[Chapter 71 Eva]

After helping the blonde up, Laura reminded her, “You may need to tidy up your clothes.” She turned to look at David and Mark, “Be a gentleman, gentlemen.”

David and Mark could only turn around and lower their voices to start the awkward chat mode.

“The clouds are so round today!”

“Yes, yes!” It

was not until Laura coughed and reminded them that it was okay that the two men turned back and looked at the new woman together.

It was a tight blue military uniform, not to say slim, but a white shirt underneath, but the collar buttons were not buttoned, plus the miniskirt, it didn’t look like a formal military uniform at all.

However, the blonde had a good physique, which was in line with the identity of a soldier. When standing next to Laura, Laura made her look even more petite.

“Hello, this is Winter Village, this is the village chief David.” After Laura reminded the other party that it was safe, the blonde woman also checked the situation around. At this time, she also noticed that she had come to an unfamiliar place in a daze. She couldn’t understand how she ran to the wilderness, but Laura’s accent made her feel very friendly and relaxed a little.

“Where is Winter Village?” The British English with a clear accent surprised Laura and also made her feel more friendly: “How did I get here?”

Laura explained the situation to the woman in front of her. When she heard that she had actually arrived in another world, the woman fell into a petrified state and looked a little silly. It took more than a minute for her to react that she had indeed escaped the crisis and realized that she had to introduce herself.

“Hello, my name is Eva McKenna.” Eva’s face was full of disbelief, mixed with the joy of surviving a disaster: “Have I really arrived in another world? This is not an illusion, right? Or am I dreaming?”

“If you don’t believe it, you can use the method I just told you to test it, and you can return to your original world.” Eva’s reaction was not surprising. Most people would find it unbelievable when they first came to Winter Village, but after a few trips, they would basically have no doubts.

This has almost become a fixed process for Winter Village to welcome newcomers and explain the situation to newcomers.

But this time it was a little different. Eva didn’t show any joy when she heard that she could go back. Instead, her face was full of fear: “Oh, no, I don’t want to go back. If this is really another world, maybe this is the new life God has given me.”

“Have you encountered any trouble?”

“Trouble? This trouble is probably not just for me… It’s a huge trouble for the whole world.” When Eva said these words, she looked sad and lost: “The Allies failed, our old opponents also failed, and the Empire of the Rising Sun won…”

“Uh…” Listening to Eva’s words, Mark, who had been trying to recall and judge which world this Eva came from, finally caught the key information and whispered to David next to him: “This… Isn’t it that world you are talking about?”

“You also know that game?”

“I’ve heard people talk about it.” Mark glanced at David. David’s reply meant that he had already recognized who the woman in front of him was, but he just didn’t show it before.

Mark’s reply made David understand why Mark knew that game but didn’t recognize the person in front of him. It seems that Mark has never played it, but only got some information from his friends.

He sighed again that these top scientists are all cheaters. They can even remember such fragmentary memories. They are not the same species as ordinary people. After sighing, he began to analyze what Eva revealed.

The Allies and their old rivals failed, and the Empire of the Rising Sun won, which means that this world line from the Empire of the Rising Sun won the final victory. The game has three different endings depending on the player’s choice of camp, which also means that there are at least three timelines.

If you consider the various plot world lines listed by Westwood Studios, there will be more. The background of the game produced by that studio is the various events generated in different timelines.

“Red Alert 3…” This Lieutenant Eva, in the plot of Red Alert 3, assists the commander (player) to complete various battles as a liaison officer.

Just when David was thinking about what kind of rewards a character from the Red Alert world could bring to him, Laura had already explained the situation to Eva. After Eva-Mckenna recovered a little from the loss of the whole world, all that was left was the joy of surviving the disaster.

Her home was gone. If she didn’t want to be caught by the Empire of the Rising Sun and be shot at in various ways, it would be better for her to stay in this seemingly backward and remote village. The Empire of the Rising Sun couldn’t possibly travel here, right?

“Hello, I’m Eva McKenna. Although it’s abrupt, I still hope that Your Excellency can let me stay in the village.” Eva tried to squeeze out a nice smile: “Although I’m just a civilian officer, I’ve received military training and I’m strong enough to accept various jobs.”

“I welcome people from any world to choose to settle in my village. I’m the village chief David. Welcome to Winter Village.” He stretched out his hand and shook Eva gently to express his welcome. Lieutenant Eva in front of him should be the person who decided to settle in the village the fastest since the aliens came to him. What

surprised David the most was that when he expressed his welcome, he had a feeling that the reward had arrived.

“This… is it a free reward?”

Just agreeing to let the other party stay in the village and immediately giving the reward, it was not as comfortable as staying in a hotel, and David even liked Eva a lot.

“Next, you can look around the village, get familiar with the environment, and choose a place you like to build a wooden house… Oh, you can ask the villagers to help you build this house, you don’t have to build it yourself.” David looked at Laura, and Laura nodded to him: “Before your own house is built, you can live in Laura’s wooden house first.”

Laura can go to his place or go back to her own Crawford Manor directly, without worrying about having no place to rest.

“I’ll take you to my wooden house first, and help you find a set of clothes.” Laura greeted Eva, and was very enthusiastic about this “fellow from another world”. Perhaps Peggy, who also came from England, would welcome Eva: “Then I will introduce you to other partners.”

The work of explaining the situation in the village to Eva and showing Eva around was given to Laura. It was not that David was lazy, but that Eva had just suffered a disaster before coming here. In this case, Laura, a woman who spoke the same language and looked friendly and non-intimidating (?), was more suitable for these communication tasks.

After Eva and Mark introduced themselves to each other, they followed Laura to the cabin. David stood there in a daze for a while, then waved to Mark, signaling him to follow him.

“What?”

“Remember when you first came here, you found wild potatoes near my cabin?” David just felt it briefly and recalled the personal information of this liaison officer.

As a liaison officer responsible for connecting with the “players”, David couldn’t think of any special talents of this person. If the scope was expanded to the entire Red Alert world, he could think of many special things.

David was not sure if his idea was right, but without any prompts or panels, he could only use the method of elimination to determine what reward he had received this time.

“So, do you think that Eva’s arrival will cause something special to grow near your cabin?” Mark was the top scientist on Earth, and his IQ was beyond doubt. He understood David’s meaning without having to explain in detail: “What will happen? It’s not like a base vehicle will appear out of nowhere, right?”

“That would be great, but I think the possibility is very low.” The few of them had just stayed not far from their cabin. They only needed to walk around the cabin half a circle to reach the back of the cabin.

David was going to take a closer look at this seemingly ordinary piece of ground, especially the area where potatoes had grown. As a result, he found that he didn’t have to work so hard at all.

“Gift crab! There really is something?”

Mark and David made the same choice. They both looked at that area at the first time. As a result, after turning around, they only took a glance and saw the crystal that broke out of the ground and was slowly growing.

When they first saw it, it was only the size of a finger, and then it slowly grew to the size of a fist. Then another one drilled out from the side. The two crystals were pink and blue-purple respectively. The pink one slowly expanded, and the blue-purple one maintained a slender cone shape.

The pink crystal stopped growing after it grew to the size of a cantaloupe, and the blue-purple crystal only grew to about ten centimeters and then stopped growing.

“What is this? A mine from the Red Alert world?” Mark looked at the crystal in front of him, and then looked at David next to him. He thought David should know what this was. He was far less familiar with Red Alert than David, after all, he did not recognize the female liaison officer Eva at the first time.

“Maybe…”

David was not sure either. He just tried to see, but he did not expect Lieutenant Eva to really give him a mine as a reward.

This thing should not be Tiberium ore, right? That thing is radioactive. If it is really Tiberium ore, will everyone in the village be doomed?

“Mark.”

“What?”

“Do you have an instrument that can detect radiation?”

“…” Mark felt bad after hearing David’s question. Not only did he lean back, he also took a big step back. Then he felt unsafe and took two more steps back: “Does this thing have radiation?”

“Considering that Eva is from the Red Alert world, maybe not… but the prototype of this thing has radiation, so just to be on the safe side.”

“Got it!”
