The moment the dialog box popped up, the game scene was frozen, and everyone around him was motionless.
He can now exit the game at any time, or continue playing and explore more content.
Naturally, Wang Hao cannot leave easily. The "final source of infection" has not yet been found, and the gluttons outside have not been cleaned up. If he leaves now, he will only be 100% complete at most.
With a slight movement in my heart, I clicked the [Continue Game] button.
A countdown appeared on the screen: [6 hours, 33 minutes and 12 seconds].
After this countdown ends, he will leave the game.
Time restarted, and the two people around him continued to discuss the problem, as if the pause just now had never happened.
Chen Xinyi is extremely unlucky. Recently, she heard from her colleagues that the special delicacy "Golden Spicy Chicken Grilled Fragrant Rice Burger" in a certain store in Wal-Mart Mall is very delicious.
As a foodie, I got up early and came here to buy.
As a result, before seven o'clock in the morning, a red mist suddenly rose around her, and she was sucked into it.
I originally thought that [Game] would control her again, and I was still a little excited in my heart. Unexpectedly, until now, the master of [Game] has not appeared...
"Then, how did these gluttons appear?"
She rubbed her temples: "I was eating a burger in the restaurant on the second floor, and saw a large group of strange people running from the square from a distance. These people had ferocious faces, and dark lights coming out of their mouths.
He was begging for food like crazy."
"If you don't give food, just eat the other person in front of him."
"There are still many people who don't know whether to live or die. They ran over to watch. In just a few minutes, all of these people..."
Speaking of this, her face looked slightly frightened.
After all, she was more experienced than ordinary people, and she quickly judged that these guys were truly weird.
So I hid in the toilet next door...
"So that's it..." Wang Hao was speechless, "You're lucky."
Counting him and Smith, there were a total of four men and five women in the bathroom, including two tourists and four staff from the mall itself, all of them shivering and with trembling expressions on their faces.
It is perfectly normal for ordinary people to have such a reaction. Who is willing to face inhuman weirdness if they are used to a peaceful environment?
Chen Xinyi judged that these weirdos were more likely to use their sense of smell to find food, so she threw the toilet paper in the wastebasket outside to cover their smell.
But there is basically no more intelligence collection work...
He felt a little funny and thought to himself: "I thought Ms. Chen had become more powerful, but it turned out that she finally chose to wait passively here to die."
"If I hadn't come over, she would have been stuck in the bathroom. Will there be a bug in this game?"
However, it is normal. Before the script started, he actually directly controlled Chen Xinyi to explore "Gluttony Paradise", but this time he used an avatar, and the story developed in a completely different direction.
Thinking of this, I had an idea and wanted to test the wisdom of the NPC in the game: "There is some water in the tap water pipe, but there is basically no food... If we don't come over, what should you do? Keep hiding here and starve to death.
Until then?"
Wang Hao imagined some horrific scenes of people eating people.
Chen Xinyi was speechless and began to think about this problem.
This middle-aged uncle calls himself a "member of the Black Guard", and she can't verify it now. Anyway, his performance is much better than hers.
Wait, how does he know my surname is Chen?
I don't think I've introduced myself. Names are confidential to a certain extent. Like Smith, it's probably just a code name.
Chen Xinyi had a suspicion in her heart and began to recall whether she had "introduced herself" accidentally.
In Wang Hao's eyes, this female character, who had a good face but only had a pair of A's, stood there stupidly, looking dazed, and was immediately stopped by the question.
I can only lament that she failed the Turing test.
"The AI of artificial intelligence still needs to be strengthened...Although it is already world-class, sometimes it still has bugs and looks like a robot."
After a while, Smith thought of another question and interjected: "Ms. Chen... do you have any rare objects that can be used to contact you?"
"We have to pass on the information, otherwise we won't be able to get rescue! We will still be trapped here."
Chen Xinyi shook her head.
She originally wanted to pass on information through "souls entering the game training camp".
However, since this area was enveloped in red mist, she seemed to have lost the ability to enter the "Game Training Camp"!
The reason is unknown!
Even though the flames like eyes were still beating and flickering in her mind, no matter how hard she concentrated, she could not enter the training camp again.
This fact made her feel a little frustrated. Could it be that even the rules of the Demon God [Game] couldn't break through this red mist? What kind of existence did they provoke?
She licked her dry lips and said with some hesitation: "I have the ability to transmit information, but I can't use it now..."
"Why?"
"I don't know the reason. It may be that the red mist outside has blocked the communication ability... I'm not sure. Anyway, there is no way now."
"If you can't contact the outside world, aren't you waiting for death?" Smith couldn't help but knock on the wall hard.
Well, now hiding in the toilet is much better than the cramped sewer.
Lao Wang listened to their conversation and calculated in his mind for a while. He should have completed the main mission now, and the game completion level is 100%.
You must complete more hidden tasks within six hours to get high scores.
So he turned his head and said to everyone in the toilet: "Everyone, I think that as long as we kill the real source of infection in this area, maybe the surrounding red mist will dissipate. At that time, this lady will be able to deliver the message.
."
"Does anyone know what the source of the infection is? Everyone is thinking about it. Is there a very special person? Or a very special thing? One that is very dangerous at a glance."
"Does anyone know what exactly happened? The original cause."
Seeing that these "police officers" were still thinking of a solution, the rest of the civilians in the bathroom also participated in the process.
A middle-aged uncle wearing sanitation uniform said: "At around seven o'clock in the morning, I heard noisy sounds coming from the square, and the sky turned the color of blood. I was sweeping the floor at that time and took a photo. It was seven o'clock in the morning.
Thirteen minutes and twenty-two seconds."
"I touched the red mist and my skin felt a little cold. I even went in to take a look."
"Have you entered the red mist?" Wang Hao looked at the uncle in surprise.
The sanitation worker seemed a little nervous: "Ah... I felt a little strange, so I walked straight in. I found that I couldn't see anything at all, not even my own hands, so I walked back straight away."
The rest of the people heard that he had actually walked into the red mist, and they suddenly took a few steps back with a bang.
"Are there any adverse reactions?"
Wang Hao continued to ask, "Do you want to eat?"
"I feel...my head is groggy and I want to sleep a little bit, but I can hold it back...it's really not me!" The sanitation worker became more and more nervous: "I haven't turned into a monster either!"
Wang Hao took a deep breath: "I didn't say it was you. Why are you nervous?"
"Has anyone else been exposed to the Red Mist? Please speak freely. If we don't figure out the truth now, everyone will die. We must collect more information and figure out the causes and consequences."
Maybe it was because of his calmness that he calmed everyone down.
It is always right to have a backbone.
After a while, another young woman, probably a white-collar worker working nearby, stood up tremblingly.
"I also entered the red mist, took a photo, and posted it on WeChat Moments."
Yes, it’s perfect to take pictures when you see such a strange scene.
"What do you feel?"
"In the red mist, I felt very irritable, and I couldn't see what was outside at all. I panicked and quit immediately."
"You don't want to eat?"
"No... indeed not."
Now two people have been exposed to the red mist, and both of them only have a premonition of irritability.
This shows that the source of infection is most likely not the peripheral red mist.
This red mist will only affect visibility and cause irritation.
"Is it... lowering the sanity level?!"
Wang Hao was thoughtful.
The source of infection should not be the red light in the sky.
Everyone in the bathroom had been exposed to the red light from the sky, and no one had any major adverse reactions.
Smith stood aside, listening impatiently, gesticulating and trying to say something.
His Chinese proficiency was not very good. These people spoke so fast that he could not understand what they were saying.
He kept repeating "source of infection, source of infection", even speaking English.
Wang Hao added: "If there is really a source of infection, it means that its rules may be different from ordinary gluttons, and it will be more dangerous. We must be careful."
"Ms. Chen, do you carry any offensive strange objects? Let's discuss now whether we can eliminate these objects."
Chen Xinyi took out something from her backpack: "There is only a rune blade. This thing... should be able to cut open the glutton's body, but close combat is too dangerous, and we may not be able to do it."
The Rune Blade looks like an ordinary dagger with exquisite cicada-wing runes carved on it. Using it requires a person's mental strength.
An ordinary person would be unconscious for a day and a night after using it for about one minute.
The higher the strength of the mind, the longer it can be used.
"I'm also wearing a protective suit made of special silk, but it's also of no use... because it takes an instant to be swallowed. This is the crushing of human beings by idealistic rules."
"There is also an ordinary pistol, which is even more useless."
Chen Xinyi took a deep breath and said, "I once saw a glutton fall from a ten-story building and hit his head on the ground."
"On your head?"
"Yes, but even if the head is smashed, this glutton is still alive and kicking without any damage. It may have the function of self-repair. So I don't think guns have much meaning."
"There is also one... fairy bean, well, there is only one. It can repair injuries and restore mental strength at the same time."
As a protected person among the Black Guards, she had only obtained these precious rare items in recent days. If she was involved in any supernatural incident, she could defend herself a little and not die instantly.
