Inside the Flame Core Base.
"Sizzle—!!!"
The moment the electric current exploded, Lu Nange put down her chopsticks.
The sound was so piercing, it felt like someone was drilling into my eardrums.
Everyone in the restaurant froze for a moment, then turned to look out the window—the sky-covering electronic screen was emitting a blinding white light.
"Let's go out and take a look." Lu Nange suddenly stood up.
The group rushed out of the restaurant.
The survivors pouring out of the various buildings all looked up, their pupils reflecting the eerie light in the sky.
In mid-air, the bright red countdown that had originally shown more than five hours remaining on the huge electronic screen disappeared.
Instead, there was a real-time view divided into countless small squares—covering the entire sky.
Scattered zombies roam among the ruined city streets and collapsed high-rise buildings.
In the crowded, dimly lit underground shelter, people huddled together, their faces gaunt.
A heavily guarded base, soldiers patrolling the walls, in a desolate, uninhabited wilderness...
"Damn it!" He Zhu cursed, his voice a little dry. "What the hell is this thing?"
Gu Qi squinted and tapped his finger in the air: "Quzhou City... Shashi City... The scene is switching."
Lu Xici: "It's not just a few places. Look at those seas, and the ice fields—this could be global surveillance."
“But the satellites have been defunct for a long time.” Luo Xingyou said, mouth agape, “Global communications were down… how did these images come about?”
Lu Beiye tugged at Lu Nange's sleeve: "Sister, look over there—that's our base!"
Looking in the direction he pointed, it was in the seventh small square of the third row in the upper left corner of the screen.
The towering walls, the staggered buildings, and even the tiny figures of patrolling team members walking on the walls.
Chi Yanzhou tilted his head back: "The visual angle is a direct, vertical view from directly above..."
Shi Xu: "That's impossible, we don't have any surveillance cameras above us!"
It's definitely impossible...
With current human technology, it is simply impossible to achieve such global coverage, real-time transmission, and such clear surveillance.
These angles, so high up, seem to have an invisible, enormous eye hovering outside the planet, coldly watching over every inch of land.
unless...
Unless the monitor himself is not considered "human".
[Welcome, my little ants!]
The cold, mechanical voice sounded again, unhurriedly: "[The rules of the game are now being announced.]"
In the center of the screen, blood-red text slowly emerged, each stroke appearing as if written with fingertips dipped in blood.
Your mission is to find the 'intruder'.
Intruder's warnings: 1. Possesses memories of two lifetimes. 2. Can provide items, resources, or objects that 'shouldn't exist in this world'. 3. Contains some kind of 'system'...
Lu Nange's heart skipped a beat... [He's practically asking for my ID number! Am I the intruder he's looking for?]
[That's right!] The mechanical voice took on a hint of mocking malice: [I'm looking for you, 'Intruder.' Are you... ready?]
Lu Nange felt a cold sweat break out on her back, but her face remained expressionless: [This...it's like she's talking to me!]
Mechanical voice: [Before you find him/her, these...]
All the split surveillance screens suddenly went dark, and then switched back to normal!
They all ended up looking the same – a dense, crowded mass of zombies, most of them half-zombie, half-beast, and a few pure zombies!
He Zhuo: "Yellow pupils...green...that's cyan!"
Gu Wan's face turned deathly pale: "Blue...and purple..."
Survivors around the world were in an uproar.
