Chapter 10 Space
As Lu Ming endured the pain all over her body and pulled the trigger at her solar plexus, she thought that her fate would either be death or a safe return.
I never expected that there would be a third possibility!
She listened to the familiar roar in her ears and didn't want to open her eyes.
She gritted her teeth for a long time before finally making up her mind. "It's a knife to the head!"
She suddenly opened her eyes and sat up, only to see the room was completely dark. She got out of bed and walked towards the window. When she looked out, she saw a small black car parked downstairs with its front end hit a telephone pole!
She quickly touched her thigh, a familiar spot, familiar gauze. Although the wound no longer hurt, she was absolutely sure that this was the same body as before!
Shit! Are you kidding her?
Since she's not dead, why not send her back?!
Why are you still here??
Also, how did she get from the car to this building?!
"It has been detected that the player's mood is fluctuating greatly. Customer service number L181 is dedicated to serving you." The familiar boy's voice made Lu Ming grit his teeth.
"Fuck you, I want to complain, I want to complain, do you know that?" Lu Ming roared.
Suddenly, a handsome young man appeared in front of him. He was wearing a silver-white tuxedo and gave Lu Ming a gentlemanly salute.
These are the service styles customized in advance by Luming.
"We are very sorry. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you by our system failure. I have saved your complaint intention and will report it to you as soon as the connection with the main system is restored." The boy said with a smile.
So, does a fatal injury really have a protective mechanism? Lu Ming touched his forehead in fear.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense and send me back first." Lu Ming was very angry now.
The young man bowed again. "I'm very sorry, but I'm currently unable to connect to the main system, so your request cannot be fulfilled."
Lu Ming was shocked: "What?! Then when can you two broken systems get in touch?"
"The main system is already undergoing emergency maintenance. According to my calculations, it will take about two hours."
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll wait for two hours."
The boy smiled. "Perhaps you've misunderstood. Two hours refers to two hours in your world. Since you're currently in the game, that translates to, uh, twenty-six years."
Luming: “…”
???!!!!!!
Lu Ming was so angry that he lost the ability to speak.
She gritted her teeth for a while: "Then can you guarantee my safety? Find a safe place for me!"
The boy nodded. "That's no problem, but before I offer you shelter, I suggest you first understand the current situation."
Lu Ming: "...Just tell me." Let me see how you can still attack me!
The boy said, "Let me introduce myself first. Each of our customer service departments is a subsystem dedicated to handling player-related matters. You should be aware that our scenario storylines are customized based on the character selected by the player. However, you were accidentally transported to this scenario, and because the main system is unable to provide me with power, all plot details in this storyline, including your current identity and the ending, are fixed and cannot be modified. Due to the actions of the protagonist in this storyline, all humans in this world will be completely extinct in seven years, and the outside world will become extremely dangerous. Of course, the shelter is absolutely safe."
Holy shit! Ten thousand critical hits!
"Then can others live in the shelter?"
The boy smiled: "No."
Why did they let me stay at home alone for more than ten years?
"Is there a net in the shelter?"
The boy was smiling: "No."
A critical hit!
Lu Ming refused to give up: "Is there really no other way to change the ending?"
"Yes. The scene is restarted and the storyline can be reset."
Lu Ming's eyes lit up: "Okay, then restart it quickly."
The boy smiled: "After the scene is restarted, all player data will be cleared, including the consciousness of players who failed to successfully return to the original world."
Lu Ming: “…”
"Alright! So, if I don't want to die alone, I have to change the ending of the story myself? So what should I do?"
The boy said: "Due to certain balancing rules, I can't reveal anything about the storyline to you. I'm very sorry. But you can first understand the background information and the direction of the story. This is what players can understand before starting the game. I believe that after reading it, you will be able to draw your own conclusions."
"OK."
A screen of light appeared before Lu Ming's eyes, with a text on it:
In 2091 AD, Earth was suddenly struck by the strongest geomagnetic storm in history. Power was cut off worldwide for three days and three nights, and auroras of varying colors appeared over cities. Satellites were damaged, communications were interrupted for months, and the world was plunged into panic.
However, half a year ago, a biological virus developed by a certain country leaked, leaving the entire town without a single survivor. As a last resort, the country had to use heavy weapons to destroy the entire town to prevent the virus from spreading.
Unfortunately, the missile attack did not completely destroy the virus. Instead, it caused the virus to spread in the air. Due to the dual influence of radiation and geomagnetic storms, the virus mutated and evolved from transmission through body fluids to dual transmission through air and body fluids. When it encountered the human body affected by the geomagnetic storm, it produced a series of changes.
As a result, a few people evolved and gained various superpowers. Some people remained ordinary people, while most people turned into zombies, relying on their biological instincts to eat and spread the virus. The infected humans would then become new zombies, and the cycle would repeat.
People with special abilities are more tolerant to viruses than ordinary people, but they are not absolutely safe and can still mutate if infected by a serious virus.
The water, soil, and air have all been polluted, and plants and animals have mutated and are no longer suitable for consumption..."
Lu Ming suddenly realized something, and she looked up the information about superpowers and the main story line.
After reading it, Lu Ming curled his lips, thinking it was a clichéd plot.
Those selfish people who exploit each other without sincerity, for the sake of power and desire, kill anyone who can threaten their status in the cradle, so that human beings cannot evolve as fast as zombies, and eventually they reap what they sow, and human beings have since become extinct.
Lu Ming used to hate people like this the most when he read novels and watched TV dramas. They thought the whole world had to revolve around them, demanding absolute control and tolerant of any disobedience. How shameless of them to still live in an imperial society?
Lu Ming is ready to go, and she said that she is determined to wade into this muddy water!
Wait, Luming almost forgot, "Hey! Aren't you going to compensate me for your mistakes?"
The boy smiled again: "I was just about to tell you this. You will receive our compensation gift package. You can choose 1-3 props from the compensation products. They can only be used in this scene."
Lu Ming rubbed his hands together, determined to choose three of the most awesome props so that he could instantly slay everyone as soon as he went out, and make the zombies kneel down and call him daddy!
Soon, three boxes appeared on the screen, which read: Shelter Space x1, Antiviral Potion x1, Any Character Story Line x1.
Lu Ming was stunned. This was it? Didn't they let me choose?
The boy received her death stare and added calmly, "Yes, the compensation packages are all here. You can choose any one."
Knock your mother! There are only three in total, what the hell is the point of choosing!
Ah! Lu Ming once again felt the deep malice brought by this crappy game.
She swore that she would blacklist this game forever when she returned!
"I want both... bring them to me."
There was a flash of light, and Lu Ming felt a burning sensation on his left wrist. He looked closely and saw a gorgeous silver bracelet on his wrist. He held a bottle of lavender potion in his right hand, and a search box appeared on the light screen in front of him.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I remember you guys offer a custom appearance service. Can you change the appearance of the prop? It's too exaggerated and inconvenient to wear."
Boy: "Of course. But please rest assured, without your permission, all your props can only be seen by you."
Eventually, the bracelet turned into a plain red string and the potion became transparent.
After all, he was an old hand who was familiar with many routines. Without him saying anything, Lu Ming entered the space in a flash of thought.
Lu Ming looked around and saw the clear sky, the green grass, a two-story villa not far away, and a spring to the right of the house.
The spring was very special, a stream of water suddenly emerged from mid-air, flowing downwards into a stream, and finally converging into a pond, next to which were several fields and a few huts surrounded by fences.
Lu Ming was very curious about what she saw. Most of the things here had been obsolete for hundreds of years and she had only seen them in video materials.
The young man beside him began to explain. "The Shelter is a unique, top-level item in this scene. It upgrades automatically by constantly absorbing energy, and different levels have different effects. For example, level one is for strengthening. Everything the space produces strengthens your body, and every month it can help you strengthen and upgrade your body. Level two is for healing, which can heal wounds in a short period of time. And so on. You can explore slowly, and all the information will be backed up for you later. Now, you can visit the second floor of the house. There are unexpected surprises for you."
