Chapter 1: The Rebellious Teenager

On the afternoon of the weekend, the sunset of the calm community, the vague square dance sounded in the fitness area, and many old people twisted their bodies here.

Suddenly, from the fourth floor of a residential building, something was thrown down, accompanied by an impatient voice: Mom... You don't nag, OK, I am so old, what things I don't know, and you say...

What time is it now, you look at your room, you know where to play games, you are now a senior high school, can you put your game away, study hard ah, you can go to a key high school is not easy... Mother's heart, this is the world's parents heart.

Mom... Can you please let me be quiet for a while, I go to a key high school, I was admitted by myself, I just play games, and do nothing harmful, how can you be so annoying, do not understand anything... The boy was more impatient...

In the quarrel between mother and son, the teenager was very upset, and in a fit of anger, he overturned the computer table directly: OK... I don't play, okay? Are you satisfied with this?

Snap... A sharp slap.

It is not easy for me to pay for your education, your father is working outside, and I am specially waiting on you to go to school, and you are like this... The mother was sad and tearful, and also a little angry.

The young man covered his face and tilted his head, and there was no mother's instruction in his heart, as well as those words, and he was very angry and stood there, saying nothing.

For a long time in the past, the room was not calm, and the clear palm print on the young man's face was still there, which showed how heavy the anger of the mother that hated iron was not solid.

Although the teenager rebellious, but also at the moment is in the rebellious period, he just entered the key high school, although not the top, but also count in the class.

But he loves all kinds of games, spare time are immersed in the keyboard and mouse, personal hygiene is a mess, and is often forget to eat.

Watching his mother leave, the young man was also a little bored in his heart, packed up his things, but found that when he overturned the table before, the keyboard was smashed.

He took out the drawer, took the money inside, slammed the door and left without saying a word.

Chenchen... Chenchen... The mother's cry did not respond, the call did not respond, the noise between mother and son, there is always some generation gap.

The rebellious teenager, named Tilly Bailey, ignored his mother's concerns and walked out of the house with the money. The keyboard, which had been smashed before, was carelessly discarded in the trash can.

As for the game information thrown out of the window before, he picked it up one by one, turned a deaf ear to the cry behind, and walked out of the community.

I don't know anything, but I know what I've been saying all day... Tilly Bailey also felt wronged, feel that her mother does not understand them, study pressure is so big, playing games to relax and relax is nothing wrong.

Walking in the street, the sky gradually became gloomy, the mobile phone bell is still ringing, Tilly Bailey did not answer the phone, sitting on the street looking at the car to car, after a long time, feel really bored, this went to the direction of the computer city.

Boss... Grab a keyboard... Tilly Bailey called her boss who was having dinner.

Handsome boy? Which one do you want? If you play games, he recommends this, feel super good and responsive, many young people like... The boss saw the game information Tilly Bailey held in his hand, stood there and did not answer, and took out other kinds of introductions one by one.

Now hand in pocket, feel cash-strapped Tilly Bailey, the money in hand or their own living expenses, but by their own smashed keyboard, it is definitely not available.

Said not to play the game, but obviously the possibility is very low, holding the money in the hand slightly looked down, see the boss a little impatient look...

Is there a cheaper, I came out of the urgent money is not much... Tilly Bailey said with a far-fetched excuse.

Cheaper... Well, look at these... Luminous keyboard beautiful and elegant fashion, cost-effective better...

Again... A little cheaper... Tilly Bailey himself also felt a little hot on the face, looking at the boss's contemptuous eyes, just quarreled with his mother, which face to ask for money, and impossible to steal and rob, the rest of the body this.

Boom... The boss found a dusty keyboard from the top of the shelf and casually threw it in front of Tilly Bailey.

Count you 30 yuan, this is the cheapest, no matter how cheap there is no man-made... The boss looked impatient, and his wife was still urging him to have dinner.

Boss... I only have 18 dollars here... Tilly Bailey, who took out the money, felt like she had no voice left.

Take it, take it... The boss listened to the call of his wife in the distance, took Tilly Bailey's money in one hand, put away other things, and did not bother to look at Tilly Bailey again.

Pick up the keyboard Tilly Bailey, blow the dust on the packaging, but found that the keyboard on the return key unexpectedly did not, just want to let the boss for a change, but see the boss has gone far.

Fuck... Cheap but not good... Just make do with it... Tilly Bailey looked at the keyboard in her hand and was speechless.

The phone rang again, and this time he took out his cell phone and looked at his mother's call. This time he did not hang up, and after connecting, he said, I'll be back in a minute...

At home can be with the family, but out of the house, when the money is short, watching others eat, he just thought of going home.

Back home, the mother did not blame, but the dinner was some rich, but the mother and son did not speak, the silence of the end of the fight, back to the room Tilly Bailey, the computer reassembly.

Perhaps because of the quarrel during the day, he stayed in the room at the moment to do his homework, did not turn on, the mother came in with walnut milk, still did not say a word, put down the cup and left...

It was about eleven o 'clock, Tilly Bailey thought that the weekend task was not finished, turned on the computer...

The display lights up, waiting for the boot to load, skillfully click on the game, although the keyboard lacks a return key, it does not cause much trouble.

Unconsciously, the time came after twelve o 'clock, when the time was frozen at twelve o 'clock, when Tilly Bailey's finger, habitually pointed at the return key, suddenly came a sharp electric shock from the finger, until the mind.

Resolving the host identity... Confirm... Assessing host capacity... Confirm... Identify the host... Confirm... Soul bound... A broken voice, echoing in my mind.

When he opened his eyes again, he was in a dark place, behind the iron-barred gate, in front of a dark grass, an environment he was familiar with, but not his own room.

Dee dee dee... Feeling a vibration in her arm, Tilly Bailey looked over and pressed the flashing red light, and a command rang out in her head.

The training mission... In search of lost civilizations... Quest rewards increase the host's basic abilities, with additional rewards based on quest completion.

Tilly Bailey is shocked to find herself in the world of the lone gunman, with her familiar surroundings and this strange order.

Looking at the pistol in his hand, as well as the equipment on his body, Tilly Bailey was dumbsided there, but here is a dead world, full of blood and decay, at any time to the ground may be killed.

For this game, he is too familiar, and because of familiarity, he feels fear, recalling how he got into here, the only answer is that he bought the cheap old keyboard for 18 dollars.

Chapter 2 The Thrill of Novelty

At this moment, recalling the previous coma, what soul binding sound sounded in his mind, and that intermittent paragraph, Tilly Bailey is both excited and also a little confused.

The excitement is the excitement of the game, the feeling of the moment, the damp and cold air, the surrounding environment, the gun in the hand, the equipment on the body, and the familiar with a little strange characters.

Confused nature is how they can enter here, the cheap keyboard, although looking at the age of some time, but even if it is a historical relic, it is impossible to leak electricity and bring themselves to another world.

Please confirm the task... A sound came from her arm again, but Tilly Bailey hesitated to press it.

A woman's... I love playing games, but not enough to be played with... Tilly Bailey looked around and walked nervously forward. In the dim light, a distant door heard the sound of a hissing spark.

Dee dee dee... Task mandatory, please select personal special ability... As he walked forward, a sudden pain came from his arm, followed by a cold warning.

What the hell... Special abilities... Special powers... That great pain, let Tilly Bailey know that even if they want to refuse, the process of the world will not stop, and in the world of lone gunmen, the special ability of individuals, almost life and death.

He did not know what would happen to him if he died in this world, but the great pain, he did not want to try again...

Vampire power... Tilly Bailey did not hesitate too much this time, after clicking on the personal ability, the body suddenly appeared a red light, the vampire talent, is the ability to suck the life of the other side by killing the enemy.

The mission has officially begun... Countdown... 3... 2... 1... The moment the countdown ended, the big iron door behind it suddenly closed, and the cold air before was filled with some fine sounds.

Tilly Bailey tries to recall that the lone shooter world has the highest requirements for weapons, and armor is second, but the corresponding weapons require a high level of personal ability to equip.

The most important of these is the personal chip, which is something that can greatly enhance the basic capabilities of the individual...

Playing the game is very good, but when you are really played by the game, even the posture of holding the gun, are some nondescribable, just after Tilly Bailey has taken a few steps forward, a spider-like thing suddenly appeared on the ground, but it is full of basketball size.

Ah... Tilly Bailey, in a panic, immediately raised her pistol and shot at the object, leaving pale green blood on the ground and a foul smell.

Fuck... Just a little monster, but he was a little scared, but then came the extreme excitement and excitement.

This is so fucking exciting... Tilly Bailey, after all, is not yet an adult, before the exhilarating feeling, when the enemy is torn apart, whether it is visual or sensory, more exciting than playing games.

Looking for the lost civilization, this is now occupied by the monsters, human civilization only the last safe base, the front gate is the way to the safe base, right... When he looked at the distant concierge, the sound of electric sparks could be heard clearly.

The power there has been cut off and can only be turned back on, as if the hub that controls the gate is damaged... Bombs! I remember... Tilly Bailey thought about it for a long time, exclaims with excitement, and runs to the concierge.

But just as he was about to approach the gatehouse, three monsters appeared inside at the same time, and rushed out, their limbs like sharp knives, each time they fell to the ground, they would Pierce the ground.

'Die! While moving back quickly, he pulled the trigger in a bit of a panic, until he killed three monsters on the ground, and he gasped.

It's fucking cool... It's much more exciting than playing VR... Although he did not know what serious consequences he would have if he died in this world, the intense pain before him let him know that the reality of this world, everything that happened was empathy.

Getting shotguns... Several bullets... Just stepped into the door, a shotgun on the ground, just as the sidearm of the guard here, when he held it in his hand, it felt a little heavy.

First, the gate of the concierge was restarted, and there was a slight vibration on the ground, but the gate on the other side did not open...

Looks like we need to find that elevator and get the bomb... At this moment, I looked around with my gun. In the distance, it was dark, and I could not find the right direction. Moreover, the area of this base was not generally large.

At this moment in the game is really the experience, let Tilly Bailey feel unprecedented stimulation, at the same time that kind of freshness, whether it is the shotgun or the pistol in the hand, the heavy gun body and the small recoil, let him feel the freshness.

A little carried away immersed in the game world, looking for memories, should be in the nearby elevator...

Toot... toot Doo... Suddenly reminded of the sound of police sirens, Tilly Bailey was somewhat at a loss and looked around in a daze.

The sound came from a collapsed house in the distance, and just as he was about to approach it, he saw a dense mass of monsters, and a rustling sound approached from a distance.

Fuck me... Why so many... The moment he picked up the shotgun and pulled the trigger, the tremendous recoil carried his entire body, the flames shot out of the muzzle, and a steel ball, invisible to the naked eye, fanned out.

At the same time Tilly Bailey herself, was also by the loud sound, the ear buzz, the whole person fell to the ground...

But the monsters on the other side did not stop, and were approaching at a very fast speed.

At this time, he quickly changed to a pistol, playing while retreating, retreating to the previous concierge...

Shotgun kill is objective, but the tremendous recoil is not what he endured in high school...

Ah... As he stepped back, he was suddenly tripped by something at his feet, and when he saw a body without a complete body, the threat of death suddenly filled Tilly Bailey's heart at that moment.

A voice is sure to tell him that this is a game, but it is also a game full of death and killing, and he is controlling his own fate at the moment, is playing with his own life.

When he was stunned here, the distant monster was constantly approaching, the fierce momentum, the mutilated bodies on the ground, are very clear to tell Tilly Bailey that if they are chased by those monsters, they are the next body lying on the ground, being eaten.

I don't want to die... I don't want to die... Perhaps he was frightened by the body, or perhaps he really understood what he was doing now, and got up from the ground and ran to the distance for the first time, not even picking up the shotgun that fell on the ground.

Dong Dong dong... When he returned to the place where he had just entered, and knocked on the large iron door, which had been closed, there was no response except a dull sound.

A woman's... What the hell is going on? I quit! I quit! Panicked, he shouted around, but there was no response, he did not even know how to leave this world.

At the same time, those monsters behind are getting closer and closer, either to bear the pain and taste the price of death, or to pick up the weapons in their hands to defeat the task given to them.

Chapter 3: Killing to Survive

When facing life and death, Tilly Bailey first thought of escape. He was rebellious, wayward and stubborn, but all this was just because he was a student who had just stepped into senior high school.

The thrill of pulling the trigger, the thrill of killing, that's what a young man can feel...

However, when seeing the body and a large number of monsters approaching at the moment, how could he face the dilemma when his mind was not mature?

There is no way back, the road ahead are deadly monsters, before also because of the acquisition of a shotgun and excited, but now because of their own fear, will rely on things lost.

To kill you... Beat you to death... The pistol in his hand constantly spewed out fire snakes, and even some numbness, both hands felt numb, but at this moment, he kept pulling the trigger mechanically and replacing the magazine.

Ah... A monster near his leg, a tentacle hard stuck in his calf, great pain, let him cry out.

Bang bang bang... At the moment, in addition to the pistol in his hand, there is no other ability to kill the monster around him, looking at less and less magazines, and then see that there are many monsters rushing to come.

Tilly Bailey suddenly felt some despair, great pain, still eroding, the gun in his hands is getting slower and slower, at the moment he is sitting on the ground, in addition to the repeated gunfire, there is no other sound in the ear.

Every time a monster was killed, a faint red light flew out of it and fell toward Tilly Bailey, whose punctured calf was also recovered in plain sight.

The original choice of vampire talent, but also because he has played this game countless times, for talent ability, in addition to vampire talent, the ability to survive is very poor.

It seemed like a long time before there was a monster in front of me, but there were still shots in the air, and now around Tilly Bailey, there was green blood and mutilated limbs.

Leaning back against the iron door, his eyes were a little dull, and he pulled the trigger numbed until the last monster died, and a white light flashed on him, but he still did not stop the action in his hands.

Out of bullets and out of magazines, perhaps feeling powerless, Tilly Bailey's hands slowly fell...

I'm not dead... I'm alive... Some heavy breathing, while mumbling.

I'm going out... I want to go home... What he thought of most at this moment was to go home and stay in his room, even if it was to do his homework, even if it was to listen to his mother's nagging, and he did not want to taste death here.

There were a lot of ammunition magazines scattered on the ground at the moment, and a simple medical kit, and Tilly Bailey was still numb when the white light flashed, and did not hear the sound of the promotion.

When he slowly woke up from the gunshot, he saw the red warning flickering on his arm...

Congratulations to the host to increase the level, reward each of the basic abilities a little, please distribute yourself, find the lost civilization characters complete 1%...

Look at the free points of each person's basic ability, and then look at their own talent ability, the task completion degree at the moment, only one percent.

The mission... Tilly Bailey looked at the completion of the mission, a little blank look around, the dead environment far away from the base gate, her mission has just begun.

Can you go home after completing your mission... Mumbling, he will just get the free points, distributed in the power, before the shotgun recoil, even the gun can not hold the stability, if there is no power, even if you get any good weapons, there is no way to use.

The ammunition magazines scattered on the ground were also collected by him one by one, as well as the small medical kit, although a little scared, but fortunately this game was familiar to him.

A lot of things haven't changed, which is probably the silver lining...

I went back to the spot where I had left the shotgun, and again I saw the body lying on the ground, probably recognizable from the clothes on the body, although the features were twisted, but there was no fear in the eyes.

The moment Tilly Bailey picked up the shotgun, she fired a shot straight into the distance, this time apparently feeling a lot less recoil.

Pointing the gun at the half-collapsed house in the distance, where the elevator was located, but as Tilly Bailey walked toward it, she found a number of bodies on the way, and some coins scattered.

After a battle before, the stubborn Tilly Bailey at this moment has only one idea in her heart, that is, to complete the task alive and leave the world full of death.

Playing the game, how could he not know how important the coins in the game are, even if they are scattered next to the bodies, even if there are blood on them, Tilly Bailey quickly picked up the scattered coins, and did not want to look at the bodies.

"I remember when this mission started, there were a lot of hidden spots, and
