Fang Yan leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath.

Not many people were using memes in the live stream.

From Dunkirk all the way to Normandy, and then to Germany's surrender, many viewers have followed him through the entire war.

They thought the game would end after the surrender screen.

But when the screen lit up again, Theo had already returned to England.

He did not participate in the celebration parade.

In the military camp, an officer handed him several letters and a notice of death in action.

He needed to return to a small coastal town to deliver the news of the soldier's death to his family.

Fang Yan's fingers suddenly stopped when he saw the name on the envelope.

He was a soldier who died in the Battle of Dunkirk; his letter appeared in the game's opening trailer.

He sat in the muddy trench, reading the paper stroke by stroke:

"I'll come back after the war is over."

"Let's get married."

Now, Theo has returned to his hometown in place of his fallen comrade.

The town was very quiet.

Several dilapidated fishing boats were moored at the dock, and faded black veils hung outside many houses. Theo asked several residents and finally found the address of the girl in the letter.

An elderly woman with gray hair opened the door.

She saw the military envelope in Theo's hand and seemed to immediately understand something.

The old woman did not cry; she simply invited him into the house.

There was a picture of a girl hanging on the wall in the living room.

The young woman in the photo is standing next to a small boat, smiling brightly.

Theo took out the death notice, but hesitated to hand it over.

The old woman glanced at the name on the envelope and said softly:

"She waited a long time."

"Dunkirk later needed ships."

"Almost everyone in the town who could sail a boat went."

Fang Yan's gaze fell on another group photo on the wall.

Dozens of residents were standing in front of the dock.

Fishermen, workers, elderly people, and a few young women.

They were huddled together, with boats of all sizes behind them.

The old woman pointed to the girl in the photo.

"She went too."

"On the second return trip, the ship was hit by a bomb."

Theo held two letters in his hands that could never be delivered to each other.

One person died on the other side of Dunkirk.

Another person died at sea on the way to Dunkirk.

They are all waiting for the war to end.

They didn't live to see it.

The old woman took the letter, which was many years overdue, and placed it together with the photograph left by the girl.

Theo walked out of the house.

The setting sun cast its light on the quiet dock, where several old boats swayed gently with the waves.

In the distance, church bells rang, and the houses on both sides of the street still had their faded black veils hanging on them.

The smoke of battle has cleared, and we can finally see the stars in the sky!

He saw the starry sky...

There was no grand victory celebration at the end of the game.

Only one line of text slowly appeared.

This is how war ends—not with a loud bang, but with a mournful sigh.

Fang Yan sat in front of the computer, remaining silent for a long time.

For him at this moment, the game is his greatest tragedy; however, the character is inside, while he is outside!

At this moment, for all those who went to the battlefield, this misfortune was not a downpour, but a dampness that would permeate their entire lives!

In the live stream, someone finally remembered the name of the game.

[No War Tomorrow 1]

They have been waiting for a tomorrow without war.

[A bad ending? Is it really over?]

[Germany has already surrendered, what more can be done? It's obviously over!]

The next second, the screen went completely black.

Fang Yan raised his hand, ready to exit the game.

Just as the mouse was about to land on the close button, a faint electrical sound suddenly came from the screen.

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

This is the sound transmitted from the sonar of an underwater submarine, followed immediately by the sound of ocean waves.

This time, however, the waves were even heavier than those at Dunkirk.

In the darkness, the sound of military boots pounding on metal deck could be heard. Someone shouted in the distance, and then a rapid throng of footsteps surged forward.

Before the comments could react, the sonic beeping was ripped apart by an extremely deafening bang!

"Ugh...!!!"

That was... the sound of a ship's horn belonging to a giant steel warship!

The sound of raging waves crashing against steel armor was transmitted directly from the screen.

Then, the pitch-black screen suddenly ripped apart!

This time, what appeared was neither muddy trenches nor burning towns.

Instead, it was a deep, boundless, raging black sea, churning in a violent storm!

The camera zooms in suddenly, revealing a battleship that resembles a mobile Great Wall at sea, braving towering waves and splitting hundreds of tons of seawater in two!

Its massive, terrifying triple-mounted main guns were slowly raised, aimed at the stormy night sky!

"Whoosh...whoosh!!!"

Before the roar of the waves had subsided, a chilling engine ripping sound suddenly echoed through the sky!

The roar of the engine quickly drowned out the sound of the waves.

In just a few seconds, an ultimate audio-visual bombardment!

The camera pans past the ship and quickly ascends into the sky.

Above the clouds, dozens of fighter jets formed a formation and flew towards the other side of the horizon. Sunlight shone on the wings, but in the distance, a dense cluster of black dots had already appeared.

The sound on the radio became urgent.

"Enemy fleet detected!"

"All pilots, to combat positions immediately!"

"Repeat, immediately move into combat position!"

The next second, the air raid siren suddenly sounded.

The ship's anti-aircraft guns simultaneously rotated, their muzzles rapidly rising into the sky. Ground crew on deck scattered and evacuated, and the first fighter jet sped off along the flight deck, suddenly rising just before crashing into the sea.

More fighter jets followed closely behind.

On the sea, the ship's guns began to adjust their direction.

In the sky, two groups of aircraft are getting closer and closer.

Just as both sides were about to enter firing range, the image suddenly froze.

The sounds of engines, alarms, and waves disappeared simultaneously.

In the darkness, a line of text slowly emerged.

The mud on the land has dried up.

But the steel hunt in the deep ocean and the life-or-death battle at 10,000 meters in the air... have only just begun.

Immediately afterwards, two brand-new game logos appeared one after another.

【No War Tomorrow: Raging Seas】

[Naval Battles]

In the scene, a torpedo sweeps across the dark depths of the sea, heading straight for the distant fleet.

Then, a second logo appeared.

[No War Tomorrow: Eagle Soars Through the Skies]

[Aerial Combat]

A damaged fighter jet trailed black smoke as it flew through the clouds, pursued closely by several enemy planes.

The screen went dark again.

Finally, only a few words remained.

Many people died in May 1940; that day was unusually quiet.

The military's summary of that day was just one sentence: "No fighting today."

[ChaoXi Games' "No War Tomorrow" war trilogy series is in the long-term planning stages. Stay tuned!]
