Taking off his helmet, Liu Wei'an lay on the bed without moving. However, he immediately felt something was wrong. The usual feeling of weakness was gone, and he was still energetic. Thinking of the two white crystals he had eaten today, he immediately understood what was going on.
When I opened my eyes, the room was dark. I was offline at least an hour and a half later than usual today. When I pressed the switch, the fluorescent lamp emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the room as bright as day. Two figures, one large and one small, appeared in front of me. Liu Wei'an was not surprised. He just asked, "Why didn't you turn on the lights even though it was dark?" '
The older one and the younger one are both women. The older one is about thirty years old and the younger one is about eleven years old. They all have the same characteristic. They are thin, the kind of skinny people who suffer from chronic malnutrition, as if they could be knocked down by a gust of wind. Because there is no flesh on his face, his eyes look particularly big.
There were many red spots on the faces and exposed skin of the two women, some of which were red, swollen and suppurating. They looked very scary, but Liu Wei'an regarded them as normal.
This is a pair of wandering mother and daughter. By chance, Liu Wei'an saved Liu Wei'an's life, so Liu Wei'an took in the mother and daughter after surviving the crisis. Originally, Liu Wei'an could not support himself and was not qualified to take in others. However, at that time, if he did not take in the two of them, they would definitely be killed as virus spreaders.
However, Liu Wei'an knew that the symptoms of the two people looked like smallpox, but they were not contagious.
The mother, Zhao Nannan, named the little girl Zhao Xin from her mother's surname, which probably meant that she hoped that she could thrive and grow up happily, but obviously, reality ruined this beautiful wish.
"Mom said we should save electricity." Zhao Xin said crisply, with an expression on her face that showed surprise at seeing Liu Wei'an wake up, but also a bit inferior because of the spots on her face. Zhao Nannan's face is beautiful, with smooth lines and delicate facial features. If it weren't for the dense red spots, she would definitely be a first-rate beauty. With melancholy eyes, she was just stroking Zhao Xin's hair with her hands, not knowing what she was thinking.
Liu Wei'an sighed and got out of bed.
This is a room that is only ten square meters in size. After putting down a bed, there is not much space. There are no windows, and the large iron door has long been rusted due to moisture. Fortunately, the fluorescent lamp is quite bright. There was a shabby bedside table beside the bed. When he opened the drawer, he saw that there were only two energy tubes inside. Liu Wei'an immediately understood the reason for Zhao Nannan's melancholy eyes.
Energy tube, the most basic energy to maintain life activities. The essence extracted from food is colorless and odorless, and can only ensure that people do not starve to death. It is what guarantees the lives of most poor people and slaves.
According to standards, one energy tube can only sustain the human body's life activities for one day. However, for most poor people and slaves, being able to take one energy tube for three days on average is already a happy thing. Many slaves even take one pill every five days. Due to lack of energy, the consequences are that they have to sleep for a long time to minimize energy consumption. However, in this way, they cannot work, cannot make money, and become poorer and poorer. It's a vicious cycle.
Zhao Nannan and her daughter have not taken the energy tube for three days. Zhao Nannan can persist, but Zhao Xin cannot. She is growing physically, but Zhao Nannan dare not let her take it because the person who needs the energy tube the most is Liu Wei'an, and Liu Wei'an If you want to enter World of Warcraft to make money, if you don't have physical strength, you will definitely die, and Liu Wei'an is the only source of life for the three of them.
Liu Wei'an glanced at the mother and daughter. There was emotion, pity, and more hatred for the injustice of the world. However, these emotions only passed by in a flash, and he said, "I'll go out for a while."
The mother and daughter were startled at the same time. Zhao Xin showed fear on her face. Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Be careful."
Liu Wei'an nodded and went out.
It should be between six o'clock in the evening and the starting point at this moment, but it was already as dark as late at night, the wind was howling, the ice was biting, and the temperature was pitifully low. Liu Wei'an tightened his thin, tattered clothes and strode away with firm eyes.
This is no longer the Earth, but Mars. The Mars of 2017, although it has been here for three months, is still unable to adapt to the climate and environment here.
He was still on Earth three months ago. Although he was in an orphanage, at least he had food to eat, books to read, and friends around him, but fate played a joke on him.
On a dark night, the always amiable dean called him out, and then he was put into a car and taken away. He became a murderer and was sentenced to exile on Saturn, never to return. He was confused at first, but it wasn't until he got on the spaceship bound for Saturn that he suddenly realized that he had taken the responsibility for others.
Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up. However, fate seemed to have heard his prayers. When the spaceship traveled near Mars, it encountered space pirates. A once-in-a-decade hijacking occurred. After a fierce battle, the spacecraft crashed into the slave area of Mars. Liu Wei An took advantage of the chaos to escape and took away a gaming helmet. It was during the escape process that I met this mother and daughter who made a living by picking up garbage. At that time, the mother and daughter were dirty and messy, with sores on their faces and a stench. Liu Wei'an hid under Zhao Nannan's skirt. Escaped the most dangerous search. After that, he walked day and night and came to the junction of the slave area and the slum area. With the money he received, he rented a basement and settled down.
A month ago, when he went out to buy daily necessities, he met this mother and daughter. He didn't know why they wandered here. Although the slum area was not much better than the slave area, the management was much stricter. Mother and daughter like Zhao Nannan were carrying suspected infectious diseases. Anyone who resists will be forcibly arrested, and if they resist, they may be shot to death on the spot. Liu Wei'an was grateful for their life-saving grace and quietly took them back to his residence.
A month has passed in a flash, and the consumption of three people is more than double that of one person. Although the three of them try to save as much as possible, they have reached the point of exhaustion.
World of Warcraft is not that easy to mess with.
World of Warcraft is a real world, but the difference is that it is in another time and space. One thing that is certain is that it is definitely not the solar system.
In 2717, after being extremely prosperous, mankind finally inevitably entered a recession. The Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were overcrowded, and various conflicts broke out, such as the gap between the rich and the poor, class conflicts, party struggles, national disputes, underground forces, Terrorists...these dissatisfactions are like water in a pressure cooker, boiling, boiling, boiling, and finally, with a bang, the pressure cooker explodes.
The war first started on Saturn, and soon spread to Jupiter, and finally to Mars, and then to the birthplace of mankind, the Earth. The war lasted for one year and almost exploded the planet. Countless people died tragically and the population exploded by one third. The so-called Fortunes are unparalleled, but misfortunes never come alone. When the battle is at its fiercest, aliens attack.
The development of science and technology on the earth has long since rushed out of the solar system. After hundreds of years of searching, no aliens were found. However, aliens appeared at the most unexpected time.
The nature of war changed, from civil war to resistance to aggression. After ten years of life and death struggle, the aliens were successfully repelled. The Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn also became devastated, full of radiation, and the population dropped sharply to less than one thousandth of its peak.
Technological civilization was almost pushed back to primitive society, and that war was known as the Doomsday War in history.
After three hundred years of development, technology has returned to the level of 2717. However, the planets that were ravaged by the war have never been able to return to their original levels. Hundreds of years have passed, the radiation is still severe, large areas have become restricted areas, and species have mutated. , monsters are rampant, but these are small problems. The real big problem is that after thousands of years of indiscriminate logging, the resources of each planet in the solar system have been almost exhausted. The nine major planets in the solar system have been scanned, but not many resources have been found. , just about to reach the sun.
Lack of resources is the biggest problem facing mankind urgently.
Just when the rulers of the three empires decided to launch the 'weeding' plan, an unexpected event happened. The so-called 'weeding' plan is to remove the weeds among humans, because weeds are useless but absorb nutrients, and the so-called weeds are slaves, poor people and criminals among humans.
After the apocalyptic war, the former countries in the solar system have disappeared and been replaced by three new empires, the Han Dynasty, the Mayan Empire and the Atlantis Federation. For some historical reasons, human beings were re-divided into hierarchies, from high to low, nobles, citizens, commoners and slaves.
Slaves basically had no rights, only the fate of being slaughtered.
The incident that put the 'Weeding' plan on hold was World of Warcraft. The 'Black Hole' project jointly researched by the three empires exploded during the test. Under normal circumstances, an explosion would definitely mean a failure, but this time the situation was a little special. 'Black Hole' 'The plan failed, but it got a spin-off, World of Warcraft.
The 'Black Hole Project' failed, but it connected to an unknown world. This world is dominated by World of Warcraft. The important thing is that it is rich in resources, three times what it was before the solar system was mined. There is no doubt that the resources of World of Warcraft can support it. Humanity is at least three hundred years old.
So a game called 'Plunder' was born.
As mentioned before, the black hole plan is essentially a failure, so there are many flaws in 'plundering'. For example, humans cannot enter World of Warcraft or even bring any items into it. They can only enter through a game helmet and use brain waves to The form enters the World of Warcraft, and then undergoes mental imaging to become a real person.
The real person is exactly the same as the real world, and there is no difference in physique or intelligence. The only difference is that the human body generated in World of Warcraft can be resurrected after death. However, resurrection is limited and takes a long time. It takes a month for normal people.
One of the biggest features of the 'Plunder' game is that it can transmit things in World of Warcraft to the human world through the black hole of the universe. However, it is only limited to inanimate items. Although it is not ideal, it is a great benefit to humans. News, because meat, plants, minerals and other items in World of Warcraft can be continuously transmitted to the human world, the crisis of human resource depletion has been alleviated at once.
Liu Wei'an's thoughts were wandering, but the speed of his feet was getting faster and faster. Ten minutes later, he arrived at a commercial district, and the atmosphere became lively.
