Lin Feng was not making this up. The man he had possessed really did carry a photograph on him, and the woman in it had a radiant smile.
Lin Feng guessed she was probably his fiancée or someone like that.
"Oh, my God, then you have to make it back alive. Are you planning to get married after the war?"
"After the war? Heh, I don't even know if I'll live to see it end."
"Don't worry. We'll definitely make it."
Conrad patted Lin Feng on the shoulder as he spoke.
Lin Feng smiled back.
He could leave this hellhole in another fourteen hours. Everything he was saying now was just an act.
However, the bunker Lin Feng was in was still extremely dangerous. After all, it was exposed, making it a major target for the fleet and the bombers.
Earlier, the Allied Forces' bombers had braved the web of antiaircraft fire to bomb the Third Reich's positions. To be honest, their casualties had been very heavy too.
So there was no telling when they would organize a second low-altitude bombing run like that.
"It's actually pretty nice here. Look, a wide field of view, plenty of space, and most importantly, it's incredibly sturdy. Even five-hundred-millimeter naval guns couldn't punch through it. It'd just feel like an earthquake."
Conrad made Lin Feng a cup of coffee, then dropped two sugar cubes into his cup.
"Perk yourself up. We might not get any rest tonight. According to reliable intelligence, the Allied Forces will organize a night assault."
"Cheers!"
Standing behind the firing port and watching the coastline, Lin Feng sighed. He probably would not be able to complete this mission.
He needed to kill five hundred people, but he had probably only killed a hundred or so.
Although he could still give it a try, Lin Feng valued his own life more than the system's reward.
So he did not want to tempt fate at the firing port again.
He touched his cheek. The bandage was already soaked with sweat.
This would not do. If the wound became infected, things could get even more troublesome.
Soon, Lin Feng had replaced his bandage.
Boom!!
Just then, another round of bombing by the Allied Forces began.
Lin Feng was instantly knocked to the ground by the shock, but fortunately, the naval shell had not penetrated the bunker.
"Fuck!"
Lin Feng cursed angrily, then scrambled awkwardly up from the floor. In less than twenty hours, he had come to understand how insignificant humans were in war. One careless moment really could get you blown to pieces.
The Allied Forces' advance was still firmly pinned down along the coastline. Faced with the impregnable bunker positions, they were close to despair...
Ten hours later, Lin Feng slowly stood up.
"It's finally almost time."
"Time for what?"
Conrad, who was sitting beside Lin Feng, asked.
"Nothing. By the way, you're not really an imperial soldier, are you?"
"W-what do you mean?"
Conrad spoke nervously. He could not believe that his excellent disguise had been seen through.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're Jew-"
Lin Feng did not finish, because Conrad's expression was enough to prove his guess correct.
In truth, Lin Feng meant nothing else by it.
He was simply indulging his own twisted sense of humor.
"You!"
Conrad shot to his feet in agitation. Just as he was about to say something, Lin Feng felt a white light envelop him.
The next moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.
[Ding-dong! Floor concluded. Congratulations, survivor. You have fully completed the mission. Rating: A. Reward: vacation time +10 days.]
Although the elevator's announcement was still cold, Lin Feng found it incredibly comforting. He could not stand another second in that lousy place, Normandy.
His military uniform had also been replaced with his previous clothes.
However, the bandage and wound on his face were still there.
He was filthy all over too.
"Beep! Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Skill reward: Eagle Eye."
"Holy shit? That counted as completing the mission?"
"Beep. A reminder for the host: enemies killed by your subordinates also count toward your total."
"You should've said so earlier! Then I wouldn't have nearly met the King of Hell."
Lin Feng spoke, at a loss for words, then touched the wound on his face again.
"Hiss..."
That fucking hurt.
But there was no need to be afraid now. Eagle Eye was also an incredibly powerful ability. Its description said it could magnify things sixteen times, and the magnification could be adjusted automatically.
In other words, Lin Feng now had a built-in sixteen-power scope. Yet he had nearly risked his life only to receive this reward, along with a ten-day extension to some vacation time he did not understand.
What the hell did this vacation time mean, anyway??
"Raaawr!!!"
While Lin Feng was puzzling over it, Little Velociraptor stared blankly for a moment at his sudden appearance, then hurried over and kept pawing at him with his claws.
Little Velociraptor was now half Lin Feng's height. If he rammed into Lin Feng again, he could probably knock him right over.
"All right, all right. Are you hungry? I'll find you something to eat."
Lin Feng stroked Little Velociraptor's head, then opened the Leather Backpack and found some meat inside.
"Eat up."
"Rawr~"
Little Velociraptor gave a cheerful cry, then launched a fierce assault on the feast before him.
"Right, let's see if I traded for any materials to upgrade the elevator."
Lin Feng went over to the screen, only to discover that Qin An had sent him several messages.
Qin An: [My dear son, your old man's back. How are things on your end? Still alive?]
Qin An: [Damn, so you're not replying to my messages instantly anymore, huh?]
Qin An: [Seriously, it's been a whole fucking hour. What's your deal?!]
Qin An: [Lin Feng? Lin Feng! You didn't actually fucking croak, did you?]
Qin An: [Fuck, why'd you leave so soon?? Wait for me. I'll come find you down below and keep being your dad.]
That was Qin An's last message. Lin Feng was startled when he saw it. Had this idiot really thought he was dead and gone off to kill himself too??
Lin Feng: [I'm not dead!]
Qin An: [Holy shit, you scared your daddy to death, you know that? Anyway, where'd you go? Were you hurt and unconscious?]
Seeing Qin An reply instantly, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then recounted his experience. To his surprise, Qin An seemed very excited, which left Lin Feng puzzled.
If Lin Feng had known what Qin An used to do, he probably would not have thought that.
After chatting with Qin An for a while, Lin Feng discovered that Ye Hua had also sent him a message saying the salt refining was complete.
After opening the Exchange, Lin Feng discovered that all the supplies he had listed had been traded.
In other words, Lin Feng could now upgrade the elevator.
After taking out the salt and the materials needed for the elevator upgrade, he clicked to upgrade the elevator.
The elevator instantly reached level eight, but nothing seemed to change. Just as Lin Feng was wondering about it, the elevator's announcement sounded.
[Survivor Lin Feng's elevator has been detected at level eight. Vacation granted: 5 days.]
"Vacation?"
