Chapter 32: Revealing the Truth

"You know, I've worked hard all the way through this game." Qi Zhen said lightly.

"You're not alone." He Li thought that Qi Zhen would say something amazing, and said it angrily.

Qi Zhen shook her head and said softly: "In many places where you can't see, some things are happening that we can't expect, but because of the game mechanics, we can only control the beginning of things, but we can't grasp the direction and outcome of things, once we intervene, or even just know the truth of the matter, it will affect the development of the story and even the ending, do you understand?" ”

He Li and Zhang Zhiwen both shook their heads blankly, not understanding what Qi Zhen was saying at all.

"To take the simplest example, we have been spreading the virus all over the world along the way, except for the PAD in our hands, have you ever learned from other sources how far the virus has spread now?" Qi Zhen asked.

"Of course not, we spend most of our time in the seed bag, and we can't even see the news, how can we know what's going on outside." He Li gave him a blank look.

"So what we are doing is only to spread, but not to intervene in the results of transmission, and even try not to understand the process, so that the virus can spread smoothly to every corner of the world." Qi Zhen nodded.

"What the hell are you talking about?" He Li was even more confused.

"Schrödinger's cat, have you heard this story?" Qi Zhen then asked.

As a result, only He Li had heard of it, and the other two people didn't know the story at all.

"To put it simply, the cat is placed in a box, in a state of quantum superposition, whether it is still alive or not does not depend on the process, but on the moment when the box is finally opened." Qi Zhen tried her best to tell the three people what she wanted to express with a simple description, "That is to say, whether the virus can spread to every corner of the world cannot be confirmed by any other method except for the PAD in our hands." ”

Qi Zhen squinted her eyes, as if she wanted to see through the logic of the entire game.

"Once we have to find out, the result is unpredictable, and it is possible to prove what it is, and it is more likely to prove it to be false." Qi Zhen said.

"I can probably understand a little bit of what you mean, but does this necessarily have anything to do with our coming to America?" Zhang Zhiwen asked.

"That's what I call intervention starts without intervening in the process." Qi Zhen said softly.

In order to make the two of them understand what they said more directly, Qi Zhen brought up the three problems when they first entered the game.

"First, how do we ensure that we don't get infected; second, how to escape from the world government; Third, how can we ensure that the infection reaches every corner of the world? These three questions have been on my mind throughout. ”

"On the first question, we were lucky to have Xhaka and it was a pleasure to have him join our squad through our hard work; The second problem was actually avoided by me, we can only rely on our own ability to seek survival space in the cracks, such as using the information gap to seek help from the motherland and the Holy See, such as making a mutually beneficial deal with the government of country Y; As for the third question......"

even

At this point, Zhen finally sighed.

"I've found that with the current configuration of our squad, it's hard to guarantee that everyone will be successfully infected with the C virus, even if we are in the most perfect state at the beginning of the game."

"The place we are in now is called Ushuaia, and if you really want to go to the small town to have a look, there must be many people who have not been infected with the C virus, but you see."

Qi Zhen raised the PAD in his hand, and the map showed that it was already red.

"We can't verify whether the virus has infected everyone, and we can't verify it, and once we do, these problems will no longer be determined by the system, but will become our problems."

"So I want to understand one thing, we don't need to ask everyone we see to be infected, but we need to explore the logic of the system, and only in this way can we complete the tasks assigned to us by the system." Qi Zhen made a concluding statement.

"So the reason why you brought us here is ultimately to ......," He Li asked suspiciously.

"Infect the Pure Land on the last two maps, the poles." Qi Zhen's answer was without hesitation.

"What you're saying is a bit complicated, and it seems to be beyond the scope of what the two of us 'newcomers' should understand." Zhang Zhiwen interjected, "But since you're so sure about this matter, it's better for us to get started, and then leave this game quickly." ”

Qi Zhen shook her head, a smile on her face.

"I'm okay in geography in junior high school, and if we follow your logic, as long as we get infected with the sea here, then the ocean currents will naturally help us achieve all the things that come next, right?" He Li asked suspiciously, she couldn't quite understand why Qi Zhen was not in a hurry at this time.

"Until then, I have one more thing to say." Qi Zhen looked at He Li and said softly.

"Say it quickly."

He Li was a little puzzled, if according to Qi Zhen's logic, as long as 100% of the infection goals above the PAD were achieved, the team could leave this game, what could be more important than this matter?

"It's about our squad." Qi Zhen lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xhaka on the side spewed out a long fleshy thorn from his hand for no reason, like an earthworm, shooting out in front of him!

The thing, which I don't know why, struck at its target at such an incomparably fast speed!

And its target is the somewhat stunned Zhang Zhiwen!

He Li didn't even have time to let out an exclamation, and this incomparably sharp flesh thorn came to Zhang Zhiwen's eyes in an instant.

Zhang Zhiwen's face suddenly tilted his head slightly to the side at this inadmissible moment, and the flesh thorns grazed his ears and pierced out, bringing out a puddle of blood.

"What are you doing!?" He Li screamed at Xhaka.

"You can dodge it this way, it seems that you are really strong." Qi Zhen's voice sounded at the right time, it seems that Zaka's shot was not improvised, he actually participated in it!

"What the hell are you doing!?" He Li felt that she really didn't understand the current situation more and more, and shouted loudly.

"Let's talk?" Qi Zhen ignored He Li, who looked incredulous, and said with her eyes fixed on Zhang Zhiwen.

"Yes, but

I don't want to stare into your eyes, it's too wicked. Zhang Zhiwen looked at Xhaka, ready to guard against another sudden attack.

The long flesh thorn was sucked back into his body by Xhaka again, a bit like when the tape measure was bald back, but the flesh-colored tissue still looked a little uncomfortable and disgusting.

"Actually, you've been doing pretty well." Qi Zhen said with a light smile.

"It's a pity, I actually just want to survive in this game, even if I hide something from you, it shouldn't be a reason for you to want to kill me." Zhang Zhiwen shook his head helplessly.

"What the hell are you talking about, why I don't understand." He Li was a little angry, not understanding what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing.

"I said, you add, let this newcomer little sister also know the real you?" Qi Zhen asked tentatively.

"Absolutely." Zhang Zhiwen nodded.

"Remember what I told you about on the road?" Qi Zhen didn't start telling the story right away, but suddenly asked He Li a question.

"You're talking about the past of the team before we came?" He Li wondered.

Qi Zhen nodded: "Gunsmith, mage, hunter, mechanic, warrior, thief, healer, plus me, this is our configuration in the game Plants vs. Zombies, and then the mechanic hung up, and there were seven people left in the team to enter the second game, and after the teammates died one after another in the second game, I was the only one left to seamlessly enter this game." ”

"You've already said that."

Although Qi Zhen used people's names last time, this time he mainly talked about the occupations of several people, but these words had indeed been carefully said to the three people on the road before.

This time, however, he wanted to say more than just storytelling.

"The design of the game must have its original purpose, it must ensure that the overall difficulty is not so difficult that all players will come in and die in vain, and naturally it will not be simple enough to let some people in just as a spectator. If there is a task that is more difficult than the upper limit that the squad can complete, then the squad must have triggered some unknowable side quest or hidden quest, but if there is someone who basically does not play a role in the team's gameplay, then there is only one possibility, that person is hiding his true strength. Qi Zhen patiently explained to He Li.

"I've seen my own profile, and it shouldn't be enough to make you doubt my identity." Zhang Zhiwen said at this time.

"Judging from the data, 'Zhang Zhiwen' has indeed started to follow 'Qi Zhen' at a very early age and participate in the research and development of the virus, and your resistance when you entered the game can indeed explain why you didn't assist the team in completing the task in the game, but your flaws are not here." Qi Zhen shook her head.

"I want to hear about it." Zhang Zhiwen said.

"Although you are very clever to disguise yourself as a person who came to modern times from the Anti-Japanese War and does not understand anything, you still have something to hide, such as that you have already experienced other games, for example, you actually know more about biomedicine in addition to Chinese studies, for example, you are a Japanese."

Qi Zhen looked at Zhang Zhiwen indifferently, and her words were not shocking.
