'How did she manage to deliver such a hilariously absurd declaration with a straight face?'
'Báigōng: If I had known the rescue would be this embarrassing, I should have just rotted away there, decomposed, and stunk!'
'Stop talking, stop talking, I've worn through the blanket from all this cringing!'
'Masaka!!'
...
Mò Zhī, unfazed by any of this, went all out once she got into her zone.
"They're going to level this city in two minutes, we have to get to the rooftop to stop them."
The new chapter's mission began. Due to the EMP, satellite signals vanished, and the classic opening dialogue was absent.
In its place was the booming voice of the welfare-themed humanoid robot.
Mò Zhī immediately drew her gun and charged!
"Hurry, hurry! Only 90 seconds left!"
Rat-tat-tat—
The assault rifle spewed crimson fire, ruthlessly burning through enemy lives.
Alas, there were many guards within Báigōng.
The ambush positions and angles were as tricky as ever!
The saying "one shot, one kill; two shots, one pant; three shots, see the famous quote" seemed to be ineffective here.
The enemies were like they had berserk buffs; what used to take two shots to kill now required three.
Their bullets were even more enchanted, needing "one shot, one pant; two shots, see the famous quote!"
The roles had reversed!
Mò Zhī's mind suddenly recalled the classic line from the little mage:
"If our roles were reversed, I'd show you what cruelty is."
At this moment,
She truly understood what cruelty meant.
But,
Would she surrender just like that?
No, absolutely not!
Báigōng was still waiting for me, Huá Shèng Shield was still waiting for me, and all the people of M were waiting for me to save them!
I cannot fall here!
Mò Zhī's determination reached its peak.
As if divinely aided by Sīns, Mò Zhī calmed down and continuously honed her skills, awareness, and willpower!
I'm back.
Mò Zhī felt it. It was all back!
The tenacious Mò Zhī from the night of the final battle with Sīns had returned.
Now, sporting cat ears, Mò Zhī was like a battle goddess!
Simply put, the Cat-Ear Battle Goddess!
"Thirty seconds left!"
The welfare sergeant's humanoid reporting machine kept counting down the seconds.
He took the lead, pulling the pin on a green smoke grenade and strapping it to himself, charging forward bravely.
Mò Zhī, not to be outdone, precisely controlled her spray to pick off enemies ambushing the entrance.
After clearing the grunts, she and her teammates quickly secured the rooftop, energetically waving the signal decoy flares that symbolized the termination symbol!
"Termination signal from Báigōng detected, mission terminated!"
"Bombing mission terminated, returning to base."
"Báigōng, you've been stopped!"
The pilot's voice carried a sense of relieved liberation.
The war arc thus concluded.
"Wow!"
"We beat the game!!"
Mò Zhī took off her headset and jumped up excitedly, her large white bunny ears jiggling restlessly.
Worries were in vain!
This time, the old thief was just passing by!
She had expected the first mission to be exceptionally difficult, but it turned out to be much easier than fighting Sīns.
It was merely a swap of defensive and offensive capabilities.
However, with her super willpower, Mò Zhī overcame all obstacles, successfully saved Báigōng, and perfectly completed the mission.
'Yes, keep jumping, harder!'
'Didn't expect to see content from the dance zone in the gaming zone, double the happiness.'
'Mò Zhī is unusually energetic tonight, playing for over two hours without any sign of fatigue.'
'We... might have celebrated a bit too early, the game seems to be continuing.'
...
A keen-eyed netizen noticed that after the mission completion, there was no end credits.
Instead, the familiar satellite projection screen lit up.
"Everyone, this has been the most challenging week in history, our losses are immeasurable, but we will fight to the very end."
Sheffield's deep voice pulled Mò Zhī, who was in mid-celebration, back to reality.
"What's going on?"
Mò Zhī sat back down at her computer, put on her headset, and asked confusedly, "Isn't it over?"
Sheffield's reply was: No!
Makarov, the culprit, was still at large, this architect of tragedy had not yet been punished.
So that's how it is.
Mò Zhī suddenly realized; she had almost forgotten about Makarov.
Sheffield, possessing the highest authority, brought up two satellite signal coordinates.
"These two locations are the only remaining hideouts for these scoundrels in this world."
"If we can expose their true faces, we will rewrite history."
Price interjected, "It looks like we have to assault both locations simultaneously."
"Can't we do it?"
Price confidently replied, "Task Force 141 can do anything!"
Ghost also chimed in, "The chances of taking down Makarov at both locations are fifty-fifty, right?"
"Captain Price, please let me and Xiao Qiang assault the safe house."
At this moment, an unfamiliar BGM played, but Mò Zhī didn't notice this detail.
Her heart was full of emotion.
Where there are people, there is the martial world.
Within the small circle of Task Force 141, any teammate on the battlefield is a brother you can trust with your back.
But the relationships between everyone had subtle differences.
Price was clearly more familiar with Old Mac, and he had only told Old Mac about the nuclear bomb incident.
The meticulous Ghost was more attentive to the junior member of the team, Xiao Qiang.
When it came to team missions, he would consider teaming up with Xiao Qiang first.
Mò Zhī also preferred to team up with Ghost, the mobile spotter, for missions, feeling completely secure.
"Permission granted. Soap and I will return to Anya's abandoned site."
"Excellent. I will cut off Makarov's retreat, and the war will soon be over."
Sheffield's question was unnecessary; Mò Zhī's internet mouthpiece, Price, asked, "Strange, I thought the war ended yesterday."
"Yeah, yeah, I also thought the game was cleared once the Báigōng guards were handled."
Mò Zhī, with a naive and sweet expression, exclaimed, "But this is good too, it makes the Task Force 141 matters clearer and more complete."
"It's a perfect opportunity to bring the source of evil, Makarov, to justice."
Then she uttered the words she would regret most in her life: "I f***ing love this level!"
The theme of this mission was profound – the end of the end.
Task Force 141 mobilized its entire force. Ghost, Xiao Qiang, Zero, Scarecrow, Sharpshooter, Ousang, Toad... these were all names she frequently saw during her missions.
Sharpshooter: "Snipers in position."
Ghost: "Assault team, move out. Open fire immediately upon spotting Makarov."
"Roger!"
"Affirmative!"

The voices of teammates continuously came through the radio, everything proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Truly professionals, their high military discipline and long-honed默契 were something ordinary stragglers couldn't match.
Mò Zhī followed behind Ghost.
They moved like ghosts through the jungle, converging towards the target point.
Beep beep beep beep!!
A series of urgent alarm sounds, like the grim reaper's scythe, suddenly rang out, accompanied by a "boom."
A teammate met his end before any engagement had even begun.
"Ambush!!"
