Survival in the apocalypse: I exploited a bug in an infinite dungeon.

Xiao Er's expression also turned much uglier, and his gaze towards Shi Jinwei became even more wary than before.

She could clearly feel the child in her arms shrink back, as if it had heard something terrible.

"I don't know, I have amnesia, and I woke up here."

Shi Jinwei made up a reason, but it wasn't exactly a lie.

I thought they wouldn't believe me, but to my surprise, all three children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Then you must be a 'failure'."

Xiao Er said that he looked at Shi Jinwei with some pity in his eyes.

This was the first time Shi Jinwei had felt "pitied" by a child after entering the game, and she had a strange feeling in her heart.

However, she needs to understand the situation of this instance right now.

So, following the other person's lead, I asked, "What is a failed product? Is it related to my amnesia?"

"Release the mistress first, and I'll tell you."

The child is alert and not stupid.

But compared to adults who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, they are still somewhat naive.

Shi Jinwei pretended to think for a moment, then released the mistress.

The eldest brother immediately pulled the mistress away, but didn't run away.

The three children stood in front of Shi Jinwei, carefully examining this outsider, and exchanging glances.

Finally, the waiter spoke up: "The mask on your face is only worn by outsiders. Since you can't remember anything, we speculate that you are a failed attempt to be 'erased'."

Chinese culture is profound and extensive.

A few simple words, through different combinations, can describe different scenarios.

In the waiter's opinion, this combination of words did not suggest a good situation.

It is unclear whether Shi Jinwei's "experience" resonated with the children.

Their perception of her as a "failure" made them feel sorry for her.

In short, the children have become much less wary of her.

In addition, Shi Jinwei took off her gas mask, making her slightly chubby face look even more harmless.

Soon the children told her what they knew.

But after hearing the story, the situation became even more worrying.

Quiet City was indeed as the system described, once a place of scenic beauty.

But that was decades ago.

According to the timeline of this world:

A hundred years ago, this planet was no different from the real world where Shi Jinwei lived.

However, with social progress and development, relations between countries have become increasingly tense.

Nuclear war broke out after a city was suddenly attacked by nuclear weapons.

Half the world’s countries disappeared in this war.

The remaining countries are barely surviving.

The balance of nature has been completely disrupted.

Natural disasters began to occur frequently in various countries, and people struggled to make ends meet.

For ordinary people, just being alive is not easy.

But for those in high positions and those who have achieved basic needs, their thoughts are on how to save and change the world.

They discovered that many of the people who survived the nuclear war after being exposed to radiation began to exhibit unusual changes.

These changes are both good and bad.

The good thing is that some people have started to develop skills that resemble "superpowers".

The bad thing is that many viruses and bacteria that survived nuclear radiation continue to evolve, leading to the emergence of various new diseases.

Some people develop malignant lesions under the ravages of these diseases.

They become monsters that are neither human nor ghost, possessing "superpowers".

Among ordinary people, only one in a million can be considered a "superhuman" or a "pathogen".

After the leaders of various countries discovered this, they quickly arrested these people secretly for investigation.

Experiments, of course, have both successes and failures.

Successful people have become their "new weapon".

They are also known as the "new human beings".

The best outcome for a failed product is a painless death.

Many more failed attempts involved dissecting and studying the bodies after death.

The emergence of the "new weapon" fueled the desires and ambitions of the higher-ups.

Naturally evolved beings with "superpowers" are far too rare in the face of a massive population.

So they began to try to "manufacture" it artificially.

This practice is naturally inhumane.

On the surface, various countries have explicitly prohibited it.

But for some mad scientists, it's just empty talk.

They received funding from various secret organizations and conducted their own research.

As a result, some test subjects finally couldn't take it anymore, escaped from the laboratory, and revealed everything to the world.

The ordinary people who had been kept in the dark were in an uproar.

A new world war has broken out again, this time a war of "new humans".

The already battered and resource-depleted planet has been dealt another severe blow.

Quiet City was originally a city less affected by nuclear war.

However, the outbreak of the "New Human" war turned this place into the main battlefield.

Because of the nuclear war, Quiet City became one of the cities most favored by high-ranking officials to settle in.

After the war began, most of the artillery fire was directed at these high-ranking officials.

The once scenic city has been reduced to ruins, and the last few idyllic spots have become desolate.

After the war, the survivors established new cities elsewhere.

Quiet City was abandoned and designated by the higher-ups as a landfill for disposing of urban waste.

Some of the "new humans" who survived the disaster returned to higher levels of society.

Some, unwilling to be used as guinea pigs and weapons, feigned death in the war.

They chose to settle in places far from populated areas.

Quiet City is one of these people's "ideal cities".

Because of severe pollution, ordinary people cannot survive here.

Normally, apart from garbage trucks that transport garbage, there are no outsiders.

"However, it's not absolutely safe either."

At this point, the boss added.

Because from time to time, "scavengers," "adventurers," and "soldiers" from the city would come by.

The former scavenge useful trash and ventures out of the city for adventure, while the latter hunts down surviving humans.

For those living in a clean city, the outside world is a "polluted zone."

They need to wear thick protective suits when they come out.

For high-ranking officials and scientists, humans who can survive in contaminated areas, regardless of whether they have superpowers, have high research value.

But Shi Jinwei still had many questions.

For example, they were all children. If we consider the end of the war, the survivors should be at least several decades old.

For example, why can we be sure she was a failure?

She asked all her questions, and the three children answered them all.

The waiter continued, "Human experiments are still ongoing, but to strengthen management, the memories of the subjects are erased regardless of whether the experiment is successful or not."

Successful test subjects will be instilled with new memories.

Make them the "most obedient dogs" in the hands of the higher-ups.

Failed products are completely erased from memory and destroyed.

When destruction is handled by robots, oversights are inevitable.

A few "escaped" fish survived the destruction process and were transported out as "garbage".

As long as they don't say anything, the higher-ups won't find out.

Then they were rescued by humans who were barely surviving in the garbage city.

Over the decades, the number of people living here has increased, and it's impossible for new lives not to be born.
