Volume 1 Clone Army Chapter 1 Awakening in the Future
"What's wrong with me..." Li Jiu murmured. After being unconscious for an unknown period of time, he finally regained consciousness.
I still feel a little dizzy, and my memory is still stuck on the last moment, when I played "Cross Fire" in the Internet cafe and got nine kills in a row...
Li Jiu is 20 years old, 1.8 meters tall, with a neat crew cut, and looks quite sunny and handsome. He was originally a student at a domestic university. On the weekend, he went to an Internet cafe with a few classmates to spend the night.
That night, he was playing Cross Fire.
I was in pretty good shape at the time. The map was a transport ship, and within a minute of entering the room, I got nine kills in a row.
When playing CrossFire, he is a stream-of-consciousness player. His shooting skills are not very sharp, but with his extraordinary awareness, he can often kill people. Many times, he will even be regarded as a cheater and kicked out of the room.
But who would have thought that just when he was having a blast killing people, he suddenly fell into a coma for no apparent reason...
"My head... hurts so much." After thinking about what happened before he fell into a coma for a while, Li Jiu felt a tearing pain in his head again.
I felt like I was lying somewhere, feeling cold all over, and it seemed like I was still naked.
"Huh? Why do I feel... like someone is touching me..." Li Jiu said in surprise, as if someone was touching him all over.
"What's going on? Am I dreaming?" Li Jiu wondered.
"No!" But just when he was feeling very confused, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.
This feeling is too real, it definitely can't be just a dream!
Thinking of this, Li Jiu felt like a bucket of cold water was poured over his head and he sobered up instantly.
"Ah! You are..." He suddenly opened his eyes and was stunned by the figure he saw.
"Fox Hunter!"
Next to him stood a graceful girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a somewhat cold expression.
She was wearing a brown military uniform and had short black hair. Her facial features were delicate and almost perfect, her skin was fair and delicate, and there was a compelling heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She looked heroic and dashing.
If young people who have played "Cross Fire" see her, they will definitely call out the name of the female game character, Fox Hunter, at the first moment.
The girl glanced at Li Jiu who suddenly woke up. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as deep as a cold pond. She said in a cold voice: "Fox Hunter? That's not my name. My name is Kaqi. I graduated from the Fox Hunter Women's Special Operations Battalion. I am now the captain of the Fifth Squad of the Night Rose Mercenary Group, a sergeant officer, Kaqi."
Although this girl named Kaqi gives people a somewhat cold feeling, her voice is very quiet and pleasant, and sounds very comfortable.
"Kaki?" Li Jiu pondered. This name is not bad. But what are the Night Rose Mercenary Group and the Fox Hunter Women's Special Operations Battalion?
Could it be that I have come to the game world of "Cross Fire"?
"Time travel? No way... this is too bloody..." Li Jiu frowned slightly, muttering to himself, feeling a little depressed.
Many people may want to experience a magical time travel, but Li Jiu is not one of them. Because his original life did not have any miserable experiences, and as a college student who was about to graduate, he even saw the bright prospect of finding a good job after graduation, getting married, having children, and living a happy life.
Besides, I have elderly parents at home who are waiting for me to support them. If really travel through time, what will happen to my parents?
"No, you didn't travel through time. This is the real world. Welcome back, Awakener AUG99!" Hearing Li Jiu's doubts, a rare playful smile appeared on Kaqi's cold face.
"The real world?" Li Jiu was even more confused. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly felt a tingling and refreshing sensation on his body. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Beauty, what are you doing? Don't touch me randomly..."
Only then did he realize that after he woke up, the girl had been touching him all over, and he didn't know what she was doing.
Kaqi's cold face flushed with shyness, and she said coldly: "I'm helping you check your body functions, don't think wrongly!"
"Oh... okay, then you continue..." Li Jiu said honestly, with an inexplicable expectation in his heart.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Kaqi suddenly let go of her hand and said indifferently: "The inspection is complete."
"Ah! That's it..." Li Jiu couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Do you have a lot of questions now?" Kaqi said with her arms crossed over her chest.
"Well, yes." Li Jiu wanted to sit up, but found that his hands and feet seemed to be fixed. He had to nod and answer honestly.
"Wait a moment. I will transfer the memory information to you. Then you will know what is going on." After saying that, Kaqi turned and walked out of Li Jiu's sight.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Jiu tilted his head and looked around.
This was a small room that looked like an operating room, very bright, and he was tied to an operating table.
At this time, the girl Kaqi was operating various instruments next to the operating table.
"Okay, close your eyes." Kaqi adjusted the instrument and gave the order without question.
Li Jiu didn't know what this beautiful woman wanted to do, and he felt a little uneasy, but he still closed his eyes obediently, because he wanted to figure out what was going on today.
"Buzz!" Suddenly, Li Jiu felt a strong electric current running through his temple.
"Ah! It hurts so much..." Then, accompanied by a sharp pain, a series of memory fragments like a tide kept pouring into his mind...
It was unknown how long this pain lasted. When Li Jiu regained consciousness, he understood everything...
It turned out that this was still Earth, but it was not the world he was familiar with.
It is now 2135, and the humans in the world are divided into two camps, the Defender Empire and the Lurker Alliance.
The Lurker Alliance occupies the original territory of China, while the rest of the world is occupied by the Defender Empire.
The two camps had a disagreement over whether to destroy the "God", and a war broke out that engulfed all of humanity...
Speaking of "God", it is a super-intelligence with autonomous consciousness. Before humans were divided into two factions, it dominated the social order of humans around the world.
The outbreak of the war was caused by this super intelligence.
The defenders are a camp that supports the rule of "God". They believe that only under the leadership of "God" can mankind move towards a more glorious future, and therefore they are determined to defend the rule of "God" to the death.
The Lurkers believe that after the "God" accidentally gained independent consciousness, it is no longer suitable to manage the order of the human world. Even that super-intelligent machine has begun to secretly enslave humans. Therefore, the "God" must be completely destroyed, otherwise all mankind will lose their freedom forever.
This war was unprecedentedly brutal. In just two years, more than one billion people had died in the war, and both sides soon ran out of manpower.
So, three years ago, "God" formulated a war plan of "Clone Army" for the defenders, applied the once banned cloning technology to the war, and created a large number of clone warriors.
The emergence of the "Clone Army" put the Lurker Alliance under tremendous pressure. They had no choice but to use the same cloning technology to create a large number of clone warriors.
And Li Jiu is a clone warrior, numbered AUG99!
As for the world he originally lived in, it was just a virtual world constructed by an intelligent system... and here, is the real world.
After being created, clone warriors are usually in a dormant state and will only be awakened when needed. In order to keep the clone warriors' brains active during their sleep and prevent them from dying in their sleep, the Alliance created that virtual world and connected their brains into it.
Since the virtual world is constructed based on real history, the information about the Earth in Li Jiu's memory is still real, but it is a history of more than a hundred years ago...
Li Jiu's current identity is a mercenary of the fifth team of the Night Rose Mercenary Group under the Lurker Alliance.
The captain was the beautiful girl Kachi who had touched his entire body just now...she looked like a fox hunter.
It needs to be emphasized that Li Jiu is not an ordinary clone warrior, his identity is somewhat special... he is an awakened one among the clone warriors!
What is an awakener ? Generally speaking, the clone warriors sleeping in the virtual world will firmly believe that the virtual world is the real world. If they are not summoned from the outside, it is impossible for them to wake up from it!
But among the hundreds of millions of clone warriors, there are still a few exceptions.
For various unknown reasons, they are able to wake up from the virtual world on their own. These clone warriors are called awakeners.
According to the alliance's past experience, almost every awakened person has some special abilities that ordinary people do not possess... With such special abilities, the awakened people can often play a magical role in turning the tide of battle.
"So that's how it is... It was just a dream before, and real life has only officially begun now..." Li Jiu, who knew the truth, couldn't help but ponder.
"Do you understand now?" Seeing that Li Jiu's expression was no longer confused, Kaqi raised the corner of her mouth, but she was a little surprised in her heart. She didn't expect that this guy accepted the real world so quickly.
You know, as far as she knows, most clones need quite a long time to gradually accept the real world after waking up.
"Okay, I understand." Li Jiu nodded, still feeling a little uneasy.
"Well, put on this dress." Kaqi put Li Jiu down from the operating table and threw him a white coat. "I'll take you to see Captain Donna later. We'll sign a formal agreement and you'll be a mercenary of our Night Rose Mercenary Group."
"Yes, OK." Li Jiu responded obediently, then grabbed his clothes, hid in the corner with his naked body, and put them on...
The reason why Li Jiu was so obedient was mainly because after Kaqi instilled the memory information in him, he knew that as a clone warrior "purchased" by the Night Rose Mercenary Group, becoming a mercenary of the Night Rose Mercenary Group was an inevitable result, and he had no right to choose at all...
Since the fact that I have become a mercenary cannot be changed, the only thing I have to consider from now on is how to survive in this war-torn world and live as comfortably as possible...
