Chapter 116

Yu Tang returned to his desk and pulled over the computer.

He read the summarized "Survival Guide" again, opened the visitor area, and sent a few messages.

The system was stunned when it saw the content left by Yu Tang: "Host, do you want everyone to leave the room?"

Yu Tang nodded: "In electronic storms, the closer to the outer layer, the safer it is."

The particles in the outer layer seem to fluctuate violently, but they have the lowest impact on humans.Even if it is assimilated by the environment, as long as the life energy has not been completely dissipated, it can find a way to recover.

The closer you get to the eye of the storm, the more dangerous the environment becomes.

"This man-made electronic storm has not yet fully formed, and its eye of the storm is not dimensional enough to communicate with mine."

Yu Tang stood up and went to open the window: "Even if I can catch people, I can't throw them out... Anyone reply?"

System: "...Yes."

Yu Tang: "What did you say?"

The system flashed a small red light and whispered: "...We need to stop spreading rumors, and don't get involved with them if you want to die."

This is already a very mild statement.

In the face of successive fatal crises, many people have lost their cool and are more willing to believe in the most effective survival plan that has been proven before them.

Rather than taking the risk of retreating outdoors where rust will continue to grow, more people would rather stay in a temporarily safe confined space.

"It's not surprising." Yu Tang nodded, "Senior Zhan, take the system outside to confirm the growth of this man-made storm. I'll stay here first and see-"

He paused for a moment, looked at the hand holding his arm, and raised his head to meet Zhan Chen's gaze.

"You are more familiar with these." Zhan Chen said warmly, "If someone needs to stay behind, I am more suitable."

He had restored his own data state, and Feng Qing's particles were condensed into a dense particle mist, slowly hovering in Zhan Chen's palm.

Zhan Chen handed the particles to Yu Tang.

Yu Tang looked at the light blue particle mist and did not speak immediately.

...Theoretically, this is indeed the case.

But after the third rule is issued, people who go out will be safer and more likely to survive than the core area that is constantly evolving.

"Senior Zhan." Yu Tang asked, "Feng Qing's particles want to get out, don't they?"

Zhan Chen looked at him, paused for a moment, and nodded quietly.

Yu Tang took the ball of particles.

Extremely obscure fluctuations oscillate outward from the particle fog and continue to spread imperceptibly, constantly urging the holder to leave the area.

The system wanted to ask a question just now, but couldn't help it: "Host, since Feng Qing has been transformed into the game world, why is there still this group of particles that make up his body?"

Yu Tang: "Because this group of particles was removed."

The system was stunned for a moment.

"What the terminal wants to create is a man-made electronic storm that has no independent consciousness and is completely controlled by it."

Yu Tang said: "It's not Feng Qing who would rather die than swallow Zhong San."

To the terminal, this stubborn, headache-inducing particle is a useless waste product.

This ball of particles was stripped out and turned into No. 13, who had severe memory loss and extremely unstable physical condition. He was abandoned as a failed product and circulated into the black market as a commodity.

After going around and around, he was bought back by Zhong San and put into this battle royale game.

The game world is Feng Qing's domain, and his body resonates with the domain. Every time it is analyzed and reorganized, part of the particles will be swallowed up by the domain, and memory and consciousness will be lost again.

Until the end, Feng Qing was completely unable to maintain the last particles of himself and completely dissipated in the villa.

——Then, Feng Qing got a chance to be reborn.

He went back to the time when he was taken home by his adoptive parents and grew up stumbling.Back when he was ten years old, he looked up from his zero-score paper and saw the principal from his neighbor's elementary school who had been invited by his adoptive parents to make up lessons for him.

"The terminal has made two preparations."

Yu Tang said: "Cultivating artificial electronic storms is too troublesome and not stable enough after all - it wants to lure me to stop and stay in this world."

Electronic storms are high-energy particle flows that will not die, particle-level civilizations wandering in the universe, and light and wind that cannot be caught.

If you want to keep the electronic storm, the best way is to let the electronic storm experience the pleasure of devouring it.

The bottom line is easily broken. In the beginning, in order to survive, one devours the particles that are the culprit of everything. After tasting the power brought by devouring, one cannot help but take another step forward.

The terminal is used to this method, but it didn't expect that this time it would actually use a large human light group.

"So, Senior Zhan."

Yu Tang stuffed Feng Qing's particles into the sea of consciousness, stretched out his arms and hugged Zhan Chen: "It's not your fault."

Zhan Chen's shoulders and back tensed slightly.

He knew what Yu Tang was talking about, and his eyes without the smile were still gentle and quiet, as if this had reached the limit of what the data could simulate.

"What the terminal said to you at that time was to save face."

Yu Tang said: "It wished that I had no humanity and would be fooled by it and swallow up Zhongsan's particles. Then it went deeper and deeper step by step, swallowing more and more. In the end, it couldn't fly and was trapped in the Chuan Bookstore.In the dimension..."

Zhan Chen felt helpless and raised his hand to put a warm hug on Yu Tang's back: "Aren't you also trapped in the dimension of the bookstore now?"

"No." Yu Tang said, "It has nothing to do with dimensions."

Yu Tang hugged Zhan Chen, not knowing whether it was to extend the time for the data to materialize. He noticed that Zhan Chen did not deliberately maintain his body temperature and heartbeat, like a lifeless body.

Yu Tang actually doesn't care about this at all.

He held Zhan Chen's waist, buried his face in Zhan Chen's neck, and pressed against the cold skin exposed by the collar.

"I'm not trapped here."

Yu Tang: "My home is here, and I will always come back."

Zhan Chen's chest and shoulders were slightly tense. He didn't say anything, raised his hand to wrap around Yu Tang, and placed his palm on Yu Tang's back.

"Feng Qing's domain will resonate with his particles. As long as Feng Qing enters the game, this start will be automatically triggered."

Yu Tang: "Senior Zhan, if I guess correctly, you can win every time because Feng Qing's particles will suddenly struggle to get out of the room every time."

Zhan Chen nodded.

This memory will be erased as time resets, but no matter what aspect is considered, what Yu Tang said should be the most reasonable speculation.

The result of staying indoors is a blank unknown. Only when you return to the outdoors, where rust will grow, can you survive.

The system asked in a low voice: "Host, can't we go out together?"

"No," Yu Tang said, "because then we will go back to this cycle and have to do it all over again."

This game has been reset many times. After leaving the sealed room, you can finally survive in the game and get asteroids, but you can only stop at the penultimate level and never reach the end of the book.

In the last level of this game, the big boss who only dares to hide must be hiding in this void.

No matter how dangerous this blank space is, if there is no record of surviving indoors in every game reset, someone must leave it behind.

"I know this place better and it's more appropriate for me to go out."

Yu Tang said: "I am obedient. But Senior Zhan, if you stay here, no matter what danger you encounter, you must wait for me to come back."

Yu Tang: "You have to wait for me to come back this time."

Zhan Chen nodded.

He met Yu Tang's gaze and assured in a warm voice: "Okay."

Yu Tang swirled a ball of particles in his palm, compressed and hardened it to the limit, and smashed the window behind him with his backhand.

Yu Tang let go of his hand, came out of Zhan Chen's arms, and climbed out of the villa by stepping on the window frame.

In just an instant, his body disappeared into the stream of particles outside the window.

Zhan Chen returned to his desk and flipped through several pages of posts in the message area.

Human beings trapped in fear and panic are difficult to convince. Until now, a large number of players are still extremely resistant to returning to the outdoors.

Some people couldn't help but want to go out. They all had their own opinions and had already become a quarrel in the message area.

[Stay in a closed environment, until how long?Will you never go out for the rest of your life?]

[We only have enough food and drinking water to last two more days!]

[Has anyone deciphered the third rule?What exactly does whitespace mean?]

[Does blank refer to air?Does rust spread through the air?]

[If that were the case, wouldn’t going back outside be a dead end?]

[The one who said electronic storm actually makes some sense.]

[What makes sense?Even if we are facing each other, how can we be considered as entering the eye of the storm?We are in separate places and not together, so just be careful not to run around...]

The system is also thinking about this: "Mr. Zhan, what exactly is the eye of this man-made storm?"

When it was chatting with Shi Ji, it also heard Shi Ji talk about the host's eye of the storm.

For example, if the electronic storm is an egg, the eggshell is the outer area, the egg white is the middle area, and the eye of the storm is at the yolk, which is easy to identify.

But this is a natural electronic storm. It is the first time that the system has seen the domain of S-class superpowers. It feels a little unsure: "Will it be the eye of the storm that can run around on its own, wandering around to catch people?"

Zhan Chen shook his head: "No."

The system asked in a low voice: "What could that be?"

Zhan Chen did not answer immediately. He walked to the window and looked at the window that was smashed by Yu Tang.

In just a few minutes, the window had regained its integrity, closing tightly as if it had never been damaged.

The system was stunned: "Mr. Zhan, what's going on?!"

"Time does not flow in the eye of the storm." Zhan Chen said, "We are now in the eye of this man-made storm."

system:"??"

"After Feng Qing was adopted, he was kept in a room by his parents to study. If he got into trouble, he would be locked up in a small dark room."

Zhan Chen: "He was sent to be rehabilitated and enclosed in a sleeping cabin. Later, he was abandoned by his parents and admitted to the hospital."

"After he woke up again, he was shipped everywhere in containers as a commodity."

"He was bought home by Zhong San, and he was imprisoned in this villa again."

Zhan Chen said: "What he is most familiar with is a closed and closed indoor space."

The system was startled, and he quickly returned to the window and tried his best to look outside.

When Zhan Chen went out to investigate, every place outside was covered with rust. The whole world looked like a rusted antique, exuding a strange atmosphere of deep twilight.

When Yu Tang opened the window, there were countless overlapping images and a stream of broken particles that were completely unrecognizable.

...but now there is a peaceful and peaceful scene outside the window.

If you didn't know that this was a game world, you might have thought that this was the most ordinary corner of any planet.

In the message area, there are still people refuting those people's unfounded worries.

[Can you still see the rust now?Isn’t this all gone?]

[Perhaps there is a BUG on the game side. It is being fixed now. It won’t be long before we can be released.]

[There is really no rust!]

[Didn’t the previous assimilation end at a certain time? Did the rust also end?]

[Can anyone in the therapeutic field go out and have a look?Can you go out now?I was suffocating in the house!]

…

As the system looked at these messages, a weirder feeling began to rise, and it couldn't help but feel chills running through its body.

It looked at Zhan Chen, and its heart tightened: "Mr. Zhan, your body is starting to fade... is the time that the data can support is coming to an end?"

Zhan Chen shook his head and turned the mirror over.

The system stared at the camera in shock.

...In the mirror, the mecha body where it temporarily resides has all lost its original silver color. The flashing red lights can no longer be distinguished, leaving only deep and shallow gray.

Inorganic, as if sooner or later it will fall into a blank gray.

Shi Ji once told the system about this feeling. When he was hidden in the eye of the storm, he could see the color of his body gradually fade to dim, then to gray, and finally turned into a line drawing like a two-dimensional animation.

If Yu Tang hadn't picked him up, kneaded up a ball of particles and threw them out, he would have slowly turned into a ball of intertwined threads.

…

Many people in the message area also noticed something strange.

Some people suspected that there was something wrong with their eyes, while others swore that this was just a game after all, and that the real-life projection was too realistic. Now something went wrong, and pixels started to drop out and there was color difference.

Some people who already knew something about electronic storms began to vaguely wonder if they had fallen into the eye of the storm.

The system was a little anxious: "But how did we fall in? We haven't done anything at all, and we haven't been to any new places..."

Zhan Chen said: "The eye of the storm in this world is a closed space."

The system was stunned: "What?"

“The rules are ‘blank spaces’ and the place is every fully enclosed space.”

Zhan Chen said: "Assimilation is to force players into the middle area, and rust is to make players leave the jungle and choose to enter a closed indoor space."

Zhan Chen: "Players are not scattered in different places. As long as the space is completely closed, the eye of the storm can grow."

If the doors and windows are closed tightly and the last crack in the door is blocked, the eye of the storm will grow in this secret room.

Wrap yourself tightly in the suit, zip up the last bit, and the eye of the storm will grow inside the suit.

The eye of the storm has no shape and cannot be observed. It grows in all enclosed spaces and devours everything in the space.

Every player who seals all the gaps to avoid rust will fall into the eye of the storm without realizing it while completing this process.

"This space is growing." Zhan Chen said, "Growing, integrating, and connecting into one."

The system was speechless and looked at the computer on the desk.

The message area was also scrolling like crazy.

What's causing the commotion are a few new, unusually short messages.

[I am Sui Zhan, a level A healing power user.]

[Can anyone see this?]

[The door to our room disappears.]
