Chapter 1: The Doomsday Experience Game
Mid-Autumn Festival, no moon, very cold.
The weather at this time of year should still carry the last trace of heat in the middle of summer.
But when 70 percent of the world's vegetation is gone, when the thick clouds are in the air all year round and refuse to leave, when the air is full of sand, flocculent and unknown germs......
The sunlight, which used to be dazzling and even a little disgusting, has become a luxury, and it has been separated from human beings for a long time.
In the present daytime, there is no brightness, only dimness, and even more darkness, and only a few rays of light can break through the blockade of the clouds and cast tenaciously to sprinkle a little comfort on this imminent, devastated land.
It's a pity that the faint light can't dispel the cold between heaven and earth.
In the ruins of an old-time civilization, Fang Liang was hobbling along, wearing a thick combat uniform, holding a broken blade, his lips were full of cracks, and his eyes were visibly impatient.
After being separated from his companions, he had not found a source of drinking water for five days.
And this place is from the town, and it will take at least three days to walk, and he will not be able to make it to that time.
Of course, there is actually water, and there is a lot of it, the environment here is a certain city in the old era, how can there be no water, but the water that glows with fluorescent green light is what makes people cut themselves off when they are completely desperate......
Massive amounts of nuclear contamination have turned all the water on this planet into deadly poison, but any untreated water ...... Whoever drinks dies!
Even if the treated water is treated, there is still a lot of nuclear contamination, but it can't be drunk for the time being......
As for the pure water, Fang Liang really forgot what the pure water tasted in his memory.
Clear? Sweet?
These words have been completely insulated from the survivors.
However, the world is so unpredictable, Fang Liang didn't expect that two hours later, he not only found water that could be drunk, but also suspected to be pure water!
It's a dark, gloomy, damp basement.
A young man with a cloudy gray left eye, a slightly crooked mouth, and chapped lips was holding an old flashlight, shining a yellowish light on the bottle of transparent liquid on the old bookshelf, his face full of surprise.
He is Fang Scale, who drinks irradiated water all year round, which has made a handsome young man become what he is now.
"No opening, no tiny creatures, no damn fluorescent green radiation, it's really pure water!"
The inside of the bottle was pure and transparent, and the words "so-and-so mountain spring" could be vaguely seen on the bottle body, which made Fang Yan couldn't help but grin and be excited.
The chapped lips instantly added several more bloody cuts, and a rusty smell immediately spread between the snorts.
But he didn't pay attention, constantly changing the angle of the flashlight, shining on the bottle of transparent liquid, his eyes were extremely focused, as if he was observing some rare treasure.
The light shines through the liquid, and the slight halo refracted on the half-decayed bookshelf seems to him to be the dawn of darkness at this moment!
"Damn the world nuclear level!"
Cursing as usual, Fang Liang couldn't wait to unscrew the cap.
This phrase is standard for survivors before drinking and eating.
After sniffing carefully and confirming that there was no peculiar smell, Fang Liang tilted the bottle to let the pure water flow into his mouth.
"It's so sweet!"
At this moment, he felt that this might be the taste of happiness.
Unfortunately, because of the stimulation of the smell of blood, two points of scarlet suddenly lit up in the dark corner of the basement, accompanied by a terrible scream of "squeak", and the two red dots approached the square scales at a very fast speed!
Sharp pain came from his arm, and Fang Scale's face instantly turned extremely pale.
It's not because it was attacked, but it can be told from the cry that this is just a common mutant rat, and when you encounter it, there are some threats, but it is not fatal.
What really made Fang Scale's breathing stagnant was that he was so good that the water bottle in his hand was actually scratched by the claws of the mutant rat and broken into two, and he was holding it...... It's just the top half!
Happiness was only enjoyed for a short moment, and then it was all sprinkled.
Fang Liang immediately shook off the mutant rat that was grabbing his arm and biting it, ignored it, and quickly lay on the ground, wanting to lick the pure water that had been spilled.
It's a big deal to be bitten a few more times, anyway, with the current human body, most of the germs can't survive when they enter the body, and being bitten by mutant rats is just a bite, but if the water is gone, it will be fatal!
It took him so long to find a bottle of water that wasn't affected by nuclear radiation, and if it wasn't there, he wasn't sure he would find a second bottle before he died of thirst!
Unfortunately, the tip of the tongue only touches the slightly moist earth......
The water, all seeped into the dirt.
"Don't ...... Can't ...... me like that."
Fang Scales seemed to be crazy, lying on the ground and refusing to get up, and even used his hands to pull out the soaked dirt and put it in his mouth, as if he could draw the water out again.
This is obviously impossible, and the ground under your feet is also dry to the point of cracking, and this little bit of water is long gone!
"I'll kill you!"
Fang Scales let out a terrible howl of despair, grabbed the mutant rat that had bitten his arm again following the smell of blood, and pinched it hard.
Suddenly, the sound of flesh and blood flying and bones shattering sounded extremely terrifying!
……
There is no endless road, this sentence is not right, and it is also true.
After the world's nuclear leveling, a huge amount of nuclear radiation killed 70% of the earth's creatures, and the remaining 30% of the creatures were not much better, all of them showed varying degrees of mutation, including humans.
There are symptoms of malignant mutations such as blindness in the eyes, deafness in the ears, hair all over the body, tentacles, and purulence all over the body, as well as benign mutation symptoms such as increased strength, swiftness, and wings.
These symptoms are not singular, more often than not, these symptoms will appear in the same person, two or three, or even four or five.
Because even after treatment, there is no way to remove the nuclear contamination from the water, and as people continue to drink radioactive water, more and more mutated symptoms will appear.
But what is helpless is that you can't stop drinking water, even if you drink it, even if your body mutates, you can finally live, but if you don't drink it, you will die immediately......
Die late and die immediately...... Out of the instinctive pursuit of life to live, people certainly want to stay up one more day.
No matter what, at least one more day to live, right?
Everyone's requirements now are really not high, they just want to live, that's it.
Fang Liang has actually been very fortunate that after the symptoms of malignant mutation in which he was blind in his left eye and his mouth was crooked, he hit the luck and showed benign mutation symptoms of greatly increasing his strength.
This is the biggest reliance on him to survive alone to this day in the wild where the number of mutated creatures is increasing day after he was separated from his companions.
However, no matter how strong you are, without water intake, you can't escape death after all.
After five days of water outage, what has supported him not to fall down until now is the extreme desire for water, and the ups and downs at this moment are really desperate multiplied by ten!
Picking up half of the bottle and licking the last few drops of pure water clean, despair continued to spread in his heart, and he seemed to have lost even the strength to stand up.
As for the blood of the mutant rat, it was emitting a strong green fluorescence in the darkness at the moment, obviously, no different from poison.
Okay, fed up with this damn world, so be it......
Lying on the ground, the one-eyed eyes of the square scales gradually faded.
"No...... Before I died, there was one more thing I didn't do......"
Suddenly, Fang Liang showed a hateful gaze, and with the fluorescent green light on the ground, he clenched his fist and smashed it down at the corpse of the mutant rat that was almost crushed by him.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
Again, and again, and again.
Flesh and blood splattered.
Every punch was filled with extreme hatred.
I want to kill it 100,000 times!
If it weren't for this beast, Lao Tzu could have lived.
Damn, this damn world, I couldn't bear it......
[Detect the strong will to survive of living beings]
[Coordinates of the fourth universe area, unnumbered Terran planet, give guardian places]
【Welcome to the Doomsday Experience Game】
[This game will simulate and extract the real apocalyptic environment for Guardians to experience and grow to resist the invasion of the apocalypse]
【Do you want to start the experience】
"Sure enough, there will really be auditory hallucinations before death......" Fang Scale's blank eyes rolled, ignoring it.
[Please choose whether or not to start the experience]
“???”
Fang Liang shook his head, looking at the line of words that suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief, his eyes fell into a daze.
"This, it's true?!"
He didn't speak for a while, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: If he can survive, he naturally wants to experience it.
【Received】
【Start the first apocalyptic experience】
[Prioritize the extraction of the reality doomsday factor and build a medium ......]
【Build Completed】
[Teleportation countdown: 10s]
"If I think in my heart, I can receive it?" Fang Scale's eyes widened.
Looking at the constantly beating countdown, his mentality, which had completely despaired of living and decided to end here, had a violent repetition.
This apocalyptic experience game is amazing, and it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be a so-called guardian...... After all, there's nothing worse than being in a position right now, isn't there?
When Fang Scale's mind was chaotic, the countdown quickly cleared.
Immediately, the green fluorescence and yellowish light disappeared at the same time, and the whole world was rapidly blurred like an ink painting, and it was pitch black, and a sudden feeling of anesthesia surged all over the body, and Fang Liang suddenly lost consciousness.
If all of this is true, then I should be able to open my eyes again, right......?
This was his last consciousness.
