You were told to search and attack, but you're supporting Asara?

"Operation Fireworks?! Skynet has fallen??"

Chen Xiao gasped.

Don't even mention that he's a knife-wielding booster who makes a living by playing Delta Force; even casual players would know about the famous Operation Fireworks.

As the core storyline of Season 3, Reese uses the Mandel Brick he stole at the Hafk press conference to infiltrate the "Skynet System," which supports the entire Hafk communication network, in an attempt to destroy Hafk's eyes.

The three special operations operators mentioned by the commander are undoubtedly Dragon, Claw, and Deep Blue.

The thought of meeting these three popular characters soon filled Chen Xiao with excitement.

But the next moment, his surging emotions were suppressed by the rumbling of his stomach.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Chen Xiao's mind, and he said to the still-connected communication system, "Headquarters, the Special Operations Division is currently facing a shortage of supplies and is even struggling to get enough to eat. Could you please send some supplies to support us?"

A long silence followed from the other end.

Chen Xiao called out "hello" a few times, but only some radio noise came through.

"Even the emperor doesn't starve his soldiers, so why is this GTI so stingy?" Chen Xiao muttered under his breath.

"Please contact me promptly if you lack support supplies. I have received your call and have allocated supplies to assist with subsequent operations. Please check your mail."

Although the tone on the other end was as cold and hard as ever, they still sent something symbolically.

Looking at the newly added supplies in the Special Operations Department's control panel, Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then his eyes darted around.

"Headquarters, I am about to depart to support special operations operators. I request combat supplies."

After a moment of silence, a short voice came from the other end: "Headquarters received. Please collect from the combat department."

"Not bad." Chen Xiao stroked his chin. "But I remember you can get four chances to get freebies, right?"

"Headquarters, headquarters..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, a synthesized female voice came from the other end: "Please do not make frequent calls. Calling privileges have been temporarily locked."

"Tsk, I'll make you stingy to death."

······

After eating and drinking his fill, Chen Xiao, wearing a level-three suit issued by headquarters and carrying a half-modified MP5, sat in an off-road vehicle with the GTI logo and drove towards the heart of Asara with a group of ground personnel.

Chen Xiao's Special Operations Unit was built underground, just like in the game, between the Longbow Valley and the Zero Dam. This was the first time he had stepped out of the Special Operations Unit.

Many team members were chewing gum and chatting loudly in the carriage about the upcoming Christmas, their tone full of the ease of their upcoming vacation.

In contrast to their recklessness, Chen Xiao sat quietly to the side, holding his gun, observing the ravaged land through the car window from a first-person perspective.

Everywhere were bullet-riddled ruins, the streets were almost blocked by roadblocks and abandoned military vehicles, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and decay, and behind the ruins, many eyes, filled with fear and hatred, peered at the convoy.

Meanwhile, the Tower of Babel, rising abruptly from the ground and wedging itself into the sea of ​​clouds, seems almost within reach, standing out starkly from the dilapidated Asara, looking down upon this land like a god.

Chen Xiao looked away and raised his arm to glance at his watch.

2035年12月19日，15：28

"We'll be there soon," Chen Xiao thought to himself.

"Hey bro." The burly Black teammate sitting next to Chen Xiao nudged him with his elbow: "You were transferred from the Asian division?"

"Yes, Chinese special operations agents," Chen Xiao replied vaguely, which unexpectedly made the other party burst into laughter.

"Don't kid me, bro. There aren't any special forces operatives crammed into the same vehicle as us," Gleeson scoffed. "Those capable people are always flying around in the name of maintaining world peace. Have the Avengers seen that?"

"They are Iron Man and Captain America, we are just pawns in S.H.I.E.L.D."

Chen Xiao remained silent despite the dissatisfaction in his tone, but suddenly the commander's command came through the earpiece, his tone as cold and hard as ever, yet with a hint of seriousness:

"Intelligence indicates that 'Hellish Black Shark' Reiss successfully attacked Hafk Skynet satellites, and multiple satellites are showing signs of crashing. We failed to stop Reiss, and the mission has failed."

"Mission objective changed: Destroy the satellite debris and evacuate local residents before the Skynet satellite crashes. You have one hour left. The satellite will crash in the vicinity in one hour. Take action!"

Chen Xiao's heart sank. Just as in the plot, at 3:30, the Hafk SkyNet satellites fell one after another.

He glanced at the group of soldiers who clearly hadn't received a direct order from their commander, stood up, and was about to announce the command when a sweet yet solemn female voice suddenly rang out from the vehicle's loudspeaker:

"Attention all ground personnel, this is Lena Van der Meier, Special Operations Agent for the European Division, codename 'Butterfly'."

"The Hafk Skynet satellite has been attacked and will crash in the vicinity in an hour. We need to urgently evacuate the surrounding residents and guide them to air defense facilities."

"My drones and I will continue to provide medical assistance. Please, everyone, take action now!"

A commotion immediately erupted inside the car:

"Wasn't it supposed to be a combat mission? How did it turn into evacuating civilians?"

"How are we supposed to communicate with these uncivilized, barbaric monkeys?"

"Is it too late to scratch off the GTI badge on the car?"

Chen Xiao listened quietly to their complaints. Interestingly, the person who called the locals "savage monkeys" had a skin color that was almost the same as the locals.

The bumpy convoy stopped outside a village. Although the soldiers complained, their professionalism remained excellent. They got out of the vehicles in an orderly manner to guard the area. The convoy used the terrain to establish a defensive perimeter, and many heavy machine gunners and rocket launcher operators stepped forward to suppress the local armed forces.

The soldiers searched buildings and intersections in groups of three to eliminate threats. Once everything was ready, several streaks of light with trailing flames streaked across the sky.

Chen Xiao looked further into the distance and saw a J-20 fighter jet approaching with a sharp whooshing sound, heading towards the "meteor" falling from the sky.

A heated argument drew Chen Xiao's attention back to the scene. Several elderly indigenous people were clashing with the soldiers, their eyes filled with hatred.

In their eyes, GTI and Hafk were no different; both were despicable invaders who attempted to force them to leave the land where they had lived for generations.

Groups of elderly people and women knelt on the ground, praying to the approaching "shooting star," ignoring the words of a young girl with braided hair who was earnestly advising them to leave.

The evacuation stalled at the very first step.

Chen Xiao took two steps forward: "You must be Lena van der Meier?"

Lina, who was trying to persuade the locals, looked up, her face still showing anxiety. Her fluent Dutch was translated into pleasant Mandarin through the headset: "Yes, I am Lina. May I ask who you are?"

"I am Chen Xiao, a special operations agent from the Asian branch." He paused, then gave himself a codename: "Prophet."

"Hello, Officer Chen. You can just call me Lina." Lina gave a perfunctory greeting and continued to persuade the stubborn and ignorant old people.

Chen Xiao couldn't stand it anymore: "Miss Lina, they won't leave even if the satellite crashes on their heads this way."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao pushed Lina aside and deftly cocked his MP5. He pointed it at the group of elderly people, his tone turning cold:

"GTI has now taken control of this area. Everyone, immediately cover your heads and crouch down, awaiting evacuation. Anyone who refuses to cooperate will be considered a hostile target and will be shot on the spot."

Not only Lina, but even the group of soldiers arguing with the natives in the distance looked at her with shock, as if they were looking at a madman.

"This goes against the code of conduct..." Lina stammered.

As soon as Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the curses of the old men stopped abruptly, and a trace of fear flashed in their cloudy eyes.

"You...you bandits!" An old man leaning on a wooden cane pointed at Chen Xiao, his voice filled with anger, but his body had already involuntarily taken half a step back.

"Three seconds." Chen Xiao said expressionlessly, his finger on the trigger guard. "Three, two..."

"Don't shoot! We'll cooperate! We'll cooperate!" A middle-aged woman who had been kneeling and praying rushed forward, desperately pulling the elderly people and children down to squat down, covering their heads and trembling.

Chen Xiao gave a wink to the soldiers, who snapped out of their daze and followed suit, cocking their guns and becoming more assertive towards the stubborn indigenous people.

Once the first resident gave up resistance, the others followed suit, crouching down with their heads in their hands, awaiting further instructions.

"Take them away!" Chen Xiao gestured with his chin towards his accomplices.

Watching the residents being herded into the car like sheep, Lina also put on a stern face and said through the loudspeaker in the same cold tone as Chen Xiao: "Please do not put up any futile resistance. GTI will guarantee your personal safety."

However, her voice was so gentle that Chen Xiao couldn't keep his cold and stern expression and burst out laughing.
