"Why, why, I'm already an ordinary person, why are you still killing me?!"
In a dilapidated apartment, a man collapsed in the corner of the stairs, with a lot of blood dripping from his body, and his face was pale and almost bloodless. He didn't quite understand why he became an ordinary person, but he still became a target of the same kind.
The man who killed him licked the blood on the knife's edge, and then let out a pleasant laugh: "Who told you that you are an ordinary person? Your system will come back, but, I think in order, it is estimated that In a few dozen days!"
The man who fell in the pool of blood didn't even know what the other person meant until he died, and seeing that he was dead, the man put away the knife, then pulled off the gloves, and watched the number on it changed from "7" to "" 6", and the other side's points are all incorporated into her points.
"Let me see, which rookies haven't harvested yet."
…
The new competition system seems to be very unfair to the hosts who are behind the ranking. However, as Hao Jian said, everyone starts from the same starting point. The tasks, achievements, rewards, etc. are almost all determined after the comparison of numerical values. There is no unfairness. statement.
The reason for the backwardness is that the system and the host did not work hard and did not use their brains. This can't be blamed on the mechanism.
Just like Hao Jian only recovered on the thirteenth day, but during these thirteen days, she still had the courage to face the siege of zombies, cleverly arranged and escaped.
This is not because of unfairness, but because she has the ability and brain.
What's even more unexpected is that some hosts will simply fall into the arms of zombies because they can't stand the blow of losing the system...
Hao Jian laughed when he heard these rumors: "Such people are not worthy of my pity. They have the courage to feed zombies. Why don't they have the courage to live by their own abilities?"
"The glory, esteemed status, and fame brought by the ability in the past are all priceless. For these people, perhaps losing these is the most unbearable thing!" Lian Runing said.
"I agree with what the younger sister said!" Hao Jian said.
Lian Ru Ning smiled complacently at Hao Jian, and everyone who saw this scene looked away with chills: "I said you guys are done, it's not enough to show your love and affection outside, how about you continue when you come back?!"
"Don't talk about us, who is the one who likes to show affection in front of people the most every day, you know what." Hao Jian glanced at Peng Mao and Xin Ting.
You Xiaoxiao is quite proud, because he actually seldom shows affection along the way. After all, he sometimes can't tell the difference between Lian Rumeng and Lian Ruling, and it would be bad if he made a joke in front of everyone.
And this is actually more of Lian Rumeng's handwriting, because her hair grows almost as long as Lian Ruling's, and she is always tied into a ponytail. Secondly, she often changes clothes and pretends to be Lian Ruling, not only to tease Hao Jian, and deliberately left him out.
Of course, every time she teased Hao Jian, she would be exposed, and You Xiaoxiao couldn't get angry. After all, he couldn't even recognize his girlfriend. It was a failure.
You Xiaoxiao also reflected on this, and after getting along with Lian Ru Ning for a long time, it was only when she completely distinguished the two sisters' personalities and temperaments.
Knowing that they were back, An Minghui came to pick them up specially. Seeing that they were all in good spirits, they were able to tease each other, and they seemed to be lively, so he laughed: "It seems that the days outside are better than the ones outside. Here at leisure, I envy you all."
"You can indeed envy us. Although there are risks outside, the rewards are also rich." Shi Gongtai said with a smile, he felt that based on their experiences, several travel notes could be compiled.
"If I have time, I'd really like to hear about the thrilling things you all encountered, but not right now. The chairman wants to ask the subcontractor to have a meeting with Hao Shanshan," An Minghui said.
Yes, these two are from the "special response team". They have been wandering outside for so long, and I don't know how many meetings I have missed. Besides, Hao Jian probably knew what happened, so Wen Shanggao couldn't help holding a meeting as soon as she came back!
She thought for a while and said to An Minghui, "We'll talk about the meeting later. I'll send my junior sister back first."
An Minghui was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hao Jian to suddenly slack off. He thought about it and didn't want to force her, so he went over to Shi Gongwei first, and then reported to Wen Shanggao.
Wen Shanggao only nodded when he heard the words: "Got it, let her go!"
Having said that, he still found a day to visit Hao Jian on the University City Island.
Since Hao Jian returned to the University City Island with Lian Runing, his life has been quite leisurely. Now Gao Ruosu has basically recognized the fact that his daughter's object is also a woman. Not only does he not object, but he often asks Hao Jian to have dinner with them.
And Lian Ruji occasionally sighs into the air, and Lian Rumeng sees through his mind at a glance: "Can't you stand your sister Leong and your goddess showing love in front of you?"
"I didn't, Sister Meng, don't talk nonsense." Lian Ruji said, in fact, what if Hao Jian was his goddess, he was humiliated by his sister, and he had long stopped thinking about prying his sister's corner.
It's just that his mother now sees that both sisters have a partner, so she turns her attention to him. Not only does he always test his homework on weekdays, but he also urges him to fall in love. Even the doomsday can't escape the forced marriage at home, can he not sigh!
"Yes, you are almost 21, don't you think about solving the single problem?"
Lian Ruji covered her ears: "Sister Meng, even you are here to nag me!"
Lian Rumeng sneered and said, "Come on, what are you thinking, I don't know yet? It's just that I'm not at ease, I'm afraid that I'll give up my feelings for a relationship, and something will happen in the end!"
Lian Ruji was silent for a moment and said: "According to the public intelligence warning, the number of zombies has not only not continued to decrease, but has continued to increase intermittently, and with their evolution, I can't guarantee that I can survive in the future. Not to mention that it can protect the other half."
Lian Rumeng patted him on the shoulder: "Then prepare yourself to live in advance! Over the years, you and I have always come here. You are a man, and you can behave better than us. "
Lian Rumeng left after speaking, and it didn't take long for Lian Ruji to quit his job in the archives and ran to Hao Jian and You Xiaoxiao, hoping that they could teach him some means of survival. Although he has read a lot of guides such as survival in the wild in the book, it is not very applicable to the doomsday mode, and he has not experienced actual combat, so it is necessary for him to seek advice from experienced people.
Hao Jian was hearing that Wen Shanggao was coming and was going to see each other. Hearing the words, he slipped Hao Zuo out and said, "You two learn from each other and guide each other."
Hao Zuo didn't understand what it meant at first, but after hearing that Lian Ruji wanted to learn relevant survival skills, he raised his head and raised his chest. He was a little proud.
Besides, Lian Ruji was three years older than Hao Zuo, so he taught someone older than himself, which satisfied Hao Zuo's vanity. However, in the process of teaching, although Lian Ruji had no practical experience, he was rich in theoretical knowledge, so he raised the point that Hao Zuo neglected several times. If Hao Zuo could not explain it, he was so anxious that he almost cried.
Lian Ruji was stunned. He didn't expect that this kid and his goddess were born from the same father, but he didn't expect that their temperaments were so different!
…
"Chairman Wen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look good. It seems that these days are going well." Hao Jian said, looking at Wen Shanggao who was sitting across from him.
Wen Shanggao held a cup of tea, looked up at the sky that was half-covered by the sun umbrella, and said, "I wonder if the sun is so big, your eyes won't be so blind."
"Chairman Wen is making fun of me?"
"How dare I make fun of you." Wen Shanggao noticed Hao Jian's gloves and asked, "When did you recover? You didn't tell me. It seems that you really can't trust me."
"How could it be?" Hao Jian said with a smile, although it was against her heart, but if she wanted to say that, Wen Shanggao couldn't really hold on to it.
Obviously, when Hao Jian gave up on getting the result he wanted from her, Hao Jian had already given up on him.
"Then you dare to come back?" Wen Shanggao asked again.
"You should know that it is impossible for me not to come back. Even if I do not want to come back, hatred will come to me one day. You know the rules very well."
"Well, I know." Wen Shanggao finished drinking a cup of tea, put the cup on the glass table in front of him, and kept playing.
He thought about it and said, "I thought about what would happen when there was only one apostle left in the world. Maybe the world just collapsed like this, and all the people were gone, or maybe the world would return to peace. , without the zombies, without the apostles, everything is back on track."
"You want the latter?" Hao Jian asked.
Wen Shanggao smiled but said, "Whether it's the collapse of the world or the return to the right track, it's already a relatively good ending. After all, we can't feel the pain in the former, and the latter can bring us surprises. The world will become their playground, and then the battle of the apostles will begin again..."
"Do you only want to understand this question now?" Hao Jian thought that Wen Shanggao had already prepared for this when he made his choice.
"I have always understood, but my heart will be more inclined to the future we want."
"Then Chairman Wen came here today because he wanted to..."
Wen Shanggao stopped talking to her and went straight to the topic: "Tucker appeared, and Ji Chang and Zhong Qingming appeared together, you be careful."
"Where are Wei Guojia, Le Yan and Kelly?"
Wen Shanggao's eyes were deep: "I let Kelly go, and now I think I'm chasing other apostles."
Hao Jian was not surprised, because Wen Shanggao would not just lay a chess piece. Kelly's ferocity, Wei Guojia's foresight, Leyan's pure perseverance, and even her prudence were all available to Wen Shanggao. piece.
Hao Jian refilled Wen Shanggao another cup of tea, and then said, "Chairman Wen, have you ever thought that you think you are sober, abandoned and independent, but in fact you are also in this mountain, and you also follow the rules. result?"
"I thought about it, but how to prove that I am not lucid dreaming is difficult. Even if I know that I am lucid dreaming, it is still difficult to wake up. So instead of doing nothing, it is better to follow this Dream, want to see how it will develop in the end."
"Even if this dream gets longer and longer, it gets deeper and deeper, and it may not wake up, doesn't it matter?"
"So I need someone who can wake me up, but unfortunately you don't want to."
Hao Jian laughed: "Don't be joking, I'm still in a dream, how can I wake you up?"
Even if she had a way to wake up, the central processing terminal system would not be happy for such a thing to happen.
"There will always be a way." Wen Shanggao didn't say much.
In fact, he has always had a few crazy plans in his heart, because Lian Runing once said that the world exists because of the apostles, and he also sent people with the highest IQs to analyze what this theory is based on. to support.
The results were analyzed from the apostles, because why these apostles were chosen is almost random, and they have nothing in common with even many of them. So someone ventured to speculate: "What if they weren't chosen?"
A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
These gathered geniuses have carried out various research and analysis on this, and finally came to an astonishing conclusion - if those apostles are not chosen, but they already exist, so the construction of the world has to center on them !
So when Wen Shanggao realized the deep meaning behind what Lian Runing said, he was a little unwilling. But then he discovered through experiments on Liao Yin, Zeng Jianxiong and others that most of the apostles were not even aware of their own existence, and once they were informed, they would also be obliterated.
But he and Lian Runing both knew about it, so why wouldn't he be obliterated
Is it because they are NPCs and won't be noticed by the world
If so, and all the apostles disappeared, will the world return to normal
After such an idea came out, Wen Shanggao really wanted to order all the apostles to be killed. But he was a little uncertain, because the idea of "the world exists because of the apostles" was still rooted in his mind, and he was afraid that after all the apostles disappeared, the world would really disappear.
Although after the world disappears, he will not feel anything as an NPC, but he is not reconciled. He is not reconciled to being a life, why should his fate be controlled by others and played with!
"These days, go to the island for a vacation!" Wen Shanggao said again.
Hao Jian was stunned for a moment, and then she understood what he meant. She smiled: "Chairman Wen, it's boring for you to do this. This is the hardship I'm going to go through, how can I avoid it?"
Wen Shanggao hoped that she would go to a safe island to hide, so that the apostles outside would kill each other, maybe in the end, she would be the fisherman who profited.
Therefore, Wen Shanggao never gave up on her from the beginning, but he showed that he attached great importance to Wei Guojia and Le Yan, and even cultivated Kelly secretly, the purpose of which was only to let them go out to deal with other apostles. And the "abandoned" Hao Jian is wandering around outside, it is difficult for others to track her down, and she will counter it, which is more conducive to her survival.
Wen Shanggao didn't give her a chance to refuse, and the next day she was sent to an isolated island by the ship. She glanced at the map and felt that she was sent to an island in the south.
However, there are no people on this island, there are fleets patrolling around, there are small houses, watchtowers, and supplies on the island, so she doesn't need to go through the island to survive.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that I would be imprisoned one day." Hao Jian lay on the beach, drinking coconut milk.
"I see that you are not very happy?!" A voice sounded beside him.
Hao Jian jumped up, ran towards the visitor and hugged him. He didn't say anything, but he had to turn around happily, so happy that he practiced Ru Ning and kept shouting, "What are you pretending to be a surprise? You already knew that I was here. , let me down!"
Hao Jian kissed her and said with a smile, "How come, I only know that someone is here, but I don't know it's you..."
Yes, not only Lian Ruming came, but also several faces she was familiar with: You Xiaoxiao, Lian Rumeng and Hao Zuo.
"What? Chairman Wen is sitting in a row?" Hao Jian asked with a smile.
"We came voluntarily!" Lian Runing said, "I can't worry about you alone, so I took the initiative to apply to him. Although he said that for your safety, you can't go back when you come, lest anyone ask us from us. to your whereabouts, but I didn't want to be separated from you."
"What about you?" Hao Jian looked at the other three again.
"He said he was worried that someone would use me to force you to appear, so he threw me over too. I didn't want to come over at all." Hao Zuo muttered, but he kept looking around, obviously very interested in this place.
"My dad took my mother and Ruji to the maritime security base. Considering that you may need someone to protect you, Xiaoxiao came over, and I followed." Lian Rumeng said.
"Shi Gongzhui can't come here because he needs those high-tech equipment around him, but once he comes over, others can track him here. And Peng Mao and Xin Ting, they were not allowed to come." You Xiao Akatsuki explained a little.
"Okay, you can find a place to live by yourself. I'll talk to my junior sister about love first." Hao Jian waved his hand indifferently.
"...Damn, you have no conscience!" You Xiaoxiao squeezed out a foul language, angrily dragged Lian Rumeng to find a place to live, then changed into tropical clothes, and was excited to explore the island.
Hao Zuo looked at Hao Jian, then at the two who were going to explore, and decided to hang out with them.
After the three left, Hao Jian took Lian Runing and sat down on the clean beach.
Lian Runing told Hao Jian what happened on land in the days when she was taken away, such as the death of the Apostles Association, and the obvious changes in the actions of zombies, that is, they would give priority to attacking apostles compared to ordinary people. …
But what she didn't say was that Wen Shanggao's hiding Hao Jian might have violated the rules, so it was obviously a very secret matter, but the official knew about it and put pressure on him.
However, at this time, Wen Shanggao was very sure that he was awake, because all the NPCs have always been pawns in the world to push the apostles to compete, but he did not expect that one day, the pawns would not listen to it.
So when it would never give the apostle a chance to hide, Wen Shanggao did so, and he also used the pieces in his hand to compete with the pieces under the rules.
On the one hand, he let Le Yan, Kelly, etc. do things that conform to the rules, and on the other hand, he isolates Hao Jian from the struggle. This is inherently contradictory, and these contradictory measures happen to make the rules of the world helpless.
Lian Runing didn't say it, but Hao Jian could guess it. She said: "For the central processing system, this kind of behavior itself is 'cheating', so I think it will use various means to force me. The purpose of having to go back to that battlefield. And this place is not absolutely safe, for some high-level apostles who can get ships, they can use their authority to find this place.”
"That-"
Hao Jian knew what she wanted to say, "Come on when you come, just treat this as the ring, and I'll just keep the ring."
