Chapter 319: The End of the World and Survival
Apparently, the other survivors had noticed this.
For a moment, the news was like a boulder dropped into stagnant water, instantly sending a tidal wave through the world. The insider who controlled the inside information was actually dead?! Who was it?
At this moment, no one doubted the identity of "the gossipmonger" anymore, and no one thought that his previous arrogant declarations were just a bluff, because insiders had already come forward and pointed out his past evil deeds and leaks of inside information, which all matched what had happened in the past.
Countless eyes were quietly focused on Miaomiao. The boldest sent private messages seeking confirmation, while the majority remained silent, tacitly understanding.
"Unstoppable longing: Meow, are you okay? I see the auction is stuck, and no new card owners have appeared on the roulette wheel. It seems I can only wait for Dr. Ji."
Before leaving Liu Yuyan's secret passage, Yu Miaomiao caught a glimpse of the numeric keypad on the secret door, which clearly displayed her server coordinates.
She really wanted to take the portal with her, but with the system voice and the "staff" approaching, she didn't even have time to study it.
Back in the Ocean World, her coordinates were known to everyone. Liu Yuyan didn't take action. Besides the "maintenance mechanism", he was probably also afraid that the people around her or Xiaoguai would get in the way.
He'd made a precise move after the avalanche, clearly having done thorough research and was completely confident. Yet... she still managed to kill him.
The only person who could help him investigate was Dr. Ji, who also had access to the secret door and could spy on her!
Everyone's secret door scene is fixed after free choice, but Dr. Ji chose to "pay attention" to her at all times and leaked the information to Liu Yuyan.
All those nice words, like an invitation card will be sent out once the research is completed, are just a facade! How could a true scientific villain, operating under the guise of "research," possibly help her?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: He won't give it to you. Is the secret door that Wei gave you a door to anything?"
"Unstoppable longing: Meow meow, you just killed Liu Yuyan, and now you want to rush to Dr. Ji to grab the card?! You're so brave, but it's a pity that my secret door is not very good. I don't know what Liu Yuyan's secret door is like. My secret door only appears when I wear protective clothing, and the coordinates are locked at the entry point and cannot be changed."
Can you open the secret door by wearing protective clothing?
Yu Miaomiao's eyes narrowed, and she immediately took out the blood-stained and tattered protective suit from the primary storage box and put it on without hesitation.
There was no movement around. But the familiar system voice sounded in my head again:
"wipe--"
Before the second syllable fell, she had already taken off her clothes at lightning speed.
As expected! Liu Yuyan's belongings would all be marked by the system, and she didn't want to be wiped out instantly.
According to this logic, if the cross-server invitation card ends up in the hands of "Rumors", the item will also disappear.
Lying quietly in the storage box were two special cards she had received when she first arrived in the apocalypse. She contacted Tingting:
"Miaomiao is not short of water: Tingting, can you help me check how many people have duplicate cards?"
"Unstoppable longing: Copy Card? Do you still have this thing... Let me take a look, this roulette wheel is quite difficult to spin."
The extreme cold intensified and the temperature dropped sharply.
The cold air outside seeped in, and the fire in the stove consumed much more than expected. Fortunately, she came back early, otherwise the stove would have gone out long ago.
After adding some firewood, the temporary chat box was flooded with a large number of temporary private messages - all of which were asking to buy wood.
There were those who were morally blackmailed and begged desperately, and even their companions in the base were harassed, believing that they would become "rich" if they followed Meow God.
Without sunlight, solar energy equipment has been paralyzed and heating devices that rely on electricity have also stopped working.
With inherent ideas, everyone has stored mucus in their hands, but lacks wood and cannot maintain basic heating.
Plants stopped growing, the expedition area was inaccessible, the daily card draw supplies were gone, and the mall items were sold out one after another... The auction house was empty except for the unclaimed cross-server invitation card.
This doomsday system seemed to be using severe cold, hunger, and despair to completely exhaust everyone to death.
Pessimism spread and fermented on every server.
After struggling to survive for many days, with the dawn just around the corner, is death still inevitable?
Despair spread like a plague, and the forum was instantly flooded with various suicide notes.
Yu Miaomiao just took a glance and her heart felt heavy as lead. She hugged Xiaoguai tightly in her arms. Her supplies could last for a few days, but this little guy... couldn't wait any longer.
Didi
"Unstoppable Yearning: Primary Copy Card? You're the only one who has it. I've looked around and haven't seen any other similar cards."
Is it because she is the only one who has it, and is it because of her lucky trait?
The fire leaped and the flaming flames were like the claws of a devil, tearing at her nerves and eroding her bottom line bit by bit.
Yu Miaomiao clicked on the [One-Day Good Luck Card (Unique Binding)] in her backpack.
In an instant, countless sequins poured down like a waterfall, and the same scene as when Api disappeared reappeared before his eyes, and then disappeared into the darkness.
He took out the primary copy card from the locker and clicked to use it. A shadow of a mouse appeared in his field of vision, dragging a virtual and real file icon.
She accurately dragged the "Copy" icon onto the only item for auction in the auction house - the "Cross-Server Invitation Card", and a line of system prompts appeared in front of her.
[Whether to use the primary copy card to copy the cross-server invitation card]
【Confirm/Cancel】
Yu Miaomiao's heart was beating like a drum, and her fingertips hovered over the confirmation box.
The light from the screen illuminated her tense face. One of the primary copy cards disappeared, and another familiar cross-server invitation card suddenly appeared in the backpack compartment.
Done!!!
She made the right bet!
At this moment, the value of this card determined by the system is the 3 units of slime offered by Gossip.
Even because of his "death", the upper limit of value was locked at 3 pieces of slime. The success rate of the primary copy card in copying low-value items allowed her to finally get the special card she had been seeking for many days!
She hurriedly sent a new message to Nana. As long as Nana was ready, she would immediately invite her to her world and completely end this broken world!
Before Nana could reply, a disgusting message arrived.
"Pathfinder: Comrade, regardless of how you obtained this card, I'm sorry to inform you that I'll be keeping it for safekeeping. I'll return it once my research is complete. If you're willing to support my research and help me achieve success soon, that would be the best."
Yu Miaomiao: ...
She had never seen such a shameless person! How could he justify stealing so blatantly?
Her anger instantly burned through her rationality. Her hands, hanging in the air, trembled uncontrollably, her knuckles turned white from the force. She wished she could twist the head off the other side of the screen.
"Yiren Fanfantian: Now you can, come!"
Yu Miaomiao's eyes flashed as she replied to Dr. Ji's message. Without hesitation, she clicked "copy" again. The moment she got the second invitation card, she immediately sent an invitation to Nana.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Before you ask for help, shouldn't you first be honest about what you are doing?"
She stared at the screen intently until Nana's coordinates appeared, and it instantly switched to the "internal test server". Her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Pathfinder: I need to develop a true perpetual motion machine here. If possible, I would like you to cooperate with me and go to a new exploration destination now."
Go away...
Yu Miaomiao fiercely raised her middle finger toward the window. How could this be considered low EQ? This was clearly stupidity and arrogance to the extreme.
"Yiren Fanfantian: I've landed!!! Baby!"
Seeing this message, Yu Miaomiao's heart tightened. Only one step was left to end it all.
"Yiren Tiaanfantian: Oh no! The special card in my pocket is bound. The system will probably find out we're sneaking across the border. But it doesn't matter. I have a Brave World Card that will be usable in 10 hours. When I get to you, just give me the card."
Yu Miaomiao was not as relaxed as Nana. 10 hours was indeed short compared to her previous experiences. Victory seemed within reach, but until the last second, she always felt uneasy.
She quickly informed her companions of the situation and asked them to keep it secret for the time being.
"Iris: Meow! You did it! I knew I didn't trust the wrong person! Finally...finally, I've waited for this day!"
"Hou Hou Bu Shutshou: Holy crap, Meow God is awesome! I was so desperate when I couldn't bid in the auction just now. Seeing everyone else writing suicide notes, I wrote a few too, but it was Ao Yi who told me to trust Meow God that I stopped writing. I didn't expect to get this good news so soon. It's been freezing these past few days. I haven't even had a hot shower. My body is itching like crazy. The first thing I'll do when I get home is take a shower."
"Ao Yi: Meow God is great, Meow God is mighty, my heart is excited, my hands are shaking, it's time to go home, Oli!"
"Yingyingguai: Isn't your name Aoyi? Why are you saying Oli again? I knew this day would come. Follow the right people and do the right things. What's the first thing you do when you get back?"
The group chat instantly became lively, with everyone discussing everything from where to take a shower, to what delicious food to eat, and where to travel... They were discussing plans for after returning to reality, and even started organizing a group to take an expedition to a federally planned wild area that almost no one had visited.
Yu Miaomiao was not in such a good mood. She turned off the group chat, rubbed her hands together vigorously until they were warm, and gently placed them on Xiaoguai's cold belly.
Three hours later, Xiaoguai had shrunk to the size of a newborn kitten, his ears drooping, and his life force fading rapidly.
She sat by the fire, not caring about the despair that permeated the world. She just whispered to the little life in her arms.
No one in the entire beta test server has the Brave the World card. Even though Xiaoguai's breath is getting weaker and weaker, she can only wait for Nana to come.
Xiaoguai, can you please hold on a little longer?
"Hua Bie: I bought an egg incubator from an external server. It can be powered by batteries, and the temperature inside is not affected by the outside world. Do you want to give it to Xiaoguai?"
"Meow meow is not short of water: I want it!"
She had searched the forums and the world for several times, but couldn't find anything related to "heat" or "fire." Hua Bie's help was a real relief! The incubator wasn't large. She took out the egg rack, laid out a small blanket, and tested the temperature before carefully placing her baby inside.
At 9 a.m., the sky was still pitch black. Extreme cold accompanied the polar night. Yu Miaomiao counted the seconds, waiting for Nana.
Seeing that Yu Miaomiao did not reply, Dr. Ji soon learned from an informant that there was a new "Yi Ren Tia Fan Tian" on the internal test server list. He immediately realized that she had obtained a cross-server invitation card from somewhere. He bombarded Yu Miaomiao with intimidation and threats, but Yu Miaomiao ignored them all.
He was so angry that he offered a huge reward for the heads of "Miao Miao Bu Que Shui" and "Yi Ren Tiaofan Tian" on the world channel and declared that he was the real savior.
It's the same trick again. They really don't have any new ideas.
After his cross-server message and bounty post were sent out, many survivors understood what was going on. Without Miaomiao saying anything, everyone realized that Miaoshen, the savior, was really going to take them away from this apocalyptic hell.
The world of despair and wailing suddenly came alive.
The atmosphere reversed, with voices praising the Cat God rising one after another, and posts imagining life after his return flooding the screen.
Hopefully, this is what everyone should be like.
She also waited for that moment with hope - Xiaoguai could survive and Api could come back.
"Yiren Fanfantian: Here it comes!"
The message flashed by, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Yu Miaomiao.
In the light of the fire, the moment Yu Miaomiao saw Nana's face clearly, tears burst out instantly. She rushed to her best friend who she hadn't seen for a long time and buried her head in her arms without caring about anything else.
Nana patted Yu Miaomiao on the back and said, "Okay, baby, why are you still like a child? If you cry later, let's get out of this damn place first."
Yu Miaomiao nodded heavily, "Okay!"
After saying that, he handed all the cards in his backpack to the other person.
Yue Yina took it with trembling hands and opened the system backpack.
82 cards to restore world order!
There is one more picture than the total synthesis, which is the result of the hard work of so many people over so many days. It is also the hope of all mankind!
Yue Yina clicked to use it without hesitation.
【Confirmed synthesis and repair of world order card】
【Confirm/Cancel】
Yue Yina immediately placed her finger on the confirmation button.
In an instant, a huge system prompt appeared in front of survivors all over the world.
【Repairing the End of the World】
2%
5%
【...】
Yue Yina couldn't hold it in any longer and cried out, "Miaomiao! We did it!"
Yu Miaomiao hugged Nana tightly and immediately turned to look at Xiaoguai in the incubator.
The little thing in the box seemed to have stopped decaying and came back to life. Its sapphire eyes were covered with a film, its little claws were scratching around unconsciously, and its little head was trying to tilt up, as if looking for something.
Yu Miaomiao quickly touched the box cover: "Wait a little longer, little darling, just wait a little longer, it will be fine!"
Seeing this scene, Yue Yina choked up and said, "Miaomiao... I have never dared to tell you... I was afraid of affecting you... My parents... They also came to this broken world... I only contacted them a few days ago... Their world is still a desert, and they are extremely short of wood to upgrade their houses... I gave most of the wood to them... Fortunately, with the support of my companions in the base, I can survive until now..."
Yu Miaomiao was stunned and said: "Why didn't you tell me, I could give you some..."
Yue Yina wiped away her tears and looked at the progress, which had reached 52%. She shook her head and said, "You have to take care of Xiaoguai too... I don't want to trouble you unless it's absolutely necessary."
The two hugged each other, feeling unprecedented warmth in this cold apocalypse.
Just when the progress reached 83%, a familiar door frame appeared out of thin air in front of the two.
Yu Miaomiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and Dr. Ji came.
The makeshift house was very small. She quickly picked up her weapon and shield and stood in front of Nana, then saw several white lights flying towards her chest.
It was Bai Ren, and it turned out to be Liu Yuyan? The ghost lingered?
As soon as the thought came to her mind, the white blade penetrated the advanced shield and stabbed into her body.
The excruciating pain and the warm blood instantly overwhelmed his consciousness. Behind him was Nana's heartbreaking cry. The moment his consciousness blurred, a middle-aged man's sinister voice came from the secret door: "Dare to ruin my plan, you will die!"
Can’t go back?
No!
She couldn't die here! She wanted to witness the restoration of the world with her own eyes! She wanted to take Xiaoguai home!
[The Lucky trait is successfully triggered, and the passive card Life Card is activated.]
The severe pain in his chest dissipated instantly with the system prompt sound, and Yu Miaomiao subconsciously used his bare hands to catch the white blade card.
Before the next blade came, she grabbed it accurately, raised her shotgun, and frantically pulled the trigger at the hidden door.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
After the bullet was fired, there was no echo, as if it was swallowed by the void.
Yu Miaomiao did not hesitate, put on protective clothing, grabbed the door frame with one hand, and jumped in.
The familiar powerful suction force struck again! The system voice sounded coldly: "Erase - Kill - Open -"
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Before the word "Qi" fell, she desperately fired bullets at the retreating figure deep in the tunnel, and at the same time threw a dart modified from the metal of a foundation sample. Then she suddenly took off her protective suit, let go of her hands, and jumped backwards out the door.
"Bang!"
The set of movements was smooth and flowing, and then he fell heavily on a mat.
"Miaobao... have you gained weight since coming to the apocalypse?" Nana's grinning voice came from behind, helping Yu Miaomiao up.
[System Notice: Congratulations to player Yiren Tiaantian for completing the restoration of the apocalyptic game world.]
[The game is over. Congratulations to all players for obtaining the continuation of life.]
【Goodbye is not the end, but a new beginning. 】
The golden holographic subtitles were imprinted in everyone's eyes.
After the last punctuation mark disappeared, the entire apocalypse began to collapse and shatter, turning into mosaic fragments all over the sky.
Yu Miaomiao held Nana tightly with one hand and hugged Xiaoguai in the incubator tightly with the other hand.
The sky and the earth suddenly became bright, and all traces of the end of the world disappeared.
A strong feeling of dizziness came over Yu Miaomiao, and she felt her consciousness being quickly pulled away. Then, every inch of her skin felt a strange "beating" sensation, but she could not move.
Time seemed to freeze, and she felt like she was trapped in an infinitely small space, suffering unbearably.
Suddenly, a surge of energy returned, and consciousness gradually returned. After her vision focused, she saw the glass cover she had seen before right above her eyes. She tried to move her hands and feet - and she could move!
She's back! Back in her real body!
A familiar face came into view - it was Nana!
While Yu Miaomiao was struggling to pull off the wires entangled on her body, the hatch above her head had already been opened by Nana.
She was about to speak when Nana put her index finger to her lips and gestured to the side with her eyes.
Looking over there, they saw three staff members standing in front of a central console, staring at the screen with frowns on their faces, seemingly unaware that they had woken up.
After understanding Nana's lip movements of "save people", the two nodded in tacit understanding, and one on the left and one on the right quickly pressed the opening button next to the nearby hatch, and the hatches slid open silently one by one.
Perhaps it was the residual physical fitness from the apocalyptic experience, or the surge of adrenaline, but Yu Miaomiao felt the wind under her feet and her movements were as fast as lightning. Within ten minutes, she had opened thousands of hatches.
Is she still in the game? Tried calling the holographic system—no response, that's good.
After all the hatches of the room covering several hundred square meters were opened, Yu Miaomiao and Yue Yina met in front of a glass door.
Behind me was a noisy crowd of people, as those who had just woken up were supporting each other and talking to each other in surprise.
Yu Miaomiao asked in a low voice: "How long have you been awake?"
"Two minutes earlier than you, in the next room." Yue Yina shook a card on her chest. "It's hanging there since I woke up. It might be a clearance card. Luckily, when I was drawing cards to tear the tunnel yesterday, I saw the location of your hatch room and came straight here."
Thinking of her companions and Xiaoguai, Yu Miaomiao hurriedly asked, "Did you see the names of Huabie, Yingying, and Xiaoguai?"
Yue Yina shook her head: "No, my parents' haven't been found either. This place is very big, and there are many people in this room. They can go and rescue others. Let's go find them."
The glass door slowly opened, and the originally noisy crowd instantly became quiet, with all eyes focused on Miaomiao.
“Meow God!” “It’s Meow God!”
Her photo had already spread, and everyone recognized her instantly, and admiration and gratitude came like a tide.
Yu Miaomiao glanced at the staff member who was still operating the center console and made decisive arrangements: "I am Miaomiao, and I am not short of water. The situation is unclear now. In the first ten rows, rescue people on the left, find the exit on the right, and those in the back, contact the Federation."
"Good!" "Great! We're finally back!" The crowd cheered and moved quickly.
Yu Miaomiao had no time to pay attention to what happened next, so she rushed out the door with Nana.
Outside the door was a double-layered passage. Walking barefoot on the smooth, cold floor felt a little unreal. The walls and the ground were painted with familiar vine patterns.
"You search the back, and I'll look forward! There's a storage room at the back. You can go there and see if there's anything important when you pass by!" After Yue Yina said that, she ran forward anxiously.
Yu Miaomiao asked: "Is the pass card an access card?" Before she finished speaking, a familiar system voice sounded above her head.
[Everyone, please be patient. Tengman Company has arranged rest, recovery, and reception areas. Please proceed to the designated areas according to the instructions on your wristband.]
laugh--"
The glass doors slid open automatically one by one! The hatches of all the sleeping survivors opened at the same time.
Yue Yina glanced at her bracelet: "Guest Area 1."
Yu Miaomiao’s bracelet shows: “Reception area 2” with a directional arrow.
The people behind them who were awakened by them also received the prompt and began to follow the movement of the bracelets.
Yu Miaomiao frowned: "We can't just listen to this company. Let's continue looking for people. Now that we have more people, it's better to act together."
Yue Yina nodded and pulled her to go back.
However, the stream of people pouring out of the various hatches was like a tide, pushing them forward. The narrow passageway made turning back impossible.
Even though someone recognized Yu Miaomiao on the road, they still excitedly followed the instructions on the bracelet and no one gave way to her.
The first area is the recovery area (I).
The pale red space was lined with rows of standing hatches, and some people had woken up and walked out.
Yu Miaomiao pulled Nana in and ran into Nana's mother head-on.
"Mom!!!" Yue Yina ran over and the two hugged each other and cried with joy.
Since the injured will be in this recovery area, then...
Yu Miaomiao quickly shuttled through several recovery areas, passing by the recovered crowds, and immediately found the person who had disappeared for dozens of days, "Api!"
"Meow, you did it!" Api had just walked out of the cabin. Due to the long-term hibernation, her body was not coordinated and she stumbled and fell over. Yu Miaomiao quickly reached out to hold her shoulders.
Yu Miaomiao rubbed her sore eyes and sighed, "I'm glad you're okay. I was really scared of you..."
Api blinked and said, "With you here, how could anything happen to me? I'm watching you every day."
After a brief greeting, they met up with Nana's family and walked to the next rest area. The spacious area was still lit with green light and filled with sofas of various shapes. Some people had already sat down to rest as instructed.
There is a circular machine above the sofa, and robots shuttle between them to provide refreshments.
A man standing at the entrance to the rest area said to another man who was about to walk forward, "Old Ding, I have a headache since I woke up. The company probably wants me to rest up before leaving. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for me in the reception area. I just got out of that damn place, and I'm still a little nervous."
Yu Miaomiao searched the crowd and recognized Aoyi and others one by one, but she didn't see Iris and Huabie.
After thinking about it, since even Api has returned to his own body, they should be fine too.
But what about Xiaoguai...
We didn't see any animal signs along the way.
Until the crowd gradually thinned out and people dispersed into various areas, a few people arrived at the reception area.
There was a whole row of robots standing at the entrance of the reception area. Each robot had a list of names on it, and the words on the bracelet also became the code above the robot's head.
Yu Miaomiao walked over to the robot coded "S" and heard the robot's emotionless voice, "Yu Miaomiao, please follow me."
Yu Miaomiao stood still and asked, "I need to go find my friend first."
The robot was a standard silver-white, 1.75-meter-tall service machine. It turned its back to Yu Miaomiao and repeated, "Yu Miaomiao, please follow me."
The people around her followed the robot into the large blue space. There were many blue glass doors in the space. She didn't know what was inside the doors. She couldn't leave until she got the news that her other companions and Xiaoguai were safe.
The robot repeated this more than ten times, then turned around and pointed the screen on its robotic arm towards Yu Miaomiao. Four images flashed on the screen in sequence.
The first one shows Iris pushing a man in a wheelchair into the recovery room.
The second picture shows Hanabie looking around nervously and walking into a blue door.
The third picture shows Yingying sitting on the sofa in the rest area with the circular machine on her head.
The fourth one was blank. There was nothing on the white screen.
The previous three pictures are the people she asked. Does the fourth picture represent Xiaoguai?
Yu Miaomiao quickly asked, "Where's Xiaoguai? Where's my battle pet? Where is it?"
As she was struggling with the robot, a masked staff member walked out of the blue door in front of her. "Hello, Ms. Yu, please don't block the passage for other guests."
Yu Miaomiao turned around and saw that the lines in front of the blue gates on both sides were well-organized, and behind her, a long line had formed, with anxious eyes focused on her. They all knew who she was and wanted to urge her on, but they didn't dare.
Yu Miaomiao turned sideways and said, "Let them go first. I'll leave after I find what I'm looking for."
The staff member said calmly, "Sorry, please pass through the reception area in an orderly manner."
The implication is that if she doesn't leave, no one behind her can leave.
A young man at the back of the team couldn't help but yelled, "Meow God, it has come to this, please let us go home quickly, my wife and children are waiting for me."
"Yes, yes. You need to find your battle pet. It may not have come back at all. You are wasting time here."
"Yes, you can find something, but please don't hinder us from going home."
"It's just a system program monster. How could it come back like us humans? Have you become stupid after staying in the apocalypse?"
The harsh words entered Yu Miaomiao's ears, and she was in a daze for a moment: Is this really reality?
Someone actually dared to slander her battle pet like this, she...
She was about to respond when the people in the dozen or so rows around her stopped.
"Meow God brought you back, and you treat her like this?!"
"I won't leave until Meow God leaves! Everyone, stay put!"
"Return Meow God's battle pet!"
"Return Meow God's battle pet!"
Shouts, one louder than the other, instantly overwhelmed the doubts. Yu Miaomiao stared at the staff with burning eyes: "So, where is my battle pet?"
The visitor's eyes grew cold, and he reluctantly pulled out a small tablet. A blurry, dark surveillance video played on it. In the lower right corner of the screen, a tail lashed out briefly before disappearing. The video then cut to two close-ups of damaged wiring, revealing bite marks.
The man repeated, "This area is a testing zone, with only one surveillance camera. This is the full footage. These traces were left by stray animals. The AI analysis team has preliminarily determined they were created by a creature that transformed into your pet, 'Zebra Cat.' The peripheral surveillance is still being retrieved and analyzed. If any new leads are found, we will contact you immediately. Any other questions?"
"Yes." Yu Miaomiao spoke slowly, "How long will it take for the results to come out? Who should I hold responsible if there are no results within the deadline?"
The man said impatiently, "One week. The person in charge is behind the blue door. He will return your belongings and provide contact information. Any questions?"
Looking around, most eyes are still full of hope.
Yu Miaomiao felt an inexplicable tug at her nerves. She subconsciously looked down at her arm. There were a dozen small pinholes and markings on it, which should be connected to the previous hatch line. However, there was no pinhole mark on a marking point near the palm of her hand. The picture that the man had just played was clearly made up of two videos spliced together. One of the spliced together videos looked very much like the inside of her arm, but the picture flashed too fast and she couldn't see clearly. She thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and pushed open the blue door in front of her.
Inside the room was a table and a sofa, as well as a new robot.
She was about to ask where the "contact person" was when the robot spoke, "Hello, Ms. Yu. I am a representative appointed by the Federation. I am responsible for confirming your participation in this event."
The desktop screen lit up, and a staff member in a federal uniform appeared with a sincere expression.
The robot took out a familiar backpack from the small box behind it and placed it on the table.
Yu Miaomiao took inventory—it was exactly the items she had taken with her before she disappeared! Even the small metal pieces she had smelted and transformed were still there.
The experience of the end of the world flooded into my mind like a tide. Are those days of hard struggle really over?
"Ms. Yu?" The woman on the screen showed a concerned expression.
Yu Miaomiao agreed, "Oh, yes, I didn't sign up. I was forced into the system without any prior knowledge."
The federal representative frowned. "I deeply apologize for this. This was an oversight by the federal government. We've explained the company's situation to you. The federal government will work with Tengman Company to determine compensation standards based on your personal experience and mental damage. The results will be sent to your email within 30 business days. Once confirmed, the compensation will be transferred to your federal personal account. You may raise any questions within 180 business days."
"Okay." Unexpectedly, the Federation, which had been slow to rescue them, received the news and took over the matter so quickly after Yiren cleared the level. Their efficiency was unusually high. Yu Miaomiao asked, "Then what about the battle pet I asked about earlier, Xiaoguai, the zebra cat who accompanied me in the apocalypse? When will there be an answer?"
The federal representative tapped the electronic screen: "Your questions have been recorded and submitted to the post-incident supervision team's work order. The initial investigation results will be sent to your email within 7 working days, and you can request a review from me within 30 working days. The email has been sent, please check it."
Ding—" The long-lost email notification sound rang out. An official federal email appeared on her newly retrieved phone.
They say the federal system is inefficient, but work orders are reported immediately. They say it is efficient, but all problems rely on cold emails.
But fortunately, everything has a time limit. Whether it is the recipient or the questioner, there are worldly limitations in how to deal with things, which avoids the situation where there is something but no response. As for whether the response is satisfactory or not, it depends on the individual's perseverance.
Yu Miaomiao knew that since the Federation had taken over, there was no point in saying more. Once the Federation judged that she was obstructing public service, she would be arrested directly. She had no choice but to pick up her bag in disappointment and push open the other door of the room.
The long-lost sunlight shines on my face. Is this the light and air of freedom?
Tengman Company is located on the outskirts of City B. City B was once an industrial center, but it gradually declined with the industrial upgrading of Blue Star. However, under the federal plan, wherever there are buildings and people, there will be developed public transportation.
She walked to the station and looked at the familiar sign that displayed the schedules for the flying and land trains.
I just contacted Nana on the phone and learned that she needs to borrow "compensation" from Tengman Company to cure Nana's mother's leg disease, and she will have to stay here for a while.
There were not many unread messages on her phone. To the outside world, she had only "disappeared" for a few hours.
Among the limited information, the news about the cat cafe owner stands out.
Just as I was about to click to check, a familiar cat meow came from behind me.
“Meow—”
Her cell phone vibrated, and on it appeared a string of numbers that she had just memorized. The caller was Hua Bie.
