Chapter 398: Black Hole Extinction (1)
Beep!
Accompanied by a beep, Chen Yu regained his senses. Looking around, he found that he had returned to the Super Floating Castle in the real world.
“It looks like I died.”
Stretching out his hands, Chen Yu looked at the veins on his arms. He then sighed faintly and said, “Fighting the virus for three days and three nights really is an uncomfortable experience.”
The death he suffered this time had a different impact on him compared to his previous deaths.
Although he had died peacefully, the death had been deeply ingrained into his mind.
His view toward human civilization and life as a whole had also matured significantly.
The fact that humans were able to survive in this chaotic and dangerous universe for such a long time was truly a miracle.
[Awoo!]
[This is too addictive! I finally got to see how I died this time!]
[???]
[I can proudly say that I’m a person who has died multiple times.]
[How did you guys die? I watched myself get eaten alive.]
[I got gnawed to death by a zombie rat.]
[I’m so happy to die!]
[I should be the best here. I survived for two weeks until I ran out of food. I ended up getting infected when I went out to scavenge for food. By then, every living creature on the street had died, and there were animal bones all around.]
[Nice!]
[Without animals, bacteria will also go extinct under the attack of the phages. Afterward, the phages themselves will go extinct after running out of hosts to infect.]
Raising his wrist, Chen Yu looked at the bullet comments displayed on his watch and fell into thought for a moment. He then faced the camera and said, “I’m finally back. I should be one of the longest survivors in the virus world, right? I survived for three days before getting fully infected. It seems having a better physique helps.
“I have kept a record of the world everyone died in. I will publish an edited version tomorrow, so minors and friends who abstained from this event can watch how the world gets destroyed by the virus. I believe you will have a new perspective toward life once you watch it.
“Now, let us continue with the review. I won’t waste time with words. We still have seven disasters to experience, so start voting! The disaster that gets the most vote will be chosen first!”
After Chen Yu finished speaking, the livestream’s bullet comment section exploded into action once more.
[888!]
[8888!]
[10! I want to look at aliens.]
[Do you do repeats? I want to have a date with a zombie…]
Amidst the flood of bullet comments, Chen Yu noticed that the total viewer count had rapidly fallen by 120 million.
These abstainers were all people who’ve had “enough” deaths.
“Sure enough, the masochists are a minority…”
…
Simultaneously, inside the Chen family’s abode, the husky, who had been licking its fur on Chen Yu’s bed while watching the livestream, stood up abruptly.
“What’s wrong with you? You gave me a scare.” Turning to look at the husky, Little Peach asked, “Are you finally entering your estrus period?”
“…What estrus period?”
“The estrus period of doggies. Do you need me to find a female doggy for you? There are related services online. What breed do you want?”
“Don’t spout nonsense. It’s not this.”
“What’s wrong with you, then?”
“I feel like something is amiss,” the husky said, frowning as it held up its phone.
“What’s amiss?”
“I’m not sure. It just feels like I’ve overlooked something very important.”
“Is it related to the virus world?” Little Peach asked.
“Yes.” Nodding, the husky got out of the bed and paced around the room in irritation. “I think there is a huge bug in that virus world! If I hadn’t seen one of the audience’s bullet comments just now, even I wouldn’t have realized it.”
“What bug?”
“It’s a bug that can destroy the world.”
Stopping its feet, the husky turned off its phone and looked at Little Peach. “I got infected within the first ten minutes of entering that virus world since I’m a dog, so I’m not very clear about the follow-up development. Tell me in detail about what happened afterward.”
“Nothing happened.” Scratching her head, Little Peach said, “Humanity just got destroyed. Mr. Chen also got infected and died eventually. Including the plant life in that world, every living thing on the planet went extinct. Not long afterward, Jinzhou City began weathering, and the sky ended up getting covered in sand.”
“Were you together with Boss Chen in the virus world?”
“That’s right.” Blushing, Little Peach said shyly, “We spent an indescribably wonderful time together.”
“…Other than that, did nothing else happen?” the husky asked, refusing to give up.
“Um…” Placing an index finger on the corner of her lip, Little Peach pondered for a while before saying, “I don’t think so.”
“I need an accurate answer.”
“Nothing more happened.”
“How did you die? You’re a robot, so you should be able to ignore the virus, right?”
“Mhm. The virus was ineffective against me. I don’t need to eat, either. I can survive so long as there is sunlight. I can even replace my parts by myself. However, I chose to kill myself in the end.”
“When did you commit suicide?”
“I self-detonated on the second day after Mr. Chen passed away. I blew Mr. Chen’s body sky high.”
The husky: “…”
“I flew as well. The two of us flew together like a pair of wings.”
The husky: “…”
“Isn’t it romantic?”
“Scram.”
Failing to get any important information out of Little Peach, the husky grew even more irritated.
“This won’t do. Something bad is about to happen…”
…
The Pacific Ocean, Super Floating Castle:
“Three, two, one! Stop!”
With a wave of his right hand, Chen Yu pressed the Natural Disaster Generator’s start button. After waiting for the virtual menu to appear, he clicked [8. Black Hole Devouring] without hesitation.
“Just like last time, everyone’s choices were roughly centered. Everybody wishes to experience what it feels like to get swallowed by a black hole. In fact, I’m personally looking forward to it as well. To be precise, out of the many disasters available, I’m most eager to experience getting devoured by a black hole.”
After saying so, Chen Yu pointed at the sky and continued, “Remember the primordial black hole in our solar system? At that time, my biggest wish was to enter the black hole and see what it was like inside. Now that I can get resurrected if I die, I definitely won’t let this opportunity slip by.”
[+1! We might be able to enter another world.]
[The most likely outcome is that you’ll be torn into atoms, and your consciousness dissipates.]
[That is the theoretical outcome from observing the black hole from an outsider’s perspective. Who can guess what humans will actually experience once inside?]
[I’m going to die beautifully this time!]
Ten seconds later, the Natural Disaster Generator’s virtual screen lit up with a faint red light. Seeing this, Chen Yu activated the E·I Force Field immediately. He then flew out the window and hovered in the air.
“If speaking purely in terms of lethality, the Black Hole Devouring disaster should be the strongest. Earth itself and potentially the entire solar system might get removed from existence in this disaster. Hence, to completely record the whole process, I must protect myself and ensure that I can survive for as long as possible. Everyone, you should get ready as well.
“The black hole is coming.
“The Grim Reaper is here to take us away…”
