This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1301 - 576 - _2

Over the past four days, the fragments of memories were coming back to her consciousness.

"System... hibernation zone... everyone..."

Chun Li, in agony, clutched her head. A flood of intrusive memories made her consciousness blur, and combined with the continuous blood loss from her abdomen, Chun Li soon couldn’t withstand the pressure and fainted.

...

It was hard to tell how much time had passed when Chun Li woke up from her coma. She sat up abruptly, only then noticing she was lying on the bed in her own bamboo hut.

The door was tightly shut, the mechanical man that had been at the doorway had long disappeared, and the wound on her stomach had healed as if new, leaving only a shallow scar, still reminding her that everything before was not an illusion.

"System Master, sob..."

Chun Li froze, first mourning the System that had died in the bombardment for a second, then she remembered the important matter, "Right, the truth about the hibernation zone, I must tell everyone quickly..."

Chun Li leaped from the bed, dragging her still somewhat weak body, and sprinted out of the house, heading straight for the residence of Medicine Granny.

However, as soon as she stepped out, she found the once thriving Panda Village now eerily deserted, no sight of any adults, only the cries of young children and some children of about her age hurrying past.

"Where are all the adults?" Chun Li hurriedly stopped a passing Panda youth to ask.

"Don’t you know? All the adults have been captured, they said it’s to initiate the ’hibernation program’..." said the youth.

"What? When did this happen?" Chun Li exclaimed in shock, urgently inquiring further.

"Just yesterday the mechanical men came to the village with an announcement, saying there’s an urgent need for resources, all pandas over the age of one hundred need to start the hibernation program prematurely... oh, and it seems not just our village, all races in Eden received similar announcements..." the young man scratched his head and said.

Chun Li became even more anxious and asked quickly, "Where are the adults now?"

"They’ve already gone to the hibernation zone... just an hour ago, the army of mechanical men came and took all the adults from the village... hey, where are you going?"

Without waiting for the youth to finish, Chun Li had already turned and sprinted towards the entrance of the village.

"Why didn’t I notice yesterday..."

Chun Li looked pained as she recalled Medicine Granny’s strange expression yesterday. At that time, she hadn’t paid attention, but now it seemed likely that the reason she was released by the mechanical men was because Medicine Granny negotiated with them, agreeing to the whole clan undergoing hibernation in exchange for her release.

At this moment, Chun Li had no time to think further. She shook her head to clear those mixed thoughts and hurried towards the hibernation zone.

After chasing for over an hour, she finally saw a long line of people on the road ahead.

Indeed, it wasn’t just the Panda race, there were Tauren, members of the Cyclops Clan... all races from Eden were gathered in the queue, forming a massive, moving line.

Surprisingly, not a single person in the queue was resisting, all silently following the queue, only a few individuals quietly humming ancient songs passed down from their races, their voices merging into one, as if they were bidding farewell to this world.

"Medicine Granny! Medicine Granny..."

Chun Li shouted loudly, without care, and plunged into the queue of Panda people.

The pandas hearing the sound couldn’t help but stop and look back.

"Chun Li? Why are you..."

In the front of the queue, an elderly Panda turned his head in surprise, seeing the girl running towards him, but quickly noticed the blood on her body: "Are you injured?"

"I’m fine, it’s already healed..."

Chun Li shook her head, quickly bringing up the urgent matter, "Medicine Granny, you can’t go into the hibernation zone! The so-called ’sleep’ is a lie, it’s the lies of those mechanical beings, if you go in, you will be..."

Alarmed, the old man hurriedly covered Chun Li’s mouth and pulled her to the side, frantically gesturing for her to be quiet.

"Silly child, do you want to lose your life? If those mechanical beings hear you, you’re done for, and there will be no one to save you this time!" the old man said in a panic.

Yet Chun Li appeared stunned, incredulously saying, "Medicine Granny, did you already know..."

"Having lived in the Star Spirit World and witnessed the real world, and lived here for so many years, even if somewhat dull, I could guess more or less..." the old man sighed.

"Then why didn’t you tell everyone?" asked Chun Li.

"Silly child, do you think only I know? Actually, quite a few people can guess the truth. Some people have compromised and accepted the mechanical beings’ arrangement, some have become numb, some are still deceiving themselves, trying their best to believe the hibernation rhetoric, in any case, all keeping it inside, not speaking out."

"I don’t understand, why does everyone, knowing the truth, not choose to resist, but willingly go to die?" Chun Li looked bewildered at the old man.

"What’s the use of resistance? All our races together, we are still no match for the mechanical beings. Besides, this is originally the world of mechanical beings, we are just outsiders living under their roof, they have granted us territory to continue our races for so many years, we are already very content..."

"No, this is not right..." Chun Li’s eyes reddened, stubbornly shaking her head, "It shouldn’t be like this..."

"What’s wrong with it, the existence of a race is for the propagation, if we old antiques die, and it allows you new generations to live on, then everything is worth it." the old man said, patting Chun Li on the head with a smile.
