97th floor.
Mr. Zai crouched, holding the bat, and walked cautiously in the bright corridor.
All the way down from the top floor, he didn't stop on any floor.
Instead, he went down to the 97th floor without stopping and started looking for room 9720.
In my mind, I recalled the words on the radio.
[They will not die. Whether you use a gun or a knife, even if you cut off their heads or limbs, they will grow back later. ]
[How they came, I don’t know. I only saw a green shell exploding not far away, so our country would be clearer. ]
[Don't confront them head-on. You are not a warrior, you are just an ordinary person. They won't reveal any equipment or skills like in the game. ]
[So, once you encounter them, turning around and walking away is your best choice. ]
[I am now in the broadcast room on the 40th floor. The elevator is broken and the building is full of monsters. I dare not walk around. ]
[I can help you, but you have to go to room 9720 to get my things, a stereo camera and a walkie-talkie. ]
[Then, come to me on the 40th floor. ]
Recalling these words, Mr. Zai shook his head. By now, he had roughly understood.
I didn’t expect to get the small camera in the actual demonstration during the prologue process.
From this point of view, its effect is not that great.
As for the walkie-talkie, its function is even more obvious. It is used to talk to the radio man.
After all, cell phones don’t work in this building.
The main mission is also very clear.
That is to go to the 40th floor and meet this man.
What happens next is unclear.
but...
Mr. Zai looked at himself who was moving slowly and sighed.
It's not that he doesn't want to go fast, it's just that he can't go fast.
because...
His hunger level has bottomed out.
In other games, the hunger value is gone and the health value is deducted.
This game directly deducts physical strength.
When your physical strength is low, your movement speed becomes slower and you cannot run.
It's like having to find something to eat.
It's really enough to 'survive'!
"Brothers, if I don't find something to eat, I will probably starve to death in the prologue."
Mr. Zai was depressed and complained in the live broadcast room.
The audience and fans also commented and joked one after another.
"Don't be afraid. Xinxin's luck is worse than yours. She has starved to death twice."
"More than just calling for help? Brother Zai didn't encounter any monsters along the way. Sister Xin just came down from the 98th floor and encountered a monster whose head was split in two. She was swallowed on the spot."
"The monsters in this game walk randomly, which is really awesome. There is no fixed program route."
"The prologue is a bit long. When will you two get online?"
"Didn't you say you'd wait until the end of the prologue?"
Looking at the barrage, Mr. Zai took a deep breath.
I didn't expect that Xinxin's side would be so miserable, and I really had to find her all the time.
It seems that her ranking as the number one on the channel is not a guarantee, after all, Lian Tian is helping her!
Mr. Zai shook his head, turned a corner, and looked at the room number above.
9718.
9718! ?
Damn it! So fast!
great! Then 9720 is ahead!
Mr. Zai suddenly felt energetic.
After experiencing every fright, there was nothing unusual in the corridor in front of me, and it looked very safe.
So he stepped forward with joy.
After passing room 9719, we finally arrived at room 9720.
Looking at the door in front of him, he felt relaxed as if he had completed some difficult task.
This was due to his overwhelming luck, because he didn't even see a single monster along the way, which made it a lot smoother for him.
From the audience in the live broadcast room, we learned that Xinjiang’s experience didn’t seem to be very smooth.
I have to laugh at her after I get online.
Mr. Zai stood up, held the handle, and pressed it lightly.
The door is open.
really!
The radio man didn't lie to him, the door was unlocked!
but...
Mr. Zai immediately became serious.
The door is unlocked, which means anyone can get in.
people can.
Monsters...do the same!
Therefore, Mr. Zai leaned against the door, quietly opened it a crack, and observed the situation inside.
The powerful freedom of operation of VR is reflected here.
Here, you can do anything that you couldn't do on a PC.
Like opening the door now, Zai always opens it a little bit and observes the situation in the room little by little.
At the same time, he was also very nervous and beating very fast.
He was afraid that a head or a pair of eyes would suddenly pop out from the crack in the door and come face to face with him.
Then he probably had to go to the funeral home on the spot, saving him the trouble of going to the hospital.
Who can withstand such a scare when riding a horse?
Through the crack in the door, the room was dark.
Only the dim moonlight outside the floor-to-ceiling window allowed him to barely see.
After a general inspection, no monster was found, so it was safe inside.
Seeing this, Mr. Zai smacked his lips, waved his left hand, and pushed the door open.
Then he entered the room, turned around and turned on the light.
Suddenly, room 9920 became brighter.
This room is neither big nor small.
One bedroom and one living room with kitchen, bathroom and balcony.
At first glance, it seems normal.
But the strange thing is that there are a lot of religious items inside.
There are amulets, small decorative ornaments of certain gods, copper bells, statues, pictures, stacks of old talismans, etc.
It gives people a very uncomfortable feeling.
It's like being out of place.
The guest in this room seems to be a very devout believer.
Speaking of which, the male voice on the radio must be a religious believer, right?
Mr. Zai was stunned and shook his head.
What the backgrounds of the characters in the game are like are none of my business.
I just play games and just pass a mission.
So, he closed the door and locked it, and began to search for mission props in the house.
Soon, Mr. Zai found the walkie-talkie on the bed.
I also found a stereo camera and a paper plate inlaid with 14 color lenses from the cabinet drawer.
He picked up the camera and looked at it carefully.
Before, I couldn't see it very clearly in the actual demonstration, but when I got it in my hands, I found that it was very different from ordinary cameras.
It is smaller than an ordinary camera, and it is completely enclosed. There is no place to put film, batteries, or memory cards.
There is only a gap-sized groove for holding paper plates of colored lenses.
The back of the camera has a U shape similar to VR eyes.
On the front, there are two simple square lens openings.
The structure looks simple and nothing special.
On the edge, there's also a drop-down button.
This should be used to rotate the paper plate and switch the lens.
Mr. Zai turned on the intercom based on the reminder from the previous broadcast.
Soon, there was a buzzing noise inside.
At this point, the protagonist speaks again.
[The guy said to tune to channel 3...let me try...]
A prompt appeared in front of Mr. Zai.
[Please adjust the intercom to channel 0.3]
"ch03?"
Mr. Zai looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and found that it read: 0.1.
He understood, so he tried pressing the button on the handle and adjusted the channel to 3.
Suddenly, the noise disappeared and silence returned.
The game has once again entered real-time calculations.
Mr. Zai is already used to it.
Of course he hopes to watch more plot-oriented animations like this.
After all, this is a demonstration that allows him to understand the character and development of the protagonist.
[I've got your stuff, can you hear me? ]
...
The intercom didn't respond.
[Hello! can you hear me? ]
...
Soon, the intercom buzzed.
Then, the original male voice from the radio sounded.
[Very good, you have successfully obtained the two most important things. You can come to me on the 40th floor. ]
[Listen, these two things are very important and you have to make sure they are not lost no matter what. ]
[After all, when you come down from the 97th floor, you have to pass through 57 floors. There's no telling how many monsters there are among them. ]
[The intercom allows me to talk to you in real time. I can see the monitoring of all floors here and can give you directions and danger tips. But only on the 92nd floor. Because there is a power outage below the 92nd floor. If you can restore the power to the entire building and let the monitoring system run, I can continue to provide help and let you get downstairs safely. ]
Under the real-time calculation animation, Mr. Zai followed the protagonist's perspective and looked at the walkie-talkie and small stereo camera, and expressed doubts.
[What exactly do you want to do? Why did you find me? ]
[Also, are you a believer? Are all the things in here yours? ]
The radio man on the walkie-talkie sneered when he heard it.
[I am not a believer, I am a religious merchant who specializes in selling religious items that are not very clean and difficult to get rid of. For example... I'm looking for a stereo camera. ]
[Listen, I'm looking for you because you're the only person I can contact. I also found many survivors, but I couldn't contact them. So let’s reach a cooperation for the time being. I’ll help you go downstairs, and you’ll bring me a small camera. How about that? ]
The protagonist in the game hesitated for a moment, looked at the small camera, and then expressed doubt again.
[What is so special about this thing that makes you care so much? ]
The intercom was silent for a moment, and then he explained.
[As I said just now, I am a religious items dealer. This thing is naturally a commodity that needs to be sold. To you, it's just a piece of garbage. Even if you want to keep it as your own, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a way to sell it, and it might even cause a lot of trouble. ]
Looking at this small camera, the protagonist of the game may not know what it is.
But Mr. Zai knows it very well!
In the actual demonstration, this stereo camera can see ghosts and monsters that are invisible to the naked eye!
According to the radio man, he can provide guidance on floors 100-92.
After the 91st floor, unless the power is restored, you can only rely on the light of your mobile phone and stereo camera to get downstairs!
Therefore, the world view setting of this game may contain certain weird events.
[Okay, I understand, I want to leave this restaurant and give you this camera. You find danger for me and guide me in the right direction. ]
Laughter came over the intercom again.
[Very nice sir, but there’s no need to worry. Before you go, it's best to be well prepared. First, you have to eat enough, you have to drink water, and you have to rest. In this way, you will have enough energy to survive in the building. ]
[My backpack is still in this room, with some bread and biscuits in it. Carry as much as you can, just in case on the road. But remember, only bring what you need, because too much stuff can overload you. When you encounter danger, you will want to escape lightly. ]
[That's all I have to say, then, good luck to you. ]
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no sound from the intercom.
The protagonist tried to continue the call, but there was no response. It was as if the connection was cut off and no one responded.
In this regard, the protagonist seems a little helpless.
After putting away the walkie-talkie and stereo camera, we were ready to go.
But at this time, Zai Zong found that he could control it.
So he immediately went to the backpack and started searching.
Sure enough, a piece of bread and two biscuits were found inside.
Mr. Zai picked it up and ate it without any hesitation.
The game also thoughtfully adds a first-person eating action, which looks particularly interesting and realistic.
Then, the movement speed returned to normal, which meant that the hunger was resolved!
It seems like this game requires eating regularly.
Otherwise it will be very difficult to survive.
After finishing eating, Mr. Zai was about to search the room when he saw a prompt pop up in the game.
【End of prologue】
[Online mode unlocked]
Upon seeing the prompt, Mr. Zai was startled at first, and then overjoyed.
"Oh my god, it's finally unlocked! Finally I don't have to play alone!"
So, when he was about to send a message to Xinjiang, two reminders popped up in front of him.
[Congratulations on clearing the prologue and understanding the basic operations of this game]
[Sky Mountain is fully open, and you can explore the 100 floors at will. In this game, you can feel full freedom and terror. Choose your own play style and don’t have to stick to regular play styles. The specific content can only be imagined by you, and this game cannot do it. 】
Seeing this prompt, Mr. Zai was stunned again.
Not only that, even the audience and fans in the live broadcast room had the same expression.
100 floors to explore?
Full freedom and terror?
Only players can’t think of it. Isn’t there something that your game can’t do?
"Holy shit, is this really fake?"
"Is it really that awesome? I don't believe it, brothers, do you believe it?"
People in the live broadcast room immediately expressed their opinions.
Some say they believe it, and some say they don't.
The argument couldn't stop, and Zai always shook his head.
"Okay, let me give it a try. How about I smash a window and see if I can walk out?"
"The production team probably didn't expect that there would be players over 90 stories high who would go outside the building without fear of death, right? Let's see if it's really that free."
Fans in the live broadcast room clapped and applauded!
He said that he likes this kind of slap in the face scene!
So, Mr. Zai glanced at the room, moved a chair, and came to the window.
Just as he was about to smash the glass, a little girl's slightly crying voice came from outside.
[Dad...don't go...it's too dangerous...don't go...]
Hearing these words, Mr. Zai was startled. After confirming that the sound was coming from outside the window, he stepped forward and took a look.
But because of the glass, I couldn't see anything.
But this window is closed and cannot be opened. Only the breathable window on the top can open a crack of about 40cm.
In order to know what was going on outside the window, he put down his chair and stood up, increasing his height.
Then he stuck his head out of the gap and looked down.
Suddenly, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
Below, outside the window on the 96th floor.
A man with a rope tied to his body is crossing the ventilation window. Looking at the posture, is he going to leave from outside?
God, are you so brave? Don't want to die?
This horse riding is at the height of the 96th floor!
If you are not careful with the rope, even the gods will not be able to save you!
Moreover, how did you cross the 40cm gap in the breathable window! ?
Zai always looked down, his throat brimming with emotion.
Although the bottom of Sky Mountain is pitch black due to the height, it is impossible to see the bottom.
But the reference of the building in the distance was enough to tell him how terrifying this height was.
The man downstairs still dares to do this, no one can compare to him!
Soon, the man's voice came from below.
[Children, don’t cry, be good and obedient. When dad is away, you have to take good care of your brother, do you understand? ]
[Dad...no...don't go...I'm afraid...]
[Shh...! Shhh...! Don't cry baby, monsters will probably come when they hear the sound. ]
The man downstairs made a silent gesture on his lips and continued to comfort the child in the room.
[You know Dad is very powerful, right? Be good. Dad will find something to eat in the next room and be right back. He will be back soon. Be obedient. ]
[You must take good care of your brother, you know? Wait for dad to bring you some food, you are dad’s favorite...]
Mr. Zai was upstairs watching the plot performances belonging to NPCs and felt that the production team was really thoughtful.
Being able to arrange such an additional plot in this place really enriches the game content and details.
It feels like a real world is spinning, rather than everything revolving around the protagonist.
great! Very cool!
but...
Before Zai Zong could continue to sigh, his pupils shrank sharply in the next second, with a look of extreme horror on his face.
He just forgot that this was a game and started yelling immediately.
"Fuck! Come in! Come in!"
