"Wait f***! I can't beat them, I can't beat them..."
Yu Zhen smashed a head with a punch and severed an arm with a slash, struggling to cope while checking the progress of the password decryption.
The shattered heads came back in fragments, and the severed arms joined the army of bones in the same way.
Every shattered head, every severed limb, comes back in its broken form, like a relentless grim reaper, never giving up.
"Seriously? Playing with a heart-pounding 1% progress bar at a time like this?"
Yu Zhen was about to vomit blood. He was now absolutely certain that he was in an illusion, and absolutely certain that everything in front of him was fake.
Tragically, he could not escape the pursuit of these bizarre corpses, nor could he crack the code, nor could he leave the illusion and return to reality.
He was trapped here, isolated and helpless, with no one to help him.
These things are clearly inanimate objects, but like cockroaches, they are impossible to kill. They do not die, possessing an eternal lifespan and countless opportunities to rise again, while he is just one person.
There was only one person, an ordinary person.
The shattered head before me seemed to be opening its mouth, as if it were saying something.
"Give up, give up, you can't get out of here..."
"You can't get out..."
"No one will come to save you..."
"No one can help you..."
"Give up. They've all given up on you. Why are you still persisting?"
"Your persistence is meaningless, utterly meaningless!"
Countless mouths opened and closed incessantly before my eyes, my mind went blank, and the attacking fragments stopped, slowly assembling into a huge corpse covered in pus and blood.
Its tall figure cast a shadow, shrouding Yu Zhen in darkness.
"It's meaningless...it's meaningless...it's meaningless..."
"Clang!"
The long sword fell to the ground, and Yu Zhen's knees gave way, causing him to kneel on the ground.
"Yeah, what's the point?"
To avoid being sold, he tried to please his gambling-addicted father and alcoholic father, doing the heaviest housework and taking care of his younger siblings, but it was all in vain.
They abandoned him, leaving him to a group of strangers and letting him be taken to an unknown place.
To win the prize money, he trained hard. What his fellow Alphas could do effortlessly, he would spend much more time and effort to get on the same starting line as them. His training load was no lighter than theirs, and his academic performance was far ahead.
But he still failed. He lost the game, lost the chance to prove himself, and brought shame to the Yu family.
What's the point? he wondered.
It's meaningless. His efforts are a joke in the eyes of others. Everything he did was never meaningful.
Even if he joined the advance team, even if he became the deputy captain, he would eventually have to lay down his weapons and accept the marriage, go to Lin Gu's side, wash his hands and cook, be a well-mannered and knowledgeable Mrs. Lin who is both elegant and domestic, be an obedient and filial son, be a father who is good at raising children, and be a meaningless decoration.
But what's the point of all this? Lin Nianyu hated him because of his strict discipline, Lin Gu betrayed him, the Yu family abandoned him, and even his only good brother left him.
His efforts and his persistence were meaningless.
Just like now, even if he were to shred the corpses, it would be meaningless; they wouldn't die.
They will continue to live in fragments, transforming into a gigantic monster that will continue to attack him until he dies from exhaustion, at which point he will be devoured by these filthy things and become one of them.
Everything he did was meaningless.
His existence is meaningless!
