The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

Zhang Wei's pupils suddenly contracted.

His blood seemed to freeze instantly.

knocking.

It's neither too light nor too heavy, but very rhythmic.

thump.

dong dong.

It felt as if they weren't knocking on his dilapidated wooden door to his rented room, but rather striking his heart directly.

How did he know?

How could he possibly know my real name!

How could he possibly have found this place!

Zhang Wei's thoughts came to a standstill. The self who had been wildly shouting "I'm just a worthless life" deflated instantly like a punctured balloon.

A chill ran straight to my head.

He could even imagine a blank-faced man standing outside the door, perhaps holding a knife or something else, just waiting for him to open the door.

"President?"

"President, what's wrong? You're not scolding anymore?"

His trusted confidant noticed that he suddenly froze and cautiously asked a question.

Zhang Wei couldn't utter a single word.

His throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he could only make a "hoarse" sound as he breathed.

Everything in the game became unreal.

The only real sound was the constant knocking on the door.

thump.

dong dong.

"Who is it!"

Suddenly, an impatient, cursing voice came from outside the door.

"Why are you ringing the doorbell in the middle of the night! Can't a person get some sleep?!"

Then came the voice of another young man, tinged with apology.

"Excuse me, ma'am, I'm a delivery person. I pressed the wrong button. It should be 402."

The footsteps faded into the distance.

The world fell silent.

Zhang Wei stood there stunned for more than ten seconds before collapsing like a lump of mud, panting heavily.

Cold sweat had soaked through the cheap T-shirt inside his gaming pod.

Delivery person?

Did you press the wrong button?

He let out a long sigh, and then an overwhelming surge of anger and humiliation welled up in his heart.

Damn it, are you trying to scare me?

Is that all the tricks you've got?

He felt like he had been tricked.

That bastard called "Alien" is impossible to find! The other party is just using his real name from the email, along with some random noise, trying to scare him offline!

"Hold!"

Zhang Wei suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed back to the edge of the control tower.

"You bastard! Is that all you've got?!"

"You think you can scare me like that?"

"Come on, keep going, I'll be waiting for you right here today."

As he yelled, he quickly switched out of the game interface and dialed a number he knew by heart.

The moment the call connected, the madness on his face instantly turned into fawning and anxiety.

"Hey, Dad! You need to do me a favor!"

"I've messed with a tough guy in the game. Use your connections to find this guy with the ID 'Alien'! I want him dead! Right now!"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Instead of his father's authoritative voice, the caller received a cold busy tone.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment.

"What's going on? Are they in a meeting?"

He frowned, a flicker of unease crossing his mind, but it was quickly suppressed by his anger.

We'll settle accounts with him after this battle is over.

He switched back to the game, ready to continue his tirade.

But the moment he returned to the game screen, he froze.

All the surviving players on the city wall were stunned.

The once pitch-black night sky suddenly lit up.

An enormous virtual screen, like a miracle, slowly unfolded above the Mad Dragon Guild fortress.

There was no game screen or any text.

Yes, it is, but it's just a TV station logo.

—Donghai TV.

Everyone was stunned.

"What's going on? You can watch TV in the game?"

"Who's behind this cheater's scheme again?"

"What does he want? Does he want us to watch the evening news?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, the screen lit up, and a beautifully made-up female lead appeared on the screen, her voice clearly carrying throughout the entire battlefield.

"According to the latest news from this station, Zhang Jianguo, chairman of Tianlong Group, a well-known enterprise in our city, was criminally detained by our city's economic investigation department half an hour ago on suspicion of multiple major economic crimes, including massive illegal fundraising, market manipulation, and malicious tax evasion."

The scene changes.

A magnificent skyscraper appeared on the screen, with the four large characters "Tianlong Group" on the top of the building standing out prominently in the night.

A long cordon was set up at the entrance of the building, and countless police cars flashing red and blue lights were parked downstairs.

Immediately afterwards, the camera gave a close-up shot.

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with his hair neatly combed, and dressed in an expensive custom-made suit, but with a pair of glittering silver bracelets on his hands, was escorted by two uniformed officers and shoved into a police car, his face pale.

Despite his desperate attempts to keep his head down, his face remained perfectly clear even under the high-definition lens.

On the control tower.

Zhang Wei's roar abruptly ended.

He seemed to have his throat tightly choked; his mouth was open, but no sound could be uttered.

He stared intently at the disheveled figure on the screen, his body beginning to tremble uncontrollably.

"No...it's impossible..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

"dad……"

That omnipotent father who could control everything in Donghai City.

That was his biggest backer.

That's the source of his confidence to act recklessly in the game.

Now, he's become a criminal suspect in the news.

Why?

How could this happen?

His mind was a complete mess. The busy phone call from earlier, at that moment, was like a lightning bolt, cleaving through all the fog.

They're not in a meeting.

Instead... he's being arrested.

"Thump."

The megaphone staff in Zhang Wei's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

His legs buckled, and he knelt stiffly atop the cold command tower, as if all his bones had been removed.

It’s over.

It's all over.

His pride and his unwavering support proved as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of the demon called "Alien."

It broke with one poke.

The battlefield was deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned by this surreal scene.

Can a game stream a real-life arrest scene live?

And the one who got arrested was none other than his own guild leader's own father?

What kind of god-like operation is this?

Is this a form of revenge that carbon-based life forms could come up with?

Everyone's eyes were instinctively drawn to the figure kneeling on the ground.

mercy?

No.

It is fear.

An extreme fear of unknown forces that comes from the depths of one's soul.

In the dead silence, the golden world announcement lit up slowly once again.

This time, the content remains concise.

[World Announcement (Alien): A friendly reminder that game accounts must be linked to an adult's identity information. Minors should play under parental supervision.]

"puff--"

One of the players closest to Zhang Wei saw the announcement and couldn't hold back any longer, spraying a mouthful of cola all over the screen.

Parents accompanying?

His parents have been arrested, so what's the point of him accompanying him?

Murder and kill!

This is the ultimate way to kill someone by destroying their spirit!

Zhang Wei stared at the announcement, his vision went black, his body swayed, and he fell straight backward.

She fainted again.

Inside the gaming pod.

Li Haotian stretched and turned off the live stream.

On the Excel spreadsheet in front of him, the name 【狂龙丶从头再来】 was dragged by him with the mouse, and a bright red strikethrough was drawn across it.

His gaze slowly moved downwards.

It landed on the ID that had consistently ranked first on the power rankings.

【Mythology, Indra】.
