Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 615 What can save you, my Great Commander!
If it weren't for this incident, Cheng would have almost forgotten that the "Captain America" ​​archetype ever existed.

After all, he entered the FC Batman instance and only completed a small level against Killer Moth, without completing the main storyline. Therefore, this Captain America template can only remain in an unresolved state.

Although he was grateful for the help the Captain America template had given him back then, it didn't have much value for Cheng Tian now. Even if it were used to finish the game, it probably wouldn't be a bonus, let alone a lifesaver.

...No, its charcoal has indeed been delivered; it was abducted by the Martians in place of Cheng Tian's original body.

If we go through all the templates that Cheng Tian has loaded so far, the Captain America template and the Vampire Hunter template are probably the easiest to handle... right?

Seeing the Captain America template image that had been kidnapped in his place, Cheng Tian certainly wouldn't do nothing.

Golden ripples reappeared behind him, and the cannons prepared to launch a full-scale, three-dimensional encirclement and attack on the Hyde helicopter bomber where the fake Modern was located.

However, at that very moment, a medium-sized Martian spaceship, consisting of a classic sphere and an outer ring, emerged from its stealth state and landed directly above the Hyde.

"Ah ...

A series of short, sharp, and high-pitched screams with strong penetrating power also appeared along with the spaceship.

General Modern, dressed only in a military cap, a right eyeband, and strawberry-patterned underwear, was hung on the outside of the spaceship in a crudely made external suspension method. He struggled and howled, leaving the Modern Army soldiers below completely dumbfounded.

Cheng, who originally planned to launch all his missiles, also slammed on the brakes and stopped his King's Arms.

It can only be said that he truly lives up to his name as General Modern. I wonder how long he was kept and abused by the Martians. At least he still looks quite energetic, and his howls are full of vigor.

With General Modern as a human shield, the spaceship retrieved the fake Modern in front of everyone and began to take off.

It was at this point in time that players who were simultaneously located on the edge of the rocket launch base, belonging to two different factions—the government forces and the Modern Army—received slightly different spatial notifications.

[Main Quest Change - "What Can Save You, My Commander! / Save Private Steve!"]

[Team mission, multi-faction cooperative mission. With the fake Modern's identity exposed and the real Modern being abducted by Martians, the entire Modern Army, led by Sergeant "Alan O'Neill" (the bald machine gunner), immediately changes its strategic objective. They will completely abandon the war with the government forces and instead choose to focus all their efforts on rescuing General Modern, even at the cost of directly going into space to fight the Martian forces to the death!]

[Modern Army Faction - Modern Army faction players will be forced to accept this mission.]

If you choose to accept, you will need to complete all the preparations within the next two hours with other Modern Army soldiers, and finally board the "Modern Army Rocket Cluster" to go into outer space to engage in a full-scale battle with the Martian camp and try to rescue General Modern.

If you choose to refuse, you will be forcibly removed from the Modern Army camp, and an immediate withdrawal route will be initiated. The Modern Army will then allocate a small force to carry out the traitor execution mission.

[Government Forces Faction - Players in the Government Forces faction can choose whether or not to accept this mission.]

If you choose to accept, you will enter into a cooperative relationship with the Modern Army. You will also need to complete all preparations and board the "Modern Army Rocket Cluster" within the next two hours. However, your core demands are different from those of the Modern Army. After successfully boarding the Martian flagship, you will need to rescue Soldier Steve, but you will also need to be adaptable to changing circumstances.

If you choose to refuse, you will remain on Earth and will not participate in the subsequent main quest. As long as players from both factions complete the main quest, you will also be considered to have completed the quest, but your final rating will be lowered by one level. Whether you voluntarily board the "Modern Army Rocket Cluster" two hours later will be the final determination of your acceptance of this main quest.

Any player who is attentive and willing to carefully study the dungeon descriptions should have noticed something a long time ago.

The original Metal Slug entry for "Government Forces vs. Rebels" only described the two sides as opposing each other and that they could switch sides under special conditions. However, the new entry explicitly states that "cooperation between the two sides is possible."

Many players were indeed somewhat prepared for this, but they simply didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and quickly.

The players from both sides, who were originally locked in combat around the base, gradually withdrew their killing intent and weapons.

Because the cooperative mission was triggered too early and too quickly, the players on both sides hadn't really gotten into a fight yet, and there wasn't much of a life-or-death hatred between them. The one who was most seriously injured was the Beastmaster Wyvern Rexxar, who was shot down by Cheng Tiangan in a single encounter.

Moreover, due to his formidable strength, the fatal fall damage that would be fatal to other players is really nothing to him.

I'd like to thank Mr. Cheng here.

If it weren't for his super-fast 2.4 Mach speed thanks to the silver surfboard, and the fact that he skipped the fake Modern boss fight due to the Martian faction's hatred, the combined time saved would have inevitably led to a fight between players from both sides.

As long as no one is actually killed at this stage, it won't have any irreparable impact on subsequent faction cooperation.

Unless someone is so petty as to be completely unable to accept it.

Another noteworthy point is that Cheng Tian's extremely high movement speed also allowed him to successfully avoid a mid-game boss battle.

Before actually confronting the fake Modern, they still need to face Modern Army's most famous immortal bald sergeant, "Allen O'Neill".

This bald guy's most famous battle was in Metal Slug 2, where he was defeated by the player and swallowed by an orca, spitting out a lot of bones.

But many people probably don't know that the large number of bones that came out of the whale's mouth were not actually Bald Allen's, but the whale's.

A tough guy named Allen crawled inside a whale's belly and dismantled its bones...

Cheng Tian's actions in quickly triggering the subsequent main storyline also indirectly allowed Allen to "survive" and become the backbone of the Modern Army at this stage.

As one of the most loyal core members who defected with General Morden back then, Allen's ability to mobilize Morden's army is unparalleled. Under his leadership, a massive number of soldiers, weapons, and supplies in the base are being loaded into rockets in an assembly line-like manner.

All the soldiers of the Modern Army have only one goal: to break out of Earth, go into space, and rescue their beloved leader!
