Chapter 113 Return and Mechanism

For a moment, Luka stared, his whole body was as nervous as a stone, and his heart sank as if it was filled with cold lead.

The scene of his comrades dying on the battlefield in the air raid shelter seemed to reappear before his eyes.

After reacting.

Luka immediately pressed Gu Ji's shoulders, gritted his teeth and whispered.

"Herman, don't do anything. Don't sacrifice yourself here in vain. Follow them first. I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"

Gu Ji said nothing.

Looking at Leer lying on the ground with his eyes open and angry and dying;

He no longer knew what to say, so he allowed the SS soldiers to grab his arm and disarm him.

Göring, Labor Inspector General, SS...

Gu Ji vaguely remembered something.

Although countries have long agreed not to use chemical weapons in the Hague Convention, during World War II, no military experts could guarantee that new conflicts between major powers would not involve the use of chemical weapons.

Therefore, the Hans Kingdom must secretly store a large amount of poison gas in case of emergency. This amount is calculated in thousands of tons.

It may be difficult to achieve this by relying on military factories alone.

After all, the environmental requirements for storing poisonous gas are very strict, and the cost of daily inspections and safety maintenance is also a large amount. It would be much more reasonable if civilian chemical plants were used to share the storage.

Even if it is not used in the end, chlorine, a necessary chemical raw material, will not be wasted.

This can also explain why Göring was willing to take risks to store huge amounts of liquefied chlorine, and why a businessman was able to get involved with the Labor Inspector General and the SS.

But in fact.

In 1943, starting from Black May, the country of Hans turned from prosperity to decline. Allied air raids caused a devastating blow to Hans industry. The empire was already dominated by foreign powers and internal cadres. The economy began to decline and the people's living standards declined.

However, the production base has not yet awakened from the illusion of crazy expansion. Göring mistakenly believed that this was the "off season" and reduced employees, using a large number of illegal workers and forced labor to serve as the main force of production, in order to reduce expenditures.

It is these forced laborers who lack professional and formal training that are almost useless before a major accident occurs.

Goering himself also ignored factory safety production.

The moment this idea came into Gu Ji's mind.

Buzz——!

A shrill air-raid siren sounded over Ludwigshafen, and in an instant, several giant black figures appeared in the night sky, twinkling under the stars and the moonlight.

It's the Eagle bomber group!

"Run!!"

Redland's face changed drastically and he fled into the car like a mole. The labor inspector and the military police were even more frightened.

Only soldiers like Gu Ji, Luca, and Eugen who had experienced real battlefields could still remain calm.

He glanced at Leer again, lying in a pool of blood.

If he had known that he was guarding such a group of garbage, would he have hesitated and risked his life to close the valve in the basement...

It can be said.

It was the madness of war, military and political corruption, the dark corporate environment, and the lack of management by those in charge that led to the tragic explosion at the BASF factory!

[Hidden goal: Finding the truth behind the accident was successful!]

[Level statistics in progress...]

Suddenly, the world in front of Gu Ji gradually became covered with a thick yellow-green fog that resembled chlorine gas.

Along with a sad flute sound, the unique text of the game system appeared in front of my eyes as expected.

[Ultimate goal: solve the BASF factory accident disaster (successful)]★★★

[Awarded meritorious services: Sergeant rank, Iron Cross 2nd Class]☆☆

[Number of civilians rescued: 89]☆

[Hidden goal: Find the truth about the accident (completed)]☆☆☆

[Consumption of red hearts: 1]☆

【Historical polarization degree: 1.001】☆

[The settlement is as follows: a total of ★★★★☆☆☆ was obtained; evaluation: perfect!]

Just as the game was counting rewards, Gu Ji was attracted by several new options that appeared this time.

"I didn't expect merit and honor to be counted as points..."

He muttered something silently in his mind.

The strange thing is that he can't muster the motivation to strive for more meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

Leer's death made him understand the cruelty of war.

The real pain is not blood;

But faith collapses.

[Historical Polarization Degree]: The historical influence caused by the player character in the level. The greater the polarization degree, the higher the points, and there is no upper limit.

After Gu Ji read the system explanation, his eyelids twitched.

historical influence;

There is no upper limit...

If he were to become a general like Mellon, turn the tide and stop the factory explosion, and also forcefully acquire BASF, I wonder if he would be able to get a hundred stars.

But if you think about it carefully, this is simply impossible.

In his second life, Gu Ji relied on the information accumulated in the previous round and couldn't even save two Tiger tanks. How could he be able to become a general?

The entire classic level seems like "fate".

No matter what he does, there may be deviations in the process, but the result is always the same. Those who die in the first round before grabbing the plane in the air raid shelter will still die in the second round.

【You have gained 23 crisis points!】

[You have obtained the blue mark treasure chest lv2 (level limited), the white item treasure chest lv1 (level limited)*2! 】

The reward statistics are over, and the yellow-green fog disperses.

A blue ocean appeared in front of Gu Ji's eyes. The camera kept zooming in and out, focusing on the shore of an island. The battleship's gunfire never stopped.

On the urban battlefield, the Tiger tanks of the Hans Army were still fighting against the Fog Eagle coalition. In the flash of artillery fire and bullets, he vaguely saw the excited Leer driving the tank and Eugen manically manipulating the machine gun.

And "himself" is turning the turret.

Pilot Felix, funny bearded chief of staff, deputy mayor Otto, chemical defense captain Franz...

The images of every teammate who had fought alongside him flashed by one by one.

finally.

The scene was fixed on the streets of Ludwigshafen. Gu Ji once again returned to the first perspective of "Herman". Luca beside him raised his head, and "Herman" looked in the direction of his perspective.

I saw several black dots falling from the sky.

It's an incendiary bomb.

At that moment, the Iron Cross medal on his collar was swaying in the wind.

Gu Ji wanted to escape with Luca, but now he could no longer control "his" body and could only watch the world fall into darkness...

Rumble——!

【War brings out the worst in us;】

[In 1943, the industrial system of Hansi was destroyed, factory accidents occurred frequently, forced labor abuses became common, and production declined;]

[In December 1970, Eagle Country promulgated the Occupational Safety and Health Law, setting off a climax of safety legislation;]

[Life first, safety first;]

【Congratulations on passing the level!】

The last line of text disappeared, and Gu Ji began to feel a familiar body touch.

He opened his eyes suddenly, breathing heavily, but the decaying streets of Ludwigshafen were no longer in front of him. Instead, he was lying on the bed of a rental house in Ningzhou.

At the last moment before the screen went black, Gu Ji seemed to hear an explosion.

He stood up and sat on the bed, turning his head to look at the sunshine pouring in from the window. Everything seemed like a dream.

"I wonder if classic levels can reflect reality like modern levels..."

Gu Ji had also seen a lot of time travel works. Out of curiosity, he took out his mobile phone and searched for the keyword "BASF factory explosion in 1943".

According to the historical accident experience that comes with the "Accident Emergency Response" skill, he did not remember that BASF had such a major explosion accident in 1943.

as expected.
