——There are still 15 hours before the disaster strikes, and there are still 87 hours before the seven-day time limit——
"Sister, can you draw the story of Little Pig again?" The little children gathered around Su Rui, and their dirty little hands carefully grabbed the corner of her cloak.
Of course... Su Rui nodded gently and smoothed the messy yellow sand on the ground.
It's just an NPC... She sighed softly and drew on the sand again.
This copy gave her a very strange feeling, as if... it was like she was in the real world, where everyone had their own thoughts and emotions.
But how could it be, this is just a piece of data in the copy, and they will be constantly reset and performed.
Su Rui was amused by her thoughts. She curled her lips slightly and raised her hand to touch the rough top of the child's hair.
The touch at this moment reminded her of a vague fragment.
Houses collapsed and the earth shook.
She used her body to protect a small, furry head.
The hair was mixed with gravel, which felt the same as now.
Hiss... Su Rui pressed her forehead gently, her head hurt.
"Ahhh..." Several children ran past them, holding unopened bread in their small hands and smiling brightly.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Sibel scolded Su Ye and sat down on the box.
"Nothing...I was thinking, Ruirui and I are orphans and grew up eating hundreds of meals. Seeing the expressions of these children is like seeing me when I was a child."
Su Ye shook his head and no longer looked at the children holding the bread in the air and cheering.
The mercenary leader told him that those children were orphans and were picked up by androids from outside the base.
Orphan...what a familiar and painful word.
"Ha...it's just a piece of data." Sibel scratched his hair a little irritably, "You have become a guild leader and you still don't know how a copy is composed?"
"I know, it's just..." Su Ye was also a little confused.
"It's just that the feeling here is too real, and it feels different from other copies." Alaric suddenly appeared, and he squeezed in between the two men in a dark way and played with a small square piece in his hand.
"Have you not found a way yet?" He was a little impatient.
"No." Su Ye shook his head, "As soon as we try to leave here, we will immediately trigger a time regression, let alone find Mu Sang."
"It's like the plot wants us to be real refugees."
"What about him?" Alaric raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Chen, who was not far away.
"Be a real refugee and experience life here. This is also the answer he gave me." Su Ye shrugged.
——
There are still 5 hours until disaster strikes, and 77 hours before the seven-day time limit——
"Why do I have a bad premonition?" Su Rui touched the sleeping child lying on her lap uneasily.
"Come on, brother, help me." Not far away, the mercenary leader laughed heartily and patted several players on the shoulders.
"Thanks to you, that monster corpse made us a lot of money. My wife and baby daughter can move to a safer living area the day after tomorrow."
"I really hope these damn days will pass soon. I've had enough." People in the quarantine area chatted with each other, and between the lines were thoughts about the future.
"I didn't cherish the good life before, but I didn't expect that it would turn out like this."
"When things get better in the future, I must protect the environment. Ah... I might as well live in the mountains."
……
——
There is still one hour left before disaster strikes, and there are still 73 hours left before the seven-day time limit——
"Let's go, the inspection period is about to pass. I am your guarantor and I want to take you to register your identity." The mercenary leader called for the players to gather.
"Welcome to the new family, may hope last forever and light be immortal."
After recording the irises and fingerprints, the android put away the blood collection tube and handed out a shiny silver nameplate in a gentle voice.
'New family...' Alaric held the small nameplate engraved with his name and rubbed it unconsciously.
"Haha, welcome home." The mercenary leader patted him on the shoulder, "I just hope this big family will not be destroyed again."
"Alaric is a mercenary, but he was born into a loving family. His parents died tragically in front of him, so he knows better than anyone the feeling of despair when losing a family member."
Yun Chuan's voice seemed to still surround his ears, and Mu Chen observed Alaric's expression from a distance.
Counting the time, that disaster is about to come.
Under Yunchuan's arrangement, what the players see is the tragic but hopeful side of the refugees.
But those dark sides are all buried.
Mu Chen knew what Yunchuan was going to do, because the tragic death of a good person was always more heartbreaking than the tragic death of a villain.
——
There is still half an hour before disaster strikes, and there are still 72.5 hours before the seven-day time limit——
There is no foreshadowing, no premise.
Everyone is discussing the earthquake that happened a few days ago, and everyone is working hard to live a better life.
——
There are still 15 minutes until disaster strikes——
"I lost my baby in this disaster. Why should I create a star? Why should I call it a star?"
The Lord God stood on the high wall of the base, overlooking the desolation.
"There are still fifteen minutes. When will he remember?" Shadow Station whispered a few hundred meters away.
"I'll always remember it. The highlight is after the disaster." Yunchuan stood beside him and rolled his eyes.
"I feel that you are very unhappy." Ying laughed softly twice. "I don't think he would choose what you think."
"Should I be happy?" Yunchuan asked, his whole body covered in the cloak, and his pale fingertips began to become transparent again.
"But he will, he is the main god of the stars, not Musang of the rising sun."
"Okay, then... I wish you all the best."
——
There are still 10 minutes until disaster strikes——
"Wow, finally!"
At the edge of the base, a girl with twin tails excitedly held up a small white flower together with the soil.
"Thank you." She rubbed the furry heads of the children next to her. "When will Sister Xingxing come next time?" The children hugged her legs reluctantly.
"It won't be long. I'll bring you something delicious next time I come." Mu Chenxing smiled brightly.
"Eternity, send the children home."
"Yes, Master." The tall mecha responded, but his body did not move.
"Eternity?" Mu Chenxing turned around in confusion.
"Master, my warning did not sound, but..." Eternal Life suddenly stretched out his hands to protect Mu Chenxing.
——
There are still 3 minutes until disaster strikes——
"Musang, leader of the base."
The players who have passed the investigation period have collected the information they want, and are now thinking of ways to get deeper into the base.
"There are still three days, which is enough. I have a hunch that the last soul is here." Sibel nodded confidently.
‘Three days…’
——
There are still 2 minutes until disaster strikes——
The bracelet on the player's wrist suddenly became hot.
——
One minute left before disaster strikes——
The bionic man finally caught the dangerous signal in the air, and the piercing sirens instantly filled everyone's ears.
But...it's too late, it's too late...
A disaster without warning enveloped the base in an instant.
The first assault came not from the ground, not from the surface, but from... the sky.
Boom…
Huge rocks appeared out of thin air and hit the ground with blazing flames.
Countless androids were smashed before they even raised their guns, and countless desperate people died before they could escape.
"Be careful!" The players' powers were extremely powerful. When the stone was about to fall on the orphan's head, it was cut into fine sand by various powers.
The children are safe for now, but...
...But time instantly goes back at this moment.
With a flick of their hands, the players saw the child who had just escaped death being crushed by rocks in despair.
Blood gushes out and soaks the soles of the player's shoes.
"My power...disappeared..."
The players stared blankly at the tragedy ahead, only to find that they could not mobilize any superpowers.
Human beings are so fragile.
"Save...save my daughter..." The mercenary leader, who had just smiled and waved to them, was now wrapped around his ankle by a huge vine. He desperately pushed himself up with his shrunken hind legs.
"Please..." The crying girl rolled to the ground. Her hands rushed forward and passed directly through the players' bodies.
The players were helpless and could only watch as the vines sucked all the blood from the girl's body.
outsider.
They are outsiders.
Players have never had such a clear view of a disaster happening.
People who went to see people talking about the future became a puddle of flesh and were eaten by monsters that appeared out of thin air.
Go and see the eyes of the cheerful and innocent children widen, the dazzling scarlet soaking the soil.
This is the real disaster.
Players in high positions have become accustomed to using superpowers to easily kill monsters, and when the superpowers disappear, the sleepless days when they first entered the dungeon are still vivid in their minds.
"Why...why do we need to set up this kind of plot..."
Rocks and attacks pass through the players' bodies without leaving any traces.
There was nothing they could do but watch the disaster unfold quietly.
If there is a superpower, if the superpower can still be used.
They can easily protect the entire base and protect all the refugees.
Home, destroyed.
Among the corpses of countless people and the wreckage of countless machines.
Rising Sun Base became a backwater.
"It's just data. They will look the same next time the dungeon is opened." Su Rui closed her eyes and couldn't bear to look at the child lying in a pool of blood.
"There is no next time, this is not a copy."
The boss with silver hair and golden eyes came from the wreckage. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and countless lightning bolts were swallowed up by the black mist in the sky.
"There is no next time. Everything you see is really happening. Everyone here is a human being like you."
"Welcome home, welcome...back to Earth."
"Dear saviors."
