Chapter 2, The End of the Stone Statues
One might just die from a bout of diarrhea
The player has successfully entered the Statue Apocalypse, a world devastated by a level 7 infectious statue virus that caused a mass extinction. Game tasks: 1. Investigate the cause of the large-scale outbreak of the statue virus. 2. Search for the final research data on the statue virus. 3. Obtain the statue virus strain 0. 4. Find and inject the statue virus serum to avoid death after infection
The number of guests is decreasing, and the name "stone statue disease" sounds too strange. I don't know which so-called expert came up with it, what a ridiculous expert. It is said that there is a medicine prescribed by an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the city that can prevent this disease. I will go take a look tomorrow
The face of the statue of the young girl also bears an expression of terror, with the carving technique revealing every detail meticulously.
Players can only end the game and receive rewards to return to the original apocalyptic world after completing the tasks
It was as if he had heard his own heart's voice, and the game interface on the phone displayed several lines of text
The most frustrating thing is that I may have already been infected with this so-called statue virus
Through these newspapers and this diary, he has gained a rough understanding of some aspects of the stone statue disease, but it is still far from sufficient
The date on the newspaper is fixed at July 6, which is also why most of the statues are dressed in short sleeves
It fits reasonably well, and it looks like the clothing of the statue outside.
Through these reports in the newspapers alone, Shen Feng was able to sense the panic that the entire world felt in the face of this irresistible destruction
Inside the community outside, there are also quite a few stone statues, all remarkably lifelike, with expressions of terror on their faces
He has truly entered a post-apocalyptic world
What on earth is this place? It is simply like a ghost town
He was still wearing clothes, but they were already in a state of disrepair, with numerous holes eaten through by insects
Let me go back
I am hungry
By the way, alarm!
A lifelike statue of a young girl stands in the corridor, equally exquisite in its detail.
The face of the statue still bears a look of terror; observing its movements, it seems to be looking down at its left arm, while its right hand holds a coffee cup, which has already accumulated a layer of dust inside.
Moreover, it is the virus apocalypse
May 15, overcast
Fortunately, these are Chinese characters that he can understand
There are also some stone statues on the street, some with indifferent expressions, some in despair, and some in terror, each with different postures, yet all revealing the madness of death
Shen Feng could not help but feel a surge of joy in his heart, as there was meat to eat
Shen Feng suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath with effort, then gently exhaled, and slowly opened his eyes again
He has been striving alone since childhood, facing countless setbacks; at this moment, the fierce determination deep within him was suddenly ignited.
Moreover, I have always been an enthusiast of apocalyptic survival, indulging in fantasies quite a bit. Now that I have entered a real apocalypse, in a way, I have fulfilled a certain wish.
"Xincheng has almost become a deserted city. Is the isolation policy for critically ill patients effective?"
The exterior of this statue depicts a young man, appearing remarkably lifelike, with even the wrinkles on his forehead being distinctly clear; upon closer inspection, one can even see the pores on his skin
... ...
Despite the commotion just now, no one came in to take a look, and there wasn't even a sound.
Feeling a chill on his body, he hurried back to the inner room, opened the wardrobe, and found a pair of sweatpants and a short-sleeved shirt to put on
In this isolated and helpless apocalyptic world, the most terrifying aspect is not the monsters, but the various diseases arising from the lack of medical care and medication
The outbreak of the statue virus! Oceania has been completely petrified
Who on earth is so bored as to erect such a statue here
The news reports that a brand new virus has emerged in the tropical rainforests of South America, transmitted through the air. The symptoms are somewhat similar to those of Parkinson's disease, but much more severe. I hope it does not spread here
Shen Feng's mind raced as he began to think rapidly.
If we cannot go back, then so be it. Let us see what this statue of the end times is all about!
Fortunately, the skin has bounced back.
Today, several customers who came to buy newspapers appeared to move a bit slowly. Old Zhang, who buys scratch cards, walks like a crab. There are rumors that there is a recent outbreak of a mutated influenza, but it is unclear whether it is true
Suddenly, as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, Shen Feng abruptly thought of something
Statue, apocalypse
He then took the knife to the door, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened it, only to find that it was quiet outside, and the imagined guard did not exist
Shen Feng was at a loss, and upon seeing a fruit knife on the table beside him, he immediately picked it up and looked towards the door
It is unclear how long the apocalypse of this world has lasted; what he should do now is to quickly understand this world.
Even every single strand of hair has been meticulously sculpted, each one separated individually, and it is unknown how much effort was spent to achieve this appearance
Just now, Shen Feng threw an ashtray, which indeed broke off quite a bit of the statue's hair
... ...
However, the sika deer appeared to be in a state of panic, turning its head and charging towards him
Stepping out of the community and onto the street, everywhere one looks, there are weeds sprouting from the cracks in the concrete pavement. The surrounding walls are all rust-stained, and the vehicles appear as if they have been abandoned for several years, with aging and cracked tires and paint that is mottled and rusted.
As Shen Feng thought of this, a rumble echoed from his stomach
Library
He needs more information
Shen Feng pressed the game icon firmly, and a line of text reappeared on it:
... ...
I seem to be in the late stages as well, and I can hardly hold a pen anymore. After contracting this illness, I first noticed a decrease in skin elasticity, then my joints became somewhat stiff, and it became increasingly difficult to move. However, it seems that the virus has mutated again. It is said that in the final stage, it will rapidly escalate within a few minutes.
Today, I witnessed a critically ill patient turn into a stone statue. What kind of virus is this? Even a renowned traditional Chinese medicine doctor like Dr. Zhou has turned to stone. When will the vaccine be developed? It is said that chaos has erupted in other places, and civil war has already begun in the Americas
... ...
... ...
Why has everyone turned into stone statues
There is no turning back
The incubation and outbreak period of the stone statue virus is between 15 and 30 days, please players maintain survival and avoid permanent death
The house he is in is on the second floor, and as Shen Feng walked down the corridor, he couldn't help but be taken aback
What exactly is this place
Parallel world
After reading the diary from beginning to end, Shen Feng's heart involuntarily skipped a beat, and at the same time, he reached out to press his hand against his arm
June 1, rain
Statue Apocalypse
Although the statue virus continues to mutate and poses a greater threat, according to Professor Chen from the National Academy of Sciences, the latest vaccine is about to be completed, and defeating the demon of the statue virus is just around the corner
Upon seeing these words, Shen Feng felt as if his mind was about to explode
I do not know if the items in the store are still safe to eat
Suddenly, a series of clattering hoofbeats approached, and a spotted deer burst around the corner of the street
June 17, sunny
Immediately following this, a series of heavy footsteps echoed around the corner, as a dozen robust wolves charged out in pursuit of the spotted deer!
Shen Feng quickly picked up his phone, only to find that there was not a single signal, as if he were in a no man's land
He vaguely remembers that he had started the game before going to sleep
Thinking of this, Shen Feng walked down a street and quickly found a newsstand, where he obtained a stack of newspapers that had already turned yellow and brittle
The heartbeat gradually stabilized
Moreover, who kidnapped oneself
May 6, sunny
At the same time, in front of the statue of a middle-aged man in the newsstand, there was also a yellowed diary.
He immediately picked up his phone, tapped on the icon for "Real Doomsday Game," and saw that it currently displayed three large characters: In Game!
Or did I wander here in my sleep last night
Upon opening, it is the diary written by the newspaper stand owner during the days of the statue virus outbreak
I am currently in the game
The government's latest martial law decree has been issued, and a curfew will be implemented starting today. Those who engage in looting will be shot on the spot
What exactly is this place
July 6, deceased
Considering this level of refinement, even world-class sculptors may not be able to achieve it
This appears to be an old street-side community, with the corridors covered in dust and even overgrown with weeds
This is simply making it feel like the end of the world
