Chapter 5 The Fourth Disaster
Chapter 5 The Fourth Disaster
Cattle and Horses Management Discussion Group.
This is a small group of only four people.
The group leader is Baijuguoxi, and the group members are three cattle and horses from the next group – in other words, dog management: getting up more than ten times a night, eight-level strong winds, and there is a long way to go. Ye Shi
: [Have you all received the helmets? ? ? ]
Lao Bai: [Received… This weird thing was thrown directly at my door. ]
Fang Chang: [I found it at the garage door…]
Kuangfeng: [I found it on my desk… I thought it belonged to a colleague. ]
Ye Shi: [None of you are as weird as me, this package was delivered directly to my dormitory! My three roommates were all there, and none of them saw how this thing was delivered! And the weirdest thing, I don’t know if you have noticed, you can see a countdown when you put on the helmet, but other people can’t see anything. ]
The group was strangely quiet for a while.
The first to break the silence was the group leader Baijuguoxi.
Lao Bai: […Now that you put it that way, it is indeed a bit weird. 】
Fang Chang: 【What kind of game company is so powerful that it not only knows our address, but can also deliver the package to us without anyone noticing? 】
Kuangfeng: 【Well, this is what I care about the most. The address is easy to say. If we use the IP address of the link we clicked, it is theoretically possible to analyze our location in reality. But logistics… I can’t figure it out. I am in Jinling, and Ye Shi, I remember, studied in Jiangcheng. There is a difference of 500 kilometers between us, but we found that we received the helmets almost at the same time. 】
Ye Shi: 【Yes… and it was not long after we clicked the link. 】
Lao Bai: 【Fuck, should we call the police? 】Fang
Chang: 【There is no property loss, and the police will probably have a hard time handling it. And the problem is, what are you going to tell the police? Was the courier sent to the wrong place? Is there something wrong with the helmet? Except for me, other people can’t see anything when they wear it. 】
Kuangfeng: 【Well, this is the biggest problem. It is difficult to explain to others what this thing is. I tried it before, and put my phone in while putting on the helmet, but I could clearly see things, but my phone couldn’t take any pictures. 】
Kuangfeng is a teacher in real life, teaching science, and speaks in a more organized way. This statement was also unanimously agreed by Fang Chang and Lao Bai.
Ye Shi: [How about… let’s take the helmet apart and see? ]
Kuangfeng: [It’s not impossible to do so, but it’s risky. At least I didn’t find a place to disassemble it. If it is disassembled violently, it is difficult to guarantee that the helmet can be put back. ]
Fang Chang: [Indeed, we can’t cheat A Guang. ]
Being able to put this helmet at the door of his garage with magical powers, he has begun to believe what the brother with the ID called Guang said.
Maybe this company is a mysterious research institute supported by state agencies?
Whatever it is, at least for now, they have not suffered any losses. And he himself is also very interested in fully immersive VR games.
The countdown successfully aroused his interest.
Kuangfeng: [I privately chatted with Brother Guang on Penguin, but he hasn’t replied to my message yet. The URL of the official website doesn’t look like a domestic website, and it doesn’t even look like the domain name of a normal website. I can’t find its registration information. ]
Ye Shi: [Dark web? ! 】
Kuangfeng: [Not sure. ]
Lao Bai: [Let’s leave it at that for now, there’s no point in discussing it. After all, we can confirm what the helmet is like in three days! ]
…
While the players were discussing, Chu Guang, who was in the wasteland, was still busy making final preparations.
5 kg of green wheat and some iron tools.
Chu Guang took a lot of effort to move these things from Bate Street to the wetland park three kilometers away without attracting attention.
Shelter No. 404 is hidden underground in this park, and the entrance is in an unremarkable sanatorium. There are
many vegetation here, and it is close to the lake. In theory, there should be a lot of wild animals active in this area.
After approaching here, Chu Guang was very careful, guarding against possible dangers around.
Fortunately, no accident happened.
After checking the mark made at the entrance of the sanatorium to confirm that no aliens or predators had slipped in while he was away, Chu Guang stretched out the pointed water pipe in his hand to push open the door and walked in carefully.
The entrance to Shelter 404 is the elevator at the innermost part of the sanatorium hall. Only that elevator has the B1 floor logo on its dial.
Chu Guang went down first and threw the food in the corridor between the elevator base and the airlock door outside the buffer room.
This is an open space, about forty or fifty meters from the surface.
To be honest, this is not a very suitable place to store food, but it is better to put it here than in the sanatorium, where it will be targeted by passing rats or mutant cockroaches.
Pass through the two airlock doors of the buffer room.
Chu Guang walked into the hall and said to Xiao Qi squatting in the corner.
”Has the forum function of the official website been developed?”
”It’s done.”
”What about the players? Have they received their helmets?”
”Yes, they have.”
So fast?
Chu Guang was slightly surprised.
He remembered that he left the shelter at six in the morning, and it was only about one in the afternoon, with only seven hours in between.
”Does the time in the wasteland really flow 1:1 with the time in modern society?”
”Of course, but the time here is equivalent to the West 4 time zone on Earth.”
China in the present world is in the East 8 time zone, and the time difference with the West 4 time zone is about twelve hours, which means that it is now one o’clock in the morning in the eastern part of China.
Chu Guang sat in front of the computer and logged into the official website.
Xiao Qi followed his instructions and added a forum function to the official website, but there is no traffic at present, so naturally there is no post.
The same is true for the database and the illustrations.
”How can I upload the photos here?” Chu Guang pointed to the gallery on the screen and said.
”Just upload it directly.”
”…I mean, how can I take pictures. Or do you have a camera or something?” It’s
ridiculous that there is no hair on the entire B1 floor of such a large shelter.
Not to mention leaving some weapons for yourself, you have to prepare some basic survival tools, right?
”Well, there is probably no camera, but my camera can help you take pictures… What kind do you want to take? Is it here?”
Looking at the robot that looks like a wastebasket in the corner, Chu Guang sighed and said.
”It’s no use shooting here… Forget it, I’ll think of a way myself.”
You can’t catch the aliens here.
However, you can consider taking Xiao Qi outside.
Most aliens are not interested in the inedible iron lumps. A little disguise and sticking it on the roof as an eye is simply a housekeeping artifact!
The more Chu Guang thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
He logged into Penguin through the computer in the resident hall.
Chu Guang found that the four players had sent him private messages, asking him which company he worked for, what exactly a fully immersive game meant, and what a gaming helmet was.
To be honest, Chu Guang didn’t know how to answer their questions, and it was impossible to tell them the real situation of this world.
Only by making them believe that this is a game world.
They can come as the “fourth disaster”, fearless and hardworking, and become his strongest tool.
”Master.”
”What’s wrong?”
Looking at Chu Guang who turned off the computer and stood up from his chair, Xiao Qi, who was squatting in the corner, asked curiously.
”Don’t you need to reply to their messages?”
”No need.”
The more you explain, the more loopholes there are. It’s better to just say it’s a corporate secret or a state secret.
As for the rest?
Let them guess.
Otherwise, what is the purpose
of having a brain? Isn’t it for imagination?
