In the next two days, the Germans launched three more military operations against the bridge, as Shen Yi expected, each stronger and more ferocious.

With the help of the adventurers, the 2nd Airborne Battalion fought continuously for two days and two nights, and stubbornly withstood these three waves of powerful offensives, but in these three waves of attacks, the 2nd Airborne Battalion failed to complete a single annihilation battle, and each time it only withstood the attack.

In the fourth wave of attacks, one adventurer was killed, and another broke a leg. This is the first time that the adventurer team has suffered casualties since the bridge was taken. This means that the upcoming battle is getting harder and harder to fight over time.

The fifth round of the German offensive was launched at four o'clock in the afternoon of the sixth day.

About 700 German soldiers, 22 tanks, and seven or eight artillery pieces, the frenzied bombardment almost leveled the town where the 2nd Airborne Battalion was located. The battle continued until the early hours of the seventh day, when the Germans finally retreated, and the town was desolate as far as the eye could see.

The wounded soldiers lay down on the battlefield and wailed, while the soldiers who had the strength to move around rummaged around, looking for ammunition in the ruins, looking for enemy soldiers so that they could refill their shots, looking for their own wounded, and seeing if there was any chance of recovery......

The townspeople, looking at their dilapidated homes, were no longer as excited about the arrival of the British paratroopers as they had been.

They walked unconsciously on the ruins, like lonely souls in the wilderness.

Sitting on an abandoned tank, Shen Yi looked at this desolate scene, motionless like a stone statue.

Gentleness came to sit down beside him, and said to herself: "Looking at the current situation, it is really impossible not to wonder how this world came to be, and what makes all this so real. I used to think that they were just tools used by the Bloody City to test us, and that there were no real thoughts and feelings. But look at it now, they are sad, they are desperate, they are happy, they are miserable, they are angry, they hate, they laugh, they are crazy. Can you say they're all NPCs?"

For this statement, Shen Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "I haven't thought about it so much. All I know is that the damn city has sent us to this hellish place, to experience war and bloody pain, to taste death and despair, and its purpose is never to let us experience the philosophy of life, the meaning of life, in battle. So it doesn't matter to me whether they are real or fake, what matters is whether we can get out of this place alive or not. ”

Gently burst out laughing, very good-looking: "That being said, but I can't help but wonder, why does the Bloody City exist, who created it, and what is the significance of its existence?"

"Why does it have to be meaningful?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically: "Is there really an answer to everything in the world? If that's the case, what's the point of people living in the world? If you don't know what the meaning is, can't you live?"

Gentle: "Don't you think there should be an answer to the origin of the bloody city?"

"I don't think so. Shen Yi replied: "Just like the stars, the moon, and the sun, they all exist." To exist is to exist, and there is no meaning at all. Meaning is just a word invented by man, and it has no meaning in itself. I wasn't interested in why Bloody City existed, just as I didn't think about why I was human, why I was studying, why I was working, why I hated things when I was living on Earth. Perhaps the Bloody City itself is a world, and all the tasks and rewards are only a part of this world, and it is also the way it operates, just as it is natural for people to eat, drink, and Lazar. ”

"Then why are we here?"

"Maybe it's because life on Earth is self-infuriating, and this world can only rely on plunder. ”

Gentle laughed: "I have never heard such a novel point of view. Then why are only humans being plundered?"

"Maybe it's not just humans. Shen Yi replied.

Gentle and stunned: "What do you mean ......?"

"If this is a world, then maybe there is more than one bloody city. Shen Yi replied: "It's like there is more than one country on the earth, more than one race, and more than one nation...... Forget it, I said there's no need to explore why it exists, here, the only thing we mean is to survive, fight and be strong. ”

looked at Shen Yi gently and stunned, and said for a long time: "It seems that you have adapted to the new environment." ”

"Survival of the fittest, the universal law of any world. Shen Yi replied.

For the bloody city, this is Shen Yi's opinion.

When many people thought that the bloody city was created by gods, Shen Yi felt that it might not necessarily be the creation of a god, maybe this was the form of the world itself. Just as the essence of matter is motion, the essence of this world is the cycle of life and death. It doesn't matter if this view is correct or not. The important thing is that instead of exhausting the energy to explore the meaning of its existence, it is better to adapt quickly to the world. The former is like the scientist on Earth who is searching for the mysteries of the universe, he may be extremely clever or knowledgeable, but he will never be able to find all the unknown answers. The latter, on the other hand, is like the king of the human world, who may not know anything about the composition of this world, but who can look at the world in his lifetime. And Shen Yi, he chose to become the latter.

This is also the choice of most people.

"Shen, come to me. Frost's shout was intended for a gentle conversation with Shen Yi.

Shen Yi walked over with a gun: "Is there something wrong?"

"We're running out of ammunition. As soon as Frost came up, he gave Shen Yi a very bad news, then turned his head to greet his soldiers, and shouted: "Well done, my brothers, we have repelled another attack by the German devils." I know you're working hard, but please hold on, the main Allied forces will be here soon!"

"How long can it last?" asked Shen Yi in a low voice.

"Maybe two days, maybe one day, depending on the intensity of the fighting. From yesterday to today, two-thirds of our ammunition was destroyed in one day, and if this continues, our heavy machine guns will have to be used as sniper rifles. "Frost walked deep and shallow on the ruins, with a smile of victory on his face, which gave the soldiers confidence.

"How many tanks are left?"

"There is one tank left, three more artillery pieces, and more than thirty shells, and the situation cannot be worse. ”

"The situation on my side is not very good, my people can no longer be as unafraid of bullets as they were at the beginning, too long a battle has consumed a lot of our energy, and this time it is not a trick. ”

"Yes, I saw it, some of you died. Frost sighed, the special forces are not almighty gods, and it is impossible to be invulnerable all the time: "That's why I came to you." He stopped, stood under a shady tree, and said, "Not only are we running out of ammunition, but we are also understaffed. Almost 200 brothers died, the 2nd Airborne Battalion was actually an airborne company, and now there were only more than 300 people with able-bodied limbs under my hands, and the rest were missing arms and legs, no ammunition, no people, and I was not even sure that I would be able to repel another enemy attack. The worst thing was that the news that had just been received was that the main Allied forces had just left that stretch of the road when they were stubbornly resisted by the Germans, and it was impossible to reach Arnhem in a short time. ”

Shen Yi let out a long breath.

Everything is as expected, and the battle is getting tougher and harder.

A soldier came over: "Hey, Battalion Commander Frost, I captured a saber, look, how beautiful it is, it's a Japanese sword." ”

"That's a good thing!" Frost replied, "show it to your mother when you get back, she'll love it." ”

The soldier departed happily.

Turning his head, Frost said to Shen Yi: "Telling you this, I hope you understand the situation we are currently facing. Shen, to be honest, I don't think you are professional soldiers, of course, it's no wonder, you are all people with special abilities. Maybe the British government paid a lot of money to invite you here, or maybe General MacArthur saw you as his hole cards, but now it seems that you have not played a role in changing the tide of the war. In that case, you cannot be allowed to die here in vain. ”

"What do you mean......"

"Let's go back. Frost tilted his head: "Where did you come from, where did you go back, there is no need to stay here and venture with us." ”

As Frost's words appeared, a voice suddenly appeared on the blood coat of arms: "Plot branch changes: Frost's suggestion." You can now choose whether or not to abandon optional tasks. There is no penalty for abandoning optional quests, no rewards are awarded, and friendliness is reset to zero. ”

Shen Yi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that there would be a plot branch changing direction. According to Bloody City, this is a self-help measure given by Bloody City at a critical juncture. The battle behind will obviously become more and more difficult to fight, and if you choose to retreat at this time, you can still save your life, and if you continue to persevere, you will face great danger. The problem was that Shen Yi noticed that the other adventurers didn't have any expressions on their faces and didn't talk to each other, which meant that they hadn't received any information about the change of direction of this branch.

In other words, this decision can only be made by yourself.

Obviously, this kind of branching plot is not just something that anyone can get. Not friendly enough to start a branching story. This should be another hidden role of the story mission, which allows you to get out of danger immediately in times of crisis.

However, Shen Yi did not intend to give up just like that.

In his opinion, if the first official mission was abandoned like this, he would gain safety and lose the courage to face danger. Since the world of the bloody city is a world where only the strong are supreme, then either die or live strong.

Without hesitation, he said to Frost, "I won't leave, Frost." As you said, I am indeed not a professional soldier, we were brought in by the British government at great expense, and we were General MacArthur's secret cards. But we don't just fight for money, we also carry the pride and glory of the nation on our shoulders. I hope you understand that it is not only the military that has the blood nature, and it is not the only military who knows how to sacrifice for the country. As a citizen of Great Britain, I know what I'm doing. Sacrifice for the country...... It's yours and we're proud!"

Frost looked at Shen Yi in a daze, as if he didn't expect Shen Yi to say this.

Finally, he slowly saluted Shen Yi: "Lieutenant Colonel Frost, Commander of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, on behalf of all the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, I would like to make my deepest thanks and highest respect to you!"

Warning, Bloody Emblem Tips: Abandon Frost's suggestion, gain Frost's respect, and greatly increase the friendship with the 2nd Airborne Battalion, which is currently 450 points. In the ensuing battle, you will receive 2.25 percent of the combat contribution of the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion. This difficulty mission is beginner and has a maximum friendship value of 500 points.

This time, Shen Yi was already prepared in his heart.
