I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 658 Mikkelsen's Sanctuary Game
December 12nd, the night before Christmas Eve.

There are still a little more than 24 hours before the apocalypse arrives. The whole world seems to have succumbed to the imminent destruction. There are no more explosions, no more riots. Even the players, because of the location of the body warehouse that will be announced tomorrow, have accumulated strength and are extraordinarily quiet.

After losing the unified command of Makarian, the players behaved a little loosely. The major player groups have their own interests, which gave humans a chance to breathe, but it was only for a day.

Mikkelsen is sitting leisurely in his office at the Lost Mountain base drinking 20-year-old whiskey. Since the tree of life was limited, he has been looking for alternatives. He has changed many kinds of different brands of tobacco and alcohol. Currently, this black-brand whiskey is the one he is most satisfied with.

In Mikkelsen, there is a huge screen in front of him, which is divided into 1024 small screens, which represent 1024 refuges. This may not be all the refuges of human beings, but it is definitely the largest 1024, including but not limited to some space manor-style refuges in outer space, submarine refuges, etc.

But these 1024 refuges basically cover all the refuges of human civilization in order to continue the fire of civilization.

The numbered shelters are sorted from No. 0 to No. 422. Because of the different sizes, these 423 shelters can accommodate 5 people, and only a few thousand people. These are all official shelters, authorized by the United Nations General Assembly and supported by governments from various countries. They have sheltered a total of 1000 to [-] million people.

This is the limit of what human civilization can do, placing more than 1000 people in safe shelters, and ensuring the supply of energy and materials, which meet the minimum standard of living.

Among the 1000 to 700 million people, nearly [-] million are residents who are refrigerated and kept in the life-support cabin. Perhaps they are a little luckier than those who are awake, because at least they can't feel the destruction of the world.

In addition to these 423 official large-scale shelters, there are countless private shelters. Many well-informed people and forces have built their own shelters in advance, such as the Ark organization, such as the naturalized people.

That's right, the naturalized people have also established their own refuges in case of emergency. Some of these refuges from the naturalized people have even been classified into the official refuge sequence, but Mikkelsen is well aware of all this.

Because in all these 1024 refuges, there are his avatars lurking in them as undercover agents. These avatars have entered these refuges at different time points, different identities, and with different backgrounds in the past 72 hours.

Mikkelsen, who had the most numbered shelters, placed eight clones, and the fewest had only one, but that clone was the Vault Overseer.

Faced with the threat of players, Mikkelsen had long thought of controlling all human beings, but the social structure, population size, and distribution range at that time made it impossible for Mikkelsen to do so. But now, when everyone is put in a cage, Mikkelsen can say with certainty that the entire human civilization is in his hands.

The biggest threat to the player is to exit the world anytime and anywhere, not to be afraid of death, and to have an indistinguishable identity. Mikkelsen has now solved these problems.

All members who enter the refuge have built-in chips for daily life. Chips are needed to fetch drinking water, chips are needed to obtain food, and chip identification is required to enter and exit every door. This is Mikkelsen’s restoration of some functions of the mother world according to Karcalf’s narration. He hopes that players can adapt to such operations.

And all chip implanters must accept a random common sense test at any time. If the test fails, a warning will be triggered, and the chip will continuously release a non-lethal micro-current, but it will definitely make the player unable to go offline with peace of mind.

At that time, some people were also worried that if someone mastered the back door of the chip, whether it would cause soft damage to the residents of the shelter through the chip, but this stupid question was dismissed by Mikkelsen on the spot.

The refuge is completely enclosed, and there is no way to get in touch with the outside signal except for the communication room. If this kind of thing happened, it must be caused by the inner ghost.

Of course, the real reason was that in the sealed environment of the shelter, Mikkelsen didn't have to worry about someone overpowering him. In theory, if all went well, he would be the last one alive in the shelter.

He was very curious, what would happen if a player planned to descend with his clone as the target?

Mikkelsen drank whiskey, leaned on his leather seat, and turned to look at the entire Lost Mountain base.

This is the underground kingdom he spent 20 years building. This is the real revival of human civilization. It is itself an industrial base, a lot of laboratories, and even various cutting-edge laboratories.

The most rare thing is that there are supporting personnel here. A whole 10 frozen humans are stored under the Lost Mountain Base. During this period, Chris Cunningham has almost no rest days and has been using her abilities continuously. The only thing that makes Wu Qianying feel regretful is that even if she is so proficient in her abilities, that poor brain can't put more laws of thermodynamics into it. Her ability has stopped at LV2.

In Wu Qianying's words, as long as she can show one-tenth of Tang Ji's previous energy, she will not be completely unable to understand what is called entropy increase. If she does not understand the concept of entropy, Chris will only be a natural ice maker for the rest of her life.

However, for Mikkelsen, it's not bad to keep Chris's holy state as before. Otherwise, according to Wu Qianying's theory, if it is fast, Chris will be able to contact the time domain at the LV3 stage, and if it is slow, it will be at the LV4 stage.

Although the Seven Deadly Sins have always been the top class of superhumans, no one has stipulated that they must be the strongest. At least currently known, there are two superhumans that can make people like the Seven Deadly Sins feel headaches. One is Surte, and the other is the resurrected Kang.
But fortunately, one of them listened to Tang Ji very much, and the other was either killed by Tang Ji, or he learned how to behave after being killed by Tang Ji.

Among the currently known superhumans, only a small number of them are at the LV3 stage, and these people either match their own abilities abnormally, or they happen to be experts in related fields, and it is easy to analyze their own abilities through their previous theoretical knowledge.

Through these people, Wu Qianying believes that the LV3 stage is the first threshold of superhumanity. People who cross the past will have a huge improvement in ability, and most people at this stage will find a path of specialization from many fields involved in their abilities, and further develop in depth.

After awakening, the stronger the initial ability of superhumans, the more difficult it is to advance, except for the seven original sins. Wu Qianying believes that their advancement path is smoother, and they have always maintained a high intensity, but they lack too much randomness and surprise. Perhaps one day in the future, they will be bound by their own abilities and become "weak".

"Oh, the weak." Mikkelsen savored the word and squeezed the metal wine glass in his hand.

No, he can never be weak. Even if there are players and rage, Mikkelsen will play the cards in his hand clearly, and he will not lose the wind, at least he will not lose the wind on the bright side.

And the Seven Original Sins who are also nested in the Lost Mountain base, and Annie, as the dream goddess of the Church of Pleasure, actually has some influence in the world. She even attracted many big people who pursued excitement as shallow believers, but because she was controlled by Mikkelsen a while ago, coupled with the atmosphere of the end of the world, the entire church is half-dead, and only a group of severe X addicts are left.

Of course, Anne is not as honest as she seems. She has been expanding the scale of the Church of the Joyful, focusing on targeting the residents of the shelters in various places. In fact, she was the first to release the news about the Apocalypse Day.

Annie doesn't have a high-level policy to develop her power yet, but Mikkelsen has once again focused on her dream network. He regards Anne's dream network as a backup connection network between shelters. Although this network is very inefficient and must rely on Anne for coordination, it can at least ensure stability.

"Hello, Nino, I know you are a little scared, but please keep calm, you are currently in your own dream, this place is safe, this is your world." Annie comforted the girl in the dream according to the script.

Nino is the Dream Network liaison officer of Vault 190. Of course, her identity is kept secret. Her main task is to report the abnormalities in the Vault through the Dream Network after all existing communication facilities are lost.

For Annie, this liaison officer is naturally dispensable, because she has more than 190 believers in Vault 20, and she has already discovered any troubles.

But Nino herself is also a superhuman, an undercover agent whose superhuman identity has been concealed, a senior agent of the Joint Investigation Office, and a member of Mikkelsen. Annie had seen all of Nino's backgrounds when she invaded her dream.

Her ability is to have a gasification state. This ability is too advantageous in the environment of the shelter. At the same time, she is also one of the few shelter residents who has not been implanted with a chip. Her ability allows her to always get rid of the shackles of the chip.

So Mikkelsen made her a liaison officer of the dream network, so that Anne could effectively monitor her and prevent her from becoming a window for players to come.

"I'm not afraid, get out of my dream now!" Nino unceremoniously used her privileges, everyone has absolute control over their own dreams.

But Annie is one of the Seven Deadly Sins after all, although she has always shown no threat, even though she is the most normal person among the Seven Deadly Sins.
"Quiet!" Annie shouted, and the whole dream was frozen.

Tang Ji could indeed give Annie a real threat in the dream, but that was because Tang Ji was the strongest-willed person Annie had ever seen. Even if he was not the Seven Deadly Sins, Annie would not take the initiative to enter the dream of that kind of person.

They hardly dream, and their brain is just another muscle to exercise.

As for Nino, although she is a senior agent in name, she relies too much on her own abilities, and her career is too smooth. She has hardly encountered any setbacks or dangers, and has made no achievements in willpower. Annie took over the entire dream easily.

Annie didn't even bother to waste words with the other party, and directly forced the existence of the dream network, her responsibilities, and the tasks she needed to focus on into her sea of ​​consciousness, and let her digest it slowly.

To put it simply, Shelter 190 is a shelter located in the extremely cold region of Alaska. It is a semi-buried shelter. It was originally converted from the secret military base of Area 51. The overall carrying capacity is 3000 people, of which 1000 people are refrigerated and stored in the underwater part of the base to save energy.

Among the remaining 1 people, at least 300 people were labeled as suspected naturalized people. Nino's task was to determine whether there were really players among these people within 24 hours.

This is a test, a double test for the player and the shelter system. Two Mikkelsen with different identities in the shelter 190 are ready to observe and record everything.

If everything goes well, when Nino confirms the player's identity, Mikkelsen will shut down the electromagnetic shielding field of the shelter for a moment at the right time, and Tang Ji will seize that moment and do what he should do.

Tang Ji's few scarlet disciples were evenly dispersed in the relatively concentrated area of ​​the refuge, just to facilitate handling of this kind of thing.

Mikkelsen sees each shelter as his own candy box, where he can play cat and mouse to his heart's content.

Therefore, after the apocalypse, is the real war.

Mikkelsen threw the cup that he accidentally crushed into scrap metal into the trash can, and a man wearing a similar style to him, a ginger suit, stepped out from the shadow of the office, and put a windbreaker on him: "Where are you going, sir?"

"Night City, it's time to talk to Tang Ji." Mikkelsen put on his iconic hat, and then a dimensional door appeared in front of him.

"Night City, Heywood District, where Mr. Tangy is most likely to be." The man maintained the Dimensional Gate while introducing. Mikkelsen just nodded and walked over.

And when this Mikkelsen left, another Mikkelsen also walked into the office, sighed and sat in the previous position, picked up the pile of documents and began to review, as if he had never left.

"Sir, it's still the same. Do you want gingerbread with black tea?" The man who closed the dimension door was not surprised, and turned to the newcomer Mikkelsen and asked: "Add more sugar, the gingerbread will burn a little bit."

"Add more sugar, Gingerbread." Mikkelsen waved his hand after being robbed of his lines, and the office fell silent immediately.
