Nian Jingliu glanced at Nian Tujin, who remained expressionless beside him, and leaned closer:
"Hey sis, aren't you my little sister? Can you give me a tiny hint?"
Nian Tujin glanced at him and said, "Let's cut ties for one day."
Nian Jingliu clutched his heart and wept bitterly.
Hua Changle blinked and asked Hua Xiange, "Brother, do you want to know my identity?"
Hua Xiange crossed his arms aloofly: "What? Are you trying to get me in through the back door?"
Hua Changle shook his head: "I'm afraid you'll regret not agreeing now in the game."
Hua Xiange narrowed her eyes: "You know who I am?"
"I don't know!"
"Then how do you know I'll regret it?"
"Because I'm smart."
Hua Xiange was speechless and choked with emotion: "...You weren't like this before, Hua Changle..."
Hua Changle looked completely innocent: "Brother taught me well."
[Hahaha, I might be a fake fan. I actually enjoy watching beautiful girls get their comeuppance.]
I love watching them bicker.
These two pairs of siblings have completely different relationships, but I like them both!
Are you all blind? My brother clearly hates her and ignores her completely, okay?
[Flowers bloom even when they die! My brother is the only one who's beautiful!]
Afterwards, everyone entered their individual virtual pods in turn, generated character data, and entered it into the virtual terminal.
A few minutes later, the live stream transitioned to an AI-generated virtual environment, revealing a desolate and oppressive gray ruin.
—The game begins!
The scene is desolate, a stark contrast to the bustling city of Hua'an.
The gray sky was about to collapse, and the scorched earth was riddled with holes.
The dilapidated building swayed precariously in the cold wind, like a gaunt person drifting between heaven and earth.
The sky and earth were a uniform gray, contrasting with the realistic devastation covering the ground, making it hard to breathe.
For a moment just now, I felt like I wasn't in bed, but on a battlefield...
[The immersion is too strong...]
This is a natural disaster simulation scenario in the third training hall – "Above the Ruins".
This simulates the environment of the Old Ruins and the boundary line of the region during a natural disaster war.
[Suddenly I realized what Director Fang meant by "adventure" during the variety show promotion.]
Are they really going to fight an alien species? Is Director Fang serious?
[It's just a virtual game, is that really considered a battlefield?]
[The game definitely won't have 100% perception simulation anymore, it's not fun.]
[If you're not having fun, why are you barking like a dog? Why don't you get lost?]
The camera pans across the starting map of the game, and then the AI's deep, magnetic voice appears on the screen along with rows of subtitles.
"background:
In the year 180 of the Cataclysmic Era, within three months, more than fifty similar murders occurred in three border towns in succession.
The Alien Surveillance Bureau intervened and confirmed it as an alien attack, subsequently classifying it as a "Level 3 Alien Swarm."
Some viewers in the live chat were explaining the facts:
The alien frenzy is divided into five levels, from lowest to highest danger:
Level 3, Level 2, Level 1, Catastrophic, Devastating.
There has never been a catastrophic event in human history.
Game introduction continues:
"After more than ten days of investigation, it was confirmed that this frenzy was commanded by the intelligent alien species 'Human-faced Ox' and led by the disaster-level alien species 'Purple Maiden,' with more than ten alien species under her command committing crimes together."
What's even more terrifying is that these alien species mostly hide among the population.
A silent, infiltrating war has begun.
The camera pans, and figures begin to enter the frame. Just as everyone is eagerly anticipating what will happen, a text box obscures their heads again.
Previous context:
After the outbreak of the madness was confirmed, the armed forces in Yancheng were divided into the Cheng faction and the Qiao faction.
The Cheng school advocated finding one species and negotiating with it; the Qiao school advocated eliminating these foreign species.
The two sides fought fiercely, and the atmosphere was tense.
Just then, a list was leaked within the region, and it was said that this list could determine the outcome of the alien frenzy.
There are even rumors that the list contains evidence of Cheng Pai colluding with other races and harming fellow human beings.
Once the rumor was out, it spread like wildfire.
The list eventually ended up in the wasteland area on the border of Yancheng and Jiuxu, and the Cheng and Qiao factions each sent out their elites to search for it.
But who is black? Who is white?
What will be the outcome?
The text box fades out, and the camera zooms in.
A boy dressed in black with black soft armor covering his arms occupied the screen.
Against the backdrop of the black collar and soft armor, the boy's already arrogant features appeared even sharper.
[It must be said, Young Master Shen's looks are definitely on point!]
This young man was none other than Shen Xiao.
Shen Xiao lightly tapped the black object hanging on his ear. A transparent screen, like a pair of glasses, covered his right eye, with tiny numbers and codes flashing like light on the lens.
People also noticed that Shen Xiao's eyes had turned into different colors, blue and yellow.
Wow, that gear looks so cool! Is this everyone's combat gear?
[Does a real-life character need to have their eye color generated? It looks so good, like a Persian cat!]
Am I the only one curious about his background? Is he a member of the Qiao faction or the Cheng faction? There's not a single hint!
I was so anxious I was scratching my head and jumping up and down!
Does the person upstairs keep monkeys as pets?
Large-scale atavism in humans
Shen Xiao looked around, connected his headset, and said:
"Boss, Lingxiao reports: no trace of live poultry found, we can proceed! Repeat, we can proceed!"
On the other end of the headset, the girl's voice reached the audience's ears—
"Roger! Remain on standby and stay alert!"
【？？？！！！】
[Did I hear that right? Who is that voice?]
[Hua Changle?!! Hua Changle is Shen Xiao's boss?]
