Chapter 68: The End of the Prologue, Free Exploration (2 chapters to 1)
97th floor.
The cub always bent his waist, held the bat, and walked cautiously in the bright corridor.
All the way down from the top floor, he didn't linger on any of the floors.
Instead, I went down to the 97th floor non-stop and began to look for room 9720 here.
In my head, I recall the words on the radio.
[They, don't die.] Whether you use a gun or a knife, even if you cut off their heads or cut off their limbs, they will grow back later. ]
[How they got here, I don't know.] I only saw a green shell exploding not far away, so our country will be more clear. ]
[Don't go toe-to-toe with them.] You're not a warrior, you're just a normal person. They don't reveal any equipment, any skills, like in the game. ]
[So, once you encounter them, turn around and go, is your best bet.] ]
[I'm in the broadcast room on the 40th floor right now, the elevator is broken, and the building is full of monsters, and I don't dare walk around.] ]
[I can help you, but you'll need to go to room 9720 first and get my stuff, a stereo camera and a walkie-talkie.] ]
[Then, come to me on the 40th floor.] ]
Thinking back to these words, the cub shook his head, and by now he had roughly understood.
The small camera in the actual demo didn't expect to get it in the prologue process.
So it doesn't work out much.
And that walkie-talkie, which works even more obviously, is to talk to the radio man.
After all, the phone doesn't work in this building.
And the main quest is also very clear.
And that's to go to the 40th floor and meet this man.
What will happen after that is not yet clear.
But...
The cub looked at his slow-moving self and sighed.
It's not that he doesn't want to go fast, but he can't.
Because...
He's starving.
In other games, the hunger value is gone, and the health value is deducted.
This game directly deducts physical strength.
When your stamina is low, your movement speed will slow down, and you won't be able to run.
It's equivalent to having to find something to eat.
It's really enough to 'survive'!
"Brothers, if you don't find anything to eat, I guess I'm going to starve to death in the prologue."
The cub always complained depressedly and complained in the live broadcast room.
And the audience and fans also brushed up the barrage to make fun.
"Don't be afraid, Xinxin's luck is worse than yours, she has starved to death twice."
"Why not? Brother Cub walked all the way down and didn't encounter any monsters. As soon as Sister Xin got off the 98th floor, she encountered a monster with her head split in half, and she was swallowed on the spot. ”
"The monsters in this game are randomly roaming, it's really awesome, and there is no fixed program route."
"The prologue is a bit long, when will you two be online?"
"Didn't you say wait until the prologue is over?"
Looking at the barrage, the cub always took a deep breath.
I didn't expect Xinxin to be so miserable, so I really found her all my life.
It seems that she can't be on the first channel to be the first to cover, after all, she is helping her every day!
The cub shook his head, turned a corner, and looked at the number of the room on his head.
9718。
9718!?
it! So fast!
Great! That 9720 is just ahead!
The cub was suddenly full of energy.
After experiencing every step of the way, there is nothing unusual in the corridor in front of me, and it seems very safe.
So he stepped forward with joy in his heart.
After passing through room 9719, I finally came to room 9720.
Looking at the door in front of him, he relaxed as if he had accomplished some difficult task.
This is due to his explosive luck, because he didn't even see a monster along the way, which made him a lot smoother.
From the audience in the live broadcast room, it seems that the experience of core sauce is not very smooth.
I'll have to laugh at her when I'm online.
The cub always stood up, grabbed the handle, and pressed it lightly.
The door opened.
Really!
The radio man didn't lie to him, the door was not locked!
But...
The cub immediately became serious.
The door is unlocked, which means anyone can enter.
People can.
Monster... The same can be done!
Therefore, the cub always leaned against the door and quietly pushed open a crack to observe the situation inside.
This is where the powerful freedom of VR comes in.
Here, you can do anything you wouldn't be able to do on a PC.
Like the current door opening, the cub always opens little by little, and observes the situation in the room little by little.
At the same time, he was also very nervous and jumped fast.
I'm afraid that a head or a pair of eyes will suddenly pop out of the crack in the door and come face to face with him.
Then he estimated that he would have to go to the funeral home on the spot, saving the step of going to the hospital.
Who can withstand such a scare when stepping on a horse?
Through the crack in the door, the room was pitch black.
Only the hazy moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window made him barely able to see.
After a general inspection, no monsters were found, so it was safe inside.
Seeing this, the cub smashed his mouth, waved his left hand, and pushed the door open.
Then he went into the room, turned around and turned on the light.
Suddenly, room 9920 brightened.
This room is not big or small.
1 bedroom with kitchen and toilet and balcony.
At first glance, it's normal.
But strangely, there are a lot of religious objects inside.
There are amulets, small ornaments of a certain deity, brass bells, statues, portraits, stacks of old talisman paper, and so on.
It gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
It's like an out-of-place.
The occupant of this room seems to be a very devout believer.
Speaking of which, the male voice on the radio can't be a religious believer, right?
The cub was stunned and shook his head.
What is the background of the characters in the game, what is my business?
I'm just playing a game, just a mission.
So, he closed the door and locked it, and began to search the house for quest items.
Soon, Mr. Cub found the walkie-talkie on the bed.
I also found a stereo camera and a paper disc with 14 color lenses in the cabinet drawer.
He picked up the camera and looked at it closely.
Before, I didn't see it very clearly in the actual demonstration, but when I got it, I found that it was very different from ordinary cameras.
It's a little smaller than a regular camera, and it's all enclosed, with no room for film, batteries, or memory cards.
There is only a slit-sized groove for a paper dish for colored lenses.
The back of the camera is a U-shaped shape similar to a VR eye.
On the front, there are two simple square lens openings.
The structure looks simple and nothing special.
On the edges, there is also a drop-down button.
I guess that's how I rotated the paper disc and switched lenses.
According to the reminder broadcast before, the cub turned on the walkie-talkie.
Soon, there was a buzzing noise inside.
At this point, the protagonist speaks again.
[The guy said he was going to tune to Channel 3...] Let me try...]
In front of the cub, a line of prompts appeared.
[Please tune the walkie-talkie to: channel 0.3]
“ch03?”
Mr. Cub looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and found that it was: 0.1.
He understood, so he tried to press the button on the controller and set the channel to 3.
Suddenly, the noise disappeared and silence returned.
And the game has once again entered the real-time calculus.
The cub is used to it.
Like this kind of plot-oriented animation, of course he wants to watch more.
After all, this is a presentation that will allow him to understand the character and shaping of the main character.
[I've got your stuff, can you hear me?] ]
...
The walkie-talkie did not respond.
[Hey!] Can you hear me? ]
...
Soon, the walkie-talkie sizzled.
Then, the original male voice on the radio sounded from it.
[Very well, you've managed to get the two most important things, you can come to the 40th floor to find me.] ]
[Listen, these two things are very important, and you have to make sure they don't get lost anyway.] ]
[After all, you're coming down from the 97th floor, but you're going through 57 floors.] It's impossible to say how many monsters there are. ]
[The walkie-talkie allows me to talk to you in real time, and I can see the monitoring of all floors here, and can give you directions and danger warnings.] But only on the 92nd floor. Because there's a power outage down the 92nd floor, if you can restore power to the entire building and keep the monitoring running, I can continue to help get you down the stairs safely. ]
Under the real-time calculation animation, the cub always follows the protagonist's perspective and looks at the walkie-talkie and the stereo camera, and wonders.
[What exactly do you want to do?] Why did you find me? ]
[Also, are you a believer?] What's in it is all yours? ]
When the radio man on the walkie-talkie heard this, he sneered.
[I'm not a religious person, I'm a religious merchant who sells religious items that aren't very clean and easy to get rid of.] Like what... I'm going to let find the stereo camera. ]
[Listen, I'm looking for you because you're the only person I can reach.] I also found a lot of survivors, but none of them could be contacted. So let's reach a cooperation for the time being, I'll help you go downstairs, and you can help me send a small camera over, how about it? ]
The protagonist of the game hesitates, looks at the small camera, and then bewilders again.
[What is so special about this thing that makes you care so much?] ]
There was a moment of silence on the intercom, and then an explanation began.
[As I said, I'm a religious merchant.] This thing is naturally a commodity to be sold. For you, it's just a piece of garbage, and even if you want to keep it for yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a way to sell it, and maybe it will cause you a lot of trouble. ]
Looking at this small camera, the protagonist of the game may not know what it is.
But the cub always knows it very well in his heart!
In the actual demonstration, this stereo camera can see ghosts that cannot be seen by the naked eye!
According to the broadcaster, he can provide guidance on 100-92 floors.
After the 91st floor, unless the power is restored, you can only rely on the light of your mobile phone and the stereo camera to go downstairs!
Therefore, the worldview setting of this game may have certain grotesque events in itself.
[Okay, I see, I'm going to leave this restaurant and give you this camera.] You find danger for me and show me the way. ]
Laughter erupted again over the intercom.
[Very nice sir, but don't worry.] It's a good idea to be well prepared before you go. First of all, you have to eat, you have to drink, you have to rest. That way, you'll have enough energy to survive in the building. ]
[My backpack is still in this room, and it has some bread and biscuits in it.] Take as much as you can, on the road just in case. But remember, just bring only what you need, because too many things will weigh you too much. When the time comes, you will be eager to run for your life. ]
[That's all I have to say, so then, good luck.] ]
As soon as the voice fell, there was no sound on the intercom.
The protagonist tries to continue the conversation, but there is no reaction from it, as if they have cut off contact, and no one responds.
In this regard, the protagonist also seems to be a little helpless.
After putting away the walkie-talkie and stereo camera, I was ready to go.
And at this point, the cub always found that he could control it.
So he immediately went to the backpack and searched for it.
Sure enough, a loaf of bread and two biscuits were found inside.
The cub picked it up and ate it without any hesitation.
The game also thoughtfully adds a first-person eating action, which looks particularly interesting and realistic.
Then, the movement speed returns to normal, which means that the hunger pang is over!
Looks like this game has to eat regularly.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to survive.
After eating, the cub is about to search the room when he sees a pop-up prompt in the game.
[End of Prologue]
【Online mode unlocked】
Seeing the prompt, the cub was stunned at first, and then happy.
"Oh my god, it's finally unlocked! Finally, you can play without having to play alone! ”
So, when he was about to send a message to Xin Chan, two prompts popped up again in front of him.
[Congratulations on clearing the prologue and understanding the basic operation of this game]
[The Sky Mountain is fully open, and the 100 floors can be explored at will. In this game, you can feel full freedom and horror. Choose your own playstyle and don't have to be tied to the rules. You can't think of anything you can't do, and you can't do it without this game. 】
Seeing this prompt, the cub was stunned again.
Not only that, but even the audience and fans in the live broadcast room have the same expressions.
100 floors to explore?
Full freedom and terror?
Only players can't think of it, and there is nothing you can't do in this game?
"it, it's really fake?"
"Is it really that awesome? I don't believe it, brothers, do you believe it? ”
The people in the live broadcast room immediately expressed their opinions.
There are those who believe and those who do not.
The argument continued, and the cub who watched shook his head.
"Well, shall I give it a try? I'm going to smash the window and see if I can walk out of it. ”
"The production team probably didn't expect that there would be players outside the building who are not afraid of death at a height of more than 90 floors, right? I'll see if it's really that free. ”
Fans in the live broadcast room applauded!
said that I like this kind of face slapping scene!
So, the cub looked around the room, lifted his chair, and went to the window.
Just as he was about to smash the glass, a little girl's slightly crying voice came from outside.
[Dad... You don't go... It's too dangerous... Don't go...]
Hearing this, the cub was stunned, and after making sure that it was a voice outside the window, he leaned forward to look.
But because it's through the glass, you can't see anything.
However, this window is closed and cannot be opened, only the ventilation window on the top can open a slit of about 40cm.
To know what was happening outside the window, he lowered his chair and stood up, increasing the height.
Then poke your head out of the crack and look down.
Suddenly, his eyes widened slightly, and he couldn't believe it.
Below, outside the window on the 96th floor.
A man with a rope tied to his body is crossing the ventilation window, looking at the posture, is he going to walk from the outside?
Oh my God, so bold? Don't want to die?
This horse is 96 stories high!
If you are a little careless with your rope, the gods can't save you!
And, how did you get the 40cm seam across the ventilation window!?
The cub always looked down, and his throat swelled.
Although the bottom of the Sky Mountain is pitch black because of the height, there is no bottom in sight.
But the reference of the building in the distance was enough to tell him how terrible the height was.
The man downstairs dared to do this, it was really unmatched!
Soon, the man's voice came from below.
[Child, don't cry, be obedient.] When Dad is away, you have to take good care of your brother, you know? ]
[Dad... No... Don't go... I'm scared...]
[Shhh...!] Hush...! Don't cry baby, the monster is likely to come over when it hears the sound. ]
The man downstairs silenced his lips and continued to comfort the children in the room.
[You know Dad is very powerful, right, good, Dad went to the next room to find food and came back immediately, and he came back soon, obedient.] ]
[You have to take care of your brother, you know?] Wait for Dad to bring back the food, you are Daddy's favorite...]
The cub always watched the plot performance belonging to the NPC upstairs, and felt that the production team was really very attentive.
Being able to arrange such an extra plot in this place is really rich in game content and details.
It feels like the real world is spinning, rather than everything revolving around the protagonist.
Great! Awesome!
But...
didn't wait for the cub to continue to sigh, and in the next second, his pupils shrank sharply, and his face showed an extremely frightened look.
I just forgot that this was a game and immediately yelled.
"! Get on board! Get on board! ”
