If Vladislav makes any move, a shot will be fired, and his gaming career will be over.
A complex and heavy mood permeated the air, as if even the wind had stopped.
Qin Zian's shadow stretched long in the dim sunlight. Although his steps were slow, they revealed an undeniable determination and composure.
In his eyes, besides the joy of victory, there was a profound understanding of the impermanence of life and respect for his opponent.
"Surrender, Mr. Vladislav."
Qin Zian's words echoed like the morning bell and evening drum on the silent battlefield, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tenderness and sorrow.
Qin Zian's voice contained a remembrance of past battles and a deep longing for peace.
Although the battle just now was brutal, the light and darkness in people's hearts are far more complex than the smoke of gunpowder on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, Vladislav's body trembled slightly, as if struck by an invisible force.
He remained silent for a long time, countless images flashing through his eyes—those moments of fighting side by side, those moments of sacrificing everything for their beliefs, and now, the helplessness and resentment in the face of defeat.
Although these moments combined lasted less than a day, they were enough for Vladislav to experience the brutality of war and feel the most realistic and thrilling battlefield.
In the end, Vladislav gave a bitter smile, a helpless acceptance of fate and an acknowledgment of his opponent's strength.
"Director Qin, you... did a great job."
Vladislav's words were both an admission of defeat and a heartfelt expression of admiration.
Following closely behind, Vladislav slowly raised his arm and gave Qin Zian a military salute.
This standard military salute contains so much emotion and story in Vladislav.
At this moment, he was no longer the main person in charge of the 'Summer Friendship Carnival', but had truly become the commander of a battle... a commander who suffered a crushing defeat.
Just when everyone thought everything was settled, Vladislav did something shocking.
Vladislav slowly raised the replica firearm in his hand and pointed it at his own head.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's heartbeats quickened.
With a bang, the gunshot rang out like a sharp blade tearing through the silence, and a huge cloud of smoke instantly engulfed Vladislav.
The game ended with the Dragon Kingdom faction achieving an overwhelming victory.
As the smoke cleared, Vladislav stumbled to his feet, still reeling from his defeat.
Because Vladislav was the main person in charge of the 'Summer Friendship Carnival', the staff did not immediately ask him to leave the battlefield.
At this moment, Vladislav was also beginning to recover from his enormous defeat.
Although Vladislav staggered, there was a sense of relief in his eyes, while the dust on his body was a testament to the ferocity and resilience of the battle.
"Mr. Vladislav, are you alright?"
Qin Zian strode forward, his concern evident in his words.
Although Vladislav's Ural camp failed, his courage in taking his own life deserves Qin Zi'an's utmost respect and care.
Vladislav shook his head, a bitter smile tinged with relief: "I'm fine, it's just... this game made me rediscover myself, and also rediscover the cruelty of applause."
“True victory lies not in the outcome of battles, but in whether we can maintain our beliefs and keep moving forward after defeat.” Vladislav patted Qin Zi’an on the shoulder and continued, “Director Qin, you are truly a remarkable person.”
In response to Vladislav's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Qin Zian simply smiled slightly.
Ultimately, it's just a live-action shooting game.
Qin Zian's ability to lead the Dragon Kingdom to victory was not only due to his own strength, but more importantly, to the teamwork between them.
Without the flanking squad's encirclement, without the correct command route, and without the soldiers' united spirit, Qin Zi'an would not have been able to win this round.
Therefore, Qin Zian looked at his comrades behind him, his eyes filled with pride.
“Mr. Vladislav, your team is equally excellent. Our victory this time was largely due to the hard work and teamwork of our team.”
Upon hearing Qin Zi'an's praise, the smiles on the faces of the tourists from China became even brighter.
They all gathered around, applauding and cheering for the exciting match.
Who would have thought that they simply wanted to experience the popular activities in the Ural Kingdom's activity area of the 'Summer Friendship Carnival', but instead encountered two important figures, Qin Zi'an and Vladislav, on an outing.
They even joined the two big shots in an immersive and exhilarating simulated shooting game.
Anyone could brag about something like this for a lifetime.
As the cheers from the crowd gradually subsided, Qin Zian and Vladislav stood in the center of the simulated shooting range.
Their eyes reflected both the joy of the 'AK Extreme Experience Zone' project's success and a deep respect for each other.
The tourists around were excited about participating in this unexpected battle. Some of them held cameras to record this unforgettable moment, while others were still savoring the tense and exciting atmosphere of the game and discussing their performance and tactics.
“Director Qin, I deeply admire your humility and team spirit.” Vladislav spoke again, his tone full of sincerity. “In this era of globalization, it is truly rare to meet someone as capable and cooperative as you. I believe that you can lead your team to go further, whether on the battlefield or in the cultural tourism industry.”
Qin Zian's smile grew even warmer upon hearing this. "Mr. Vladislav, you flatter me. In my opinion, true strength lies not only in the strength of an individual, but also in the ability to unite a team and face challenges together."
Qin Zian and Vladislav were having a lively conversation when a young woman wearing a 'Summer Friendship Carnival' uniform walked towards them.
Meanwhile, the woman was holding two specially made commemorative medals, which were engraved with the words "AK Extreme Experience Zone" and the symbols of both sides.
