Text Chapter 3, World of Warcraft
Taking off the helmet, Liu Wei'an lay on the bed and didn't move, but immediately felt that something was wrong, the usual sense of weakness was gone, and he was still full of energy, thinking of the two white crystals he ate today, he immediately understood what was going on.
When I opened my eyes, the room was dim, and today I was at least an hour and a half later than usual, and when I pressed the switch, the fluorescent lamp emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the room as bright as day, and two figures, one large and one small, appeared in front of me. Liu Wei'an was not surprised, but just asked, 'Why didn't you turn on the lights when it was dark?' ’
The eldest and the younger are both women, the older one is about thirty years old, and the younger one is about eleven years old, and they all have the same characteristic, thinness, the kind of long-term malnutrition thinness, as if a gust of wind can blow down, because there is no flesh on the face, it seems that the two eyes are particularly large.
There were many red spots on the faces and exposed skin of the two women, some of which were already red, swollen and suppurated, and they looked very terrifying, but Liu Wei'an regarded them as usual.
This is a pair of wandering mother and daughter, and by chance, they saved Liu Wei'an's life, so Liu Wei'an took in this mother and daughter after surviving the crisis. Originally, Liu Wei'an couldn't support himself and was not qualified to take in others, but at that time, if he didn't take in the two, the two would definitely be killed as virus spreaders.
However, Liu Wei'an knew that the symptoms on the two seemed to be smallpox, but they were not contagious.
Mother Zhao Nannan, the little girl's mother's surname, is called Zhao Xin, it should be hoped that she can thrive and grow up happily, but it is obvious that the reality has ruined this good wish.
"Mom said to save electricity." Zhao Xin said crisply, the expression on his face was the surprise of seeing Liu Wei'an wake up, and he felt a little inferior, because of the spots on his face. Zhao Nannan's face is very beautiful, the lines are smooth, and the facial features are exquisite, if it is not for the dense red spots, she must be a first-class beauty, her eyes are melancholy, she just strokes Zhao Xin's hair with her hand, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.
Liu Wei sighed with peace of mind and got out of bed.
It's a room that's only ten square meters in size, and once you put down a bed, there's not much space. There were no windows, and the large iron doors had already rusted due to the dampness, but fortunately the fluorescent lights were quite bright. There was a dilapidated bedside table at the head of the bed, and when he opened the drawer, there were only two measuring tubes in it, and Liu Wei'an immediately understood the reason for Zhao Nannan's melancholy eyes.
Energy tube, the most basic energy that sustains vital activities. The essence extracted from food is colorless and tasteless, and can only ensure that people do not starve to death. It is the thing that most of the poor as well as slaves guarantee their lives.
By standard, one tube can only sustain one day's vital activity, but for most of the poor and slaves, it is a happy thing to be able to take one tube for an average of three days. Many slaves even take one for five days, because of the lack of energy, the result is that they have to sleep for a long time to minimize energy consumption, but in this way, they can't work, they can't make money, they get poorer and poorer, it's a vicious circle.
Zhao Nannan's mother and daughter have not taken the energy tube for three days, Zhao Nannan can insist, but Zhao Xin can't, she is developing her body, but Zhao Nannan doesn't dare to let her take it, because the one who needs the energy tube the most is Liu Wei'an, Liu Wei'an wants to enter the World of Warcraft to make money, if he doesn't have physical strength, he will definitely die, and Liu Wei'an is the only source of life for the three of them.
Liu Wei'an's eyes swept over the mother and daughter, there was emotion and pity in his eyes, and more hatred for the injustice of this world, but these emotions were just fleeting, and he said, "I'll go out for a while." ”
The mother and daughter were startled at the same time, Zhao Xin's face showed fear, Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Be careful." ”
Liu Wei'an nodded and went out.
It was supposed to be between six o'clock in the evening and the starting point, but it was already as dark as late at night, the wind was howling, the cold was biting, and the temperature was pitifully low. Liu Wei'an tightened the thin tattered clothes on his body, his eyes were firm, and he strode over.
This is no longer the Earth, but Mars, Mars in 3017, although it has been here for three months, it still can't adapt to the climate and environment here.
Three months ago he was still on Earth, although he was in an orphanage, at least he still had food, books to read, and friends around, but fate played a joke on him.
On a dark night, the usually amiable dean called him out, after which he was loaded into a car and taken away, became a murderer, and was sentenced to exile to Saturn, never to return. He was still ignorant at first, until he got on the spaceship bound for Saturn, and suddenly realized that he had taken the bag on behalf of others.
Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up. However, fate seems to have heard his prayers, when the spaceship traveled to the vicinity of Mars, it met a space pirate, and the hijacking of the plane happened once in ten years, a fierce battle, the spaceship fell into the slave area of Mars, Liu Wei'an took advantage of the chaos to escape, and took a game helmet with his hand. That is, in the process of escaping, I met the mother and daughter who picked up garbage for a living, at that time, the mother and daughter were dirty, their faces were rotten and sore, and the stench was bursting, Liu Wei'an hid under Zhao Nannan's skirt and escaped the most dangerous search. After that, he traveled day and night, came to the border between the slave ghetto and the ghetto, and with the money he had received, rented a basement, and settled down.
A month ago, when he came out to buy daily necessities, he saw the mother and daughter, and for some reason they wandered here, although the slum area is not much better than the slave area, but the management is much stricter, people like Zhao Nannan's mother and daughter who carry suspected infectious diseases will be forcibly arrested, and if there is resistance, they may be killed on the spot. Liu Wei'an was grateful for their life-saving grace and quietly took him back to his residence.
A month has passed, and the consumption of three people is more than double that of one person, although all three of them try to save, but they have also reached the point of exhaustion.
World of Warcraft, it's not that easy to mix.
World of Warcraft is a real world, the difference is that it is in another time and space, and one thing that is certain is definitely not the solar system.
In 2717, after an extremely prosperous period, mankind finally inevitably entered a recession, with the earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn overcrowded, and all kinds of contradictions erupted, including the gap between the rich and the poor, class contradictions, partisan struggles, national strife, underground forces, and terrorists...... These dissatisfactions are like water in a pressure cooker, boiling, boiling, boiling, and finally banging, the pressure cooker is fried.
The war first started on Saturn, soon spread to Jupiter, and finally Mars, and then the birthplace of mankind, the earth, the Great War for a year, almost blew up the planet, countless people died tragically, and the population was reduced by one-third.
The scientific and technological development of the earth has long rushed out of the solar system, and the search for hundreds of years has not found aliens, but at the most unexpected time, aliens have appeared.
The nature of war has changed, from civil war to defense against aggression. After a decade of life-and-death struggle, the aliens were successfully repelled, and Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn became devastated, full of radiation, and the population plummeted to less than one thousandth of what it was at its peak.
Technological civilization was almost defeated back to the primitive society, and that war was known as the war of the end times.
After three hundred years of development, science and technology have returned to the level of 2717, but the planets ravaged by the Great War have never been able to recover to their original level, hundreds of years have passed, radiation is still serious, large areas have become forbidden areas, species mutations, monsters are rampant, but these are small problems, the real big problem is that after thousands of years of indiscriminate mining, the resources of the planets of the solar system have been almost exhausted, and the nine planets of the solar system have been swept over, but they have not found many resources, and they almost rushed to the sun.
Lack of resources is the biggest problem facing humanity urgently.
Just when the rulers of the three empires decided to activate the 'weeding' program, an unexpected event occurred. The so-called 'weeding' program is to remove the weeds from the human race, because the weeds are useless, but they absorb nutrients, and the so-called weeds are the slaves and the poor and the criminals in the human race.
After the apocalyptic war, the former states of the solar system have vanished and been replaced by the new three great empires, the Han Dynasty, the Mayan Empire, and the Atlantean Federation. For some historical reasons, human beings have been re-classified, from the highest to the bottom, nobles, citizens, commoners, and slaves.
Slaves have basically no rights, only the fate of being slaughtered.
The event that put the 'weeding' plan on hold is World of Warcraft, the 'black hole' plan jointly researched by the three empires exploded during the experiment, under normal circumstances, the explosion must have failed, but this time the situation is a bit special, the 'black hole' plan is a failure, but it has obtained a by-product, World of Warcraft.
The 'Black Hole Project' failed, but it connected to an unknown world, this world is dominated by Warcraft, and the important thing is that it is rich in resources, three times that of the solar system before it was mined, there is no doubt that the resources of Warcraft can support humans for at least three hundred years.
So a game called 'Plunder' was born.
As mentioned earlier, the black hole project is essentially a failure, so in terms of 'plunder', there are many flaws, for example, the human body cannot enter the World of Warcraft, and even cannot carry any items into it, only through the game helmet, in the form of brain waves, enter the World of Warcraft, and then through the image of the mind, generate real people.
Real people are exactly the same as the real world, and there is no difference in physique and intelligence. The only difference is that the human body generated in World of Warcraft can be resurrected after death, however, the resurrection is limited, the time is very long, and it takes a month for normal people.
One of the biggest features of the 'plunder' game is that it can teleport the things in the World of Warcraft to the human world through the cosmic black hole, but it is only limited to inanimate items, although it is not ideal, but for human beings, it is a great news, because the meat, plants, minerals and other items in the World of Warcraft can be continuously teleported to the human world, and the crisis of human resource depletion has been alleviated at once.
Liu Wei'an's thoughts were wandering, but the speed under his feet was getting faster and faster, and after ten minutes, he came to a commercial area, and the atmosphere became lively.
