The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

Chapter 79 May you return safely.

Another month has passed.

The comment section of Chaoxi's account still features the familiar style.

[On the ninety-ninth day, the spaceship still hasn't landed... At this rate, am I about to achieve immortality?]

[Day 31 of waiting for "No War Tomorrow 1"...]

Players have clearly become familiar with the rhythm of the game.

There will be a promotional video.

Screenshots will be available.

There will also be copywriting that evokes a lot of thoughts.

As for when the game will be released, that depends on when the word "about to" comes to the end of its long life.

On this day, just when all the players on the internet had already treated the daily check-in as a routine task, a small red update dot suddenly popped up on the official account of Chaoxi Games.

Countless players frantically refreshed the page and clicked on this newly released video.

[Latest trailer for "No War Tomorrow 1": We have nowhere to retreat!]

A large number of players quickly flooded the playback page.

After the video started, there were no trenches or artillery fire in the frame.

A slightly yellowed sheet of paper slowly unfolded under the dim light.

The camera slowly zooms in.

The contents of the letter gradually became clearer.

【Dear Arthur:】

By the time you open this letter, you will already be wearing your military uniform and heading to a faraway place with your comrades.

The day you left, the townspeople all said you must have been eager to achieve great things.

I didn't expose you.

Because I know you're actually very scared.

In the video, a gentle female voice then rang out, slowly reading the contents of the letter.

You always said that after the war was over, you would take me to London to see a real football match.

But you've never even ridden the train in town. Last time you went out, you almost got lost.

The bakery in town has changed its sign again... Your mother has been visiting us a lot lately, and she always complains that the letters you send back are too short.

Everyone is proud of you.

【Me too.】

[But more than the heroes in the newspapers, I wish you were still the Arthur you always were.]

She might put salt in her coffee thinking it's sugar, forget her umbrella on a rainy day, and be afraid of the mayor's dog!

You can be brave, or you can be afraid.

You can protect many people, but you must also protect yourself.

We'll get married after you come back.

I will always wait for you.

I will pray for you under the oak tree in our hometown.

May you return safely.

As the last four words appeared, the background roar suddenly grew closer.

The screen shook violently.

A spark landed on the edge of the letter and quickly burned a small black hole.

The flames spread upwards along the paper, and before the player could react, hurried conversations could be heard all around.

"The German army has cut off the road to the south!"

"The port has been attacked by air, and the docks are unusable!"

"How long can the French defenses hold out?"

"I don't know, maybe half a day, maybe several hours!"

"Get everyone who can move to the outer perimeter!"

"There are still hundreds of thousands of people on the beach; we must hold this place!"

"..."

The sounds became increasingly mixed.

The sounds of gunfire, footsteps, vehicles, and soldiers' shouts mingled together.

The burning letter finally fell, and the screen lit up.

Under the gray sky, there was a beach that seemed to stretch endlessly.

On the beach and in the shallow sea, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, densely packed together and stretching as far as the eye could see!

They were ragged, disarmed, and exhausted as they made their way to the sea, where wrecked planks and burning oil slicks floated on the surface.

An officer lay prone in a mud pit, pressing down hard on his constantly loosening helmet.

"All retreat routes have been cut off."

The soldier beside him was pale.

"So what do we do?"

The officer looked up at the dark beach behind him.

Hundreds of thousands of coalition troops are waiting to evacuate.

He paused for a few seconds, then reached for the rifle beside him.

"What else can we do?"

"We have nowhere to retreat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shells exploded in front of the position.

The mud was hurled up, completely covering the entire scene.

Amidst the thick smoke, the letter, which was already mostly burned, reappeared.

The next second, the letter turned to ashes.

The screen went dark.

A cold, impersonal countdown appeared in the center of the screen.

【07:00:00】

The numbers started jumping.

【06:59:59】

Then, for the first time, clear information about the game appeared in the trailer.

[A Brand New Masterpiece from Chaoxi Games]

[No War Tomorrow 1]

[Go live in seven hours]

Price: 68 yuan

The video doesn't end there.

Then came a long countdown...

Immediately afterwards, the comments section on the video exploded.

Holy crap! It's actually online!

[Finally, it's not just about to happen! Thankfully, my bottom line is flexible!]

[Holy crap! Finally, something different! This time it's "immediately"! I've been waiting for months to finally see the words "immediately"! "Immediately" is a million times more convincing than "soon"!]

[I don't care anymore, nobody sleeps tonight! Assemble in the trenches in seven hours!]

[Wait a minute! I get the logic now! Seven hours later? That's 8 PM! Finally!]

[Calm down, seven hours is already very short. The show next door, "Love Requires Talking to People," has been running for over a hundred days.]

[Speaking of which, why was a war game released first? Did a latecomer surpass the established players?]

[Hahaha! "No War Tomorrow 1" is already online; "Love Requires Talking to People" hasn't been released yet, so I can keep living! Thank you, President Jiang, for granting me immortality!!]

[The bro who said he'd never die until he played a dating sim, well, your lifespan has been extended again.]

Don't worry, as I said, Chaoxi Games will never let you die easily.

[German? French? Is this a plot from World War II? Loyalty!]

[Retaking the exam is great! If you don't pass, you can try again!]

In addition, the price has also sparked some discussion.

Sixty-eight? The price has gone up again?

It's normal for war games to have higher production costs; the scenes in the trailer are indeed grand.

I've waited so long, I hope it won't be for nothing!

If they can actually recreate the battlefield from the promotional video, 68 yuan wouldn't be expensive.

[Weren't Chaoxi Games' products previously priced at ten or thirty-something yuan? This time they've gone straight to 68 yuan?! Has the old fox finally shown its capitalist fangs?]

Price increases are acceptable, but quality must rise accordingly! Tonight I'll be using a magnifying glass in the game!

I hope the game quality will make my wait worthwhile. As long as it doesn't fall short of expectations, I can accept 68 yuan!

Many streamers also quickly adjusted their live streaming schedules.

We were originally planning to broadcast other games that evening, but we changed the title to "See you on the battlefield tomorrow, seven hours from now!"

Originally planning to rest that night, they quietly started preparing for the live stream. For them, the traffic from a new game is enormous!

If you seize this opportunity, you might gain a lot of followers!

In various player groups, the message was also being spammed like crazy.

Anyone want to hang out at 8 PM?

"I've already taken leave."

"What kind of leave did you ask for? Isn't today the weekend?"

"Then I can rest assured!"

"Brothers, download it in advance, so you don't get stuck outside the server."

"The game isn't even available for download yet, where are you going to download it in advance?"

"Then I'll clean the hard drive first!"

After waiting for so long, players no longer need to guess when the game will be released.

All eyes were fixed on the ever-decreasing number.
