Looking at the black screen, Vasily couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.

This game is too realistic, as soon as midnight arrives in the game, the game characters will be forced to rest, and they, the players, are naturally forced offline.

I didn't expect that there was such a thing as forced offline.

He had a faint hope in his heart that it would all start again as soon as possible.

And he also understands that he is definitely not the only one who has this idea.

At this time, it is almost midnight in Moscow, and players in other regions are estimated to be miserable, Huaguo should be five o'clock in the morning, and the Eagle Country should have just fallen into the night.

After a quick shower, he went to bed and kissed Ann's wife and closed his eyes, but Vasily couldn't sleep a little.

The game footage he had just experienced was so real that he was moved.

The scenario of nuclear war is completely hell on earth.

In any case, this must not be allowed to happen.

The existence of the Dead Hand system may be a mistake?

It was almost three o'clock in the morning Moscow time before he fell asleep, and after more than two hours, Vasily was awakened by the alarm clock and immediately got up and went to the study.

Although he only slept for more than two hours, his desire for the game made him not tired at all, but very excited.

As soon as I turned on my computer and logged in to the game, I was greeted by a new vision, as if I was forced to go offline just to update the game.

The sky was overcast, as if obscured by a thick curtain, and the ground was covered with gray snow.

As far as the eye can see, there is not a single green in the wilderness, only gray.

It was cold, and the temperature of the whole environment was almost twenty degrees lower than before.

Even the shelter they were in was in jeopardy.

More than two years have passed since they went offline to the time they logged in again.

The nuclear winter has been going on.

After a simple greeting from the players, it was obvious that many of them seemed to be weak and unenergetic, obviously not sleeping well or reversing day and night.

At this point, time in the game also starts to speed up.

The shelter they were in had limited resources, but there were too many people to eat, and food was soon running out, and a fierce conflict finally broke out.

These players naturally belong to the same faction, but the NPCs are divided into several factions, and some soldiers have also merged with the evacuees in the past two years, dividing into several factions.

A fierce conflict broke out, and in the end, thanks to mutual cooperation, the player's faction won, and with the addition of those NPC game characters, their faction was almost two hundred people.

More than 700 people from the other factions were all brutally killed, and the player also lost more than 30 people, all of whom disappeared in place, probably returning to the ruins of the city at the beginning to be reborn.

At this point, there is not enough food in the shelter, and in order to survive, players start to live with the dead along with the surviving NPCs.

This strong moral subversion hits every player, and even though it's just a game, they can see the whole process of the corpses being disposed of.

There are even quite a few close-ups of disembowelment, which is obviously a bad taste for developers.

After enduring the nausea and spending some time, the nuclear winter finally passed, and the news of other remnants of humanity came from afar, and it was said that the remnants wanted to hold a meeting of all mankind to agree on the future direction of human civilization.

Not only the people of this land, but also people from other continents are said to come by radio calls.

After discussing with Vasily and Li Tongchen, their team immediately decided to go and see it as well.

After all, judging from the news, this should be a main plot.

There are also a lot of vehicles in the shelter where they are located, which is considered to be rich in supplies.

The group drove to a newly built city in the middle of the wilderness.

Everything here is brand new, the whole city is clean and tidy, like a flower of hope blooming in the wasteland.

As expected, there are quite a few players here as well.

Or rather, most of the players have come here.

Those who didn't come died in an accident on the way they came.

However, judging by the appearance of these players, it is clear that they are not doing very well.

Many of them have missing arms and legs.

And although the vitality of these game characters is relatively tenacious, the injuries on their bodies have been difficult to heal, and the ruined faces have become more and more ugly and hideous.

The same goes for the NPCs, not many of them are intact, and some of them have directly brought in deformed babies born after the nuclear war.

It's just that none of this matters anymore, because this meeting will be a meeting of hope that will decide the future.

Humanity will be reborn.

Time sped up dramatically in the game, and after a few more days in the game, more and more remnant human representatives arrived from all over the world.

They came either in armored vehicles, by boat, or by airplane landing at an airfield outside the city, as if to take a look around before the world was completely destroyed.

The remnants of humanity began to meet officially.

Held in the stadium of the City of Hope, the conference was known as the Meeting of Hope and was attended by nearly 20,000 people.

Everyone is deeply disgusted and hated by this global nuclear war.

The miserable survival of several years in the nuclear winter has made many people directly have an instinctive aversion to technology.

The representative of the Americas and the Western Pacific Islands proposed that the remnants of humanity should return directly to the agrarian age, downgrade technology and avoid the emergence and development of nuclear technology forever.

This proposal was approved by most of the NPCs, and even many players did not say anything despite opposing it at this time.

They had only been playing this game for a while, and they had already felt a kind of depression that bordered on suffocation, almost unbearable misery.

And if a person really survives in this apocalyptic world for a few years, everything that he once believed in is likely to collapse directly, and it is normal to have hatred for technology.

Moreover, if this agreement in the game can be reached, there is a greater possibility that human civilization will be revived again.

It's also a good thing for them to accomplish their tasks.

After all, after this re-contact, the players found out through communication that there seems to be only one clue about the three major missions so far, only the nuclear strike has been terminated, and the other two have no clues at all.

Soon, the agreement was finally reached, and representatives of the surviving humans began to sign the Pact of Hope.

This pact not only proposed technological degradation, but also declared that there would be no more wars between human beings and no more wars.

What happened at the meeting spread around the world with radio waves, and the Morse code, which had been almost discarded, was once again in its place.

The players were a little relieved to see this scene, as if all this was their own experience, and they had experienced an epic scene in human history.

The dark clouds in the sky that had not dispersed for a long time also opened a few cracks at this time, and the sunlight sprinkled down and shone into the stadium where the conference was held, which made the players feel very happy.

Vasily, Li Tongchen and John glanced at each other and patted each other on the shoulder, sighing like old friends for many years.

At this moment, there was a piercing sound in the sky again, and then a meteor-like ball of fire fell from the sky, instantly splitting out eight sub-warheads and falling into various parts of the City of Hope.

Towering mushroom clouds soared into the sky, followed by shock waves and scorching waves of fire in all directions, and the stadium was the center of attack from several nuclear bomb explosions.

The players present looked at each other, and many of them were already engulfed by the ultra-high flames and burned to ashes before they could curse......

“Mother Fucker！” There was a frantic expletive from the office of the director of the CIA headquarters in the Eagle Nation, followed by the sound of computers being slammed to the ground and a smashing sound.

The staff members who passed by the door of the director's office were silent and did not dare to say anything.
