First Player

Chapter · "Su Lin dyed her hair white overnight."

The wound on the back of Su Mingan's neck has been sutured, and a piece of core energy lies in Su Lin's hand.

"After the operation, you will be a little weak. Remember to come to me every day for infusion of life-sustaining energy. When Kaiusta is over, you will be able to get rid of this body." Su Lin said.

"...Thank you." Su Mingan said.

He took a look at the barrage. The content was quite normal. It seemed that Su Lin did nothing sinister while he was unconscious.

[Ah, Ming An is awake! You are already a girl! 】

[Today is New Year’s Eve. How about we read New Year’s greetings in the live broadcast room together? 】

[We can use text to broadcast the Dragon Kingdom New Year’s Party. This year’s party has invited many big names to perform using the virtual scene architecture system of the world game. It will definitely be exciting. 】

[Why does Rin-chan never do live broadcasts? Rin-chan! ! Who do you usually look at through Su Ming'an's eyes? You're looking at me, right? (The reddish eyes are full of accusations, the teeth are biting the lower lip, the upturned fox eyes are filled with tears, and he sighs resentfully.jpg)]

[My evaluation is that Su Lin is not as good as Lin Guang, Bai Mao plus 10,000 points. 】

[Su Lin saw it and immediately dyed her hair white overnight. 】

[Ming'an, look at me~ (Appears with a rose in his mouth) (Stung in the mouth by a rose) (Flees in a hurry)]

[I’m so anxious that I can’t deliver Lu Shu’s message, Lu Shu*****]

[This is the first time I regret being separated from Su Mingan by a world. In fact, my biggest regret is knowing him through a screen. 】

…

Only then did Su Ming'an realize that today was New Year's Eve.

The dungeon opens on the fourteenth day, January 31, 2024. After tonight, it will be the Lunar New Year.

Although the time on Zhai Star has permanently stayed in 2023 for humans in the World Game, they have already experienced four months.

He had hoped for a good New Year just a few days ago. But looking at the current direction, it is estimated that the world will still refuse to let him go.

The threat of Lin Guang's psychosis, the nuclear explosion that may occur at any time, the targeting of Tredia in the doomsday city, the covetous gaze of Tavi, and the hidden Edward and other players... these are all problems.

He suddenly saw Su Lin lowering her head to eat something.

"What are you doing?" he said.

When Su Lin looked up, he realized that Su Lin was just staring down at the energy source in his hand.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just observing the energy of this energy source. This is a thank you gift to me." Su Lin said.

Su Mingan looked away. He almost thought that Su Lin had been invaded and was chewing his hand because of his abnormal mind. It turns out that Su Lin's "upgrade" relies on energy.

Su Lin wiped her fingers and suddenly said:

"Even if human beings really ascend mechanically one day, as long as the essence of the soul is still human, it will be human. What really determines whether you are a human being or not is your soul."

"Huh?" Su Mingan raised his eyes.

"In my eyes, it has nothing to do with appearance, only soul. All existences are independent. You are completely different from Akto." Su Lin said: "Your soul is unique."

Su Lin's words really made Su Mingan think a little clearer.

The sense of immersion in this world is too strong, and the remaining emotional empathy in Akto's body is extremely serious. When he heard the live broadcast of Tredia's near-sentence, he felt a deep sadness. Akto's emotions wrapped around him like gangrene in his bones.

The dungeon structure is becoming more and more realistic, and sometimes, in order to speculate on the plot development of the characters, he will actively immerse himself in it.

As "Actor's bionic body", his actions are completely negated, and he will feel a little frustrated. This is inevitable and has nothing to do with personal rationality.

Su Mingan asked: "You said you can see the color of the soul, then what is the color of my soul?"

Su Lin was silent for a while: "It's the same color as mine."

"What color is that?" Su Mingan asked.

Su Lin didn't answer, but raised her hand: "Okay, you can come in."

In front of the sun-filled cave, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the cave. Their heads were next to each other, blocking the sunlight of the bloody sun for a moment.

Xia Sheng, Luna, Lu, Cheng Luohe, Yaowen...their heads came over one after another, as if they wanted to observe Su Ming'an's recovery.

"——City Lord, Tredia and the others are too irritating. They have disclosed a lot of experimental plans. Let's go back and drive them out of power!" shouted the young and energetic Yaowen.

"City Lord." Cheng Luohe, who is also young, is relatively stable: "The masses will only obey the leadership of the upper class. As long as we suppress Tredia, those people can only obey you."

"Do you recognize me?" Su Mingan asked.

"Of course." Xia Sheng, the leader, knelt down on one knee, his expression as solemn as ever: "It was you who saved Fenghuo, it was you who made District 11 develop into the Doomsday City it is today, and it was you who brought us back from the brink of death. You are different."

He raised his head, his dark eyes looking firm:

"When I was the deputy lord in Fenghuo, the only thought in my heart was to let everyone live. I think that everything I wanted to do when I came to this world was to let more people live.

It doesn’t matter to me who is the commander-in-chief, who is the general, who leads the army, who manages the city-state’s resources... I just want to help you and make everyone’s life better. This is the purpose of my life - and You have done this for us, so I will never leave you, no matter what. "

Su Mingan stared into his dark eyes, like looking at a pair of edgeless obsidian stones.

He had never had a heart-to-heart chat with this taciturn commander, and it was not until this critical moment that he could see the loyalty and perseverance of some people.

Xia Sheng's posture as a defender is as steady and firm as a fortress, like a knight swearing allegiance.

As Xia Sheng knelt down, a row of people shrunk behind him, and only a few players were still standing.

"Okay." Su Mingan nodded: "Then let's go back -"

Next to him, Su Lin suddenly raised his head, frowning and looking at the dazzling color in the distance.

"In the world of science and technology, mankind's most powerful weapon." Su Lin said: "It is simply a sharp sword aimed at our own civilization... This kind of thing should not be created."

Su Mingan's heart suddenly tightened.

"Wow——!"

In the distance, there was a giant light that suddenly lit up.

"That's—" Luna raised her voice and almost lost her voice.

A flash of white dust like a flying fish rushed out of the boiling sea. The waves splashed like boiling water, and dense bubbles burst and surged in the sunlight!

Suddenly, the command centers in each city received warning alerts, and tens of billions of calculations were operating at a rapid pace. Between cities, the endless scrolling advertisements stopped and were replaced by several lines of blood-red warnings saying "nuclear explosion is coming".

Vibrations were faintly transmitted across the earth, and the speeding white shadow was like a sharp blade, like a solemn judgment. A Sword of Damocles is bombing down from above the heads of mankind.

When it soared over the First City, no one thought it would fall. The first city belongs to the camp of gods, and it is impossible for nuclear bombs from the city of gods to destroy it.

They cheered and celebrated that the freedom camp was about to end - this nuclear explosion must be directed at Doomsday City. They held their heads high and held their chests high, as if they were paying attention to this doomsday fireworks.

However, when they watched the guillotine approach their own heads, the whole city fell silent.

——Why did this nuclear bomb fall on their city?

——Why would the City of Gods launch nuclear bombs at them?

In just an instant, the thoughts of the residents of the First City turned into nothingness. The beautiful guillotine that exploded with brilliant fireworks was like a brilliant flame mushroom that enveloped them. Their bodies were washed away in the explosion, and they gradually became less aware of themselves, as if they had fallen into the arms of their mother.

The shock wave of the explosion broke through the clouds and shot straight into the sky, wrapped in a powerful orange-white ball of light. When it spread, it was like layers of waves at high tide.

The earth is shaking.

The fire of hell devoured and danced wildly among the broken and charred buildings. People on the edge of the explosion fled in agony in the flames and turned into a ball of carbon ash among the white smoke.

——The prosperous First City and its population of 334,293 people died in this nuclear explosion.

Several transport teams that had just left the city in the First City stopped outside the city, staring at the city that suddenly disappeared in the light of fire. The driver kicked the door open and burst into tears.

Radioactive dust hit the ground, and for a moment, life was reduced to ashes, like a scene from hell.

Tens of thousands of corpses were so miserable that their bodies were crushed by the sudden change in air pressure. The survivors vomited and ran away, their bodies covered with radioactive black scars.

The strong electromagnetic pulse did not affect the communications in major cities. Thanks to Akto's black technology, their information transmission was still normal.

From the transmitter, the feeble roars of major cities were heard:

"Twenty seconds ago, City of Gods triggered a nuclear explosion from the 'Yaoguang-03' nuclear submarine."

"——How come he has nuclear weapons? Isn't this thing blocked by a unified government?"

"Why would he attack the first city of his camp first? Is he still a human being?"

"What does he mean - he wants to destroy the entire human world!"

"This is the will of the gods! It's the will of the gods. The gods don't want us anymore!!"

"Dial the communication in the City of Gods - he doesn't answer? Keep dialing! Whatever he wants, we will give him, we can't let him continue to destroy! No one wants to be buried with a madman!"

No one can face death calmly.

In addition to the people who disappeared instantly in the first city, the neighboring second cities and small and medium-sized cities fell into intense panic.

One nuclear explosion in the City of God destroyed one-tenth of the human living area. Nine more nuclear explosions would destroy them all.

"Buzz——"

Air raid sirens rang in the skies of major cities. People were panicking and running away.

Su Mingan and his party watched this horrific and shocking scene intuitively in a remote cave. It's like a solemn attention ceremony for mankind.

This time, Linguang gradually launched a nuclear explosion in an area, rather than detonating the entire world in an instant.

Su Mingan remembered what Lin Guang said before leaving -

[Lovis, if you want to live, then come to the City of God... The gate of the City of God will always be open to you. If you want to bring people in, I'm fine with that, but it can't be more than three digits. 】

[Soon...there will be the only Noah's Ark. 】

…

"Beep-beep." A voice came from Cheng Luohe's communicator.

"Hello, Mom." He answered, his voice crying.

There was no sound on the other end of the phone for a long time.

Until an old voice came, mixed with pain and gasping: "It's nothing, son, mom just wants to hear your voice."

"Mom...Mom..." Cheng Luohe cried suddenly.

"Are you okay? Take good care of yourself in the future, remember to eat breakfast, don't just practice the gun and forget to add clothes..." The mother's voice became lower and lower. She was recently in City One to survey the situation.

"..."

Everyone fell silent. They knew that this was only the first nuclear bomb.

At this moment, a gentle male voice suddenly sounded in Su Mingan's ears:

"Hello, Asa Aktor, controller of the Source of the World."

Su Mingan looked around, but didn't see the source of the sound.

"Do you want to play a 'civilization bet' with me? Everyone's lives are in your hands alone - I can help you kill Lin Guang, take back control of the City of Gods, and block the remaining nuclear bombs , as long as you do as I say." came a male voice.

"Who are you?" Su Mingan asked, and the people around him cast doubtful glances.

"In your words." A male voice came: "You all call me [God]."

“What is a civilized bet?”

"That's what I want to invite you to..." came the male voice with a smile: "Play a civilized gambling game - the winner gets everything in the new world and wins the future. The loser loses tens of billions of lives. Loss of sovereignty.”

"..." Su Mingan's pupils trembled.

"How's it going, Asa?"

"Play?"
