Chereads / Player One / Chapter 10 - The overturned Noah's Ark

Chapter 10 - The overturned Noah's Ark

After killing her daughter with a gun, the old lady entered the bedroom with the baby in her arms, without saying a word.

Su Ming'an spent the night on the second floor, and there was a family photo on the table.

In the photo, the old grandfather was wearing a Zhongshan suit, the old grandmother was wearing a cheongsam, and the daughter stood between them. The scenery of the ancient town was beautiful, and the mountains and rivers were set off behind them.

They were once very happy.

Su Ming'an sat on the bed, thinking of the record in the Hebrew Bible, Genesis.

"Humanity is deeply sinful, and the Creator is extremely disappointed. The flood came from the sky, and the end of the world came. Only Noah's Ark survived the catastrophe safely."

Rebirth in destruction, a new future, a new civilization, history is a pile of ashes, but there is residual warmth deep in the ashes.

In such a world - Su Ming'an saw such "residual warmth".

The flood-like zombie crisis came to Henggang, but people built their own ark with love and strength. The husband shot himself for his wife, and the mother endured for her child until the last moment.

There are many kinds of emotions in a person's life, anger, sadness, joy, fear, love, friendship, family affection...

People restrain, release, use, and use them to give feedback to everything in their eyes. They are strong, magnificent, quiet, and pure, and use all complex words to do all simple actions.

"As long as humans are infected with the zombie virus, they will become zombies in three days." Xiaohan said: "These three days are the most painful time for humans..."

Su Ming'an leaned on the sofa and didn't speak. His next plan was to hunt zombies nearby, upgrade his level, and finally enter the most critical central hospital.

"Doctor." Xiaohan raised her eyelids, her eyes were full of tears.

"I like humans very much."

"Humans are a shining species. Even when facing the crisis of death, they can still show an extremely dazzling brilliance."

"They are united, they hold hands, they sing before the end of the world, and they fight for peace and sacrifice."

"They... shine. Strong, brave, kind, beautiful, rational and emotional, strong and gentle..."

She held his hand.

"So, you must live."

"I..." Su Ming'an said.

He is just a visitor from another world, a player who will leave after fifteen days of possession. He was not the original Dr. Su Changan at all.

She put the silver pistol in her hand in his hand. Due to the lack of bullets, there was only one bullet in it.

"If one day, anything threatens your safety, please use the bullet inside to shoot," Xiaohan said.

Su Ming'an nodded.

This is a green-level weapon, but unfortunately, it seems that it cannot be taken out of the copy.

On the cold night, Xiaohan left the room and fell asleep across a wall.

The sky was bright.

After spending a night in the tavern, he and Xiaohan said goodbye to the numb old lady.

They walked along the abandoned streets and stepped on the broken bricks and stones. The morning light sprinkled on Xiaohan's hair, like a golden lake.

However, after walking through the block, Xiaohan was stunned.

——What appeared in front of them was the scene of the iron door of the R&D center being broken and blood all over the ground.

"What happened..." Xiaohan rushed in like crazy.

"Jiaojiao, Xiaoke, Luoluo, Zhuoqi——" She called the children's names and walked across the ground full of broken glass and metal pieces.

On the ground were only the bodies of the children.

She stared at a zombie in the corner. It was a tall elite zombie, gnawing on the body of a girl. The girl's pupils were taken away, her fingers were broken, and the biscuits in her hand were scattered on the ground.

The girl's braids were shiny black and smooth like ink. Her eye sockets were empty as if hiding endless doubts and pain.

The girl's name was Lantian. She once wanted to grow up quickly, but she no longer had a future...

"Ka." With a crisp sound, the mutant zombie with blood on his face heard the sound, dropped the girl Lantian's body, stretched out his claws, and pounced on her.

Su Ming'an immediately raised the [Unrusted Iron Rod (White Level)], but a black shadow flashed in front of him, his neck hurt, and blood spurted out of his neck.

… This is a BOSS-level zombie, it destroyed the entire R&D center by itself, and his level has not been raised yet, so he can't beat it.

[You are dead...]

Su Ming'an suffocated for a moment, and there seemed to be buzzing bees around his ears. After death, he rewinded and opened his eyes from the darkness. He just saw the mutant zombie, and the mutant zombie also cast his eyes towards him.

This save time is too pitfall! The time interval is so short...

Besides, doesn't he have two saves? Why did he rewind as soon as he opened his eyes and couldn't choose?

With a "swish!", the mutant zombie suddenly threw down the girl Lan Tian in his hand and pounced on him, who looked more delicious. A gust of cold wind and stench suddenly approached, like a hurricane of rotten meat!

"Bang!" At the critical moment, Su Ming'an raised his hand, and the steel pipe barely blocked the mutant zombie's nails, making an extremely harsh friction sound.

The sharp claws collided with the iron rod, and a numbing hissing sound exploded.

"Doctor! Be careful!"

Xiao Han's eyes turned red, and he pulled out the shovel on his body, like a goddess of strength, and hit the mutant zombie's head hard!

While the zombie's body tilted, Su Ming'an stretched out his hand and hit the zombie's forehead!

[HP-600! (Fatal injury! Penetrating injury!)]

As soon as Annihilation came out, the zombie's head melted like a piece of tofu. When Su Ming'an pulled out his hand, he felt a pain in his arm.

[Kill (mutated zombie), Exp+300]

——The mutant zombie bit him before he died!

Severe pain came, black spread like a python in his arm, and Su Ming'an's vision began to blur.

It was the first time he encountered such a short time node to read the game... and he was still infected when he read the game.

He hesitated for a moment and stabbed his temple with his finger. He wanted to go back to the game, he couldn't be poisoned by this zombie.

The death rollback is a rollback for the whole world, including high-dimensional creatures and viewers, and the timeline will change with his death.

However, when he opened his eyes after death, he still saw the scene of mutant zombies eating the girl Lan Tian. The interval between save points is still so short.

He realized one thing - his save time point will not change. It does not change with the passage of time but is fixed within a period of time.

When some [key plots] occur, the save point will be stuck at the moment of the key plot. No matter how many times he rewinds, he will only return to this point.

"Shua!" The mutant zombie pounced on him again. Su Ming'an barely blocked it and knocked the zombie to death.

"Shua!" His arm twitched in pain, and red blood seeped out. He was scratched again in the battle - and he couldn't stand another rollback.

His mental state was getting worse and worse. If he rolled back again, he might not be able to stop the zombie's first attack and fall into an infinite cycle of death.

Death rollback is not an invincible ability. The pain brought by death is real, and even double vision and auditory hallucinations will appear. This is the mental pain beyond the limit faced by humans.

He looked at his charred arm. The advanced zombie poison was very strong. Without buffer time, he would soon become a zombie.

"Go find a hemostatic bandage." Su Ming'an said softly to Xiaohan. He raised the machete, took a deep breath, and aimed it at his arm.

"Doctor, this is too painful..." Xiaohan said hoarsely.

Surviving with a broken limb... This pain is not something that ordinary people can bear.

But he couldn't just quit like this.

If there is a death rollback, but he still stops at the first-world copy, wouldn't that be too lame?

The white light of pain flashed before his eyes, like rising clouds.

[HP-300! (Broken limb, heavy bleeding)]

Because it is a digitized body, there is no lingering situation. After the system determined that it was a broken arm, Su Ming'an lost control of his left arm.

The blood bottle is priced at 10 points in the store, and it recovers 30 blood every two seconds, for a total of ten seconds. He barely recovered the blood bar that was almost at the bottom.

…Survived.

Su Ming'an bit another blood bottle and poured it into his mouth. He pulled down his sleeves, and his forearm was empty.

[You get the item (Broken Red Nail)]

[Broken Red Nail: It looks like a good forging item. ]

[*You get clue 2: Mushrooms on zombies]

[Mushrooms on zombies: all white, large, with many flower-shaped cracks on the surface of the mushroom cap]

[Get 10 exploration points]

At this time, the bullet screen in the upper right corner has exploded.

[I believe it. Su Ming'an must have been a gangster before the game started. ]

[Broken limbs… so easy… maybe he came directly from the juvenile detention center. He has killed people in real life before. ]

[What profession do you want to play in the future, Brother Mingan? How about a mage? How about lighting and melee combat? ]

[What is his rating for the novice level... Is it really...]

Other players are either hiding in the wilderness or struggling to survive in closed buildings. How can they suddenly kill mutant zombies like Su Ming'an?

If it weren't for the skill of annihilation, the player would not be able to break the zombies' defense. The mutant zombies are god-like in the eyes of current players, but Su Ming'an killed them.

Su Ming'an took a casual glance and saw that the popularity, which had been maintained at [700] in the past few days, had skyrocketed to tens of thousands.

There was a barrage reminding him that it was recommended on his live broadcast room. The live broadcast system was operated by the game organizer and tens of thousands of viewers flooded in instantly.

In a world without any legal restrictions, violence seems to be the most important factor. Many people will easily cross the bottom line in their hearts and become completely different person from Zhai Xing.

In people's eyes, Su Ming'an has been labeled as a ruthless person. After all, in the eyes of the audience, his behavior and reaction are completely different from the reaction of ordinary people to these things. It seems that he is not afraid at all, does not feel pain at all, and is not afraid of death at all.

People are afraid of this kind of "alien".

After that, Xiaohan went to bury the children. Su Ming'an noticed that there was an empty pit beside all the earth pits.

"Why dig an extra grave?" he asked.

Xiaohan pulled the corner of her mouth: "It's nothing, Doctor."

She raised her head with a dim look in her eyes: "Doctor, in the past, you often read me poems in peacetime. I... like literature very much. Can you read me one?"

Su Ming'an thought for a moment, and read a poem by Lorca to the children's tombstones.

"The dawn is coming, and no one welcomes it in their mouths,

"Because there is no tomorrow here, and there can be no hope.

"Sometimes money forms a vicious alliance,

"It stabs and devours the displaced children.

"The first people to come out know it in their bones,

"There will be no paradise there, and no love without violence;

"They know they are going to the mud of rules and numbers.

"Do tricks without art, sweat without results."

Xiao Han smiled lightly.

Literature is part of the human soul, and she was satisfied to hear such words.

"Doctor, I want to stay and repair the laboratory, you..." Xiao Han supported her injured arm.

"Then we'll see each other later." Su Ming'an decided to leave. He needed to kill zombies to upgrade, and he had to rush to the most dangerous place.

"Doctor, please be safe. "Xiao Han didn't seem surprised by his departure.

When bidding him farewell, he turned around and saw a strange smile on her face.

Xiao Han seemed to know a lot of things...

[Exp+50!]

[Exp+50!]

[…]

After leaving the laboratory, Su Ming'an chopped zombies all the way, and his efficiency was twice that of ordinary people. His advantage was that he was not afraid of death, and he had the blessing of the annihilation skill, which could smash the zombies' skulls.

On the fourth night of the copy, Su Ming'an leveled up two levels and reached the first level three. He obtained three free attribute points per level, a total of six points.

He put all the points on [Spirit]. The strength of the clone is related to the spirit points, such as If his spirit points are high enough, he can control his clone at the same time.

After adding points, he obviously felt that his vision was clearer, and his perception, judgment, and acuity were improved as if he had a pair of invisible new eyes. With an average of only 5 points per person, his 16 spirit points were enough to stand out from the crowd.

Based on the growth rate of the five senses, it is estimated that he will not be able to control his clone until it reaches about 25 points. This skill is very powerful, but it is difficult to control in the early stage.

He carried a bloody iron rod and looked for a place to spend the night. Near the edge of the city, a tavern was glowing in the dark, and the light was dim and cold. A figure was standing outside the tavern.

Is that a player like him?

"...Su Ming'an, is it you? "The player suddenly spoke.

Seeing the man's face, Su Ming'an's vigilance was slightly lowered. He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance in such a place.

The acquaintance was wearing a snow-white cat-ear jacket. The cheeks shrouded in light were almost transparent. The pair of black eyes were very bright as if the stars fell into the dark night sea.

"We actually met here?" Su Ming'an really didn't expect it.

"My luck is S." said the acquaintance.

Su Ming'an glanced at the bright lucky E on his panel.

This acquaintance has been his friend for several years and a partner in playing games together... Although he always thought that she was too bad at playing games and didn't want to play with her.

But the other party is lucky S, and has been practicing swords since childhood, so he has some combat power. Even if he is the strongest person in the world, lucky E is lucky E, and he will not let him go just because of his high combat power.

Try to form a team first, and if it doesn't work, separate, just treat it as a lucky halo.

Su Ming'an agreed to form a team and saw Yueyue's avatar appear in the upper left corner of the field of vision. The level is level 1, the health bar is 500/500, the mana is 100/100, and the combat power is a bright 60, which is the initial value.

"My novice level evaluation is A, and I still have some combat power." Yueyue said: "What about you? How is your novice level progressing? "

"ss." Su Ming'an said.

As soon as he said this, the barrage instantly laughed:

[Brother Ming'an started again.]

[I have seen several live broadcast rooms named "The only ss clearance in the world", but they looked frustrated during the battle...]

[So many veterans can't ss, why can you ss, it's so funny, it doesn't make sense at all, the other one billion people are living on dogs' stomachs.]

[Everyone stops mocking, what if it's true.]

[Indeed, I believe in Ming'an, Ming'an is awesome! (dog head.jpg)]

...

"ss? "Yueyue stared at him.

She didn't question or laugh. Unlike those comments mocking Su Ming'an, she was always easy to trust.

However, he had no feelings for her. It's better to say that he didn't have such emotions for anyone.

"How did your arm break?" Yueyue said.

"I cut it myself."

"Yeah." Yueyue didn't ask: "I found a path leading to the Central Hospital. We can go and see it tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll tell you the clues on my side..." Su Ming'an told his experience again. When he talked about the mushrooms growing on the corpse, he saw Yueyue's hand tremble obviously.

"What are you eating?" Su Ming'an pointed to the package in her hand.

The bag in Yueyue's hand was quickly hidden behind her. She looked at Su Ming'an vigilantly, as if she had suddenly exploded.

"I won't steal yours. "Su Ming'an said.

Yueyue pulled her hand out. On the bag, it was clearly written, "Hericium erinaceus biscuits".

Su Ming'an looked at her wrist - he saw a vermilion mark accurately.

He fell silent.

He was thinking about whether to separate from her quickly.

"What's wrong?" Yueyue tilted her head.

"If nothing unexpected happens, all players who eat mushroom food will eventually become corpses." Su Ming'an was a little alert, he didn't want to leave a time bomb that could mutate at any time.

"Hmm..." Yueyue pinched her chin, and the lines of her fingers were soft.

"Kill me before the mutation." She said: "Now, follow me into this tavern - I found a place to stay tonight. "

Su Ming'an raised his eyes. He did not expect the other party to be so calm.

Yueyue did not seem to want to wait for his response but took the lead.

[Perfect clearance progress: 15%]

[Slight increase in survival probability]

Entering the tavern, the hunched-backed boss raised a smile unique to profiteers on his face and started to sell him:

"Young man, do you want to try my collection of fine wine? Twenty-year-old daughter red wine, I guarantee you and this girl will be happy together..."

"No, we are just ordinary friends, thank you." Su Ming'an refused the wine in the old man's hand and went up the stairs.

He knew there was something wrong with this place at a glance. But he was good at going to the most problematic places.

The old man's face was gloomy for a moment, but soon, there were several anxious footsteps at the door.

"——Damn it, I finally found a place to live. This game is really killing people. "

"Boss, do you have food? Can it be cheaper?"

"Damn it, I don't know who the person who spoke at the opening ceremony is. He has a high score and probably lives a very easy life. We are like dogs being chased by zombies…"

"When will the world ranking list come out? I also want to be on the list…"

Several young players rushed in, complaining and staggering from exhaustion.

The boss saw the new guests and showed a fake smile on his face again:

"Welcome…"
