This is the third year that all human beings have been transferred to underground shelters.
Three years ago, the nuclear war almost flattened the entire surface of the earth. Less than one-third of the people managed to enter the shelter and survived under the shelter of heavy reinforced concrete.
However, the underground refuge originally contained only ten years of materials, but the number of people who poured into it far exceeded the original design limit. Therefore, according to the calculations of the scientists and the refuge’s controlling brain, all The resources of the underground shelter will be exhausted in five years at the latest.
Even though every shelter has an ecological circulation system, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the huge consumption of people in the shelter every day.
……
Qi Lin looked at the game cabin that looked like a coffin, and couldn’t help but fall into a deep pain.
“It is said that the game cabins of those rich are not like this, they are advanced, and they have more than three chances of resurrection.” On another game cabin, placed side by side, sat a dirty down jacket. On the left chest, you can barely see a Boehdden logo. Qi Lin vaguely remembers that this seems to be a very famous brand before the war.
”The main brain said, the supplies are in short supply, so the slums can only be reduced, and if enough wealth is earned in the game, it can be exchanged with the materials in reality.”
Qi Lin said while looking at a book similar to the manual issued with the game cabin.
”Hey, do you believe this too? It was said in the previous promotional video that it is not a dream for the poor to live in the rich area of the refuge, but in fact? It may be that when the local tyrant enters the game, there will be a novice gift package, and What about us–” the down jacket boy said angrily.
The slum area and the rich area of the sanctuary are very different. For comparison, it is probably a dark tunnel similar to the movie tunnel war, and the other is a luxurious underground villa full of technology. It also comes with its own swimming pool, beach and artificial sun.
Qi Lin: “Xiao Lei, do you remember a bad advertisement for a web game before the end of the world?”
Xiao Lei: “Huh?”
Qi Lin slowly tore open a bag of man-made synthetic food, poured the white paste that resembled melted soap into his bowl, and then said: “It’s the dog at the beginning, a knife, The equipment depends on picking up…”
“I’m going? Did you eat too much synthetic food and your brain was assimilated? Besides, where did the dog come from?”
Qi Lin pointed at the young man who was still sitting on the “coffin” with the spoon in his hand.
“Look for a fight!”
……
slapstick back to slapstick, before the time set by the mastermind, the two teenagers still lie down in the “coffin” obediently.
“Wasteland Survival Rules”, a fully immersive game developed to train outstanding humans who can survive on the wasteland. It is said that this game is made to completely simulate the environment on the ground. Let these people who live underground can adapt to life on the ground through games and prepare for the return of human beings to the ground in the future.
However, the game designer has laid down an almost cruel rule. After entering the game, each player has only three free resurrection opportunities. Once the resurrection opportunities are exhausted and then die, it means that the player It is an unqualified “eliminator”.
The outcome of the elimination will be completely cut off the supply of food, water, daily necessities, electricity, and even oxygen by the refuge master.
In other words, complete death in the game is equivalent to death in reality.
If someone refuses to enter the game, they will be exiled by the mastermind. The so-called exile is to be thrown directly on the ground to play the live-action version of “Rules for Survival in Wasteland.”
In the underground world where national boundaries have been completely blurred, the intelligent mastermind that controls all refuges is a symbol of supreme power.
And to define a person’s dignity in the end times, that is the authority and wealth he has on the side of the mastermind.
Social class exists at all times, even in the last days.
……
At 12: 0: 0 noon on April 1, 2041, a day called “April Fool’s Day” before the end of the world, the “Rules for Survival in Wasteland” was officially opened.
“The player’s biometric information has been authenticated, and the identity is confirmed, do you enter the game now?” In the darkness, Qi Lin only heard a cold synthetic female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
“Yes.”
The darkness slowly faded, and Qi Lin found himself in a closed cuboid room. There was only one table in the room with three metal boxes on the table.
“Hello, you are the nine thousand five hundred and twenty-seventh player who has access to the game world, do you choose a new name for yourself?” The artificially synthesized female voice echoed in the room.
“9527? Such a coincidence?” Qi Lin was a little surprised. As an old movie lover, he clearly understood the particularity of this serial number. Perhaps no one in the wasteland would care about such a string of plainness. However, at least it can be kept as a memorial to the kind of life that was gone before.
“No need, just this one.”
“The player 9527, as a reward for the first 10,000 players who access the game, will have the right to choose one of the three treasure chests as the starting item.”
“Is there such a benefit?” Qi Lin was stunned. The main brain restricted everyone to enter the game within 24 hours after the start of the game at the latest. He was suddenly a little grateful that he chose to log in to the game the first time.
The three metal boxes lay quietly on the table. From the outside, there is no difference at all. Qi Lin casually pointed to the middle ~IndoMTL.com~ and said, “I choose this.”
The other two boxes disappeared out of thin air, and the remaining box was slowly opened with the sound of precision gears.
“Congratulations, get the item [Swiss Army Knife].”
Qi Lin took the gadget, which was more than ten centimeters long and was inlaid with red and white trademarks, from the box. As soon as he focused on it, a dense line of small characters appeared in his mind.
”[Swiss Army Knife], green quality items, with daggers, knives, scissors, flat knifes, can openers, screwdrivers, tweezers, saws, pliers, grindstones, awls, hooks, ballpoint pens, compasses, etc. Function, it is a must-have product for home travel, killing and surpassing goods.
The Swiss Army Knife that Qi Lin got is obviously the largest among various models and the most versatile, and it is heavy in his hand.
The Swiss Army Knife cost hundreds of dollars before the war, and in underground shelters, even if it is a copycat, the price of this multi-purpose knife has been fired up on the black market. People in the slums simply cannot afford it.
“The luck is not bad.” Qi Lin didn’t know what was in the other two treasure chests, but for now, the Swiss Army Knife is obviously a good choice.
Living in wasteland, adaptability is the most important thing. A Swiss Army knife with dozens of functions can bring more help than those with a single function.
“After sixty seconds, you will be teleported to a random safe location in the game. At that time, your “Wasteland Survival Code” will officially open. I wish you a happy game!”
“Sixty…”
”Fifty-nine…”
“Fifty-eight…”
……
“Zero…!”
