Chapter 214 The Final Battle (VI)
The time and space she was in at the moment was infinitely stretched, slowed down, and even stopped.
All the sounds around her gradually faded away, and the whole world fell silent. Then her vision, touch, and smell slowly disappeared. She seemed to be trapped in a world of endless darkness. After just a few seconds, suddenly at some point, all her senses returned!
Feeling dizzy, Lu Ming subconsciously grabbed the person in front of him.
The man held her shoulders and asked, "Lulu? What's wrong?"
When Lu Ming heard Gu Chao's voice, she felt it was quite strange. When the dizziness passed, she looked up and saw Gu Chao looking at her worriedly. She felt strange, and then she looked around and was even more stunned.
How could this be... ?
Seeing her stunned look, Gu Chao thought she was worried about him, that's why she showed such an expression. He was very reluctant to let her go, so he touched her head and said, "Don't worry, my ability level is high, I will be fine."
This sentence again?!
Lu Ming was completely stunned and looked at Gu Chao speechless.
Why is this happening?
Cheng Ming was still standing there, and the zombie was not far away!
What happened??
Was everything that just happened just an illusion?!
After Gu Chao finished speaking, he kissed her lips gently, and without waiting for her to answer, he used his airflow to carry her far away and put her down.
Lu Ming's heart began to beat violently.
What happens next?!
The members of Chaoyang Team rushed forward without hesitation!
When Lu Ming turned his gaze behind Shen Qing, waiting for the zombie to appear, he did not see its figure the next second.
On the contrary, the zombie suddenly appeared behind Cheng Ming!
Lu Ming was utterly shocked by this scene. She couldn't make sense of the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before her eyes. She wondered: Was all that really just her imagination?!
However, this time, because he had no foresight, although Cheng Ming had tried his best to erect a mental barrier, he was still unable to withstand the huge suction force around the zombie and failed to control it. Instead, he was turned into a pile of bones...
"Old Cheng!"
"Deputy Captain!"
"Brother Cheng!"
Gu Chaolin, Yan Song and the others watched Cheng Ming die in front of their own eyes. They all went crazy and rushed forward.
"No!" Lu Ming screamed, looking at their irrational actions, he exerted force on his feet and ran towards that side.
However, after running a few steps, she saw Gu Chao turn his head and look at her.
She saw him with red eyes and silently said to her: I'm sorry.
Lu Ming's breathing stopped for a moment, and alarm bells rang in his heart. What was he trying to do?!
After saying these three words, Gu Chao turned his head, jumped up, and used the airflow to bounce away the teammates who were running over with him. Then he stretched out his hand, sucked the energy gun from a nearby soldier, and jumped straight in front of the zombie!
He resisted the strong suction around it and tried his best to raise the gun in his hand. It can be seen that in this process, as he kept approaching the zombies' attack range, his skin began to wrinkle and sag, his muscles atrophied, and his black hair turned white. Then, just before closing his eyes, he tried his best to raise the gun in his hand and shot it in the head!
Everyone else was stunned and didn't know what to do. Only Shen Qing, who was behind the zombie, raised his gun and fired bullets with his lightning ability at the zombie.
The zombie raised its head and roared, and then the colored lines around it instantly turned black, and the range expanded, covering Gu Chao!
"Ah!!" When Lu Ming saw this, he screamed wildly and his whole body shook like a sieve.
"Boss!"
"team leader!"
The other teammates also roared and their eyes were bloodshot.
A moment later, a dazzling light burst out from the zombie, followed by a "bang!" and the zombie shrank into a black dot and disappeared.
As for Gu Chao, only a white skull was left.
"Achao!!!" Lu Ming rushed over, rolling and crawling. When he got close, he felt weak all over and suddenly knelt down in front of his bones, covering his forehead. He couldn't say anything, and his heart felt like it was being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.
No, no, no!!!
Why is this happening? ?
Lu Ming looked at the skull on the ground, her vision blurry. She slowly reached out her hand to him...
However, before she touched the bone, that strange, indescribable feeling came again!
Time and space are infinitely stretched, slowed down, and stopped.
The five senses disappeared, and after a moment, they returned again.
The familiar dizziness came over her, and she had already gotten used to it. She swayed a few times and then stabilized her body.
"Lulu, what's wrong?"
When she heard the familiar voice, she burst into tears and suddenly reached out to hug the person in front of her.
Only when you have lost something will you understand how lucky and grateful you are to have it.
"Achao...Achao..." She called his name over and over again, using such force with her hands that Gu Chao felt the pain, as if she wanted to embed him into her body.
"Okay, don't cry, don't worry, my ability—"
"Shut up!"
However, before Gu Chao could finish his sentence, Lu Ming interrupted him loudly.
This liar!
How can it be okay!
He was clearly prepared to die together with the zombies.
Lu Ming took a deep breath and whispered in his ear, "I have something to tell you."
Gu Chao bent down and said, "You say."
"Before the zombie dies, remember to stay three meters away from it."
Gu Chao was wondering why she said this when he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach and bent down subconsciously.
Lu Ming punched him hard, then took advantage of the gap to push him away, turned around and jumped towards the zombies!
She was so fast that even Gu Chao couldn't stop her!
"Lulu!"
Gu Chao yelled behind her, then chased after her with extremely quick reaction.
However, it was still too late.
Lu Ming jumped to Cheng Ming's side, pushed Cheng Ming away with a palm, and then faced the zombie that suddenly appeared!
At the moment when a strong suction force came, she took out a grenade, pulled out the pull ring, and sent the grenade and herself into those gorgeous colorful lines.
Then, boundless darkness came.
She lost consciousness instantly.
It seemed as if someone was running towards her from behind, as if someone was calling her name, but it also seemed as if there was nothing.
The world turned into nothingness.
I don’t know how long it took, but I suddenly felt dizzy, followed by severe heart palpitations. Lu Ming blinked his dry eyes and saw Gu Chao in front of him.
I heard him say, "Lulu? What's wrong?"
Lu Ming suddenly felt discouraged.
While calming her pounding heart, she looked around at everything around her.
Then he nodded and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Chao seemed to be puzzled by her calmness, but he said nothing. He kissed her, then used his air flow to sweep her away, turned around and rushed towards the zombies.
Next, Lu Ming witnessed countless different endings of death.
All of her teammates had died countless times, and she went from feeling pain at the beginning to gradually calming down and becoming numb.
She knew what was going on.
That zombie can not only speed up time, but now it can also reverse time.
Moreover, it retains all previous memories.
This can be seen from the fact that it changes its first target of attack again and again, while others are repeating their previous words and actions.
But for some reason, she could still remember it.
Maybe it’s because she is not from here.
After being heartbroken again and again, she gradually got used to it.
She looked around at the faces of everyone around her, watching the killing process become more and more difficult, and figured out a fact.
That is, once this zombie dies, it will return to this point in time until it kills everyone and only it survives.
Everyone, including her who has memories, is actually trapped at this point in time, unless it can win.
Whether it will succeed is beyond doubt.
She also suddenly remembered what the customer service said when she first got her space props.
He said: "The ending of this scene and story cannot be changed."
The ending of this scenario is that humans are completely extinct five years after the end of the world.
In the original story, the capital bombed the entire South, and what ultimately threatened humanity were the fused zombies and marine mutant creatures, and there was no such zombie that could manipulate time.
This time, marine life is no longer a threat, but this nearly invincible zombie that shouldn't have appeared did, and even attacked all the way to the capital, leading tens of millions of zombies to besiege the city.
In other words, even if they eliminate this zombie, other things may appear later.
In short, no matter what they do, they cannot change the ending that humans in this scenario will become extinct in the fifth year of the apocalypse.
Different paths lead to the same destination.
unless......
Reboot.
Change the ending of the story.
Another wave of dizziness came over me.
Lu Ming reached out and hugged the man in front of him.
"Lulu?" he asked worriedly.
Lu Ming actually wanted to laugh at this moment, because she suddenly thought that they had died many times in various ways but had no idea, and now they were still comforting her.
"I'm fine."
As she spoke, she raised her head and stared into Gu Chao's eyes.
This time, she didn't wait for him to speak, she took the initiative to tiptoe, kissed Gu Chao's lips, and then whispered: "I love you."
Gu Chao keenly noticed that something was wrong with her mood, and his heart, which had been relatively calm, began to beat violently.
He also suddenly had a bad feeling.
It's like the anxiety of knowing that something important will be lost in the next moment.
He couldn't help but reach out and hold her arms, and asked in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you?"
Lu Ming smiled at him and stuffed the things he had just prepared into his hands.
Gu Chao looked down and saw a red rope and a small white bottle in his hand.
He recognized it as her space bracelet, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly closed his palm and clenched it tightly, then grabbed her hand fiercely, looked at her and asked: "What do you want to do?!"
Lu Ming looked at him quietly with a tender gaze.
She didn't know what she would face, would she return to reality, or would she disappear?
She only knew how much she would miss this person.
These three years have passed by so quickly, like a dream.
She was so reluctant to leave.
If possible, she didn't want to do that at all.
But there is no way.
However, at this moment, there was no extra time left for her to say goodbye, as the zombie suddenly appeared behind them!
Gu Chao was startled and suddenly hugged her in his arms, using his body to block her.
And she whispered to him, "Goodbye."
Gu Chao suddenly opened his eyes and looked down, then saw her turn her head to look at the zombie and said without any emotion: "Restart."
In an instant, everything around froze and time stopped.
A bright light appeared beside the zombie, and then the long-lost exclusive customer service representative appeared, bowed to Lu Ming, and asked with a smile, "Dear player, are you sure you want to follow the instructions just now?"
"I'm sure."
"I have to remind you that the connection between our system and the main system has not yet been repaired. If this scene is restarted, all player data will be lost, including your consciousness."
"So, I'm going to die?"
"Not only that, although this scene will not be restored to its original state, it will automatically repair the missing data and replace the traces of the player's past existence to make the current scene storyline logical."
"In addition, the ending of the story after the restart is uncontrollable. It will be planned according to the current trend."
"Even so, do you still choose to restart?"
So, what this customer service means is that not only will everyone who knew her forget her, but there’s also the possibility that someone else will appear and take her place and stay with them in her place?
And she would disappear silently like this, and no one would even remember that she had ever been here, that she had ever been their partner, comrade-in-arms, or even lover, as if she had never appeared.
She doesn't want to, she really doesn't want to, why?
She couldn't bear to leave them, couldn't bear to leave him.
Her heart aches.
But what can she do?
Will she watch them die one after another in front of her, and finally hide in the space alone for more than ten years, wait until the system is repaired, and then return to reality?
Is such a life meaningful?
She was even more reluctant.
Okay, that's it.
She looked at Gu Chao who was motionless in front of her and reached out to touch his face.
"It's better to forget me, so you won't be sad."
Tears welled up in her eyes, she kissed him and choked, "I'm leaving, won't you hug me?"
"Okay, I'll hold you then."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and hugged the man. After a moment, she said softly, "Goodbye, Ah Chao."
But she never heard his response again.
This was a one-sided farewell.
Then she said to the customer service again: "Restart."
The customer service boy smiled slightly. She didn't know if it was Lu Ming's illusion, but she actually felt that he examined her and then said meaningfully, "As you wish."
In the blink of an eye, the whole world suddenly went dark, and a gentle female voice rang in Lu Ming's ears: "Data is being cleared... The story is being rebuilt..."
"Ready. Restart countdown begins, 10, 9, 8, 7..."
“3, 2, 1!”
“Restart!”
The moment she heard these two words, Lu Ming felt as if something hit her brain, causing her vision to go black and she completely lost consciousness.
The body fell down heavily.
The customer service boy glanced at the man on the ground, bowed, turned around and disappeared.
