What Delta? Isn't it Operation Assara?

Meanwhile, Zhao Yu, accompanied by his adjutant, several chief guards, and the remaining Asara Guard soldiers, cleared out Hafk's soldiers and arrived at the main substation.

In the eyes of the Asara Guard soldiers, Zhao Yu was like a god at this moment. Those tough Hafk soldiers fell in droves in front of Said, like wheat being harvested by a sickle.

From the visitor center to the main substation, and then to Hafk, where the main substation was cleaned up, Sayyid single-handedly eliminated at least fifty Hafk soldiers.

Of course, in Zhao Yu's eyes, it was quite the opposite.

A Hafk soldier and an Asara Guard soldier could hold their guns and fight like idiots for several minutes, but neither could kill the other.

This thing made Zhao Yu's blood pressure rise.

How could it take so long?

Just shoot him in the head and he's done.

Inside the main building of the substation, the Asara Guard soldiers who were originally stationed there had almost all been wiped out, with only one shield bearer remaining, barely clinging to life until Zhao Yu arrived.

"Sir." The shield-bearer looked at Zhao Yu and nodded.

Zhao Yu didn't say anything, but gripped the M7 even tighter.

"Brother!" Behind Zhao Yu, an Asara Guard soldier, his voice trembling with tears, rushed to the side of the dying shield bearer.

"Stop crying, you silly... silly boy." The shieldman was already on his deathbed.

"Got any cigarettes?" the shieldman continued.

The Asara Guard soldier quickly searched around, and finally, another Asara Guard soldier next to him handed him a crumpled cigarette case with only a few cigarettes left. The cigarettes were then placed in the mouth of the shield bearer lying on the ground.

He pulled out a lighter, but his hand, which usually didn't tremble when holding a gun, couldn't light it after several tries, until the cigarette fell from the shield-bearer's lips and onto the ground.

"Sir!" The Asara Guard soldier stood up from beside the shieldman's body.

At this moment, in CG mode, neither Hafk nor Asara's units will turn into loot boxes after they die; their corpses will remain in place.

"Thank you... for remembering General Amin." The Asara Guard soldier looked at Zhao Yu and said.

Since the construction of Dam Zero, the water level of the Umu River has dropped, farmland has become barren due to the loss of water, and hunters and fishermen have been displaced due to changes in the ecological environment.

Those people of Asara who had lost everything took up arms and became soldiers of the Asara Guard.

Both of them had once followed General Amin, but after General Amin was arrested by Hafk, Yousef declared himself king, and Asara's guard instantly fell apart. Many of General Amin's former subordinates, those who fought for Asara, chose to follow Saeed.

"In the future... will anyone remember that we once fought here for Asara?"

"Sir," the Asara Guard soldier continued to ask.

This question silenced Zhao Yu, who was now using the identity of Said. He wanted to say that no nation would forget the sacrifices and contributions of its martyrs.

This is not the case.

Human hearts are fickle, and the world changes like the sea turning into mulberry fields. At the shrine of Buddha Li, the usual scene is just crows and drums.

Humans are such ugly things.

Should he lie to these people in front of him, or tell them the truth?

After a long period of contemplation, Zhao Yu slowly spoke, in the name of Captain Said of the Guard, and in the name of the people of Asara.

"Our names will sink into the dark river of history, while the star of victory will rise above Asara."

On the scorched earth plowed by artillery fire, we will not be farmers sowing seeds of glory, nor workers rebuilding order.

We are the soil crushed underground, yet capable of supporting the seeds of spring; we are the foundation upon which towering skyscrapers rise.

History will remember who lit the final torch.

"What Hafk sees is 'annihilation,' they will never understand—a broken sword will become the ore for forging plowshares for those who come after; a fallen wall will become the boundary markers for tomorrow's fields."

"Let's go, brother, let's write our wills in the shape of seeds..."

"Buried in the shattered landscape of Asara."

[It's getting exciting!]

[Fire!]

[This should be Old Sai's last dance. Farewell, Commander Said!]

【Respectfully seeing you off…】

【+1. 】

Zhao Yu felt a mix of emotions as he said these words.

From beginning to end, he knew perfectly well that he was just an actor playing the role of Said, and everything about Asara... had nothing to do with him.

To say that someone living in peace could truly empathize with the people of Asara is simply making a fuss over nothing.

But humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

Zhao Yu's tactics were the same as when he dealt with those operators before: attack the administration building from underground, then launch a central attack to defend the administration building, continuously deplete Hafk's forces, and then wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

Underground, Zhao Yu met up with another flamethrower soldier from Asara and two Asara Guard soldiers. Hafk's attack was currently still on the surface, and some underground areas were still under the control of the Asara Guard.

Zhao Yu pulled out his black card, swiped it to unlock the underground passage, and led a group of Asara chieftain's guards and Asara's soldiers into the underground passage.

As Zhao Yu entered the underground passage, Asara's action system issued a notification.

[Upgrade: The "Boss Meeting" mission is now ready to be completed.]

[Rewards are being distributed based on the operators' emotional fluctuations...]

【奖励已发放：5.8×42mm系列子弹生产线已解锁、武器QBZ95-1、腾龙突击步枪、QJB201轻机枪及部分武器配件已解锁製造权限。】

(Note: Production can begin gradually as military camp permissions are upgraded.)

[Assault Infantry Lieutenant Pack x1.]

[You have successfully convinced the operators that you have the support of a major power, and this is being realized. Trading post access has been unlocked.]

"5.8×42mm bullets?" Zhao Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. Why this particular series of bullets?

What's going on with these operators?

He didn't steer the conversation in that direction either.

However, this reward is quite generous for Zhao Yu, as the 95, Tenglong, and 201 are all excellent weapons.

In particular, unlocking the gun manufacturing permission was a lifesaver for Zhao Yu. Before this, even UZIs and Bisons had to be bought from Reis, or by spending kill points to buy full weapon packs.

All three weapons are highly accurate and stable. The Tenglong and 201 can be used effectively in high-level matches, while the Type 95 can be widely deployed to Assara Guard soldiers.

Anyway, the Tenglong and 201 are much better than that crappy AK-12. Now that the bullet production line is unlocked, we can completely replace the AK-12.

The reward was quite generous, so Zhao Yu didn't think too much about it.

[Should we end the mission leader meeting?]

"No!" Zhao Yu chose no without even thinking.

He is now eager for a major battle.

Just before entering the administration building, Zhao Yu changed his mind again.

"You all stay here. From now on, I'll manage on my own!" He would be devastated if these chieftains were replaced by a few Hafk soldiers.

"But sir!"

"No buts, this is an order!"

"As long as you live, Said will not die!"
