Chapter 167 Doomsday

"It doesn't feel good."

Li Ang frowned and rubbed his temples.

Now does seem to be the perfect time for those ancient gods to be resurrected,

The population of the earth has reached its historical peak, and the killing game has further increased the level of mutation, plunging the world into chaos.

It just happens to be able to divert the attention of various countries so that they have no time to worry about other things.

At the same time, countless star gates are gradually opening,

Even if they regard the earth as the main battlefield and start a bloody divine war with each other,

There is also the last way out, "Escape from the Stargate World".

"The worst part is that there are only 72 hours left, so time is too tight.

We can only hope that the Global Occult Alliance will have a targeted plan. "

Li Ang shook his head, and his thoughts quickly swept to the next explanation.

Registration for the third phase of the large-scale event "Battle of Command" will begin seven days after standard time.

All players above Lv25 can participate.

The registration location is the same as last time, located in the center of the game square.

Players need to fill out a form with personal information and put it into a voting cup.

"The level limit is Lv25.

The time limit for registration has been relaxed from the previous sixteen days to one month.

As long as you level up to Lv25 within a month, you will be able to meet the registration requirements.

One month later, the competition officially started. "

Li Ang thought silently,

Like the last battle for the door, this time the battle for command has not explained the schedule and rules for the time being, but has announced the final rewards first.

[Players ranked 500-301 in the final ranking will receive optional perfect quality equipment items*2]

[Players ranked 300-101 will receive 3 optional perfect quality equipment items, or 1 optional epic quality equipment item]

[Players ranked 100-51,

You will get 4 perfect quality equipment props of optional type, or 2 epic quality equipment props of optional type]

[Players ranked 50-21 will receive optional legendary quality equipment items*1]

[Players ranked 20-1 will receive optional legendary quality equipment items*1, as well as a special reward]

"Is this...an epic giveaway of perfect props?

And there are even legendary ones..."

Li Ang was slightly stunned when he looked at the list of rewards. Even if the killing game has developed to this stage, perfect quality props are still not something that is a bad thing.

The epic level is only available to players in the first echelon and a small number of second echelon players.

Now, you only need to reach the top 300 to get an epic item of your choice.

The top fifty will even get legendary quality equipment and props that no one has ever seen before.

Of course, what Li Ang cares about the most is the special reward he can get for ranking in the top twenty.

"The final reward of the last door battle is a private star gate that can open up an entire world.

And what will be the final reward of this battle of command..."

Li Ang groaned, slowly closed the description page, and opened the friend communication.

Not surprisingly, the messages sent by Luozi, Liu Wushao, Xing Hechou and others all related to this version update, especially the Battle of Siming.

After seeing the update instructions, they immediately thought of many possibilities.

Uneasiness, apprehension, and even fear overwhelmed the very small amount of excitement.

If the gods resurrect, not only the lives of ordinary people will suffer a huge impact, but extraordinary beings like them will also be affected.

No one knows the specific status and strength level of the ancient gods, but judging from the energy level of the King Sibi incident, it is not optimistic.

Li Ang replied to them casually and asked Chai Chai to open the web page of the player forum.

Sure enough, the web page was refreshing like crazy.

Every minute and every second, there is a steady stream of new posts, and everyone is discussing the content of the version update.

Chai Chai frowned and muttered, "Why does it feel like the end of the world is coming?"

"If it's not handled well, it will really be the end of the world."

Li Ang sighed, casually said "I'm going to the world of Menmen", left the Longqing cruise ship, and dived towards the deep sea.

————

In the conference room of the Special Affairs Bureau building, the decision-makers from the Yin City stronghold gathered in the conference room.

Hold remote holographic projection meetings with senior members of other strongholds.

"...I propose to start the XK-class apocalypse prevention process now."

Bai Hao, who is already the deputy director of the Yin City Branch, pursed his lips tightly and said in a deep voice: "This version update of the killing field game will dynamically increase the intensity of regular tasks.

In other words, the country and the world will usher in a wave of more serious large-scale changes.

Abnormal events that were originally Level 1 warnings will be upgraded to Level 2.

Level 2 is upgraded to level 3, level 3 is upgraded to level 4...

We were able to suppress abnormal incidents across the country before because we had enough manpower.

In addition to training mobile task forces and hiring bounty hunters,

They also trained ordinary soldiers on a large scale and equipped them with weapons and equipment with extraordinary elements.

But if the mutation level is fully improved, our ordinary soldiers will not be able to deal with the overly complex mutation situation, which will cause large-scale casualties. "

"XK-level doomsday prevention program..."

A senior cadre of the Special Affairs Bureau from Sichuan and Chongqing took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Comrade Bai, do you know what this means?

We will be forced to give up more than 70% of the earth's territory and transfer most ordinary people to the world of Menmen.

Semi-permanently abandoning the settled state of Earth..."

"I know."

Bai Haozheng nodded solemnly. The Special Affairs Bureau had formulated preventive procedures for various large-scale mutations long before the battle for the door.

In addition to the regular 12345 mutation classification, there are also the most serious K-class mutations, which are horrific mutations that have apocalyptic effects on the real world.

XK-level doomsday mutations refer to mutations within the scope of human understanding.

It can be classified as XK-level α-type doomsday, which refers to a large-scale nuclear war that has severely damaged human civilization. The earth's environment has been changed beyond recovery and is no longer suitable for human habitation.

XK-class γ-type doomsday refers to the mutation in which the doomsday scenarios described in religious or mythological stories become reality.

For example, the great flood that destroyed everything in the Bible, the ten plagues of Egypt (the river turned to blood, and the eldest son of all families died), the collapse of Buzhou Mountain in Eastern mythology caused the sky to collapse, and the Twilight of the Gods in Nordic mythology that caused the entire world to sink underwater.

In addition, there are XK-level apocalyptic mutations, vacuum decay, mass extinction and other categories.

On top of this, there are AK-level doomsday mutations of memetic infection (human beings are collectively infected by memes and forget their ability to breathe), and EK-level doomsday mutations that end human consciousness (human consciousness is collectively replaced or corrupted).

This is not some fantasy,

For example, the mirage mutation that could quietly replace reality,

The strange mutation of King Shengnan that can drag people into a collective dream,

The mutation of King Shibi that can squeeze out the faith and will of mankind.

These abnormal events can all be included in the scope of the most dangerous mutations.

If they were slightly upgraded, with expanded range and enhanced effectiveness,

It can easily cause casualties measured in "millions".

100% included in the K-class mutation category.

"The killing game will increase the intensity of all mutations.

Once that happens, we have absolutely no ability to maintain order. "

Bai Haozheng said a little tiredly: "I won't mention those few particularly serious mutations.

Do you still remember the 4-1201 incident last year?

All provinces across the country have experienced reality-distorting mutations using telephones as carriers.

After ordinary people connect the phone, they will hear content that sounds like normal telecommunications fraud, such as bank cards being restricted and frozen due to overseas purchases.

Once the answering time exceeds 15 seconds, the content of the telecom fraud will directly come true.

On a practical level, his bank card is frozen and cannot be unfrozen through conventional means - no matter how hard the bank tries, it cannot.

In the beginning, these were just wire scams;

But soon, the harsh nature of reality distortion escalated linearly.

After hearing the news on the phone that ‘my son and daughter have been in a car accident and are being rescued in the hospital, and they need to transfer money as soon as possible’, within 15 seconds, the person mentioned on the phone was bound to be hit by a car accident.

After hearing the news on the phone that "a friend accidentally fell from a building and is being rescued in the hospital and needs to transfer money as soon as possible", within 15 seconds, the person mentioned on the phone will inevitably fall from a height.

In just one week, tens of thousands of casualties were caused in various cities with a huge geographical span.

Even the monitoring department of the Mobile Task Force failed to discover this at the beginning - from ordinary police officers to players in the Mobile Task Force,

Everyone's will has been twisted,

So that no one felt anything was wrong.

If the Hetu Formation hadn't noticed the anomaly, the mutation might still be raging silently to this day. "

Bai Haozheng paused for a moment and said slowly: "This is just a less lethal type of large-scale mutation.

If mutations like Mirage Dragon and Shengnan King are upgraded,

I'm sure that within a month we will lose control of the situation,

By then, it will no longer be a matter of losing living space;

We will lose our villages, our cities, our provinces. "

"..."

In the holographic projection in the conference room, the decision-makers sitting in a circle were silent.

It’s not that they don’t know how terrifying that future would be,

But if the XK-level doomsday prevention procedures are followed, it will also have an irreversible impact on the social order of the real world.

"We don't even know what the exact XK-class apocalypse scenario is right now,"

A senior official from the Special Affairs Bureau said slowly: "It could be memetic infection, it could be reality distortion, or it could be physical collapse.

There are so many things that could happen. "

"Then take precautions according to the worst case scenario,"

Bai Haozheng said in a deep voice: "The essence of the mutation is a series of abnormal events.

There are many types of abnormal events surrounding abnormal objects.

Only by fully defending against all possible situations can we ensure that the worst situation does not happen. "

"All defense?"

The senior executives frowned.

Of course they know that what Bai Haozheng said about all defenses does not mean guarding against every potential scenario.

Instead, the vast majority of the citizens will be moved to the door world.

After this period of exploration and research, the Special Affairs Bureau and the Abnormality Society finally determined that the door world is relatively safe.

In the door world, the possibility of mutation will plummet to about 12% of that in the real world.

In other words, as long as the vast majority of the people are transferred to the door world, there is no need to worry about out-of-control mutations.

However, the reduction of mutation probability also means the reduction of player qualifications.

The probability of selecting ordinary residents of the Gate World to become players in the Killing Fields game is only 12% of that in the real world.

Once the migration is completed, the player's growth rate will plummet.

In the long run, it is definitely not conducive to the expansion of the scale of extraordinary people.

There were discussions in the conference room.

“If there is a large-scale migration, security can be guaranteed, but what about the future?

Player qualifications are the most valuable resource. Losing the player growth rate means losing future development potential. "

“But if we don’t move, what if the worst case scenario happens, as Comrade Bai said?

Another upgraded version of the Nanwang incident may even result in tens of millions of missing persons! ! "

"What about the equipment research and development department? What did they say? Is it possible, while relocating all the original people,

Continue to ensure the smooth addition of player qualifications? "

"You mean the cloning project? No, that technology is not mature enough to guarantee the large-scale production of cloned organisms.

Moreover, that technology is still in the review stage of the ethics committee.

If we want to use the cloning plan to balance the new player rate,

The details and necessity of the technology must be openly explained to the public.

Otherwise this is serious deception. "

"Perhaps we can only relocate a part of the people and retain ten city buildings on the original land. In that case, we can retain a population of 110 million on the earth without zeroing out the new player qualification rate... .”

"But there are so many city buildings. If we explain it to the people, the vast majority of people will definitely want to move to the Door World to have a stable and peaceful life."

"How about adopting a voluntary recruitment mechanism? People who are willing to stay on Earth can live in the city building. Those who are unwilling to stay on Earth can move to the Gate World..."

"In that case, we must consider the attitude of the Global Occult Alliance and other countries. Large-scale migration means abandoning the earth and allowing abnormal events to wreak havoc in our territory. It is also disrespectful to other people in the world. responsibility."

"There is also the Prisoner's Cave to consider. If the Killing Fields game improves the mutations around the world, the Prisoner's Cave is likely to evolve again. According to reports from the frontline exploration team, Killing Fields game selections have begun to appear in the Prisoner's Cave There are demons who have been promoted, and players have also appeared among them..."

The sound of discussion echoed throughout the conference room. This was only the first stage of the discussion.

This version update of the Killing Fields game determines the fate of human civilization.

Any measures must be taken cautiously and cautiously.

It is necessary to search for intelligence, collect all the information possible, combine it with the opinions of the public in think tanks, and then make a difficult final decision.

The process is cumbersome and the task is heavy,

Even half a year is not enough.

But now, there are only 72 hours.
