Chen Mo finally realizes that "successful evacuation" in this world only means successfully leaving the previous map.
After that, he keeps traveling through Longbow Valley, Brakkesh, Tide Prison, Space City, and the AZ3 Nuclear Power Plant. From notes, recordings, and experiment logs left behind on different maps, he gradually pieces together the truth:
All six maps repeat the disaster from the night the infection first broke out.
All regular evacuation points are merely transit nodes between maps.
To open the real evacuation point, he must rewrite the endings of six landmark events.
It's a bit of a brain-teaser. In Volume One, after going through the bad endings on several maps, Volume Two starts sending him to different maps to search for various quest items. Infected operators also begin appearing in Volume Two. The story arcs are exciting, intense, and thought-provoking.
[Infection Background]
"Mandel's Violet Blight"
Known among the public as "Violet Disease" or "Blackblood Disease," but internally, Hafk calls it:
M-SYN Compound Cognitive Contamination
It is not a purely biological virus, but a product of three things combined:
Brakkesh Ruins Sample: Capable of preserving neural activity and memory data.
Space City Spatial Experiments: Allowing information to cross distances and synchronize between different regions.
AZ3 Anomalous Energy: Providing a continuous source of energy for the infection and the map cycle.
Together, the three allow the virus to infect:
- The body;
- The nervous system;
- Memories;
- Electronic devices;
- Spatial coordinates;
- Quest rules.
So this isn't simply a zombie disaster. The operating logic of the entire world has been infected.
This setting is amazing! I wonder if the developers will poach it and make a similar story. Author, please update soon!
Wow, this feels like it has broken away from the old-fashioned novel formula and is more like a game script. But why do so many people know about that knocking mute mark?
I don't understand it, but it's beautiful.
The protagonist seems to have decent intelligence, but his physical strength is just too poor. Could you give him some skills to make him run faster?
I'm begging the developers to take a look at the fanfiction about the continent and create a similar dungeon. It sounds so exciting!
There are many rumors online that the new season will include a zombie mode, but it's unclear which version will be released.
The world-building is superb, and the map is very close to the actual game, feeling like the game map has been expanded a lot. The quests and items are also very fitting, and the writing is also quite good. It's worth reading!
