Liu Wei An took off his helmet and laid on the bed without moving. However, he immediately felt that something was amiss. He no longer felt weak like he usually did. Recalling the two white crystals he had eaten today, he immediately understood what was going on.
He opened his eyes and found that the room was dark, it was at least an hour and a half later than usual. He switched on the light switch and the room was illuminated as bright as day by the fluorescent lights. Liu Wei An wasn"t surprised. He just asked, "Why is there no light even when it"s dark?"
The older one was around thirty years old while the younger one was around eleven years old. Both of them had the same type of characteristics: thin, the type of lean that was malnourished over a long period of time, as if a gust of wind could knock them down.
There were many red spots on the two women"s faces and their exposed skin. Some of them were swollen and suppurating, making them look terrifying. However, Liu Wei An treated them like normal.They were a stray mother and daughter. By chance, they saved Liu Wei An"s life. Therefore, Liu Wei An took them in after the crisis. Originally, Liu Wei An couldn"t support himself and wasn"t qualified to accept others. However, at that time, if he didn"t take the two of them in, the two of them would definitely be killed as vectors.
However, Liu Wei"an clearly knew that the symptoms on the two of them were like smallpox, but not contagious.
His mother, Zhao Nannan, and the little girl, from the mother"s surname to Zhao Xin, probably hoped that she would be able to prosper and grow up happily. However, reality had obviously spoiled this beautiful wish of hers.
"Mom said to save energy." Zhao Xin said in a crisp voice. Her expression showed that she was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Wei An wake up, but also had a bit of inferiority, because of the spots on her face. Zhao Nan Nan Nan"s face was very beautiful, with smooth lines and delicate facial features. If it wasn"t for the dense red spots, she would definitely be a top cla.s.s beauty. Her eyes were filled with melancholy as she caressed Zhao Xin"s hair, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Liu Wei An sighed and got off the bed.
This was a room that was only 10 square meters in size. After putting down a bed, there was not much s.p.a.ce left. There were no windows, and the iron gates were rusted with damp. Fortunately, the fluorescent lights were on. There was a shabby bedside table, he opened the drawer and took a look. There were only two energy tubes inside. Liu Wei An immediately understood the reason for the melancholy in Zhao Nannan"s eyes.
Energy tube, the most basic energy for maintaining life. The essence extracted from food was colorless and tasteless. It could only ensure that one did not starve to death. is what most poor people and slaves keep alive.According to the standards, an energy tube could only sustain a human"s life for one day. However, for most poor people and slaves, being able to use an energy tube for three days on average was already a happy thing. Many slaves even took one every five days. Because of the lack of energy, the result was that they had to sleep for a long time to minimize energy consumption. However, this way, they wouldn"t be able to work and they wouldn"t be able to earn money, making them poorer and poorer. This was a vicious circle.
She could persevere, but Zhao Xin could not. She was developing her body, but Zhao Nan did not dare to let her consume it, because the one who needed the energy tube the most was Liu Wei An, who had to enter the world of demon beasts to earn money. Without physical strength, he would die for sure, and Liu Wei An was the only source of income for the three of them.
Liu Wei An"s gaze swept over the mother and daughter pair. His eyes were filled with emotion and pity, but most of it was filled with resentment towards the injustice of this world. However, these emotions only flashed briefly before he said, "I"m going out for a while."
Both mother and daughter were surprised at the same time. Fear showed on Zhao Xin"s face. Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, "Be careful."
Liu Wei An nodded and left.
Right now, it should be somewhere between six in the evening and the starting point. However, it was already as dark as the night. The strong winds howled, and the coldness was bone-chilling. The temperature was pitifully low. Liu Wei An tightened the thin and tattered clothes on his body. With a resolute look in his eyes, he strode forward.
This was no longer Earth, but Mars in 3017. Although it had already been here for three months, it was still unable to adapt to the climate and environment here.Three months ago, he was still on Earth. Although he still had food, books, and friends in the orphanage, fate had played a joke on him.
On a dark night, the benevolent abbot called him out, and he was taken away in a car, convicted of murder, deported to Saturn, and never returned. Initially, he was still confused. It was only when he boarded the s.p.a.ceship for Saturn that he suddenly realized that he was the one in charge.
Unfortunately, it was already too late to wake up. However, fate seemed to have heard his prayers. When the s.p.a.ceship reached near Mars, it met with a s.p.a.ce pirate, and hijacking happened once in a decade. After a fierce battle, the s.p.a.ceship fell into the slave area of Mars. During the process of escaping, he met this mother and daughter pair who were picking up trash for a living. At that time, the mother and daughter pair were covered in filth, sores on their faces, and a terrible stench. Afterwards, he used the night and day to arrive at the border between the slave area and the slums. He rented a bas.e.m.e.nt with the money and settled down.A month ago, when he went out to buy daily necessities, he had met the mother and daughter pair. He did not know why they had wandered here, and although the slums were not much better than the slums, the management was much stricter. People like Zhao Nannan and her daughter with suspected infectious diseases would be forcibly arrested, and even if they resisted, they could be killed on the spot. Liu Wei An thanked them for saving his life and quietly brought them back to his residence.
In the blink of an eye, a month had pa.s.sed. The consumption rate of the three of them was more than twice that of the one before. Although the three of them were trying their best to save, they were already at the end of their tether.
In the world of magical beasts, it wasn"t that easy to survive.
The World of Warcraft was a real world. The only difference was that it existed in another time and s.p.a.ce. One thing was certain, it wasn"t the solar system.Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were overcrowded. All sorts of contradictions broke out, such as the gap between rich and poor, cla.s.s conflicts, partisan battles, country struggles, underground powers, terrorists …. These dissatisfaction were like the water in a pressure cooker: boiling, boiling, boiling, and finally, with a bang, the pressure cooker exploded.
The war began on Saturn, and soon it spread to Jupiter, and finally to Mars, and then to mankind"s birthplace, Earth, after a year of war, the planet was almost destroyed, countless people died, the population fell by one third, and so on. At the height of the battle, aliens attacked.
Earth"s technological development had long rushed out of the solar system. After searching bitterly for hundreds of years without finding any aliens, at the most unexpected moment, the aliens appeared.
The nature of war has changed from civil war to resistance to aggression. Ten years of life and death had succeeded in defeating the aliens, and Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were now in ruins, radiating radiation everywhere. The population had plummeted to less than a thousandth of its peak.The technological civilization was almost returned to the primitive society, and that battle was known as the Apocalypse War.
After three hundred years of development, technology had returned to its original level of 2717, but the various planets that had been ravaged by the war were still unable to return to their original level. After several hundred years, the radiation was still severe, large areas had become restricted zones, species mutations, monsters were rampant, but these were all minor problems. The real problem was that after thousands of years of random harvesting, almost all of the resources in the solar system had been dug up.Lack of resources is the biggest problem that mankind is facing urgently.
Just as the rulers of the three empires decided to launch the "weeding" plan, an unexpected event occurred. The so-called weed control plan was to clear out the human weeds. The weeds were useless, but they would absorb nutrients. The weeds were the human slaves, the poor, and the criminals.
After the war of the apocalypse, the former empire of the solar system had disappeared and was replaced by the three new empires, the Darkhan Dynasty, the Mayan Empire and the Atlantis Union. Because of some historical reasons, humans were recla.s.sified from the top down to the bottom, n.o.bles, citizens, commoners, and slaves.
Slaves basically had no rights, only the fate of being slaughtered.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, if there was an explosion, it would definitely be a failure. But this time, the situation was a bit special, even though the "Black Hole" plan had failed, it had obtained a side product, the World of Warcraft.This world was dominated by magical beasts, and the most important thing was that the resources inside were three times richer than before the excavation of the solar system. Without a doubt, the resources of the world of magical beasts could support the human race for at least three hundred years.
Thus, a game called "Plunder" was born.
As mentioned earlier, the black hole plan was a failure in nature, so in terms of "plundering", there were many flaws. For example, the human body could not enter the world of demon beasts, and could not even carry any items. The only choice was to enter the world of demon beasts through the game helmet and brain waves.
Real people and the real world were exactly the same. There was no difference in physique or intelligence. The only difference was that the dead bodies in the Magic Beast World could be resurrected. However, there was a limit to how long it could be revived. Normal people would need at least a month to be revived.
However, it was limited to inanimate objects. Although it was not ideal, for humans, it was still great news because the meat, plants, minerals and other items from the world of magical beasts could be constantly transferred to the human world. The crisis of the depletion of human resources was suddenly alleviated.
Liu Wei An"s mind drifted, but the speed of his footsteps became faster and faster. After ten minutes or so, he arrived at a commercial district and the atmosphere became lively.Remember that this book starts with a domain name:
