Chapter 389 – Ten Extinctions!
Boom!
Little Peach kicked and shattered a robot’s head. She then grabbed its machine gun, aimed it at her front, and pulled the trigger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Rumble!
Smoke and flames enveloped the street as the robots in front of Little Peach exploded one after another. The smell of motor oil also permeated into the air.
“My battery is almost dry.” Tossing the heavy machine gun away, Little Peach snuck into a narrow alley between two buildings. While weaving her way across the various obstacles in front of her, she said anxiously, “The number of enemies nearby is increasing. I won’t last much longer. Why hasn’t Mr. Chen come for us yet? Is he also having trouble on his side?”
“Don’t worry. Boss Chen might not be in trouble. He might just be dead,” the husky said vaguely, its mouth still holding onto the collar of Chen Erke’s shirt.
Little Peach: “???”
“Don’t look at me like that. Under normal circumstances, Chen Yu would’ve come for us fully armed after such a crisis has occurred. The fact that he still hasn’t shown up until now means that he has most likely met an untimely end.”
“Don’t speak nonsense!”
Shrugging, the husky lifted its head and looked at the streaks of light falling from the sky. “Stupid, stop running.”
“What?” Reacting in joy, Little Peach asked, “Is Mr. Chen here?”
“No, but look at the sky.”
“W-What are those?”
“They should be the rumored orbital weapons. You basically release metal rods from Earth’s orbit and have them fall to the ground under the acceleration of gravity. The resulting impact will cause much greater damage than nuclear weapons. There won’t be any radiation pollution, either.”
“Where should we run to?”
“Nowhere. That’s it for us.” Jumping off of Little Peach’s head, the husky put down Chen Erke and said calmly, “Faced against such densely packed orbital weapons, even if you managed to escape, Boss Chen’s family will die for sure.”
“No!” Gritting her teeth, Little Peach picked up Chen Erke and declared, “I must protect them.”
“Good luck with that, then.” Tossing away its Invisibility Cloak, the husky pulled out a cigarette from its fur and calmly ignited it. “I won’t play with you anymore.”
“W-What do you mean? Are you not going to follow me anymore?”
“Mhm. Run away yourself.”
“Don’t go out! There are robots outside the alley! Come back! I’ll carry you with me!”
“Don’t bother.” Waving a paw in the air, the husky ignored Little Peach’s shouting and walked further and further away.
“C-Come back...” Little Peach stretched out her occupied hands in despair. “...You chose suicide to avoid increasing my burden... Pikachu, you’re a really good dog...”
...
Walking out of the alley, the husky sat on a chair inside a broken shop and watched the fleeing people and pursuing robots out on the street. It then spat out a smoke ring in disdain.
“Why do humans always observe the world through such narrow vision?
“Even if we ignore the fact that HAL will not kill humans on such a large scale, just look at the robots all over the place and the orbital weapons in the sky... How vulgar.” After finding a comfortable sitting posture, the husky flicked away its half-smoked cigarette and said, “With this many robots, you can practically fill up the Arctic Ocean. Where would you find so many minerals from?
“There are plenty of high-efficiency solutions to exterminate all of humanity. Tin cans like these are only good for visuals. They hold no practicality whatsoever.
“What’s more, why would anyone send in such a massive army first and then follow it up with orbital weapons? This is really insulting my IQ. This whole situation looks fake from start to finish. I can’t even play along with this even if I stop using my brain.”
While mumbling to itself, the husky jumped further into the store and picked up a sharp knife. It then aimed the blade at its eye and said, “Seal...
“Remove!”
Psh!
The sharp blade penetrated the husky’s left eye and exited through the back of its head, blood spraying out of the exit wound.
Suddenly, the husky found the world around itself spinning and space-time distorted.
Very quickly, though, the husky regained consciousness and found that it had returned to Chen Yu’s bedroom.
“This... What’s going on?” Little Peach, seated in front of the computer, lowered her head and looked at her arms. Stunned, she mumbled, “I’m not damaged?”
“It seems you just got killed?” Removing the Invisibility Cloak draped across its body, the husky yawned and said, “I told you not to run. How tiresome.”
“Pikachu, what’s going on? Why are we back?”
“Look at the livestream. The timeline we just experienced should be the content of today’s review.”
Hearing this, Little Peach hurriedly clicked into the livestream room on Bilibili’s platform. Sure enough, Chen Yu’s program had just begun...
...
“Good morning, friends around the world! This is Transdimensional Review’s thirteenth official livestream, and I am your host, Chen Shimei. We meet again after another month. Did everyone like the present I just gave you?”
At these words, bullet comments instantly flooded the various livestream rooms.
[Crap... What just happened?]
[That scared the shit out of me! Was everything just now fake?]
[I think I got headshotted. I didn’t feel anything.]
[Dammit, my hand is shaking...]
[Too shocking! Too shocking! Too shocking!]
[I peed myself.]
[What are you guys talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying. Did something happen just now?]
[A robot army started a war against us just now! It was awesome! It felt so real!]
[It feels like playing a virtual reality game.]
[Robot war? Why didn’t I see it?]
[I asked my daughter. She doesn’t know about it, either.]
Standing inside the Headmaster’s Tower, Chen Yu looked at the number of viewers he had after finishing his opening remarks. When the viewer count broke past the 1.8-billion threshold, he lowered his hand and continued, “It must’ve been a great shock to everyone.
“That’s right. Everything you experienced before is fake. It is a virtual event simulated in a virtual timeline. You can think of it as a multiplayer online virtual reality game.
“From the army of robots to the launch of orbital weapons, everything is designed to show how humans would react when faced with various crises. As individual humans, how will you escape, or die, in such situations?
“However, not everyone in the world got to experience this simulated event. Those who are under 19 years old, over 750 years old, facing physical illnesses, driving, working, or exercising will be automatically filtered out and cannot enter the virtual timeline.”
After saying so, Chen Yu paused slightly to let his audience process his words. He then stepped aside and revealed the black, metallic box behind him to the camera. “The one responsible for creating this virtual event is this thing behind me. Its name is the Natural Disaster Generator, and it is the honorary product of the Die from Addiction Company!
“It is also the protagonist of today’s livestream.
“Next, everyone will get to experience the charm of this magical product for yourself!” After saying so, Chen Yu pulled up the Natural Disaster Generator’s menu. He then showed the list of ten “extinction methods” to the camera.
“We’ll go through the list without missing a single one. Today, humanity is going to go extinct ten times!”
[1. Nuclear War]
[2. Asteroid Impact]
...
[5. Mutated Virus Outbreak]
...
[8. Black Hole Devouring]
...
[10. Destructive Invasion By Alien Civilization]
[What the?]
[Crap!]
[What the?!!]
