Infinite Disaster Survival
211. Chapter 211: Escape from Famine in Ancient Times-21
“Beep…” The piercing alarm sounded throughout the room. Before one stopped, another sounded. The flashing red light made the staff in the room pale instantly.
The person in charge who received the emergency signal rushed over. When he arrived, the frequent world alarms made everyone panic. In just ten minutes, nearly a hundred signal lights went out completely.
“Why did so many people die suddenly? What exactly are they facing?” The person in charge said with a serious face, but no one could answer his question.
Nearly four months after the disaster, even though the world is concentrating on scientific research to study hangover methods, no effective results have been found. We can only watch these lives go to death one by one.
“The statistics are out. In the past ten minutes, eighty-six of our trapped citizens have lost brain fluctuations.” When saying these numbers, the tone inevitably became heavy.
“Make the final confirmation…”
Ten minutes passed, and no miracle happened. The caregiver silently unplugged the line connecting the instrument. He had to notify the family of the deceased and announce the situation to the outside world. The sadness in his heart emerged again.
"As of now, the cumulative death toll of trapped citizens in our country is 5,624."
More than four months ago, a newly established game company announced to the world that it had successfully developed a holographic game.
No one believed it at first, and it was just regarded as fake news, until the game company invited many celebrities to try it for free.
After proving its authenticity, the news became a hit on the Internet, and countless people competed for the qualification to participate in the internal test. The high price announced at first discouraged most people, and the game company randomly selected from those who paid in advance.
One hundred thousand people with money and luck stood out from various countries around the world. Under the attention of the world, they entered the game at the same time, but no one quit the game for a long time.
While the Internet was still discussing whether the game was too fun to make people addicted, the people around the trapped people first noticed something was wrong.
One by one, the phone calls were made, first anxiously questioning the game company, and when someone lost their breath and heartbeat in the game, the unacceptable family members immediately called the police and announced it on the Internet.
The number of deaths in the game was not just a few people. Thousands of people died in the first few days after entering the game.
The holographic game test quota that countless people have fought for has become a global disaster.
All countries have begun to investigate the game company, but found that the staff inside are only responsible for publicity and other tasks, and the core technology of the game is secretly operated by the boss with a team.
However, after further investigation, no one has seen the so-called team. The boss of the registered company has never appeared in public and only contacted the hired company manager on the Internet.
After discovering that the identity used by the boss was stolen, no one could prove the existence of the so-called boss.
After the news was disclosed, countless speculations were raised, but for the families of the trapped people and the governments of various countries, how to rescue the people safely is the top priority.
In particular, after investigation, all countries have discovered the facts that were previously ignored.
The internal testers selected by the game company either have excellent family conditions or have unique talents in a certain aspect.
From this point of view, it is obvious that the mastermind behind the scenes deliberately selected them, rather than randomly selected. If these players are not rescued, the consequences can be foreseen.
"Director, the notice is drafted."
"Announce it." The director sighed lightly.
How many families will be plunged into despair by these bad news?
After the incident, countries quickly formed research teams, but four months later, more than half of the 100,000 people trapped in the game had died, and they were still helpless.
No results were found to rescue the people, and they could only barely provide the trapped players with some nutrition.
When problems occurred in the game, those in reality could only watch their brain fluctuations disappear in the alarm.
"There is still half an hour before the global emergency meeting."
"I will go to the meeting now, and the experts from the research group will come to test it later. You should cooperate well."
Looking at the trapped people wearing holographic helmets and lying on the bed with nutritional injections on the screen, the director walked away with heavy steps.
Whether it is trapping the consciousness of 100,000 people in the game or not being able to find any traces under the pursuit of various countries, the ability shown by the mastermind has exceeded the technological level of various countries.
At first, different countries organized their own teams to study, but the progress was too slow.
As the number of deaths increased, and some of the trapped families had power, global meetings were now held regularly to discuss the next research plan.
More than three months later, scientists made a breakthrough in the rescue plan through research on unused holographic equipment.
At this time, Wen Zheng was stationed in the military camp outside Pyeongchang Prefecture.
Time passed quickly, and the weather became cold again. There was a heating fire in each tent.
There were fragrant pancakes in the stove next to him, and a small pot that was constantly emitting fragrance was warmed on it. In the pot were two pieces of pork belly snatched from the ingredients of the celebration banquet in the evening.
Carefully take out a pancake, cut the freshly baked pancake, take out two pieces of braised meat, chop them together with green peppers and stuff them into the pancake, and add a spoonful of soup.
Wen Zheng held the freshly baked Roujiamo in both hands and ate two in one breath.
When he reached out to take the third one, Wen Zheng looked outside. Even though his vision was blocked by the tent, his ears could easily distinguish the sound he was concerned about from the noise and simulate the corresponding scene in his mind.
The hurried sound of horse hooves was approaching the military camp quickly. The patrol team at the gate did not stop them. It must be a hurried march to report the news.
It was already this hour. Meng Jun should have led the team to capture the city of Pingchang.
Half a year ago, the prince rebelled. After killing the traitor, the emperor launched a major purge of the capital.
In those ten days, the capital shed so much blood that it was said that even the moat outside the city was dyed red.
After the emperor executed the traitors who plotted rebellion and opened the gates of the capital city, which had been closed for a long time, the officials in the capital city had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, and there were even many people outside the capital city who had not even figured out the matter. The emperor's order was transported to various places by fast horses.
All officials and even wealthy businessmen who had close relations with the third prince who plotted rebellion were imprisoned on suspicion of treason.
The old emperor could ignore the rebellion of the ignorant people who did not take it seriously, but he could not tolerate his young and strong son to seize his throne. A purge spread from the capital city to the surrounding areas.
The officials who were lucky enough not to be affected, after the initial panic, thought that this was an excellent opportunity to strike political enemies, and began to frame them in various ways.
The country that had been struggling to support finally collapsed in the face of this disaster that was expanding in scope.
Wen Zheng and Meng Jun and others who were still in Pingchang Prefecture at the time did not expect things to develop so quickly.
Before the disaster spread to Pingchang Prefecture, the Shen family received the news and left Pingchang Prefecture overnight.
Back at the base camp, Yangning Prefecture, they received the latest news every few days. They seized the time to develop themselves while watching those who were forced into a desperate situation rise up, and rebel teams appeared everywhere.
The newly emerged rebel forces included royal families, noble families, and officials. Compared with these, the Meng family who now occupied Yangning Prefecture were from poor people and had the lowest threat.
Therefore, in the state of being ignored by the court and various rebel forces, Yangning Prefecture was fortunately ignored in the next six months of war, and seized the opportunity to secretly develop itself.
Meng Jun has the memory of being in modern times, and the ability to use modern knowledge for his own use. He used the nine-character mantra of "building high walls, storing grain, and slowly claiming the throne" in a certain dynasty, and the people of Yangning Prefecture also lived a peaceful life.
However, the days of hiding were broken not long ago. Pingchang Prefecture next to Yangning Prefecture was targeted by two rebels. If Pingchang Prefecture was occupied, then Yangning Prefecture adjacent to it would be the next to be targeted.
Moreover, although the Shen family, whose many industries were in Pingchang Prefecture, had been exchanging resources with the Meng family army, they still stayed in their hometown and had not moved here, and a letter for help was sent here.
The two rebels valued not only Pingchang Prefecture, but also the wealthy Shen family in it.
So, Yangning Prefecture finally poked its head out from the city wall, and Major General Meng Jun personally led the team to the expedition, and it took half a month to approach the city of Pingchang Prefecture.
As soon as the news came out, the world looked sideways, and the other two rebels who had set their sights on Yangning Prefecture were caught off guard. They were on guard against each other, and it took only half a month to integrate the teams that seized the territory.
In fact, Meng Jun had never thought of fighting so quickly, because Yangning Prefecture and Pingchang Prefecture were close to each other, and no matter how they hid, it would be difficult to hide it from their neighbors for a long time.
What's more, because of the epidemic, the population of Yangning Prefecture could not live there, and they wanted to attract more people to settle here.
Therefore, in the previous six months, many people in Pingchang Prefecture who lived with blind neighbors ran to Yangning Prefecture with their families, hoping to live under the Meng family's army.
It was not until almost all the people on the periphery ran away that Pingchang Prefecture realized the seriousness of the problem. Under the mediation of the Shen family, it did not make a big fuss, but only managed the people in the jurisdiction more strictly.
However, no matter how strict the management was, it could not suppress the people's desire to live a better life.
In particular, Yangning Prefecture not only distributed land to the people, but the rebels also stopped disturbing the people and came up with various ways to grow more food.
Moreover, there was a genius doctor who cured the plague at that time, and handed over a group of capable apprentices, and the price of seeing a doctor was cheap.
Every day, what they thought about in their minds and mouths was the good life in Yangning Prefecture, so when the people of Pingchang Prefecture heard that General Meng Xiao led the team to attack, they felt that this was not an attack, but clearly coming to lead them to a good life.
Ordinary people did not resist at all, and even secretly helped. Many soldiers in Pingchang Prefecture were newly recruited in recent years. They had long been envious of the treatment of the Meng family army and wished to let them in directly.
So Meng Jun and his team basically encountered no resistance. The few towns that resisted did not take it seriously. They defended for a day at most, and most of the half a month was spent on the road.
When they arrived outside the city of Pingchang Prefecture, Meng Jun stopped and asked people to camp outside the city, waiting for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements.
Wen Zheng followed Meng Jun all the way. As a miracle doctor, he helped open the city gate several times and treated several more difficult diseases. He was also busy all the way.
Everyone was exhausted, so they camped outside the city to rest. It was a taboo for a tired army to leave the station.
The resistance in Pingchang Prefecture was not strong. Today, the soldiers had rested and Meng Jun led the team to attack the city gate. Those who stayed in the camp were full of confidence and even prepared a celebration banquet.
Thinking of this, Wen Zheng put down the roujiamo, washed his hands and walked out of the tent.
The sound of horse hooves sounded like they were heading straight in his direction.
Someone must have been seriously injured and needed urgent help if they came to find the miracle doctor.
