With the USB drive in hand and a flickering gaze, numerous thoughts flooded his mind.
He had also donned a game helmet.
After following the standard login procedure, the game interface unfolded before his eyes.
Looking down at himself, he realized something instantly.
He had respawned in the safe zone, his body stripped clean of any equipment, not a single piece remaining.
It seemed the massive explosion he, Winter Melon, and Kelp had witnessed had indeed occurred, and it had affected him as well.
It must have been that explosion that sent him back to this laboratory he had set as his safe zone.
"Beep beep beep..."
A message from a friend arrived.
Winter Melon and Kelp said in the group chat,
"Ah man, I got killed and respawned back at the Salvation Angels' space station."
"Me too. I lost half my experience."
Cucumber Slice wasn't in the mood to chat.
He called out in his mind,
"GM, are you there?"
