Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Blue Eyes of the Lake
After numbering the hundred hundreds, they set off at the same time, heading in different directions.
Most of them went into the wilderness, while others re-entered the ruins destroyed by nuclear bombs, looking for clues.
Vasily and Li Tongchen's squad belonged to the same squad, squad No. 9.
It's just that at this time, everyone's faces have been distorted to the extreme, and they don't know who the other party is.
And in this game, most of the people are also vigilant and will never easily reveal their identities.
The crowd controlled their characters and moved silently, only to soon break the silence and start talking to each other.
After all, in the rest of the game, they need to cooperate with each other.
"Hello, my name is Lee." Li Tongchen said to Vasily beside him.
Vasily only hesitated, and said with a smile: "Hello, my name is Valli. ”
"Hello, I'm John." Another game character on the side said to them.
There is even a handshake among the options of the game characters.,The three of them shook hands.,It's official.。
Of course, they both understand that the other party is definitely using a pseudonym or surname abbreviation, and there is no way to determine the identity in reality.
The wilderness was also full of hell at this time, and the city they had just left seemed to be under attack by multiple nuclear bombs.
The traces caused by the blast wave of the nuclear bomb crisscrossed the trees, and the trees were directly crushed by the once violent shock wave.
A layer of black snowflakes fell on the ground, which was radioactive dust.
It's just that the characters they control seem to be immune to radiation and the harsh environment here, and they don't die because of it.
Radioactive fallout kept falling, and there were many corpses lying on the side of the road.
Some died of acute radiation sickness, some were thrown to death by shock waves, and some were killed by murder in the chaos, or even suicide.
Some of the vehicles were parked on the road, most of them had been smashed or burned to a blackened iron coffin.
A man who walked at the front, faintly regarded himself as the leader of the team, said slowly: "Is there only death? If that's the case, the game wouldn't be as good as ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly exclaimed, threw himself in front of a broken car in front of him, banged on the window desperately, and shouted:
"Elena? Eva? No! How...... How could it be you! ”
The car seemed to have been rolled over several times by the shock wave, and in the driver's seat was a beautiful woman in her thirties, and the co-pilot was a little girl of seven or eight years old.
At this time, their faces were covered with blood, the woman's chest was pierced by a steel bar, and the little girl's head was limp to the side, apparently broken by the huge inertia.
"How could it be you!? Demon, the developer of this game is a demon! ”
Needless to explain, everyone understands at this time that the two people in the car are this person's wife and daughter!
They were muttering in their hearts, only to be heard soon with a terrible shout:
"Jessica! My God! It's Jessica! ”
"Child, child, this is my child!"
"Damn the developer, you actually made the deceased into the image of my parents!"
"Demon, this demon!"
Amid the shouts, Vasily also found the body of his son Ivan.
His tiny corpse was curled up under the highway fenders, his face yellow, his hair also dry, as if he had suffocated to death, and a small matryoshka doll clutched tightly in his hand.
It was Vasily who gave him a gift when he returned home the other day.
The game system even gave a close-up of the corpse directly, with lake-blue eyes wide and cyan corpse spots on his face.
There doesn't seem to be pain, but the helplessness and despair are even more uncomfortable.
Vasily, who was in the study, threw away the mouse in his hand, rushed into the bedroom next to him, and turned on the light.
The little boy Ivan was lying asleep in bed with a faint smile on his face and a matryoshka doll in his hand.
Vasily calmed down, slowly walked to the bedside, bowed his head and kissed his son lightly on the forehead.
Then he turned off the light, left the bedroom, returned to the study again, and picked up the mouse with a solemn face.
At first, he was just trying games and solving puzzles curiously, but everything on the screen in front of him seemed to change its meaning in an instant, and the mouse seemed to become extremely heavy.
Li Tongchen also found the bodies of his daughter, son-in-law and grandson in the ruins of the game.
He sighed, turned off his phone first, called his daughter and chatted for a while, then stood up, walked to the window, and smoked a cigarette silently, then picked up the phone again and opened the game screen.
As a doctor, having seen and experienced countless lives and deaths, he naturally understood what the game developer meant in an instant.
At this time, in the game screen, all the hundred people found the bodies of their relatives in the game, and then there was a few minutes of stillness.
By the time everyone was back to their activities again, no one was cursing anymore, and everyone seemed much calmer and much more silent.
There is no fool in the people here, and many people even understand what the developers mean in an instant.
If a nuclear war breaks out, all this may be true.
Their loved ones will die in a tragic way.
The crowd was silent for a moment and continued on their way.
Soon, they finally meet other living people in the game world, a group of NPCs.
The men were fleeing for their lives, from a city, and one of them said there was a former bomb shelter in the nearby mountains where they could hide.
The crowd immediately followed the men to the bomb shelter.
There were all kinds of hardships and dangers along the way, and at this time, someone finally died on the way, and then disappeared directly in the same place, apparently being teleported back to the ruins of the city just now.
It turns out that these game characters are not immortal, but they just seem to be more durable.
It's just that when they came to the bomb shelter, they saw another scene of human tragedy.
Due to the earthquake caused by the nuclear explosion, the mountain collapsed, and the mountain where the bomb shelter was located directly buried the entire bomb shelter, and there was no oxygen inside, and everyone suffocated inside.
When everyone digs the bomb shelter together, what appears in front of them is a close-up of purgatory.
Some players were clearly unable to bear this at this point, and the characters froze in place, with the sound of vomiting.
At this time, everyone was a little confused.
What exactly does developer mean?
Is it to let them see the tragic situation after the outbreak of nuclear war, and remind them through these disgusting images?
Or is it just to disgust them?
Everyone was puzzled.
Fortunately, another group of NPCs appeared, and it seemed that the remnants of the army were passing by, ready to escort them out of here and take refuge in an underground nuclear bunker.
The crowd immediately asked the leading officer why a nuclear war had broken out.
The officer hesitated for a moment, then said:
"It seems that because of the Crimean issue, the bear country suddenly launched a nuclear bomb at the eagle country...... I can't say for sure, there are still some rumors that the Eagle Country took the lead in striking the Bear Country's nuclear base, triggering a counterattack by the Dead Hand System, and all the nuclear powers in the world were dragged into it, which caused the current ......"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and several players even loudly denounced these two statements, instantly revealing their nationality.
It's just that everyone immediately understood that this was definitely not the real reason for the outbreak of nuclear war, otherwise finding the reason behind it would not have become a game task.
Soon, the group finally reached a shelter located deep in a large mountain.
At this point, they found that they could not tell where the map was.
The NPCs are male and female, Oriental and Western, and their skin colors are of all races, and even the surrounding scenery is mixed with the architecture of various places.
Obviously, the developers did this with a deep meaning, as if they wanted to make them forget their nationality, race, and class for a while, and only remember one identity.
Mankind.
At this moment, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the screen in the game suddenly went black, showing a few lines:
"Midnight has arrived, forced offline, and the game mission will be opened again in six hours."
