A car speeds across the bridge.
When Du Yixin came back to his senses, he found himself sitting in the back seat of the car, and the scenery outside the window receded quickly.
On the vast surface of the river, a huge ship made a long sound and slowly passed the bottom of the bridge, with several white waves blooming behind it.
"If you want my brother to know that the three of us went out camping secretly, he will definitely be angry." The woman in the passenger seat tilted her head, and looked at the boy in the back seat with a smile, "Isn't it right, Xiaoxin?"
That gentle and familiar face came into view, which made Du Yixin's heart feel like a heavy blow.
The air is filled with the smell of aromatherapy, and the photos of a family of four are fixed in the front row. The soft cushion under the body and the bulging backpack beside him - it's full of snacks.
Everything is so real.
Du Yixin raised his eyes and saw himself clearly in the rearview mirror. 14 years old, immature face, body has not yet grown.
At this time, his voice was hoarse due to the arrival of the voice-changing period, and his bones were crackling due to growing pains.
"There is no other way, who told him not to come back for the National Day." The man in the driver's seat held the steering wheel and watched the road ahead, "Xiaoxin, remember to take a few more photos today and send them to your brother .”
How did he answer at that time
"Leave it to me, Dad." The boy raised his phone and patted his chest, "It is guaranteed to be a harmonious and happy family of three, and no fourth person is allowed to intervene."
Almost subconsciously, Du Yixin responded.
"Stinky boy." The man smiled.
At this time, the three mobile phones rang at the same time. Du Yixin picked up his phone and looked, only to find that it was a message from his brother.
In the small group called "Dear Dear Family", my brother posted a photo of watching the military parade.
The young man didn't give up, and immediately took a selfie, including the faces of his parents, and also sent it to the small group.
Brother replied: [Where did you go to play?]
Mom replied: [Take Xiaoxin out for an outing. Who told you not to go home during the holidays, envy and envy.]
My brother replied with a "poor" emoji.
The boy immediately poked at his elder brother privately: [I know you didn't come back because you were with your girlfriend, I didn't tell mom. Remember to buy me skins!]
Brother: [Okay. Be good, don't make your parents angry.]
Du Yixin put down his phone.
His series of actions seemed to be repeating the memory of six years ago.
Whether six years is long or not, whether it is short or not. But for him, the memories of his parents when they were alive are so illusory and distant.
At that time, he could still act like a normal child, acting like a baby. Because he is the youngest child, he has been spoiled almost from childhood to adulthood.
All of a sudden, those deliberately forgotten memories flooded up.
When he was young, his parents were too busy with work, so his elder brother who was in elementary school sent him to kindergarten. He will be jealous because the elder brother is too kind to other children.
When he was in elementary school, he was very naughty. He led his little friends to play tricks on the girl he had a crush on, making her cry. The other parent came to the door, and he was beaten up by his mother as a matter of course.
He immediately ran away from home aggrieved, but was still found by his elder brother. When I got home, I hid shyly behind my elder brother and dared not go out, and was hugged by my mother crying again.
When I grew up, my father took the two brothers to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, claiming that it was a manly exercise. As a result, he couldn't bear it when he went down the mountain, so he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was lying on his father's back.
Fragments of broken memories pieced together little by little, gradually forming a complete memory.
Du Yixin supported his forehead with his palm, and the split between reality and memory gave him a headache. The past is so nostalgic, and because of this, the cold reality is even more cruel.
The parents in the front row seemed unaware of their son's state, and they still had a good time talking.
Du Yixin raised his head, but saw a black shadow approaching not far ahead. He stood up suddenly and put his hands on the back of the front seat, trying to remind his parents to pay attention, but he couldn't make a sound.
The black shadow instantly engulfed the car body.
When I woke up again, the breath of disinfectant water penetrated into the tip of my nose. His body was covered with a white quilt, and his head was covered with a snow-white ceiling, which dazzled people.
"Xiaoxin, are you awake?"
The old man's urgent voice came from beside him. Du Yixin looked over and found that it was his twenty-year-old brother. Not yet mature enough, full of youthful breath.
"… elder brother."
"You were in a car accident." Du Heng held his younger brother's hand with a sad expression, "Fortunately, you are still alive."
The temperature came from the fingertips, even the body temperature was so real.
Du Yixin opened his mouth, did not say the lines that should be said, but said: "Brother, it's a copy."
Not a car accident, but being involved in a copy. But at that time, his elder brother lied to him in this way, so he believed it, and went crazy and wanted to find the perpetrator to settle the score.
Du Heng held his hand more vigorously, as if trying to suppress the troubled younger brother in his memory: "Xiaoxin, this was just an accident." After a pause, "There is no perpetrator."
"..."
Du Yixin looked away.
What exactly is he expecting? Even if he can see his family again, the other party will only reply as he remembers, and will not realize his existence at all.
Does he want to use this vain fantasy to replace the most important person
The elder brother leaned over, hugged him gently, and patted his back: "It's okay Xiaoxin, I will stay with you."
Du Yixin covered his face with one hand. This familiar body temperature is so nostalgic, you will fall into it if you don't pay attention.
But, it's not bro.
The other party was not comforting himself, but a 14-year-old boy who fell into grief after his parents passed away six years ago.
The scene dissipated like fog, transformed again, and turned into a palace of dialect Wu.
He sat alone on the seventh floor, staring at the scattered clothes under his body, soaked in blood.
Du Yixin's eyes changed again and again. In the end, hide all emotions back to the bottom of my heart.
He stood up against the wall and returned to reality.
It was still the pure white space, and there was a clean mirror under him, reflecting his dark face.
Currently, the situation is at a stalemate. The low-level dungeons have been devoured, and now only the fifth-level and sixth-level dungeons are left on the field. It is no longer possible to further reduce the number of people by simply expanding the copy.
Du Yixin didn't know the current number of survivors. But in the past so long, there are very few players who mistakenly entered his copy.
No more time wasted.
Opening a copy will consume a lot of mental power. It's safe to stay here, but if you continue in this stalemate, it's just wasting your energy in vain. Once the mental power is exhausted, it is time to be slaughtered.
Du Yixin was decisive in opening the dungeon, and the same was true for taking back the dungeon.
On the dark red Wangchuan River, the hated old man standing on the bow of the boat looked up at Fengdu as if he felt something. Then it turned into shiny fragments and scattered in the air.
The river water disappeared bit by bit, and a white line wrapped around it from the outside to the inside. Every time it passes by, the scene there dissipates.
The first is the Wangchuan River, followed by the Naihe Bridge. Cross the Wangxiang Stone and go straight to the Hall of Ecstasy. Finally invaded Fengdu, and the copy area was further reduced.
Emperor Fengdu was the first to appear, but the last to disappear.
He has been serving on both sides of Du Yixin, feeling that his body is gradually getting lighter, he folded his hands together, and bowed to Du Yixin.
Then, he disappeared too.
Du Yixin is the only one left in the huge pure white space. He became the same as when he first came in, standing alone in the empty place.
Only this time, he was not confused or hesitant. Take a step forward and run forward.
The purpose is very clear, to hack into other people's copies and kill the mastermind behind the scenes.
It didn't take long for the space to have color again. Du Yixin slowed down and looked around. Find yourself in a ruined city.
Row upon row of high-rise buildings, no pedestrians on the road, only abandoned cars in the middle.
There seemed to be a series of rear-end collisions not far ahead. Several cars were dented front and rear, windows were broken, and the wheels bounced out, flying into a clothing store by the roadside. The glass of the store door was shattered.
Under Du Yixin's feet lay a costume doll, the clothes were dirty, and the head was stained with blood.
He stepped over and walked on.
This extremely modern city seems to have been lost by time. Empty and eerily quiet.
Just then, there was a gunshot in the alley ahead. Followed by messy and hasty footsteps, a woman in white galloped out.
She was followed by several men in military uniform. While protecting her, he shot behind her.
The woman in white rushed towards Du Yixin, and when the two of them met their eyes, the woman froze for a moment.
"Fortune, survivor?" She couldn't believe it.
Soon, Du Yixin saw clearly what was chasing them.
In the alley, a nest of zombies swarmed out. Pale complexion, skin ulceration. Or a rotten eyeball, or a big hole in the stomach. Running all the way, the organs fell all the way.
Even so, they are still agile. Stretching its arms, it looks ferociously to catch its prey.
Another shot was fired, and the soldiers behind him smashed the head of the nearest zombie. When he still wanted to shoot, he found that there was no bullet.
Immediately afterwards, his body was grabbed by five or six arms dripping with pus and blood, and he was dragged into the crowd of zombies.
"No!" The soldier let out a scream.
Several zombies squatted down, gnawing on the fresh prey.
Seeing that their companions were arrested, the other soldiers, although resentful, were helpless. Instead of entangled with the zombies, they took advantage of the gap to catch up with the woman in white.
"Doctor Bai, this way!"
"There are still survivors here."
Of course the leading soldiers also saw Du Yixin, but right now it is more important to keep the researchers who develop the antidote than civilians.
So he grabbed the woman in white and ran forward: "Doctor, please put your own safety first!"
Soldiers pass by. Du Yixin stared at the zombies running towards him with their teeth and claws flailing, and used "time stop".
A dark yellow light instantly covered the surrounding area. Whether it was the roar of the monster, the scream of the person being eaten, or the hurried pace behind him, they all stopped at this moment. Like an old photograph stained yellow.
The nearest zombie, whose nails were almost scratching his cheek, also stood there for a moment. Du Yixin backed away, pulled out the firearms held by the soldiers, and pulled the trigger.
With little aiming required, these stationary targets all took a bullet to the head.
Then he hung the machine gun back, disabling the ability.
The woman in white stepped out, but heard the heavy sound of flesh/body falling to the ground behind her.
That poor survivor... As she thought so, she couldn't bear to look back, only to see the zombies who were alive and well just now fell to the ground one after another with their heads bleeding.
The soldiers also noticed this change and stopped one after another.
The audience was silent, and it wasn't until Du Yixin turned to look at them that someone came back to his senses: "God, how did you do it?"
Du Yixin: "Call your master out."
Hearing this, the soldiers looked at each other in surprise, but did not speak.
"You mean, do you want to find the supreme commander of the military?" The woman in white asked, "If so, maybe we can cooperate."
She reached out her hand to Du Yixin: "My name is Bai Jing."
Very old story.
One day the virus leaked and humans turned into zombies. The virus was extremely overbearing, not only food, but even the air was polluted. People with weak resistance become zombies before they have time to react.
After deliberation, the government finally ordered the city to be abandoned to prevent further spread of the virus.
But in this blocked city, apart from the zombies, there are still a small number of survivors who are struggling to survive—they were abandoned.
At this time, it was Dr. Bai Jing who stood up. She was in a dangerous situation, but still successfully developed a vaccine by drawing the blood of many zombies.
Although completely zombified humans cannot be saved. But if it is only bitten, it can also return to normal through this vaccine.
Because there is no way of knowing for sure whether the virus has spread outside the city. In order to obtain the vaccine, the government still sent an elite team to rescue Dr.
It was a miserable rescue battle. The original team of nearly a hundred people was besieged by dozens of waves of zombies, but the number dropped to a dozen or so. But they finally managed to receive the doctor, as long as they got on the heavy armored vehicle, they would be successful.
However, when they worked hard to get to the heavy armored vehicle, they found that the soldiers who stayed behind were bitten. The engine was sparking and would not start.
Then, the zombies mixed into the heavy armored vehicle swarmed down. They sacrificed several companions to escape, dragged Dr. Bai Jing to escape here, and met Du Yixin.
Dr. Bai: "Although it is an unfeeling request, if possible, can you act with us?"
"As long as you escape from the city, there will be responders." A soldier said, "If you can send the vaccine safely, you will be a hero of mankind."
Sure enough, there is no way to communicate directly with the NPC.
Du Yixin didn't plan to clear the dungeon, he just wanted to lead out the mastermind as soon as possible. But the other party may not take the initiative to show up, is there any way
"Please, humans need you." Dr. Bai Jing stepped forward and held his hand.
Du Yixin lowered his head and put his eyes on the clasped hands, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the ring hanging around his neck.
This is Ying Sheng's ring. When I asked Brother Liu Hong to help put on the chain, I also wanted a psychological comfort.
If it was Ying Sheng, what would he do at this time
For some reason, he suddenly recalled the scene of that guy making a fuss at the beginning of the dungeon "Road to Stars".
Not only destroyed all NPCs, but also arrogantly stated that he would kill all players and seize the keys. As a result, the owner of the copy had to come forward to appease.
so…
Dr. Bai Jing didn't hear a response for a long time, and suddenly felt a little uneasy: "That..."
The young man in front of him slowly raised his head, his eyes were dark and secretive.
She trembled unconsciously, let go of the young man's hand, and took a step back.
The soldiers also noticed the change in this person's breath, dragged the woman behind them, and pointed their guns at Du Yixin. Seeing the other party take a step forward, he stopped immediately: "Stop, or you will shoot!"
However, in the next second, the young man in front of him disappeared.
Their eyes widened in astonishment.
