All Novel Full Chapter 993
Chapter 993: Chapter 923 [Game Over!]_1 Chapter 993: Chapter 923 [Game Over!]_1 “Assassins’ Alliance”, the starting game, dad dies.
“Speed Chase”, the wife and the dog kick the bucket right at the start.
“Chang’an”, both parents and the busty girl of interest die at the beginning.
Now, it’s the turn of “Pacific Rim”, Yi is fully prepared for anything.
“Bring it on, no matter who dies, I am ready for it.
If I blink an extra time, consider it my defeat!”
Not just Yi, gamers worldwide are psychologically ready to an extent and there’s even a betting pool on the forum, wagering on who among the protagonist’s family will die first.
Yi put half of his forum points on [Whole Family].
Entering the Game World, he carried this anticipation with him.
Before he could even open his eyes, a rapid patting sound on his bed woke him up, “Wake up!
Wake up!
There is a stir in the rift!
Get up quickly, it’s our turn!”
Yi suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying half-naked on the top bunk.

His roommate who woke him up was already changing.
The room was a bit cramped, the blinking red light on the desktop display added to the tense and stuffy atmosphere.
Along with the large exclamation mark on the screen, an electronic voice also synchronized, “Dangerous Wanderer, report to Cabin 08, It’s a monster event!”
[“Monster Code: Sickle Head, Level: 3”]
Yi was a bit baffled, “Wait, monsters?
What the hell?!”
The previous trailer from Cloud Dream revealed no information about any monsters.
On the contrary, they cleverly hinted players towards a “World War” or “Mech Battleground” by showing separate instances of various countries’ mechs and hunter bases.
Yi has been guessing the same.
Now that he has entered the game, it’s a monster hunt right from the get-go?
Isn’t this a bit too daunting?
I’m not ready yet!
The older brother who woke him thinking he was in a daze, was hurriedly getting dressed saying enthusiastically, “Yes, it’s a Level 3 monster.
Its code name is Sickle Head, the biggest we have encountered yet!”
“Hurry up, time’s ticking”
“Our combat records are going to be refreshed!”
Although Yi was a bit baffled, he followed the instructions quickly to wash up and get dressed.
While washing his face, a few photos besides the mirror caught his attention.
They were group photos of the two of them.
Photos from their childhood growing up at different stages.
Looking at himself and then at his elder brother in the mirror, Yi understood their relationship immediately — they were brothers.
This robust man is his elder brother.
Grew up together since childhood — a real brother!
Once he realized this, the way Yi looked at his elder brother changed instantly.
His older brother, who had finished changing, noticed the change in Yi’s gaze and asked with bewildered, “What’s wrong?
Why that look?”
After the realistic interactions with secondary artificial intelligent NPCs in “Chang’an”, Yi was accustomed to such reactions from NPCs, so he wasn’t surprised with his brother’s response.
“Nothing much, just have a bad premonition, that’s all.” he said, quickly heading to get changed because the Mission Countdown had started showing just at the edge of his view.
“Don’t worry!” Yancy (Elder Brother) had already finished changing and was busy adjusting his hairstyle.
—— For guiding the player better, Cloud Dream has swapped the scenes between the two brothers at the start of the game, hence a change in the elder brother’s personality.
“We will definitely win!
It’s not like it’s our first time!” Yancy remained confident.
“Yeah, yeah,” Yi nodded, “I also think we will win, just that, you look a bit gloomy…”
After getting ready, he put on his leather jacket and headed out with his elder brother towards the mission point.
Yi already now knew the upcoming plot:
Just like content in the first trailer, they were to change into armor, enter the cockpit, establish a neural connection, then — pilot the mech!
However, the personal experience of this process was totally different from the trailer —-
Richer details, more comprehensive perspective, and more delicate feelings!
The rust traces on railings and floors, scratches on the combat suit, stickers on helmet, dingy floor…
obviously, this Hunter Base had been around for considerable time, traces of times past could be seen everywhere.
This deepened the immersion Yi felt even further.
ƝονǤᴑ.ᴄᴑ
When the spinal clip was inserted into the armor, he could clearly feel multiple metallic interfaces fibrillating out from the spinal clip and connecting with an unknown device at the back of the armor.
When he put on the helmet filled with relay gel, there was a slight feeling of suffocation.
Once the gel lowered and filled into the circuit armor, the suffocation receded, but his back of the brain felt slightly heated, as if brewing something, accumulating something…
Until they entered the cockpit and logged into the operating system of the “Dangerous Wanderer”, and started with Yancy to synchronise neuron signals, the heat build-up felt as if it found a release point; driving through the circuitry of the armor, entering the spinal clip, and then through the spinal clip into the mech operating system intertwining with another heat stream.
——This process was incredibly difficult for Yi to comprehend.
Because it indeed felt as if the “consciousness was running and transmitting on circuits”.
They were so indescribable yet so convincing.
However, before he could delve deeper into this feeling, this specter of ‘running’ consciousness, suddenly entered a…
How shall I describe it?
“Stream of Consciousness”?
Yi felt himself drifting in a stream of memories, floating downstream, with snippets of memories passing by.
Some were mere shadows of old photographs, while others were memory scenes that could be entered at any moment.
At first, it was just their childhood memories, but as they entered adulthood, there were many more memories of their own.
It was his first time experiencing such feelings; he casually picked a scene that just surfaced and hadn’t ‘flowed away’ yet.
—— It was a memory of Yancy dating his first girlfriend.
They were hugging each other on the roof, stargazing.
But the moment he did so, Yancy’s voice rang in his ear, “Hey!!
What are you doing?”
“Um…
Checking out your romantic episodes.
“Yi intentionally tried to provoke Yancy.
Yancy appeared to be baffled and instructed him,”What are you thinking!
Don’t lose focus!
Don’t chase after the memories!
Concentrate!
We have to establish the link!”
“What’s the big deal about a kiss?
Why are you so uptight?” Yi thought his elder brother was just shy.
But Mark seemed to be in shock: “What the hell are you doing!”
Not only was his elder brother’s voice ringing in his ears, Yi could also hear an electronic alert: “Warning!
Neural connection highly unstable, driver lost.”
This was followed by the command center’s voice: “Wanderer!
Wanderer!
What’s happened?”
His elder brother tried to regain control: “It’s okay!
I’ve got it under control, I can handle this!”
Yi pressed on stubbornly: “What do you mean ‘lost’?
I’m perfectly lucid!”
Despite his defiant words, he wisely decided to suppress his curiosity, as the system countdown started to flash red in front of him, and he planned to carry on with his task.
But then …
“How do I get out?”
“Concentrate, focus!
Ignore everything you see!
Sense the link!
Sense the Wanderer!” His brother’s voice was filled with urgency.
“All right, I’ll give it a try,” Yi responded.
Surprisingly though, it was easy.
He easily jumped out of the memory loop and returned to the river of memories.
But before he could move to the next step, he was suddenly distracted by a new image that came into view.
It was …
An image of monsters!
Before Yi could process what was happening, he instinctively entered this memory loop.
Facing a gruesome monster of unimaginable proportions with his minuscule human body.
This creature was even more brutal and terrifying than anything he’d seen on Dinosaur Island!
With every step the monster took, large-scale devastation was caused to the city.
Buildings collapsed amidst thunderous roars, the earth shook, panicked crowds scattered, and massive concrete debris rained down, crushing cars into pancakes …
Yi stood frozen on the spot, startled by this apocalyptic scene.
The incessant sound that rang in his ears suddenly felt distant and barely audible.
As the ground trembled, the monster took slow strides, lifting its enormous foot to stomp directly at Yi!
“F*ck!”
Yi instinctively raised his arm to shield his face.
As he did this, Yi had a sudden intense realization that his hands held an enormous power – a power that could directly repel or even knock down the monster!
With death imminent, he didn’t have the time to think and instinctively pushed his hands outward with all his strength!
And then …
His hands really did emit a fiery electric light!
An infinite burst of light and heat radiated from his hands!
“That’s not right!”
Yi suddenly snapped back to his senses.
He did indeed emit a terrifying light and heat, but it wasn’t his own hands that did it, it was the Dangerous Wanderer’s hands!
The monsters were nothing more than illusions of memory and did not exist.
‘If the monster does not exist, what exactly am I attacking?’
This thought flashed across Yi’s mind.
In the following moment, the two devastating plasma cannon shots directly hit the command center of the base.
This weapon, which was potent enough to face off against giant monsters, was utterly ruinous for humans!
The terrifying plasma instantly melted all the equipment and nearly 80 percent of the personnel in the command center.
With top command wiped out and the entire command center equipment ruined, the high temperature activated the fire control measures.
Shrill alarm bells rang throughout the base and amidst the flashing red lights, large quantities of carbon dioxide foam was sprayed out.
Confused staff ran amok, trying to get away from the berserk
mech.
The entire Hunter Base was thrown into chaos in an instant.
In the driver’s cockpit of the mech, elder brother Mark stared blankly at Yi, “What on earth have you done?”
Yi blinked, “I…
I have no idea.”
Fifteen minutes later, the level 3 monster, Sickle Head, charged into the completely defenseless Hunter Base.
The Alaska Hunter Base was completely destroyed.
In front of Yi, with the vast ruin of the base as a backdrop, lines of words appeared before him –
[The destruction of the Alaskan base has completely shattered the government’s faith in the “Hunter Project”, and it turned whole attention towards promoting an internal migration defense strategy, hastening the construction of massive walls along the coastline.]
[These walls came to be known as “The Wall of Life”, “The Wall of Hope”, “The Anti-Monster Wall”, but they did not have the desired effect.]
[With an increasing number of monsters appearing in the sea, and their strength growing, the last of the Hunter Mechs fell, and all the walls came tumbling down.]
[The monsters invaded the mainland, destroying city after city, polluting lands, causing rapid climate change, and drastically deteriorating the living conditions for humans.]
[In the end …]
[Humanity, was extinct.]
—–
The screen gradually darkened.
[Game Over]
[You have reached the ending -]
[Complete Human Extinction]
“??”
Yi stared at the slowly scrolling ending credits in front of him, completely bewildered.
It took him a while to recover his voice –
“Huh???”
