Basically Done
Mai- chan didn't say anything more.
Her chin, wrapped in a scarf, rested on Shuya's shoulder as she quietly gazed at Shuya profile.
... So warm.
Mai- chan felt a sense of peace wash over her, and slowly closed her eyes again.
Shuya slowed his pace in silence, wanting her to sleep more comfortably.
He slowly walked towards the hotel.
Two small footprints were left on the snowy road, only to be quickly covered by falling snow again...
Filming for the Morning Drama is proceeding smoothly.
More than a month has passed; it's already March.
Ishiyama Kenichi, Ichikawa Hidako, Noguchi Isamu, and the child stars all left the stage.
They're all dead, killed by a combination of America air raids and surprise attacks.
Ikeda Ichinosuke escaped with Asagami Miin.
At that time, the America captured Hakodate, successfully landed in Hokkaido, and laid a blockade line, completely cutting off Hokkaido's connection with the Japan Main Island.
Meanwhile, the America besieged Sapporo and then sent out detachments to sweep through Hokkaido.
In the great war that engulfs both the inner and outer worlds, not only are people killed, but gods are also slain (not just gods, but also superhuman beings).
Beyond the open war between ordinary people, it is also a mysterious battle between extraordinary individuals.
The war among the superhumans was just as brutal, and resulted in countless deaths and injuries.
Magic, Alchemy, warriors, Church, and demons joined the army in their invasion of Hokkaido. The native Hokkaido Onmyoji, warriors, Monster, and gods also rose up in resistance, but without support from their homeland, their annihilation was only a matter of time.
At this critical moment, Great Hua, a long-time ally of Japan, deeply understood the principle of mutual dependence and sent its newly built navy to support Japan.
Meanwhile, a special force from the Great China was also dispatched to provide reinforcements.
The Great Wall Special Operations Team, composed of elite warriors.
Due to the importance of this battle, the operation was led by Li Shuhong, the second-generation leader of the Great Wall Special Operations Team and a master known as the "Spear God," who landed in Hokkaido.
They were determined to break through America's numerous blockades, carry out a decapitation strike, and resolve the crisis of Hokkaido's fall.
The epic Battle of Hokkaido has officially begun.
Ikeda Ichinosuke initially had no intention of participating in the war; he simply wanted to safely transport the young lady, Asagami Miin, to the capital, Tokyo.
Although he disliked the government that abolished the status of samurai, he had to admit that, in the midst of war, that was the only safe place in all of Japan.
In Asia at that time, only the capital of the Great Hua, which had accumulated mysterious power over thousands of years, was safer than Tokyo.
However, it was impossible for Ikeda Ichinosuke and Asagami Miin to go that far.
Going to Tokyo is the most realistic option.
Therefore, he needed to cross the chaotic battlefield to reach Sapporo, where the fighting was fierce.
That is Hokkaido's remaining hope.
However, from the North Hokkaido to Sapporo, there were countless American blockades, making this escape route extremely difficult.
Fortunately, Ikeda Ichinosuke was highly skilled and protected Asagami Miin well along the way.
During his journey, he made contact with the Great Wall Special Operations Team led by Li Shuhong.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally got Asagami Miin to a secluded military base, and were about to board a plane to Tokyo.
Li Shuhong and the Japanese side thought their operation was covert, but they had fallen into America trap.
The main force of the America launched a fierce attack.
It had known about this place for a long time and deliberately let important Japanese figures come here to board a plane to Tokyo.
America agents learned from traitors in Dahua that the leader of the Great Hua Great Wall Special Operations Team who infiltrated Hokkaido was none other than Li Shuhong.
Li Shuhong and the Great Wall Special Operations Team have always been the sworn enemies of all countries that oppose Great Hua.
Upon learning of his infiltration, the America and several Europe countries sent personnel to provide support, determined to kill Li Shuhong on this icy land.
By the time Li Shuhong and the Great Wall Special Operations Team realized it was an elaborate trap, it was too late.
Because they have a compelling reason why they cannot back down!
Section 155, page 140: Basically finished.
Because of America conspiracy, the military base where Ikeda Ichinosuke received many important Japanese figures and their families, preparing to send them to Tokyo for refuge.
Now that the America have sent people to block it, they've hit the Great Wall Special Operations Team's Achilles' heel.
The Japan high command has received information from here, and it was precisely because the Great Wall Special Operations Team were providing escort that they agreed to carry out this transport plan.
If these key figures die, coupled with America instigation and domestic traitors causing trouble, this incident could very well become a rift in the relationship between Great Hua and Japan, affecting future cooperation and leading to serious consequences.
Li Shuhong and his colleagues cannot gamble with the fate of the nation.
If we can't escape, then we have no choice but to fight to the death.
Mobility has always been the Great Wall Special Operations Team' greatest weapon; guerrilla warfare and decapitation strikes are their forte.
They have consistently avoided direct confrontation with the America.
But now we're in check.
The Great Wall Special Operations Team led by Li Shuhong was prepared for death and had made arrangements before going abroad, so they didn't panic.
Thus, the Great Wall Special Operations Team, together with the local Hokkaido forces Ikeda Ichinosuke, engaged in a life-or-death battle against the America- out Europe coalition.
"Card!"
After a tense filming process, the final battle scene was completed.
"Hahaha! That move just now was truly amazing, Shuya!"
The one speaking with a hearty laugh was Adno Scher, Ming Dynasty from America.
His role in the series is that of the America commander, who ultimately perishes alongside Ikeda Ichinosuke.
The commander who was able to fight against the Great Wall Special Operations Team was no ordinary person; he was a true Holy Knight of the Church.
He was also a master martial artist whose fame rivaled that of Li Shuhong.
It can tank, deal damage, and heal—it's practically a bug.
But in the end, he was killed by Ikeda Ichinosuke Natural Martial Bone, in a life-for-life exchange.
This move would have been enough to make Ikeda Ichinosuke famous, but Li Shuhong's reputation was too great, and people attributed the victory to him, no matter how he explained it.
Adno walked over and reached out his large hand to Shuya, who was lying on the ground, and helped him up.
Jackie Chan, who was standing nearby, also came over and said in English with a smile, "Your fight just now completely amazed me."
"Ahem, you flatter me. I was actually having a lot of trouble holding it in."
Shuya coughed up blood. "I feel like I have several broken bones."
"Haha! It's just filming, isn't it normal to break a few bones!"
Jackie Chan flashed a hearty smile.
Adno laughed too, "Hahaha, and severe burns are quite common!"
Shuya: "..."
At this point, Shuya, Adno, and Jackie Chan all looked terrible.
His clothes were tattered, and his entire body was covered in bloodstains after special makeup.
However, their weapons remained undamaged.
Because... they're all real, not props.
Shuya's sword, Adno's greatsword, and Jackie Chan's spear are all weapons capable of killing.
Filming such large-scale scenes is quite demanding on the actors.
Shuya and Adno suffered fractures, and in the heat of their final battle, they both lost control.
Jackie Chan was alright; his scenes weren't that intense.
But injuries are inevitable.
Not to mention them, the actors lying all around had suffered real injuries, such as broken bones or fractures, which is not surprising.
These kinds of major battle scenes are very troublesome; if an actor gets injured, they might have to stay in bed for two days to recover.
Fortunately, martial artists have strong recovery abilities.
According to Jackie Chan, when he was filming, he would sometimes invite Strange Arts with healing abilities to help him.
They are skilled at treating external injuries, but that's all they can do. For things like cancer and terminal illnesses, you still have to rely on modern medicine.
Shuya and the other two chatted for a while, and then Aoki Shin and Horiuchi Susumu with a translator, praising the scene they had just witnessed.
Horiuchi Susumu patted his chest and said, "It's definitely going to be a hit."
Shuya thought this was complete nonsense.
With those three in it, even if the show is a complete mess, tons of people will still watch it.
Shuya knew it was just polite talk, so he didn't complain.
"Shuya, are you alright?"
Mai- chan walked over and asked worriedly.
This was the first time she had ever witnessed such a scene.
She had heard about this from her acting teacher, but she never imagined it would be so impactful.
"Not bad. From now on, it's up to you to work hard."
Shuya a bit too immersed in the role, sometimes calling Mai- chan "Miss".
"Okay, don't worry about it, leave it to me."
Mai- chan has grown rapidly after more than two months of training.
Her confident tone made her even more charming.
"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Shige, you've worked hard too."
Mai- chan addressed the two of them in broken English.
Jackie Chan and Adno also quite liked the cute little girl, and immediately smiled and responded with a few words.
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
Director Horiuchi Susumu interrupted them, "You should go to the hospital for a check-up. You should all get some rest."
He was also afraid that something might happen to Jackie Chan and Adno while they were with him.
These two celebrities have a huge number of fans.
If something were to happen here, Horiuchi Susumu felt he might never be able to leave Hokkaido.
Aoki Shin shared the same thought.
They knew something bad was bound to happen during filming today, so they had already arranged for medical personnel.
The crew immediately sent all the injured to the best hospital in Asahikawa.
Shuya, Jackie Chan, and Adno recovered after a day in bed. The others, whose injuries were not serious, were also officially discharged from the hospital on the same day.
Some people still had bandages wrapped around their necks, but none of them were seriously injured.
With this, the Hokkaido scenes in the Morning Drama have all come to an end.
But that doesn't mean the Shuya the end of the matter.
