Chapter Eighty-Eight: Virtual Worlds#
Qi Min didn't know how she was connected to the brain-like body, and she didn't know when she was in a coma.
I just feel that there is wind around me, not cold, not warm, no smell.
When she opened her eyes again with difficulty, she found that her vision was empty, and there was nothing to rely on, only a clear blue sky. However, when she turned her head/looked to the back, she found herself falling in free fall from high altitude.
Qi Min was so frightened that his heartbeat doubled, and he spun around in the air several times in a panic, but fortunately he touched a rope on his side, on which a sign was hung with the words "Open the umbrella" written in red letters. Touching the skydiving bag behind her back, Qi Min hurriedly pulled the rope hard, and then two strong forces pulled her up from her shoulders - the umbrella opened, and the reverse acceleration made her free fall gradually slow down.
Qi Min subconsciously felt that the real skydiving should not be like this, but at this time she didn't have the energy to care about those things. After the fall stabilized, Qi Min saw that the distant ground below seemed to be a circular city, the buildings surrounded by layers like a labyrinth showed a cyberpunk blue-purple color, and the center of the city was a hemispherical dome that seemed to be highly transparent glass, emitting a warm yellow light.
She finally realized that this was the "world" in the brain-like body—or rather, the imaginary world constructed by Mimi's consciousness after entering the brain-like body.
However, Qi Min was a little surprised that her daughter was able to construct such a large area, but given the uniformity of the buildings surrounding the outer ring, the orientation of this scene is still very obvious: it is obvious to attract people to the dome in the center.
The logic is very simple, and Qi Min doesn't know if Mimi's consciousness has gone out of the brain-like body at this time, and she can't seem to make any other choice, so she can only go to the central dome first.
She thought she could control the direction of the parachute, which was not aerodynamic, and landed directly in the center, but it turned out that the skydiving techniques in the mobile game could not only be translated into actual experience, but also could not even be controlled by the fictional parachute in the imaginary world. Qi Min tossed for a long time, but still landed in a place quite close to the outer circle.
After landing, it took a lot of effort to get out of the umbrella, and after cutting the parachute rope with a paratrooper knife, Qi Min looked up and found that the blue-purple buildings here were not as short as they looked in mid-air. Although it may be that the little girl could not imagine the specific appearance of the buildings, these "buildings" only have dark square windows and no doors at all, but they are at least forty or fifty meters high, and the distance between the buildings is not even five meters, and it is impossible not to feel depressing to walk in such alleys.
And in addition to being depressing, it also makes people feel horrible.
From the beginning of the skydive, Qi Min felt a little bad, and the "city" that landed seemed to have a guiding effect that led people to the central dome, which made Qi Min have to think of a game of eating chicken. She doesn't know what the game she and Anton play looks like in Mimi's eyes, but if Mimi's "inspiration" really comes from games, she may not have so smooth on her journey.
Qi Min cautiously walked through the alley between the buildings and walked in the direction of the central dome. Sure enough, within ten meters, she saw an automatic rifle and a magazine appear on the ground.
Qi Min picked up the automatic rifle and inserted the magazine on his back. She had used a pistol in the United States before, and she had no idea how heavy the rifle should be, and she didn't know if Mimi's imaginary rifle weight was realistic. However, in this "world", her physical fitness seems to have been somewhat enhanced.
Walking through the alley, she soon heard clear and slow footsteps on her right. Qi Min picked up the gun and squatted in the corner. Fortunately, she learned to use an air rifle in a shooting class when she was in college, and she was able to use a rifle backwards.
However, when the black-purple humanoid "animal" appeared in Qi Min's field of vision, she was still taken aback.
This thing doesn't look like the image of the player in the chicken game at all, but like a zombie that has been very specialized in "Resident Evil", but has the outline of a human being, and no facial features can be seen at all. Fortunately, it didn't have any weapons on it, and at such a close distance, Qi Min hit it in the head with a single shot.
The humanoid was shot through the head, and the cavity effect caused its head to resemble a watermelon hammered through by a trumpet hammer, and fell from its torso.
Qi Min couldn't help but take a step back, for fear that the purple "blood" it splashed would splash on him. Although there is no such thing as an infectious disease in the brain-like body, humans are innate with a fear of rotting and sick things.
It's just that she was a little surprised that Mimi could imagine such a real "zombie" after being hit.
This world is really not good, but Mimi is very likely to be here, and Qi Min's heart tightens at the thought that her daughter may be facing such a deadly thing. Gotta find Mimi quickly.
But Mimi is not necessarily in the "circle" of the central dome, and Qi Min thinks by feeling that since this is the equivalent of a world of data generation in the brain-like body, there must be a way to locate all the "players". But she didn't know where to see the map and other "player" stats, and since there was a "zombie" around, there would inevitably be other of the same kind, so it was imperative to get to know about it.
Thinking so, Qi Min went around to the front of the building, found a dark window and looked in, and saw a yellow sodium lamp inside. Qi Min rolled into the window, the hiking boots on his feet made a clicking sound on the metal floor, the square room was extremely empty, there was not even a door, but there was a desktop computer with an old-fashioned cathode ray monitor in the corner.
Qi Min walked over and saw that the display screen of the desktop computer was placed on an old wooden table, and the screen displayed a wide-angle black and white field of view that seemed to be a surveillance video closed-circuit television, and the little girl sitting on the ground crying in the center of the field of vision turned out to be Mimi!
“Mimi!” Qi Min hurriedly shouted, opening the wooden table drawer, but there was no keyboard and mouse, only a pair of headsets. She hurriedly put on her headset: "Mimi! Can you hear me? ”
"Mom!" Mimi immediately stood up to find someone at the sound of the voice, limping around, but always in the center of the field of vision.
"Mimi, can you describe what's around you?" Qi Min hurriedly said, "Mom will go to you immediately!" ”
The little girl spun around with tears in her eyes and said hesitantly, "I seem to be ...... In a glass ball...... No, it's half a glass ball......"
The glass hemisphere, which should be in the central dome. Qi Min breathed a sigh of relief, now that according to the logic of this game, the central dome should be relatively safe.
"Alright—well, you wait there now, Mommy will be right over!" Qi Min said comfortingly.
"Mom...... Don't leave ......," Mimi cried.
"Mimi, mom will be over right away." Qi Min tried to calm his voice, "In one more - ten minutes, if my mother doesn't arrive, I'll find a way to contact you." ”
