This Game Is Too Realistic

The Heart of Steel floated above the clouds, and a "Viper" transport aircraft drifting from a distance gathered the plume of the plasma engine and stopped on the steel-paved deck.

Four men in gray robes were escorted by four players in exoskeletons and emerged from the Viper's cabin.

One of them suffered a gunshot wound to his left leg, which was simply bandaged and was limping. The other three were not shot, but their disgraced looks showed that they had suffered a lot.

But here, no one would sympathize with them.

They are all apostles of the Torch Church.

Or war criminals.

In just a few hours, at least tens of thousands of survivors died directly or indirectly from the interference of Band 03 of the psychic interference device.

Countless people suffered mental breakdowns.

About twenty soldiers from the Guards Regiment were waiting beside the tarmac early.

Seeing the group of soldiers with live ammunition, Yuer's face turned slightly pale as he stood in the middle.

He is the head of the parish of Pinecone Wood Farm and the head of the research on Band 03. If he is captured, the Tribunal will definitely not leave him alone.

Seeing these guys and the airship under his feet, he doubted whether the tribunal had the ability to fish him out.

"Anti-gravity device... you have actually absorbed anti-gravity technology!" He muttered in his mouth, but no one paid him any attention.

In order to prevent him from hiding something like a locator or listening device, a soldier stepped forward and put a metal ring equipped with a shielding device around the necks of him and the other three apostles.

One of the apostles tried to resist, but received a blow from a rifle butt before he surrendered.

Looking at Ye Shi standing in front of him, Lu Bei raised his right fist and knocked on the left side of the breastplate, then gave a clean military salute.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"You're welcome. Ask me, my husband, the manager. I'll leave the rest to you." Ye Shi, who gave a military salute, said with a smile.

Lu Bei nodded, watched him get to the plane, and then led the four gray-headed guys towards the elevator.

There was no communication along the way.

Yule finally lost his composure and asked aloud.

"Where...are you planning to take us?"

Lu Bei didn't say anything, and went straight to a door, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open.

Looking at Zhao Tian'er, who was lying on his back on the ground, Yuer's pupils suddenly shrank, his face became even paler, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

The man in blue power armor looked him over, then looked at the soldier standing next to him.

"Come one by one, the others will find a place to lock up first."

"yes!"

The man nodded respectfully, then waved his hand and led a group of soldiers to lead his three colleagues to other places.

Soon only Yule was left at the door.

Standing alone at the door, he saw the man wearing blue power armor looking at him. He accidentally met his eyes and felt a shiver in his heart.

Those pupils were as deep as black holes.

Just looking at each other for a moment, he felt as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, exposed to the sun without reservation, and burned by the light.

No secret can be hidden...

As a researcher, he does not believe in such an ethereal thing as the soul, let alone that there is anyone in this world who can read a person's soul through his eyes.

But he still couldn't help but dodge his sight.

At this time, the man spoke.

"What's your name?"

"Yul." He didn't want to say a word, but he blurted it out subconsciously, which also made him feel annoyed.

Chu Guang looked into his eyes and continued.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

Yule raised his head and stiffened his neck and said.

"clear……"

He thought that the person would ask him the reason for doing this, but in the end, the person didn't ask anything and just nodded briefly.

"That's right."

The tone in which the matter was settled made Yule feel a little surprised.

I didn't say anything, why did this guy act like he knew everything?

Could he really be able to read minds?

There was a trace of panic in Yule's eyes, but he soon felt ashamed of this stupid idea, and the panic gradually turned into anger.

How could there be such a metaphysical thing!

This guy must be bluffing!

If you think he will be frightened so easily and explain everything in one go, then you don't know him well.

If this is a necessary sacrifice, then sacrifice yourself.

Yule raised his head, pretending that he would rather die than give in, and spoke bluffingly with a stiff neck.

"Haha, I can't say a word -"

Before he finished speaking, a pair of glasses hung on the bridge of his nose.

Yule was slightly stunned when his vision was blurred by the dark lenses.

This is...

For a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.

Memory extractor? !

Why do these guys even have such a thing!

"wait for me--"

It's a pity that the word "said" has not yet been uttered. As the sound of "buzzing" electric current penetrated his eardrums, his consciousness was instantly broken like a computer that was forcibly shut down.

"Hey."

Dragging Yule from behind, Hanshuang vigorously dragged him to the corner and sat beside him.

Looking at the unconscious Yu Er, Chu Guang's expression showed no mercy.

That memory extractor was seized from the Enlightenment Society. Its working principle is to weave dreams from the most fearful fragments in the user's subconscious, and seal the user's memory, only allowing it to flow out bit by bit, repeatedly It peels off the cocoon until finally nothing remains.

The more you resist, the more painful it will be.

In theory, this device can not only squeeze people's memories, but also help people remember things they don't even remember.

Because it would cause a certain mental load, he would hardly use it in interrogations.

If he was deceived, coerced, or had unspeakable difficulties, he would give the guy a chance to be frank and lenient.

But this guy said it himself, and he knew it.

In this case, if they are treated in the same way, they will probably not have any complaints. Compared to the survivors of Pinecone Wood Farm, this punishment was still too light for him.

Looking at the doll sitting on his shoulder, Chu Guang asked.

"Xiaoqi, how long does it take to retrieve memory?"

Putting her index finger on her chin, Xiao Qi, who had already connected to the memory extractor, closed her eyes and thought for a while.

"Well, an hour or two should be enough?"

It said in an uncertain tone, its eyes suddenly opened, and it let out a light sigh and continued, "...This guy actually has a bionic crystal in his head?"

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"Any questions?"

Xiao Qi looked at Sun Eclipse standing aside and whispered.

"Eclipse, can the security program on the crystal be fixed? I'll forward it to you."

Eclipse nodded expressionlessly.

"It's not a big problem."

While saying this, the light blue data stream was reflected in the center of its pupils.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xiao Qi quickly looked at Chu Guang and gave a thumbs up proudly.

"It's not a big problem, Master! Feel free to leave it to Xiao Qituo!"

Chu Guang: "..."

never mind.

In short, the result is wrong.

…

The memory retrieval is quickly completed.

In fact, it would take a lot of time according to the normal process, but Xiaoqi placed the memory retrieval program on the server of the shelter.

The data processing capabilities of the shelter server are completely different from the processors that come with portable electronic devices.

A less vivid comparison is that one is a rocket and the other is a bicycle.

It's like putting nitrogen gas on a bicycle.

One hour in a dream is only equivalent to half an hour in reality.

In fact, if there were not a limit to the speed at which the brain can process information, the speed at which memories can be read would be even more exaggerated.

But even if Xiao Qi showed mercy, the brain of the apostle whose memory had been extracted was still bearing a considerable load.

Although the person has woken up, he is no different from a vegetative state, and is even more exaggerated than a vegetative state.

Looking at You'er who kept gazing at the wall, Chu Guang couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.

"So is he awake now or not?"

Xiaoqi's expression was a little subtle.

"Uh... I'm probably awake, but not fully awake."

"What's the meaning?"

"To put it simply, the picture he saw was still the dream based on his memory, but the brain had actually restored control of the body... So in our eyes he was facing the wall, but in his own eyes, He probably just walked from the living room to the kitchen."

To put it simply, he is a high PING warrior?

In the eyes of other players, 中中 has been facing the wall, but in the eyes of the player himself, it has moved from the B package point to the middle gate.

Chu Guang's heart moved.

"Like sleepwalking?"

"Well, although there are some differences, the meaning is almost the same."

When speaking of this, Xiao Qi added in a low voice.

"I suggest it's better to pin him down...otherwise he might eat strange things for breakfast."

"Like shoes or something."

Chu Guang nodded, looked at the soldier on the side and told him to take this guy to the solitary room and stay on the bed for two days.

Don't let this guy get into trouble.

Several young players passing by happened to see the guy standing against the wall, and they immediately started whispering to each other excitedly.

"Is this NPC stuck on the wall?"

"BUG! It's a BUG!"

"Awesome, this game really has bugs!"

Although bug planners fix bugs in every version, no one has ever seen what a real bug looks like.

This time we can see it!

Regardless of the prisoners, Chu Guang returned to the captain's room alone, sat on a chair, picked up the virtual reality device on the table and put it on his head.

He tapped the side of his index finger lightly and said.

"Xiaoqi, help me connect and extract 㳔's memory."

The energetic voice quickly reached his ears.

"Okay master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, light blue light particles spread out from the center of his field of vision to the surroundings, turning the hair that touched him into another appearance.

First the floor, then the table and chairs, then the walls - the room under his feet changed from the captain's room to a pure white room.

Chu Guang has never seen this place before.

But from the nurse who took the baby, the baby lying in the mother's arms, and the man who looked like his father standing next to the hospital bed, he could probably tell that this was the delivery room.

People in the delivery room were busy, and the couple discussed sweetly what name to give to the child in their arms.

No one noticed the stranger in the station room.

After all, this is "Yul's" memory, and he does not belong here.

Chu Guang stretched out his hand and passed it through the nurse on the side. Then he walked to the window and looked out the window.

The green plants outside the window are lush, the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant... I didn't expect that even such details are perfectly captured.

"Why did you send me here?" Chu Guang's voice was filled with helplessness.

He has no interest in getting to know a little person.

Even though this memory may be important to that person, it is insignificant to him and this wasteland.

If he really had to read the memories of these twenty or thirty years from beginning to end, he wouldn't do anything else.

Light blue light particles flickered.

Chasing Chu Guang into this memory, Xiao Qi, who had transformed into a human doll, sat down on his shoulders, swaying her calves and said shyly.

"I'm sorry, Master... I'll drag the progress bar!"

Looking at Xiao Qi's shy smile, Chu Guang always felt that this guy did it on purpose.

Seeing that the master didn't speak, Xiao Qi asked in a low voice with a guilty conscience.

"Then...starts when he joins the Torch Church?"

"Um...wait."

Just as Chu Guang was about to nod, his heart suddenly moved and he noticed a detail.

Looking beyond the lush green plants outside the window, you can see towering buildings and the endless flow of cars from a distance... even the ideal city is inferior to it.

This is obviously not a wasteland.

This guy actually came from before the war?

"...Starting from the memory before he entered the dormant cabin," Chu Guang paused, then changed his words and continued, "I want to know which shelter he entered."

However, Xiaoqi's answer was beyond his expectation.

"He's not a shelter resident."

Not a shelter dweller?

Chu Guang frowned slightly.

"Then take me before he enters the hibernation capsule... I want to know the reason why he chose 'time travel' and how he went to the future."

With that said, Chu Guang left the window, sat next to the bedside table, and looked at the holographic screen suspended above the electronic clock.

The year is now 2100.

The 75th year of the Prosperity Era.

At this moment, the prosperous age is at its peak, and people have built a utopia on the earth, and they have gained infinite satisfaction, both materially and spiritually.

And just ten years later, in 2110, industry and academia will once again liberate people's imagination of a better life in the future.

The graviton channel and FTL engine will officially open the door to the interstellar era. The ticket to the world beyond light years will no longer be a one-way ticket with no return, but an adventure that anyone can take.

Of course, not all good things come with the future. Taking a step forward can discover new treasures, but it also means more new problems.

For example, just 13 years later, the psychic interference device developed to replace the "infrasonic fence" was originally used to drive away dangerous alien species that harassed the colony, but the third state protection zone of Qingquan City, its home planet, was exposed to suspected brainwashing and The shocking scandal of human experimentation.

The incident was so big that even the authorities were implicated, but it was obviously just a minor episode for the people in Living Utopia.

Chu Guang felt that even if he could talk to the people in front of him across time and space, no one would believe that the infant lying in bed at this moment had done something two hundred years later that would make even Satan stunned.

And if he told the people here that it was just a small episode in the distant future, and that all the good things would end in 29 years, he would probably only be regarded as a strange lunatic.

The year is now 2100.

There are only 29 years left until 2129, the first year of the Wasteland Era...

He vaguely heard that the mother named the child in her arms "Yu Er", and then Chu Guang saw the scenery around him fly by with the progress bar dragged by Xiao Qi.

Like many people of that era, Yule had a happy childhood, successfully entered school, and then found a job...

When the scene settled down, the clean and bright delivery room had turned into a simple and spacious office. From the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, you could see floating clouds and tall buildings like a forest sea.

The young man in a formal suit stood in front of the desk, talking excitedly to his boss sitting behind the desk.

Chu Guang did not listen carefully to the content of their conversation, but immediately paid attention to the clues containing time information.

Soon he found what he was looking for on a holographic billboard outside the floor-to-ceiling window——

It is July 13, 2121.

Three days later is the day when a hot-selling household security robot will hold a press conference. The pre-order price is only 100,000 credit points - but these are not the main points.

According to the history that Chu Guang knew, Vault 79 and its "Yongshi" plan were launched last year.

There seem to be signs of the end of the prosperous age.

People began to feel anxious about the future, consciously or unconsciously, and the consensus that tomorrow would be better was gradually replaced by doomsday theories.

And anxiety itself is a business opportunity.

Companies selling home shelter solutions and protective gear have made fortunes, and his company is certainly no exception.

Chu Guangyi glanced around the office and was surprised to find out when he saw the items on the desk, my dear, this is actually the headquarters of "Champion" Pharmaceuticals!

The researchers at Vault 79 are all die-hard fans of this company, and even the coffee beans are branded by this company!

But——

He always wanted to complain.

Is it really okay for pharmaceutical companies to sell coffee?

The conversation between the two people in the office gradually became clearer.

"...radiation resistant agent?"

After reading the report in his hand, the boss touched his chin. The expression on his face was unpredictable. The employee standing in front of him described it in an exaggerated tone.

"That's right! I bet that this new anti-radiation agent will definitely become the next growth point for the company's profits! And it will be an explosive growth!"

The two of them are not Yuul.

But this is Yul's memory, and that guy is obviously nearby.

Chu Guang looked around and didn't look for him, but he quickly thought that the guy was only 21 years old and might just be a newbie in the workplace, so he immediately walked out of the office.

Sure enough, that guy was at the door.

He was holding a male bag in his hand, his eyes were wandering around, and some very subtle expressions could be seen. He must have just left the campus not long ago.

Although he looked younger, there was no doubt that this boy was the person he had just interrogated.

Seeing Yuer paying close attention to the conversation in the office, Chu Guang also focused on the two people in the office.

If Chu Guang guessed correctly, the new project they were discussing at the moment was the formula of "Blue Mushroom Synthetic Anti-radiation Agent".

In a sense, this formula has indeed saved many people.

At least most of the mercenaries in Boulder City relied on this thing to survive. The first pot of gold in his wasteland was also earned by selling that mushroom.

"...A more professional term is DNA self-repair technology! We have discovered a special active substance in a blue fungus that can repair macromolecules in objects damaged by neutron rays."

"It's a good idea... but with all due respect, medical nanobots can do a better job."

Putting the report in his hand on the table, the man who looked like a boss interrupted the subordinate's ramblings in front of the desk, spread his hands and said.

"We are a technology company. With all due respect, using mushrooms as medicinal materials... sounds like the idea of ​​ancient people."

However, Yule's senior did not give up, but continued to argue with reason.

"War, friend, I'm talking about war years! Of course I know that nanobots can perfectly repair damaged macromolecule nucleic acids, proteins and enzymes, but where can you find that kind of thing in war years?"

"Compared to nano-medical robots that require a huge industrial chain to support, my plan will be much more practical! Even if the worst happens, suppliers are completely paralyzed, and the supply of materials around the world has skyrocketed. , we can still provide our consumers with cheap and reliable anti-radiation drugs... Of course, it’s okay to be a little more expensive, we have an unparalleled cost advantage!”

This time, the boss sitting behind the desk did not immediately refuse. He touched his chin with an interested expression on his face.

"Sounds interesting."

Everyone felt that parting ways with the colonies was a high probability, and war seemed to have become the only way to resolve differences.

To this day, nuclear weapons are still the most efficient things that can wipe objects from the surface of the earth. The only difference is the method and scale of delivery.

A high-quality and low-cost anti-radiation agent is undoubtedly much more practical than any nano-robot in an era when radioactive dust is flooding.

In the end, Yuul's senior Cheng Mi convinced the two bosses.

Even though the process was not easy, he wasted a lot of time.

Looking at the seniors who came out of the office, Yuer immediately stepped forward and asked.

"How's it going?"

A bright smile appeared on the senior's face.

"It's done! The boss promised to lend us the research institute in Jinhe City. As long as we can produce visible results, he will fight for more budget for us at the board meeting... Time waits for no one, you Pack up the information before getting off work, we’ll leave early tomorrow morning!”

Hearing these words, Yule's face showed surprise, and he clenched his fists excitedly. However, he was so clumsy that he only managed to choke out one sentence for a long time.

"Very good!"

The senior smiled slightly and patted his shoulder.

"work hard."

Looking at the two people walking towards the elevator, Chu Guang showed a hint of surprise on his face.

If he remembered correctly, the "Champion" Group only had one research institute in Jinhe City - the one given to him by the academy.

At this moment, that research institute is controlled by mutants...
