticking out from under the steel plates, and the camouflage uniforms on the other arm. They have seen a lot of corpses in similar clothes on the streets of the suburbs.

"It's the 'Silver Shield Security Company.'" Lin Chi said the names of the organizations to which these mercenaries belonged, and then asked the soldiers of SOG, "Have you heard of it?" ”

"It sounds like a mercenary organization, but I haven't heard of it." Woods shook his head, and Mason and Weaver, who were next to him, shook their heads at the same time, indicating that they didn't know either.

"Silver Shield...... Aren't they the ones in charge of security in Alvara? Dalyan, who once ventured with Lin Chi in the "Killer Capital", naturally had an impression of this name: "Aren't they security guards hired by the government?" How can there be a war here? ”

"I don't know, maybe it's government forces?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes and stared at the rotting arm exposed by the corpse.

That being said, the possibility of "Silver Shield" playing the role of government army here is very low, after all, on the corpses of some other soldiers, Lin Chi saw the logo and nameplate of the government army in Alvara City. Judging from the location of the corpses and the state of death, those government troops and the soldiers of Silver Shield should be in a hostile state.

- So, after "guarding" Alvara City for so many years, this security company finally showed its murderous fangs and began to attack other cities?

While thinking about it, Lin Chi observed the situation nearby, many shops that were originally distributed on various floors of the shopping mall were "compressed" to the first floor at this time, mixed with all kinds of destroyed goods and store wreckage, as well as the horrific corpses of the shopkeepers and customers.

"It's miserable, this place is horrible...... Darien sighed.

In fact, this hacker girl had already learned from Lin Chi that the world of "War Paradise" was virtual, but even if she knew that it was fictional, this kind of excessively bloody picture still made her feel a strong sense of discomfort.

"War is human nature." Lin Chi raised his eyebrows, and his gaze staring at the corpse seemed to reveal a little pity: "As long as the human race has not perished, the war will continue forever." ”

"That's right, that's why we're here." Mason nodded.

Before he could finish speaking, the roar of a jet engine in the distant sky caused everyone to fall to the ground in the ruins.

Not long after the game began, the player and their special forces obviously couldn't get the plane, that is to say - is it the warring mercenaries again?

"Don't do any 'cutscenes' at this time......" Lin Chi complained secretly.

If the player was attacking themselves, Lin Chi would naturally find a way to resist, but with their current equipment, it would be impossible to shoot down the plane.

As passive as it sounds, now you can only lurk in the ruins and wait for the enemy's air force to pass by......

"Listening to this sound, it seems to be an A-10 attack aircraft of the US military." Mason said.

"How did the mercenaries get their hands on the American plane?" Woods' tone was full of surprise: "Has our military started selling these things to mercenaries?" ”

"This is the root of capitalism." Crazy Ivan is convincing.

Looking at the smug appearance of this bomb expert, Lin Chi really didn't want to discuss with him the delicate topic of "where did some nuclear warheads go after the collapse of the Soviet Union". After all, the world in "War Paradise" does not seem to follow the history of the real world, but there are some forks.

- Those maps that are too weird in the "plot development" are all classified as special maps. But even a normal map is not quite the same as real-world history.

In this worldview, it seems that the Soviet Union has not yet collapsed, and is still competing with the United States, which is why the whole world is still shrouded in the shadow of the Cold War. It is precisely because a large number of troops are still in the confrontation that a large security company like "Silver Shield" has been given the opportunity to be responsible for the security of the entire city.

"The bad nature of bullshit capitalism, it's human instinct." Woods refuted the "fallacies" of Crazy Ivan: "Human beings have been killing each other since primitive society, and then look at what happened to you in the Soviet Union? If the Soviet Union was fine, how could Weaver flee to the United States? ”

"That's just a necessary sacrifice." Crazy Ivan retorted.

"If you talk again, I'll kill you......" Waffel raised the AUG in his hand, and the killing of his own father was recognized as a "necessary sacrifice", and the Soviet "traitor" was obviously in a bad mood.

"Stop arguing, didn't you just reconcile?" Lin Chi said a little depressed.

- Explosives experts from the Soviet Union and special forces from the U.S. military, the sparks that burst out between this kind of rivalry are much greater than Lin Chi thought before. He thought that in the bloody battle of life and death together, these guys could become friends. Now it seems that it will take a longer run-in period......

Rumble!

A series of loud explosions sounded several kilometers away, and the A-10 attack aircraft seemed to be on the offensive. Hearing this, everyone immediately stopped arguing and nervously waited for the plane to pass through this area.

Although it is an "old guy" who served in the 70s of the 20 th century, and there have been tragic incidents of accidentally injuring one's own ground forces, the status of the A-10 attack aircraft has always been difficult for other fighters and bombers to replace.

The A-10 has only one purpose, and that is to carry a large number of ground bombs and rockets to strike ground targets. The special design of this aircraft makes it more versatile than bombers and helicopter gunships, and its own safety is extremely high when striking ground targets, and it is rarely shot down by the enemy.

Because of this, even when the U.S. military has been massively equipped with advanced F-35 fighter jets, the A-10 is still in service, and this kind of apocalyptic horror for ground targets is still a nightmare for many infantry today!

The engine noise of the attack plane came from far and near, and Lin Chi, who was still hiding in the ruins of the Thunder Mall, also began to raise his heart.

To be honest, it seems a little too reluctant to dodge the fire of attack aircraft in such a place. But now they haven't found the entrance to the basement, and they have nowhere to go at all, so they can only "make do" here......

"Don't throw bombs......" Mason prayed in a low voice.

A large fireball that erupted not far away confirmed that God did not seem to hear his shout, and a bomb of unknown type fell 300 meters away from the ruins of the shopping center, blowing up the streets with smoke and dust, and the inside of the shopping center began to tremble violently.

Click......

Hearing the dangerous sound of the remaining reinforced concrete, Lin Chi looked up at the skeleton of the building, and suddenly shouted loudly:

"Get out of here, it's going to collapse!"

As soon as the words fell, several steel bars above their heads had already fallen, and a large amount of concrete debris had been smashed down at the same time.

The wreckage of the building, which had been standing until now, was finally overwhelmed and was about to collapse!

Rumble!

With a loud bang, the smoke and dust filled the air, Lin Chi jumped, and the reinforced concrete falling behind him smashed the corpses on the ground into flesh and mud.

The impact force smashed into his back like a transparent heavy fist, pushing Lin Chi's body five meters away, and he fell heavily into the rubble, his right arm suddenly hurt, and a sharp gravel cut on his forearm, immediately spurting out a large amount of blood.

"Your sister ......," Lin Chi scolded in a low voice.

"Commander, are you alright?" Mason's voice came from the other side of the ruins, and it looked like the others were sealed on the other side by the falling concrete wreckage, and there was no way to come over for the time being.

"I'm fine." Lin Chi shouted, "How are the others? ”

"The two were slightly injured and there was no major problem." The content of Mason's report made Lin Chi finally feel at ease.

Thinking of the situation he encountered when he was on Mars, Lin Chi reminded: "Be careful, the floor may also collapse." ”

"Please be careful over there, we'll find a way to get there." Mason said.

"I know ......"

Before Lin Chi finished speaking, he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, rushing all the way from outside the shopping mall.

- The enemy rushed in? In other words, the A-10 was bombing, was it a team of players found on the street?

Thinking of this, a huge danger signal suddenly appeared in his mind. Before he could see the enemy, Lin Chi had already hid in the corner of the ruins of the shopping mall, blocked himself with a stone, and lay in the ruins disguised as a corpse.

He didn't know if the enemy was equipped with thermal mirrors or something, but he couldn't care about that much now. Seeing that the wound was still bleeding, Lin Chi tore off a strip of cloth again, tied it to his wound forcefully, and carried out a rough "forcibly stop the bleeding" in a short period of time by tightening the muscles and blood vessels. ”

After a series of previous battles, his body was already covered with dust and blood stains, and just looking at the appearance was indeed no different from the nearby corpses, which was equivalent to the effect of natural camouflage.

Not long after Lin Chi lay down, he heard those footsteps rushing into the shopping mall, and then a calm male voice sounded:

"Commander, we just lost three people."

"Damn mercenaries, where did you get the plane?" A rough male voice complained.

From the conversations of these people, Lin Chi could already judge that what he was facing was indeed a player.

The special forces were supposed to be hiding from the A-10 and entered the ruins of the shopping center. But the problem now is that the "commanders" and troops on their side have been separated from the ruins.

- Do you want to go head-to-head?

Lin Chi, who was lying in the corner and disguised as a corpse, began to think quickly, looking for an opportunity to do it.
