Number One Player

Just two hours before Shang Galaxy entered the game world.

China, in the suburbs of the imperial capital, in a military base.

In a heavily guarded conference room, a meeting with a large number of participants is taking place.

It may be inappropriate to say that it is a "meeting", which is more like a lecture or a report.

On the podium stood solemn officers in military uniforms, and under the podium sat people in different costumes. In front of everyone, there is a thick bound booklet.

"Since November 12, 2018, there have been mutations all over the world," the officer on the podium said with a serious expression, "among the currently known mutations, the earliest site of the mutation is Bavaria Liberty in the southeastern part of Hans. Hohenschwangau Castle in the state."

"At 6:33 a.m. in Hans country time, which is 13:33 in Beijing time, a gravekeeper took a short video with a rough picture. In the video, a skeleton crawled out of the tomb. In the early days, it was regarded as a PS joke or a movie promotion tool by the people at the time.”

All the people under the podium listened seriously, some frowned, some looked serious, some were taking notes, and some were flipping through the booklet in front of them.

Being able to sit in this conference room means that they already have some understanding of the changes that have occurred on the entire earth. No one questioned and inquired about the basic introduction explained by the officer.

The officer stood upright on the podium and continued his introduction: "However, in the next short day, changes broke out all over the world. The common feature is that a very thick white fog appeared first. Therefore, we will It's called the 'White Mist Mutation'."

"Because the location of the initial discovery was at the Hohenschwangau Castle, which is also known as the High Swan Castle, some countries also called it the 'Hohenschwangau Castle Variation', or the 'High Swan Variation'."

Xu Shaoyang, who was sitting under the stage, took notes in detail.

He came from the Central Propaganda Department in China, and because of his professional relationship, he was one of the first people to come into contact with news of the mutation. In this short week, the endless demands for public opinion control forced him to stay up several nights. You must know that with his current status, he has rarely encountered such major events that require long-term monitoring and quick temporary response.

The absurd reality always reminds people of all kinds of doomsday rumors, but Xu Shaoyang quickly suppressed his fearless thoughts. Anyway, be realistic. Now that something has happened, it must always be faced.

"At present, all the mutations have something in common," the solemn officer lowered his head and opened the manual in front of him, and continued, "First, let's take a look at the location of the mutation. Please put your hands The document turns to page 5, which details the locations and introductions of current mutations around the world."

There was a sound of page turning under the stage.

"Obviously it can be seen that the mutation site must have the following elements: old buildings and a relatively deserted environment. Among them, the buildings are allowed to be broken down, and even allowed to be broken down to the point where only broken walls are left, such as in the bald eagle. This altar in the middle of the country has almost only a broken foundation, but it has still changed."

The officers on the podium paused for a while, leaving some time for the people in the audience to read the documents, and then continued: "Second, the law of changes is often like this: first, there is white fog around the building, and then the white fog appears around the building. The fog will get thicker and wider."

"If there's a cemetery nearby and there's a non-cremation corpse in it, then the skeletons will appear first, then the zombies, and then the skeleton warriors."

"Secondly, if there is a water source nearby, there will be aggressive water monsters and fish monsters, followed by fire monsters, and then mud monsters."

"Then, if there is a chicken farm nearby, all the chickens in the chicken farm will mutate, but the attack power is not large and it is very easy to kill."

The officer flipped through the booklet in his hand and said, "You can turn to page 15, which details the changes in several well-known chicken farms in Gannan Province, Wuyue Province, and Jianghuai Province."

There was another sound of page turning under the stage.

"In addition, there is a relatively small chance that nearby animals and plants will also mutate. Occasionally, some people report that they have found demons flying in the air, and orcs who look very similar to humans, but since there are no clearer photos so far , we can only list this as doubtful." While everyone was reading the manual, the officer added another sentence.

"Third, different monsters have different weaknesses. Bullet attacks are almost ineffective against water monsters. Even if they are dispersed, they can recover quickly, but the severe high temperature can cause damage to them; similarly, skeletons also need to be destroyed. sexual assault, breaking every bone in them, not just their skeleton."

"You can turn to page 26 of the document for this paragraph, which details the results of our attacks with various weapons, along with the scientists' test reports."

In this section, the officer did not pass by and let everyone read the binding manual, but explained the different results of various weapons on monsters in very, very detail.

"Fourth, the activity range of the monster spreads outward with the building as the core, and will not exceed the scope of the white fog. We have analyzed the white fog, perhaps because the analytical instruments are not in place, and no abnormal components have been found so far."

"At this point, our researchers are still working on experiments to try to find the anomaly in the white fog."

"This part will be explained in detail by Dr. Chen later."

The atmosphere in the room was very dull, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on everyone's shoulders.

"Fifth, as time goes by, the white fog will become thicker and stronger, the monsters will become stronger and stronger, and new types of monsters will slowly appear."

"You can turn to page 116 of the document. Starting from this page, it records the changes over time around the old Guangong Temple in Anping County, Gannan Province."

The officer gave a detailed introduction in this section, including the types of monsters that appeared initially, the range of activities, the habits of monsters, the changes of old monsters over time, and the detailed description of new monsters.

"...Some water monsters will choose to stay in the convenience store late at night, and some skeletons will choose to pick up bones in the cemetery...Different monsters seem to have different habits, but they all have obsessions...but no matter what obsessions, they will always Time to return to the building where the mutation originally occurred, and attack the enemy who entered the white fog range..."

This paragraph was spoken for a long time, and the atmosphere in the house became more solemn.

"Sixth, we conducted experiments on the mutated chicken carcasses. The instrumental test did not find too many abnormalities, but only found some mutations in muscles and organs. Some researchers ate the chicken carcasses, and the evaluation was as follows: 'It's so delicious, it feels like heaven'."

After a pause, the officer, who had always been solemn, added: "Currently, this researcher is being closely monitored to prevent unforeseen accidents."

A rustling voice came from below the lecture, breaking the solemn environment, as if someone couldn't help laughing out loud.

The atmosphere finally recovered from the suffocating suffocation, and I vaguely heard someone sighing:

"We Chinese people can really eat anything..."

"This researcher must be Cantonese..."

"This evaluation makes me want to eat it..."

The officer on the podium coughed hard, and the room instantly became quiet. He continued talking nonchalantly.

"Next, I will introduce our current response to the white fog mutation."

"First of all, it is the control of public opinion."

"In the era of the Internet, the old public opinion control methods are not enough to deal with complex and changeable public opinions. Due to the wide scope and serious circumstances of this white fog mutation, special departments have joined the public opinion control, and the main method is to publish a large number of Fake news confuses the eyes and ears, invites experts to comment, controls the content of replies to comments, deletes inappropriate content in seconds, and so on.”

"However, please note that this method can only be controlled temporarily. We need a longer-term plan to deal with the surging public opinion, including how to tell the public this reality without causing widespread panic in the society."

In this paragraph, the officer cited several classic cases, such as "Unfilial son jumped on the grave, the ancestor was so angry that he climbed out of the grave..." This news, a typical headline party, has neither pictures nor A sufficiently persuasive news report, on the contrary, tells at great length what experts have to say about mental illness. In addition, the control of news comments is also in place. Several comments that tried to speak out were quickly deleted. Only the comments that entertained the public were left and received a lot of likes.

Xu Shaoyang couldn't help showing a smile. This case was a proud case made under his leadership.

"This is a very, very typical case," the officer said. "First, it's fake news that can be used to confuse the eyes and ears; and second, there's extensive coverage of expert opinion here, suggesting that many ghost stories may be just psychotic. Fantasy; third, the comment area here is very well controlled, satisfying the spirit of the era's entertainment to death; fourth..."

This paragraph came to an end, the officer took a sip of tea and continued on.

"The next thing we're going to talk about is military control."

"It is obvious that monsters are constantly evolving as time goes on."

"My suggestion is to call the army quickly and destroy it directly!"

"We are currently trying to launch an attack on a location where the white fog has changed. The results of the attack can be found in the report starting on page 162. I will give you a detailed introduction here..."

Lectures on mutation have continued.

At this moment, at 12:12 on November 19, 2018, while the lecture was still in full swing, Shang Yinhe entered the game world for the second time.
