Chapter 002: Towards the End of the World
A soft sound of "Di~" appeared in the mind of Yue Rong, who was eating Haisai, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
"The self-inspection of the medical corps' equipment has been completed." It wasn't until this voice appeared again that Yue Rong was stunned, and he turned his head to look around but didn't see the person speaking.
"The result of the user's physique analysis is extremely poor, and the physique improvement function is turned on; Open··· Level 1 survival protection function; Turn on basic communication functions; Turn on the search detection function··· The search detection function cannot be turned on; Open··· Medical functions cannot be turned on. ”
That voice rang in Yue Rong's mind, he swung as if he had been electrocuted, trembling and almost unable to sit still, his body seemed to be pierced back and forth by thousands of steel needles, and the pain was unbearable and he almost wanted to faint.
"Who are you?" Yue Rong spit out a few words with difficulty, his heart was horrified, and he finally managed to control himself from falling while holding on to the edge of the table with both hands.
The voice of "Medical Soldier Equipment" had no emotional color, and it echoed in Yue Rong's mind, which seemed extremely weird.
"What's that? How did it end up in my head? Yue Rong was a little frightened, after surviving the initial pain, he was now finally able to control his balance, but the muscles and muscles in his body were still twitching inexplicably, and he couldn't control it at all.
"Medic equipment, the main body is on the user's left arm."
Hearing this, Yue Rong raised his arm and lifted his sleeves, only then did he see that on his left arm, there was an extra "tattoo" at some point, with complex patterns, similar to some ancient totem. Before he could take a closer look at the patterns, the "tattoo" began to emit a pale blue glow, and it turned out of thin air into a three-dimensional display of blue light, which appeared in front of his eyes.
All kinds of dense data that Yue Rong couldn't understand, as Yue Rong's gaze moved, they were highlighted separately, which was very magical. Moreover, this object, which resembles stereoscopic projection, has no weight and touch, and is full of science fiction.
"Why are you on my left arm?" Yue Rong was very surprised, and he couldn't remember at all when this thing ran up to his left arm.
"Your mental power fluctuates, the most consistent matching frequency, and the system has been bound."
"Me?! Then I was born again because of you? Yue Rong suddenly thought of a reason that could be explained.
"Yes, the equipment deviated from the predetermined time period, and after binding to you, the system automatically corrected it." Its answer confirmed Yue Rong's conjecture.
"So, where are you from? What are the features? And what is the purpose of binding you and me? Yue Rong asked, his life experience told him that there is no such thing as pie in the sky in the world.
This "medical equipment" was silent for a moment before answering Yue Rong's question, "The system cannot translate for the time being, and the user can understand that the medical equipment comes from a high-dimensional civilization." In the functional part, users can check it by themselves. The purpose is to help the human civilization on the earth, resist chewing and fuse the Zerg. ”
"You mean the bugs! Will the end times come? Zombies and bugs? Yue Rong was cold all over his body, the experience of the last days was unbearable, he selectively wanted to forget those things, but this thing reminded him that the end times and those man-eating insects would still come, and everything now was just a good dream, and it would disappear in a blink of an eye.
"Yes, you must defend against the invasion of the Zerg, otherwise the high-latitude civilization may choose to wipe out this area." Its words made Yue Rong's heart fall to the bottom, he didn't care what high-latitude civilization erased this area, that word was too abstract and didn't seem terrible, but the zombies and insects in the last days were what he saw with his own eyes.
In the last days, ordinary people like him were not as good as dogs, had no dignity, no hope, and even if they died, they would be reduced to food, eaten by other living people or insects, and their bones would be gone.
Yue Rong felt that he didn't have any strength in his body, he held his head for a half and didn't say anything, and his heart was like numbness.
"No, I can't be eaten! I don't want to live like a dog! I want to be strong, I want to protect my family and friends, I want to live like a human being! Yue Rong shouted in his heart.
"What should I do? What can I do? How much time do I have left? Yue Rong yelled eagerly at his arm, causing the diners next to him to turn their heads to look at him, they couldn't see the blue glowing "medical soldier equipment", thinking that he was yelling at the table, and they all guessed that this person was crazy? Or is it a neurosis?
"There is no relevant data and it cannot be analyzed. The arrival time of the Zerg exploration team on Earth is expected to be 45 days later. The medical soldier equipment did not have any emotional answer, which made Yue Rong stunned, the time it said was almost the same as the time when the plague occurred, could it be the plague brought by the insects, the zombies created?
"Hello, can I help with anything?" A waiter came over to ask, interrupting Yue Rong's train of thought. He raised his head when he heard this, only then did he notice the strange stares cast by the diners around him, he hurriedly put his left hand under the table, blocked it with a table cloth, smiled reluctantly at the waiter, and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
The waiter left with a suspicious look, Yue Rong secretly looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he whispered: "You have eliminated the blue light, don't let people see it, I am talking in my heart, can you hear me?" ”
"The display function is turned off. The system can't tell the neurons in your brain, and can only recognize them by how you vibrate your vocal cords or how you communicate by handwriting. ”
When Yue Rong heard this, he felt that this thing didn't seem to be as advanced as he imagined. He took his left hand out from under the table, and when he saw that there was no more blue light, he pretended to be calm and wanted to eat a little more, but he felt that the dish that had tasted wonderful was now as difficult to swallow as chewing wax when he put it in his mouth.
Yue Rong paid the money and came out of the restaurant, but he didn't know where to go for a while. Go home? He didn't want to go back to where he was now. The 6-square-meter cubicle deep in the basement was dark and damp, and there was always a lingering musty smell. The days he lived there once made him feel like an ant living in this metropolis, strangely small and humble.
Go back to your hometown? There are only 45 days before the end of the world, Yue Rong misses his family, and he wants his family and relatives and friends to live in the end times! But as a grassroots person, he felt powerless and helpless, "What should I do? Yue Rong asked himself.
"Why did you say that the bugs came to Earth? Oh, by the way, was that plague the ghost of bugs? Yue Rong walked to the bus stop, he was going to go back to pack some things and come out to stay in the hotel at night. The end of the world is coming, he doesn't need to be harsh on himself, no matter how much money he leaves, it will be all waste paper by then.
The medics were silent again for a long time before they answered, "The Zerg are the enemies of all civilizations, and there is not enough information on unknown plagues to analyze. ”
Its empty answer made Yue Rong lose interest in continuing to communicate with it, and the huge pressure on his face made him have to think about the future survival of himself and his relatives and friends.
The rickety bus stops and goes in the city at night, and the figures under the neon lights are reflected like ghosts. Yue Rong looked at the world outside the car window and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. He wants to save everyone, but who can he save?
"I want to forget about you······" The mobile phone on Yue Rong's body sounded music, he took out the mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, and suddenly in the dusty memory, he recalled one thing, a chance that might allow him and his family and friends to survive in the last days!
It was on this evening that his brother called him to wish him a happy birthday and advised him to go home to work with his parents. And he was half drunk, and he refused his brother's kindness at that time, and since then he has missed the opportunity to see his family again. On that phone call, his brother had mentioned an incident that was enough for him to change his current predicament!
"Gangzi, is your unit's machining branch engaged in a joint-stock system?" As soon as the phone was connected, Yue Rong couldn't wait to ask.
"Huh?! Oh, yes. Yue Gang on the other side of the phone was suddenly asked by his brother, and he didn't react for a while, so he answered casually.
"I'll be home tomorrow, thank you for calling me to wish me a happy birthday, help me bring it to my parents, and we'll talk when I get back." Yue Rong was a little excited, feeling that God had opened another window when he closed a door for him.
Yue Gang didn't understand the situation at all, looked at the phone that was hung up, scratched his head, and was a little confused, "Did I tell him happy birthday?" ”
Once a person has a goal, he will not be confused, and he will have the motivation to move forward. Yue Rong is like this, he found the possibility of sheltering his family and relatives and friends, and instantly burst out with infinite enthusiasm and motivation.
Following this line of thought, he thought about the best way out he could think of for the time being, moving towards the end times!
