Chapter 279: End of the World
After the signing was completed, Guan Weizi was called away by a phone call. Before leaving, he asked Qiao Susu not to run around and to wait for him here.
Han Chen turned to leave, but Qiao Suisui grabbed the corner of his suit.
The man paused slightly, then turned around in a good mood and said, "What? Is there anything else?"
Qiao Sui Sui said: "Stop the erasure process."
Han Chen's face turned a little colder. He raised his hand and walked away without looking back.
An employee hurried forward. Seeing his badge, he was the manager of the game product department. He said to Qiao Suisui, "Please follow me. This program requires middle office operation."
Qiao Susu quickened her pace, no longer as calm as she had been during the negotiations.
"Where are the friends who came with me?"
"You mean Miss Ye? She's already waiting for you in the reception room."
Only then did Qiao Susu feel relieved and followed the staff to the middle stage.
The manager called up the real-time image of her world and saw that the situation over there was being broadcasted in real time on the huge electronic screen.
In the scene, Luka wasn't at the Imperial Court, but at the Interstellar Strategic Academy, with Harvis and the others. The four lion cubs were beside him, along with Summer and her brothers. Lilia clutched her father's clothes, watching the sky melt and disintegrate, the ground about to collapse, and cried, "Where's Mom? Where is Mom? What if Mom gets separated from us?"
Luka gently touched Lilia's head and said, "Don't worry, Mom will find us."
The scene cuts to a warmly decorated home where Carl is sitting on the sofa drinking a glass of wine.
The man's long legs were spread open and his arms were draped over the back of the sofa.
As the ground continued to shake, the chandelier on the ceiling crashed onto the coffee table, shattering the glass all over the floor.
Karl raised his head and took another sip, muttering to himself: “Tsk, this is her favorite crystal chandelier.”
Broken glass, mixed with stains of red wine, littered the expensive carpet.
Liberi stared at the red wine glass that he had just lost control of and was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, he was standing in Qiao Susu's hall, and had carefully packed the things she liked to use in a box.
Tyr, Vanessa and the others ran over, shouting in panic, "Father, this place is going to collapse, get out quickly!"
Liberi ignored him and continued to put away her favorite perfume.
"You won't be able to buy this anymore. It would be such a shame if it breaks. Sui Sui will be unhappy when she sees it when she comes back."
Federal Central Building.
Many people gathered in Zong Yan's office, all frantically trying to find a remedy.
"The crowd has been evacuated to open areas."
"The cause of this natural disaster cannot be detected at present."
“How long will the aftershocks last?”
Zong Yan just stood with his hands behind his back, looking outside quietly.
It was clearly daytime, but the sky was as dark as night.
The officer knocked on the door and entered, reporting, "Master Chief, Dr. Munakata has just taken your grandchildren from your residence."
Zong Yan waved his hand and said he understood.
He was old, and every day he lived was a blessing. Every day he spent with his children made him feel young again.
He stood in front of the French window and sighed, "They know how to look at the child, but don't they know how to look at his father?"
Munakata took all the children into an underground wine cellar.
Anubis was reinforcing the door of the wine cellar, and Sang Yan transformed into a dragon, transporting food and water to the wine cellar in trips.
Zongfang said to Josiah, "Take them in first, and then come out to help."
The boy nodded quickly.
Munakata put all the supplies into the space and said to Anubis, "Are you sure she can find this place?"
Anubis tightened the last screw and said, "This is where she took me to hide when I was being hunted. She knows the way."
Zongfang looked at the dark sky. Flocks of crows flew by like a moving black cloud.
Qiao Susu looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't believe that this was the world she once existed in.
The sky was so gloomy it seemed to collapse, thick with dark clouds, shrouding the earth like a thick, black curtain. On the ground, the trees withered, their leaves, lifeless and gray and brittle, scattered like ash in the breeze. The buildings in the city also looked dilapidated, their glass windows covered with cracks. From time to time, crows flew across the sky, their mournful cries as if announcing the approach of doom.
The entire world seemed to have fallen into an endless silence and despair, as if time had stopped flowing. In this apocalyptic scene, the only sounds were the wind and thunder. The former glory of the Orcs in the interstellar world seemed so insignificant in this desolate place, as if everything would vanish in an instant.
"If we stop erasing now, will everything be restored?" she asked in a trembling voice.
The staff member shook his head. "How is that possible? Unless we format this world. The erasure process is our special term for it. It's actually a simulation of the Fourth Disaster to legitimately destroy the game world. This way, the ending can be very natural, without any trace of human intervention."
"In other words, if we stop now, even though we won't be wiped out, everything after the disaster will already exist?"
"That's right. We have 29 minutes and 34 seconds left until complete annihilation. Are you sure you want to stop?" The staff member scratched his head and suggested, "How about starting over? With this level of destruction, it would take years just to restore the infrastructure. Even if you enter this world again, it will be the end of the beast era."
"Stop it. Stop it now."
The staff member glanced at the manager, got confirmation, and started working at the middle counter.
More than ten minutes passed, but the scene was still shaking.
The operator's face was covered with more and more sweat.
"What's going on?"
Qiao Suisui asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"I can't stop it. I don't know which code is causing the problem. It will take about an hour to troubleshoot it now."
Qiao Suisui's voice instantly increased. "There are still 20 minutes left, and you're telling me you need an hour?"
Her body trembled with anger, and she shouted, "Where is Han Chen! Let Han Chen come out!"
"Ms. Qiao, please don't get excited. We'll resolve this as soon as possible."
The manager asked all technicians to stop their work and help troubleshoot the problem code.
Qiao Suisui's heart was beating so hard that it filled her ears. She grabbed the manager and said, "Where's my friend? Call Ye Xi over! Go quickly!"
When Ye Xi heard what the manager said, she quickly understood the situation. The manager was about to take her over, but saw her sitting there with her computer turned on.
"Ye, you can't enter the middle office without the company's port."
"Who can your broken firewall protect? I've already connected to your port."
manager:.
Ye Xi's fingertips flew across the keyboard, and rows of fast-moving blue codes were reflected on the lenses.
At the same time, the staff hurried to Han Chen's office and said with a gasp: "Mr. Han, that, Qiao, Qiao"
"What happened to her?"
"She used our company's game pod to log into the game world, but that world was wiped out after ten minutes or so. She might never get out again."
It's starting to get cold recently, so everyone should wear more clothes. I'm also going to pack up and go to a warm place to write.
