Gamers Are Fierce Chapter 172: Coming
"Those who can be called by name are basically present."
On the west side of the auditorium on the first floor, Wanli Fengdao pushed the square glasses on the bridge of his nose and whispered to Xing Hechou, who was sitting next to him.
As a former bounty hunter, Brother Xiaodao has not made an appearance in the outside world for a long time-he joined the Mobile Task Force of the Special Affairs Bureau as a special advisor shortly after the battle for the door ended to find an alien society. No longer work as a bounty hunter in the special projects of the ruins.
And his parents, relatives and friends have also been accepted into the world, and they are truly his own.
"Hmm."
Xing Hechou, who was sitting in the Special Affairs Bureau's camp, also pushed the brown square glasses on the bridge of his nose and glanced around the auditorium on the first floor.
In the sky arena, players can use their own equipment, skills, and props, but they cannot affect others or detect others.
Therefore, Xing Hechou, Wanli Fengdao, and other colleagues in the Special Affairs Bureau are wearing special glasses provided by the equipment technology department - these glasses can take pictures in real time and transmit the pictures to the outside of the sky arena. Data Processing Center,
After being calculated by the data processing center, the information is sent back to the glasses.
At a glance, you can freely explore the personal data files of every player in your sight.
“The Killing Institute and the Green Lanterns in Ridao,
European Heavy Industry's Dakokutian and Feathered Snake - I thought they died at the hands of the military-industrial complex, but I didn't expect that they were not abandoned by European Heavy Industry as a rag.
AIM of the FBI - I heard that a lot of high-level Americans have died recently, and David is leading the world to find the murderer.
And the Inquisition, the Templars, the Witch League...
Oh, Brother Lee is there too. "
Wan Li Fengdao saw the familiar figure in the white coat in the crowd, and also saw Wang Congshan along the way - there was a circle of vacant seats beside the two, no one dared to sit over, and they were quite conspicuous in the audience .
Wanli Fengdao raised his hand hesitantly, and waved it slowly, only to see Li Ang also raising his hand and waving it. The latter, not wearing the iconic faucet mask, looked in a good mood, eating something with the bowl in his other hand.
"I haven't seen him in a while."
Wanli Fengdao smiled and lowered his arms, his eyes narrowed, and his voice slowly said: "Uh...it doesn't seem to take long, only two months."
The player's concept of time is very different from that of ordinary people. For ordinary people, two months is just a blink of an eye, but for extraordinary people who are licking blood and precarious,
A lot of things happened in two months, and the 60-day period was so long that it seemed like a few years had passed.
"It's really... just like a lifetime."
Wanli Fengdao seemed to have ripples of memories, and said with some melancholy: "Hey, Lao Xing, do you remember the first time we met?
Just the one at Guhan Temple.
You, I, Miss Liu, Brother Li, and Master Huiqi, five people, including Miss Chai, five people and one ghost, were surrounded by a group of evil spirits in the temple, accompany them to feast, and watch them prepare to take The living are digging their lungs to drink.
If you hadn't taken the lead in the first place, maybe I would have really watched an innocent die in vain and wouldn't have dared to draw a sword. "
"That time..."
Xing Hechou also narrowed his eyes and said with some nostalgia: "Hehe, how do you remember the past? Have you changed?"
"No, I just feel it."
Wan Li Fengdao waved his hand, "After that time, I became a bounty hunter, Miss Liu held the right to inherit the Liu family, and you became a senior officer of your Mobile Task Force, Master Huiqi... I remember you. Last time you said he went to work for the National Denominations Association?"
Xing Hechou nodded, "Well, he went to a project at the Academy of Social Sciences. I haven't contacted him for a while. You know, confidential work, you can't have contact with the outside world except for your superiors."
"That's it. That's fine."
Wanli Fengdao sighed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lao Xing, tell me, how long can I live?"
"Huh?"
Xing Hechou raised her brows in astonishment and looked up and down at her friend.
Judging from the scan results of the external appearance of the glasses, Wanli Fengdao is full of energy, Yintang is slightly shiny, and the whole person is full of energy, and it doesn't look like he is about to die.
"What's wrong with you, why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden? Would you like to let the medical staff take a look?"
"I'm not sick."
Wanli Fengdao waved his hand with a wry smile, his face calmed down, and said softly, "As the killing game goes on, I feel more and more that I can't support myself anymore.
Each mission is getting harder and more dangerous, pushing yourself further and further in the direction of humanity.
I met a lot of people as a bounty hunter, and made a lot of friends who could be called 'friends',
But by now, the friend list is half gray.
The players who came along with us at the same time are dying one by one. I don't know how long I can last, and I don't know what the killing game wants from us.
This kind of life on thin ice seems to never end..."
Xing Hechou looked out of focus at the noisy auditorium.
Along the way, he did not know how many companions and colleagues he had buried and how many deaths and sacrifices he had witnessed.
Even for those companions who were as strong as steel before they became players, some people were gradually smoothed out the edges and corners of the death test again and again, and even lost their will to survive, quietly disappearing on the way forward.
It is no small miracle that the five people who met at Guhan Temple have all survived unharmed until now.
"We superhumans can open up mountains and rocks, block rivers and create seas with just our hands and feet. We are so majestic, but only we know that we are just unlucky **** urged by death to chase after them."
Wan Li Fengdao laughed at himself: "Only those who have given up all moral reason and are completely impersonal, such as the transformation players raised by European heavy industry,
Or a genius who is talented and can thrive in a killing game environment,
In order to ignore the gradually tightening rope, and live comfortably.
It's ridiculous that there are so many ordinary people who don't know, or pretend they don't,
I am eager for player qualifications, and I want to pursue the opportunity to be promoted to extraordinary. "
"Besieged? People in the city want to go out, people outside the city want to come in?"
Xing Hechou smiled slightly, he could understand Wanli Fengdao's sudden sadness and anxiety, because he also had this kind of emotion.
He has his own parents, wife, children, and a peaceful and happy life, but all of this has been taken away and will never come back.
"...don't think about it too much, before the start of the killing game, we were just ordinary people pushed by the times, and it is the same now, there is no difference."
Xing Heshou patted Wanli Fengdao on the shoulder with a wry smile, and said some deflated words of comfort. Deep in the eyes. But there was a hint of heaviness.
Actually, in the XK-class doomsday scenario of the Secret Service, the worst was expected—
The Killing Game is very ambitious, and this year, like the countless previous ones, the Killing Game cannot be satisfied.
Then destruction comes, the earth reshuffles,
And human beings, even those who hide in the door world, will suffer irresistible demise.
In that scenario, players and superhumans will be given death without discrimination, even top superhumans like Hanshuishi and Su Nisheng cannot compete with fate itself.
And in response to that doomsday scenario, one of the Secret Service's methods is to dream.
A dream of kidnapping all mankind.
They will start a giant machine like never before,
That machine integrates all the wisdom and novel technology of the equipment R&D department, and integrates the characteristics of the extraordinary elements of the "dream system" such as Meng Tapir, Sheng Nan Wang, and Chenghu Yukari.
Able to pull all human beings into the same grand dream forcibly and unconsciously.
The time outside the dream will be slowed down to the extreme,
And in the dream,
7 billion people continue to live peacefully.
There has never been any player, there has never been any killing game, 7 billion people know nothing about the outside world, continue their life and death, have children, parents are short, pots and pans...
Dream still follows the physical laws of the real world. Therefore, the 7 billion people in the dream world can continue to develop technology, develop anti-rocket ships, and hopefully explore the unknown universe——
Until one day, very few sensitive and wise people in the dream world realized the falsehood of the world and revealed the truth in madness.
At that time, the dream machine's self-correction system will activate, reset all conditions to zero, and begin the next cycle.
Human civilization will usher in the true end of the world in a stable and peaceful cycle.
It's okay to deceive yourself or help yourself out in despair,
The XK-class doomsday scenario defense program called "The Other Side of the Dream" was the memory Xing Hechou was most reluctant to remember, but he did not ask his colleagues in the medical department to help him clear this part of the memory.
Because of "the other side of the dream", it can also be a kind of alternative relief-in the department, some of them encountered great torture and pain in the script task, and could not be treated with conventional treatment procedures,
A colleague who can't even keep a sane mind will be connected to the machine,
In the slow cycle of life, slowly calm down.
The other side of the dream is one of the Secret Service's ultimate guarantees for each operator and the entire human civilization, although Xing Hechou hopes that it will never be used in this life.
Beep beep, beep beep.
The vibrating sound of the watch pulled Xing Hechou from his heavy thoughts back to the real world. He came back to his senses and looked at the arena.
30, 29, 28...
The digital timer on the watch silently counts down,
The more than 100,000 people crowded in the audience also shut their mouths and waited silently.
The huge space suddenly fell silent.
Finally, the timer is cleared, and the battle of fate officially begins.
————
Moon, Jinghai Cloud Palace.
Danji sat on an unremarkable wooden seat, propped his chin with one hand, crossed his lazy legs, and looked at the large gray-brown TV in front of his eyes.
Several other "people" were also watching the TV.
The professor stood aside, his eyes calm and gentle,
Achilles fiddled with the red bow around his neck,
The mirage dragon lowered his eyes, his dark green eyes narrowed into slits, making it hard not to wonder if the dragon was secretly dozing off.
Boom-
A long explosion sounded from a distance through the clouds.
The scorpion didn't even move his eyelids.
During this period of time, there were still people on Earth who continued to send probes to the moon.
Desperate for information from the Longevity Seeds, they are begging to meet again and again.
The killing game has made lunar exploration a lot more convenient. Aside from some skills, it can shorten the rocket construction cycle and cost. Some props even reach the second cosmic speed, flying directly out of the earth and into the lunar orbit.
It's a pity, however, that neither the professor, nor the Aguilar, nor the Drake Mirage are interested in conversing with mortals.
The probes that were launched all crashed above the Jinghai Cloud Palace.
Like a clock, every once in a while there is an explosion.
"Finally, it's coming."
Akiley fiddled with the red bow tie around his neck and returned, and his face, which was almost identical to that of the earth penguin, showed a dignified look for the first time.
"Now is not the best time."
The professor on the side sighed, looking at the large gray-brown TV that was broadcasting the sky arena, his lips slightly pursed, "The battle of fate is coming sooner than I thought. A lot."
"Are you worried that your students are not ready?"
Akili frowned slightly when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Or, are you regretting that you didn't choose the second egg basket?"
"No, it's just...still a little worried."
The professor shook his head, "If you give them a little more time, they can grow better and go further.
But other worlds don't give that chance.
I'm tired and tired of running away, Earth must succeed. My students must and will succeed. "
"I hope so."
The Achilles Penguin nodded slowly, and out of the corner of his eyes swept over the calm-faced Drake and the drowsy Mirage.
The battle of life is about to begin,
Maybe out of some anxiety,
Achilles Penguin has a stronger desire to talk than usual~IndoMTL.com~, "...don't you two take a serious look?
Your old friends and acquaintances should also come to participate in this war. "
“…”
The scorpion sitting in the chair silently raised his eyes, glanced indifferently at the taupe TV and the Achilles penguin, and calmly said: "They are not my old friends.
Whether it is an alchemist from the Abnormality Society or the so-called gods, they are all dead.
Now, those who come back from the grave are only dead but not dead corpses.
Of course, including that King Shibi. "
Akili had a strange expression on his face, "Ahem, isn't he different..."
"There is no difference, the real King Shibi has long since died. All that is still alive are the afterimages of the past."
The scorpion shook his head in disgust, as if he had a strong hatred for those carrion corpses who refused to die obediently.
