Chapter 3 Old classmate, our soldiers found it first! (Please read on and add to your favorites)

At the same time.

The brightly lit headquarters of the Red Army's combined arms brigade also encountered the same anomaly.

"Was it those bastards from the Blue Army who caused the full-channel electromagnetic interference? Damn the directing department! They're not following the script again!" A Red Army staff officer laughed and blew a smoke ring.

"Hey~ that must be it. I bet those guys in the directing department saw the Blues weren't playing well and let them win!"

"Damn it! After this is over, I'm going to drink those bastards until they're dead."

Another operations staff officer said with a forced smile, "It's alright. Even if they come up with new tricks, we'll make them bleed this time!"

Just as Red Army Brigade Commander Fu was about to reassure his troops and say a few polite words, a messenger rushed in, looking flustered and his voice trembling.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, something...something terrible has happened!"

Brigade Commander Fu frowned, displeased, and said, "What kind of behavior is this, all this panic! If the Blue Army sees this, what will become of the Red Army's reputation?"

"Report, it's not...it's not the Blue Team!"

The messenger was breathless, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

"It's...it's a portal! A portal of light! A portal to another dimension has appeared in the simulated urban combat zone!"

"Just now... just now, Zhao Chong's sniper team, who were stationed inside the building, said they personally witnessed a huge portal of light appear out of thin air!"

"And...and also, Captain Zhao Chong and gunner Xiao Zhou saw a person without any weapons or equipment enter the portal...and then the person just vanished! They also said that the reward for developing the other world would be that it would open in 72 hours."

Brigade Commander Fu: "???"

at the same time!

Commander Man, the brigade commander at the Blue Army command, also received almost the exact same emergency report.

"Correspondent, I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again!"

The messenger, panting heavily, tried his best to calm himself down.

"Yes... Reporting to the Brigade Commander, our... our A Operations Company, which is attacking on the outskirts of the 'Urban C Street Warfare Zone,' has sent a message... they... they discovered a portal of light inside the city's training building!"

"Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

Commander Man's thick eyebrows shot up suddenly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm sure it's not an illusion; it's a portal to another dimension."

The messenger swallowed hard, struggling to organize his thoughts.

"According to... according to the reconnaissance team, it was... a gigantic gate at least five meters high and five meters wide, entirely composed of incomprehensible blue energy, radiating a dazzling array of colors!"

"Besides that, there's another strange thing! The soldiers say that when they get close to that light gate within a certain range, information about that light gate inexplicably appears in their minds."

The messenger's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

Commander Man was full of questions.

"That's right!" The messenger took a deep breath and hurriedly added, "We just tested it with our allies, and any individual communication device that gets close to that light gate immediately and completely malfunctions! The signal is completely cut off!"

Upon hearing the details of the communication equipment malfunction and observing the messenger's seemingly genuine expression, Commander Man almost blurted out a certain suspicion.

He turned to the deputy brigade commander and several key staff officers beside him: "Gentlemen, did you all hear what he said clearly?"

An advisor rubbed his chin: "It's unbelievable, but the communication equipment malfunction just now is very likely directly related to that suddenly appearing 'time portal'!"

"Are there really aliens?"

"No wonder that strong electromagnetic pulse was different from the ones we experienced before."

Traditional strong electromagnetic pulses can be felt by people.

Prolonged exposure to electromagnetic pulses can cause a burning sensation in the body; military-grade directed energy can even destroy electrical appliances.

The pulse was weak and disappeared in a moment, and it did not damage their equipment.

"Shall we go and take a look?" the deputy brigade commander suggested with a serious expression.

Just then, a technical officer rushed over.

"Reporting to the brigade commander! Regional communications have been initially restored!"

"Can you confirm if there is any abnormal source?" Commander Man immediately asked.

"Report! According to radar monitoring data from multiple directions, the source of that unusually strong electromagnetic interference wave is pointing towards the 'Urban C Street Fighting Zone'! And this electromagnetic pulse is continuing to spread outwards!"

Commander Man took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with an unprecedented glint.

"Wow... This is big news!" He waved excitedly, his voice firm and decisive: "I order—the guard and combat units to switch to live ammunition, notify friendly forces, the exercise is canceled! This mission, our Blue Army must succeed!"

"yes!"

"Deputy Chief of Staff, you immediately report everything unusual to the higher command! The rest of you, come with me! I'll personally lead a team to 'Urban Warfare Zone C'!"

He keenly realized that this was no ordinary unexpected turn of events during a training exercise.

There might really be something there that's beyond everyone's comprehension!

At this moment, whether it's the Red Army or the Blue Army, the outcome of the exercise is no longer important.

Because of the nature of this practical exercise, both sides are eager to figure out what the "time portal" is before anyone else does!

Fifteen minutes later...

The first to arrive, Brigade Commander Man and his command staff looked at the time portal in the darkness with expressions of shock.

A relatively young-looking lieutenant colonel also looked at the time portal, frowning deeply.

Thinking about the news the soldier had just reported, he took a few steps forward.

"Dimensional portal"

"Built by the Metaverse Pioneer Machine, capable of connecting two worlds."

A message entered his mind in an unknown way, causing his expression to change drastically: "Brigadier, I've received a message from a time portal in my mind."

When Commander Man tried to approach, several soldiers blocked his way.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, you can't go now! We don't know if that thing can interfere with consciousness or thought processes, and we're not sure if it's safe there!"

Commander Man gritted his teeth, looking at the hazy scenery on the other side of the time portal, and stood there unwillingly.

The lieutenant colonel who conducted the experiment on himself was immediately isolated from everyone else!

Before long, Brigade Commander Fu from the Red Army, who was further away, also arrived.

He stared at the colorful white portal embedded inside the "urban warfare building" constructed by the military, and gasped for breath.

Commander Fu lit a cigarette and handed it to his comrade: "Old classmate, this is definitely not a door that current human technology could create!"

Commander Man nodded, looking solemnly at the portal.

The portal appeared in an eerie location, seamlessly integrating into the interior of the simulated urban warfare building. Distorted, multicolored light faintly revealed the reinforced concrete pillars supporting the building.

The entire portal seemed to belong to a different world, yet it stood there nonetheless.

People who stay here and gaze intently at the portal can vaguely see the hazy snowfield and forest scenery on the other side of the portal.

"I just heard from the soldiers that this door will open in 72 hours, and the two worlds will be connected!"

"Huh?! Communication after 72 hours? How did you know?" Commander Man's face showed surprise.

Deputy Brigade Commander He, who had come with Brigade Commander Fu, rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Brigade Commander Man, "Brigade Commander Man, when we came here, I heard the soldiers say that they saw a strange person nearby."

"Did you notice?"
