Chapter 3: Variation (Part II)

"How do you know! I know it, and I'm so calm, hey! Xiao Cangda was shocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Nonsense, when there is an uncontrollable location shift, you need to confirm all the basic information as soon as possible, right?" Lin Qing pursed his lips, "If you don't develop such a habit, when did you cross over, participate in BTOM, ignite a spark, and there is no way to go down-in short, didn't you instantly catch blind at that time?" ”

"No, I still can't understand your thinking circuit." Xiao Cang rolled his eyes and sighed.

Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "Of course, it's Xiaocang after all." Anyway, I thought you knew about this kind of thing from the beginning, so I didn't say anything to you. As for why I'm so calm - do I have anything to panic about or something? Probably because I've been parasitized by tentacle monsters, and they're no threat to me. ”

So, let's find out what they're talking about.

As I said before, on Valentine's Day on February 14, 2021, at five o'clock in the afternoon, because of the pit thing called the world's first martial arts club, the humanoid organisms on the surface of the earth instantly decreased by nearly one million. Until an hour ago, only about 600,000 people returned, that is, nearly 400,000 NPCs died unexpectedly - but that's not the point, the point is, it's 2:32 a.m. on February 19, 2021.

In other words, this world's first qualifier seems to take less than half a day for the contestants, but in fact, for the people on the surface of the earth, it takes nearly five days.

Not to mention the NPCs that have died more than half of them and suddenly disappeared, the collective disappearance of players has no impact on the world as small as it seems at first glance. Coupled with the fact that some people are behind the scenes, the impact of this incident is even more serious.

I want to emphasize one point again, although all the characters, including the protagonist, are very calm, as if nothing happened, should be, should be a conspiracy, should be in love, but, at this time, the world is very different from the era of peace. For a large number of passerby characters, it is even more difficult to stay in this world.

The "Beast Plague", that is, caused by tentacle monsters and parasitic beasts, parasitizes in living organisms, marching into cities, and of course, parasitizing in humans. They have had a very serious impact on the daily lives of civilians. Specifically, it's basically a global-level Resident Evil, and the zombie apocalypse expansion has officially loaded.

However, there is no instantaneous wasteland situation that is common in apocalyptic novels, on the contrary, although the local damage has been relatively serious, but on the whole, human society still maintains a relatively stable state, and even, there is no particularly obvious difference between social order and peaceful years, just inside ****, for ordinary people, except for the appearance rate of the PLA uncle with a gun has been greatly improved, there will be occasionally more blood stains on the road, and you need to be careful when you go out, there is no difference from the past.

This is not to say that these tentacle monsters and parasitic beasts are weak chickens. In fact, although their infectivity is a little worse than that of the T virus, they have a long incubation period, and they are still quite concealed after the attack, and except for Lin Qing, no one has found a way to relieve the parasitic state, and the parasitic human individuals show a higher combat effectiveness than the group of zombies who can win with kitchen knives. Not to mention the changes that envelop the entire planet.

It's not that Resident Evil and those post-apocalyptic novels are forcibly set, in order to highlight the glorious image of the protagonist's personal heroism, it is convenient to use the background setting of the apocalyptic times to create some discordant plots that the people like to see - well, it is not ruled out that there are indeed such ...... In conclusion, this situation occurs mainly for the following two reasons.

First, this group of goods first appeared in the deep mountains and old forests, and lived a life without fighting with the world...... Although they basically keep a low profile, they are gradually understood and recognized by the governments, and before they rush out of the mountains and go to the world, the government has a certain degree of preparation, and has made a relatively timely and correct response and disposal.

Second, there is the presence of the player. The player's meaning is like that of a T-virus adaptor or an awakened person who eats zombie brain stones, but it is far more powerful than them. Even the weakest player, with the psychological advantage of never dying, and the practical magic of "the power of wisdom", is definitely not a dream to fight ten at a time - in this case, I'm talking about ten parasitic unlucky guys.

What does this mean? Specifically, when the official issued a large-scale bounty quest to hire players to hunt these monsters, and at the same time get an additional reward for cleaning up the accommodation area for other NPCs, almost all players who entered the game were extremely interested in cleaning up this thing, and they were also very enthusiastic about helping NPCs.

In this context, as said in the previous volume, although the fact of the player's invasion caused an uproar at the beginning, in the end, even the **** people who knew about it after a long time gradually accepted the player's existence.

However, on this very day, all the players suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Dead House No. 1, which had been prepared for a long time, also seized this good moment and issued a command, causing those monsters to become more aggressive.

On the first day, although the sudden attack of the monsters caused great losses to human society, it only took more than an hour for the military to react, and the power of modern thermal weapons was used to suppress this group of monsters beautifully, and with the powerful force of strong discipline, it quickly succeeded in pacifying the people who were in panic.

The original plan of Dead House 1 ended at this point, the social order will be separated from the original state of being close to the peaceful era, and people will become frightened birds, accumulating a sense of distrust in panic and fear, and then, Dead House 1 is still thinking about the next step, how to further promote this situation, so that people will fall into a state of war-like tension, and finally turn into a state of disorder and chaos.

However, because of the evil taste of a certain demon, they spent much longer than he expected in this qualifier, and although the scene was a little out of control, it was also the germ of disorder that Dead House 1 wanted to see.

Until the third day, even the **** people's army, because of the excessive dispersion of troops, underestimated the opponent so much that it tried to protect the stupid strategy of the whole city, fell into the dilemma of insufficient supplies, had to shrink the defense line step by step, and the whole country entered a state of war, and the daily life of civilians completely disappeared. However, at this time, it is better to keep them at home.

On the fourth day, faced with a steady stream of all kinds of parasitic creatures pouring in, and they were of different sizes, once a sparrow was accidentally released, it could lead to the death of dozens of soldiers.

Under the cover of the army, the vast majority of the population was transferred to underground facilities and adopted a supply system - to put it simply, under this surprise attack, the human beings who also overly despised their opponents, paid the price for their arrogance, and lost the game.

It was only then that people realized how much of a role players had played before, but at the same time, they realized how unreliable it was to expect players to work.

After the player suddenly disappeared without warning for nearly four days, he gradually got used to and even accepted the player's existence, and even those who wanted to live peacefully with the player, and even wanted to use the player's power, finally realized that the player was not a person from this world, and the things in this world, no matter from any point of view, had nothing to do with them.

Even the kindest and most law-abiding players will never be relentless when they kill NPCs when necessary; Even the players who have the best relationship with the NPCs will not care about the world and disappear from the world without saying a word when they need to, they are just passers-by who come to play, however, even if the natives want to use them, they don't even have a way to threaten the other party.

The player is a bomb that can detonate at any time, but when you throw it out in the hope that it will do something, it can suddenly evaporate, something that most people don't understand. Even the visionary, very shrewd people treat players as "intruders" - but that's not the case.

In essence, the group of players has no camp, no position, and pursues interests to act. NPCs can use their interests to lure them into action, but it is absolutely impossible to fully control or even control their actions. Because NPCs can't give all the benefits the player wants, and the vast majority of those benefits that NPCs can't give, NPCs can't even know about their existence.

After these five days, human society has temporarily returned to stability after the violent turmoil, and the human subject's understanding of the group of intruders of the player has also undergone a very huge change, and at this time, the players have returned.

"Going to save your girlfriend? Anyway, I don't think you need to be so concerned. Hearing Xiao Cang's words a little anxiously, Lin Qing sneered, "Even if you succeed in rescuing her, it remains to be discussed whether she is still your girlfriend." ”

From Lin Qing's attitude, Xiao Cang smelled something uncomfortable for him, but he didn't want to admit it: "Are you making some indecent jokes about tentacles and hats with special colors?" Rest assured, even if that happens, I'll accept it, and she's still my girlfriend. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, hesitant! How do you say that? 'Straight male cancer is disgusting! Why don't you die! So is that? Actually, I don't really understand the definition of the word straight male cancer, I ......" Lin Qing made a joke that was a little meaningless, "Okay, that's not the point, although what you said is very interesting, I don't mean that." ”

"Xiaocang, can you think about it? Most of the NPCs have now moved to underground facilities and are protected by the military. And the players will suddenly disappear at least three times in the future, well, the preliminary and semi-finals, right? Not to mention that the trust that NPCs have built up in the player is fading, do you think the world will return to what it used to be? ”

"......" Xiao Cang thought seriously for a long time, "What are you suddenly talking about?" ”

"I mean- in this way, is there any benefit for Miss Wu Ansu as a player boyfriend? She's not a middle school like me who yearns for the sea of stars, and if possible, it's more ideal to keep a distance from the player, a dangerous person like you, right? Xiaocang, what do you think? ”
