In the endless yellow sand, Soap and Price embarked on their journey to find Shepherd.
Here, they met Shepherd's trump card: Shadow Company.
Fierce fighting took place in the wilderness and in caves.
But as Price said, there was nothing Task Force 141 couldn't do.
Even if only the two of them were left, they still couldn't be stopped.
Even though the enemy's equipment was extremely good, with powerful combat strength and numbers.
But facing Soap and Price, burning with the fire of revenge, Shadow Company had no way to stop them.
They even forced Shepherd to issue an order.
That was to use indiscriminate artillery fire to bury the two men in this land.
You should know that besides Soap and Price, there were also Shepherd's Shadow Company here.
Obviously, in Shepherd's eyes, all of these were tools, all could be given up.
Fortunately, Soap and Price had hacked into the communications devices of Shepherd's men in advance and obtained this key information, staying put in the cave.
The artillery bombardment not only did not harm the two men, but instead caused heavy losses to Shadow Company.
Chasing Shepherd all the way, they boarded a rubber boat and engaged in a thrilling chase on the rushing river.
Except this time, they were no longer the ones being chased.
Countless enemy troops drove speedboats from behind, trying to stop the two from hunting down Shepherd so he could escape safely.
Soap drove the boat, and Price covered Soap.
Submachine guns, rifles, grenades, and RPGs.
A symphony of gunfire and a fireworks display unfolded on this rushing river.
The speedboats were already fast, and on the rushing river, besides various huge rocks blocking the way, there were also narrow valleys.
Plus the enemy attacks, it could be said that the difficulty was very high.
Running aground, being killed, being bombed.
Time after time failing, but this time Zack didn't adjust the difficulty to recruit level, but instead kept it at normal difficulty.
These repeated failures, instead made him, as a player, even more filled with the fire of revenge.
On the rushing river, the driving of the speedboat gradually became skilled, and the splashing water and enemy fire constantly appeared.
At the same time, many enemy boats capsized and were blown to pieces.
But Soap and Price, like grim reapers, were closely following Shepherd.
'A1, this is Golden Eagle, report!'
In the sound of wind, water, and gunfire, Shepherd's voice sounded from the radio.
Because Soap and Price had previously hacked into the communication lines of Shepherd's men, they were fully aware of his orders.
'Reporting sir, W51 is paving the way and standing by downstream!'
'Roger, W51, be advised, we are almost there, over.'
'Roger, the hatch is open, please maintain a speed of 30 knots or more, pay attention to vertical height!'
Shepherd was obviously prepared, and Price and Soap could only watch him board the plane.
'Attention, Golden Eagle has checked in, begin evacuation, there is a sandstorm ahead, maintain altitude, all units be careful.'
And an even worse situation appeared, because they needed to go forward urgently, not only was there a waterfall, but in the distance there was also a raging sandstorm.
No way forward, pursuers behind.
It seemed they were trapped.
But at this time, Price was not flustered.
"Steady the boat, Soap, steady the boat!"
Listening to Price's words, Zack was not anxious at all.
Because in the game, for these NPCs he had fought alongside, as a player, he had long accepted them.
He just needed to trust his teammates.
He controlled the boat, keeping it steady.
At this time, Price moved, picked up the gun in his hand, and aimed it at the plane that was about to fly away.
Bang bang!
Two shots hit the pilot, and also measured the distance, using the grenade launcher installed under the muzzle, a grenade shot towards the plane.
'Boom!'
A loud noise was accompanied by an explosion, and the plane lost control and fell like a kite with a broken string.
But at the same time, Soap and Price's boat also lost control and plunged into the waterfall.
After struggling in the rushing river, the screen went dark.
When the picture appeared again, it was a piece of yellow sand.
The sandstorm was raging, and the distant oil refinery was submerged in the sand.
Braving the wind and sand, Soap struggled to find Price.
And at this time, outside the wreckage of the plane in the distance, Soap saw a person.
He was still alive!
Remembering the deaths of Ghost and Roach, Soap drew the knife from his body, wanting to kill Shepherd.
But who would have thought that the seemingly weak Shepherd still had considerable fighting power, in contrast, Soap had fought for a long time, plus the previous struggle in the water, was already very weak at this moment.
Shepherd grabbed Soap's right hand holding the knife with one hand, and punched Soap directly with the other.
'Clang!'
A burst of noise, followed by tinnitus appeared in Soap's ears, the impact knocked Soap senseless, and his body fell uncontrollably to the ground.
At this time, Shepherd picked up Soap's knife and stabbed it hard into Soap's chest.
'Thump!'
Blood instantly blurred his vision.
Feeling the simulation of the game pod on his lower abdomen, Zack shuddered.
But what followed was worry, could it be that Soap also...
At this time, Shepherd's voice slowly sounded.
'Five years ago, I lost thirty thousand brothers in the blink of an eye…'
'But the whole world would just stand by and watch.'
Saying that, Shepherd found his revolver and began to load ammunition.
'Starting tomorrow, we will have countless patriots and volunteers.'
'I think you can understand.'
The truth came out, that was the shocking nuclear explosion in the previous game, planting the seeds of hatred in Shepherd.
But don't make it sound so high-sounding!
Why did you join forces with Makarov to massacre civilians and put Allen in a deadly situation?
Maybe you weren't like this in the beginning.
Could it be that Soap will die in the hands of such a person!?
Listening to Shepherd's so-called confession, Zack didn't feel anything at all.
But just at this critical moment.
He knocked Shepherd, who was about to kill Soap, to the ground.
Then the two people wrestled together.
But compared to the better-conditioned Shepherd, Price was obviously no match at the moment.
Zack controlled Soap, trying to pick up the revolver on the ground, but Shepherd, in the midst of the fight, obviously noticed this, and unable to free his hands, he kicked the revolver away directly.
Fists to the flesh, a life-and-death struggle, but soon Captain Price fell into a disadvantage and was pinned to the ground by Shepherd and beaten madly.
At this time, Soap's vision in the game slowly looked at the dagger in his chest, and a prompt appeared in the game screen.
Zack's heart trembled, and accompanied by Soap's hands gripping the dagger, and a painful hiss.
The game pod's feedback continued to come, and finally with a 'thump' sound, the dagger was pulled out by Soap with all his strength.
Then he aimed at Shepherd in the distance.
With all his anger, Soap used all his strength to aim the dagger at Shepherd's head, and then threw it out.
The sound of the dagger cutting through the air made Shepherd subconsciously look up.
The next second.
'Thump!'
The dagger pierced Shepherd's head accurately.
The conspiracy, the war, the tide, had all come to an end.
Shepherd was dead!
But at this time, Zack felt no joy of revenge at all.
Because Soap's injuries were too serious, the screen had slowly changed from scarlet to gray.
This was a sign of death in the game.
Could it be that Soap will die in the end?
Zack was extremely worried in his heart.
He did not doubt this possibility at all.
After all, Roach had already died before.
But at this time, the sound of a plane appeared.
Nikolai, he was here.
Even though Price told him before they left that no rescue was needed, he still came.
'I remember I said this was a one-way trip.'
'This time is no different, unless they will keep hunting us.'
The two old comrades smiled at each other.
'Let's go, I know a place that can help Soap heal.'
The helicopter roared and took off, gradually fading away in the endless yellow sand.
Zack also slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
That's really great!
Thinking of the whole "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"plot, Zack took a long breath.
He really had too much to say about the two-part series.
And not only him, with the launch of the second part of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Global players simply exploded!
