Chapter 261 - 261 260 Its More Fun to Play
?Chapter 261: Chapter 260: It’s More Fun to Play Chapter 261: Chapter 260: It’s More Fun to Play The host raised his hand, and a virtual panel instantly appeared behind him.
This caused both the onsite audience and those watching the live broadcast to pause in surprise; clearly, they had not expected such advanced technology to be available on this Deserted Island.
“For this Competition Island, we have made a comprehensive deployment and used the world’s most advanced and top-notch 6D projection technology.”
“The technical team of the organizers has already set up a story background on Competition Island that you will enter for a full-scale simulation.”
“That means everything you experience will seem as real to you as anything else, and it will look very realistic to the audience watching the live broadcast as well.”
He tapped the panel with his hand, and soon the story background line emerged.
“The story background for this competition is called ‘Apocalypse Incoming’, and once the 6D technology is activated, Competition Island will transform into a city.”
“Then, all of you will parachute into this city, precisely on the day the apocalypse begins.”
“Each of you will be transported to the same location, but you won’t be able to see each other, and then you’ll have to make a choice.”
“The characters that appear in the city, you also can’t treat them as virtual but must consider them as real.”
“As such, every action you take, every choice you make will be crucial for your survival and tasks ahead.”
“Then, when the apocalypse begins, the members of your team will be teleported together, and after assembly, you must survive for a month in this city.”
“As long as you can survive a month without the whole team perishing, you will pass, but this is just a side mission.”
“There’s also a main mission, which will determine your final ranking.”
“But we will not reveal the main mission, you will need to find and discover it on your own.”
“Of course, the main mission will provide you with clues, at which point the locations with clues will be sent to your communication watches.”
The man paused before adding, “As for weapons and equipment, you need to find them yourselves.”
“In the city and outside the city, there are zombies. The head is the kill point, no matter what weapon you use, as long as you hit the zombie’s head, it will die.”
“And if any of you get caught by a zombie, then you’re out.”
“Our 6D virtual system can monitor the whole process, so don’t take any chances.”
At that moment, a burly man asked, “Can the 120 teams knock each other out?”
Everyone knew that knocking out the other teams meant eliminating them.
The host smiled and replied, “Of course, you can. Using any weapon, if you hit the vital parts of someone from another team, the system will make an accurate judgment.”
“Once death is adjudged, that person is out.”
An apocalyptic background is inherently chaotic and undisciplined, with less constraint on people, which makes it more thrilling.
That’s why the organizers spent two years planning before finally deciding to choose this setting for the competition arena and building the simulation.
The burly man revealed his white teeth, “That’s good.”
Many people also showed knowing smiles, indicating they shared the same thoughts.
The host thought for a moment and reminded, “An apocalyptic background is the best reflection of human nature, and your every performance will be broadcast live globally, so behave yourselves.”
Many people ignored this advice, not taking it to heart.
Of course, they knew it was going to be broadcast globally, so naturally, they would prefer not to display the more bloody or dark aspects.
Luo Ning, however, felt that since the host specifically mentioned it, the so-called 6D technology must be very mature, and could likely create near-perfect illusions.
Although many times, after entering a mission, people may think all these are fake, human instinct will react differently and may not always be under control.
It’s like going into an amusement park or a specially built haunted house for adventure; visitors know everything inside is fake.
But once faced with something terrifying, everyone will still instinctively feel fear and make involuntary reactions.
These people might be oversimplifying the background of this competitive match.
But that’s alright, it makes it more interesting to play.
The host didn’t let everyone rest but had them line up to enter a passageway.
This corridor led straight to the Deserted Island.
Everyone entered the passage in the order of their team number plates.
The global broadcast followed every aspect of the process.
Around ten minutes later, it was Luo Ning’s team’s turn.
They quickly arrived at the end of the passage, where there was a door.
Two people stood at the door, handing out a phone watch to the players about to enter.
After receiving the watch and putting it on her wrist, Luo Ning stepped through the door.
Then, she felt dizzy for a moment, and a blinding light fell upon her eyes, causing her to involuntarily close them.
When she opened her eyes, Luo Ning found herself in a dormitory.
Shortly after, a message popped up on the watch phone.
[The apocalypse will begin in half an hour, and the competition officially starts now. Please make your choices and get ready.]
Luo Ning had experienced interstellar worlds and seen even more realistic technology, such as living, working, and socializing in virtual worlds.
This 6D technology was indeed advanced, projecting city backgrounds and the like, to a very believable extent.
She was so impressed that she was fully drawn in, which was quite good.
So, her first reaction was not shock and confusion, but to quickly start searching the dormitory.
First, she found a large suitcase and packed it with food and water that was easy to carry, as well as a minimal set of spare clothes and toiletries.
Since it was a live person placed into a constructed virtual world, they would definitely get thirsty and hungry.
It took Luo Ning five minutes to pack her backpack, and then she ran out the door.
Below was a large supermarket, and she had guessed earlier that the organizers might allow them to gather supplies within half an hour.
She did not hesitate to take the elevator downstairs into the supermarket.
The projection of the background was very realistic; at the moment, the supermarket was bustling with people shopping.
After entering the supermarket, Luo Ning did not start collecting food but first went to the kitchenware section, taking two stainless steel watermelon knives.
She stashed one in her bag and held the other in her hand.
Checking the time, she then went to the food section, grabbing compact biscuits, sausages, and other easy-to-open snacks, and stuffed several bottles of water into her bag.
With a good memory, she had seen a map at the entrance of the supermarket.
She quickly ran to grab a flashlight and batteries, then exited the supermarket.
She then ran to a nearby pharmacy at the entrance and swiftly tossed some fever, cold, and anti-inflammatory medicine into her bag.
Just as she finished, a voice resounded in mid-air, “The apocalypse has arrived!”
Then the sky quickly darkened, and the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
Luo Ning’s vision blurred, and she reappeared in another place, now with her four teammates by her side.
