Chapter 001: Puppet Crisis, Card Apocalypse
What is life?
For as long as he can remember, Qin Fen has been thinking about this not a simple question repeatedly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After graduating from university, Qin Fen worked as a low-level technician in the workshop of an electronics factory, and he really couldn't understand the meaning of his current life.
Probably staying in the factory almost every day and night is the only life he has now.
Is there a way out of this?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is eating and waiting for death.
Qin Fen, who was squatting in the lounge smoking a cigarette, quietly spit out a puff of smoked smoke rings, and had already fallen into deep thought.
"Hey! Qin Fen! ”
At this time, a hand suddenly slapped Qin Fen's shoulder from behind.
"Huh?" Qin Fen suddenly trembled, and his eyes stared at him without warning.
"Ha, isn't it, you're such a big reaction? I didn't mean to scare you. A yellow-haired young man in a factory uniform in the back looked at Qin Fen's slightly hideous side face in astonishment.
Ignoring the yellow-haired young man behind him, Qin Fen gradually became expressionless, then took a deep breath, and quickly took out his mobile phone to check the time, and couldn't help whispering: "March 31, 2021, 6 pm...... There's only 2 hours left......"
The yellow-haired young man asked confusedly, "What are you doing?" It's time to break, and it's time to go to work in the workshop. ”
"Going to work?" Qin Fen's face was full of strangeness, and he immediately pushed away the yellow-haired young man's hand, ignoring the shouts behind him, and ran towards the outside of the lounge.
Just more than twenty seconds ago, Qin Fen, who was originally thinking about the meaning of life, suddenly had an unfamiliar memory about the 'future' in his brain.
To be precise, it should be a memory of myself that belongs to the 'future', and I even saw some terrifying memory fragments in it......
It was the end of the world.
That's right!
This strange memory in my brain gives a very accurate answer, at 8 o'clock in the evening on March 31, 2021, the whole world will usher in the end!
Of course, it was not the end of all humanity, but the extinction of most ordinary humans and animals.
If that memory is true, then in about 2 hours, all kinds of extreme weather will sweep the world, and there will be mass riots in various countries around the world, and then most of humanity will start coughing, and eventually become a cold, murderous puppet......
Murderous puppets!
What does it take for a puppet to kill a life?
It's incredible, but that's exactly what happened in that memory.
The joints of the bodies of humans and animals mutated into puppets move freely, and the killing methods are extremely cruel, and any living life will be attacked by their madness, even ......
All the survivors who are killed will also mutate at the moment when they are completely cut off from life, and thus become a cold, ruthless puppet who is only interested in hunting.
This sounds a lot like the scene in Resident Evil, but the 'protagonist' has changed from a zombie to a puppet, and the so-called zombies in many movies are simply a bunch of waste in front of the puppets, except for their disgusting appearance, they can't be compared to those brutal puppets in other aspects.
This is not only secondary, but more importantly, at the moment of the end of the world, many survivors who have not mutated will have an extra card-shaped blood mark on their eyebrows, and will gain a strange ability that has never been seen before......
That's it - manipulate the cards!
Faced with a large number of murderous puppets, it is difficult for most survivors to survive their hunt, but once they have the ability to manipulate cards, the situation is very different!
After the end of the world, countless small meteorites will fall from the sky and scatter to all corners of the world, and survivors with the ability to manipulate cards can collect the cards attached to the small meteorites from all over the world, and then summon the heroes in the cards through this ability, so that they can use the power of the cards to fight against nearly 6 billion puppets.
In this way, the survivors who have the ability to manipulate cards are called 'card disciples', and they become the last remaining main force of human beings.
But there is a price to be paid for everything!
If you want to summon a card, you must sacrifice a large amount of blood in your body.
In that 'future' memory, there were some cardholders who were sucked into dry corpses because of excessive summoning of cards, so blood-replenishing food, medicine, and nutrition became some of the most sought-after things in that last days.
If that's all there is, then the situation in this apocalyptic world is not too bad, but the reality will always be more cruel than imagined, the competition between the card disciples is far more fierce than anyone previously imagined, in order to compete for the powerful cards with high points, the card disciples use all kinds of despicable means, even at the expense of the few remaining of the same kind.
The most helpless thing is that every year that passes in the last days, the power of the puppet will be doubled and enhanced, and the group of card disciples with the lowest card comprehensive points will be forced to deduct most of the blood in their bodies, which will directly lead to a surge in conflicts between card disciples and card disciples, otherwise they will not be able to survive from the end times.
A low card overall score means blood loss or even death!
Probably no one can resist such fears......
Therefore, Qin Fen, who had predicted the 'future' in advance, rushed out of the factory desperately, and took advantage of the opportunity of two hours left before the outbreak of the end of the world to quickly call a taxi and prepare to pave the way for himself.
If the end of the world really exists and there is no error in memory, then in the highest office building in the urban area of Chuhe City, a small meteorite carrying a powerful card will fall past.
As long as you squat in advance and grab that powerful card at the moment when the end of the world comes, then the early stage of the end of the world can pass more easily, right?
In that period of 'future' memory, just like the pre-apocalyptic self, he is still doing nothing, even if he becomes a card disciple who is the envy of ordinary survivors, he has never been able to get a good card, and his luck is extremely bad!
In the end, the 'future' self was cornered by a powerful card disciple, and committed suicide in a tragic way surrounded by countless puppets!
After all, if you are killed by a puppet, you will become a new puppet, so in that case, anyone can only choose to kill themselves.
As for how that 'future' memory came to his brain, he didn't know.
Now his mind is full of only thinking about changing the tragic fate of his 'previous life', and he must not repeat the mistakes of the past!
This! You have to get powerful cards!
With an unshakable determination, Qin Fen, who was sitting in the back seat of the taxi, couldn't help but urge the driver: "Master! Please hurry up again! I'm in a hurry! ”
"Huh, didn't you see that?" The driver glanced at Qin Fen lazily, "It's the rush hour after work, and the intersections in front are blocked." ”
"Blocked?" Qin Fen stretched his neck to look at the road in front of him, only to see that several intersections in the distance were blocked by vehicles, although a group of traffic police were sweating profusely in the middle of the road to command, but it was difficult to have an effect for a while.
"I'll make it." Qin Fen scolded in a low voice, threw out ten yuan from his pocket, hurriedly opened the car door and ran in the direction of the city, not forgetting to observe the surroundings, wanting to get a two-wheeled riding tool and hurry up to the office building.
At this time, Qin Fen saw a middle school student passing by on a bicycle, he hurriedly stopped him, and without thinking about it, he took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed it, "The money is all for you!" Buy you this bike! I'm in a hurry! ”
Without waiting for the shocked middle school student to say anything, Qin Fen grabbed the dilapidated bicycle and pedaled frantically.
However, after Qin Fen rode for less than half an hour, the chain of the bicycle actually fell off!
At the critical moment, the chain was dropped!
Where the hell did this sister buy a knockoff?!
"Ahh Qin Fen felt frenzied, and in a hurry, he repaired the chain, and it took five minutes of busy work to barely fix it, and then continued to ride on the road.
I don't know if God deliberately went against him, not to mention that the road was blocked by vehicles along the way, and even the streets were crowded with people and it was difficult to ride fast, not to mention that this dilapidated bicycle often fell off the chain.
After a delay of nearly an hour, Qin Fen, who was out of breath, arrived near his destination and finally saw the tallest office building in the city.
"Whew, whew...... It's 7:53?! It's only 7 minutes! Qin Fen took out his mobile phone to check his mobile phone, and at the same time ran to the elevator on the first floor of the office building with a violent breath, praying in his heart that he must catch up with the time! Otherwise, it's 100% over!
After all, there are at least a hundred people currently staying in this office building, and once the end of the world really comes, then these more than 100 people will mutate into cold and brutal puppets, and once he doesn't catch up with the arrival of that powerful card, he will definitely be surrounded and killed by the puppets in the office building.
As long as he thought about Qin Fen, he felt shuddered, and when he was about to run to the elevator entrance, the front desk manager who chased after him grabbed Qin Fen's arm, wanting to verify Qin Fen's identity.
"Hey! Are you here to make trouble? If you mess around again, I'm going to call security!" The front desk manager yelled with a straight face.
"That's embarrassing!" Qin Fen pushed the front desk manager away and responded with a louder roar: "I am the illegitimate son of your chairman!" I'm in a hurry to see my dad now! ”
"Chairman?! Are you sure you're the chairman's son? The front desk manager's eyes widened, and he was frightened by Qin Fen's irritable momentum for a while.
"That's right! You're going back to work for me now! There will be a chance for you to be cool in the future! Of course, Qin Fen can't be the son of the chairman, it's just a mess of dealing with the front desk manager, otherwise would he still need to work in the factory?
As for his real father, he has been divorced from his mother for many years and has started their own families, so how can he take care of this pair of parents who treat marriage and family as child's play, and can only let his parents ask for more blessings.
Bite!
After the elevator door opened, Qin Fen rushed in with his legs, and pressed the 39th floor and close button with both hands.
If memory serves, the small meteorite with a powerful card will smash into the 40th floor, and for the sake of insurance, he naturally can't go directly to the 40th floor, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to be stoned to death by the small meteorite.
