Section 18 CG

Xiong Er is an online anchor. was originally famous for recording stand-alone games, but later under the tide of online live broadcasts, he chose to become a fashionable online anchor, calling himself "Little Bear", and the people in the rivers and lakes called "Brother Xiong".

However, as a streamer who started with stand-alone games, Xiong Er didn't throw away the recording video, and when he had nothing to do, he would visit the steam platform, and if he found any fun, interesting or strange games, he would use it as recording material.

On this day, he was rummaging through the recently released indie game and preparing a short and concise video on his way. Flipping through it, he suddenly found a recently launched "Kill-Bug" in English.

This name suddenly made Xiong Er have a lot of associations, such as some kind of strange fault-finding game, or a strange funny game...... That's right, a game with such a name must be a strange thing in itself!

Kill bed bugs?

Kill the vulnerability?

Kill the cockroaches?

……

All kinds of associations made Xiong Er couldn't help but be curious, and clicked on the name.

However, when he clicked on this, he was shocked to find that this game actually has a Chinese version! And the name looks much more serious than the English version - "Insecticide War".

Before he could finish reading the introduction, he was fascinated by the auto-playing video of the game's introduction......

In the silence of darkness, three men in tight protective suits appear in the camera. They were slowly walking into a long passage...... The camera deliberately swept over the cave wall, freezing on the dense claw marks for a few seconds.

Apparently, the cave was not formed naturally, but was excavated by some kind of "thing" with sharp claws.

……

"Huh? This promotional video is a bit of a 3A masterpiece...... There's no real sense of realism...... Is this the Frost 3 bought? No...... Probably not, Frost 3 isn't so expressive......"

Just when Xiong Er was shocked that this indie game was able to make CG that was better than that of a 3A manufacturer, everything on the screen continued.

……

In the narrow passage, only the sound of footsteps echoed. The three of them held a light source that was the only source of light here, and only the places where the lights passed could be seen, and the vast field of vision beyond the lights was shrouded in the thick darkness.

Until now, the only sounds in the cave were footsteps, the grinding of clothes, and the breathing of the three adventurers.

And the occasional dripping sound from afar makes the whole environment extra quiet and mysterious.

As the three rays of light slowly moved forward, the cave gradually opened up...... The walls of the cave on both sides even disappeared into darkness! At this time, both front and back, left and right, were swallowed up by a thick darkness.

Suddenly, as if one of the adventurers had discovered something, the light source in his hand suddenly pointed to the side of the cave wall.

"Look! Mural! “

……

Chinese dubbing?!?

Xiong Er was surprised and delighted when he saw this!

However, he doesn't press the pause button, so the on-screen drama continues.

……

"It's ...... The planet's prehistoric civilizations? ”

An old voice rang out...... As he walked into the camera, Kumaji was even able to see the face behind the transparent mask.

……

"This effect! It's just ...... Wait, this can't be a real person, right? Damn it, I know! Where did this indie game come from...... CG of the super 3A masterpiece "Xiong Er Conan possessed,Instantly realized the "truth"。

The so-called real person actually refers to the real person shooting, and the later use of technical means to render the video into CG style...... This was a good way to save money and have a good effect when CG production costs were high more than a decade ago.

Today, even the tall pre-rendered CG is on the verge of elimination, and now, when real-time calculated cutscenes are popular, the game screen that claims to be comparable to a blockbuster movie has reached the point where it is almost realistic.

However, just as Xiong Er, who thought he had obtained the "truth", was about to leave this page, a low, rich, and rhythmic accompaniment suddenly sounded from the stereo......

The screen also flashed a mural with a strange style at the right time.

At the same time, the old voice sounded: "This is ...... The epic ...... of the long-handed clan"

"They used to live in a peaceful home......

With the narration of the old voice, the impassioned music suddenly turned and became beautiful and lingering...... The motifs on the murals suddenly transform into huge cities with strange styles, and vast fields are full of crops...... Such a natural and peaceful scene faded away, reverted to the lines of the mural, and the poignant violin sounded.

With the accompaniment of the violin, the old man's voice continued:

"Their homeland, however, has been invaded."

As the old man narrates, the camera begins to move to the next mural: a few strokes sketch a ruined wall......

The screen flashed, and the mural turned into a real scene again! Countless cries were heard from afar...... The once-bustling city was scorched, and neat fields were burned...... Horrific corpses can be seen everywhere......

The old voice continued:

"However, they began to resist."

The picture suddenly turned, and countless long-handed people with sharp skins rushed into the distance desperately...... And they were greeted by an endless swarm of insects! Insects as big as pigs and dogs rushed up densely towards the long-handed man......

The old voice gradually grew faster: "They resisted, fought, and then won. ”

The picture flashed again, countless insects were piled up into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the scarred long-handed warriors stood at the top of the corpse pile.

At this point, the soundtrack reaches its climax, and then it suddenly closes, and only the aftermath of gold and iron is left in the air......

The old man's voice returned to its normal pace: "Just when they thought all suffering was over...... The ultimate darkness has come. ”

The camera freezes on the last mural and gradually zooms in, on which are countless flying dragons densely covering the entire sky, but there is no stickman on the mural that represents the long-handed man.

"Are they exterminated like this?" The young girl asked.

"I don't know...... That's why we're here. The old man comforted the young man behind him, "Since we want to gain a foothold on this planet, we naturally have to learn from the experience of our predecessors...... I'll take care of the lighting, and you two will take pictures of the murals here......"

The camera zoomed out little by little in the old man's voice.

The light source that once filled the entire screen became smaller and smaller, and the old man's voice became farther and farther away, gradually mixing with the echo, and it was no longer clear what he was saying.

At this point, except for a small light source in the center, the entire screen is already immersed in darkness......

Suddenly!

Horror music suddenly sounded!

A shadow with sharp claws suddenly passes through the center of the screen!

Then, in the midst of increasingly tense music, everything went dark.

"Knock Knock ......"

Heavy war drums sounded!

The dark screen suddenly lit up, and the shrieking gesture of a hideous monster insect with its teeth flashed away, and then the screen fell into darkness again.

"Knock knock!"

As the war drums beat again, the ugly flying dragon slammed across the screen!

"Knock knock!"

The drums of war grew faster and faster, and the screens flickered faster and faster—huge rushing, fire-breathing tanks, flying creatures that looked like winged snakes...... and the terrifying sight of the huge mother body covered in honeycomb dinosaurs......

All in a flash of a few seconds to an intense drum soundtrack.

Ultimately...... Countless ferocious wyverns gathered more and more, slowly rotating around the flying snake and the honeycomb mother, turning into thick dark clouds that blocked out the sun's rays!

The screen went black again, leaving the viewer with only suffocating despair......

It was only at this time that Xiong Er slowly highlighted his breath...... The oppressive atmosphere just now even made him unconsciously hold his breath!

"Knock knock!!"

Suddenly! The screen is on again!

The shrill sound of the engine roared by!

A graceful and hideous flying machine suddenly rushed out from the top of the screen! Single-handedly, like a moth to a fire, plunge into the boundless wyvern!

As the last few muffled notes sounded, the center of the screen lit up with a blood-stained steel LOGO:

"Insecticide War"

……

"Whew......" Xiong Er, who had just taken half a breath, finally took the remaining half of his breath.

"That's a ...... Blockbuster-level CG! ”
