[I remember now, her name is Lin Lin.]
[Maybe this is the clue!]
Jiang Chen suddenly opened his eyes as he quickly took out the terminal and connected to the hospital's network.
"Dammit." He cursed in his mind as he carefully crawled out from under the front desk and poked his head out of the table.
The zombies at night were fierce. Even the slightest movement would attract their attention. Fortunately, they didn't have a sensitive sense of smell. Even if they did, they were smelly enough and probably wouldn't be able to smell anything. The only thing he had to be careful of was not being seen. Things like shadows wouldn't cause too much of a visual barrier to them.
Zombies had a poor sense of balance, especially those that had just mutated. In this case, the stairs in front of the hospital should be an obstacle for the zombies outside to enter as long as they didn't make too much noise.
There were only two zombies in the lobby. They were probably attracted by the gunshots and wandered over from the hallway. Jiang Chen tightened his grip on the safety hammer as he carefully crept behind a zombie and swung the hammer at its head.
Blood splattered. Before the other zombie could turn around, Jiang Chen swung the hammer at it again.
The lifeless and horrifying face shattered like a watermelon.
Holding the hammer, he quickly ran in the direction of the registration room.
"Awooo —"
Bang!
The hammer knocked down the nurse on duty who lunged at him. Jiang Chen quickly closed the door behind him and dragged a cabinet to block the door of the registration room.
Random scratching sounds came from the door. The series of movements must have attracted a lot of zombies wandering on the first floor. But he couldn't care less. Jiang Chen ignored the eerie knocking sounds and turned on the computer in the registration room. He then used the terminal directly connected to the internal network to search for the name Lin Lin.
"Dammit, don't let me down." Jiang Chen anxiously waited for the loading bar as he prayed that there wouldn't be a power outage.
Although the hospital had backup power, he didn't want to take the risk to find the backup power switch. Even if his physical fitness was insane, his endurance was not limitless. It was unrealistic to fight against an entire building full of zombies.
"Got it!"
Jiang Chen excitedly jumped in front of the computer.
As expected, that girl was a key figure. Fortunately, he had asked for her name.
He quickly called up the holographic image of the hospital and determined the target location. Jiang Chen was about to break through the door, but something unexpected happened.
Power outage?!
The entire hospital immediately darkened, and even the flickering lights went out. This time, they were completely blinded.
Unfortunately, zombies had night vision.
"Damn it." He cursed in his mind as he looked at his bleeding left arm. There were no medical tools in the registration room.
There wasn't much time left. If they didn't arrive soon, they would have to start all over again.
Taking a deep breath, he opened the drawer.
Notebook, pen, tape, toilet paper … flashlight!
He quickly tore off the toilet paper, then ripped off a piece of tape. He roughly covered the wound with toilet paper, then wrapped a few more layers of tape to stop the bleeding.
As for hygiene, since it was a game, there was no need to consider it.
He took out a paper-like phone from the nurse and simply set an alarm to ring in ten seconds. Then, he threw the phone out the window of the registration room.
The ear-piercing ringtone attracted all the zombies. The lunatics howled and rushed to the location of the cell phone.
Jiang Chen seized the opportunity and quickly opened the door. The alarm didn't attract the zombies for long. Once the zombies realized that the alarm was not a living creature, they would ignore it.
The hallway was pitch-black. Fortunately, he had a flashlight. Since zombies had night vision, there was no point in hiding in the dark. Therefore, Jiang Chen kept the flashlight on as he rushed to the stairs.
There were two zombies at the top of the stairs. When they saw Jiang Chen, they screamed and rushed over.
But because of the balance, the two zombies only walked down one step before they fell to the ground.
Jiang Chen went up and landed two more blows on the head before he continued to rush upward without turning his head back.
There were more people on the second floor, so there were naturally more mutated zombies. The zombies in the hallway were attracted by the commotion, but they still ran into trouble at the stairs. The hungry zombies followed Jiang Chen's direction and swarmed up. Just as he expected, they all tripped on the stairs and fell to the ground. In the end, they almost all rolled and crawled.
Jiang Chen's scalp tingled as he looked back at the zombies behind him. He gritted his teeth and continued to rush up to the third floor.
Fortunately, the number of zombies on the third floor was much less than the second floor. After smashing four heads with the safety hammer, he successfully broke through to room 103.
Without a word, he slammed the door open and closed it. Jiang Chen then inserted the safety hammer between the door handles.
Bang! Bang! …
After leaning against the door for a while, Jiang Chen made sure the zombies couldn't break the door open anymore before he slowly moved his back away from the door.
But then, he noticed a pair of eyes staring at him.
It was a very thin figure leaning against the window. The girl quietly observed him. Her hands were casually inserted into the large white coat, giving off an incongruous and comical feeling.
And that gaze.
How to describe it … the gaze was a bit strange.
It was like looking at a bug.
"Sigh, you all came to this kind of place." The girl looked at Jiang Chen with a lack of interest and sighed.
"Are you Lin Lin?" Jiang Chen took a deep breath and asked tentatively.
He wanted to know how to get out of the game, but he didn't know the girl's standpoint. What if she was on the side of artificial intelligence? Or she didn't want to help either side?
"That's right, and then?" Lin Lin said impatiently.
Jiang Chen forced a smile and took a few steps forward. He wanted to close the distance and maintain a friendly relationship …
"Stop! Who allowed you to get close to me. " But before Jiang Chen took a few steps, Lin Lin's face showed a disgusted expression. She glared at him and cursed in a low voice, "Lowly creature."
Jiang Chen originally wanted to talk nicely, but when he heard the last sentence, he was enraged.
"What, what do you want?"
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching her with an unfriendly expression, Lin Lin's voice was tinged with fear.
Hearing that, seeing the fear on her face, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile evilly.
"Me? Of course I want to — "
Bang!
The door was violently slammed open and the sound of metal scraping came from the door.
Whoosh!
Yao Tingting was covered in blood with a terrifying electric saw in her hand. The expression on her face was lifeless and crazed.
Bang!
The muzzle emitted green smoke as the bullet penetrated her head without any suspense.
Holding the gun, Jiang Chen's expression was a bit complicated as he stared at the white and hollow eyes.
"Oh? This girl should be your lover, right? Hehe, how ruthless — "The sarcastic Lin Lin suddenly paused because the gun was pointed at her forehead.
Looking at the cold eyes, she could no longer maintain her condescending attitude.
"Hehe, hehe." Lin Lin forced a dry laugh. Her expression was stiff as her eyes wandered between the gun and Jiang Chen's eyes. "In the virtual world, even if you shoot me dead, what's the use."
Looking at Lin Lin's forced courage, Jiang Chen laughed.
"It's useless. But the pain won't disappear, right? Let me tell you, memory erasure is useless against me. You have two choices now, help me leave here, or I will use the cruelest way to kill you, commit suicide, and then find you. It's just a game, right? It doesn't matter if I repeat it tens of thousands of times, right? "In the end, Jiang Chen's expression turned even colder.
Since she clearly didn't want to say anything, he had to use coercion.
"You, you devil … you, you can't rape me —!" Lin Lin screamed as she hugged her head and shrank back. She seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Jiang Chen was stunned.
"Huh?" [Did I say something like rape?]
"You're definitely looking at me, right? You must be thinking of using your big X to XX my XX, then looking at the humiliated expression on my face, then using the devil's smile to insult me, right?! " With a humiliated expression, Lin Lin looked at him with tears rolling down her cheeks. She hugged her shoulders and retreated backward in fear.
Jiang Chen was completely dumbfounded as he cursed after a while.
"Fu * k!"
"Eh —!" Lin Lin timidly raised her hand and shrank back. She was startled by his sudden voice.
[What kind of imagination is this …]
Jiang Chen's expression was stiff as his mouth twitched.
Stepping forward, he reached out and grasped her chin, staring into her timid eyes with the fiercest expression he could muster.
"I'm not going to waste my time with you. Tell me how to get out of here, now!"
"You, you can't win against it. So what if you get out! It's a devil, it will force you back into the game — "Lin Lin screamed as her mental defenses crumbled under Jiang Chen's devil-like words.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have my ways." Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes.
"So what if I get out? Don't think I don't know what the outside world is like right now. " Lin Lin trembled, but she somehow mustered up the courage to raise her head. "What's wrong with staying here?"
"It's not good in every sense." Jiang Chen looked at her, surprised, and then laughed. "Are you willing to be played by a program? Not only that, but he even played with it a thousand times. "
"You asked for it! I'm sure you know that as long as it's the starting point of the game, it's a safe zone. If you don't go out, you won't trigger any plot, and it can't do anything to you! Do you understand now? This is the biggest bug. As long as you can break through the memory lock, you can always stay — "
"You said you'll always stay in this room?" Jiang Chen paused for a moment and interrupted Lin Lin.
Lin Lin stared at Jiang Chen with hatred, then glanced at the gun in his hand with some fear. She gulped and said.
"That's right. As long as I don't go out and play the role of the" girl in the room, "the plot won't be triggered. Hehehe, now you understand, that artificial intelligence can't do anything to you. Don't look at the idiot lying outside who sawed open the door. As long as you don't go out, she can't enter this room! This is the setting, and it can't be changed! "
Lin Lin glanced at the person outside the door with disgust and said viciously.
But then, she suddenly realized that Jiang Chen was looking at her with a strange look.
"What, what do you want …"
The look made her feel disgusted. She instinctively felt fear towards males.
"I think you're very pitiful."
However, she had misunderstood. That was a look of pity, and not some evil intention that she thought it was.
"Ah?" This time it was Lin Lin who was surprised. She looked at Jiang Chen dumbfoundedly with her mouth curled.
"How many cycles has it been?"
"N times, who's going to remember that?" Lin Lin muttered.
"If I'm not wrong, you won't die in the petri dish, right? Then you've lived about 20 years in the real world. Converted to game time … 200,000 years? Two billion years? Did you spend all your time in this small room? "Jiang Chen scanned his surroundings.
"… It's not that insane. I selectively reset part of my memory according to the rules of the game." Lin Lin lowered her head and whispered, then turned her head to the side unwillingly. "So you lowly creatures are really troublesome. You can't even last a few days."
A few days naturally referred to the real world.
To Lin Lin's surprise, when the man heard the words "lowly creatures" this time, he didn't show any anger. Instead, he stared at her eyes for a long time, then sighed and began to talk about things that had nothing to do with this world.
"Now there are ruins everywhere outside. The situation in the suburbs is better. The city center is like a huge reactor. I haven't been to the coast, so I don't know the situation there. The entire Wanghai … No, strictly speaking, the entire world is like this. "
"Hehe, that's a pity. So I said, why don't you —"
Jiang Chen looked at Lin Lin with a deeper meaning, interrupted her, and then continued, "However, people are still working hard to live. Even if the world left behind after the war was a devastated world, even if the elites abandoned their responsibilities and sailed to the stars on the spaceship, the people left behind still didn't give up on this world, right? They are truly alive. Not a day is repeated, and not a day is fake — "
"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Lin interrupted Jiang Chen's words, and her eyes looked uncertain.
"Don't you want to see the outside world?"
[Don't you want to see the outside world?]
Like a heavy hammer, Lin Lin felt something in her heart was shattered. Her widened eyes evaded Jiang Chen's gaze.
"… That's impossible. Do you think the secret protector will let you leave the game?" Although the sarcasm in her voice still lingered, it was no longer as stubborn as before.
"I'll deal with it. Can you trust me?" Jiang Chen tried to make his voice sound gentle enough. He faintly sensed that the girl who imprisoned herself in the ward to escape from everything, although her personality was bad and her mental state was somewhat abnormal, she was still a girl.
Then there was the possibility of persuasion … Ahem, the possibility of persuasion.
Lin Lin's eyes were struggling. It was clear that she had enough of this endless cycle.
"I, I'm afraid of pain. If you fail, that damn artificial intelligence may plant something in my body again." Lin Lin looked at Jiang Chen with tears in her eyes.
"You're tempted, right?"
"Mhmm … No, it's still —"
"Leave it to me. You just need to tell me how to end this game. I'll get rid of that damn artificial intelligence. I'm 100% sure. " Jiang Chen put his hands on Lin Lin's shoulders, stared into her eyes seriously, and exerted pressure on her step by step.
At this time, he couldn't back down. If he showed any hesitation, it might scare away the "turtle" that finally stuck its head out.
Mhmm … Although it might not be appropriate to describe the girl as a turtle, that's what it was.
After her eyes struggled for a moment, Lin Lin timidly asked, "One hundred and twenty percent?"
"Mhmm! One hundred and twenty percent! "Jiang Chen patiently nodded and answered with certainty.
Seeing the confident expression on his face, Lin Lin finally slowly opened her mouth, and a hint of color appeared on her pale face.
Finally, she made up her mind.
"In the hospital's underground parking lot, parking lot 005, the emergency fire button next to it is the switch. That's the entrance to fallout shelter 005, which is also the 'console' of the entire game … But, you seem to be running out of time. "In the end, Lin Lin looked at the clock on the wall with a complicated expression.
"Mhmm?!" Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then looked back.
"On the first day, the secret protector can't reset the game, but on the second day, it can reset the game …" Lin Lin said hesitantly.
"Fu * k!"
Jiang Chen looked at her slow pace and was so angry that his nose became crooked.
Then why did you waste so much of my time?!
