Special procedures?

The word kept repeating in Qi Lin's mind...... According to the Mastermind's instructions, this special program can kill players whose consciousness is immersed in the game world directly through the game pod......

Although the game pod itself does not have the function of killing the player, although the game pod can generate a special kind of radio wave to prompt the player's body to evolve on its own, the frequency of this radio wave is very weak, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the level of death.

So, you want to kill someone in the middle of the game world...... The only way to do it is to use something similar to a parasitic worm!

"Let the player decide for himself that he's dead."

Qi Lin carefully recalled the investigation report on parasitic worms when he was in Nerozsk, and the first batch of players who were brain dead by parasitism, and after repeated scrutiny, he suddenly discovered a very crucial detail.

In fact, players killed by parasitic worms should not have a theoretical mortality rate of 100%.

Because there are always some people with extraordinarily tenacious mental willpower, or simply psychic abilities, their brains are not necessarily confused by virtual pain and illusions, so the main brain cannot induce these people's brains to make the judgment that "I am dead".

And in addition to this, there is a category of people who will not be affected by this special procedure -

That's the madman, the fool, and the severely mentally ill...... The mental state of these people is already very unstable, but it is precisely because of this unstable state that it is difficult for the main brain to intervene in their already chaotic mental world...... These people, most likely, do not even have the concept of death in their brains.

"In other words, this kind of death can actually be artificially avoided......" Qi Lin said thoughtfully to himself as he tapped the table with one hand and his chin with the other.

Qi Lin was still immersed in thinking, but the cold mechanical voice of the main brain once again resounded throughout the sky: "After entering the third stage, the first batch of world-class missions will begin, and the world-class tasks in Asia will find the source of the Kuroshio outbreak and clear it, and those who complete the task will receive a [Golden Serum] as a task reward." ”

"[Golden Serum], an orange quality item, can be injected by anyone, with a 100% success rate of fusion, function: directly allow the injector to be promoted to the level of a fifth-level evolutionary, and can choose the direction of evolution by himself in the process of evolution."

……

Vault 79, meeting room of the headquarters of the Cheng Foundation.

After listening to the secretary read the news about the Mastermind opening the third phase of the wasteland, the entire conference room fell silent for a long time.

The first to break this silence was a middle-aged man with a slightly fat posture, who sat on the second seat after the chairman's position - this is Cheng Yanqiu's uncle, Cheng Su.

"Why would the Mastermind do this! What qualifies it to do that?! Didn't anyone protest from the other consortia? Cheng Su stood up from his seat and slapped the document in his hand on the conference table.

Cheng Dong...... It's not just us, none of the consortiums got the news in advance, and the mastermind sent the notifications to the various consortiums directly after the update was released, and now at this time, I'm afraid the game world has ......," the beautiful female secretary muttered.

"Bastard!! Why is the authority of this broken machine so great? Why do hundreds of millions of us listen to a broken machine? Cheng Su roared, however, in Cheng Yanqiu's eyes, the uncle's behavior was just a manifestation of "incompetent rage".

Yes, the mastermind's authority is very high, but this permission is given to it by human hands.

After the outbreak of nuclear war, the government institutions of various countries were quickly devastated, and even if those political leaders survived, they had long lost their original power - the situation of the country was on the verge of extinction, and at this time, more than 90% of the important resources of human society were in the hands of hundreds of multinational conglomerates and wealthy families around the world.

(Here the author wants to say that many readers have questioned in the book review or in this chapter, saying that the country has perished, why those big conglomerates can still survive - first, the two sides of the war are state and state, and those big conglomerates have hardly participated in the war except for providing paid support to the countries participating in the war, not only have their own strength been preserved to a great extent, but they have also made a huge amount of war money.) After the nuclear war, human society went underground, and although the social order still existed during this period, it was completely different from being on the ground. The politically centered structure of the state is far inferior to the highly centralized big conglomerates and big families in terms of cohesion and other aspects - or for example, if in the future, if war really breaks out and countries like the United States are destroyed, but big families like Rockefeller, Rothschild, DuPont, Morgan and so on will not necessarily disappear, and they can use their powerful economic power to support a new country. ）

Some of these cross-consortiums and wealthy families are cooperative partners, some are business enemies, and of course, more are both.

The complex network of relationships and the principle of the supremacy of interests make it impossible for these multinational conglomerates and wealthy families to continue to fight a nuclear war, and if it continues to fight, there is no profit at all, but will push mankind to the brink of extinction.

At this time, the mastermind was born, and after months of discussion and debate among various multinational consortia and wealthy families, the highest authority to control the order of human society and the operation of the shelter was finally handed over to the mastermind - since no one can trust anyone, simply let this high-IQ AI control the overall situation, and the mastermind will neither favor any side, nor will it seek personal interests for himself, it is simply a perfect controller.

"Rollback, must be rollback! Go and contact those consortia in the alliance, and jointly ask the mastermind to pull back and cancel all today's updates! Cheng Su said.

"Uncle." Cheng Yanqiu finally spoke, "Do you think this is useful?" ”

Cheng Su was stunned for a moment, and then his face instantly became gloomy: "Yanqiu, what do you mean by this?" Since this authority is given to the mastermind, when the mastermind no longer takes care of the interests of our consortium, we should take it back, right? ”

"Heh......" Cheng Yanqiu sneered, the corners of his mouth raised a slight mocking arc, and said, "When did the mastermind ever care about the interests of our consortium?" It just gives us a face, and what the mastermind needs to consider is always just a matter of human survival, and in its eyes, there is essentially no difference between us and those who live in the slums. ”

Cheng Yanqiu was not wrong, in fact, when the "Wasteland Survival Code" was just beginning to be promoted, there were several consortia that resolutely resisted, but the mastermind did not say a word, and directly shut down all the equipment including the oxygen supply pipeline in the shelter where the headquarters of the consortia was located, and within more than a week, the official opposition completely disappeared.

Cheng Yanqiu is a member of the "organization", and his father, the chairman of the Cheng consortium, is also, but Cheng Su, as well as the so-called "directors" in this conference room, are completely unaware of the existence of the "organization", so there are some things that Cheng Yanqiu can only say to this point.

Cheng Su would never have thought that a huge crisis had been brewing silently a few years ago, and now, it was about to reach the moment of maturity.

"You're ......!" Cheng Su's face turned red instantly, then turned into iron blue, pointed at Cheng Yanqiu, and said extremely dissatisfied: "Don't forget your identity, think about all this you have now, who gave it to you?" It's the Cheng consortium, it's the Cheng family! ”

"Forget it," Cheng Yanqiu waved his hand, stood up, turned around and pushed open the door of the conference room.

"Wouldn't it be better that the game world is now very close to what is really going on the ground? …… Anyway, sooner or later, we're going to have to set foot on this land. ”
