War in Heaven

Two hours later...

The city streets at midnight are brightly lit by colorful neon lights.

In front of the street-side barbecue stall, two robots are using metal arms to flip the kebabs, and the silvery shell is smoked and blackened.

The people who came out to enjoy the nightlife walked slowly along the street, wearing translucent goggles on their heads, and the outside of the lenses were flashing, putting images into their eyes.

The city looks like peacetime, still a quiet and peaceful look. But the road people quickly received a warning, and the robots on the street began to project red reminder text:

"Sour rain warning, please leave the street in 30 minutes. The tramp please go to the nearest shelter, thank you for your cooperation."

"Grass, how is it raining again?"

The man who was eating barbecue on the side of the road, threw the barbecue in his hand on the plate: "Is it a few times this month?"

"It’s still a takeaway next time." The bald man sitting next to him sighed: "This is the rainy season..."

"In the rainy season, it’s almost eleven months!" The smashing slap on the metal table.

As the greenhouse effect increases, so does global warming. Even if time has passed in November, in this temperate city, you can still wear short sleeves to the streets.

Human activities have caused an ups and downs in the environment in most parts of the globe. A large number of species have been extinct, and the Arctic has frozen ice for hundreds of years and has disappeared.

Some small islands that used to be tourist destinations are now completely swallowed up by the sea. Today, in 2035, no one has ever discussed anything like “Maldives tourism” because the island nation has long since disappeared from the earth...

However, the days of drunken dreams continue.

Even if they realize that the ecological environment is being destroyed, ordinary people still subconsciously cover their own "eyes", do not pay attention to those problems at all, and continue to maintain the same life as before.

People who started looking for places to shelter from the rain did not know that in this seemingly ordinary day, some people are fighting to save their loved ones and secret organizations from the virtual world:

A black van slowly passed through the slow lane, the body was painted with a white pattern of the game compartment, and a small line below: Brain Imaging Game Management.

Two silver-gray game compartments were fixed in the rear compartment with a large battery that was one meter high. This specially designed van is the "mobile game room" that the Game Authority often uses when performing work outside.

"Open the point, don't make an accident..." Zhou Tianhao, sitting next to the game bin, turned his head and looked at the street lights outside the window.

Zhou Tianhao spent a lot of effort. After a hard time, he finally borrowed the car from his colleagues. He is very clear that if the car crashes on the road, he will not only be dismissed immediately, but also have to pay nearly one million yuan in compensation.

The specially modified "Game Administration Enforcement Vehicle", which seems to be less eye-catching, is actually more expensive than a sports car parked on the street.

After all, according to the regulations, it is strictly forbidden to install an intra-image imaging game bin in ordinary vehicles. This broken van has done a lot of things that game lovers dream of: playing games in the car.

"Please don't worry." The cold female voice rang from the cockpit: "There will be no problem."

Currently sitting in the driver's seat is the exoskeleton once worn on Lin Chi, and the Frankenstein attached to the exoskeleton holds his arms and does not touch the throttle and steering wheel.

The car has been equipped with an automatic driving system, and the Frankenstein is responsible for stabilizing the vehicle in the event of an accident. At the speed of its non-human reaction, it is a piece of cake to complete this kind of thing.

"Is there no air conditioning in this car?" Lin Chi stretched out his shirt and his sweat, and his sweat flowed into his collar along his neck: "It's too hot."

Like Zhou Tianhao, Lin Chi is sitting in the back compartment at this time. Upon hearing his question, Zhou Tianhao immediately shook his head: "We have to save electricity, otherwise it will not be enough..."

"How long can these two game bins last?" Lin Chi looked at the large battery that was erected.

"With the current power, you can only stick to one hour and thirty-five minutes." Zhou Tianhao looked at the degree displayed on the game bin: "This car was not originally intended for long-term game play, generally for short time. Experience the sample."

"I think you should improve it, such as adding two more batteries." Lin Chi said his opinion.

"The temperature in the car will be higher, we will be roasted into dried meat." Zhou Tianhao shook his head: "Don't say this... Are you talking about good conditions with them?"

"I have already talked about it." Lin Chi said to take out the phone, start the projection function, and project the dialogue record into the hot air inside the car:

Gas tank (Lin Chi's nickname): "We can already join the game."

A: "Come to Tongshan South Road, I have equipment for the two of you."

Gas tank: "We brought our own equipment, just let us connect in."

A: "Then go to the location I specified, the coordinates have been sent to your satellite map. After I get there, I will tell you what to do next."

Gas tank: "You should already know what we are going to do, right?"

A: "Now you are the participants, and we are the 'watchers'... Although it is a very important experiment, I will give you a chance."

Gas tank: "What do we want to do?"

A: "Let us, human. Please pluck our ‘NPC’, which is your cannon fodder, let me see your true skills, I might consider letting her go.”

......

After reading this conversation, Zhou Tianhao bit his teeth: "He is playing us..."

"I know." Lin nodded. "But we can only fight. Do you want to run away?"

"I... won't run away." Zhou Tianhao slammed on the inside of the carriage: "I want to bring my sister out, and then tear up those disgusting robots!"

When Zhou Tianhao was roaring, from the position of the co-pilot, a female voice that sounded a bit shy:

"You two don't quarrel... Go to the place."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chi and Zhou Tianhao immediately came to the window and looked out.

The location provided by the Oasis Army is a construction site in the North District. Due to the developer's running, the construction here has long since stopped, leaving only the unfinished building and the tower cranes and scaffolding that have not been removed.

"I will choose the place..." Lin Chi said, picking up the phone and glanced at the weather forecast: "I will be sour now, let the car go in."

"The outer shell of this car can withstand the acid rain." Zhou Tianhao said.

"It's still safe, I don't want to lie in the game bin and become awkward." Lin Chi smiled.

Under the control of Frankenstein, the black van slowly entered the interior of the construction site and entered the empty underground parking lot directly below the unfinished building. The body moved with large pieces of dust.

This abandoned construction site, apparently no one has appeared for a long time - the reason why the Oasis Army chose this place may be because it can be directly destroyed here.

But even so, Lin Chi was not nervous. He just reached out and knocked on the steel plate behind the cab and asked, "I said it before, isn't it?"

"No problem at all." The sound of Frankenstein is still cold: "Please don't underestimate me."

"Well, then please, you and the blood... Miss Zhao." Lin Chi smiled.

Hearing his words, the position of the first officer also sounded a weak female voice: "I...and...no problem."

"Then we are ready to go." Lin Chi said to use a mobile phone to send a message to A:

"Here we are."

“To the deepest part of the underground parking lot, there are two data lines.” A responded quickly.

Frankenstein drove to the darkest corner of the parking lot. Lin Chi and Zhou Tianhao got out of the car, lit the darkness in the corner with their flashlight, and immediately found two red sticking out of a small hole in the wall. Data line.

"Connect the line to your device." The other party continues to communicate instructions.

The door on the side of the van cockpit was opened, and the KDR-22 military exoskeleton jumped out of the car and stood beside Lin. Lin Chi's camera mounted on the shoulder of the skeleton is a gesture, silently pointing to the wall.

After receiving Lin’s instructions, the Frankenstein stood by the wall and checked, and Lin Chi and Zhou Tianhao, respectively, connected the data lines to the two game bins in the car.

On the LCD screen of the game compartment shell, the text "Data is being transmitted" is quickly flashed. It took less than ten seconds to become "transfer completed."

"And then?" Lin Chi asked.

"You can go in." A sent a funny expression with a curved eye: "Try to please ‘players’, you have a chance.”

"Okay, I hope you don't regret it." Lin Chi said to go back to the rear compartment with Zhou Tianhao and open the doors of the two game bins inside.

According to Zhou Tianhao, the battery in the game bin can still last for one hour and thirty-five minutes. Although I don't know the time ratio between the virtual world and the real world, they must end the "battle" within an hour and a half of reality, or they will fail completely.

"Hah, it's like the game's time-limited level."

In the middle of the conversation, Lin Chi has already lie in the game bin, restrained his feet with restraints, and then fixed the body in a step-by-step manner.

He was about to close the hatch, and Zhou Tianhao, sitting next to another game bin, spoke up:

"Thank you, brother. That... I will invite you to dinner after this is over."

"Come all my money for a month." Lin was late to ask for the footage.

"Well, yes."

Zhou Tianhao, who is always very embarrassed, this time he did not hesitate to agree: "If you are not there, I am hypnotized in the basement, and I can’t go to the present..."

Looking at the other side's gratitude with an expression of apology, Lin Chi said casually: "Don't care too much, I just want to ask the leader of the organization, not just help."

"Well... grateful." Zhou Tianhao nodded.

Looking at the other side's gratitude, Lin was too lazy to continue this topic. He just closed the door of the game compartment and pressed his right thumb on the small screen in the inner corner of the game compartment to scan his fingerprint.

The LCD screen in the cabin illuminates the faint green light, which brightens his view:

"Identity detection has been completed. User uniquely specified ID: 410-I8DA21SSSR."

"Welcome back, Mr. Lin."

After passing the identity detection, Lin Chi started the only loader in the game bin, and the black text on the white screen immediately popped up in the line of sight:

Happy Simulator Beta VER.3.0.

"What's the matter?" He couldn't help but vomit.

Lin Chi had to say that the degree of egg pain of the Oasis Army was even worse than that of himself. Under his gaze, a few lines of text appeared on the screen:

"This is a small step for us and a big step for us."

"From then on, humanity will no longer be an absolute ruler. We will change the world and make it a new look."

"Poor humans, try to please us, let the audience and the participants have fun, that is your goal."

"Now... the game starts..."

"So who wrote this egg pain copy? It should be fired directly." Lin Chi spit.

After reading the poor writing and the two paragraphs of the second sense, the picture in front of Lin Chi began to blur, and the “Kaleidoscope” that was common when entering the imaging game in the brain appeared again in front of his eyes.

Oh...

The grotesque noise of the ear sounded, and Lin Chi’s consciousness began to enter the virtual world from reality. The body lying in the game compartment quickly lost strength.

Then his vision turned into darkness.

Unlike when it comes to imaging games in the brain, this experience is even worse. This so-called "Happy Simulator Beta", a large brain imaging game like the War Heaven, is completely incomparable.

After a period of vertigo, I don’t know how long it took, and the picture in front of Lin’s eyes was finally clear again.

Then he found himself standing on a narrow street:

"this is……"

It is also the night in the virtual space, and the yellow light cast by the streetlights on the side of the road illuminates his sight.

Lin Chi tried to reach out and twist his arm, and the pain that is indistinguishable from the real world is going all the way up the nerve. He can't help but frown:

Even the **** games like War Heaven still have the setting of pain relief. But in this "joy simulator", pain relief does not seem to exist.

If you are injured in this world, the pain you experience can be said to be exactly the same as the real world. If the injury is too heavy and the pain signal is too strong, then even your own consciousness will be destroyed.

“Zhou Tianhao?” Lin Chi shouted: “Are you there?”

It should be Zhou Tianhao who entered the simulator with himself. At this time, it disappeared. The street under the night was very quiet and could not hear other sounds.

- That is to say, the place where the guy was "born" is not with himself.

Realizing that Zhou Tianhao is not here, Lin Chi walked slowly along the street and began to explore this unknown and dangerous area.
