Chapter Ninety-Six: Mass Tasks
Li Tongchen immediately panicked and controlled the game character to hide.
In the next instant, a violent shockwave burst in, shattering the glass of the room, and even directly blowing down the house he was in.
He could even see the fire burning on the characters' bodies, and the gales passing by, as if they had happened to him.
Looking towards the center of the city, those who were close to the center of the nuclear explosion had already been directly vaporized, and those who were farther away were blown away and burned into black charcoal.
Farther away, it becomes a running fireball.
The whole city was already on fire, and the screams and crackling of the flames were incessant.
Half of Li Tongchen's figure was buried in the rubble, and the mobile phone screen suddenly went black.
He couldn't help but be shocked.
Is that the end of the game?
Did he fail?
It was only two or three seconds later that the phone screen lit up again, and it was already daylight in the game.
The entire city has been reduced to rubble, and there are corpses everywhere around.
Li Tongchen controlled the game character to struggle out of the rubble with force, and looked around, but all he could see was corpses.
He couldn't help but shiver a little.
The scene was so real, so real that he thought it was really happening.
He got up from the ground and staggered through the rubble, trying to find another living person.
Although he knew that the radiation here was definitely beyond the standard I don't know how many times, and he might even die of acute radiation sickness soon, he didn't have time to care about it so much.
At this moment, there was a faint thunderous sound in the sky.
Li Tongchen looked up and saw several missiles cutting through the sky and flying towards the west.
At the same time, several more missiles fell from the extremely high sky, and the sub-warheads fell into the distant sky.
Then came a flash of light.
It's a nuclear flash.
He is a person who has lived through those turbulent years, and he has also conducted militia training, including chemical defense training, and understands that it is a nuclear strike and has not stopped.
I just don't know what the city in the distance has been destroyed?
Li Tongchen continued to walk through the ruins.
The collapse of the house in the ruins created a corridor-like path that seemed to guide him forward.
When he walked to the edge of the ruins and finally met the first person, Li Tongchen couldn't help but be startled.
The man's face had been badly burned, and it looked distorted and horrible, and it was impossible to see the original face.
It's just that the other party also seemed to be taken aback by Li Tongchen and took a few steps back.
Li Tongchen's heart sank, and he immediately found a broken car rearview mirror and took a photo, and what appeared in front of him was an equally distorted and broken face, with facial features like melting candles.
He was also disfigured.
The broken face was too terrifying, even though he understood that this was a game, Li Tongchen in reality couldn't help but touch his face.
Fortunately, it is still intact.
At this moment, the man he had just met in the game suddenly asked:
"Who are you? You...... I've become like this? ”
The sound is electronic-synthesized and appears to have been converted by the game system.
And judging from the lip shape, what the other party says may not be Chinese at all.
Li Tongchen nodded and said:
"Yes, we're all disfigured."
Is this an NPC from the game or another player?
The last stone statue apocalypse was a completely single-player game, and the NPCs in it were only those who peeled the skin, and it was the first time he had encountered a game character who could speak.
The other party looked at the surrounding scene, suddenly smiled, and said:
"Like the real thing, the developer must be a goddamn genius...... Let's go, let's go outside and see, are there any hints. ”
Li Tongchen instantly determined that the other party was also a player!
The man spoke, striding forward, with a confident stride and apparently successful in the real world.
"How did you get this game?" The man asked without looking back.
Li Tongchen's eyes narrowed, he didn't bother to take care of him, but continued to look at the surrounding environment.
The ruins of the city were a hell, littered with corpses and flames.
The fire has not been extinguished, it is still burning in many places, and black ashes are still falling from the sky.
Seeing that Li Tongchen didn't pay attention to him, the man was not angry, smiled slightly, and said to himself:
"It's a three-phase bomb, with a depleted uranium shell on the outermost layer, and most of the strike systems of several nuclear powers now use this thing, and the radiation is extremely strong, under normal circumstances, we have died of acute radiation sickness."
Li Tongchen said slowly:
"Yes, acute radiation sickness of this intensity is almost certain to die, and will eventually turn into a piece of rotten flesh that is constantly bleeding."
Then neither of them spoke and continued along the path through the ruins.
Not long after they left, they met three more survivors with ugly faces, and judging by each other's words, they were all players, not NPCs.
Soon, they had completely walked to the edge of the city, and when they turned the corner, there was an open space in front of them, and there were thousands of people standing there in the clearing!
Each of these people had their faces burned, and there was no chance of recovery.
It's just that most people understand very well in their hearts that the reason why the producers let the faces of these game characters be damaged is actually a disguised protection for them.
After all, the characters in the previous games were exactly the same as themselves.
Although they talked occasionally, they seemed very orderly, did not shout loudly, and most of them appeared very calm.
When Li Tongchen and others joined in, the whole picture suddenly turned blood-red, and then a few lines of big characters appeared:
"This mission is a group mission.
Task 1, find the real reason for the outbreak of nuclear war.
Mission 2, Terminate the nuclear strike.
Mission 3, save the surviving humans and rebuild human civilization.
This quest can be read indefinitely, and the character will return to the spawn point when he dies.
Completing quests will reward you generously.
Failure to do so will usher in a real apocalypse. ”
Seeing these lines, a group of gamers couldn't help but be in an uproar, and many people couldn't maintain self-cultivation and scolded directly.
And Li Tongchen's hand shook and almost dropped the phone to the ground.
Mission failure will usher in a real apocalypse!?
What does that mean?
Is it literal?
Thinking of the gargoyle's vaccine in the apocalyptic world of the stone statue before, Li Tongchen instantly felt that the game developers behind the scenes were not joking!
Moreover, the generous rewards mentioned in it should be enough to move people, at least something that can be compared with the gargoyle vaccine.
At this moment, the content of the mission had disappeared, and a man with a red bandage on his head climbed onto the top of an abandoned car and said loudly:
"Everyone should have played the first level of the stone statue apocalypse, I suspect that the producers of this game may have some mysterious powers, plus the previous Arctic nuclear torpedo incident, you must be careful! And we're playing this game to find out what's going on behind the scenes, so I suggest you do it now! ”
Just then, another man climbed onto the roof of another car and said in a loud voice:
"Not bad! Since it is a group task, you should first choose a leader to solve the problem of disagreement among the group, if everyone has no opinion......"
There was a boo from the crowd, and it was clear that no one wanted to accept the leadership of a stranger.
After all, they are all in high positions of power in reality, and they can be regarded as arrogant.
It's just reason but it also reminds them that it's not a way to go on like this.
At that moment, a few people proposed that the 10,000 people present could be temporarily divided into ten thousand teams, and each thousand team could be divided into 100 teams, and then they could use the 100 teams as a unit to investigate first.
I believe that for them, even a hundred people are completely enough.
At this time, Vasily also controlled the game characters to blend in the crowd, and immediately loudly agreed to this plan.
At that moment, 10,000 people quickly divided into 100 teams of 100 people nearby.
Later, everyone also found out that most of them had received militarized training, at least had relevant experience.
Many people also felt some of the usual majesty of the superior from the speech and demeanor of other players.
It wasn't long before they started howling......
