Game loading

Ruan Jiyan logged into the social software early the next morning and found that yesterday's hot search had disappeared.

This is only the first day of trending searches, it is unlikely to drop so quickly, which means someone is deliberately suppressing it.

She searched for the key words, but found none. Her guess was correct.

Most likely, the government does not want people to panic too much.

Ruan Jiyan turned off his phone. The news had already left traces, and it was impossible to keep it completely unknown to others.

On the contrary, doing so may become a cause for people to panic, making things even more obvious.

She walked to the balcony. The sun had just risen and the golden light filled the city. Everything seemed full of vitality.

She looked at the surrounding environment. She lived on the fifth floor, and downstairs she faced a lawn full of flowers of various colors.

Good, it can cushion the huge downward momentum.

She got up, went into the bedroom, got a retractable clothes hanger, and went out.

The retractable clothes hanger is placed on the passenger seat, and it is her weapon to deal with unexpected events.

Although nothing big may happen in these two days.

Ruan Jiyan drove all the way to an old market in the south of the city. Although it was an old market, all legal items were for sale there.

She parked her car outside the market and walked in with a retractable clothes hanger in her hand.

Transactions here are generally made in cash, but there are also shops that accept credit cards.

Ruan Jiyan took a wallet, but did not bring much cash as it would be too conspicuous.

She wandered around and ended up buying some practical items needed for survival in the wild.

After someone helped her load the things into the car, she drove to a pharmacy in the city and bought a lot of alcohol and some medicines.

Then she went straight home.

Ruan Jiyan moved things several times. She put some small items in a backpack and carried it on her back, and she also held a lot of things in her hands.

When I was getting on the elevator, I met my neighbors opposite, an elderly couple. They had just finished breakfast and were about to go out for a walk, when they ran into Ruan Jiyan, who was carrying a lot of bags, at the elevator entrance.

Ruan Jiyan had not left her house for two or three days before entering the game, and the elderly couple across the street had not seen her for a long time. When they met here, they both greeted Ruan Jiyan warmly.

"Xiaoyan, where did you come from so early in the morning? Why did you bring so many things?" Grandma asked her with a smile.

Ruan Jiyan also smiled at them and said, "I'm going to go play outdoors with my friends in a few days, so this is just some preparation in advance."

She lied without blinking an eye, and the couple believed her and told her to be careful.

Ruan Jiyan nodded, and then she reminded the couple a few times: "Grandma, if you have time, you should stock up on some supplies at home. Yesterday... I saw on the news that there might be a new outbreak."

Although the news was trending, the elderly people probably wouldn't go online to look at such things, and the couple were usually very nice to Ruan Jiyan.

"Oh, really? Then I'm going to the supermarket to buy some more things."

After the two men finished talking with Ruan Ji, they prepared to leave.

"Old man, go ask Old Wu and the others to order more things later." Ruan Jiyan walked into the elevator and listened to the conversation between the two people gradually fading away.

Before this kind of news is officially released, there will always be people who are optimistic and only a few people will believe it.

Fortunately, the old couple believed her words, so she didn't have to worry about the couple's daily care.

After returning home, Ruan Jiyan packed up all his things and divided the items he had stockpiled into portions, dividing the food according to two meals a day.

I also made some simple modifications to the knives I bought, making them easy to hold and use.

Ruan Jiyan's house has two bedrooms and a living room. The second bedroom was originally her study, but now it is filled with the things she bought and has become a storage room.

Afterwards, she called the merchant who made the custom door and asked them to come to her house to help install it.

It was already past seven in the evening when she finished all the work. It took her a long time to pack up and clean the bathroom.

After doing so much physical work, her legs were sore from exhaustion and her stomach was ravenous.

Ruan Jiyan opened the refrigerator and saw the refrigerator layer was filled with fresh vegetables and fruits. She thought about it and decided to open two bags of bread to deal with it.

Not only did she not want to cook, but these fresh vegetables were hard to come by when real trouble came.

Although this is the second day of the foreshadowing and she has not seen anyone infected in public, she still thinks it is good to go out less often.

While chewing bread, Ruan Jiyan turned on her computer and planned to send an anonymous email to the city government through the city’s people’s complaint mailbox, but she gave up in the end.

First, this is a game copy. Even if she really sent the email, even if they really believed and took measures, it might not change the situation.

Second, if they didn't believe her, she would be considered a panic-monger after she sent them an email, and they could track her location to find her. She didn't believe she would be safe in prison, after all, there were so many people there.

Ruan Jiyan suddenly became dispirited and patted her head.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She quickly finished the bread in her hand, climbed up from the low coffee table, put on a pair of slippers, and walked up to the rooftop.

Don't forget to carefully observe the terrain along the way.

To be honest, although Ruan Jiyan lives here, she has never been to any other places except the routes she must walk every day, such as the rooftop.

But she seemed to remember that the rooftop of this building was a very beautiful place. It didn’t matter whether it was beautiful or not. The important thing was to see if there were any special passages or things that could be used.

The whole building has fifteen floors. Ruan Jiyan took the elevator straight to the fifteenth floor, then walked out of the elevator and climbed the stairs, not forgetting to take a look.

The door to the rooftop was open, and Ruan Jiyan ran up quickly.

The door to the rooftop is a two-layer aluminum alloy door. To be honest, Ruan Jiyan liked this door, but she only looked at it twice and ignored it, and she couldn't take it away.

The rooftop was quite spacious and there wasn't too much clutter, but she observed it carefully for a long time and didn't find any special passages.

The sky was slowly getting dark. Ruan Jiyan stood on the rooftop for a long time enjoying the breeze. When she was about to go downstairs, she suddenly heard the cry of a kitten.

The sound was faint, but Ruan Jiyan had a very sensitive hearing and recognized it immediately.

She followed the sound to find the kitten, but it was dark and she couldn't determine the kitten's exact location.

Suddenly, something flew out from his side, and Ruan Ji dodged subconsciously.

"Meow--"

The little cat ran out by itself and almost jumped onto Ruan Jiyan.

Ruan Jiyan paused twice, then slowly extended his hand towards the kitten.

Then she felt a ball of fur in her hand. She slowly stood up, held the kitten in her arms, and went downstairs.

After bringing the kitten home, Ruan Jiyan discovered some tricky problems.

For example, this kitten has no cat food to eat, nor any toys, snacks, or cat litter.

But now there is no better living environment that can be provided for it. If it continues to wander around in this building, it might soon become... a zombie meal.

"Ding Dong——" A very strange notification sound came from the phone.

Ruan Jiyan was very surprised. She stopped combing the cat's hair and took out her mobile phone to take a look.

A message similar to a spam game popped up, and Ruan Jiyan didn't even click to read it carefully, and was about to delete it.

But I found that I couldn't delete it.

"The game copy has been opened. The "Game Loading" copy game has been opened. Players can check it on the game forum."

"The game qualification has been sent to the player's mobile phone via SMS. There is no option to exit. The player can only move forward. Unless he dies, he can only survive by completing the game."

"The number of players has been confirmed... The identities of the players have been confirmed..."

Text messages came one after another, and after the last message appeared, a time countdown automatically appeared on Ruan Jiyan's phone.

Afterwards, the countdown was imprinted on her wrist and could not be erased.

Countdown: 18 hours.

That is twelve o'clock tomorrow morning!

Ruan Jiyan called the system twice, but there was no response from the system.

What about the system? Is it malfunctioning?

Ruan Jiyan's mood was a little complicated at the moment. These messy things gave her a slight headache.

By the way, the message on my phone just now mentioned a forum.

Ruan Jiyan turned on his phone and found a forum bookmark directly on the main interface. He could enter it by just clicking on it.

She clicked in to take a look and found that the forum did not have a dedicated name, but the players' posts still had names.

"What's that weird text message?"

1L: As the title says, what are those strange text messages that appear on my phone?

2L: Replying to 1L, you didn't finish your question. What the hell is this forum? I clearly didn't download these things, let alone the games it mentioned!

3L: This is a playground, but I don’t know how to explain it.

Ruan Jiyan read two replies. Apart from the 1L and 2L players who asked two questions, the other players' replies were all asking what the 3L player meant.

Looking at 3L's reaction, Ruan Jiyan felt that he must be a dungeon player, because some people didn't seem to realize that this was a game.

But there are also many people like 3L who are trying to explain the meaning of the text message and the playground.

Ruan Jiyan stopped watching them quickly build a building with messages, and just quietly left. Then, after hesitating for two seconds, he decided to post a message to remind everyone.

"An explanation and reminder about text messages and playgrounds."

1L: I started this thread to explain the text messages and forum information that appeared in your mobile phones.

2L: Simply put, the world has become a playground, and some situations will occur that cannot be explained in scientific language.

3L: But this is not an important matter, because we can't change it. All you can do is to prepare more food and self-defense tools. Protect yourself and don't get hurt by those crazy zombies.

The first three replies were all from Ruan Jiyan alone, and there might be some confusing language, but she didn't have the energy to read them carefully word by word.

Less than a minute after Ruan Jiyan posted the message, there were many replies under the post.

Ruan Jiyan took a quick look. Some said she was sick, some were terrified and asked her for help, and some were still confused and asked questions...

But she didn't plan to reply to any of them.

She turned off her cell phone, picked up the cat, gave it a bath, and then took it to bed early.

This may be the last good sleep time she will have, so she should cherish it.

But she didn't know that the weather outside suddenly changed.
