Chapter 117: Chapter 103: 【Siege of Leningrad】Survival Challenge (4k)_2

Only after stepping outside did he realize it was already evening again....

Huang Hao couldn’t help but twitch his mouth; wasn’t it already evening when he came yesterday?

The time you sleep in the game seems to be even longer than in reality.

Following the direction he came from yesterday, he quickly saw the soldiers digging trenches, while the women and children inside the trenches looked at him with smiles.

Seeing this, Huang Hao felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat:

"Where’s the captain of the village?"

A soldier below said:

"Sir, they are still patrolling over there, should I go call them?"

Huang Hao glanced in the direction the soldier was pointing and said:

"I’ll go myself."

Abruptly, he stopped and turned back to ask:

"Um... how long did I sleep?"

The soldier showed a strange expression and said:

"After that glass of vodka, you slept for about 24 hours."

As soon as the words fell, the women and children around couldn’t hold back their laughter.

Huang Hao’s face turned red, and he fled in embarrassment.

He soon found the militia captain patrolling in the west. Upon seeing Huang Hao coming over, the captain looked apologetic:

"Sorry, I didn’t know you...."

Huang Hao quickly raised his hand:

"It’s alright, maybe I was just too tired."

"So... you understand."

"I need to get going, can’t delay too long."

The militia captain nodded in understanding and then said with a smile:

"I’ve prepared food and everything for you all."

"But since the soldiers have been digging all day, why not rest for another night?"

Seeing this, Huang Hao turned around and looked at the trenches, thinking for a moment before reluctantly saying:

"Alright."

The main reason is that after sleeping for a day, he was full of energy, and those who had been digging trenches all day couldn’t possibly travel overnight without proper rest.

Upon hearing Huang Hao’s words, the militia captain smiled and said:

"Let’s go, I’ll call them."

"Since we are leaving tomorrow, we should rest well tonight."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the militia captain, Huang Hao couldn’t help but admire the people of the Soviet Union for their attitude towards the military, it’s truly admirable.

Following behind the militia captain, Huang Hao looked at those trenches and said:

"Relying solely on these trenches to resist the Empire is still impossible."

"Better find a time to leave with your people."

"Camouflage these trenches; taking out an Imperial Tank is a gain."

Huang Hao sincerely suggested to the militia captain.

The militia captain chuckled and said:

"We were born here, grew up here, and will die here."

"Generations of us have been here."

"Why should we leave because the Empire people are coming?"

"And if we leave, what about Moscow behind us?"

"Even though we can’t provide much help."

"I still have the awareness of a ’Party Member’, even if I die here, I must let those Empire folks see some colors."

"Moreover, we aren’t fighting alone."

"Do you see these trenches?"

The militia captain’s face showed a hint of pride as he spoke:

"You soldiers fight on the front lines, and we who stay in the rear aren’t doing nothing."

"Thanks to the time you’ve secured for us."

"The villages around these trenches are almost completed."

"Next, the women in our village will support Mozyrsky’s side to help Moscow’s defenders dig the trench defense line."

"I heard they’ve already dug tens of kilometers over there, we also have to speed up, otherwise, we won’t be able to help Motherland."

"A portion of the children will stay with us to resist the Imperial troops."

"We must let the Empire’s beasts know that the Soviet Union will not be subdued!"

The militia captain’s firm words hammered into Huang Hao and the audience’s minds in the live stream.

Huang Hao saw momentary daze before his eyes, as if the person before him wasn’t an NPC, but someone with real emotions who had lived on this land for years.

Otherwise, how could such emotional words be spoken by an NPC?

With a strange and shocking feeling, Huang Hao wanted to upload this conversation but suddenly remembered the event was over. But it didn’t matter.

Huang Hao uploaded this video to Celestial Shark Live, on his personal space.

On this side, he gathered the soldiers called back by the militia captain.

The crowd was brought inside the house by the militia captain, then they started a fire, but this time he didn’t persuade anyone to drink.

Once everyone ate and drank their fill and the soldiers who worked for a day slowly fell asleep.

Huang Hao, who couldn’t sleep, walked out of the house, looking at the women and children still working, he joined the digging team until it was near midnight.

The women and children gradually couldn’t hold on, and today’s excavation came to an end.

Then Huang Hao climbed out, sitting on the edge of the trench, feeling the pain simulated by the Virtual Cabin and the soreness throughout his body.

This kind of labor is tough, and such deep trench digging is even more exhausting.

Can’t imagine how these women and children managed to persist, and they also have to go support Moscow....

After dazing for a bit, Huang Hao shook his head.

Seeing the barrage in the live stream, he then opened the Polestar Official Website and directly found the real-time map.

He put it in the live stream room.

Following what the militia captain mentioned during the day and the exchanges during dinner, Huang Hao quickly found his location and Mozyrsky’s location.

Originally, he didn’t understand what those grey lines on the map were.

But with the militia captain’s explanation, plus there was a long grey line at Mozyrsky, it wasn’t hard to guess these represented trenches.

Such trenches were spread through the villages in front of Moscow.

In front of Moscow, there were three long trenches. Some players roughly calculated just based on the maps, the total length of those three defensive lines.

Currently, it’s over 500 kilometers.

And more is being dug continuously, when the Empire attacks, I’m afraid it’ll be seven to eight hundred kilometers long.

This calculation truly amazed the Blue Star players.

After all, the scene of the village digging trenches was right before their eyes, with only women and children as the men had gone to the front lines. How many people would it take to dig such long trenches?

The cohesion of the Soviet Union manifested once again.

Huang Hao waited here for the next day’s departure.

Meanwhile, on another side.

The Celestial Shark streamer Duan Yu, based in Leningrad, wasn’t as lucky.

Because of dying in the dungeon and restarting after the end, Duan Yu re-entered the game, but even though it was supposed to be the Battle of Moscow, he restarted in Leningrad.

Good news, it wasn’t occupied by the Empire yet, and the Blue Star players didn’t know what the [Siege of Leningrad] meant.

Bad news, the Imperial troops were outside the city, and running wasn’t an option....

An oblivious Duan Yu from Blue Star looked at Leningrad before him.

Seemed like he took the script from the [Battle of Kiev], being besieged, chaos, then brutally killed?

Dammit!

Duan Yu couldn’t help covering his face and howling to the sky; fortunately, it was still the siege phase.

Duan Yu then changed the title of the live stream.

[Leningrad Survival Challenge, 1/100 Days.]

While asking other apprentices in the shop, his consciousness entered the player forum for information.

Now, due to the terrain and environment, the forces here in Leningrad haven’t suffered a strategic collapse like on the Kyiv plain.

On the contrary, based on the terrain, environment, and the city’s defense line, the military and civilians worked together to resist the Empire’s army.

Duan Yu’s current identity was a carpenter’s apprentice, following a master, after briefly understanding his situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to the live stream audience with a smile:

"Brothers, it’s stable this time."

"With an apprentice identity, there’s no worry about food and drink, I just checked the player forum, the Empire has been besieging this place for almost a month yet hasn’t broken in."

"This shows it’s safe here."

"Moreover, there hasn’t been chaos like in Kyiv; there are a lot of troops maintaining order, so looting and rioting rarely occurs."

"This survival challenge should last to 100 days."
