Chapter 1: Newcomers
In early summer, CY City is still brightly lit even after 11 o'clock in the evening.
On the corner of the pedestrian street, a supermarket is still open.
This is a very small supermarket, with an area of less than 80 square meters, and there are several shelves in the store, selling some common convenience food, tea and drinks and other daily necessities.
The whole store is very clean and bright, and many of the facilities can be seen to be new.
Bu Yu is the night cashier of this supermarket, because it is close to the end of work at this time, so there is only one person in the supermarket.
"Drop! Drip! Drip! ”
A few prompt sounds sounded in the silent mind, and the reason why it sounded in his head and not in his ears was that the voice did appear in the depths of the silent mind, and even if someone stood in front of him at this time, he would not hear the slightest sound.
As these tones sounded, a message appeared in front of his eyes.
"System message: The SC543 copy is loading, you have been drawn into it, this copy is a B-level survival type copy, please arrive at the designated place within an hour, the copy story mission will be issued through the system later, please pay attention to check."
"System message: If you can't arrive before the dungeon is opened, you will be forcibly erased by the system!"
"Sure enough...... It's true. ”
At this time, he froze in place, his face gloomy as if he was about to drip water.
......
Thirty minutes later, Silence appeared at the location indicated in the system prompt.
This is the most famous five-star hotel in CY City, but the golden hotel that used to be decorated with various lights is now dark.
There was a hint of hesitation on Bu Yu's face, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and slowly walked into the hotel lobby.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen foreigners in the hotel lobby, and in addition, there were four people lying on the ground, three men and one woman.
The dozen or so foreigners in the field seemed to be silent and the four people on the ground, each on guard.
"Are they all newcomers? ...... That's really ...... mmp! Bu Yu frowned, looked at the people present, and muttered.
Twenty minutes before the countdown to the hour, the scene around the hall changed rapidly, turning into a moving carriage.
And the four people who fainted on the ground also slowly woke up at this time.
"What is this place? How did I end up here? The only woman among the four asked, silent.
Without waiting for a silent answer, another message came into view.
"System News: Background overview of this survival copy, in the bioengineering laboratory of Ambrera Inc.-"Hive", hundreds of genetics and bioengineering experts are conducting a scientific research, a virus suddenly broke out and spread rapidly, and the supercomputer "Flame Queen" in order to control the virus and prevent it from leaking to the ground, sealed all the hives, and the virus quickly infected all the staff. ”
"System Message: Win condition, after the Hive is opened, survive it until the end of the dungeon. ”
"System message: Quest end rules: First, the player completes the main quest, isolates the virus of all personnel in the "Hive", blocks all channels between the "Hive" and the outside world, and obtains the motherboard of the Flame Queen. Second, kill all players and end the dungeon. Third, hold on until the end of the dungeon time, and the dungeon opening time is three hours. ”
What does this information mean? Does that mean we're in the game right now? Is there such technology now? A young man with glasses and a student-like face next to the woman said excitedly.
"I'm sorry, you guessed wrong, this is the world we usually live in, here, you will be hurt, you will be in pain, and you will die." Silent said calmly.
The young man who looked like a student sneered, "Who is the tiger, who hasn't seen the movie?" This is obviously the plot of the movie Resident Evil I. ”
For the ridicule of the young man, he didn't say anything or care, looked at the four people in the field, and said slowly, "We only have eighteen minutes, I'll only say it once, you can hear it clearly." ”
"Actually, the world we live in is just a game ......"
"Hmph, didn't you just say it's not a game? How did it become a game again? The young man said with a mocking expression.
"Listen to me, the game I'm talking about is not the same as what you understand!"
"Fart.......
"Let him finish his sentence!" When the young student was about to say something, the woman next to him hurriedly grabbed him and motioned to continue talking.
The other two men on the side also persuaded them, signaling to listen to what they had to say first.
As adults, their thinking is far from being comparable to that of a Secondary 2 student.
"When I say the world we live in, I mean the world you usually live in with your family, and those are just games, and we are some of the characters in the game."
"You all received the prompt from the system just now."
Although the four of them were all ridiculous at the silent statement, they still nodded.
"Dungeon end rules: First, players complete the main quest, isolate the virus of all personnel in the "Hive", block all channels between the "Hive" and the outside world, and obtain the motherboard of the Flame Empress. Second, kill all players and end the dungeon. ”
"This is the original text of the system notification, the player mentioned in the article, with the aforementioned table, you don't think it refers to us, right?"
"According to the aforementioned article, it really doesn't mean us." The answer was a tall, middle-aged man among the three men.
The woman on the side couldn't help nodding slightly, only the young student and the big-bellied middle-aged man next to him were still disapproving.
"The players here refer to the lives that create our 'game', and we are the special characters who are selected from many NPCs to participate in the game and increase the sense of experience of those 'players'."
"Nonsense, is this some kind of emerging scam? Do you think you can fool us with just a few words? The middle-aged man with a big belly said mockingly.
The student youth beside him also looked silent with a sneer.
"Believe it or not, that's your business, I'm just telling you about the situation we're in, okay, there's no time, listen to me, for those 'players', we are the hidden easter eggs in this game, therefore, after they come, you must not expose to them that we are people who live in this world, and you must not reveal any plot developments about this quest to them."
"Why is that? Although I can't believe you yet, according to the system prompt just now, doesn't it mean that as long as the 'player' completes the mission, our survival quest will be passed, in that case, why don't we use our advantage to understand the development of the plot and help them complete the mission? The woman said with a frown.
"Because this Resident Evil is a movie in our world, it doesn't exist in the world of 'players', so it's impossible for 'players' to know the next plot development, if we directly tell them what will happen next, it is very likely that we will be directly suspected of being NPCs, and we will be killed directly."
"If, if what you're saying is true, then, will we be able to go back to our old lives by passing this dungeon?" The woman stood up and asked slowly.
"No way, once you understand the truth of this world, you will be asked to enter various copies one after another in the future." Silent sneered.
"Is there really no way?" The woman said in frustration.
"I mean, you really believe his nonsense." The young student said with disdain on his face.
"But, but, have you seen this technology before? Giving tasks directly in our heads? Select character attributes? Learning the starting skills? The woman asked loudly.
The young student was stunned when asked, and muttered, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." ”
"In fact, if you want to go back to the past, it's not impossible." The woman on the side was silent, looking at the woman who broke out, and said slowly.
"How?" This time, it was not just the woman, but the four people present all focused their eyes on the silent body.
"Die, as long as you die in this dungeon, the world ...... Let's call him the system...... Based on your previous memories, the system will make a copy of a person who is exactly like you and continue to live, while all memories of participating in the copy will disappear completely. ”
"Copy the memory, another me...... Is that still me? The tall middle-aged man muttered.
And right now.
"System prompt: The quest is 100% loaded, and the player is starting to load."
......
