1: Death Paradise, Survival

This book adheres to the invincible concept: brainless, brainless, and still brainless.

Brain storage!

Ding!

Welcome to Death Paradise!

Li An, who had already died, was suddenly awakened by an abrupt, cold voice, and he abruptly sat up from the pristine white ground, looking around in confusion.

“Where is this?”

At this moment, Li An’s mind was in chaos; he remembered that he had died, hadn’t he?

At the time, he was fighting in an underground boxing ring in Hulunbuir. Because he had been drugged, during the final life-or-Death combat, he suddenly felt weak and was ultimately decapitated by his opponent.

What's the situation now?

Where is this?

And why is he here?

Li An looked around with a bewildered expression, only to see that in the vast space, he was the only one present. He then looked at his body and realized that he was wearing a pure white, tight-fitting combat suit!

Ding! Biological entity detected as awake, guidance mode activated!

Welcome to Death Paradise, deceased one! This is the paradise of gods and demons, the heaven of ghosts and monsters! As one who has died, the Paradise has captured your soul factors and granted you a second life. You can choose your fate through the following options!

One, become a Death Paradise Contractor; two, give up your second life and die completely!

Ding! Please make your choice within one minute.

Just as Li An was in a daze, a translucent panel suddenly popped up in front of him. Listening to the cold voice echoing throughout the entire space, Li An immediately realized that he was being asked to make a choice.

Without hesitation, he naturally wouldn't choose Death if he could live. After all, he was still young, only 21 years old.

“Option one, I want to live! I want to live!”

Li An almost blurted it out, shouting loudly as he looked around, without the slightest hesitation in his heart.

Ding! Congratulations on becoming a Death Paradise Contractor, number 940001997.

“Wait, what’s the point of becoming a Contractor? What do you need me to do?”

The next second, Li An suddenly interrupted Death Paradise’s voice. At this moment, he had too many questions that needed answers, and what was this Contractor thing all about?

Ding! Newcomer guide being issued. Contractors can view it through their Death Imprint!

Attention!!! As a newcomer, you must pass the newcomer trial to fully unlock newcomer permissions! Currently, Death Paradise only offers the information detection function!

Zzzzt!!!

The next second, just as the cold voice finished speaking, Li An suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. He instinctively looked down and immediately saw a black-red vortex mark appear out of thin air on the back of his left hand. Immediately after, a new memory appeared in his mind.

Death Imprint!

At this moment, Li An almost instinctively recognized what the vortex represented, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

He was certain that a minute ago, he didn’t know this thing at all, but now he seemed very familiar with the imprint, which immediately made him realize the terrifying nature of Death Paradise, which had actually implanted a memory in his mind out of thin air.

But then again, if Death Paradise couldn't even do that, how could it resurrect him, a dead person, and give him a second life?

Ding! Contractor, please note, the novice assessment will begin in 1 minute!

Your trial this time is a survival trial. You need to survive in the trial area for 12 hours and meet the return conditions!

Ding! Trial activated, world locking...

Locking complete. This trial area is the derivative world · Prototype 1.

Note: Since this is a survival trial, you must try every means to survive until the end. Failure in the trial will result in obliteration!

Listening to the prompt sounds in his ears, Li An saw a large number of information prompts appear through the transparent panel in front of him. After he quickly read all the information, his face instantly tightened!

Prototype?

A-Ge’s world!

As a Blue Star native, how could Li An not have heard of this game? In fact, in his youth, he was an old fan of this game. Li An remembered that when he first played Prototype, he could play for almost an entire night.

Although A-Ge became the big villain in the second part, it is undeniable that A-Ge’s unique charm is something few game characters can match; he is the only god!

However, admiration aside, when Li An heard that he was going to the world of Prototype, his brows immediately furrowed, and he thought, “I won’t run into Alex Mercer, will I?”

Obviously, if he really came face to face with Alex Mercer, who is A-Ge, then even if he was the underground boxing champion of Hulunbuir, he might not be able to defeat the opponent, because A-Ge, Infected with the blacklight virus, was truly a god-slayer and Buddha-slayer!

This world is a derivative world. Contractors will have a chance to encounter all characters from the original world. You must strive to survive until the trial ends!

It really is!

Seeing the pop-up information, Li An’s heart skipped a beat. He really didn’t want to face A-Ge, especially when he thought of the opponent’s ultimate move, the scene when thousands of tentacles were released—it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as world-destroying!

Prompt: Semi-datafication has been enabled!

Note: Semi-datafication only allows Contractors to more intuitively understand their physical attributes. If vital organs suffer severe damage, they will immediately enter a critical state!

The two prompt sounds immediately brought Li An back to his senses, and at the same time, the countdown sound also began to ring.

Ding!

Prompt: Entering trial space. Countdown begins! 10... 8... 6... 4... 2... 1

Teleportation begins!

In an instant, Li An only felt a dizzy spell in his head. Immediately after, before he could react, he completely lost consciousness... In 1962, the U.S. Department of Defense and its subordinate advanced projects agency, DARPA, secretly established a special military organization called “Blackwatch.” The original intention of this unit was to use biochemical warfare to resist all hostile forces, and everything originated from this.

In 1963, Blackwatch researchers discovered a virus, later known as the blacklight virus. This virus could enhance the physical attributes of a species at the genetic level through DNA fusion, such as intelligence and strength. Thus, the “Redlight” project, centered around this virus, officially began.

In 1964, Blackwatch established a town called “Hope” in Idaho, USA, and relocated the families of some fallen soldiers there. Later, these residents were unknowingly injected with the Redlight virus, but in the early stages, the virus seemed to have no effect.

It wasn’t until 1967 that a young girl named Elizabeth Greene came to Hope Town with her father. She was an angelic girl. Shortly after Elizabeth moved into the town, she fell in love with a Beatle named Steve and had a child. Time thus came to 1968!

By this time, nearly four years had passed since the Redlight project began. On August 8, 1968, a terrible unknown disease outbreak suddenly occurred in Hope Town, causing a large number of residents to be Infected and turn into Infected called “Walkers.” Subsequent events gradually spiraled out of control. To quell the incident, the military ultimately decided to nuke Hope Town to destroy the evidence and bury the crimes committed by Blackwatch. This incident was also known as the Hope Town Incident!

In the Hope Town Incident, Elizabeth Greene, as the sole survivor, was found to be pregnant. She was then taken away by Blackwatch and isolated for the next few decades. Her child, known as the Evolved, was taken from her and became a research subject for Blackwatch.

Dr. McMullen founded GENTEC, which became a subordinate research institution of Blackwatch.

In the same year, McMullen restarted the Redlight project and studied new evolutionary strains of the virus from Elizabeth. During this period, Alex Mercer was recruited into GENTEC and eventually released the virus in an accident, leading to an outbreak in most areas of Manhattan.
