NPC opens eyes to see the world No.1

When Yang Jia returned to Phoenix City again, several months had passed.

During this time, there are no other major events in the game world, and the existence of viruses is still the top priority of everyone's attention.

Research on the virus has been in full swing, and the second-generation virus vaccine has been successfully developed and put into use.But no one was happy, because then the third-generation virus began to break out.

In this case, the atmosphere in the entire game world is very depressing.Yang Jia has traveled too many places along the way, and his feelings about this can only be deepened.

Compared with the second-generation virus, the third-generation virus is more contagious and has a higher fatality rate. At the same time, there is the worst news-people who have used the first-generation vaccine can be immune to the second-generation virus, but It will also be infected with the third generation virus!

Originally, as the virus outbreak took longer and longer, the emotions of players and NPCs have gradually stabilized.Anyway, life goes on.Although viruses are troublesome, if they can manage to solve them with their own abilities, it is also a very fulfilling thing.

Especially with the successful development of the first-generation and second-generation vaccines, it has given everyone unlimited confidence, and I believe that the virus will be completely eliminated sooner or later.

So the original panic caused by the outbreak of the virus has dissipated a lot.But the news that people who had been vaccinated could become reinfected once again sparked panic.After all, this means that the virus thing will become endless, and there is no way to get rid of it.

"But this is not the most serious thing." Bai Ting stood opposite Yang Jia, and handed her the report in her hand with a serious face, "Look at this."

Yang Jia took it over and read it, but also fell silent.This is the population distribution of the eleven cities under the jurisdiction of the Nirvana Guild.Since the outbreak of the virus, tens of thousands of people have died one after another.Compared to the overall number of people, tens of thousands of people are not too many, but there is also a graph in the report. From the graph, it can be seen that the number of deaths has been increasing exponentially. When drawn as a curve, it is a line that is almost [-] degrees , shocking.

This is because the player does not really die, these are just NPCs.

If this trend continues, within a few months, only players will be left on this land.

For a short time, this may not seem to matter.But players don't know how to operate in the game world at all. Most of the basic and necessary jobs and industries are maintained by NPCs.Without NPCs, this world can no longer be called a world, and it will only be a matter of time before it collapses.

Although no data exchange has been done, the Nirvana Guild is like this, and other places are probably similar.At least the Starfire Guild, which currently belongs to the Nirvana Guild, is similar, and the situation is even worse.Because among the six cities controlled by the Spark Guild, the proportion of players is lower than other places.

It is necessary to find a way to curb this trend before then, but at present, no one can do anything about it.

Yang Jia bowed his head and thought for a moment, then decided to go and see the infected people first, before thinking about anything else.

After Li Bai left, Qin Yan was in charge of the affairs of the laboratory, but he himself did not have the talent in this area, so naturally he could only be an overall planner, responsible for mobilizing and distributing materials and so on. The specific research on virus vaccines was done by by researchers in biomedicine.

The man was chosen by Li Bai, named Du Qing.Yang Jia had seen him before, and he looked gentle, but after seeing him after a few months, Du Qing lost a lot of weight and looked in a bad state.Apparently, during this period of time, he barely rested and kept spinning.

Accompanied by him, Yang Jia walked around the living area of ​​the infected. After returning to the laboratory, Du Qing told her the real predicament at present.

The previous first-generation vaccines and second-generation vaccines were actually made on the basis of real research data, so it is not difficult.After all, there are already mature results over there, and they are just copied and adjusted according to the situation.

But the research data in the real world only go so far, and they are still working on the vaccine for the third-generation virus.In fact, this kind of research is already outdated, because the fourth-generation virus has already broken out on the planet Hope, which is something that everyone is helpless.

It is precisely because the research work has been lagging behind the speed of the virus outbreak, so since the establishment of the Moon Frozen Base, it is said that the researchers have fallen into a deep sleep, and they can wake up after the vaccine research is successful, but in fact, only the people who can really wake up. Two second-generation virus-infected people, and their physical condition was too bad. Although they were vaccinated after waking up, they still died of illness within a few years.

As for the others, they all died silently in a deep sleep and were sent to the automatic incineration system.

At present, only the third and fourth generations of virus-infected people are sleeping on the moon base.And there are only a few third-generation virus-infected people left.If no vaccine can be developed, then after this year, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to survive.

It is for this reason that the game "Reality" was launched.After all, it is faster to conduct simulation research in the game, and there is no need to set up a base on Hope Star to conduct research because of concerns about the spread of the virus to the earth.

However, there are only a small number of researchers on Hope Planet, and most of them can only look at the data, and cannot intervene in the research at all.

Moreover, there are too many subjects to be researched by the base on Hope Star. It is impossible to focus on the virus, and the progress is naturally delayed again and again.

For this reason, the governments of the three major regions have sent a group of young biological geniuses who have received the latest education to the game, hoping that they can walk on a new path as soon as possible on the track of their predecessors.

But even so, without the data support, the research progress in the game gradually slowed down, which is why Du Qing was so anxious.On the one hand, the number of deaths is gradually increasing, and on the other hand, the research is not progressing smoothly. The two phases are superimposed, and the situation is very serious.

But in fact, reporting to Yang Jia is just a routine, and I don't really expect her to come up with an effective solution.What really made Du Qing hesitate was another thing he wanted to say.

"You mean, there are players infected with the first-generation virus and the second-generation virus in the laboratory, but have not used the vaccine?" Yang Jia was a little puzzled after hearing his words, "What's going on?"

"It is used as a sample to observe the changes in the later stage of the virus." Du Qing said, "The development of the vaccine seems to be going well, but it is not because we have enough understanding of it. So after seeking the consent of these players, They were kept as samples."

Since he got the consent of the other party, it was hard for Yang Jia to say anything.

She has always suspected that there are people arranged by the government in the research team-this is almost certain.So she didn't think about doing research work, she just provided support for them.As for this matter, Yang Jia believes that they can target it.

But she still emphasized, "Forget it in the past, and I hope to see your reports on such things in the future."

Although this is just a game, since an organization has been established, it must operate according to the established rules, otherwise it will be chaotic.

Du Qing nodded, and Yang Jia asked again, "What accident are you talking about?"

"The bodies of the first-generation infected people experienced inexplicable exhaustion." Du Qing said, "I've heard of this kind of exhaustion before. In the real world, the two surviving second-generation infected patients, according to official sources, are Because of their poor health, they still died of illness one after another after using the vaccine, but in fact, this is not the case.”

Hearing that there are secrets in it, Yang Jia couldn't help being very surprised, "What is the truth?"

"Their bodies were originally normal. After using the vaccine, they recovered quickly and even joined the virus research work. But after a few years, their bodies began to show this kind of failure, and it was impossible to check what went wrong. , I only know that all the organs of the body are degenerating and failing, and he will die soon." Du Qing said.

This kind of thing is obviously a secret, Yang Jia didn't ask him how he knew, but just frowned and thought.

In other words, the so-called "vaccine" seems to have cured the virus, but in fact it has not, and there are hidden hidden dangers that cannot be detected, which will lead to physical failure.

This is really a wave of ups and downs.

"Understood, don't spread this news for the time being." Yang Jia stared at his fingers for a while, and said, "It's up to you to worry about the vaccine and try to control the situation. Don't worry about the rest, I will try my best To protect you."

"Yes." After Du Qing agreed, he left.

Yang Jia sat there thinking for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.In the end, I decided to complete the task given by the system.

She has obviously traveled to all the cities, but the illustration book has not been collected, and the task is naturally not completed.After careful study, Yang Jia discovered that a plant was missing.

The illustrated book does not show where it is located, so I have to find it.

The reason for this decision is that Yang Jia is not a medical student after all, not even a biology or chemistry student, and staying in the laboratory will not help.And this task appeared very strangely, and she always felt that it might have something to do with the current predicament.

After comprehensive consideration, Yang Jia felt that the missed plant had the greatest probability of appearing in Phoenix City.After all, the illustrated book here was collected when we explored the outside of the city at the beginning, but a lot of changes happened later, it might not be surprising that something was missed.

However, it is obviously not an easy task to search for a plant aimlessly outside the city.Yang Jia could only try slowly.

However, she never expected that at this juncture, she would encounter such a sudden change.

When Yang Jia got up this morning, he was a little groggy.When I touched my forehead, it was terribly hot.At first she only thought that she had caught a cold and had a fever last night, but she soon felt something was wrong. After comparing the characteristics of the third-generation virus infection that she had just learned not long ago, Yang Jia was stunned.

She has a virus.
