Chapter 1: Advent
The earth exploded.
Yang Ming clearly remembered that the earth exploded about half an hour ago.
The sky was filled with surging clouds of fire. I sat in the living room of my hometown, hugging my parents and sister tightly, facing the flames spewing from the cracks in the earth. I fell into the dark abyss of consciousness in the pain of the flames.
'Is this death now?'
Yang Ming felt calm instead.
Television, the Internet, and text messages on mobile phones began to announce three days ago that Earth civilization is about to collapse. Human civilization has entered a countdown. High-energy rays suddenly appeared in the outer solar system and rushed straight to Earth without any hindrance. The technology on Earth is helpless against this, and the order of civilization is rapidly collapsing. (This news source is not a direct detection.)
Human civilization, which had not yet had the chance to leave the earth, was gone just like that.
Before the earth exploded, a rather absurd argument was circulating on the Internet - the earth was attacked by rays because of a virtual perception, space navigation holographic online game called "Abyss".
Yang Ming has been addicted to the game "Abyss" since college. Three months ago, he reached the "Descent of Abyss" plot. The climax of the plot is to use the mother planet base as a bet and call on players around the world to unite to fight against the threat from the "Ninth Scourge" legion.
How can players from all over the world unite?
The main storyline isn't a big deal.
For three months, the various fleets have continued to fight each other, and everyone has tacitly agreed that when the countdown to the expansion pack is over, official "ghost soldiers" will pass through and defeat the powerful NPC fleet.
Exactly three days ago, the main fleet of the Ninth Scourge Legion broke through the outer defense line, arrived near the origin planet of the Earth's humanity, and fired a star destroyer bomb at the origin planet of the Earth's humanity in the game world.
Players around the world were kicked off the game at the same time.
Less than half a day later, the real extraterrestrial satellite detected the high-energy radiation, and human civilization on Earth entered a three-day countdown.
Is it really a coincidence?
Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
During those three days, Yang Ming saw a lot of conspiracy theories and analysis posts, saying that humans are a universal species in the universe, and that the game "Abyss" is a test of civilization given by advanced human civilizations, and that humans on Earth failed and were destroyed.
But Yang Ming really couldn't accept the fallacy that "I blew up the earth by playing games."
But all this is over.
Although Yang Ming could not open his eyes at this moment, he could still recall, think, and feel the existence of his body.
Now it’s probably…
Arrived in heaven? Or fell into hell?
If the previous burning had not been so painful, Yang Ming would have been willing to think it was a dream.
"professor."
Suddenly, I heard the sound of footsteps and a conversation between a man and a woman.
The man was called the Professor, and had a deep, powerful voice;
The woman should be middle-aged and her voice was very gentle.
"Doctor Lina, how is our third mate now?" the man asked.
"Hanton is fine now. All his physical indicators have returned to normal. He just suffered a severe concussion in the head, and there may be some sequelae in the future."
"This poor fellow, he deserves credit for getting rid of the investigation ship that no one cared about. Don't be stingy with the medical resources."
"Don't worry, Professor. I will take good care of Hanton."
Hamton?
A human rights research ship?
What a mess.
Yang Ming tried hard to think, and a series of memory fragments emerged in his mind;
These mottled, illogical images suddenly impacted Yang Ming's brain, and the severe pain caused his entire body to twitch.
Yang Ming reacted immediately.
If he cannot withstand the impact of these memory fragments, he might become a fool and very likely lose his personality called Yang Ming!
He endured the severe pain in his forehead and tried to distract himself, repeatedly recalling his short half-life as Yang Ming.
Finally, the pain began to subside, and the memory images from this body became blurry and docile.
He won.
Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but before he had time to review these extra memories, he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps again.
"what happened to him?"
The professor asked in a deep voice.
"It may be a central nervous system lesion... The problem is worse than we thought. I need to re-examine him."
"Let me see."
Two cold fingers wearing leather gloves parted Yang Ming's eyelids.
What caught my eye was a dazzling light, and in front of the light there was a dark cloud, which was a head poking out from the side.
Yang Ming was shocked.
He has seen this middle-aged man!
The other party's mechanical prosthetic eye that flashed red light and the left half of his face that was directly exposed with mechanical skeleton left a deep impression on Yang Ming.
The dark red scar at the junction of the mechanical skin and the original skin is so disgusting when seen up close.
He, he is...
There was a name that almost came out of Yang Ming's mouth.
Brother Ji!
Oh shit, isn’t this Brother Ji, the hidden BOSS in the level 30 Empire faction epic copy of “Abyss”!
It can reveal rare skills of biochemical professions and core parts of orange equipment for all professions!
His original name seems to be... yes, Kigrove!
This level 30 epic dungeon is called "Voice of the Abandoned".
"Voice of the Forsaken " is the second epic dungeon that players challenge after leaving the mother planet of origin. It was also the most difficult dungeon at the time. Batches of players died at the last level, "Valkyrie", and the progress of the strategy for "Valkyrie" became the hottest topic on the "Abyss" forum at the time.
Oh, that pure, powerful, amazingly fit Valkyrie.
After Yang Ming finished this dungeon, he would go there to guide new players every day just to take a look at the beautiful Valkyrie.
Although within half a month he had fallen in love with someone else and began to linger on the big wave professional instructor of 'Minx Port'...
"Well, this isn't the time to be thinking about this."
The two cold fingers loosened his eyelids, and Yang Ming's vision fell into darkness again. Immediately, someone gently fiddled with Yang Ming's arms and neck and attached some metal sheets.
Yang Ming tried hard to recall all the details of the "Voice of the Abandoned" dungeon. He had played it dozens of times.
The initial introduction of the copy seems to be...
[The border exploration ship discovered a scientific research ship abandoned on the edge of an abandoned resource star. The internal circulation structure of the research ship was not completely destroyed, and there were even signs of life activities in several cabins.
The spacecraft has the emblem of the 'Sherman Empire' on it.
During the subsequent exploration, crazy monsters created by genetic modification were discovered in the spacecraft. They possessed powerful strength that surpassed the limitations of carbon-based organisms. 】
Yang Ming's brain was working rapidly.
At the beginning of the dungeon, you will be guided by a virtual NPC with blond hair and blue eyes wearing a nurse's uniform. During the dungeon, the dungeon plot will introduce the person in charge here - Professor Kigrov;
And gradually lead to the most powerful existence here - the out-of-control Valkyrie.
The research vessel encountered a crisis thirty years ago. The powerful Valkyrie created by genetic experiments escaped from their control, causing a biochemical riot and a massacre of the crew by modified humans.
In order to prevent this Valkyrie with infinite evolutionary possibilities from becoming a nightmare for the empire, Kigrov decided to use non-directional instantaneous jump technology to rush to a black hole near the star road, but the Valkyrie destroyed the power system of the spacecraft and the spacecraft was trapped in this desolate star field.
Yes, this is the background of the "Lost Voice" dungeon!
Genetic modification, war machines, and experiments to explore the boundaries of the power of carbon-based life!
After the player team defeats the Valkyrie, they can continue to explore the plot and lead out the hidden BOSS, that is, 'Ki Ge' Kigrof, who transformed himself into a monster in order to destroy the Valkyrie.
Wait a minute!
Something is not right.
Yang Ming clearly remembered that the hidden BOSS Kigrov in the "Lost Voice" copy was not middle-aged.
He should be a hunchbacked, skinny old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle, messy white hair, and not very clear-headed. He will turn into an ugly tumor monster after swallowing a red pill!
The research ship encountered a crisis thirty years ago...
In other words, I was resurrected in "Abyss", or thirty years ago when the game was launched?
At this moment, the Valkyrie has not yet started a riot. The research ship continues to sail within the territory of the Sherman Empire, conducting evil genetic modification human experiments.
And now I am...
Hanton, one of the three mates on this scientific research ship, is a formal soldier of the Empire with the rank of captain. He has been on this scientific research ship for two years. He is mainly responsible for repairing the hull, solving some technical problems, and maintaining the fire-fighting system.
To put it simply:
【A passerby crew member who is about to be slaughtered. 】
