The Boss Behind The Game

On the third day of the disaster.

The order of the world had gradually collapsed, and humans had fallen into a desperate situation.

In the face of powerful creatures, they tried to use scientific and technological weapons to resist. However, to their despair, the most terrifying nuclear weapons could not be used.

This was also set by Lu Wu after he digitized this world. The purpose was to prevent these potential stocks from self-destructing in the apocalypse crisis.

Although other Firearms and Explosives were effective against monsters, monsters that were invulnerable were everywhere. The humans were at an extreme disadvantage from the beginning of the war.

At this time, in every city around the world, the news about the end of the world was being played on loop.

"Hello, everyone. This is the focus of the news. Today, we'll be reporting some breaking news."

"February 13th, a shocking incident happened in Chengdong city ... The terrifying zombie Qi virus is still spreading, and the number of ghouls is increasing. The government has already dispatched a large number of armed forces to suppress it, but the results are not ideal. Now, all the virus Research institutes around the world are working overtime to study this terrifying virus, hoping to crack it as soon as possible and obtain the antidote. "

......

"After research, it has been found that the monster in the east of the city has a strong infectious ability, and it is also mutating and evolving. After discussion by the governments of various countries, we have named this monster the 'cursed corpse'. We hope that the residents near the east of the city can prepare their living supplies and do not go out before the danger is resolved. We hope that everyone is vigilant."

……

"All humans, please take note. If you kill any living being other than us, we will activate the ability to digitalize our body, and our physical fitness will also be significantly improved. Please resist if you have the conditions ... We humans are facing the most dangerous crisis in history. We must unite and resist this crisis together. I believe that the light of dawn will come ..."

……

"Breaking news. Espers have been appearing frequently in various countries recently. After research, it has been discovered that their abilities are obtained by killing monsters. This may be the evolution that the unknowns mentioned ... Or perhaps it is the opportunity for us to defeat the monsters. While we humans are facing a crisis, we are also welcoming an opportunity for a great race evolution ..."

……

"Breaking News 2, Wind country's awakened Esper 'Haido' has ignored laws and regulations and openly used his powers to plunder resources. He has been arrested and imprisoned. After the trial, it has been decided that the public execution will be broadcast live tomorrow ... I hope everyone can understand that although the world is facing a great crisis, we can unite to overcome this difficulty. Do not listen to what the mysterious man said. The world Order must not collapse. We believe that if all of humanity unite, we can overcome all difficulties!"

……

Although the disaster had arrived, the governments of various countries still tried their best to maintain order.

The Army was also mobilized during this period to fight against the monsters.

During this period, there were people who completed the upgrade in the battle and obtained the corresponding superpowers.

There were even some who had obtained special items in battle.

This kind of special soul coin was naturally made by Lu Wu with soul coins, but most of them were leftover from the players 'previous use.

Lu Wu sealed these items in the bodies of the creatures that were put into this world.

It could be dropped after they were killed.

The grades are as follows:

[Equipment grade: white (normal), blue (excellent), red (excellent), purple (epic)(follow-up released in the second stage)]

[Elixir grades: level one to level nine (follow-up to the second phase)]

[Skill grade: common, spiritual, Level 1 to 15 (follow-up to the second stage)]

……

These settings had been implanted into this world when Lu Wu turned them into data. Basically, they were what the players had left over from the beginning, including skills and cultivation methods.

For example, skills like "ghost soldier summoning" were abilities that the underworld players had used before.

These settings were all loaded into the first batch of monsters in the form of data. The purpose was to let the humans in this world understand one thing: challenging monsters could make them stronger and better protect themselves.

In fact, the smart humans had already realized this.

After they discovered that they could evolve by killing monsters, they had already embarked on a new path of growth by killing monsters. Even though many cities had fallen, the pioneers had built new human settlements and were ready to fight against the monsters for a long time.

And those simple-minded humans who wanted to rely on the efforts of others to protect themselves were destined to be eliminated in this new era.

The reason was very simple. As Lu Wu said, not evolving would only lead to death.

In the future, the second and third stages of monster deployment would begin one after another ... By then, the strength of the monsters would continue to increase. Although they could be protected now, they were destined to be eliminated by this era one day.

In a chaotic world, only one's own strength had the right to speak.

As this world had been in a peaceful era for a long time, many people in this world had not realized this. However, as the wheels of the new era moved forward, Lu Wu believed that more people would understand this truth.

Evolution was the main theme that Lu Wu had set for this world.

As for those humans who had already realized the danger and started to kill monsters to grow in advance, they would definitely have more opportunities to grow and have the advantage.

Everything in the New World was reshuffled.

Even if you used to be ordinary, everyone started from zero.

Whether he rose or fell in the future was all in his own hands.

If you don't challenge the creatures that you fear, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the New World.

……

A new chapter in the world had begun.

The wheels of time rolled forward, and the original order of mankind quickly collapsed in the days to come. Cities fell one after another and were occupied by monsters.

However, the new humans 'strongholds also began to expand rapidly, gradually forming new human cities.

However, the rules in these cities were completely different from before.

Equality had not been achieved even before the disaster, let alone the New World, which had already collapsed.

More and more humans realized the importance of their own strength. They began to form small teams and tried to walk out of the stronghold to challenge the terrifying monsters.

Even though the process was dangerous, the rewards were also very generous.

With the gradual formation of the new order, the original currency system also collapsed. All the trading currencies became "spirit cores" produced from the bodies of fierce beasts. At the same time, the price of food soared rapidly. Even if the humans who were afraid of monsters did not want to go out, in the face of the lack of food, they could only grit their teeth and try.

Otherwise, they would starve to death.

In peaceful times, food might be distributed to those who had no combat ability, to calm their emotions, and to avoid social disorder.

However, in this era, no one would give precious food to those who wanted to be protected but were unwilling to pay.

Those who were not given food were the weakest.

They could not cause any unrest in the new society at all.

Steal, Rob, and deceive? In the face of unequal strength, they couldn't even do the petty evil.

Therefore, the new order that was gradually formed had made most people who wanted to rely on the efforts of others to survive understand one thing.

If they didn't go out and fight, the only outcome would be death.

As more and more humans went out to challenge monsters, the entire human population once again faced a huge reduction. However, the overall strength of the human race was rapidly developing.

During this period, many new human beings with great potential emerged.

They had a very strong sense of battle, and as leaders, they established their own territory, recruited elites, and formed a new force of their own.

Such a development was undoubtedly beneficial.

However, as the saying goes, where there are people, there will be martial arts.

There were fights for resources, territories, high-grade treasures, and so on.

In addition to fighting monsters, humans also had to guard against themselves.

When the restraints of morality and the three views were broken, many thoughts that he had never dared to think about before would appear in his mind.

Of course, there were still people who stuck to their bottom lines and wanted to be a good person in the apocalypse, but most people cared more about their own interests.

Those who would do anything for themselves might not be able to live to the end, but they would definitely live a more comfortable life than those Saints.

Because no one was the protagonist in this post-apocalyptic world, and since there was no protagonist Halo, the price of being a saint was undoubtedly heavy.

Under Lu Wu's surveillance, he had also seen human beings with good character who were willing to sacrifice and give.

They set up settlements and took in those who were unwilling to fight, while they led their own teams to fight hard outside, generously giving the resources they harvested to those who needed it.

But in the end, they were all dragged down by their own efforts.

Because human nature was complicated.

In the beginning, your contribution would be appreciated by others, but when your contribution had become a habit of others, you would be judged by others on morality if you didn't give.

Some of these people still stuck to their bottom lines, but there were also some who completely changed their views and accepted the rules of survival in the apocalypse.

In fact, their change was not wrong.

Survival of the fittest. What was the so-called "adaptability"? it was to use one's own changes to adapt to the current environment and ensure that one would survive better.

Because in many cases, the result of not changing anything was death.

This was the attitude that a true expert should have.

The current apocalyptic world was a process of great waves washing out the sand. The adapting might not be able to live to the end, but the batch of them would definitely be the ones to survive.

As time passed, humans gradually gained the upper hand in the fight against monsters.

Monsters were terrifying, but to humans, they also had endless treasures.

During this period, both humans and monsters regarded each other as enemies and food, and a long-term battle ensued.

During this period, the population shrank rapidly, and in less than a year, only one-seventh of the world's population remained.

However, most of the remaining humans had already evolved and mastered the ability to fight monsters.

All of humanity had also rebuilt their transportation system. While they began to fight openly and secretly, they also began to cooperate.

In the face of the gradually forming advantage, the humans did not relax in the slightest.

This was because they were clear that a greater crisis was still brewing and could come at any time. Just as the voice had said, they would die if they didn't evolve!

The advantage he had now was only temporary. Evolution was endless.

The words that he had thought were absurd were gradually being regarded as the truth in this post-apocalyptic world.

They could not stop their evolution, nor did they dare to stop.

During this period, many outstanding "strong people" emerged one after another. The strongest had even advanced to the silver level. They had the power to tear apart a five-meter-tall wild giant with their bare hands, and they also had the ability to communicate with the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to release group instant-kill spells.

They might have been ordinary in the past, but they were the main characters in this world.

Some people were afraid of the apocalypse, but some people enjoyed the feeling of survival.

Under the control of fear, the potential of these people was constantly squeezed out. Looking back a year ago, they couldn't even believe that they had such potential.

They would also be the ones who set the order of the New World.

……

The first year of the disaster quickly came to an end, and the humans, who had already gained an advantage, began to panic again.

Many people could still vaguely remember what had happened on that day a year ago.

According to the voice, a year later, which was today, the second round of deployment would take place.

It was very likely that their current advantage was about to be broken, and a new tragedy was about to happen again.

And Lu Wu didn't let them down. He was ready for the second round of release, because in his opinion, the humans now no longer had the fear that they had in the past, and the advantage would make them slack.

After observing behind the scenes for a year, Lu Wu finally understood one thing.

The spiritking had said this before, but Lu Wu didn't understand it well at that time.

It was only now that he truly understood the true meaning of this sentence.

"The weak will only be an obstacle to the strong!"

In the past year, those strongest people had already gained the ability to fight against any powerful enemy.

They already believed that they had no opponents in this world.

On the other hand, the weak were like stars surrounding the moon. The opponent's inability to withstand a single blow made them relax a little. Even though they were still working hard to evolve, they no longer faced death with equanimity like before.

At the beginning of the disaster, many of them had the determination to face death with no fear and die if they did not break through.

Now, they were satisfied with their strength ...

The village of gentleness, the grave of a hero.

After understanding this, Lu Wu finally understood why the spiritking hated the weak.

Because of their existence, the strong stopped moving forward and were unwilling to explore new realms. They even felt that everything they had now was enough.

However, Lu Wu would not give them such a chance.

Only brutal competition and slaughter could squeeze out their potential again, allowing them to continue to grow rapidly in the struggle of life and death.

In the early hours of the morning, as everyone panicked, the surroundings once more fell silent. That nightmarish voice resounded in everyone's minds.

[Congratulations on passing the first test ... But unfortunately ... What you will face next is fear ten times harder than the previous one ... Are you ready? [Ants ... Continue to please me with your performance!]

As soon as Lu Wu's voice fell, a notification from the divine artifact sounded,"

[The second phase of disaster deployment has officially begun. Checking the world ... Connecting a new round of Reiki to transform the world ... Launching the second phase monsters. There were 1231215 barbaric Bulls, 2151612 extreme Arctic snow monsters, 151 black-Blood Dragons, 2114125 flame demons ... There were 208 different species of creatures. [Deployment complete. The third phase will begin in three years. Please make preparations in advance!]

A new wave of panic had arrived ...
