Chapter 308 The reality of the train apocalypse
Youxi pushed open the glass sliding door and walked onto the terrace of the apartment.
This apartment is located on the 102nd floor. It is a fully open studio apartment with a total area of about 50 square meters. The interior decoration is relatively simple, and it exudes a sense of simplicity and technology everywhere. The only highlight is the south-facing terrace.
The terrace is not completely enclosed. When people stand on it, they can feel the whistling wind and feel like they are living on the top of the clouds.
This is the fifteenth day since they returned to the endless train reality of the apocalypse. The city scenes seen in the memory fragments have been filled in bit by bit.
This is a world with relatively advanced technology. The population is exploding, and the buildings are getting taller and taller. The city is full of tall buildings.
The suspended driveway passes through the forest of buildings. Three-dimensional virtual billboards are stacked in layers and colorful. Most people live in very small spaces.
The planet is seriously polluted, agricultural and animal husbandry production has dropped significantly, and food is scarce. Before the endless trains arrived, the planet had already fallen into a food crisis.
Fresh vegetables, fish, meat, fruits and clean water are all foods that only the rich can eat. Ordinary people live on synthetic protein foods and filtered water.
Youxi wrapped her coat tightly, looked at the long shadow that spanned the entire city below, and slowly raised her head.
The picture that appeared in the air was the part that did not appear in her memory fragments, but when she received this part of the memory fragments, she was almost guessing it.
It was a super long train, stretching across the sky in an anti-gravity and anti-normal posture, from far to near, and then from near to far.
About a few months ago, the shadow of the train suddenly appeared above hundreds of cities on this planet.
At first, people thought it was a mirage, or the reflection of a spaceship from some unknown alien civilization.
But 24 hours later, the shadow of the train gradually solidified, and major cities sent aircraft to approach for reconnaissance, but without exception, they all hit the invisible protective shield outside the train before approaching the train and exploded one by one.
After a series of harsh buzzing sounds, networks of all sizes across the planet were occupied by a strange signal. The signal claimed to be an "endless train game" and would send "train invitations" to the residents of this planet. The "invitations" were randomly distributed, hoping that the residents of the planet would have fun. The signal
only appeared for a short time, and the screen was a jumping snowflake plus text. Almost everyone thought that it was a prank by a certain country or a hacker master. Using something unknown in the air, panic was spread throughout the planet.
For a time, all countries took action to track down the signal and discuss various ways to continue to detect trains in the air. Many people advocated the use of strong force. After all, several aircraft that approached had been blown up before. This could be said to be a signal of declaration of war.
Some people also advocated that reconnaissance research should be the main focus. If we can find out what the layer outside the train is, we may be able to find a solution.
But all of this was broken at midnight that day.
At midnight, people from different countries all over the planet suddenly fell into coma.
People who were driving cars and flying aircraft, people who were halfway through talking, people who were halfway through overtime work...all fell to the ground. Traffic overturned in major cities, with many casualties. Hospitals were crowded with people who suddenly fell into coma, and public facilities were almost stopped late at night.
But later, when people figured out what was going on, they began to celebrate that the first sudden coma occurred at midnight, and most residents had returned home.
If this happened during the working hours during the day, not only some people would be involved in traffic accidents, but most of them. At that time, because a large number of people would be in a coma, countless deaths and injuries would occur.
Since then, every three days at midnight, there will be sudden coma incidents. The people in the coma are still random all over the planet, adults, the elderly, children, healthy people, patients... people of all ages and identities.
The first batch of comatose people have not woken up yet, and the second batch, the third batch... All the comatose people have normal body functions, but they are in a coma, just like a vegetable.
All the comatose people rely on instruments to maintain their body functions, but soon, some of the comatose people suddenly have problems with their body data, and they become brain dead within a few minutes.
Coma and death incidents affect the normal operation of the order, and the planet, which is already in crisis due to food shortages, is even worse.
People on the planet were in a panic. Large-scale looting and riots occurred in many cities. Various religious organizations emerged one after another, and the entire planet fell into chaos.
Fortunately, the country quickly announced some investigations. The most important point was that all the people who fell into a coma would inexplicably have a mobile phone next to them before they fell into a coma. As long as they did not touch the phone at that time, they would not fall into a coma.
If someone finds that they have a mobile phone that looks like it was made decades ago at midnight, do not hesitate, stay away immediately and call for help. Experts will rush to deal with the phone.
The vicious coma incident stopped, but soon, as the first group of people in a coma gradually woke up, the whole incident took a turn for the worse.
The number of people who woke up only accounted for 1% of the first batch of people who fell into coma. After waking up, most of them showed aphasia, intense emotions, trance, violence, disordered speech, etc. They were only in a coma for a month in reality, but they said that they had spent several years in the world of endless trains.
At first, no one believed it. Although the technology level on this planet has reached the level that the mind and senses can be fully put into the game through the game helmet - that is, a large-scale simulated sensory game, but no matter what, these people must wear game helmets to enter the game world.
It doesn't sound credible to fall into a coma like this and then enter another world with consciousness - until these people conjured up all kinds of supplies out of thin air, vegetables, food, fish, meat, fruit, purified water... all of which are the most scarce things on this planet!
They had always thought that the endless train world they were talking about was just a virtual world, but now why can they bring out real materials? !
This news shocked the entire planet. The countries on the planet began to study the experiences of these people in the endless train world, and promised to give them the most luxurious houses and the latest aircraft, and at the same time, they would enjoy various national welfare for life. The materials they brought back would not be taken for free by the country, but would be purchased at a high price...
Since then, the people have changed their usual behavior and started praying that they would be selected by the endless train.
It is said that most of those worlds have abundant materials, and currency is just a data. Even the poorest people can soar to the sky as long as they come out of the endless train world alive.
The country began to train its troops, and after the training, they touched the mobile phones they had collected and entered the world of Endless Train. The black market began to speculate on Endless Train mobile phones, and sometimes they were sold at sky-high prices.
Everyone was confused by the abundance of supplies, ignoring the ninety-nine people who died and were still unconscious out of the hundred people, and everyone thought that they would be the one who came back alive.
The country believes that trained and experienced troops will have a higher survival rate, but this is not the case.
All those who enter the world of the endless train will have part of their memory erased. This part of memory is the most critical, including all relevant information about the endless train: information about known stations, how to pass levels, key points to pay attention to and be vigilant about...
The endless train randomly selects people from all over the planet, and also gives the selected people the choice of whether to tie their mobile phones to enter the endless train.
In addition, for the sake of fairness, whether it is a military elite or an ordinary office worker, regardless of age, in order to make everyone's starting point the same, the endless train will provide a selection of supplies, weapons and skills.
The manifestation of these is that all the previous space points card materials are locked for the tasker, and they are only allowed to enter the game by choosing ten items and one skill provided by the endless train or owned by themselves, just like other people.
At the same time, all passengers can change their appearance and name in the game at will, which is like a vest, so that passengers will not make enemies in the endless train world and be sought for revenge by the enemy when they return to the real world.
Or because of the immoral behavior of passengers in the endless train world, they are publicly criticized after leaving the train...
Some people are lucky, and they trigger the Easter egg fragments after passing a few stations, and piece together their memories bit by bit. They vaguely know that they have to go back to reality, and they have been working hard for this goal, and finally return successfully.
But more people failed to trigger the Easter egg fragments, completely lost the information related to the endless train, went through many stations, killed countless people, and finally lost themselves and were trapped forever...
And Youxi's identity in this apocalyptic world this time is an outstanding member who graduated from the military academy. She has never been randomly selected by the endless train. In order to complete one of the main tasks of the world, she finally signed up for the training of the troops.
She carried out various mental and physical training and survival training through the online helmet. After everything was ready, she took the initiative to touch the unbound mobile phone and entered the endless train world.
Her mission is the same as most military personnel, to bring back as much water and supplies as possible.
She had been in the Endless Train World for more than half a year, but in reality, her body had only been unconscious for a week. Among all the people who had entered the Endless Train, this speed was also very amazing.
She knew that the people on this planet lacked all kinds of food, so she took out all the ordinary grains, vegetables, fish, meat, fruits and pure water stored in the space.
As for the special supplies she had stored at several special stations, such as the food in the "Fairy Tale Paradise", the generated water in the "Devouring Land", canned ready-to-eat food, soft alloy full-body auxiliary support, special material waterproof warm clothing, hemostatic drugs, drones... tens of thousands of liters of fuel, weapons, etc., she planned to bring them back to the original world.
In her view, the Endless Train World is not a virtual world, but a low-latitude world. The low-latitude world is also a real world, and these supplies can naturally be brought back to the original world.
But even so, the amount of supplies she took out astonished the troops.
She successfully completed the task, was promoted, and moved from her original cramped low-rise residence to this high-rise apartment.
She also had two spaces, one was her Star House Warehouse, where all the supplies she brought into this world were, and the other was the 450 cubic meters of ordinary space brought back from the Endless Train World. All the supplies obtained in the Endless Train World, including the things originally placed in the item grid, were in it.
After she woke up, it took only half a day for her body to fully return to normal, because she was only in a coma for a week, and her body just slept for a long time, and she didn't feel weak.
But since she woke up, she has not been able to contact her friends, of course, except Xing Min.
As soon as they returned to the real apocalypse, the geographical restrictions on their communication were gone, and she also remembered the things about Xing Min before entering the endless train.
The aboriginal he possessed this time was originally a seriously ill patient and was very weak. Not long after he came, the aboriginal was selected by the endless train, so he had almost only time to tell her before entering the endless train.
Unfortunately, after entering the endless train, all the memories of the two and the endless train were cleared. Like other friends, they only remembered what happened before entering this apocalyptic world.
Most of the aboriginals can still know who they are, where they come from, and what family they have after entering the endless train world, because they have really lived in this world, unlike her, who is just an outsider.
She found Xing Min in a run-down hospital in the slums. He told her that because of his physical condition, he was not fit to stay. Fortunately, Youxi had completed the more difficult main mission of the world. The remaining mission was to survive for three years. Adding the months she had passed before entering the endless train, she now had two and a half years left.
This mission was not difficult at all when she had abundant supplies and her ice-controlling plant ability was restored.
So in the end, Xing Min left the body of the aboriginal and returned to the spaceship system of the native world, and maintained communication with her through the spaceship system as before.
**
After breakfast, Youxi changed her clothes and went out. Her aircraft was parked in the aircraft garage on the 20th floor. She needed to take the elevator down to the 20th floor first.
There are 20 to 30 households on the first floor of this building, most of them are wealthy people with good living conditions, or people who have connections in the army.
A young couple lives opposite her, the husband works and the wife stays at home.
When she went out, she saw the two of them saying goodbye at the door as usual.
The husband said to his wife: "I may work overtime today. If I come back late
, you don't have to wait for me, go to bed early." The wife shook her head: "How can I sleep if you don't come? I'll prepare supper for you. What do you want to eat?"
"I love everything you cook." The husband kissed his wife on the cheek and said goodbye to her.
Youxi: ...
Early in the morning, I saw this dog abuse scene again.
This couple probably got married not long ago and are still in the sweet period, so this scene is played out almost every day.
After the wife saw her husband off, she saw Youxi and nodded to her with a slightly blushing face, then went back to the house.
Youxi took the elevator to the 20th floor. The flying vehicle in this world is similar to the low-altitude suspension vehicle in the world of the Seven Hells. The appearance is much smaller than the low-altitude vehicle. There are only four seats inside, and it flies by suspension magnetic power. It must be used on a specific suspension magnetic channel. It
only takes ten minutes from her apartment to the building where she works now. This is a privilege given to her by the army, and she was assigned a relatively close house. Her current job is also very easy, which is to provide various training for team members who want to enter the world of endless trains.
Although the relevant memories of everyone will disappear after entering the train, the body's reaction ability and the fighting and survival abilities imprinted in the mind will not disappear.
Manual teaching is also very important, because who knows when someone will trigger the Easter egg fragments and regain their memories bit by bit. At that time, as long as the current teaching content is remembered a little bit, it will be of great help to them.
Because of this, Youxi himself filled all the space with supplies when he was in the Devouring Land, so that he could take out as many supplies as possible after returning.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Youxi got off work and went to the supermarket opposite the training center as usual. In this world, except for the lack of food and clean water, other supplies are still sufficient, because most items are made of synthetic materials.
For example, there is no difference between real cashmere sweaters and synthetic sweaters when they are worn, unlike food, which can be distinguished as soon as they enter the mouth.
Because the supermarket is very close to the training center building, uniformed military personnel can be seen here from time to time.
When Youxi passed by a shelf, she glanced inadvertently and her sight passed over a tall and straight figure. She didn't pay attention at first, until she took a few steps, she suddenly realized that the figure just now seemed familiar?
She returned to the previous shelf, but she couldn't find the person anymore.
This matter was so small that it was insignificant, and she paid attention to it because of that inexplicable sense of familiarity, but she soon forgot about it.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Youxi drove the aircraft back to the garage on the 20th floor.
On the way to the elevator, she turned the corner of the garage, and the black and white stray cat in the corner meowed at her again. Youxi smiled, took out a can of synthetic meat as usual, opened it and placed it in front of it.
On this planet, even canned synthetic meat is a high-priced item, but the taste is very hard to describe. Of course, the cat doesn't seem to care about this. Every time he eats it, he smells delicious and looks very happy.
She squatted there and watched the cat for a while, then got up and went to the elevator.
She pressed the floor button, and when the elevator door was about to close, someone hurried over: "Please wait a moment."
You Xi seemed to be prepared, and her finger on the button did not leave and directly pressed the door opening button.
A young girl ran in, panting and begging, and as usual, she said thank you to her in a grateful tone, and then reached out and pressed the 35th floor.
The other party seemed to come back at about the same time every day. This was not the first time she met the other party. Every time it was so coincidental, always running and shouting when the elevator door was about to close.
At 7:30, Youxi returned to the apartment and chose a favorite meal from the space for dinner.
After dinner, she packed up the garbage, filled the water tank in the shower room with water, heated it up, and took a comfortable hot shower.
After that, she nestled into the bed, turned on the stereo screen to listen to the news, and took out the tablet in the Star House warehouse to play a movie she liked.
At 11 o'clock in the evening, she checked all the doors and windows of the apartment again, used metal cups to make alarms, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
A dreamless night.
Her working time is 9 o'clock, plus the previous preparations, she always goes out at about 8:30. Occasionally, when she wants to go out for breakfast or has other things to deal with in advance, she will go out earlier.
If you go out early, you usually can't see the couple next door.
Today, she has nothing to do, so she goes out at 8:30 as usual, and sees the young couple kissing each other as usual.
This time she didn't pause, she smiled and shook her head, and went straight to the elevator.
Behind her, the familiar voice of her young husband came: "... You don't have to wait for me, go to bed early."
"How can I sleep if you don't come? I'll prepare supper for you, what do you want to eat?"
"I love everything you cook."
