Chapter 98 City of Hope

Looking at the black screen, Vasily couldn't help but feel empty in his heart.

This game is so realistic that when midnight arrives in the game, the characters are forced to take a rest, and these players are naturally forced to log off.

I didn’t expect that there is such a thing as forced offline.

There was a faint hope in his heart that this would all start again as soon as possible.

And he also understood that he was definitely not the only one who had this idea.

It was almost midnight in Moscow at this time, and players in other regions would probably be in trouble. It should be five o'clock in the morning in China, and it should have just fallen into the night in Eagle Country.

After taking a quick bath, he went to bed, kissed his wife and closed his eyes, but Vasily couldn't sleep.

The game scenes he just experienced were so real that he was moved.

The scene of a nuclear war is completely like hell on earth.

No matter what, we must not let this happen.

Maybe the existence of the dead hand system is a mistake?

It was almost three o'clock in the morning Moscow time before he fell asleep. More than two hours later, Vasily was awakened by the alarm clock and immediately got up and went to the study.

Although he only slept for more than two hours, his desire for games made him not tired at all, but very excited.

After turning on the computer and logging into the game, a new scene immediately appeared in front of me. It seemed that I was forced to log out just to update the game.

The sky was gloomy, as if blocked by a thick curtain, and there was gray snow on the ground.

Looking around, there is no green in the wilderness, only gray.

It was cold, and the temperature of the entire environment was almost twenty degrees lower than before.

Even the refuge they were in was in danger.

From the time they log off to log in again, more than two years have passed in the game.

Nuclear winter continues.

A group of players simply said hello, and it was obvious that many of them looked weak and lacked energy. It was obvious that they had not slept well or had reversed day and night.

At this point, time in the game also begins to speed up.

The shelter they were in had limited resources but too many people. Food was quickly running out, and a fierce conflict finally broke out.

These players naturally belong to the same faction, but the NPCs are divided into several factions, and some soldiers have also merged with the refugees in the past two years and divided into several factions.

A fierce conflict broke out, and in the end, relying on mutual cooperation, the players' faction won. Including those NPC game characters, their faction had almost two hundred people.

More than 700 people from other factions were brutally killed, and the player also lost more than 30 people. They all disappeared and should have returned to the ruins of the city where they started and reborn.

At this time, there was not enough food in the shelter. In order to survive, the players began to live on the dead together with the surviving NPCs.

This strong moral subversion impacts every player. Although this is just a game, they can see the entire process of how the corpses are disposed of.

There are even a lot of close-ups of disembowelment, which is obviously the developer’s bad taste.

After enduring the nausea for a while, the nuclear winter finally passed. News of other remaining human beings came from the distance. It was said that the remaining people wanted to hold a meeting belonging to all mankind to agree on the future direction of human civilization.

Not only people from this land, but also people from other continents, are said to come through radio calls.

After discussion, Vasily and Li Tongchen's team immediately decided to take a look as well.

After all, judging from the news, this should be a main plot.

There are many vehicles in the shelter where they are located, which is considered to be rich in supplies.

Everyone drove there and arrived at a newly built city located in a wilderness.

Everything here is brand new, and the whole city is clean and tidy, as if it is a flower of hope blooming in the wasteland.

As expected, there are also many players here.

In other words, most players have come here.

Those who didn't come basically died on the way there due to accidents.

However, judging from the appearance of these players' game characters, it is obvious that they are not living a very good life.

Many of them are missing arms and legs.

Moreover, although these game characters have relatively strong vitality, their injuries have been difficult to recover from, and their ruined appearance has become increasingly ugly and ferocious.

The same is true for those NPCs. Not many of them are intact, and some of them directly brought deformed babies born after the nuclear war.

But none of this matters anymore, because this meeting will be a meeting of hope that determines the future.

Humanity will usher in a new life.

Time in the game accelerated greatly, and after a few more days in the game, more and more remaining human representatives came from all over the world.

They either came in armored vehicles, came from the sea by boat, or landed in planes at the airport outside the city, as if they wanted to take a look around before the world was completely destroyed.

The remaining humans began to hold formal meetings.

The meeting was held in the stadium of the City of Hope and was called the Hope Meeting. There were many participants, reaching nearly 20,000.

Everyone feels deep disgust and hatred for this global nuclear war.

Several years of miserable survival in nuclear winter have made many people directly develop an instinctive dislike of technology.

Representatives from the Americas and the Western Pacific Islands proposed that the remaining humans return directly to the agricultural era, downgrade technology, and forever avoid the emergence and development of nuclear technology.

This proposal was approved by most NPCs. Even though many players objected, they did not say anything.

After just playing this game for a while, they already felt a kind of depression that was almost suffocating, and the misery was almost unbearable.

And if a person really survives in this kind of apocalypse for a few years, everything he once believed in will probably collapse directly, and it is normal to have hatred for technology.

Moreover, if this agreement in the game can be reached, it will be more likely for human civilization to revive again.

This is also a good thing for them to complete their tasks.

After all, after this contact again, the players discovered through communication that only one of the three major tasks seems to have a clue. Only the nuclear strike has been terminated, and the other two have no clues at all.

Soon, the agreement was finally reached, and a group of surviving human representatives began to sign the "Concord of Hope."

This agreement not only proposed the initiative of technological downgrading, but also declared that from now on, humans will no longer fight against each other and there will be no more wars.

What happened at the meeting was spread around the world via radio waves, and the almost abandoned Morse code once again played its role.

All the players looked at this scene with some relief, as if all this was their personal experience, experiencing an epic scene in human history.

The dark clouds in the sky that had not dispersed for a long time also opened a few gaps at this time, and the sunlight shone down and shone into the stadium where the conference was held, making the players very happy.

Vasily, Li Tongchen and John looked at each other, patted each other on the shoulders, and sighed like old friends for many years.

At this moment, the harsh sound of piercing the sky was heard again in the sky, and then a meteor-like fire ball fell from the sky. In an instant, eight missile warheads separated and fell into various places in the City of Hope.

Towering mushroom clouds rose into the sky, followed by shock waves and scorching fire waves from all directions. The stadium was the center of attack from several nuclear bomb explosions.

The players present looked at each other in shock. Many of them were swallowed up by the ultra-high temperature flames and burned to ashes before they could curse...

"Mother fuker!" A crazy curse came from the office of the director of the Eagle Country CIA headquarters, followed by the sound of the computer being thrown to the ground and the sound of smashing.
