Chapter 394 Virtual World Collapse
Obviously, by the time this scene appeared in front of these players, it was already too late.
The moment the meteorites composed of these data touched the ground, the buildings on the ground were instantly disintegrated, just like the building blocks that a child had just built were hit by a big iron ball.
Those players were the most unlucky. They soon found that everything around them was decomposing, including their own bodies.
Their bodies and minds were like being injected with the maximum dose of anesthetic and began to become confused and sluggish.
At the last moment, they frantically wanted to escape from this virtual world, but found that the virtual world had begun to decompose itself and could no longer allow players to log off on their own.
Under such circumstances, the earth in the entire virtual world collapsed like a rapidly rotten apple!
This stage lasted for half an hour, and countless players in the virtual world were buried here forever.
In the real world, their bodies twitched and they fell into a permanent coma, becoming the living dead in the eyes of the hospital.
There were also some players who escaped at the last moment when the virtual world collapsed, but their brain consciousness was affected to varying degrees.
Those who were luckier among them only felt a splitting headache, while some of the unlucky ones fell directly into a crazy mental state and scared the people around them.
Their eyes were filled with fear, their speech was incoherent, and they looked completely different.
This time, the devastating accident in the virtual world will be forever recorded in the major events of the earth.
On the other side of the real world, at the base of the Global Alliance, Zhang Hao and the personnel participating in the mission slowly woke up.
During the huge explosion in the virtual world, Zhang Hao and Ace used their vast and powerful thoughts to protect all the personnel and ensure their safe evacuation.
Zhang Hao and his friends had just woken up from the game cabin, and Zheng Guoqi, who was on guard nearby, hurried over. The entire Global Alliance base had become a mess!
"Zhang Hao! Quick! Let's go to the conference room! This is truly a global disaster!"
Zhang Hao said nothing more and followed Zheng Guoqi to the meeting room.
Representatives from various countries in the conference room have gone crazy. Their countries are in an uproar, and even the president called personally to inquire about the situation!
"Zhang Hao, what is going on?"
"Zhang Hao, what on earth happened in the virtual world? Not long after you asked us to dismiss the players, such a disaster happened!"
"The casualties are still being counted. New York alone has received thousands of 911 calls for help! The content is all the same. Their sons, fathers, or other friends have all become living dead!" Wilson said anxiously.
Zhang Hao frowned, the situation looked terrible.
These players who have become the living dead are probably sentenced to an alternative death and will never wake up again.
Because their consciousness was forever shattered in the virtual world.
Even if Ace worked hard with him, they would not be able to reconstruct the fragments of these people's consciousness in the collapsed virtual world.
"How is Operation Winter Breaking going?" Zhang Hao asked this question first.
When Operation Winter Breaking was mentioned, these people's faces looked slightly relieved.
Wilson replied, "Very successful. Zeus's secret base in the Arctic Circle has been successfully breached. All those involved in the transportation chain have been arrested. At the same time, we have also captured Tanaka Kame."
"Has Tanaka Kame also been caught?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise. He thought that the old guy Tanaka Kame would be very cautious, and even if Zeus found out that something was wrong, he would notify the other party in time.
But now Tanaka Kame has been captured by the Global Alliance, which means that Tanaka Kame either did not receive the news, or Zeus has completely given up on him.
Giving up on Kame Tanaka would mean that Zeus would have no plans to continue his plans on Earth.
"Well, this guy was having dinner with officers on the naval fleet when we took action."
Speaking of this, Wilton seemed indignant, probably because he was deeply distressed by the corruption of the fleet involved.
Takahashi Ryoken came over and said, "All the arrested people, except those from the army, are detained here. Do you need to see them?" Zhang Hao shook his head. It would be fine as long as these people were arrested. Besides, in the current situation, there was no need to get anything out of them.
"What happened in the virtual world and why did this happen today?" What Wilson really cares about is what happened in the virtual world.
"Yes, how is your operation to the moon in the virtual world going?" Takahashi Ryoken asked worriedly, because the problems that occurred in the real world made him vaguely feel that Zhang Hao and his team's operation had failed.
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly and said, "It should be considered a success, but in the end, Zeus still escaped."
Kisame Nana said angrily, "Zeus destroyed the virtual world at the last moment, which is why many people in the real world are like this today." Wilson asked puzzledly, "Why did Zeus destroy the virtual world? His plans on Earth, including the Church of Light, were all laid out through the virtual world, right?"
Takahashi Ryoken also asked: "So, have the hostages been rescued?"
Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly and said, "We didn't expect Zeus to destroy the virtual world. The situation was urgent at the time and we didn't have time to rescue the hostages."
"Alas~" Takahashi Ryoken sighed.
"Hmph, these guys are not... Never mind, I won't say anymore." Wilson obviously didn't care that these cult hostages were not rescued.
Because the main purpose of Zhang Hao and his team's actions this time is to cooperate with the Winter Breaking Operation in the real world and rescue the hostages.
Now Operation Winterbreaking has been a complete success and its main objective has been achieved.
"Zhang Hao, why would Zeus destroy the virtual world? You must give us an answer. This incident has caused such a big stir, the number of deaths in disguise is estimated to be comparable to a global plague!"
Representatives of some countries were overwhelmed by the troubles happening in their own country, and suddenly wanted to shift the blame to Zhang Hao.
Kisame Nana looked at these people angrily and shouted, "It wasn't long ago that the incident with the Tanaka Group happened. You guys didn't manage the virtual world well enough, and now you're blaming us?"
"Besides, when Zeus took action, we had already warned the entire virtual world in advance and asked you to take necessary measures!"
The regional representatives who were being confronted opened their mouths slightly, snorted, and chose not to continue arguing.
Takahashi Ryoken tried to smooth things over by saying, "This happened because we are becoming more and more dependent on the virtual world and less vigilant. This incident has also sounded a wake-up call for us."
The virtual world has just appeared in the form of VR games. In the beginning, only game players were addicted to it. In the end, civil organizations and government agencies also benefited from its convenience and let the virtual world run wild.
This has led to the current situation!
Zhang Hao changed the subject. He didn't want to waste time arguing with the representatives of these regions on this issue.
He said: "As for why Zeus wanted to destroy the virtual world, I kept thinking about it on the way back."
