doomsday beta

On March 3, the game entered the late autumn.

When a pair of couple players go online, they will get a task reminder:

[The mission time limit is approaching, please find the Emperor as soon as possible, and return the soil! 】

The young couple didn't respond.

The game prompts were urged over and over again, until they were ignored three times in a row, and the prompts finally changed:

[Task completion is too low, it is judged that the player is passively participating in the event, suspected of embezzlement of props, which aroused the anger of the emperor, and the hidden expansion piece "Total Rage" will be opened!Please confirm whether the player is enabled? [whether]】

The male player was shocked!

It can be found immediately that under the selection box [Yes], there is a tick option of [Anonymous].

At this time, the male player, who had never experienced the actual situation of "anonymous" coding in the game, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Does that mean that as long as the expansion pack is delivered and the Heavenly Emperor vents his anger, the props will belong to me and will not be recovered? Or force them to be taken back?"

【Yes. 】

"Then turn it on! At worst, I won't be offline for a few days!"

【Confirm to open! 】

[Corresponding to the player's real coordinates...]

[Confirm delivery! 】

At the same time, it was still evening in Jinshan District, where the couple of players lived.

When the lights first come on, the night market is very lively.

Crowds of people coming off work are surging, the streets are full of traffic, and residential buildings are brightly lit.

When it's time for dinner, the corridors are full of delicious food.

After finishing his homework, Zhang Mo got up to cook.

He took out the leftover rice from lunch, cut up some ham and vegetables, fried them a few times and put them on the table, but he didn't see his father coming out to eat.Walking to the master bedroom, pushing the door open, there was still no one there, only a second-hand game cabin that was tightly closed, with a flashing running light.

Immediately, he took out his cell phone and dialed to the line.

Hearing that they had to wait until the end of the game before coming down, Zhang Mo instantly charged in anger!

He said indiscriminately: "Can you be a little self-conscious! The surname is Li! He is too old and achieves nothing. He only knows how to play games all day long! Because of playing games, his wife ran away! My son doesn't care! He eats and drinks all day long. You want me to be a senior in high school to supervise and serve you! Aren’t you ashamed? Which father lives like you? No responsibility! Useless!”

Unmoved over there, Zhang Mo took a long breath.

Leave a sentence: "If you like to eat or not! If you don't eat, I will feed it to the dog!"

Just hang up!

When Zhang's father finished his work, he heard the door slam and chased him out wearing slippers. He saw his son who had finished eating and walked into the elevator with his schoolbag on his back.

Zhang Mo looked up indifferently after saying "Oh", and closed the elevator without hesitation.

Father Zhang looked at the slowly closing elevator door covering his son's indifferent face, sighed, and went back to the room for dinner.

The fried rice was completely cold, and Zhang's father, who was chewing silently, felt a little cold in his heart.

He knew that it was not good to like playing games. He didn't pay attention when he was young and energetic, and he regretted it when he broke up the family.In the early days, I stayed at home every day and was addicted to games. I couldn't tell if I liked games more or escaped from reality more.

Thoughts were drifting, and a reminder came to his ears.

[The map is drawn...]

Father Zhang chewed for a while and rubbed his ears.

Then came another cry:

[……The hidden expansion piece "Total Raging Water" has been launched! 】

Father Zhang thought of the rich second-generation player group he had joined, and immediately took out his phone.

As you can see, the group was still discussing security issues just a moment ago-about the recent rumors of murder, unbinding and snatching invitation codes circulating in the black market, which has brought crisis to many players.And just now, after a group of friends suddenly posted a screenshot of the mobile phone schedule, the players were all shocked!

[Limited to five days?The actual time is only at midnight today? 】

【what happened?How come expansion packs are released all of a sudden? 】

[What is "Monstrous Raging Water"?Sound like a flood?Could it be a flood or something? 】

Everyone can't take care of discussing the expansion pack, what's going on? !

Urgently:

【Hurry up!Go to the game! 】

[I need to notify my parents immediately!Fortunately, a spare cabin code has been prepared for a long time...]

By the way, inform your son!

Father Zhang woke up and called his son quickly.

The phone didn't get through, and the son was probably still angry and blocked him.

With trembling hands, he sent another text message.

Zhang's father is not like those wealthy second generations who have a lot of money and have stockpiled a lot of goods.

If he hadn't returned the code when returning to the cabin, he couldn't even afford a new code.

The reason why I spend my time in games these days is because I joined this rich second-generation player group and heard some news that seems to be true and false, so I want to please these rich kids to help them run errands, and I want to get a cabin code for my son.

Now that the cabin code is not in hand, the disaster has already arrived!

Zhang's father was so anxious that he called his son's friends one by one. They all said they didn't know where they were, and they couldn't wait for their son to call back. They bit their nails and paced back and forth.

Lucky to think: Maybe it is fake?The game expansion piece may not necessarily come true?Maybe those players have heard too much gossip and made a fuss?

I was comforting myself when I suddenly heard a loud noise!

"Boom"!

……

Sitting at a friend's house, Zhang Mo looked at the text message in the blacklist and sneered.

The good buddy who just helped get rid of Zhang’s father’s phone call came over, saw the content of the text message, was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: “Uncle, it’s really interesting, our district is called Jinshan, it’s Jinshan with many rich people and gold everywhere, isn’t it Jinshan is flooded with water! Saying that a typhoon is coming is more realistic than saying that a flood is coming!"

"Who knows what he thinks? There is no truth in his mouth!"

Zhang Mo deleted the text message, took out his textbook and started to preview.

The friend next to him asked: "Are you really not going back tonight? Just sleep here with me? Why don't you tell your uncle about it! It's really urgent to not return home at night. If he..."

"Let him die!"

Zhang Mo interrupted him, flipped through the pages of the textbook, and was about to settle down to study when he suddenly heard a loud crash!The momentum is surging!

"what sound?!"

"Where did the water burst?"

The two looked at each other and walked to the window one after another.

The Jinshan District is covered with mist, and the stars and the moon cannot be seen.

At the end of the field of vision, it seems to be covered by some kind of film. The torrential flood emerges from nowhere. Slam it down!

No sign at all!

The crowd of onlookers in the distance screamed!

"How is this going?"

"My God! Where did the flood come from?"

"Where are you going?"

All the young and old who saw this bizarre scene fled to the heights sullenly.

The friend who lived alone also rushed out of the house with Zhang Mo.

The friend ran upstairs for two steps, but found that the footsteps behind him had not followed. Looking back, Zhang Mo was running downstairs against the flow of people!

"Fuck! Where are you going?"

"Don't tell me you're going home now?!"

"Are you fucking crazy! It's a few stops from me to your house! Can you beat that flood!"

No matter how angry your friends are!

Zhang Mo, who was racing against time, still didn't look back, and left without saying a word.

The road outside is in chaos.

There are passers-by running around everywhere.

The cars collided in a series of collisions, the ground was full of falling objects, and it was a mess. The storefronts on the roadside didn't even have time to lock the doors, and the store staff all ran to the nearby high-rise rooftops!

Zhang Mo casually scanned a shared bicycle and rushed home.

After running most of the way, the flood caught up, and he swam back for the next quarter of the way.

Back in the community, the flood water had reached the height of a thirteen-story building, and it was still rising continuously.

His family lived on the eighteenth floor. Zhang Mo broke the windows of a house on the fourteenth floor. The room was empty and the door was open. The head of the household had already run away!

The elevator was soaked in water on the first floor and couldn't be used due to a malfunction. Zhang Mo followed the safety corridor and climbed to the eighteenth floor exhausted. The flood had already risen to the sixteenth floor.

The moment he opened the door and walked in, he was almost so tired that he collapsed to the ground.

Looking up, he saw Zhang's father with the same pale face. He had just dug out the swimming ring he used when he was a child from the utility room and put it on his head. Zhang Mo twitched the corner of his mouth coldly at that stupid look, but he also heaved a sigh of relief.

The night wind was blowing on his face, and Zhang Mo saw the half-open window.

I guessed that this idiot wanted to jump out of the window and swim out to find him.

Seeing Zhang Mo coming back now, Zhang's father was overjoyed, and rushed over without any image, hugging him, as if he was about to cry!

"Where did you go! I'm so anxious!"

Zhang Mo didn't have the heart to comfort him, so he took Zhang's father to the door and ran away.

"It's too late!" Father Zhang stopped him, "The corridor to the roof is locked! We can't leave! We can't escape!"

"You fucking want me to scold you? It's this time, can you be a bit manly? You're so negative all day long! Why don't you run and wait for the water to come up, hide in the house and wait to drown? Even if you are a landlubber, Your son, I’m still in the school’s swimming team! You’re afraid of a ball if I’m here!”

"No matter how good your physical strength is, how long can you swim?"

Zhang's father looked at his wet son, and at a glance he knew that he had traveled all the way back.Exhausted right now, how can I have the strength to lead him to escape?

"There are five days in the expansion, wait for the flood to submerge everything, and you swim on it without eating or drinking? How can you survive! Four hours pass in the blink of an eye outside, and when you realize it, you don't necessarily have to die here. people!"

"Don't say such nonsense that you don't understand! Follow me first!"

Seeing that the water had reached the eighteenth floor, Zhang Mo pulled Father Zhang and was about to jump out of the window.

He was caught by Zhang's father again.

"No, don't go!"

"Don't tell me, you plan to wait to die?"

Looking back, Zhang Mo saw Zhang's father touching the fruit knife on the table, gesticulating up and down, with a godlike look, which made Zhang Mo stunned for a while.

"Fuck! What are you going to do? Didn't the water drown you? Are you in a hurry to commit suicide?"

Zhang Mo rushed over to grab the knife, taking a slow step.

Zhang's father stabbed him in the stomach with his backhand, and the blood spurted and splashed on Zhang Mo's face.

After all, he is a teenager in his teens, no matter how vigorous he is on weekdays, he is still a sapling that has not yet grown up. When he first saw the cruel weather, he was caught off guard and froze withered. Scream angrily and come back to God!

"Are you fucking crazy? What stupid things are you doing!"

Zhang Mo frantically blocked Father Zhang's stomach.

The gushing blood rushes out from between the fingers...

"Crazy! Really crazy!"

Zhang Mo chattered and rolled the word "crazy" on the tip of his tongue, as if venting his unknown panic, and looked around for gauze.

At this moment, Father Zhang led Zhang Mo to the bedroom.

"Follow me, here..."

Water poured into the room from the window, soaking the slippers.

In just a dozen steps, I stumbled!

Zhang Mo supported his increasingly cold body, and entered the bedroom, thinking he was looking for gauze to stop the bleeding, when he saw the medicine box in the closet, he hurried over to search for it.As a result, the gauze didn't see it, and when he turned his head, he found that Zhang's father was pushing to open the game cabin, and fell into it with a "plop".

Zhang Mo was trembling with anger!

Grit your teeth.

"What the hell do you want to do? Are you thinking about this broken game even to your death?!"

Zhang Mo quickly crawled over to catch his father.

Just caught the person, "Bang!" Father Zhang didn't know what he pressed, the hatch cover suddenly fell, and it fit perfectly!

Zhang Mo pushed twice, but didn't push away!

It's like it's locked!

Looking at Zhang's father's bleeding stomach, he was going crazy!

"Next, what I... told you, you remember..."

Father Zhang is as angry as a gossamer.

The coldness climbed up from the soles of his feet, he gradually felt weak, and the handsome outline of his son in front of him began to blur.

He knew he couldn't survive.

He lowered his head and spread his hands, looked at the newly emerged card, and smiled.

Zhang Mo's scalp is numb from laughing!

"You're a lunatic!"

Seeing Father Zhang's satisfied smile, Zhang Mo burst into tears somehow.

Father Zhang wiped away the tears from the corners of his son's eyes with bloody hands.

"Don't, don't cry..."

He held up the blood-stained invitation code card and handed it to Zhang Mo.

At this time, Zhang Mo vaguely heard some voice, but right now he didn't have the heart to distinguish it.

Father Zhang is going to order something.

About games, about disasters, about what he heard from the group.

But when he opened his mouth, the sound came out like a mosquito humming.

Diminishing, fading...

Gradually there is no life anymore.

Return to silence.

Zhang Mo saw Father Zhang's hand slipping from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly realized something.

Tears flowed silently, endlessly.

"Dad, don't be like this...please..."

He banged on the locked game cabin with a "bang bang bang"!

In the dark cabin, there was no response!

Gradually, water seeped in from the vents, tick-tock, more and more.

Apparently floodwaters had flooded the interior.

But Zhang Mo still knocked on the bulkhead again and again, tears could not be suppressed.

"Please! Dad! Open the hatch...I'll stop the bleeding, please..."

I don't know what hit it?

"Beep -" a sound!

The game cabin began to recognize new players, and the voice prompts sounded one after another. Zhang Mo didn't have the heart to answer them, only the sound of knocking on the shell of the cabin, which made his joints bleed.

The invitation code in his hand floated down.

Scanned, identified...

……

In another villa area, Li Jian's father watched the water seep from the cracks in the doors and windows, gradually filling the room and submerging up to his shoulders.

He stood quietly in the bedroom, looking at the wedding photo of him and his dead wife.

Ever since his wife passed away because of that unfilial son, Li Dong felt that life was meaningless.

Now there is nothing wrong with being able to go down to see the deceased wife as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he kicked away the buzzing and vibrating mobile phone at his feet, closed his eyes, and waited peacefully for the death to come...

……

It was late at night offline, but it was as bright as day in the game.

Standing at the landing point of Xinshou Village, Li Jian watched a series of figures emerge with white light trailing their families and mouths.

Some players whispered and whispered.Some family members are at a loss and still don't understand what's going on?Others squatted there and wailed loudly, their clothes were still stained with blood from offline, so they knew what happened without even thinking about it?

Li Jian was waiting here, but he didn't see Father Li.The capsule he mailed to his father was probably thrown away, and the code he sent may not even be read.

But he still raised his head countless times and sighed countless times.

I didn't wait for Father Li, but I also waited for the kind of suffocation that arrived as expected.

It was as if water was pouring in from all directions, blocking the eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Breathing became more and more difficult. Under the instinct of survival, he spread his fingers uncontrollably, as if struggling in the water, his face began to twist and hide!

"what--"

The little girl who was held by her mother next to her screamed in fright.

The surrounding players also noticed Li Jian's abnormality, and there were many discussions:

"Is he ill?"

"Are there doctors and nurses?"

"I look a little out of breath!"

"You can't control it!"

A female player took a look and understood what was going on.

Pull the doctor's parents who are going to see the situation.

"He used a prop from the couple's activities in the game, which can ignore any barriers to transfer damage. This situation is drowning! Even if he turns into a corpse, he will be resurrected from the dead under the protection of the game novice, and die again. Before the props expire, unless the other side is safe, otherwise it will be futile to save..."

The little girl turned pale when she heard this.

"Is this what drowning looks like?"

"Will something happen to Dad?"

"Why isn't Dad coming up?"

The little girl raised her neck in her mother's arms and asked over and over again.

"Mom! I don't want Dad to suffer like this..."

"He'll be fine, right?"

"He'll be up soon, won't he?"

"You told me that our family will be reunited online! You can't lie to me..."

The mother and daughter are Wu Sheng's wife and daughter. When the flood came, they were reminded by Wu Sheng to take refuge online, and they waited at the landing point.

It's a pity that they waited and waited, but they were destined not to wait for the man who once played the role of father and husband in their lives.

The landing point on this day was extremely crowded.
