The sun was dipping low on the horizon, casting a crimson hue across the sky. А battalion of soldiers marched through the dense forest, their footsteps muffled by the thick underbrush. Above, helicopters buzzed like angry hornets, their blades slicing through the twilight air. Their target: a small, nondescript building nestled within the forest's embrace.
A voice blared through a loudspeaker from one of the helicopters. "Chen Long, surrender yourself and we may shorten your punishment."
Another voice crackled defiantly from the building's depths. "Hahaha! You've made the gravest mistake of your lives. Do you really think I, Chen Long, would fall for such a pathetic bluff? Go to hell! You betrayed me, and I'll be damned if I go down without a fight. Come and get me if you can!"
The voice from the helicopter responded coldly, "Your arrogance will be the cause of your death today. Soldiers! I command you to eliminate this traitor and bring peace to the world. ATTACK!"
With renewed fervor, the soldiers advanced towards the building. But their morale quickly dropped as a series of traps meticulously crafted claimed the lives of several helicopters and hundreds of soldiers.
"How do you like that? Even with all your forces against me, I'm still standing strong," Chen Long taunted, but his triumph was cut short by a deafening explosion.

"What was that? Oh, you were saying something? Forget it. Our troops have breached the building; you should think about running. Hahaha!" came the mocking reply from the helicopter.
"Damn you all!" Chen Long cursed furiously.
The soldiers stormed through the building, firing at every door before cautiously checking inside.
Behind one door, they discovered a bloodied figure gasping for breath-Chen Long himself. The same person who had been taunting him from the helicopter now stood before him.
"Oh dear, look at the state you're in," the figure said, dripping with sarcasm. "I warned you to surrender. Maybe things wouldn't be so grim if you had listened. But no, you chose this path."
Chen Long spat defiantly. "Choose this? You betrayed me, calling me a threat to your country and plotting my death!"
The figure's eyes widened in shock. "What? How could you know all this?"
Chen Long's gaze hardened. "Do you even know who I am? I'm Chen Long, the captain of the Devious Dragon troops and the military advisor of my country. Every nation feared my name. Who would have thought my own country would turn against me? But there's one more thing you should know."
The figure, now intrigued, leaned closer. "What is it?"
Chen Long's voice was a cold whisper. "You're going to die here, and the killer stands before you."
"What!?" Panic flashed across the figure's face as he tried to flee, but Chen Long's hand emerged from behind, gripping a gun. In a heartbeat, a bullet shattered the figure's brain, the sharp report echoing through the room.
The soldiers, caught off guard, opened fire on Chen Long with a storm of bullets.
"Hahaha, so this is how it ends," Chen Long chuckled bitterly as the life drained from him.
His eyes slowly closed, drifting into eternal sleep.
When they opened again, Chen Long was greeted by the sight of a bright blue sky and towering green trees reaching toward the heavens.
"What... Where am I? Didn't I just die?".
