His vision was plunged into darkness, and the game menu temporarily could not be opened. After a brief daze, Feng Bujue realized that in this endless darkness, he had moved from standing to sitting. He appeared to be sitting on some kind of hard chair with a back.
"Welcome to Thriller Paradise." This time, the voice that appeared was normal, like a normal young man, but the way it said that still sounded weird.

"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of triggering hidden side missions and special world-building.
"Reward for clearing the scenario: Gain eighty percent extra EXP from clearing the scenario.
"Playing the scenario introduction soon. The game will start immediately after that."
The cutscene appeared before Feng Bujue's eyes. It felt like he was wearing a pair of sunglasses that allowed him to watch a movie. At the same time, the corresponding narration appeared in his ears.
"This is a modern, bustling city, just like all the major cities in the world today. It is filled with skyscrapers, endless traffic, an overloaded population, and polluted air …"
As the narration continued, the image before his eyes played in fast forward, but it was just a normal street scene.
"Until one night, the sun set and never rose again. Behind the drifting dark clouds, the dim moonlight shines on this dead and lonely city.]
The image before Feng Bujue's eyes darkened until it was completely dark. Several seconds later, some light returned. It was the brightness that a dark moon should have. There was still some light in the city, but it was not the brightness that a bustling city should have in the night. Looking down from afar, many stationary vehicles could be seen on the streets of the city, but not a single pedestrian could be seen. There were also no moving objects …
"You open your eyes and realize that you are sitting on the last train that you often take. You will soon realize that the strangers around you and yourself … are the only survivors in this city."
When that sentence entered his ears, Feng Bujue felt his eyes brighten, and his senses returned to normal. The game menu could be opened. It looked like the scenario had started.
He was indeed sitting on a moving train. The scenery outside the window flew by, morphing into horizontal lines. He lifted his head and saw Xiao Tan sitting not far away from him. Unsurprisingly, there were three other passengers in the carriage.
On the left side of Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi, a man and a woman sat in another row. They were both under the age of 20 and looked like they were still students. The boy's face was very pale, and his hair was quite long. To be honest … this style made him look similar to the girl beside him. The two of them were of average height, and their figures were on the thin side. They could be described as handsome men and beautiful women. Judging from their nicknames, there was no doubt that they were a couple. The boy was called "Loneliest When I Miss You", and the girl was called "Loneliest When I Miss You".
In Team Survival Mode, this was the final adjustment time before the game started. It was also the system that provided the conditions for the players to interact. In this environment, the players' IDs were displayed above their heads, and they could see each other. When they left this place, the IDs above their heads would disappear. If they wanted to find out their teammates' names, they would need to open the menu and go to the team tab.
The information that could be seen in the team tab was limited. First, the appearance of the teammates could not be seen in the menu, only their name and level. Second, the status next to it only showed 'Alive' or 'Dead'. As for the Life Points of this person and whether there were any abnormal statuses, it was unclear.
There were five people in this carriage, and there was one more that had not been introduced. He sat in the row opposite Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi.
Even when he was sitting, the man should be at least 1.9 meters tall, and his weight should be around 100 kilograms. Based on his appearance, this big brother was definitely under 30. His face was cold, and the line of his jaw was firm. His shoulders were wide, and his body was V-shaped. Through the long-sleeved T-shirt, one could see the outline of the muscles on his arms.
With this kind of appearance, it was not an exaggeration to call him 'Mr. Sai'. Even though the nerve-connected game allowed the players to modify their appearance in the virtual world, there was a limit to this function. The face could be 'Photoshopped', but the size could not be changed more than eight percent. Any more than that, and there would be problems. For example, if you had a person who was two meters tall use a body that was 1.5 meters tall, he would not be able to adapt.
Therefore, assuming the player was 180 centimeters tall, the upper limit would be 194.4 centimeters, and the lower limit would be 165.6 centimeters. For a person who weighed 60 kilograms, the upper limit could be increased or decreased by 4.8 kilograms. The adjustment of body proportions was a very vague concept. For example … a beer belly could be adjusted to a flatter stomach, but it would not become abs.
Therefore, other than the appearance, the man before them … was most likely still a muscular man in real life. There was a possibility that he had not adjusted his appearance.
After meeting their eyes, the man spoke first. "Let me introduce myself …" He patted his chest. "Long Aomin, just reached level 10."
"I can see that … Nice to meet you," Feng Bujue replied.
Wang Tanzhi asked curiously, "Big brother, is the first part of your nickname part of your name? Is it possible to have such a long name? "
"Oh, that. It's a title. It's given by the system when one reaches level 10," Long Aomin replied. The name above his head was' Long Aomin, the Valiant Vanguard. '
Feng Bujue obviously knew about this setting, and that was why he said 'I can see that'.
"You seem to be very powerful …" Wang Tanzhi said with glowing eyes.
Feng Bujue interrupted. "What do you mean by 'seem to be very powerful'? How can you say that? "He said with a straight face." That is very powerful. "
"Hahaha, you're flattering me. I just played a little longer." Long Aomin laughed. He enjoyed Feng Bujue's compliment.
"Brother Long, you're too humble. I can tell with one glance that you're not someone to be trifled with." Feng Bujue called him 'Brother Long' directly. He was sincerely impressed by someone who dared to use a name like Long Aomin. When he looked at the name, it felt like there was a domineering aura plastered on his face.
Feng Bujue then turned around to address the two students. "Nice to meet you."
"Ah, nice to meet you," the two replied casually. They did not seem to want to talk to the three of them.
In the next few minutes, Feng Bujue chatted with Long Aomin about their gaming experience, and Wang Tanzhi joined in. This was the first day of the closed beta. Actually, they were all new players, and there was much to share.
Long Aomin should not be called Long Aomin; he should be called Guo Dalu. He was a very generous person. He treated people with sincerity and generosity. His sincerity could be heard, seen, and felt. His advice was very pertinent, and he did not show any condescending attitude just because Feng Bujue and Wang Tanzhi were of lower levels.
On the other side, the two lovers were cuddling and whispering to each other in an intimately intimate manner. Some might ask, 'Isn't intimacy prohibited in this game?' However, it was stated earlier that sexual harassment was prohibited, but the two of them were in a consensual situation. Of course, they could not do anything too out of line. At most, they could kiss and hug, but that was not enough to get to second base. In a harmonious society, the game had absolute restrictions on further actions.
It did not take long for the train to slow down until it completely stopped.
The lights in the train station were still on, but there was no sound. Other than the sound of the train moving on its own, there was no announcement.
The door opened, and almost at the same time, all the lights in the train went off.
Ms. Saddest was given a fright and yelped softly. Mr. Loneliest, who was next to her, was startled as well, but he did not make a sound. He merely shivered.
"Ah!!!!"
This scream came from Xiao Tan.
After he finished, Feng Bujue sighed. "If not for the system, I really would have stuck the wrench down your throat." He shook his head and walked out of the train.
Even though the lights in the train were off, it was not completely dark because the lights at the platform were still normal. Wang Tanzhi's scream was truly embarrassing. Mr. Loneliest and Ms. Saddest shot him condescending looks from the bottom of their hearts. Long Aomin resisted the urge to laugh and followed Feng Bujue out of the train with a fake smile.
About ten seconds later, the five arrived at the platform. Feng Bujue looked around and said, "I'll go take a look at the front of the train. Perhaps there's a driver there."
"I don't think we should go alone. How about we all go together?" Long Aomin suggested.
"Sigh, why would we need a driver? That's so troublesome and a waste of everyone's time. Isn't there a level ten big brother here? We'll follow him all the way to the surface. No matter what we see, we'll just kill them all. After all, we'll clear the level, "Mr. Loneliest said.
Feng Bujue could see from the team status that Mr. Loneliest and Ms. Saddest were level seven and six respectively. In any case, they were higher than him and Xiao Tan, so they had more authority.
"Okay then." Feng Bujue agreed just like that. He turned to Long Aomin and asked, "Brother Long, what do you think?"
"No problem, you just follow behind me. If we run into a battle, just lend me a hand." Long Aomin answered easily as he walked up the escalator. "Come with me." When he stood on the steps of the escalator, he took out a shield from his backpack and equipped it on his right wrist.
"Brother Jue? What's going on? " Wang Tanzhi lowered his voice to ask Feng Bujue. He knew Feng Bujue very well. His Brother Jue was not someone who would change his mind because of someone else's words. Furthermore, Mr. Loneliest's suggestion was not brilliant. In fact, it was questionable whether it was correct or not.
"It's nothing. I didn't think the chance of this train having a driver was high, so I just wanted to give it a try." Feng Bujue replied softly. "Since someone is against it … there's no harm in taking a step back on this kind of insignificant disagreement."
As they spoke, they followed Long Aomin to the floor above the escalator. However, the five of them were still inside the train station, and they still needed to go up one floor to return to the surface.
After they came up the escalator, there was a sign that pointed to the various exits and the landmarks that led to the surface. However, that was not important to them. They just needed to find the nearest exit and see what the city was like.
Right then, the system announcement appeared in their ears. "Main quest triggered."
