Chapter 1: The game starts now

　　 This is the third year that all human beings have been transferred to the underground shelter.
　　 The nuclear war three years ago almost flattened the entire surface of the earth, and less than one-third of the people successfully entered the shelter and survived under the shelter of heavy reinforced concrete.
However, the original storage of the underground refuge was only ten years, but the number of people who poured into it far exceeded the upper limit when it was originally designed. Therefore, according to the calculations of the scientists and the refuge's controlling brain, all underground refuges The resources will be exhausted in five years at the latest.
　　 Although every refuge has an ecological cycle system, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the huge daily consumption of people in the refuge.

　　 Qi Lin looked at the game cabin that looked like a coffin, and couldn't help falling into a deep pain.
"It is said that the game cabins of those wealthy people are not like this, they are advanced, and their chances of resurrection are more than three times." On another game cabin placed side by side, sat a teenager in a dirty down jacket. On the left chest, you can barely see a Boehdden logo. Qi Lin vaguely remembers that this seems to be a very famous brand before the war.
　　 "As the mastermind said, the supplies are in short supply, so the slums can only be reduced, and if enough wealth is earned in the game, it can be exchanged with the materials in reality."
　　 Qi Lin said while looking at a book similar to the manual that was issued along with the game cabin.
"Hey, do you believe this too? It was said in the previous promotional video that it is not a dream for the poor to live in the rich area of ​​the refuge, but in fact? It may be that when the local tyrant enters the game, there will be a novice gift package, and we— —" The down jacket boy said angrily.
There is a huge gap between the slum area and the rich area of ​​the refuge. If you want to compare it, it is probably that one is similar to the dark tunnel in the movie tunnel war, and the other is a luxurious underground villa full of science and technology. With swimming pool, beach and artificial sun.
　　 Qi Lin: "Xiao Lei, do you remember a bad advertisement for a web game before the end of the world?"
　　 Xiao Lei: "Huh?"
Qi Lin slowly tore open a bag of man-made synthetic food, poured the white paste that resembled melted soap into his bowl, and then said: "It's the start of a dog, a knife, and equipment. Pick up..."
　　 "I'm going? Did you eat too much synthetic food and your brain was assimilated? Besides, where did the dog come from?"
　　 Qi Lin pointed at the young man who was still sitting on the "coffin" with the spoon in his hand.
　　 "You are looking for a fight!"
　　……
　　 Fighting and fighting, before the time set by the mastermind came, the two teenagers still lay in the "coffin" obediently.
"Wasteland Survival Code", a completely immersive game developed to train outstanding humans who can survive on the wasteland. It is said that this game is made to completely simulate the environment on the ground, in order to make these lives People in the underground can adapt to life on the ground through games and prepare for the return of humans to the ground in the future.
However, the game designer has laid down an almost cruel rule. After entering the game, each player has only three free resurrection opportunities. Once the resurrection opportunities are exhausted and then die, it means that the player is unqualified. The "eliminators".
　　The end that the eliminated ones will face will be completely cut off the supply of food, water, daily necessities, electricity, and even oxygen by the main brain of the refuge.
　　 In other words, complete death in the game is equivalent to death in reality.
　　 If someone refuses to enter the game, they will be exiled by the mastermind. The so-called exile is to be thrown directly on the ground to play the live-action version of "Rules for Survival in Wasteland."
　　In the underground world where national boundaries have been completely blurred, the intelligent mastermind that controls all refuges is a symbol of supreme power.
　　 And to define a person's dignity in the last days, that is the authority and wealth he possesses on the main mind.
　　 The social class exists at all times, even in the last days.
　　……
　　 At 12: 0: 0 noon on April 1, 2041, a day called "April Fools' Day" before the end of the world, the "Rules for Survival of Wasteland" was officially opened.
　　 "The player's biological information has been authenticated, and the identity is confirmed, do you enter the game now?" In the darkness, Qi Lin only heard a cold synthetic female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Yes."
　　 The darkness slowly faded, and Qi Lin found himself in a closed cuboid room with only one table and three metal boxes on the table.
　　 "Hello, you are the 9527th player who has access to the game world, do you choose a new name for yourself?" The artificially synthesized female voice echoed in the room.
"9527? Such a coincidence?" Qi Lin was a little surprised. As an old movie lover, he clearly understood the particularity of this serial number. Perhaps no one in the wasteland would care about such a series of plain numbers. However, at least it can be a memorial to the kind of life that was gone before.
　　 "No need, just this one."
　　 "Player 9527, as a reward for the first 10,000 players who access the game, will have the right to choose one of the three treasure chests as the starting item."
　　 "Is there such a benefit?" Qi Lin was stunned. The main brain restricted everyone to enter the game within 24 hours after the start of the game at the latest. He was suddenly a little grateful that he chose to log in to the game as soon as possible.
　　 The three metal boxes were lying quietly on the table. From the outside, there was no difference at all. Qi Lin casually pointed to the middle one, and UU Reading www.uukānshu.com said, "I choose this."
　　 The other two boxes immediately disappeared out of thin air, and the remaining box slowly opened the lid amid the sound of precision gears.
　　 "Congratulations, get the item [Swiss Army Knife]."
　　 Qi Lin took this gadget, which was more than ten centimeters long and was inlaid with red and white trademarks, from the box, and just focused on it, a dense line of small characters appeared in his mind.
"[Swiss Army Knife], a green quality item with dozens of functions such as dagger, knife, scissors, flat knife, can opener, screwdriver, tweezers, saw, pliers, grindstone, awl, hook, ballpoint pen, compass, etc. A must-have product for home travel, murder and surplus."
　　 The Swiss Army Knife that Qi Lin got was obviously the largest among various models and the most versatile, and it was heavy in his hand.
The Swiss Army Knife cost hundreds of dollars before the war, and in underground shelters, even if it is a copycat, the price of this multi-purpose knife has also been fired up on the black market, generally living in slums. People can't afford it at all.
　　 "The luck is not bad." Qi Lin didn't know what was in the other two treasure chests, but for now, the Swiss Army Knife is obviously a good choice.
　　 Living in wasteland, adaptability is the most important thing. A Swiss Army knife with dozens of functions can bring more help than those with a single function.
　　 "After sixty seconds, you will be teleported to a random safe location in the game. At that time, your "Wasteland Survival Code" will officially open. I wish you a happy game!"
　　 "Sixty..."
"fifty-nine……"
　　 "Fifty-eight..."
　　……
　　 "Zero...!"
