Chapter One The Third Team/Chen Dongqing Line
I was awakened by a ray of light. When I woke up, I felt a cold body and couldn't help but tremble. When I climbed up, I found that I was lying on a military folding bed. The folding bed didn't even have a mattress or bedding, just a cold iron wire bed, so I felt so cold that my bones were frozen.
My head was dizzy, and I held my forehead and Xiao Chen's face appeared in my mind.
The last scene I still remember is in an underground emergency nuclear bomb shelter. Xiao Chen punched me with a punch, and then I didn't know anything.
Thinking of Xiao Chen, my chest was like a volcano erupting, and my fury became aroused.
I jumped out of the bed, but saw Xiao Chen standing not far from me, wearing his brown long-sleeved shirt. Seeing him, I wanted to rush towards him and teach him a lesson. I didn't forget what he did to my father and Jiang Xueqing.
Jiang Xueqing ate her father and mother...
"Xiao Chen, you beast!" I waved my fist angrily and hit him in the face, but to my surprise, when my fist was one inch away from Xiao Chen's face, Xiao Chen shook his hand at an astonishing speed and steadily blocked my fist with his palm. What's even more strange is that in the next second, Xiao Chen's wrist rotated in the direction of me like a rubber band, and my wrist bone was also forced to be pushed upwards. The pain made my whole arm feel sore and numb, and my strength was removed.
Xiao Chen let go of his hand, and I took two steps back, touching my numb arms in disbelief. It was power of a zombie virus. It was obvious that with my attack power, I could beat Xiao Chen to a disabled person with one punch, but why can't I use my strength to use all my strength now?
I looked at my hands that became as soft and weak as before, but as soon as I looked up, I saw Xiao Chen's face, the anger in my heart burned again. I rushed towards Xiao Chen again with my toes, but I was still stopped by him with one hand in the same way. And this time, Xiao Chen poked my chest with his fingers. I felt like my body was hit hard by an iron rod, and I staggered back a few steps.
"Are you surprised?" Xiao Chen twisted his arm, and his sarcastic hair was covered with gloomy eyes, "Do you really think you are the real master of the mother insect?"
I was stunned and said in surprise:
"What's the meaning?"
A smile touched the corner of Xiao Chen's lips:
"Chen Dongqing, the owner of the mother's body was not you since the beginning, and I have always been me. I just let the mother's body cooperate with your thoughts to make various changes. I am the owner of the mother's body of the zombie virus. What you ate that day was just a viral body that was second-level than the mother's body. Although the authority was higher than the general virus, it was not a mother's body. If not, would you think I would let you, the captain with the authority of the Book of the World, participate in such a dangerous action?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen's words surprised me, and a feeling of anxiety filled my heart.
"Your body also has zombie viruses, but that's just a general level, and my mother is president level. All your actions and thinking will be fed back to me by the viral body in your body, so I can control your body in reverse. If it weren't for me, with your imagination, how could you turn into suction cup hands and wings during the battle?" Xiao Chen looked at me with a very sarcastic look, but his words really gave me a heavy blow.
When I was thinking about my previous actions, I solved all the soldiers in the military region with amazing combat power. I was still complacent that I became stronger. But was all this just a remote operation performed by Xiao Chen thousands of miles away?
"Chen Dongqing, Chen Dongqing, you are too young." Xiao Chen looked at me with an expression like an elder looking at a child, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.
A sense of powerlessness permeated my heart. This man was like a demon... Could it be that from beginning to end, I was always in his calculations? Could it be that I have never escaped from his palm once? Jiang Xueqing, Teacher Cao Hongli, Han Shaofeng, Tong Dawei, and Tong Xinyi, who is younger than us, are they just his pawns?!
I rushed up frantically, punching him one by one, but he easily reached out and swung my boxing again and again like he swung the dust from the window.
After only ten punches, I gave up because Xiao Chen didn't take me seriously at all. We were not on the same level at all. In his eyes, maybe I was just a ridiculous child.
A strong sense of powerlessness filled my heart. I retreated dejectedly, opened the distance between me and Xiao Chen, and looked at him tiredly.
"Why didn't you kill me?" I gritted my teeth. Although this sentence made me feel disappointed, I couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you kill me? Can you do anything? Why do you keep us? Is it to mock our IQ? Or do I think it's fun to do this? What did you treat all humanity? What did you make Jiang Xueqing?!" I took a deep breath, trembling all over.
"Trump." Xiao Chen said lightly, "You are trash, everyone is."
Every word Xiao Chen felt like a needle piercing into my heart.
"Of course I am too." Xiao Chen said, "But garbage does not mean it is worthless, but my value is a little higher than you. You are the captain, and if you kill you, the world will be destroyed. This is the reason why I keep your life."
"With your ability... you can completely take away my captain's authority, and you can also take away my book of the world... Haven't you taken it away?"
"Do you think I haven't tried it?" Xiao Chen sneered, "If it weren't for the way I could control your spirit to take away your captain's authority, would you think I would keep you until now? During your coma, I had already manipulated your thoughts and asked you to hand over the captain's authority. However, it seems that it is not the boundary between captain's authority under the leadership of free and rational will, and Miyako did not admit it. This is the rule of the game."
Xiao Chen's words made me awake. At least, my life is my own, so in other words, I still maintain the most basic deterrence to Xiao Chen. At least, he dare not let me die, and I can also use my life as the last bargaining chip to threaten him.
"Where is my dad? Where is Jiang Xueqing?" I asked coldly.
"Their psychological and physical conditions are not ideal. If you are really worried about them, it's better not to disturb them. Jiang Xueqing is taken care of by Han Shaofeng, and there is no room for you to intervene. When you were running outside, Han Shaofeng was always by her side to comfort her. You have no chance anymore, and..." Xiao Chen said calmly, then paused, "The world's strategy is about to be completed."
Just as Xiao Chen finished speaking, he took out a pitch-black communication machine from his crotch, and a man's voice came from the other end of the communication machine:
"The completion degree has reached 99.67%, and there is a trend of acceleration. It is expected to reach 100% within three hours."
"I understand. Keep reporting." Xiao Chen put away the communication machine, and then pointed his depressed and indifferent face at me again.
"Where did you hide the Book of the World?" I asked.
"Hide in a very safe and tight place. Most people can't get in. The only person who knows the place is me." Xiao Chen said, "I arranged for specialized personnel who were controlled by me to monitor every movement of the book for 24 hours and report it to me every hour. This will ensure that the book will not fall into the hands of outsiders and minimize the risk of uncertainty."
I stared at Xiao Chen, but I didn't expect that he had achieved this level in order to keep the Book of World. This not only ensured the safety of Book of World, but also ensured that our freedom of movement would not be restricted due to the whereabouts of Book of World. This man was so terrible. His thoughts were too meticulous, and he treated all of us as his puppets and played with them in the palm of his hand like a magician.
"How many days have I been in a coma?" I felt a weak feeling in my body, and then I realized that I was probably in a coma for more than a day or two.
"One week." Xiao Chen said simply, "The zombie virus has basically spread to the world with the eruption of Yellowstone Volcano. However, because the specific movement of the atmosphere and global monsoon is a discrete dynamic system, the wind direction under the chaotic state is extremely uncertain. Due to the influence of the sinking airflow of the Cascaratan Mountains in the western United States, the cold currents in North America and the winter cyclones along the Pacific coast, the early spread rate of the zombie virus is slightly later than I expected. But the result is still unchanged."
Xiao Chen settled down, looked at me with dark eyes and said:
"If you wake up a few hours later, you may have finished the guide."
My heart pounded.
Terrible. This devil-like man is really scary and crazy.
I clenched my fists tightly, but I didn't know how to fight him. If it was really as he said, the control of the virus mother was already in his hands, I would have no possibility of hurting him at all.
"I advise you to go and eat something, otherwise your body will not be able to stand it." Xiao Chen said.
"Haha, my body is full of zombie viruses. Didn't you say that these things can reproduce infinitely. I still need to eat?" I said to Xiao Chen in a sarcastic tone.
"Silly." Xiao Chen said disdainfully, "Zombie viruses can indeed increase infinite value, but that is under the premise of conscious control. If you do not eat, or your brain consciousness dissipates, the zombie viruses will not unite together to form basic elements to form your human body, and they will only collapse around."
I was stunned. It was true that this was true. Although the zombie virus can infect a person in an instant, if it leaves the body, it will lose its activity and will not reproduce infinitely. It is like water encountering a tissue, and it will be transmitted immediately along the tissue. However, when the tissue is not touched, the water randomly spreads in all directions.
"Haha, don't care about my life or death, you bastard. Turn the humans in the world into zombies, and then tell me that you are doing this for all human beings? Let me die for me like you hypocrites." I rebuked angrily.
"How many people have you killed, you can calculate it yourself!"
Xiao Chen could not see any emotion in his dark eyes:
"I can't turn humans into zombies, but under the rules of the God game, can you find other strategies? Humans perish, everything is zeroed, and humans continue, whether they maintain human form or become monsters, at least there is a possibility of rebuilding civilization. None of the humans today will be grateful to me, but the new humans who survive a hundred years will naturally recognize my contribution today."
I sneered:
"It's better to die than to become a monster! Why do you make a decision for all human beings? Why do you have this power? If all human beings choose to destroy them all rather than become zombies? And, why do you think you can win other teams to win this game of God?"
Xiao Chen looked at me sarcastically and said:
"You don't need to worry too much about this. I have used statistical methods to quantify and arrange 10 million groups of 50 people to conduct human nature experiments through large-sample randomized double-blind controlled trials around the world. The moral problems of Colberg and Richard Parker are no longer a problem for me. I have completely solved all the problems of human nature and ethics. My test results have shown that in extreme cases, human beings tend to be selfish. 42% of people will take selfish behavior, 40% of people will take harmless behaviors of waiting for death, and only 18% of people will take altruistic behaviors. From the statistical results of this survey, I can also analyze the moral psychological bias and game modes that the other six teams participating in the God Game will adopt. As long as I understand this and make a group psychological modeling analysis, I am already 80% sure to win this God Game."
Xiao Chen’s remarks shocked me, and even made me feel breathless. Use people from all over the world to experiment with human nature? What does this person treat human beings as? Is it just a guinea pig?!
"What did you do?" I shouted in shock. "Did you treat humans as experimental subjects?"
Xiao Chen smiled coldly: "What's so strange? In essence, humans and guinea pigs are the same. Will humans feel compassion when experimenting with guinea pigs? We are the same. We want to be God's people, so there is no need to think too much about low-level living things like humans."
My fists had already started to tremble. If it weren't for the soreness in my arms that reminded me, I would have rushed up and fought with Xiao Chen. "How did you do the experiment?" I asked vigilantly.
"It's very simple. Humans are a kind of creature that seeks profit and avoids harm, so the conditions for experiments are nothing more than interests and threats." Xiao Chen walked to a corner of the room, took a blue binder from a steel table, and threw it to me from a distance. When I opened it, I found that it was all filled with various experimental data of Xiao Chen.
"Divide 500 million living people in the world who still have consciousness into 10 million groups, with each group of fifty people, tell them that I will kill them in a week. The way to escape death is to fight each other between fifty people in each group to determine seven victories. Those seven people can not only survive, but also gain some of my power to manipulate other people infected by zombies... Yes, it's like God's power. I did the same thing as Miyako, but my sample is larger, the scope is wider, the dimension is more, and the time is not a month, but a week... I have surpassed Miyako."
Beyond Miyako...
These five words gave me a great impact. Miyako is a female madman, but Xiao Chen is a person who is even more terrifying and crazy than Miyako. Is it really worth using the power of another madman to deal with a madman? Is it really worth it to use the power of another madman? I can no longer imagine what the world will become after everything is over. Even if we win the God game, what is left to wait for me? Countless ruins, nuclear explosions, and zombies roaming around the world? I will almost go crazy if I think about such a world just by thinking about it.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I rushed towards Xiao Chen like crazy, but he rose and fell gently, then jumped back five meters. He and I were no longer on the same level of ability, and would never cause any threat or harm to him.
Because I hadn't eaten for a few days, my brain was dizzy. Xiao Chen rushed forward and kicked me hard on my abdomen, kicking me back to the bed. If it weren't for the moment when I landed, a large amount of meat appeared on the surface of my body and wrapped my body, making my body extremely hard, otherwise I might have vomited blood three times.
"You can't win me." Xiao Chen said in a sarcastic tone, "And if you kill me, you will only bring all mankind into the abyss and die with me. Is this what you hope? You say I am a demon and a madman, then what you are doing now is even more crazy than a demon?"
I trembled again, and my head calmed down as if a basin of cold water was poured on my head. I struggled to get up from the bed and looked at Xiao Chen with a look like a murderer. In Xiao Chen's information, I clearly saw the experimental statistics of the number of people killed in the group. This madman actually made people from all over the world kill each other. I couldn't imagine what those killed and those who killed were thinking at that time...
"Do you want to know what kind of people survive in the human nature experiment?" Xiao Chen said lightly, "Look at the information yourself. People without cruelty can't survive in the cruel competition for survival. Don't think that pacifist ideas will protect you. Under this rule of the game, there is no chance."
I lowered my head and looked at the binder that fell on the ground, my heart was bleeding.
"I said from the beginning that I am a pragmatist and an unscrupulous person. As long as I can win, any kind of behavior is just a tool. Airplanes, ships, trains, and even ox-pulls can take you to the destination you want, and I just chose the most efficient one." Xiao Chen stood there, the ceiling light above his head illuminated his face pale, and his deep eye sockets made him look like a skeleton.
"According to my humanity experiment, only eighteen percent of people will adopt altruism in extreme cases, and switch to the seven teams in the first battle zone of God Game. In other words, only one team will adopt this Virgin altruism strategy. For the other six teams, it is very likely that about four teams are extremely self-interested strategies. The two teams adopt a passive and permanent strategy, and adopt a waiting-to-death strategy that is neither radical nor passively opposed to the God Game. Chen Dongqing, you are the captain of the Virgin type, and the other five people in the team are similar, so I can basically conclude that there will be basically no captain as cowardly as you in the other six teams."
Xiao Chen's words completely destroyed my last self-confidence. A strong sense of frustration stirred up my chest. I pounded the bed frantically, punched the floor and punched the ground with heavy punches, knocking out spider-web-like cracks. Why am I so incompetent? Why can't I do anything? What's the point of living?
Why? Why!?
I roared angrily, squatted in front of the bed, biting the sheets with my teeth, tearing the pillows into pieces, and I threw the cotton tidals in the cotton core out of them, flying all over the sky.
Xiao Chen just looked at me calmly, neither stopping me nor teaching me a lesson. I hit the pillow hard on his face, and he didn't dodge. The soft pillow slid down his thin cheeks.
I remembered Jiang Xueqing who was forced to mentally collapsed by Xiao Chen, but now it was my turn to mentally collapsed. I think there are far more than me in this world who are driven crazy by Xiao Chen. I really want to kill him... But in the deepest part of my heart, there was a voice that pestered me like a devil, telling me that I can't kill him...
Xiao Chen looked at me quietly. I took off all the things that could be removed on the bed and smashed them towards Xiao Chen one by one, but he was indifferent. When my brain began to dizzy, Xiao Chen forced me to inject glucose solution. After that, I was in a semi-coma and semi-awake state, curled up in the corner of the wall, watching Xiao Chen playing lightly in front of a piano in the open shelter room.
It's like there are only two of us left in the world.
I don't know where this piano comes from, but when the gentle and ethereal piano sounds, every syllable shakes my heart.
Unexpectedly, this is the final scene of the countdown before the end of the world: one person is playing the piano selflessly, and the other person is huddling in the corner and listening foolishly.
Time flies. I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Chen’s communication machine received the message again:
"The completion degree has reached more than 99:99%. It is expected that there will be a last minute to complete the strategy."
"I have a guess." Xiao Chen closed his eyes and calmed his spirit. He replied simply, but did not stop the rhythm of playing the piano in his hand. His fingers were extremely flexible and delicate, and all the songs were rippling under his hands like flowing water. Such a demon-like man could play such beautiful and artistic music, which was simply unbelievable.
I raised my head little by little from my arms, looked at Xiao Chen, who was playing freely in front of the piano with his body bent, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"What kind of piano piece is this?"
Xiao Chen glanced at me with the dark eyes in his circle and said:
"Variation of "God is a Girl". The famous song of the German Groovecoverage band."
As he finished speaking, Xiao Chen pressed the last key on the piano keyboard, and his smatter-like hair flew up and down with the movement of his hands high.
The light and agile keys trembled my heart, and in the next second, the whole world turned into darkness.
Chapter completed!
