This Game Is Too Realistic

This is...where?

Who am I?

In the hazy fog, Jiang Xuezhou opened his eyes and looked blankly at the white haze around him.

Suddenly, the center of her eyebrows felt a slight sting. She raised her index finger and pressed it. The moment her fingertips touched her, the fuzzy memory gradually began to clear.

The first thing that came to my mind was my name, and then the date of my birth. The surrounding environment also changed accordingly, and the white haze turned into a vast expanse of snow.

"It's a girl..."

"...The brain cell activity is good, the physical fitness is good, and the hormone levels are normal. He is a good seedling."

"Thank you doctor!"

"You're welcome, this is what I should do."

"She looks just like you."

"Then... she'll be fine in Snow Island."

"It would be great if I could pass the exam."

Memory silhouettes flashed by like a slideshow.

She saw two groups of kind smiles, and saw the blurred outlines stained with white frost, and then watched the voice gradually turn into a sad look.

"Mom...Dad..."

She whispered in her mouth.

It seems that I have returned to my childhood.

At that time, the conditions at home were very difficult. Her father worked as a scavenger and her mother worked in a garment factory. Their staple food was potatoes and beets, which can also be grown in cold zones. Although cattle were raised in the settlement, that was entrusted to local management by the Science and Technology Committee. Livestock, most people may not be able to eat meat once a week...

She only remembered that her only wish at that time was to pass the Science and Technology Committee's assessment and enter the college to become a prospector.

That is the only way to change your destiny other than wandering in the wasteland, and it is also the only way in life planned by the Science and Technology Committee for all survivors.

As long as any family can train an apprentice, they can receive huge subsidies from the Science and Technology Commission... That is a wealth that everyone will envy. Her parents can live in a bigger house, and so can her brothers and sisters. Change to a more relaxed position and strive to contribute two more good seedlings to the Science and Technology Committee.

And for the lucky person who becomes an apprentice, he will live a prosperous and comfortable life from now on, without having to worry about trivial matters unrelated to scientific research.

etc……

Haven't I already passed the assessment?

And he also became the researcher that countless apprentices dream of...

A trace of panic suddenly appeared in Jiang Xuezhou's eyes.

I……

How did you come back?

She seemed to be unable to remember anything except what she saw before her eyes. An unknown force froze a certain part of her memory, limiting its flow rate, only allowing it to be released a little bit, and studying it in detail.

'answer me. ’

The voice sounded again in the dark, with a power to confuse people's hearts.

'Remember carefully...'

‘Apart from your closest relatives, who is the most important person in your life? ’

The most important person besides close relatives?

There was a moment of confusion in her eyes.

There seems to be no such thing...

After joining the exploration team, people would leave every now and then. She had become accustomed to jumping from one step to another, slowly forgetting the people she met in different life stages...including the one she had not seen for many years, and who may still remember her until now. She regards her father and mother, brothers and sisters as an honor.

Thinking about it this way...

Her life seemed meaningless, just a program designed to be just right and working pretty well so far.

It's almost like...

Same as "NPC".

It was beyond her expectation.

She originally thought that the voice in the dark would be as disappointed with her life as she was, but she didn't expect that the voice seemed to be very satisfied with her slowness.

A person on the fringes of society is undoubtedly easier to replace than a person standing at the center of the stage.

People don't have much memory about her, and they won't be surprised by the sense of inconsistency and changes in her.

It would be too easy to replace it.

It is easy to make people wonder whether it is necessary to do this.

At this time, the scenery in front of her changed again. The cold wind passing through her neck made her tighten her neck. She hugged her almost frostbitten arms and squatted on the ground.

Only then did she realize that she was squatting in the heavy snow, and the boundless wind and snow seemed to completely submerge her.

And in the distance, there are clusters of faint green light, like the eyes of alien species, or like the underworld fire that shines leading to hell.

Maybe...

This is my own ending.

Like most of the explorers who entered the ruins in confusion and died silently with confusion and regret, they still couldn't get rid of the boring fate.

Just when she was about to close her eyes and accept her fate, a figure suddenly walked out of the heavy snow.

He was wearing a jet black exoskeleton, and the bulletproof plate on his chest was dented by the impact. The roaring wind seemed to have a great impact on him, making every step forward difficult.

Who is this guy?

The voice seemed to be confused and did not answer her question.

The man called her.

"Hello."

A trace of panic appeared on her face, and she even forgot that her whole body was frozen, and she collapsed on the cold snow.

"Don't pass——"

"Stop talking nonsense, how long do you plan to sleep here." The man walked up to her step by step, ignored her reaction, and grabbed her arm.

Jiang Xuezhou instinctively wanted to struggle, but the man didn't want to pay attention at all and pulled him back hard without any explanation.

"gone."

Those were the last words she heard.

The surrounding scenery changes rapidly like a train window, and the world built from memory fragments collapses in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, she seemed to have entered another world, and the blocked memories flooded into her mind like a tide.

This feeling is like being pulled back to the shore from the deep sea, and the incomplete five senses also return with the big breath.

At this time, a hand took off the glasses on her head.

"ah!!!"

Jiang Xuezhou let out a frightened cry and quickly shrank to the wall and hugged his arms tightly. Only then did he realize that he was fully clothed.

The fair face gradually turned into the color of a lantern.

Fortunately, the person who took off the neural connection device on her head was not looking at her at this moment.

"Is this okay? I'll do my best whether it's okay or not." Ye Shi looked at Yun You and said.

Putting away the board, Yun You nodded, smiled and said.

"Well, we have successfully escaped. You did a good job."

"Real or false?" Ye Shi glanced suspiciously at the girl sitting in the corner with a red face, and muttered, "But I feel like there is something wrong with this guy's head."

Yun You was stunned for a moment.

"Maybe...it will be fine after a while?"

According to Zhuang Lan, if your xinxing is not strong enough, you will easily suffer from schizophrenia if you take off the glasses unless they are closed through normal means.

That is, wearing a neural connection device and connecting it to a memory retrieval device, entering a dream constructed from her memory fragments, allowing her to wake up from the dream on her own initiative.

Ye Shi originally didn't want to be in such trouble, but the "Madonna" from Ideal City said she couldn't leave the little girl alone.

In order not to affect the subsequent plot, he had no choice but to go to the entertainment room of the living area to find a neural connection device with a universal interface, and made a copy online with classmate Jiang.

Speaking of which, this guy seems to have had a long nightmare, in which there are alien species, mutants, and plundering...

He counted and found that he had cleared at least 2 dungeons just now.

But the final pass was surprisingly easy, so much so that he felt like he had done nothing but give her a hand.

Then she woke up.

He thought there would be some BOSS battle later, but luckily he was looking forward to it for a few seconds.

By the way, just before he brought the virtual reality device online to play the copy, the time bomb stuck on the floor-to-ceiling window had been defused by him and Yun You.

That thing turned out to be a miniature nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons.

Choosing to detonate near the reactor, it seems that the Enlightenment Society members intend to completely destroy the place after taking away the data here.

Gradually recalling the whole thing, Jiang Xuezhou slowly loosened his grip on his collar, blushed, lowered his head and whispered.

"……Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I just gave you a hand. If you want to thank me, just thank that person."

Ye Shi pointed at Yun You next to him with his chin, "She did a lot of the work, but I can't understand those codes."

Jiang Xuezhou blushed and nodded, and whispered thank you to her.

Looking at this polite little girl, Yun Yun crossed her arms, smiled, and said in a relaxed tone.

"You're welcome. Although we have only been together for a short time, we can be considered partners who have experienced life and death together."

partner……

Jiang Xuezhou silently glanced at Wali, who was lying on the ground, and Xiao Wang, who was scrapped beside him. He bit his lips lightly, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

Ye Shi walked over, put up Wali's arm, and lifted the Wilante man from the ground.

Although people are already cold, they still have to give the legion a chance.

"Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting too long."

…

living area.

Su Ming, Meng Liang and Pangolin, who had previously gone to the management office, were already here and were sitting silently at a dusty table.

Especially Su Ming.

㱗After watching the previous video of Lu Yang, he seemed to have changed. He didn't say a word all the way from the management office to here.

Sitting between the two of them, Meng Liang smiled bitterly, silently praying in his heart that his partner would come back soon...

Just then, the door next to me opened.

Three people walked in from outside.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time." After sitting at the table, Yun You glanced at the three people at the table apologetically, and then looked at Jiang Xuezhou, "You can sit down too... What we have to say next is very important. ”

Having learned the whole story along the way, Jiang Xuezhou silently pulled out a chair and sat down without saying a word.

Ye Shi temporarily put Wall-E in the corner, clapped his hands with a chuckle, and returned to the table to find an empty chair.

"... Let's discuss it about Project Torch and this 'Vault 0'."

Su Ming coughed lightly and was the first to break the silence in the room. He looked around at everyone in the room and spoke.

"I can't represent the position of the company, but...as an ideal city citizen, I think we should destroy this place."

After a pause, he continued.

"Physically destroyed."

The air was quiet for a while.

"I vote yes."

Pushing up her glasses, Yun You looked at everyone sitting here with a serious expression and continued.

"...With the current level of mutual trust between the various forces in the wasteland, there is no communication channel. Once such an evil weapon is unearthed, even if it is just a blueprint... everyone will fall into a prisoner's dilemma."

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.

"……What's the meaning?"

Yun smiled and was about to explain to this stupid kid who was confused but had good intentions. Jiang Xuezhou, who was standing beside her, took half a step ahead of her and spoke with a complicated expression.

"It means that the first person to 'press the button' will get the greatest benefit, so even those who are not interested in this weapon at all will have to participate in this competition, because no one can guarantee that others are not behind the scenes. to carry out this plan.”

Seeing that someone had already spoken for her, Yun You coughed slightly and said.

"...just like she said."

㱗In reality, the prisoner's dilemma is not absolutely unsolvable㱕.

The reason why prisoners become prisoners is because there are no channels for information exchange. If the channels for information exchange are opened, many problems will naturally be solved.

However, this is exactly why the wasteland is different from the real society.

Not to mention the Internet here, there is not even a phone line between the top management of the company and the college. There are huge differences between the collective social form and the thinking logic of each party.

Even an organization like the Alliance, whose management scale is not very large, has trouble with whom to contact when meeting the company for the first time.

Not to mention the huge organizations like the academy and the legion that focus on one route and have developed alone for a century and a half.

Once you enter the prisoner's dilemma, there is almost no solution.

Jiang Xuezhou stared at Yun You intently.

"But how can we ensure that you didn't get those research data? You just proposed destroying this shelter because you didn't want others to get it."

Su Ming frowned, stared at Jiang Xuezhou and stood up.

"You doubt us?"

"It's just a reasonable question, but your reaction now makes me feel even more suspicious." Being stared at by that murderous gaze, Jiang Xuezhou's face didn't look good, but he didn't give in at all.

This is related to the fact that she is no longer herself.

But the fate of many people...

Ye Shi glanced at her unexpectedly.

I always felt that this guy seemed to have become different after coming out of that dream.

Looking at the angry Su Ming, Yun You coughed lightly and said in a calm tone.

"Su Ming, Ms. Jiang from the academy is indispensable. There is at least one person from all parties involved here... so sit down."

"..." After hearing that undoubted fate, Su Ming didn't say anything and sat back silently.

He didn't really think about doing anything to a girl, he just wanted to scare this guy, but it didn't work.

If someone from the academy dies inside, the condition of blowing up the shelter without any external risks is no longer valid.

Even if they can blame the death of this female researcher on the Enlightenment Society, no matter whether the other party believes it or not, they are forced to prepare for the worst.

After all, the results of the two gestures are completely different between a person dying inexplicably and walking out of it openly.

Yun You looked at Jiang Xuezhou.

"What can we do to convince you."

It was beyond everyone's expectation.

Representatives from the college did not put forward any "artificially difficult" conditions for this opportunity.

After staring into Yun You's eyes for a while, she suddenly spoke.

"I believe you."

Yun You was stunned.

Just when she subconsciously wanted to ask why, Jiang Xuezhou looked away as if embarrassed and whispered to himself.

"...If you want to keep it to yourself, there's no need to go to such trouble to save me, right? I'm just an insignificant person anyway."

"So I believe you."

"And I hope... I won't regret my decision."

"Hey... I told you earlier, it made us so nervous." Ye Shi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on his chair.

Jiang Xuezhou stared at him angrily.

"Is it too much for me to think about such an important decision for a while?"

Ignoring this "ungrateful" guy, Ye Shi simply raised his hand.

"I vote in favor."

The reason is simple, the alliance cannot win this competition.

This is an objective difference.

Even if the Legion's research and development capabilities and scientific research personnel reserves are superior to them, the advantages accumulated over time cannot be filled up in just a few days and months.

Just like although there is only a wall between self-confidence and arrogance, the results are thousands of miles apart. He is still aware of this.

What's more, being dragged into a game with no profit will not do the league any good.

It is foreseeable that, except for the final weapon that restarts the world, the plan will most likely not produce any phased results that have a positive impact on society.

After also considering this issue, Meng Liang nodded.

"Ye Shi and I have the same position."

Except for Ye Juyu, everyone looked at the pangolin who didn't say a word from beginning to end.

There was only one person left who did not express his position.

However, the latter's answer did not surprise many people.

"Yes vote."

Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense expression finally relaxed a little. A happy smile appeared on Yun You's face, and she glanced at everyone around her gratefully.

In just a moment, they almost completed a miracle that was impossible in this wasteland.

People from four different places, the legion, the enterprise, the academy, and the alliance, at this moment, unanimously cast the same vote on the issue of the future destiny of civilization.

Just like those brave and ordinary people a few months ago, two hundred years ago, or even more distant past...

They made ordinary but not simple choices.

…

The bomb's timing restarts.

The group evacuated the shelter.

Before leaving, they spent some time to move the ten sleeping pods in Area X-13 to the entrance of the shelter.

The crew of the Pioneer had perished.

The people lying inside at the moment were all disciples of the Enlightenment Society. According to Zhuang Lan's confession, there was also a "guide" among them.

In the organizational structure of the Enlightenment Society, the "guide" is between the elders and the disciples, and is equivalent to the mentor of many disciples.

Although it is easier for these guys to let them die silently like this, as relevant personnel who have come into contact with those deleted data, let them carry the secrets in their stomachs and this world that they should not have come to from the beginning. Being buried together in a shelter is the best option for those still alive on the surface.

As for Zhuang Lan.

Logically speaking, it should be dealt with by the Weiland people. After all, she killed one of their captains, but both Su Ming and Yun You refused to do so.

"... We will not extradite anyone to the Legion, which would be equivalent to selling criminals to slave traders."

The pangolin was stunned for a moment.

"That's not good."

Before the alliance was established, they seemed to have sold captured raiders through the mines in Red River Town. This was nothing to be ashamed of.

He calls it efficient.

But soon he remembered his role as an undercover agent, his expression suddenly changed, and he glared at Su Ming viciously.

"What do you mean?"

Dare you be so sinister and angry with me?

Damn East Coasters!

Su Mingqian ignored him, looked at Ye Shi who was holding back a smile for some reason, and continued.

"One thing must come to one's own, this is our principle... At least in my opinion, it is the management of the Enlightenment Society who should be punished. Even if she killed the legionnaires, she still wants to do what the Velantes do to the prisoners. I still feel sick about those things, they are not just sending people to work in the mines... Do you want to hear about it? I heard some about it from the merchants."

Ye Shi coughed.

"No way."

It’s better not to play too heavy a game with Happy, he’s not the kind of person who has a bad taste.

Besides, does this kind of thing still need to be guessed at?

When they seized the Iron Heart earlier, they saved many poor people who had been abused by those big noses.

A warlord collective that adopts a feudal system, an airship or a manor can become a small closed kingdom, and the only thing that can restrain the behavior of these Weirant people is the moral sense of their superiors.

This happens to be the least reliable.

Even if the legion conquers half of the Middle-Continent, the most civilized place may only be the Triumph City under the rule of their marshal.

And even the Triumph City is only relatively civilized.

It is foreseeable that she will not be tried, and her final fate will only be tortured to death by the governor named Cohen.

"So I'll let you handle it. We won't give her to the legion anyway. You can do whatever you want." Su Ming shrugged. These words decided that person's fate.

Ye Shi felt that this guy talked so much nonsense because he just wanted to throw the trouble to the alliance.

However, this result is not harmful to the alliance.

Even if she is just a disciple, has the power and speed of three stages of awakening and is sent to participate in this kind of mission, she is at least an "elite monster".

If you put some thought into it, you might be able to get something out of her mouth.

With so many shelters and a geomantic treasure in the desert, the Enlightenment Society must have a lot of good stuff.

Thinking about the wrong memory retrieval device that I saw before, Ye Shi couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile on his face.

How about that one?

He feels that it is reasonable to retaliate against him.

It is necessary to make some suggestions to the managers.

"Hello……"

The voice coming from the side interrupted Ye Shi's thoughts.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a certain D-class researcher from the college standing there, looking like he had something to say.

This guy had never given him a good look, and Ye Shi had no interest in her, so he asked me impatiently.

"What's up?"

Jiang Xuezhou didn't speak for a long time.

Just when he was getting impatient with waiting, she said in a low voice.

"...Did you see it?"

"Huh?" Ye Shi murmured casually, not understanding what she wanted to ask.

Seeing this guy pretending to be dumbfounded, Jiang Xuezhou blushed, gritted his teeth, and finally suppressed the words on his lips.

"...Nothing."

Ye Shi: "???"

Damn it!

You have cat cakes!

After hastily changing the previous topic, Jiang Xuezhou continued.

"Right..."

Ye Shi rolled his eyes impatiently.

"What happened again?"

Jiang Xuezhou asked softly.

"That person... pretended to be me, right?"

Ye Shi: "Yes."

Jiang Xuezhou asked immediately.

"How did you recognize me?"

She had wanted to ask this question before she came out of the shelter, but she just couldn't figure out how to ask it.

Seeing that "adoring" look, Ye Shi smiled sheepishly.

This.

It's embarrassing to say that he is also a good player after all, but there are too many talented people in the group, so he can't usually show it.

Especially in terms of sleep.

He's not bragging, no one in the entire servo system is more awesome than him. Even the old lady who had lived for more than two hundred years was frightened, and he identified it at a glance.

"Hey, isn't that simple? It doesn't look like it at all."

Jiang Xuezhou was stunned for a moment.

"Not at all...like?"

Ye Shi said simply.

"Well, maybe it's because my senses are sharper. The moment that person stood at the door, I knew she was not you."

"...It's like I'm familiar with you."

Ye Shi waved his hand.

"I'm not familiar with you, it's just that you are you and she is her... They are not the same person, how can they be the same."

The fair face gradually became tinged with a hint of red. Jiang Xuezhou stared at him and gritted his teeth. Finally, he snorted coldly and walked away.

Ye Shi stared at the guy's back inexplicably as he turned and left.

Hey.

It’s really evil.

I originally thought I could trigger a hidden mission, or maybe I was so grateful that I could get some gold coins, but I turned around and left.

MMPD!

When did I provoke this guy?

…

On October 10, shortly after Su Ming and his party evacuated from the Industrial Building, a deafening explosion engulfed the No. 0 shelter.

The 10,000-ton equivalent released internally is enough to completely blow up the entire shelter, at least enough to completely physically destroy parts of the servo.

The "plan" brought out from the shelter and the video left by Captain Lu are enough to explain everything that happened here.

Although Ji Regret did not take away any treasure, it was still a barely satisfactory result for all parties.

However, to everyone's surprise, the chain reaction of the explosion caused the surface to collapse.

No, the power room is located right below where the Arbitrator landed.

Before those Weilante people who escaped by hiding in the buffer cabin could recover from their shock, fire broke out again under their buttocks.

Fortunately, it only had a yield of 10,000 tons, and the shelter itself absorbed most of the explosion shock wave.

If the equivalent was larger, I'm afraid not many people would be able to survive...

In the camp.

Adria found Chu Guang and said angrily.

"What happened to the explosion just now?"

Chu Guang looked at this guy with a strange expression.

What does it have to do with me?

However, considering the other party's eagerness, he coughed lightly and comforted him without any pain.

"I heard that it was originally an unfinished shelter. Maybe it was in disrepair...the reactor exploded."

Hearing these words, Adria suddenly squirted.

"How can third-generation controllable fusion explode? The critical temperature of that thing is several billion degrees!"

It could be tens of billions of degrees, he couldn't remember clearly.

But one thing he knew was that it was not a gasoline barrel that could be ignited by throwing a lighter.

Chu Guang shrugged and said with no comment.

"I didn't know. I'm confused now... I just hope that my people have come from below. They may know something."

Unlike the confused representatives of the legions, companies, and colleges, he actually knew a little about what was happening below.

Pangolin couldn't wait to go offline and report the latest plot to him.

Although he was surprised by the players' choices, he still expressed respect.

The league really doesn't need that.

He said.

In the end, he will stay with his residents.

Looking at the furious Adria, Chu Guang smiled and continued.

"By the way, if your airship cannot be repaired well——"

"no!"

Before Adria could react, McClun, who had rushed to answer in advance, pulled his arm, stared at Chu Guang warily and answered.

"We can repair it ourselves, we don't need your help!"

Looking at the suspicious General McClun, Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a dumbfounded voice.

"I haven't said anything yet."

McClun said with a dark face.

"I do not want to know."

Several Weiland people rushed towards the Yeye Building.

Chu Guang guessed that they should have gone to find Wali to understand the situation, but it was a pity that Brother Ga had been killed by the disciples of the Enlightenment Society.

At this time, his personal guard captain Lu Bei came from the side.

With his right fist close to his chest, the young man said solemnly.

"...Sir, the wolf cavalry of the Death Corps have locked onto the phaser cannon attacking us, but they have not found the enemy's headquarters."

Chu Guang frowned.

"Not looking for [?"

Lu Bei nodded in shame.

"Well...according to the report of a Wolf Cavalry, the local headquarters should not be nearby. They found a signal tower in the area near the signal source. The signal tower seems to be connected to other terminals through a wired connection. And it seems to be heading far away.”
