Chapter 1
May 18, 3035, 3:00 p.m.
Blue Star.
At the E District police station in the capital, the officers were looking at the little kid in front of them with a headache. One of them, a 1.8-meter-tall, burly officer, spoke in an unskilled voice: "Little kid, what's your name? What are your parents' names?"
The policeman next to him couldn't help but rub the goose bumps on his arms, but looking at the little kid in front of him with puffed cheeks and a lollipop in his mouth, he couldn't help but soften his voice: "Where is your home?"
Long Yuanyuan held a lollipop in one hand and a biscuit in the other, tilted her head, and said softly: "My name is Long Yuanyuan, my parents..."
She couldn't help but frown, searching her little head, and finally found that she only remembered her own name in her mind and nothing else.
She pouted: "I don't know..."
When the others saw this, they were afraid that the little kid would cry, so they quickly coaxed him, "Be good, be good, Yuanyuan, let's... let's eat candy and play games!"
After saying that, he quickly opened the video software on his mobile phone and played a children's cartoon for Long Yuanyuan to watch.
Long Yuanyuan smiled instantly and ate happily while watching the video.
The policemen looked at each other, left a female police officer with a gentle voice to take care of Long Yuanyuan, and the other policemen went out to discuss countermeasures.
Long Yuanyuan had been in the police station for the entire morning. Every time she was asked a question, she said she didn't know or remember anything. The only thing she remembered was her own name.
When I went to check the place where Long Yuanyuan appeared, I couldn't find any information, as if Long Yuanyuan appeared out of thin air.
The burly policeman, named Zhao Zhuo, frowned and said with a worried look on his face, "If...if we can't find Yuanyuan's family, we'll have to send her to an orphanage. Brother Li, is there really no news?"
Li Jianjun said with similar worry, "Even in the gene bank, there's no information on Long Yuanyuan's relatives."
Everyone sighed in unison.
"But the orphanage..." Zhao Zhuo hesitated, as if he was about to say something. He had also been to an orphanage. The children in the orphanage were all skinny and small, looking completely malnourished. He couldn't imagine what the plump and fair Long Yuanyuan would become like after going to the orphanage.
Zhao Zhuo's eyes lit up. "Could it be one of those state secret personnel? That's why we can't find any information about them. Otherwise, Yuanyuan's plump and white appearance doesn't seem like something that an ordinary person can raise."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
Li Jianjun: "I'll contact the director and see if we can come up with another solution. As for Yuanyuan's rations, I'll also apply to the higher-ups."
Although they all had salaries, in this era of resource depletion and the struggle to survive, the lollipops and cookies they had eaten in the morning had already cost a fortune. If they were to spend their salaries on Long Yuanyuan's food, that would be unacceptable.
The year 3035 is not the high-tech era imagined by people a thousand years ago. Instead, due to resource depletion, the survival of ordinary people has become a problem. In fact, the competition for resources has led to wars and even national destruction in many countries.
In Longguo, due to the decisions of the leadership and the centralized management of various resources, although ordinary people do not live a rich life, they can barely survive if they work hard.
So, when the fair and tender Long Yuanyuan appeared on the street, she instantly caused a small sensation, and everyone couldn't help but want to pinch her little round face.
In the end, it was a caring citizen who called the police and sent Long Yuanyuan to the police station.
At this moment, Long Yuanyuan looked at the anime on the phone screen and couldn't help but yawn: "Sister, I don't want to watch it anymore..."
Policewoman Gu Tiantian couldn't help but reach out and rub Long Yuanyuan's head. She took the phone, flipped through the screen and said, "But there's nothing else fun to do, and the games on the phone aren't suitable for you."
There were no children's toys in the police station, so I could only use my cell phone to coax Yuanyuan.
Gu Tiantian: "Yuanyuan, how about we go to bed? Are you sleepy?"
Long Yuanyuan shook her head, looked up and said expectantly: "Sister, let's play games!"
She had seen an older brother playing games before, and she inexplicably felt that she would also play games, which made her very interested in games.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tiantian glanced at the shooting games or doomsday games on her phone, then looked at Long Yuanyuan, who was about a year and a half old, and was silent for a moment. Finally, she found an antique game in the corner of her phone screen called Plants vs. Zombies, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
You can't let a little kid play a bloody doomsday game.
Long Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Gu Tiantian expectantly.
Gu Tiantian held the phone screen a little further away and started operating it.
The sun was setting slowly on the phone screen. Gu Tiantian quickly clicked it and started buying sunflowers and other plants.
Long Yuanyuan's eyes were shining throughout the whole process, as if the door to a new world had been opened. She looked at the plants in front of her that were shaking and attacking the zombies with surprise.
It turns out that plants can transform!
While playing the game, Gu Tiantian introduced the plants in her hand, trying to make Yuanyuan feel involved and stop her from crying.
——
Five o'clock in the afternoon.
Long Yuanyuan was pestering her sweet sister to play the Plants Wars game. As for Zhao Zhuo and the others, they were discussing how to find Long Yuanyuan's family and where she would spend the night.
On the street, pale and thin people are walking hurriedly, and nothing seems to have changed.
Suddenly, a strange voice was heard.
[Ding! The survival game is officially online!]
Everyone stopped involuntarily.
They looked at each other in surprise. After a while, one of them stammered, his eyes filled with anticipation, "Did you hear any sound?"
This sentence broke the silence, and everyone couldn't help but discuss the survival game mentioned in the strange mechanical sound.
"Survival game? Isn't this the end of the world?"
"It's almost impossible to survive in this era, and now the world is going to end. Is there any way for people to survive?" A voice with a faint cry sounded.
Only then did the others realize what the survival game meant, and their faces became solemn and worried.
The mechanical sound rang out again.
[Now scanning the game venue, Blue Planet. Blue Planet has 146 countries. Each country will select ten contestants, for a total of 1,460 participants. The survival game will officially begin in two hours. All interpretations belong to the game.]
[Please note that if a contestant dies, a penalty will be randomly drawn. Death is considered complete, and penalties will befall the contestant's country. Penalties include, but are not limited to, halving their land area, reducing water resources, and shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, the contestants will be replaced on a monthly basis. All countries must have ten contestants, until their country is destroyed.]
[Please note that the entire game is live-streamed, and all rights of interpretation belong to the game.]
After this sentence was finished, everyone's mobile phone screens turned into countdowns. Even a large screen appeared in the sky of every city, with a black countdown displayed on the blood-red screen.
