"There is one last day until the countdown."

"Dear residents of Linjiang City, please believe that we will have a better tomorrow!"

"It's just a game......"

"When the countdown is over, we are not at the end, but with a new beginning."

"Everyone must be full of hope and work hard to live!"

In Linjiang City, every morning at seven o'clock, everyone opened their eyes in the familiar sound of the radio.

At this time.

As long as someone looks out the window, they can see a round of blood-colored words, hanging above the heavenly dome—

【23：59：59！ 】

The blood-colored words were like a dark cloud about to collapse, pressing on the sky above the entire Linjiang City, like a sword of judgment, about to fall, announcing the fate of everyone's death!

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"Tomorrow in the future, you'll see this damn thing when you open your eyes!"

"A new beginning, is it time for everyone to go to heaven?"

In a small rental house of only about thirty square meters, Chen Ye crossed Erlang's legs, faced the computer in front of him, shook his head and smiled.

On the screen, a simple text document, similar to a timeline, records important events in the near future—

[On October 31, 24, a virtual game called "Strange Era" officially opened the public beta. With a weird theme, perfect CG picture performance, and subversive professional gameplay, it has swept the world! 】

[On December 1, 24, the Black Sun incident came, and an island in the East China Sea was within the range of the Black Sun, and the world was missing! And this is the first scene of the CG screen of the game "Spooky Age". 】

[On December 3, 24, the CG picture of "Strange Era" continued to come to reality, officially entering the Strange Era, about one-third of the people disappeared, and the world panicked. 】

[On December 15, 24, there was a blood-colored countdown over Linjiang City, the whole city was isolated from the outside world, and the Internet, telephone and other media means were limited to the urban area.

The city of Linjiang fell into chaos and after a month of turmoil, order was barely restored.

In addition, all contact with the outside world has been completely severed, and the rest of the world is unknown. 】

[April 1, 25, the countdown ushered in the last day! ] 】

This is the end of the event book.

The last line,

It was exactly what Chen Ye had just knocked on today.

He stared at the blood-colored words in the sky and muttered to himself:

"It's finally going to begin!"

Today is the last day of the Bloody Countdown.

There are a lot of experts who have speculated about this, but when the countdown is over, no one knows what it will all look like.

The growth of life always starts with parting, and we have to face countless "last moments".

When the bloody countdown appears, the people of the whole city think that the last moment of their lives has come, their hearts are broken, desperate, the world is destroyed, there is no hope, the whole city is in chaos, everyone is crazy.

But after such a long time, this series of countdowns has unconsciously accompanied the people here for nearly four months.

A lot of people are used to it.

The order in Linjiang City has gradually returned to normal.

People found themselves unable to communicate with humans outside of the city, and the city had a huge barrier like a border, covering the entire world, and not even airplanes and rockets could leave it......

But by mobilizing the power of the whole city, order was still stabilized, and daily life was guaranteed.

Life can be improvised.

At least, you won't die for the time being, and you can still live!

From the apocalyptic turmoil that appears at the beginning of the countdown, to witnessing chaos throughout the city, to calming ......

In just a few months, Chen Ye has almost seen all the situations in the world.

Now, he quietly watched the countdown to the last day, with peace of mind.

It's like countless days and nights, facing that string of desperate countdowns, knowing that there is no hope in life.

This state seems to be very collapsed at the beginning, but then I slowly get used to it, and there are no longer any waves in my heart.

The only pity is ......

Chen Ye is not a native of Linjiang City, but a recent college graduate.

He is addicted to virtual games, has little contact with his classmates, and rarely has friends in the real world. In the four years of college, I was almost alone, living adrift, and only occasionally went back to reunite with my family during the Chinese New Year.

However, Chen Ye, who had just graduated, was planning to go home to visit his parents who he hadn't seen for a long time, and the countdown appeared!

He was silent for a moment, then took out his phone and made one last attempt to send a text message:

"Dear Mom and Dad, I am your most precious son Chen Ye, a strange era has come to the world, the information of Linjiang City cannot be sent, and I have never been able to contact you, I don't know if I am still alive."

"Now, Linjiang City is in the midst of a countdown event, and many people are desperate."

"But so far, I'm in good health, and since I've played the game as a former closed beta user of Spooky Times, I'm not afraid of the game's reality."

"I'm even very confident in beating this broken game!"

"If you're okay, please don't worry about me."

After typing this paragraph, Chen Ye carefully checked it several times, and then clicked the "send" button.

After a short countdown......

A bright red exclamation point popped up.

Failed to send!

on this.

Chen Ye's gaze was very calm, since the countdown incident appeared, all the means of communication in the entire Linjiang City could not be transmitted to the outside world.

On the last attempt, this sentence of what I wanted to say still couldn't be delivered.

But Chen Ye felt lucky to be lucky.

He has seen too many separations in the past few months.

At least......

After being cut off from the outside world, in my heart, my parents are still there, and there is hope for the future.

Chen Ye put away unnecessary negative emotions, and his calm eyes revealed more firmness.

He is not afraid of the end of the countdown, and many experts have analyzed through various information and intelligence that when an area falls into "Strange Age", in fact, the people there are not dead.

Because, once an area falls into "Strange Age", it will be suspended in the sky and turned into a huge screen projection.

Like the blood-colored text, people can look up and see the images on the huge screen.

Some people who have disappeared have shown signs of activity on the screen.

Therefore, many people speculate that when the countdown is over, it is likely that everyone will not die, but enter the game of "Spooky Age".

But this game is no longer virtual reality, it's real reality!

Players don't have an exit button.

Chen Ye's heart is actually more excited and looking forward to this.

In his four years of college, he put an end to all useless social time, and almost all of them were immersed in virtual online games, becoming a well-known online game boss.

"Strange Era" gave Chen a place in the open beta a year before the open beta.

There are only a few hundred people!

He is one of the few cheaters in the world except for the staff who developed the "Spooky Age" game.

It has more sources of information than anyone else.

Chen Ye knows that this game focuses on a strategy game based on selecting, collecting, and attacking dungeons.

Players need to collect the characteristics of "Spooky Age" and become more and more powerful spooks, so as to strengthen themselves and obtain a higher living space.

Of course, in order to increase randomness, each player will initially receive a large difference in identity, items, and talents.

According to the identity, items and talents obtained, to develop the next step, steady development, is the secret to keep surviving and leveling up!

"As long as I can beat this game, maybe I can get out of here and gain the ability to protect my family!"

Chen Ye said silently in his heart.

At this time.

He closed his eyes and recalled the details of "Strange Age" in his mind.

The huge setting, the complex application of features, and the strategy route......

One after another, it turned into a glimpse of light, flickering in front of you like a kaleidoscope.

When I opened my eyes again.

The sky had completely darkened.

There are only a few minutes left for that string of blood-colored words.

[Countdown:]

【3 minutes!】 】

【2 minutes!】 】

【1 minute!】 】

【0……】

At this moment, the blood-colored words in the sky suddenly erupted, turning into a blood-colored curtain that immediately covered the entire city.

Suddenly, the vision went dark.

It seems to have become a "place without light".

You can't see anything!

In the dark.

Chen Ye suddenly felt a violent feeling of falling from his body, accompanied by countless wails and shouts in his ears, his consciousness gradually disappeared, and finally seemed to turn into nothingness......

I don't know how long it has been.

Finally, a bright light pierced through the darkness and consciousness reawakened.

In a haze, Chen Ye saw the center of the light curtain, and a blood-colored text was slowly reflected in his eyes-

[Welcome to the Spooky Era!] 】
