Chapter 436: Dongming Island's Strange Experience Shocks Guests (2-in-1 Order Request)

Afterwards, under the personal command of Ma Feilei, the construction of Taoyuan Township Dongming Island Tourist Resort began in full swing.

Finally, after several months of construction, the first phase of the project was officially completed.

After the completion of the first phase of the park, Taoyuan Township randomly selected the first batch of tourists to come to the island for a trial run.

……

The sun hung high over the East China Sea, casting a gentle golden glow. Groups of tourists set foot on Dongming Island, anticipating the thrilling journey this so-called "doomsday experience park" would offer them.

At the pier, a group of heavily armed special forces officers in black had been waiting for a long time, submachine guns in hand and tense expressions on their faces. They escorted the tourists into the ticket hall, where no one could have guessed that this was the beginning of their entire journey.

The moment the ticket seller handed over the ticket, the entire place suddenly shook violently. A deafening explosion echoed through the sky, and thick smoke instantly enveloped everyone! The tourists were terrified, their ears filled with the incessant sound of artillery fire and the roar of collapsing buildings, as if they were under a merciless aerial bomb attack. The special forces shouted orders to them to crawl forward quickly. The group moved fearfully through the smoke-filled room, fearing that they would be blown to pieces at any moment.

Just when everyone thought they would be buried in the sea of ​​fire, there was another shock. When the smoke cleared, all that was left was a scene of broken walls and ruins in a mess! The tourists were taken into a simulated "ruins area" with broken walls and rocks all around. The air was filled with pungent smoke and burnt smells, as if overnight, the peaceful era had been dragged into a smoke-filled war era.

"Hurry up, this place is no longer safe!" A special forces member lowered his voice and waved anxiously. The tourists had no choice but to tiptoe along the path, carefully avoiding obstacles on the road. They saw ragged zombie-like figures wandering around, and bursts of groaning could be heard from time to time, which was chilling.

Suddenly, a piece of rubble crashed down from above, striking a tourist and causing her to scream. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a pair of bloodshot eyes staring back at them from a crack in a rubble wall! Hidden in that dark corner was an infected "zombie savage"! Terrified, the tourists ran for their lives, deafening gunfire behind them as several special forces members desperately fired back at the zombie. They made their way to a "field hospital" and barely escaped danger.

The scene inside the tent was horrifying, littered with "wounded" soldiers, some nearly dead and some nearly dead. Several bloody, charred, and mutilated "corpses" lay in the center. Several staff members, disguised as military doctors, frantically bandaged the wounded, but their treatment was powerless. From outside the tent, screams and the sound of gunfire echoed intermittently. This scene of carnage filled all the visitors with trepidation. After forcing their way through this killing field, the tourists once again reached a rugged mountain path, leading them into a lush jungle area.

Though tranquility had returned, a sense of forbidding severity permeated the air. The rustling of leaves was enough to terrify every visitor, as the special forces, fully armed, pulled out rope after rope and peered inside.

The further inland, the more difficult the road became. From time to time, people would slip into traps and be dragged for several meters by ropes. Even more terrifying, a low, chilling roar would occasionally reach from the depths of the jungle. It wasn't until they saw the remains of a large saber-toothed tiger lying across the road that they finally felt reassured.

Just as the group paused for a moment, a special forces member suddenly called out nervously, "Did you hear that sound?" Everyone held their breath and listened. Sure enough, a distant rumble like thunder was approaching! Just as everyone was at their wit's end, the sky blazed with the roar of airplane engines, accompanied by the clatter of explosives. Then, a barrage of aerial missiles slammed into the jungle, sending shockwaves rumbling through the earth and sending leaves flying. The tourists scrambled to the ground, their bodies deafened by the roar of gunfire and the surging clouds of black smoke and flames. The jungle was instantly engulfed in flames, littered with fallen trees and cracked crevices. Survivors were trapped beneath the relentless fire of aircraft.

After a long journey, the tourists finally left the jungle hell and walked onto a cable bridge suspended in the air. Through the slowly dispersing smoke, a faint flicker of fishing fires could be seen in the distance, and everyone thought they were about to be rescued. Suddenly, a violent tremor struck, and the entire bridge began to shake violently! The tourists struggled to maintain their balance, but the bridge twisted and swayed mercilessly beneath their feet. Several people finally lost their balance and fell screaming, but were fortunately caught. Just when everyone thought they would plummet into the abyss, the bridge suddenly rebounded. It turned out that the collapse of a skyscraper in the twilight had caused the tremor.

This night's "doomsday journey" was truly thrilling. As night fell, the crowd finally spotted a distant fishing fire, the main island's dock, signaling the end of their nightmarish experience. As they boarded the return ferry, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, their muscles still trembling. Looking back at the island, silence had returned, yet the faint glimpse of flames and ruins in the darkness evoked a lingering sense of fear. This shocking experience truly exceeded everyone's expectations and remains unforgettable. And in the future, this "doomsday experience park" promises even greater excitement, captivating these curious explorers.

……

After departing the "Doomsday Experience Park" by boat, visitors are greeted by another stunning scenic spot on Dongming Island: the "Dream Beach." Here, the golden sands are spread flat, the waters are crystal blue, and the sunlight splashes across the water, creating a thousand golden dots.

In the distance, several giant statues, seemingly rising from the water, waved at the tourists. Curious, the crowd approached, only to discover that these figures were dressed quite boldly and possessed voluptuous figures. As the tourists stepped onto the beach, the statues suddenly burst into laughter and shouted to the crowd, "Dear friends, welcome to this dreamy beach! Please enjoy the sun and the water! We will present you with a unique beach carnival!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, pulsating music blared from the beach, a rousing rhythm blaring from giant speakers. The giants began dancing gracefully on the sand, swaying their seductive waists. The tourists watched in amazement, but they had no idea what was going to happen next! Suddenly, the giants yanked their "clothes" off their bodies, revealing the human sculptures!
Everyone burst into laughter. The giants' muscles and body proportions were all perfectly defined, lifelike, just like real people. The giants began playing a hilarious game of hide-and-seek on the beach, first rolling their massive bodies on the sand, then burying themselves in the sand, leaving only their legs or heads exposed, much to the amusement of the tourists.

Even more striking, several voluptuous beauties struck captivating poses in the ocean, the gushing water seemingly the folds of their bodies, creating vibrant and vibrant images. Tourists reveled in the water and sand, reveling with these "dream giants" and enjoying a wild and exciting beach night.

……

The next morning, the tourists were taken to Dongming Island's most famous scenic spot, "Taoyuan Village." This recreation of an authentic ancient village, with its narrow alleyways, ponds, bamboo forests, and thatched wineries, all exuded a rustic elegance and tranquility. In the quiet village, visitors visited the ancestral temple, picked fruits and vegetables, strolled the streets, and cruised the lake, fully immersing themselves in the rustic charm of the countryside. But just as everyone was immersed in this peaceful atmosphere, the silence was suddenly shattered by the sound of a cannon! Amidst billowing smoke and shouting, a group of hundreds of scarred "bandit warlords" suddenly emerged from the village entrance, charging directly at the tourists. Spectators shuddered and fled in panic, realizing this was yet another of Dongming Island's major "experiences"—the reappearance of the "bandit uprising"!
The fierce and valiant "warlords" wielded clubs, spears, and homemade rifles, furiously shooting and whipping the unarmed tourists. The tourists fled in panic; some were captured and brutally tortured. Others, fleeing for their lives, were surrounded by another group of "Nianzi" soldiers, wrapped in straw paper. Chaos reigned. They were driven into a village winery. The owner cleverly dodged the fight, only to be met with the wrath of the "warlords." "Give us a drink!" they shouted, then grabbed a jar of boiling wine and poured it over the owner's head. The aroma of wine wafted through the air, and the owner screamed in agony. The tourists were forced to huddle in a corner, trembling, fearing they would be the next to suffer. Even more terrifying, the cries of "rebellion" grew louder outside. Cries of crying and fighting echoed from the houses, and faint curses of "Kill, kill, kill!" could be heard. In the midst of the chaos, a tourist suddenly stood up and loudly resisted. He turned out to be a brave "rebel leader"! So, this place immediately turned into a life-and-death struggle of "rebel uprising", and a bloody fight suddenly ignited in the courtyard of the winery.
After finally escaping the "rebellion" in Taoyuan Village, the tourists continued on to the island's final scenic spot, Dongming Temple. This ancient temple is a popular attraction, surrounded by towering mountains, streams, ponds, and waterfalls, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Visitors devoutly lit incense and candles before the thousand-year-old temple, praying for peace and good fortune. However, just as everyone was about to make their way to the back mountain, a series of muffled noises suddenly erupted, and the entire temple began to shake. Several young monks shouted, "Hurry! The landslide is happening!" It turned out to be another experience created by Dongming Island, a simulated landslide.
Huge rocks suddenly plummeted from the sky, sending clouds of dust soaring and terrifying. Guided by monks, the tourists scrambled for safety along the winding mountain path. The path, strewn with falling rocks and narrow, sometimes seemed almost impassable, but the rolling rocks behind them forced them to bravely press forward. Just when the path was completely blocked, a few alert tourists, driving the temple's merit-giving carts, forged their way through. Amidst roars of laughter, everyone was finally saved.

After overcoming numerous dangers and hardships, they finally reached the top of the mountain. But just when everyone wanted to take a breath and rest, a ground-shaking tremor occurred again. Following several dazzling flames and hot air waves, the tourists were shocked to see that there was a lava vent hidden on the top of the mountain! This was the ultimate project of "volcanic eruption"! People hurriedly ran for their lives, but unfortunately, before leaving, the brave "rebel leader" was engulfed in the lava by the flames.
……

After experiencing the thrilling experience mentioned above, the tourists were finally able to enjoy a moment of tranquility in the hotel on the island. Then they truly enjoyed the natural scenery, and even had the thrilling experience before, which made this enjoyment more precious and happy!

The reason is simple. What remains on the island are the facilities of the original Dongming Island that have not yet been developed.

Unexpectedly, compared with the previous shock, the tourists became more relaxed and enjoyed themselves!

At a hot spring hotel on the island, people indulged in the steaming hot springs, their skin absorbing the rich fragrance of nature, and their fatigue gradually dissipated. A few couples even lazily drank in the pavilion by the pool, fully enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

After a good night's sleep, the tourists rushed to the long-awaited soft beach the next day. The golden sand shimmered in the bright sunshine, and the azure sea stretched out before them. Children laughed and ran around the rocks, unrestrainedly displaying their childish innocence. Young couples embraced and kissed in the cool water, releasing the passion of their love. A group of middle-aged people played ball on the beach, and elderly people who loved fishing sat leisurely on the rocks, fishing, enjoying the gifts of nature. Sun, waves, and beach—the place was filled with a vibrant, simple and carefree atmosphere. The tourists felt like they were in a paradise, completely forgetting the dangerous nightmares that had come before.

After a few days of rest, the group returned to Dongming Island, a scenic rural area reminiscent of a paradise. The view stretched out before them, revealing verdant mountains and clear waters, whitewashed walls and black tiles, and towering ancient trees—a picture of idyllic countryside. Some tourists strolled along the pine and cypress paths, breathing in the earthy, fragrant air, feeling a sense of tranquility. Others wandered through the bamboo forest paths, where the occasional gentle chirping of insects brought a refreshing sense of coolness. Children, meandering freely in the village's lake and pond, catching fish and occasionally bursting into childish cheers. Everyone's face was filled with an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

Our final stop was the majestic, thousand-year-old temple on Dongming Island. The scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, and the occasional chanting of Buddhist scriptures evoked a sense of peace and reverence. Young monks in red robes played frolicking under the hedges in front of the mountain gate, their childlike innocence captivating everyone. Inside, the temple's columns and carved gate railings reflected the masterful craftsmanship of the ancestors.

Under the Buddha's gracious smile, visitors paid homage to the Buddha shrine, the Kitchen God, and the City God, praying for a smooth and prosperous life. Emerging from the incense-filled temple, their gaze passed over the lush bamboo and setting sun, only to see a corner of drifting clouds disappear, a jade-like spring gurgling along the way, and the air filled with the fragrance of grass and wood. It felt as if they were in a rural village in the mountains, a secluded charm captivating the heart.

The island's several small towns, from the seaside to the foothills, each exudes a unique charm. Visitors stroll leisurely through the streets and alleys, occasionally stopping into a local handicraft workshop or a quaint, elegant teahouse to sip the fragrant Longjing tea and listen to the soaring and melodious music of Jiangnan string music. Encountering the warm and hospitable islanders might even invite them into their homes for a sumptuous feast. Children chase and play on the old streets, drawing laughter from the merchants along the way.

……

As the sun sets, three game developers gather for drinks in a small tavern on the island's seaside shore. Wan Xiaotong, sipping a glass of osmanthus wine, savors the experience with a touch of nostalgia: "The Dongming Island experience is truly breathtaking. The thrilling intensity brings back memories of those days and nights developing Nightless."

Hua Wu smiled knowingly. "Yes, Ma Feilei does have an extraordinary talent in this area. Recalling the reappearance of the 'bandit uprising' in Taoyuan Village and the thrilling 'volcanic eruption' ending, the exquisite design and twists and turns of the plot are truly impressive. We can definitely learn from this kind of experiential level design and add some new elements to 'Nightless'."

Mo Xiaoxuan nodded, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I do have an immature idea.

For example, in the Jiangnan water town level, we can create a large-scale "flooding of the Yellow Turbans" scene. Players will initially be in a peaceful and tranquil Jiangnan town, but will soon be hit by a devastating flood. Players have to run around, climb high, and rescue those in need under the scouring of wind and rain. There are turbulent currents everywhere, and the frightened villagers are calling for help from each other, while the gates of their houses are constantly being destroyed before their eyes. In this way, they avoided the oncoming muddy current all the way until they were finally rescued on a large ship and were able to escape the flood.

Hua Wu and Wan Xiaotong held their breath as Mo Xiaoxuan changed the subject, saying, "Amidst these turbulent waves lies a mysterious Yellow Turban Army. They exploit the floods to plunder and loot at will! While escaping the floods, players will encounter frequent attacks and obstacles. Ultimately, after overcoming numerous dangers, players must face a decisive battle against the Yellow Turbans to achieve ultimate victory!"

Wan Xiaotong clapped his hands in amazement, "What a brilliant design! The player is initially trapped in a catastrophic flood, on the brink of life and death, every step of the way terrifying! And yet, behind all this, remnants of the Yellow Turbans are wreaking havoc on the region. These two hidden dangers intertwine – the concept is simply too brilliant!"

Hua Wu shared the same sentiment and shared her concept: "I have an idea too. For example, in the Sichuan-Shaanxi level, we could involve players in a thrilling 'Border Offensive and Defense Battle'! From the very beginning, players will be caught in a barrage of fire, surrounded by flames and smoke, surrounded by continuous fighting and slaughter! Just as the players struggle to escape, news suddenly arrives that a large army is approaching, forcing them to join the fight and fight to the death against the enemy entrenched on the border! In the end, players may even sacrifice their lives in the flames, in that immortal flame of war!"

Mo Xiaoxuan and Wan Xiaotong were deeply impressed by this concept and freely shared their inspirations. Together, the three of them pushed Ma Feilei's "experiential" level design to new heights. From battles on land, sea, and air, to thrilling man-made disasters and natural disasters, to the ultimate showdown with mysterious forces, a myriad of twists and turns, intense and treacherous plot ideas unfolded, creating a series of vivid, engaging, and progressively progressive game levels. After three rounds of drinks, they were already talking and enjoying themselves, with endless anticipation and longing for the upcoming level design for "Never Nights"!
