Chapter 1

In Jiangcheng, the moon and stars are sparse, and the cicadas are chirping.

"Shabu-shabu!——"

Shen Zhenhua suddenly sat up, her chest rising and falling. She rested for a while, turned sideways, and skillfully took the cube on the bedside table in her hand.

Shen Zhehua lowered her head and touched it. It felt the same as before, it was a small square.

No, she already knew it when she got this small cube. She did this just to reassure herself.

Shen Zhenhua adjusted her breathing and put away her gaze on the small square. The next second, she threw the small square in her hand in one direction.

She has done this action countless times.

There was a "pop" sound, and the light came on. After a second, the sound of small squares hitting the floor and rolling was heard.

Shen Zhenhua squinted her eyes slightly. Although she was mentally prepared, the lights suddenly turned on, which inevitably hurt her eyes. It took a while before she could endure the dazzling light coming from above her head.

She began to look around. There were posters hanging on the wall, a computer desk not far away, a box of mineral water, a box of ready-to-eat bread and chocolate... and a pot of mushrooms.

The familiar environment slowly calmed down Shen Zhenhua's restless heart.

She's still here.

Shen Zhenhua's complexion was unhealthy white, and there were black spots under her eyes. She had forgotten when she had not had a good night's sleep. She had nightmares every night, causing her to have a bad night's sleep.

Nightmares are especially real. One day the system comes, the steel jungle collapses in an instant, alien beasts and monsters come one after another, and mutated plants grow crazily. It's like playing a holographic game, 100% real. If you get hurt in a nightmare, you can really feel the pain, and you won't wake up until the designated time.

Every time Shen Zhenhua comes back from the "Nightmare World", she will think that she has traveled to that world and back again, because it is so real!

Shen Zhenhua shook her head helplessly, this is really an "alternative" holographic game.

The supplies in the room were only stocked by her because of the "Nightmare World" incident.

To be honest, Shen Zhenhua was afraid that one day she would never wake up from her dream again.

She just threw small cubes to make sure she was still in the original world. She would do this every day without exception.

Shen Zhenhua got off the bed and planned to wash up. The only benefit this nightmare brought her was that it made her work and rest very regular! You must fall asleep at ten o'clock in the evening and wake up at six o'clock in the morning.

Shen Zhenhua rubbed her waist. Although she had a regular schedule, her health was still not good.

Shen Zhenhua is currently a sophomore, and she has classes at 8 a.m. today. Now she takes a shower, goes downstairs to have breakfast, and walks to school in about the same time.

Due to her schedule and rest, Shenhua's ears are very sensitive. If she hears harsh, sharp or loud conversations for a long time, her ears will be very uncomfortable and painful.

For the sake of her own physical and mental health, and not to trouble others to accommodate her because of her physical condition, Shen Zhenhua did not live on campus, but moved out directly during her freshman year.

Moreover, how happy it is to live alone! No need to maintain relationships or anything like that.

Shen Zhehua staggered a few steps as soon as she got out of bed. If she hadn't reacted quickly, held on to the bedside table and sat down on the bed, she might have been thrown into a trap.

Shen Zhenhua covered her chest and gasped for air. Damn, those eyes were so powerful that her legs were weak.

Shen Zhenhua finished playing in the "Nightmare World" today, and was finally fixed on a huge red eye. She was walking on the road, and a passerby pointed out that the fog in the sky had disappeared, so she looked over curiously, and the result was... When he looked up, he saw a huge red eye hanging in the sky, and he woke up the next second.

Shen Zhenhua was just about to stand up when her peripheral vision glanced at the old-fashioned mechanical alarm clock placed on the bedside table.

2:34pm.

The hand that Shen Zhenhua was holding began to stiffen, and her body remained motionless, not even blinking her eyes.

After a while, Shen Zhenhua's pupils trembled. She quickly ran to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened the curtains, and the moonlight shot in through the glass instantly.

Outside, it was really night... Shen Zhenhua stretched out her hand and touched the glass in disbelief.

how so.

How could it be after two o'clock in the evening?

Shouldn't she wake up at six in the morning?

As if in response, a bolt of lightning flashed across, followed by a thunderstorm. In just a second or two, a thin layer of rainwater accumulated on the ground.

Shen Zhenhua was awakened by a thunder. She walked to the bed and lay down heavily on the bed. Simmons was pushed up and bounced twice.

Shen Zhenhua raised her right hand, looked at her right wrist, and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the halo did not appear.

Halo is a must-have item for everyone in the "Nightmare World". After the end of the world, there will be a system that binds all human beings, allowing them to survive in the "Nightmare World" that is full of dangers.

After returning from the "Nightmare World" for the first time, Shen Zhenhua checked the relevant information online. The national leaders, technological development, etc. of that world were different from those of Mercury. Even people with the same name and surname had different identities in the two worlds. The appearance and personality are also completely different.

This also allowed Shen Zhenhua to break away from the reality of the "nightmare world" to some extent, allowing her to find a sense of belonging on Mercury.

She grew up on Mercury.

But even so, Shen Zhenhua was still a little worried about being devastated by the "nightmare world", fearing that one day that system would appear in the real world and tell all mankind that the end of the world was coming.

As soon as Shen Zhehua finished her thoughts, an extremely familiar cold mechanical voice sounded in her mind.

【Congratulations to all humans on Planet 2068, for binding the points redemption system. 】

[However, I am sorry to tell you that the end of you, the humans of Planet 2068, is coming. 】

【Now you have thirty minutes to go to the clearing. Human beings who have not gone to the clearing in thirty minutes will meet——death. 】

[On the contrary, humans who go to the clearing within thirty minutes, you will successfully activate the system and gain a glimmer of hope in the end]

[Happy gaming, humans of planet 2068. 】

The second the first indifferent mechanical sound sounded, Shen Zhenhua quickly got up from the bed as a conditioned reflex, rushed to the corner to pick up the survival backpack and a pot of mushrooms that he had prepared before, then opened the door and ran downstairs.

Damn it, isn't she a crow's mouth? She just said system system.

When the "Nightmare World" was bound to the system, it was also the point redemption system.

Shen Zhehua lives on the tenth floor. There is an elevator, but she doesn't dare to take it. The sound insulation of this building is not very good. Not long after the system sounded, she heard clattering footsteps and shouts. She couldn't tell how many people there were. Will wake up, and if it is blocked, it will really mean that the sky is not responding, and the earth is not working.

She has experienced her first mission in the "Nightmare World". If she fails to reach the clearing as required by the mission, she will meet death as the system said.

No one can escape the failure penalty of the system!

The one she experienced in the "Nightmare World" was an "earthquake". The jungle-like steel buildings, houses, and everything that could be accommodated fell to the ground in an instant, and those who did not escape would be trapped inside.

And those who step out of the house but do not reach the open space will also die!

Those who arrive in the open space to complete system tasks will not be affected in any way, and the "earthquake" that occurs has nothing to do with them!

I just don't know if this mission failure will be an "earthquake" like what happened in the "Nightmare World".

Shen Zhehua ran directly to the stairs holding the flowerpot and carrying her backpack. Time waited for no one. She ran down the stairs three at a time and reached the fifth floor in less than two minutes.

At this time, people were already running over dragging luggage of all sizes. Some even had pots and pans hanging on their bodies and carried large and small bags in their hands.

"Dig, brother, you are awesome, you have packed so many things in such a short time."

"Why are you packing so many things? It's so cumbersome."

"Stop talking, stop talking. Does anyone know what that sound is? Isn't it someone playing a prank?"

"Who knows, anyway, go down first, it will only take half an hour. Anyway, I would rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist. What's more, when such a mysterious thing appears, I still care about my own life."

"Brother, that's good, I think so too."

Shen Zhenhua didn't pay much attention to what these people were talking about. She had to hurry down before the time was up, not only to survive, but more importantly, for the bracelet she would get after completing the mission!

If you want to survive the doomsday world, a bracelet is essential! It's hard to move without a bracelet.

However, as there were more and more people, Shen Zhenhua wanted to be the same as at the beginning. It was a bit difficult to go down three steps at a time, so she could only go with the flow and rush down quickly.

Chapter 2

"Ah!" A screaming voice came up from downstairs, followed by screams one after another.

Everyone's bodies stiffened for a moment, and someone said silently, "No one fell down."

Even Shen Zhenhua paused for a moment. She rubbed her ears, trying to relieve the pain from the sudden scream that strongly stimulated her eardrums.

Shen Zhehua cursed secretly, if the sound was louder, the lack of safety would affect her speed of going downstairs.

She was tortured in the "Nightmare World" before. It was not until later that she used some materials from mutant beasts and mutant plants to develop a healing potion, which made her ears the same as those of normal people. However, it was not a permanent recovery, but I have to drink it every once in a while.

There was no magic potion now, so she had no choice but to endure it, took out the necessary earplugs, put them in her ears, and used them if they could have some effect. This was a critical moment.

The screams stirred up waves.

"Damn it, no, I haven't gone down yet!"

"Help, who knows what's going on ahead? Can we still go down?"

"Why didn't I know there were so many people in our building before?"

The screams from the front caused the crowd to go downstairs at a slower speed, and the people coming down the stairs from behind started to squeeze in again. It was almost like people were squeezing and bumping into each other.

"Stop squeezing, damn, don't come up either."

"Damn! The elevator below was squeezed open, and many people fell into the elevator shaft."

"If you don't want to die, don't squeeze in!"

"How could the elevator be squeezed out of the way?"

"The elevator is out of order. There are so many people squeezing around. Everyone wants to get on the elevator, but none of them can. I heard from people below that the person who got in first was squeezed into a meat pie."

Shen Zhenhua was so squeezed that she couldn't move. She listened to the people chatting around her and counted the time silently in her heart. Two minutes had passed since she got here from the fifth floor, and she still had twenty-six minutes left.

She had plenty of time, but Shen Zhenhua didn't want to waste time, she just wanted to reach the clearing quickly.

Shen Zhehua touched the handrail of the stairs and looked down. It was not very high. It was initially estimated that it was the middle staircase between the second and third floors. Just as she was about to turn over and go down, someone grabbed her arm.

"Little girl, be careful. This handrail hasn't been repaired for a long time. There are so many people now, so be careful to squeeze in." An elderly woman said a few words worriedly when she saw that Shen Zhenhua seemed to want to jump off. , "And it's so high that if you fall, you won't be able to keep it intact and you'll get broken bones."

Shen Zhenhua was stunned for a moment. She took off her aunt's hand and said, "Okay, aunt, thank you. Get down early."

Her courage has long been trained in the "Nightmare World", and she is not afraid at all.

After saying that, Shen Zhenhua hugged the flowerpot, climbed over the railing with one hand, and jumped down directly by seizing the opportunity.

The aunt screamed and tried to catch this desperate young man, but failed.

"Bang!——" It was the sound of the railings colliding with each other.

Shen Zhehua jumped to the second floor and grabbed the handrail of the second floor. The movement she made shocked the people blocking the second floor, causing an exclamation and everyone's eyes falling on her.

Shen Zhenhua didn't care, didn't even look at her, as if she didn't know anyone was looking at her, she looked forward calmly.

From her position, she could just see the elevator connected to the fire escape. The silver elevator door was gone, replaced by a dark hole.

Shen Zhenhua suddenly realized that it turned out that the elevator was really jammed, and even the door was squeezed shut.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhenhua repeated the action and jumped from the second floor to the bottom. It didn't take a minute to reach the bottom.

Shen Zhehua's handsome operation stunned a group of people, especially the aunt who was always paying attention and was frightened by Shen Zhehua.

"I'm going to stop here and go down."

"I want to re-engrave! Re-engrave!"

The handsome and unnamed Shen Zhenhua just jumped downstairs and ran out directly with the flow of people. The hall of this building is very large, and everyone running out is in one direction, so there is no blockage.

The top will be blocked entirely because the top is squeezing the bottom, and the bottom is squeezing the top, forming a situation where bread and cheese cannot go up or come out.

Everyone who witnessed Shen Zhenhua's escape operation rolled up their sleeves one by one and wanted to repeat it.

As a result, a male college student failed to catch the fall and fell directly from the second floor to the first floor. The pain was so painful that his tailbone felt like it was cracking. He couldn't care less, so he got up from the ground and ran outside.

The male college student's operation also woke everyone up, it's not that easy to replicate!

Shen Zhenhua tried her best and ran towards the basketball court as fast as she could. It was still raining, and the raindrops hit her face. The wind was so strong that it hurt her face.

The basketball court has always been occupied by square dancing ladies at night. The basketball court has a large open area, which fully meets the requirements of the system. Moreover, the basketball court is the only one close to Shen Zhenhua's building.

The heavy rain is still falling, and the sound of rain is accompanied by thunder.

Shen Zhenhua was completely soaked from the beginning, but she couldn't care less now and ran to the basketball court risking her life.

The sound of heavy rain hit the ground with a "tap-tat-tat" sound, and water polo splashed up where Shen Hua stepped on it. Before the water polo could fall, she ran until only her shadow was left.

Previously, the person in charge of the community considered demolishing the basketball court and building a small botanical garden. However, due to strong opposition from basketball enthusiasts and square dancing mothers, it was retained.

However, because of this incident, the relationship between basketball fans and the square dancing aunts has eased. They can play during the day and play at night, not to mention how leisurely it is. Sometimes basketball fans can also receive support from the square dancing aunts.

And Shen Zhenhua passes by the basketball court every day on her way to and from school, and sometimes she is fed by the square dancing aunts, and everyone who sees her has a good reputation.

Therefore, Shen Zhenhua listened to the weak music coming to the bedroom and did not complain.

It took Shen Zhenhua a minute to run to the basketball court. She was able to run so quickly thanks to her regular exercise, otherwise she would not have been able to run here in such a short time.

The moment Shen Zhenhua stepped onto the basketball court, the cold mechanical sound sounded in her mind again.

【Congratulations to the player for completing the task within the specified time. The game bracelet has been distributed. Please activate it. The game bracelet is unique. Please keep it carefully. 】

After hearing this, Shen Zhenhua started to activate the binding skillfully, and then walked slowly. She had been running too intensely just now. If she stopped suddenly, she would suffer from hypoglycemia.

On the seventh day after the player's death, the bracelet will disappear.

【Congratulations to player Shen Zhenhua for successfully activating the game bracelet. 】

【Players need to carefully read the follow-up tasks and doomsday instructions on the game bracelet. 】

【Congratulations to the players for binding the points redemption system. 】

On Shen Zhehua's right wrist, a transparent and blue-lighting game bracelet appeared, with a simple logo of the points redemption system and a gold coin pattern on it.

The rain has not stopped yet and is getting heavier. I don't know if I am crying or saying goodbye to the happy days in the past.

The rain hit the game bracelet, and Shen Zhenhua's pajamas were soaked all over. They were so wet that they stuck together, and the corners of her clothes were dripping.

Calm Hua ignored it and pressed directly on the gold coin pattern. After activating the game bracelet, the system will inform the player how to open the game bracelet.

Shen Zhenhua has done this action countless times in the "Nightmare World".

Only players can open the game bracelet, and only their own game bracelet can be opened.

Chapter 3

A transparent light screen with blue light appeared in front of Shen Zhuhua's eyes. The opening animation was very simple. It was the logo of [Points Redemption System], and then a line of words appeared.

[Players are welcome to log in to the points redemption system again]

Players can only see their own light screen and cannot see the light screens of other players. The [Points Redemption System] protects everyone's privacy to a great extent.

After entering the bracelet page, it shows that Shen Zhenhua's first novice task has been completed, followed by the time to complete
