Chapter 360 Back to Reality (11) - The Origin of the Game
China took emergency measures and adopted two plans.
The first plan involved a group of people boarding a spaceship, carrying the seeds of human civilization away from Earth, in an attempt to escape the pursuit and encirclement of aliens.
The second option is for some people to remain dormant in the deep sea, waiting for the opportunity to revive the planet.
At the time, the matter of governments fighting against aliens was strictly kept under wraps and did not spread widely, leaving many ordinary people in the dark.
In order to implement the second plan as soon as possible, China adopted a method.
It means recruiting outstanding talents, including outstanding soldiers in the military, outstanding scientists in the scientific community, and outstanding engineers in the engineering field.
Fearing the plan would be leaked, all those in charge of the second plan and those who knew about it perished in an "accidental" factory explosion after completing their mission.
In fact, the concerns of our predecessors were entirely justified.
Because after all of humanity knew that Earth had been invaded by aliens, almost everyone who survived underwent a memory scan.
Most of humanity was slaughtered by aliens called "Loy," and the survivors were sent in batches to undergo "baptism" arranged by the Loy aliens.
Those who refused to undergo "baptism" were all killed, without exception.
Those who survived in China were almost all clinging to the hope of "expelling foreign races and reviving the blue planet," barely managing to stay alive.
Our ancestors secretly investigated and discovered that the so-called "baptism" was actually genetic modification of humans by the Loy aliens.
Their aim is to enslave humans.
Their plan was very successful; humans were forced into slavery for a century.
Humans did nothing wrong; they were simply discovered by certain beings in the universe, and then they suffered the consequences.
China has never lacked heroes. Plans for the continuation of humanity were launched immediately, and countless people sacrificed themselves for the success of these plans.
Ning Shu admired such heroes: "What happened to those who were asleep in the end?"
Li Dong looked at her quietly: "Just like you."
Like her? What happened to her?
Suddenly, Ning Shu thought of the players in the game. Could it be...?
"Are all those players...?"
"That's right."
Ning Shu was shocked. How did they do that?
Wait a minute, he just said that those who were put into the game were all pre-selected.
But there were clearly many other people in the game who, like her, had not been selected, and had also entered the game.
What exactly happened?
Li Dong knew her question: "There are special reasons why players like you exist. Please listen patiently to my explanation."
I only learned about this two years ago. At that time, one of the undercover members received a mission assigned by his superiors.
During his mission, he discovered that there were sleeping humans in the deep sea, all living in a deep-sea trench.
He discovered that those people were sleeping in a very old-fashioned hibernation pod, which had Chinese characters on it.
The news was secretly relayed back immediately.
After receiving the information, we dispatched search personnel according to the location he provided.
They discovered that some of the hibernation pods were slightly different from the others, so they secretly brought them back.
After waking them up, they discovered that they were one of the organizers of the plan.
Unfortunately, they only had time to give us a rough outline of the plan before they died tragically.
Because of the long wait and the change in environment, their bodies were not adapted to the current environment of Earth after leaving the hibernation pods.
The hibernation pods were also running out of fuel and could no longer sustain their lives, causing them to die shortly after waking up.
As Li Dong spoke, it was as if the incident had happened just yesterday, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Even in this dim light, Ning Shu could still see it.
Ning Shu was unaware that she too had tears in her eyes at that moment.
"Having learned this lesson, we dare not rashly open the hibernation pod again, but we also know we can't wait any longer."
If no energy is replenished, the people in the hibernation pods will die sooner or later.
God bless China; they were not destined to die.
Our undercover agent sent back a message saying that the Roy aliens are preparing to develop a realistic holographic game.
The purpose was to curry favor with a powerful figure, but unfortunately the test results were never satisfactory, as the NPCs and plot in the game felt too formulaic.
The undercover agent suggested exposing the people in the hibernation pods to the Loy aliens.
He persuaded them to involve these people in the development and testing of the holographic game.
This solves both the problem of replenishing life energy for people in hibernation pods and the problem of testing holographic games.
This would also allow the undercover agent to gain greater influence among the Loy aliens.
So this is the origin of games, and the reason why players are drawn into them?
She didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse for the players.
Without this game, players might not even have a chance to survive, but entering the game isn't necessarily a good thing.
Stepping outside the player's perspective, one has to admit that the undercover agent's suggestion was indeed brilliant, but putting it into practice would certainly not be so simple.
"Didn't that alien suspect these people?" Ning Shu thought it was unlikely.
Li Dong knew Ning Shu would ask this question: "If we didn't do anything beforehand, of course they would."
Ning Shu listened attentively.
"Because we also discovered other unique hibernation pods, which also contained humans, but the style of the hibernation pods was different from those in China."
I consulted the materials left by my ancestors and found some remaining videos.
It mentions that when the small aircraft of the Roy aliens were shot down, some long, narrow hulls would fall out of them.
These hulls are very similar in style to the hulls we have discovered.
Based on the records left by their ancestors, they mentioned that when the Loy aliens first landed, they captured many humans in order to conduct experiments.
I would venture to guess that the humans inside these capsules were captured by them for their experiments.
But their transport aircraft were shot down by us, so the hull also fell into the deep sea.
Ning Shu thought Li Dong's guess was very likely.
Cheng Chuan and the others said that they were basically "kidnapped" before entering the game, but that wasn't the case for her; she had no memory of it.
She was inexplicably arrested, her memory was examined, and she was eventually stuffed into a capsule.
Looking back now, I suppose it was because when the aliens searched my memories, they inadvertently damaged a part of them.
Before losing consciousness, she felt the cabin vibrating and shaking, which she guessed was the sound of an alien spacecraft being shot down.
Ning Shu thought this hull was quite impressive. The aircraft had been shot down, but the hull was still intact? What kind of incredible quality was this?
But did all these hulls fall into the same sea?
Ning Shu thought this was outrageous; 70% of Earth is ocean.
It's understandable that our ancestors deliberately buried them in one place, but for those randomly shot down to be in the same place... is just illogical.
