The smell of instant noodle soup still lingered on the keyboard. I stared at the row of bugs on the screen and my eyes almost went blind.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, my floor was the only one with lights on. There is no way, the project will go online tomorrow, and the boss said that if this bug is not fixed tonight, don't come to work tomorrow. I stretched my stiff neck and was about to continue struggling with the code. Suddenly, the whole building shook.
Earthquake?
I subconsciously grabbed the edge of the table, and then, a dazzling blue light poured in from the window, as if someone turned on a giant searchlight with a diameter of several hundred meters in the sky. The light beam became thicker and brighter, engulfing the entire city in less than three seconds.
Before I had time to react, there was a buzzing sound in my head, as if an invisible electric current was piercing through my temples.
Then, a cold mechanical voice exploded directly in my head:
[The all-human adaptability screening experiment has been launched]
[Phase One: Experimental Space Collapse]
[Number of participants: 7,830,000,000]
[Countdown: 3...2...1...]
I stood there stupidly, my mind filled with buzzing echoes. What experiment? What collapse? Isn't this a scene from a science fiction movie?
The scene outside the window left me completely speechless. The originally dark night sky seemed to have been torn open by something, revealing a huge dome with a blue halo. Small data streams were constantly flashing like lightning on the edge of the dome. The entire city, no, from that height, the entire area was covered by an invisible transparent cover.
