Doomsday Wonderland

Although no one dared to waste even half a second, an hour still passed by like a blink of an eye. When the TV screen finally returned to zero at the last second, a line of large white characters jumped up in front of everyone's eyes.

"Time ends, blocking failed. The 12th will begin."

In the living room, there was a glimmer of sweat on everyone's foreheads, and the heavy breathing of someone who had not yet adjusted could be heard clearly in the room. In the past hour, no one was idle, and the entire town was turned upside down; however, except for themselves, not even a single living person was found, let alone a new game conference—— If you want to look outside the town, the map is almost infinite, and one hour is not enough.

"Han Suiping," Lin Sanjiu asked in a low voice while looking at the big white characters, "Did you feel the signal?"

One of Han Suiping's arms had already turned into a blue-black claw. After hearing this, he closed his eyes for a few seconds and then shook his head. "There is no... text that appears to be produced directly through color by some kind of force field, with no signal transmission involved."

Lin Sanjiu nodded. She didn't have high hopes.

"Starting after the 12th," the words on the screen changed, "Players within the radius of the message are asked to go to the elevator at the publicity sign at the entrance of this town immediately and rush to the next game venue on the negative floor."

elevator?

She looked back and found everyone frowning. They had all seen the billboard with the name of the town on it, standing at the intersection of the highway. They had seen it several times when scanning and searching, but they had never found any elevators.

Even after this announcement appeared, the road under the highway sign was still empty, and it didn't look like there was an elevator. When the people who came in a hurry looked at each other, there was suddenly a low friction sound of metal and stone slabs on the road ahead. After the road surface suddenly and slowly separated, another layer of metal plates was exposed underneath, and a square shape was gradually opened. of holes. Everyone gathered around, lowered their heads and looked in, and found that there was a very large elevator box inside, including digital buttons and display screens.

"This doesn't look like something that appeared after the apocalypse." Ji Shanqing jumped down first, looked around, turned to Lin Sanjiu and said, "Look, there is a manufacturer's name in the corner. Checking the date... it should be built by the human society here, but I don’t know what it is used for.”

"This space is big enough," Lin Sanjiu looked at it and said. There were eight of them in total, and they were all standing in the elevator. There was still a lot of space in the elevator box.

"The notice tells us to go to the first floor, right?" asked the female evolver named Lu Hua.

There is also a lighted "G" key on the elevator dashboard. Different from the ordinary G layer, the G layer they are currently on is the highest surface layer. Lin Sanjiu tried pressing the button a few times and found that only the next floor could be unlocked. Not long after the upper door panel closed, the elevator began to gradually sink.

Although it was only one floor deep, unexpectedly, everyone stayed in the elevator for four or five minutes. They didn't know whether it was because it was too slow or because it sank to such an alarming depth. When it finally stopped, the elevator door ahead opened.

A man wearing a black hat and a white mask was standing motionless outside the elevator door, his hands clasped in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a long time. His whole body was covered tightly, not even an inch of skin or hair could be seen.

"Welcome to the negative level," the voice coming from behind the round white mask was buzzing and distorted, and the tone had no meaning of welcome. "Please don't be nervous. I am a volunteer on this floor and I am here to help." Everyone adapts to the world of this game."

"It's not a fallen species... he's an evolved person." Sibaan frowned and whispered.

The man in the white mask nodded, looked at him Xun Sheng, staggered back two steps, as if he was startled, and his voice finally had a voice: "Ah, are you... a soldier?" Who is that in the arsenal?"

Sibaan said nothing. Being able to recognize Siba'an not only shows that this person comes from the Twelve Worlds, but also shows that he is clear-minded and has free will at this time - can the evolved person who comes to this world really be able to volunteer as a volunteer?

The masked volunteer seemed unwilling to talk any more. He mumbled a few times, wiped his hands on his pants, and regained his composure. "First of all, I would like to congratulate you for passing the test of the surface level and entering this game world without knowing anything." He said this many times and stepped away from the elevator door as he spoke. , revealing an empty gray room behind him. "This is the place to watch the new game launch... I will be responsible for explaining the rules of this world to you. Come, please come with me."

This underground space covers hundreds of square meters. The walls above and below the head and around the sides are all flat walls painted with gray cement. From the ceiling above, a projector hangs down and is projecting on one of the walls. The words "Please wait" appeared. The masked volunteer led everyone into the center of the room, took out the remote control and pressed it, and the picture on the wall suddenly changed.

"If the surface of the earth is counted as the highest level, there are 10 levels in this world." As the mask volunteer explained, a schematic diagram was displayed on the wall. "Each area has several underground elevators that can reach the underground level. Note that only the surface, fifth and tenth floors are interconnected and can be changed freely; the underground spaces on other levels are independent. "

The picture on the wall shows an anatomy of an ant's underground nest. From the diagram, it seems that the area where Lin Sanjiu and others are located covers hundreds of square kilometers, obviously covering more than just that small town; the area of ​​the independent underground layer in each subdivision has been reduced a lot.

"Why is there such a construction?" The evolver named Host asked.

"This involves the cause of the end of the world." The masked volunteer said, changing the content on the wall. "I don't know how long ago, in this prosperous, peaceful and balanced human society, as boredom spread, a small group of people began to play reality games."

A group of green cartoon figures stand on the projection, some of which are dyed yellow.

"This small group of people will make their own rules, set up venues, provide conditions, and launch large-scale games in life. It is said that in order to realize the game, they can even bankrupt... The participants of the game have also been there since the beginning. The people who were informed and invited gradually turned into the general public who were uninformed and involved. For some reason, many people who have participated in real-life games will also start to actively participate in setting up the game after the game is over, and the more dangerous the game, the more dangerous it will be. Attractive.”

As the explanation continued, the green cartoon people turned yellow one by one, and the group of yellow cartoon people gradually expanded.

"It initially seemed like a harmless means of entertainment for humans and animals. As the number of participants increased like a snowball, it soon developed into a problem that society had to face up to. They found that this symptom of wanting to play real-life games is a type of brain disease. A permanent disorder of local function, and after a specific experience, the normal brain will also show similar symptoms due to stimulation... Although it is not a virus, it is still called a game virus because it makes it easier for the public to understand its infection. Sex. It drags down the entire society and makes it difficult to operate smoothly, not to mention the safety and economic problems caused by the variety of game content."

"Is there no way for the military and state agencies to stop it?" Han Suiping couldn't help but ask.

The mask volunteer clicked the remote control. Two groups of yellow cartoon figures appeared on the wall, both holding guns and appearing to be fighting each other. "I was about to say this... The army that was once sent to prevent the operation of a large-scale game was infected and held a large-scale war game on its own. As a result, only the nearby civilians were killed. Tens of thousands of people were killed or injured."

"So, this underground facility is a means of self-protection?" Lin Sanjiu understood.

"Yes, because they don't know why this symptom occurs, let alone how to prevent it or treat it, and they really can't afford the consequences of the spread of the game virus... For example, small games with a small number of people, It even only takes two or three people, just one family, so it is not uncommon for a family to have only one living person left. The government built this large underground facility as soon as possible and moved in normal people, except for necessary communication Outside the level, each area is isolated from each other. This can effectively prevent the spread of the game virus even if an accident occurs underground."

Obviously, the plan failed and the world became what it is today.

The mask volunteer pointed to the new projection on the wall and said: "Perhaps due to the Matthew Effect, it seems that the world will end before it is officially completed and put into use."

"So, all the evolvers who come to this world," Ji Shanqing asked, "have to play games constantly like they did before? We don't feel the urge to set up games... "

The masked volunteer nodded. He sighed and said: "That means none of you will become a fallen species. However, just because you are not infected does not mean that you will not set up a game...Here, after every game, UU reads a book www.uukanshu.net will have some evolvers randomly assigned to the task of releasing new games, which means that every game you participate in is actually designed by other evolvers."

In this way, preventing new game launches is preventing other evolvers from releasing new games.

"What about punishment?" Ji Shanqing asked the most critical question, "What will happen if we don't cooperate?"

"When it's your turn, it won't matter if you don't set up a game. It's just that you will continue to be dragged into other people's games next time." The masked volunteer said flatly, "You may say, then no one will Wouldn’t it be great to set up a game? However, this is almost impossible. Because anyone who sets up a game will be exempted from the obligation to participate in the game next time, and can also receive part of the materials they request as a reward. If nothing unexpected happens, Everyone has to survive 14 months. The fewer games they participate in during these 14 months, the higher the chance of survival... If you don’t set up the game, others will set up the game, so in the end, everyone Everyone hopes to set up the game by themselves, and if possible, they will even compete for this opportunity."

This is...the so-called prisoner's dilemma, right? Lin Sanjiu thought secretly.

Sibaan suddenly turned his head and glanced at the volunteer. "This game is about to start, and you are just here as a volunteer to commentate. It doesn't look like you are going to participate in the game... So you must have set up the game? As a volunteer , I guess this is how you behave after being exempted from the obligation to play, right?"

The masked volunteer made no sound and reached out to touch his neck, which was covered by his collar.

"You are indeed very quick-minded...I'm sorry, but the previous Blue Wall Man was designed by Bucai."
