doomsday beta

Knowing the situation at Fang Zhou's house, Li Chui called him to have a New Year's Eve dinner with the employees who didn't go home from the studio in the afternoon.

During the period, I asked him about the medical examination.

"Zhou, don't hold back if you have something to do. Which one of us is with whom? If you want Brother Murder to help you bury your body, it's not enough if you don't even tell me." Li Chui drank all over his face. Flushed, he patted Fang Zhou's shoulder fiercely, "I always feel that the tone of the doctor's report is wrong, and I've been thinking over and over for the past few days, what's the matter?!"

Fang Zhou shook his head, indicating that it didn't matter.

In the endocrine treatment plan given by the doctor this morning, in order to block androgen to the maximum extent, surgery or drug castration is unavoidable.For those old men who get sick after half a century, there may be no difference between circumcision and suppression of sexual function, but Fang Zhou is only in his twenties after all, even if the sex is weak, it is difficult to accept this plan that hurts the self-esteem of men .

But the feeling doesn't stop there.

Perhaps this disease is a catastrophe for others; for him, birth, old age, illness and death are nothing but ordinary.

Perhaps having experienced the death of his parents and grandfather, Fang Zhou was alone, and his perception of life had already deviated from ordinary people. After thinking about it, he felt that there was nothing worth talking about except adding to the worries of others, so he left the topic.

Because he had to go out tomorrow morning, Fang Zhou didn't stay with the studio to watch the New Year's Eve, and returned home early.

Found a letter from "another you" stuffed under the door.

Since the launch of "Noah's Ark", mysterious letters have become more and more frequent.So far, he still can't figure out where the letter is going to push him.But in his heart, he didn't feel that the letter sent under his name really came from another ark that might come from the future or a parallel world.

Obviously, being able to send a warning letter to yourself proves that the sender only knows his handwriting, but never really knows him.

On the contrary, the game system that flatters him in the attribute panel is more like a close relationship with the sender.

But because of this, he was a little confused. Is the visitor good or evil?

Fang Zhou changed into his home clothes and lay down on the bed before opening the letter.

The content is still a bit cryptic and vague.

[To Ark:

When the zero o'clock bell rings, the dead souls who have lost their homeland will be reborn in "Noah's Ark", and the human beings who are vying to be the executioners know nothing about their evil deeds.This will be a restless night, blood will kick off the new year...]

Fang Zhou frowned, or did the letter originally want to appear unfathomable?

But to be honest, he hated the feeling of being confused.Seeing that the words below were full of congratulations on the New Year, he closed the letter and prepared to fall asleep.

Waking up suddenly from the bed at night, Fang Zhou looked at the ceiling in a daze, and took a long time to get out of the nightmare.

The crackling noise outside hit his ears, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. He saw that the time was not yet zero, and the sound of firecrackers should be going on for a while. He got up and went to the bathroom, and then climbed into the game to pass the time.

There are many night owls watching the New Year's Eve.

Fang Zhou regained consciousness from the sense of weightlessness, and saw that the long queue was even better than before, and they were all young faces, congratulating each other back and forth, and people who had never met before chatted together.

After getting into the Hongqi car, the male anchor on the car TV dragged out the long tail with a tired expression, repeating the old announcement:

"To all players in Iran: The hidden NPC in the service area has not been triggered, and the expansion pack failed to open. Please make persistent efforts and look forward to the next event."

At the end, there was a very vivid "tsk", full of disgust.

It attracted a car full of players to express their pity to the Iranian players, but Fangzhou felt a little lucky.

Some players mentioned the National Day expansion pack along the topic, and talked about the posts they had read on Japanese game forums.

It's a little strange, "I heard that after the Japanese server players went online, they have already received a notification that the expansion pack has been updated, but the problem is that there is nothing in the game map, and the copies and NPCs have no special performance, and there are no mission rings in their hands. The timing is exactly the same as before, there are several pages of posts and hundreds of floors of discussions, all of which are guessing whether the game party is playing with empty guns?!"

The players discussed a few words, but they soon lost their minds about the situation in other countries' service areas.

"Ding dong!" The male anchor on the TV suddenly changed his expression and raised the corners of his mouth when the time was announced at zero o'clock.

Read the latest announcement with the excitement of a shark smelling blood:

"On this day of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new, on behalf of Noah's Ark, I would like to congratulate all the Chinese people on a happy Spring Festival! As a token of my gratitude, from now until 23:59:59 tonight, the China service area will open a temporary mall for sale Festival props firecrackers.

The specific usage method is as follows:

We have put a certain number of Nian Beasts (Note: invisible to the naked eye) into the back hills of each Xinshou Village.The player lights a string of firecrackers and throws them to make the Nian beast within a radius of three meters appear.Players can get corresponding experience points by killing Nian Beast, and have a chance to get random drop equipment and special items. "

"Good thing!"

"...God, sorry, I finally see the hope of getting rid of the zero level!"

The players in the car were instantly excited, and they opened the panel one after another to look for the temporarily loaded mall.

It is the latest lit icon in the row of icons at the top of the home page window. The whole screen is full of firecrackers, which is very conspicuous, but the purchase method is unexpected.

"Damn it! You don't need krypton gold, you can buy it for free?"

I saw that the purchase page that was shared and shown to the neighbors was a 3D projection of a balance, with small firecrackers and weights placed next to it.

Immediately, someone tried to buy it, reached out and pinched the phantom of the firecracker.

It may be that the rich and powerful are used to it. Hulala filled a plate, and the other side of the balance was tilted high. It was not until all the weights were dumped that it was barely balanced, and a [exchange successful] prompt popped up.

Immediately, the sound of breaking wind came, and the air around the player seemed to be torn apart, distorted suddenly, and a plate of firecrackers appeared out of thin air and smashed down, and the player was buried tightly by surprise, piled up into a two-meter-high hill, frightening The other heroic masters shook their hands and restrained a lot.

Buy in small quantities and pack them into carry-on bags in batches.

Fang Zhou held the weight and spun around, looking over and over again.

I always feel that according to his guess about Japan's National Day, the blessings of "Noah's Ark" are all malicious.Sure enough, he found some unusual small characters at the bottom of each weight.

Such as: [luck -1] [wealth -1] [official luck -1] and so on.

But apparently he wasn't alone in discovering this.

Not far from the seat, someone yelled, "...you look at the bottom of the weight, are you serious?"

Immediately, someone "haha" laughed and said: "Of course, he is serious and funny! I didn't expect the game planning to be quite humorous, and there is a small easter egg hidden under the weight. I really didn't notice it if I was not careful."

Other players responded one after another:

"The details are good!"

"This idea is really good, and it complements this weight balance!"

"It's really interesting. I want to share it with my circle of friends so that the creative department can take a good look."

When the red flag car arrives at the station, the players get off the car and get together in twos and threes to seek cooperation.

Because they don't know the level of Nian Beast and whether it is easy to fight, they plan to form an alliance temporarily and rush to the back mountain in groups to throw firecrackers.

Judging by their elated expressions, it is obvious that they did not take the word "weight" seriously.

On a cold winter day, Fang Zhou wrapped his cloak tightly, stood beside the no-burning sign erected in the central square, strolled in the midday sun, and looked around the extremely quiet and extremely noisy village.

Extremely quiet is the norm in other streets of Fable Village, and extremely noisy is the gloomy Wolf Street. Since the opening of the "Wolf is Coming" teahouse this morning, it has been overcrowded all day long. Usually at nine or ten o'clock at night is the peak time for players to go online. The crowds subsided in the early morning.

Today, because of the Chinese New Year, there is still a lot of people at the moment.

Fang Zhou caught sight of the long line of teahouses in Gray Street, and without thinking for a long time, he set off for the back mountain.

After passing the business district, we arrived at the residential area. At this time, we could already see the red debris dancing with the wind in the dusty sky.

The real and pungent smell of sulfur dioxide comes downwind.

Ark looked for the noisy noise, and from a long distance, he heard the high-pitched voices of people who were surprised and laughing mixed with the sound of cannons and the screams and roars of the Nian Beast, which seemed to be very lively.

In the crackling firecracker room, players laughed and cursed, each showed their own unique skills, and used self-made tools without special bonuses: smashing bricks and stones with corners, breaking sharp branches and sticks, somehow Lighted torch paper rolls, cloth ropes with knotted sleeves, and players who are all muscled and muscular simply go into battle with bare hands!

Xu is that the wounds in the game can be repaired automatically, and everyone looks extraordinarily brave and fearless, outflanking and attacking in twos and threes.

"These beasts are too stupid?!"

"Tsk, this is still a monster with a series? It's too bad!"

"It's not good to be weak? Don't get cheap and act good! Look at the experience points! Just kill one and you will be promoted by half a level! It's a lot of money!!!"

"Experience is really good! Several people have so many points, but the drop rate is too low. After killing so many, I can't find two extra rewards after searching through the corpses..."

Nian beasts are from level [-] to level [-], and they were originally higher than the player's level, but one glance at the remains of Nian beasts strewn across the field, you can see that they have an empty and domineering appearance, with a single horn that is harder than a rhinoceros horn, but There is no such thing as the cruelty and ferocity of massacring villages in mythology.

Maybe just a light lift of a foot is enough to kick away the players who are showing off their power in front of it, but some giants are like giant lions with insufficiency, flying with long red-spotted hair, slow in response, clumsy in movement, and seem to be unable to adapt A majestic and huge body.

Some can trip over themselves while walking; some panicked and fell on the same hands and feet, fell on all fours and couldn't turn over for a long time, so they could only foolishly let others use unpleasant self-made weapons Slow work and killing; others, trembling with fright, screaming, their huge bodies curled up like a baby, their heads buried deep in their forelimbs, pretending to be ostriches, so weak that they dare not even resist.

Among the players' one-sided massacre, only one Nian Beast with red horns on its head was particularly "vicious", showing the bloodiness that a level five monster should have, and its rampage like a wild boar affected many players!

However, no matter how much you sweep away thousands of troops, you can't resist attacking them in groups.

The fierce beast that provoked public outrage was taken care of by the players, and soon it was covered in cuts and bruises, its head was bleeding, and the blood gushing out was dripping all the way with its dodging movements.

"This blood is so lifelike!"

Someone sniffed the bloody smell in the air, and praised again and again: "The color is similar, and the smell is also similar. The game party really has a heart. If I don't know it's fake, I really can't do it!"

He said so, but his subordinates did not forget to add a few more sticks, hitting the vital points quickly and accurately, without delaying at all.

As long as you get through the initial psychological discomfort of killing lives and seeing blood, follow the crowd to hunt, push the players step by step across the inner barriers, shed the appearance of being well-dressed, those who are bound by the modern legal society, buried deep in the heart and suppressed, return The primal bestiality of mammals - finally out of the cage!

In the turmoil of the crowd, seeing the sun again, growing savagely...

The weak Nian Beast was finally defeated by the crowd and fell to the ground.

Blood flowed under his body, and the soaked soil became sticky and muddy, causing the surrounding players to turn away in disgust and wipe off the blood stains on the soles of their shoes.

The strong smell of blood almost covered up the sense of smell, causing some players to sneeze uncomfortably, "Look, is there any dropped items?"

A few people went forward to check the twitching monster several times, but they didn't see anything dropped, and some players clicked their tongues, "There's nothing, and it's a waste of time to resist so fiercely!"

As he spoke, he kicked a few times to vent his dissatisfaction.

Inadvertently ran into its wide-eyed eyes, as if it could eat people, and its canthus was about to split.

It seems that the unwillingness and resentment in it can turn into blood and tears and flow out of the eyes.

The player was so frightened that he turned his feet and almost sprained himself. He couldn't help but find something to cover his eyes, and muttered: "The eyes are so ugly! If it wasn't for the program code of the Nian Beast, I would have it." Feeling guilty."

"That's not it! I just caught a docile Nian beast with someone, and I didn't see how to struggle, so I fell into the trap by myself, and obediently tilted my head up and didn't move around. It's also level five, and the eyes are particularly spiritual. , there is still a bit of maternal brilliance, just like the pregnant woman in my neighbor. I approached it with a stone on my shoulders, and the eyes were crying, and there was a whimpering sound in my mouth, as if I was begging for something. For a moment my heart softened."

After the player finished speaking, he sighed.

Others asked: "What's wrong?"

"Finally, when we searched for the dropped items, we found that this year's beast had a bulging belly. When we cut it open, it was really pregnant! The game data is not only very confusing, but also the details can pierce your heart unexpectedly. , which makes me feel a little uncomfortable right now."

While the two were talking, a player poked the still twitching Nian Beast with a wooden stick, "Isn't it dead?"

A few people came a few more times to make sure that Nian Beast was no longer alive, but after tossing and turning, it still couldn't find anything, so they could only leave in disappointment.

Fang Zhou watched Nian beasts fall one after another, and one after another was refreshed amidst the sound of firecrackers.

They obviously have the same appearance, even male and female cannot be distinguished, but Fang Zhou looks at the pair of huge animal eyes full of humanity, as if he can see through each unique soul.
