Player Reload

Li Sheng put away the corridor of bones and took a step towards the back door. All the movable mechanical arms immediately responded, transforming into various weapons and eager to try.

"Be careful." Little Red Riding Hood warned nervously, her hands clenching the knife full of sweat.

Jin Huiying also had a tense face, wanting to dissuade Li Sheng from moving. When the reality show first started, it was mentioned on the radio that the show aimed to set a normal example of love for the vast number of young men and women in the wasteland.

The role models here should refer to a heterosexual man and a woman. After all, there is a lot of waste in the wasteland, and there is probably no hospital to establish a sperm bank or perform in vitro fertilization surgery. In order to ensure the survival of the population, heterosexuality must also be promoted.

Now there is only one boy and two girls left on the field. If Xingying dies, can the show still go on?

Buzz——

The mechanical arm that turned into a chainsaw quickly rotated the metal chain, making a threatening noise. The other robotic arm becomes a breaker for rock cutting, aiming with the assistance of the fire control system.

"During the program, I had a doubt."

Li Sheng carried the rusty broadsword and continued to pace towards the back door, "The concept of 'old humanity' was mentioned on the barrage, specifically referring to all the contestants participating in the reality show. And corresponding to the old humanity, naturally it is the new Humanity. The question is what distinguishes the old from the new.”

"Appearance? No, the narration mentioned that there have been programs such as "That Ghoul Makes Me Love So Much" and "Two-Headed Mutant Sisters Who Should I Choose?". At the same time, the barrage really believed that the contestants were all Handsome men and beautiful women. In other words, even in the wasteland world outside, people’s aesthetics have only become more diverse, and they have not strayed anywhere.”

Li Sheng stroked his handsome cheek with his fingers, suddenly protruded his chin, raised his eyes, a sickly twisted smile appeared on his face, and put his hands in front of him in a grasping shape,

"With my handsome face and evil smile, I still don't have to spend money to eat anywhere. Hehehehehehahahaha."

Don't think that I can't see your beauty in the cospaly city. How can this be evil and crazy? Do you believe that you are a serial murderer who just escaped from a mental hospital? !

Jin Huiying wanted to complain loudly, but she still held back. He couldn't help but glance at Little Red Riding Hood next to him, the meaning in his eyes was obvious, "You know him, right? What does this person do in reality?" ’

‘I don’t know, maybe, should, probably, maybe it’s the great detective’

Not mentioning the two people who made eye contact, Li Sheng continued his analysis: "There are no obvious traces of mutation among the eight contestants. The barrage mentioned "Is this the old human race?", that is to say, the audience Able to distinguish old and new humans based solely on certain characteristics of their appearance.

For example, whether the body surface changes or not.

New humans may have three eyes? Or four arms, a second head, octopus tentacles, or something like that. "

The broadcast system, which had been silent and not interacting with the players, finally asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

"this."

Li Sheng snapped his fingers and took out the empty Nuka-Cola bottle he had found in the refrigerator in the villa. The ingredient list on the bottle was significantly different from Coke in the real world.

"Water, sugar, and fructose are all fine. The problem lies in strontium isotopes and dimethyl sulfoxide."

Li Sheng raised the machete horizontally and placed the empty bottle in the shadow under the blade. The inner wall of the bottle immediately lit up with a red light. "The compound of the strontium element has good fluorescent properties and usually emits red light, but under certain conditions it can also It can emit orange, yellow, green and other colors of light and can be used to make fluorescent powder, fluorescent lamps, fluorescent screens, and fluorescent dyes.

Dimethyl sulfoxide DMSO is a polar aprotic solvent and is known as a universal solvent. Not only can it be used in the chemical industry, but it can also help drugs penetrate into the human body through the skin by virtue of its solubility and permeability. No need to take it orally or by injection.

Its effect is so good that special care must be taken when using it to prevent DMSO from bringing some substances that cannot be absorbed by the organism into the cell membrane. cause some damages.

Of course, the so-called harm is to old humans. For the new humans targeted by Nuka-Cola, DMSO can substitute strontium isotopes into cell membranes, causing the user's entire body to fluoresce. It just corresponds to the so-called Nuka-Cola Quantum flavor. "

Li Sheng put the Coke aside and said casually: "For the new humans, Nuka-Cola is drunk as a drink, but for the old humans, it is poison. Therefore, all the Coke bottles in the refrigerator are empty to prevent the contestants from getting brainstormed. Go drink it.

And this raises a new question. Not only are there significant differences in surface characteristics between old and new humans, there must also be huge differences in the internal structure of the body.

Why did the program team specially summon eight old humans to perform for a group of new humans? "

"." The broadcast device did not answer this question.

Jin Huiying hesitated and said: "For fun?"

Real-world video website platforms, such as YouTube, Bilibili, TikTok, Douyin Kuaishou, etc., also have some bizarre content in the eyes of ordinary people.

For example, the gooey delicacies made by Indian street stalls (the stall owners go barefoot without washing their hands, and flies are flying around), and the exotic foods of Southeast Asia (caterpillars, snail egg omelets, and fried toads)

Watching these contents can not only satisfy the desire for novelty, but also create a subtle sense of superiority. Just like some weird and prank variety shows.

"Probably not." Little Red Riding Hood shook her head. Although she didn't know what was happening in the wasteland outside, she intuitively felt that the original intention of this show was not to simply criticize ugliness.

Li Sheng strode out of the back door. The mechanical arm in the villa immediately swept across and swung, and the chainsaw roared and cut into his waist.

Zheng!

Li Sheng turned around suddenly, and the sword as thick as a door panel rubbed violently against the chainsaw chain, causing dazzling sparks to burst out.

A gust of cold wind blew inexplicably from above his head, and the cone-shaped engineering breaker transformed into a mechanical arm floated to Li Sheng's head and smashed straight down.

Death curse torrent!

The bone arm guard on Li Sheng's left hand sprayed out high-pressure water, and the impact force pushed him back, narrowly avoiding the breaker. At the same time, turn on the fog concealment technique.

The heavy fog immediately spread with Li Sheng as the center, covering the open space outside the villa like gauze and cloth.

A mechanical arm immediately transformed into an infrared night vision device and scanned the dense fog. However, the effects of the fog concealment technique include weakening the user's voice, heat reflection, and sense of presence. The night vision goggles couldn't detect his figure at all.

"I see,"

Li Sheng's voice came faintly from the thick fog. He stepped and kicked the ground, "The surface of the open space outside the villa is coated with a special layer of black paint. It may be some kind of water-based acrylic paint? It can strongly absorb all kinds of visible light." That's why it's so difficult to see the outside world clearly in the villa.

Not only the open space, but also the walls and roof of the spherical studio that covers the villa are coated with this paint and installed with sound-absorbing cotton. "

In the face of provocation, the robotic arm in the villa no longer adhered to the shape of a melee weapon. It reassembled and spliced ​​into a large meteor hammer for demolition, and swung it towards the thick fog.

"Haha, you did not transform into a more efficient thermal weapon such as a minigun or a tank main gun, but instead assembled it into a meteor hammer. Such a reaction further supports my suspicion."

Li Shengfeng's light voice came from the thick fog, "It's not that I can't, but that I don't want to.

They are unwilling to destroy the studio and let the contestants see the truth of the outside world. "

He walked across the pitted ground and saw human body fragments blown to pieces by cloud blast bombs.

(It could be Leonardo, or it could be Will. Because the meat was burnt black, I couldn’t tell whether it was black or white. Anyway, they are all acquaintances)

And among the broken pieces, he picked up a small part of the broken metal chain.

[Damaged chain of betrayal and revenge]

After the owner dies, the equipment and props return to an ownerless state, and the item description clearly appears in the line of sight.

"The effect of this chain is to automatically find and attack the nearest hostile target after the death of the host, Will. Its immediate attack on Leonardo is enough to prove that there is no mutant beast outside the villa. Contestant The terrifying screams I heard in the villa before were all disguised to keep us in the villa peacefully."

Putting down the broken chain, Li Sheng clapped his hands and brushed off the dust on his hands, "Come here, you two."
