When was it downloaded?
Ye Mo returned to the office, stretched his waist, made a simple cup of instant coffee, sat down and waited for the hot coffee to cool down, then picked up the phone and put his finger on the survivor app on the homepage.
He was about to click the cross to 'delete'.
Thinking that he might have to work an extra half hour today, he gave up deleting it and clicked on this APP instead.
The two projects in Ye Mo's hands have recently entered the final testing stage.
From materials to products, the most done is to wait for the test results. Due to some confidentiality regulations and subsequent product adjustments, many results can only be received and adjusted on the company's intranet.
If you encounter overtime work that is purely waiting, especially night shifts, the boring time will be stretched to a considerable length.
At this time, compared to watching videos, studying, and reading, playing various games is the best way to pass the time.
Ye Mo is a frequent gamer.
From PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Tetris, Don't Step on the White Blocks, Bingo Crush, to Find the Differences, Dream Detective, Dead Island, State of Decay, etc., he accepts all.
He has maintained many boring honor records, such as Bingo Crush, which has been capped at more than 2,000 levels.
Compared with the R&D department, the otakus and otakus in the product testing department often "work overtime" like this.
Therefore, Ye Mo has downloaded a lot of messy mobile games,
so he treated the Survivor app as a new game that he accidentally clicked to download, but he didn't know whether it was fun or not.
As soon as the app was opened, a black frame with a red background popped up: [Earth's first round of internal testing: Login (83811/100000)].
??? ???
This game login did not show that a mobile phone number or WeChat account was required, as if it was only a pure tourist login mode.
The numbers in brackets behind the black internal test login button were increasing rapidly, and soon the number of game internal testers had exceeded 90,000.
This number made people feel quite urgent, and Ye Mo clicked "Login".
The number jumped to (98936/100000) in the blink of an eye, and then 10 seconds later, the game internal testers (100000/100000) were full.
[Detecting...]
[Reserve rookie Ye Mo has been detected to be in China, selecting the reserve copy...]
[East Asia copy selection successful, now being deployed...]
A series of mechanical voices popped up in his mind, and before he could think about the content of the mechanical voices, Ye Mo's eyes went dark and he lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.
...
"Where is this! Why am I here?"
"Who are you?"
"私はどこにいますか (Where am I)?"
"Did you click on the survivor app to get here?"
"Holographic online game?"
"Хулгайлах (kidnapping)!"
"Fuck, why am I wearing a skirt like this?"
"гэж! гэж (Oh my God)!"
Ye Mo regained consciousness in the noise. There were already many strangers talking around him. Some were questioning and scared, while others were screaming and excited, speaking in various dialects.
Most people spoke Mandarin or plastic Mandarin. Are there very few Japanese or Korean? Or other minority languages?
Anyway, it was all chatter and I couldn't understand what they were saying.
At this moment, Ye Mo could feel that he was lying on the ground with his face up, and his left hand seemed to be holding a mobile phone.
What happened?
With a head full of questions, Ye Mo moved his hands and feet slightly, and then he remembered that he was in the office before he fainted. The
feeling of uneasiness rose suddenly.
After listening to the conversations of the people around him for a minute and calming down his chaotic thoughts, Ye Mo opened his eyes.
It was pure white.
The ceiling was white, the floor was white, and the walls around were also white. It was initially estimated that there might be 300 people in this white space.
Nearly one-third of them woke up.
Most of those who woke up were young and middle-aged men, and there were nearly twenty girls, and they all looked good.
Some gathered in groups to find a sense of security, some collapsed on the ground in confusion and fear, and some looked for an exit near the white walls around them, but they couldn't find even a crack in the ground.
Ye Mo reached out and touched the ground.
The white ground was very smooth, not a common wall material. It had a certain metallic luster, but it was not dazzling. The most peculiar thing was that it had a certain natural temperature, neither cold nor hot, and good dirt resistance.
It was a material I had never seen before.
Looking at herself again, her clothes and shoes were all unfamiliar. There was also an unfamiliar red handbag at her feet, which contained some napkins, umbrellas, membership cards, transportation cards and other items.
The mobile phone in her hand was not hers either. The content was in traditional Chinese, and the address book was full of unfamiliar names and phone numbers. She
was wearing a pair of unfamiliar glasses on her face. The frames were purple-red full frames, the lenses were very thick, and the degree was also very high.
Ye Mo looked at her left hand again. Regardless of the size and color, the small black hemorrhoid on the palm was too obvious. This body did not seem to be her own.
This was very scary.
...
"Miss, where are you from?"
A man next to her, who looked to be about 30 years old, with regular features and a black suit, raised his hand to greet her.
Ye Mo: "Chinese."
"My name is Wang Yang, also Chinese. What's your name, beautiful lady?"
"Li Jing." Ye Mo answered one of the names that is said to be repeated the most in Baidu's data ranking.
Next to Wang Yang was a middle-aged man with a strong body and a simple and honest face named Zhao Rong. He immediately asked: "Jing sister, you also logged into the survivor app and came here in a flash!"
Ye Mo nodded.
"Me too, me too!" Not far away, two more young men stood up and raised their hands.
"You recite 'copy mission' silently or aloud, and the survivor system will tell you what's going on."
Zhao Rong was the first one to wake up. When he woke up, there was a mechanical voice in his head reminding him to accept the mission, and he also got some benefits. Of course, he didn't need to tell others about this benefit.
It's just that he doesn't know foreign languages, and there are obviously more than Chinese people in the space. So he chose to cooperate with Wang Yang, who woke up second. Wang Yang is a sales manager of an insurance company, and his English is okay.
But not everyone can speak English.
East Asia often refers to five countries, China, Japan, South Korea, North Korea, and Mongolia.
The survivors in the space are these five countries, and the people of the latter four countries combined are less than one-third of the Chinese.
Among them, there is only one middle-aged man in Mongolia.
He was able to have a conversation with a friend from Inner Mongolia, China, and that was no big deal. For the first time , many people learned that Mongolian has many different languages, such as Khalkha Mongolian, Chahar Mongolian, and Balin Mongolian.
When they met people who didn't understand English and couldn't communicate, Zhao Rong and Wang Yang just gestured to them so that they could understand.
Not long after, a red-haired woman named Linda who could speak four languages joined them. She knew Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese.
Except for Mongolian, she spoke all of them fluently. It was said that she was of mixed race from many countries, and also had European and American ancestry.
Ye Mo silently recited "copy mission" and the mechanical voice appeared in his mind again——
[Reserve promotion copy "Doomsday Supermarket"
Main Mission: Survive for 10 Days (0/10)
Side Mission 1: Kill Zombies (0/2)
Note: Death in the copy, failure to break through the level, wiped out; failure of the main mission, failure to break through the level, wiped out. ]
"Eliminated? Doomsday? Zombies?"
Ye Mo could hear the sound of his heart beating wildly. When he got up from the ground, his legs were weak. He pinched himself and confirmed again and again that this was definitely not a dream.
Even the body can be changed, it is hard to say whether it is true or false to wipe it out.
Ye Mo began to try to recall the contents of some doomsday movies, doomsday novels, and doomsday games. The most impressive ones were doomsday games, such as Dead Island, The Walking Dead, and Doomsday Survival.
...
More and more survivors were awake in the space.
With the help of Zhao Rong, Wang Yang, and Linda, most of them heard the mission information of the doomsday copy. They were either suspicious, or afraid, or even excited... The situations were different.
"What are zombies?"
"Have you seen the movie Resident Evil?"
"What is Resident Evil?"
"Yes, yes, a kind of zombie."
"Is this true?"
"What game?"
"Who are you?"
"Wow..."
"What do you mean
by annihilation?" "Will we die?"
Although everyone looked polite, they were divided into large and small groups according to language and country, nervously waiting for the unknown copy.
Until an old lady with gray hair finally woke up, and ten minutes later, the mechanical voice in everyone's mind sounded again: [The Doomsday Supermarket copy was successfully launched].
The author has something to say:
Ye Zi: A friend of mine who worked the night shift at the lab often played during work...
Ye Mo: Friends are made out of nothing.
Ye Zi: ...
