Chapter 97 Playback
A dark stage.
After a short silence.
The Linmu Studios logo appeared on the screen, followed by a spherical logo with Blue Star written below. This is the name of the game engine, but the audience does not know what it is yet.
The two logos flashed by quickly.
A gentle female voice, accompanied by soothing music, sounded.
"We are for humanity and the future, but we didn't expect it."
"It would turn out like this."
"No one... expected it."
The screen slowly lit up.
The camera slowly swept across the pure white tiles, the female voice disappeared, and noisy sounds slowly sounded around. It sounded that these people were panicked, but it was vague and it was impossible to hear what they were saying.
Suddenly.
Bright red bloodstains flowed down along the white tiles from a position that the camera could not see, dyeing the pure white tiles into a deep red.
Then there was a bang.
Suddenly, a body with a bloody face, as if it had been bitten by someone, fell heavily to the floor.
Then the camera turned.
At the same time, the soothing music suddenly changed, and the intense drum beats of the passionate music carried a sense of urgency, as if driving the hearts of the audience to beat together.
"Go, go, go! Get out quickly!"
Several people in security uniforms appeared next to the body, and they ran towards the exit in panic.
The camera also changed to the first-person perspective of a security guard.
Several security guards were fully armed and ran towards the exit with guns.
The heavy footsteps, the rustling of clothes, the clinking of guns and iron parts, and the sound of people falling to the ground, combined with the screams and roars from all directions in the background, made people hold their breath.
Suddenly.
The security guard walking in the front raised his hand and shouted:
"Stop! Free fire!"
The security guards behind him immediately raised their guns.
The poisonous fire gushed out with the shaking of the guns, and several vague figures in the distance fell to the ground in response, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief.
Bang—
a violent explosion sounded from the left of the group. The fire and smoke shook the entire screen. The glass shattered, and several security guards immediately covered their faces with their hands.
But the next second.
Before they could recover, several figures rushed over from the smoke with creepy screams.
Several security guards were caught off guard and fell to the ground.
These figures in white coats lay on the security guards, as if gnawing at something.
The security guards wailed heartbreakingly, making the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.
The leading security guard glanced at his colleagues on the ground and made a decision immediately.
"Don't worry about them, keep breaking through! Gogogo!"
The three security guards who were still standing immediately left their companions and rushed forward.
The music became louder and louder, and the drum beats became more and more frequent.
The two security guards and the security guard who acted as the camera in the first person finally rushed to the exit.
Behind the exit was a spacious corridor with rooms on both sides.
The pure white tiled walls showed that this should be a research institute.
But now, this place is completely a hell on earth.
The white tiles and walls are stained with blood, and there are corpses everywhere on the road. Some of the overhead light tubes have fallen to the ground. There are bursts of wailing and smoke from the rooms on both sides.
"Wait! Save me! Save me! I don't want to die!"
The three security guards quickly crossed the corridor.
Among the many corpses in the corridor, there was a person who was slumped against the wall and seemed to be alive. He raised his hand to the three people and begged them to save him.
The first-person security guard stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pull him.
But the security guard walking in front suddenly turned around and roared: "If you want to die, go save him! They have all been infected! Get out of here!"
Although it is 3D, the expression on the face of this security guard is lifelike, as if it were a real person.
But as soon as he finished speaking.
A gloomy and weird laugh suddenly rang out.
Then a vague figure suddenly appeared from the room on the right side of the corridor, flashed away, and the security guard in the front was hugged by something and fell into the room on the left opposite.
There was a sound of heavy objects falling in the room, followed by gunshots.
"Son of a bitch!"
The dense gunshots echoed in the room, and bullets shattered the glass and appeared in the corridor, turning into stray bullets flying everywhere.
Then the gunshots stopped, followed by screams.
The security guard who just wanted to save people covered his head and dodged the stray bullets.
"Go, go!"
The only remaining security guard didn't care about anything, roared, and ran to the end of the corridor.
The security guard who wanted to save people looked at the person next to him who was shouting for help, and ran without looking back.
The two walked through a chaotic corridor.
Various scenes switched quickly.
Chaos.
Screams
. Smoke. Gunshots
.
Various chaotic situations, accompanied by dense electronic sounds of drums, are like being on the battlefield.
But until then, the audience still didn't know what the security guards were facing.
Finally,
there was only one security guard left.
Another security guard was suddenly thrown down and howled.
The only remaining security guard was panting violently, and the violent breathing even overwhelmed the background music.
Finally,
he came to the end of the corridor.
He nervously lowered his head and fumbled in his pockets, found the access card, swiped the card with trembling hands, and then looked back frequently, as if he was afraid of something coming up.
Ding.
The access control took effect, and the puffing sound of the air valve was heard.
The door just opened a crack.
The security guard immediately put down his gun and stretched out his hand to speed up the door opening.
But the door just opened a crack enough for people to pass through...
There was a faint roar of a fighter plane whizzing past above his head.
The security guard looked up at the ceiling.
Then.
Ding-
a crisp sound of iron colliding.
Behind him, there was a violent explosion immediately, and the flames that shot up into the sky accompanied by the impact force directly threw the security guard forward.
Boom—
the security guard was thrown out. Outside the door was a huge square, with moths flying gently around the bright street lights. If you didn't look at the fire behind him, everything seemed so quiet and normal.
The music suddenly stopped with the sound of explosions, and a very harsh buzzing sound rang out instead.
The last security guard was lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
After a while.
He moved his fingers, indicating that he was still alive.
"Cough cough cough!"
He gasped violently for a few times, supported the ground with both hands, and struggled to turn over.
It was late at night.
There was a full moon above his head.
The stars were shining.
He took a while to slow down and wanted to get up.
But a figure suddenly appeared beside him, and then, the shining blade suddenly pierced into the concrete ground from his face.
The security guard panicked and wanted to raise the gun in his arms in an instant.
"Uh-huh!"
But the figure was one step faster than him, squatting down suddenly, pressing his gun with one hand and pressing his mouth with the other hand to prevent him from making a sound.
It was a woman.
A young woman with a graceful figure wearing an OL outfit.
She covered the security guard's mouth, and after making sure that the other party had no intention of raising the gun again, she slowly put away the hand holding the gun, placed her index finger in front of her red lips, and gently made a gesture of silence.
"Shh..."
The security guard nodded, and stopped breathing rapidly.
In an instant, everything was quiet.
Just as the security guard relaxed.
The audience in front of the screen also relaxed.
"Ah——"
A scream.
A person covered in blood, with a bloody face and a weird posture suddenly rushed over with a scream.
The audience and the security guard were shocked.
The woman immediately pulled out the knife that was inserted into the side of the security guard's face and swung it forward.
The person covered in blood and in a weird posture grabbed the knife that stabbed into his throat, ugh ugh a few times, and stopped moving.
"..."
The woman sighed
and stood up. The security guard sat up and gasped.
"We've been discovered, get ready to break out."
The woman pulled out the knife and looked into the distance.
The security guard gasped for air and looked past the female office lady in a high-heeled women's suit, looking into the distance, and then his breathing stagnated.
The camera left his perspective and slowly moved up.
Those people covered in blood, with bloody faces and strange postures, had surrounded them from all directions.
Leading them was a girl who looked pitiful.
She stood there motionless.
The camera slowly zoomed in.
She raised her head suddenly, revealing a hideous face and a row of sharp teeth flashing with cold light.
The music with dense drum beats sounded again.
The screen went black.
The title of "Breakout" appeared.
The video ended.
...
Stunned.
Tang Xuan was stunned.
He had just written the first sentence on his notebook, and then he saw the beginning of the promotional video. Next, let alone writing, he seemed to have forgotten to breathe.
And at the end, the pitiful girl suddenly looked up, accompanied by the sudden sound of the passionate background music, which made him feel as if his heart was being tightly grasped.
"Fuck..."
Tang Xuan stared at the last title "Breakout" with his eyes wide open. All the words in his mind turned into a "Fuck".
At the same time,
Mou Feng was also confused.
He wanted to continue to lose his temper, but he failed because he couldn't take his eyes off the screen.
He looked at the title on the screen for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Qi. He pointed at the screen with trembling fingers and asked in a distorted voice: "This was made by an online game company!?"
