doomsday beta

On the night of February 2th, the beeping of the mechanical watch was clearly audible in the silence.

At a loss, Guo Jia flipped through the information obtained from major airlines.

From Tokyo time to the 12th, all the government and civilians in Japan have lost contact.

At midnight that day, multiple airport police stations received a report that a flight that had just arrived from Japan was stopped and found that some passengers had disappeared during transit.According to the investigation, these passengers did board the plane in Japan. When flying out of the Japanese continental shelf, several planes encountered a strong air current, which destroyed the monitoring equipment in the cabin. The captain failed to notice the abnormality in the cabin.Therefore, the airline believes that several passengers were accidentally lost during the hasty and short flight change because the plane was delayed.

Coincidentally, other overseas countries also encountered the same bizarre things.

Across the node at zero o'clock in Tokyo time, all flights from various countries encountered air currents at the same time when they flew over Japan's continental shelf that night, and there were different numbers of missing passengers after that.These passengers may be Japanese citizens, students from other countries, visiting scholars, or company employees going to Japan.Regardless of status, they all have one thing in common:

Registered players who log in to Noah's Ark on the Japanese server.

From this and then related to the launch time of the Japanese expansion pack, it is hard not to guess whether there is some relationship with the loss of contact in Japan?

After this node, all the flights that should have departed from Japan disappeared and were in a state of losing contact.The flights to Japan lost one after another after entering Japanese airspace. Therefore, major airlines temporarily canceled their routes to Japan due to the weather.In China, it is the Spring Festival, and all the citizens return to their hometowns for the festival, and very few people travel abroad, which has not attracted much attention.

So, what's the secret behind this game?

The Valentine's Day "spiritual" events surrounding this are related to Japan's anomalies. Is there any evidence for this?

Guo Jia clicked on the video in front of him.

It was accidentally recorded by a neighbor of a missing passenger.

The first picture is the silent and blurred sea outside the porthole.

Without warning, a strong airflow suddenly hit, and the plane suddenly lost control and crashed into a thick cloud in the distance—the huge black and gray mass at the bottom was like a mushroom cloud that rose up when a nuclear bomb exploded, and it was clearly a plane killer. Cumulonimbus.

In the turbulent scene filled with passengers screaming, the angle of view tilts sharply and turns back to the cabin.

Passengers who are staggering in the strong sense of weightlessness can be seen: those who are eating are choking and coughing again and again; the documents they are working on fall all over the floor; those who are getting up to go to the bathroom or fall to the ground, or collide with others, and others Being sprayed and sprinkled with chewing objects all over the pants caused various disputes among the passengers.

Amidst the noise, a female voice on the radio reminded passengers not to leave their seats and to check whether their seat belts were fastened.

As soon as the passengers took a breath, the plane jumped up suddenly, avoiding the impact of the airflow. In the process of passing through the thick clouds, the dense electric charges in the cumulonimbus clouds came, coating one side of the wing with a palpitating golden light. The shaky picture became mottled, and the photography function was immediately paralyzed when encountering strong magnetic field interference.

But the human voices hidden under the sizzle-la-la noise were included one after another.

"What are you doing? Let go!" According to the recollection, the Chinese female passenger was suddenly grabbed by the stranger's neighbor.The Japanese middle-aged man stared wide-eyed, and spit out a string of Japanese.

Guo Jia opened the translation file in which the content of the transcript was compared with Japanese.

"Did you hear that?!" the Japanese man who suddenly grabbed the female passenger asked.

"What did you hear? Damn it!" The female passenger suddenly pushed away the Japanese man who was restraining her.

The Japanese man who was about to fall grabbed her again and hurriedly explained: "There is a voice, listen! It says that the expansion pack is opening, please log in as soon as possible..."

"What information and no information! Let go!" The female passenger slammed her wrist and yelled loudly: "Don't pretend to be crazy! Let go of my mother!"

"Listen! Ding Dong!"

The Japanese man waved his other hand in an attempt to convince the female passenger.But even after recalling it later, the female passenger can still clearly recall the madness at that time.She said: "I warn you, let me go quickly! Don't talk about these things!"

The Japanese man stared at the woman sitting next to him, chattering non-stop—in the memory of the female passenger, it was a mouth full of blood, and against the eyes painted scarlet by the memory, it was so terrifying that it could eat people.

The Japanese man said:

"There's a real voice! It's saying: The special expansion pack "The Sinking of Japan" has started to be launched...the dungeon framework is being constructed...the map is being drawn..."

"There's no sound! There's no sound at all!" No matter what the female passenger said, the Japanese man seemed to have lost his mind, immersed in his own auditory hallucinations, muttering about what was built and planned.

"Fuck! Don't be a lunatic!" The female passenger began to call the flight attendant, saying that she had been harassed by a suspected mentally ill person!

When the flight attendant arrived, the Japanese man was still yelling like crazy:

"It's talking!"

"It's really talking!!"

"Beep! The super dungeon is a large-scale voluntary dungeon! It has been detected that a player has illegally escaped from the dungeon! Warning! Fortunately, the player Koizumi has exceeded the range of activities on the map, and the countdown to login will start! Players who do not log in to the dungeon on their own within the time limit will be forced to load! Four , three, two, one..."

The voice stopped abruptly when it said "one"!

Perhaps the voice of the auditory hallucination broadcast had reached zero?

At the same time, the plane shook suddenly, and the flight attendant hit the luggage rack and passed out immediately. There were screams everywhere, and the crew rushed to surround the flight attendant.

In the midst of the turmoil, it was hard to get rid of the female passenger who was suspected of being mentally ill, and he didn't notice when the Japanese man named Makoto Koizumi disappeared...

Guo Jia turned off the video and fell into thinking, when someone knocked on the door.

Secretary Chang walked in, "Chairman! This is the latest image from the satellite!"

Guo Jia took the image data and frowned.

Looking at the entire northern hemisphere, the plateau desert, mountains, rivers and lush forests shrouded in white clouds are all large areas of smudged color patches, yellow and green, hazy and unreal.

When the picture is focused on the North Pacific Ocean, you can observe the ravines in the dark blue and light blue seas one thousand kilometers below.

The west end of the vast dark blue is an inverted Y-shaped trench full of shadows. It was originally like a chair holding a ball holding up the island country surrounding the Sea of ​​Japan like a child, but now there is a spare seat and a blue ball. The blue canvas is cut out, as if the picture is loaded too slowly and a corner is incomplete and blank.

It can be located in Japanese coordinates. No matter how many times the map is enlarged, even if the field of view is close to the surface, this high-resolution remote sensing satellite that can capture the facial expressions of residents seems to have been strongly interfered, and it is difficult to capture images that can be converted into images. Reflected in the spectrum, in the developed picture, Japan seems to be isolated in a different space, presenting a white mosaic like snowflakes.

It is impossible to pry into the mystery.

……

The red flag car arrived at Fable Village, but Li Chuan lost interest in the game. He obviously listened to Fang Zhou's conjecture, and was full of slander for Fang Zhou's embodying his IQ in such a terrible speculation.

Fang Zhou took him through a round of missions, and seeing that he was really not motivated, he let him go offline, went to the library alone, picked up a fable, and sat in the tea area to kill time.

The bright sunlight outside the window filled the pages of the book, and the scorching sun cast a distinct silhouette on his side face. He quietly flipped through a few pages of the book, and the system beeped, indicating that the phone had received a new text message.

Ark went offline to check, followed the link provided by the text message and downloaded a thick compressed package, which was dozens of gigabytes.

After decompression, you get the software installation package with the icon of Gu Jian, and the military information of each military region that is classified into folders: from household registration details to relatives and friends, as well as military general knowledge.Such a large workload only takes a few days, which is extremely efficient.I don't know if the hacker really took the order, or the system sent the information in the name of the hacker?

But it doesn't matter.

Ark asks the incoming signal code: what is the installation package for?

Reply from the other side: [Background monitors related devices, so that data is only transmitted between fixed devices, and it will be destroyed immediately if it deviates from the set track.Anti-backup, anti-screen recording, anti-memory, anti-military leakage. 】

Fang Zhou understands and is ready to turn on the computer to grab codes.

Today, second-hand cabin players tend to be saturated, but the time limit for clearing accounts after the Valentine's Day event has come, and a large number of recycling invitation codes are being issued one after another, and there are not too many players vying for them, so it is convenient to make the most of these information use.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Li Chui's anxious face appeared on the visual screen, pacing downstairs in the chilly spring.

Fang Zhou let him into the building, and after a while he heard his heavy footsteps. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "I obviously didn't like Japan very much before, why did I feel so upset after listening to you!"

"It's normal for the rabbit to die and the fox to be sad." Fang Zhou told him to sit down.

Pour a cup of tea for Li Chui to soothe his mood, while Fang Zhou sat aside and turned on his phone.

Li Chui fidgeted for a while, then suddenly stood up, "How about we write an anonymous letter and tell the government that Japan is sinking?"

"...Even if you and I have already established a relationship of trust, self-disclosure, from cognition, to contact, to willingness to believe, you need to go through a certain amount of time and evidence that can be corroborated."

Without raising his head, Fang Zhou said: "If you want to convince the government, what identity do you use? Anonymity without knowing the details? What is the basis? A few letters from unknown sources? Or is it my one-sided inference? Unless the higher authorities witnessed the sinking of the Japanese island, Otherwise, no matter how much you write, it will be a futile struggle to no avail."

"Then you can't just do nothing, right?!"

Li Chui's character obviously couldn't sit back and watch the disaster happen, and he pretended to be an ostrich and buried his head and just lived his own life.Once he has a direction, he quickly calms down and does what he thinks!

Looking around for a pen and paper to make a draft, Li Hammer caught sight of Fang Zhou concentrating on swiping his phone. Thinking of the perfunctory way this man replied to him just now, he suddenly felt like a yellow cabbage in the field, pitiful and no one cared.

Quietly approaching Fang Zhou, he asked with great resentment: "Which little goblin took your soul away, and even left behind your main house who is in desperate need of comfort?"

Fang Zhou stroked the goose bumps on his arm, and handed the phone to Li Chui.

Seeing the contents of the decompressed document on the screen, Li Chui was as shocked as if he was holding a hot potato, and his face couldn't hide the shock, "Fuck! Fuck! Even though we brothers are the ones who killed you and buried the corpse Wrong, but I really didn’t expect that one day you would be so bold as to stride forward in crooked ways! What should I do? What should I do? Are you going to turn yourself in now, or turn yourself in, or turn yourself in!”

When Fang Zhou came back after taking the sixth letter and the kit, what he saw was Li Zhui's mournful face.

He patted Fang Zhou on the shoulder with nothing to love, "It's okay! Zhou... I have to take care of this matter for you anyway! Just don't forget my brother during the holidays! When you visit the prison, remember to bring two bottles of wine for you Two cigarettes, brother likes to smoke Furong Wang, the kind with a hard shell, don't buy it... Oh, hemorrhoid cream also has some, I heard that picking up soap is popular in it, although brother also won the third place in amateur boxing matches, but After all, it’s not as good as those vicious criminals who lick blood at the edge of their knife... And my studio, you must help me take over and run it well. Now the society always discriminates against those who have been in, and it is difficult to find a job when they come out... "

"There are a lot of dramas." Fang Zhou glanced at him speechlessly, opened the letter, and signaled, "Look."

Li Chui immediately put his whole body back together, lowered his head to read it, and raised his head in wonder: "This mysterious letter repeatedly marked the important point of the ticket—that's just an invitation code, what the hell is it?"

Fang Zhou took out the key points of the rules of the ticket written in dictation.

The only qualification is easy to understand. I have experienced the distribution of benefits, and I understand the timeliness. According to the routine of the Internet, Li Hammer can guess one, two, three, four, five, which can be activated automatically. point……

"If the invitation code is really that important, the binding in the middle is full of malice..."

……

So, the next morning.

The employees who came back from the annual vacation rushed to clean up early and found a good design studio, how did it become an online game studio?

At the moment, two newly promoted employees with junior qualifications handed in their resignation letters because their jobs were not suitable for them.As long as the other old employees have something to eat, they don't care, just play games!

Some employees deal with the work left over from years ago, while others start to rush to work!

Turning on the computer, the employees found a long sword hanging directly above the background of the desktop, which made the back of their necks feel cold. When they asked the boss, they only said that it was the running icon of the new antivirus software, so that they could concentrate on their work without worrying about it.

The employees nodded, opened the folder on the desktop, and found that all the military information was recorded in it, and they were all shocked!Two tremors, trembling calves, heart beating thump thump thump!

That indescribable expression, as if he was about to embark on the path of illegal crime, showed a lot of inner struggle.

Fortunately, Li Chui tricked me...

No, brought on!

These employees are all his fellow countrymen, classmates, juniors, and juniors.Everyone is stupid and naive. After all kinds of brainwashing by him, he is content to live a life of salted fish with no great future in the studio.

When Li Chui said that there was only a secret cooperation with the military, and he used his eloquence like a cult leader, the five employees had been deeply baptized, and only regarded this job with no name, no division, no beginning and no end as a new meaning of life , behind-the-scenes unknown pioneers who dedicated themselves to the country, there is no objection.

Hearing Li Hammer's request for credit, Fang Zhou could only shake his head and say, "It's really a shame that you didn't go into pyramid schemes."

Then he raised doubts about the noisy background sound on the phone, "Are you outside?"

"At the internet cafe."

Just after sending the prophecy email from the public mailbox found on the Internet, Li Hammer lowered the brim of his hat, pulled up the collar of the windbreaker, and under the frequent glances of the network administrator, he secretly returned the card and left this crowded urban village. An Internet cafe that is two bus transfers away from Li Chui's house.

Xu Shi pushed away a mountain that weighed heavily on his heart, and Li Chui walked through the morning market with mixed smells, feeling a little easier to breathe, and readily suggested going online to play for a while.

There is nothing wrong with the Ark.

It was not yet seven o'clock, and neither of them was hungry, so they drank soy milk and milk to pad their stomachs, and when Li Chui returned home, they made an appointment to go online.

When the staff of the studio were dizzily flipping through the military common sense documents of K and M, suffocating the answers to the anti-counterfeiting verification questions one by one, and when they were so tired that their fingers twitched and their steps trembled like turtles, the two shopkeepers shook hands. Enjoying the game time very conscientiously...
