Shen Ying was so shocked that her eyes widened instantly, filled with fear and disbelief.

Before she could recover from the shock, a strange burning sensation came from her chest, as if a fiery energy was quietly surging beneath her skin.

She frantically pulled open her collar to check, and saw a strange and mysterious totem that had appeared below her collarbone, near her heart.

The totem had a cold, eerie color, with winding, meandering patterns that seemed to contain some ancient and profound power, or a mysterious mark from an unknown realm, standing out strikingly against her fair skin.

Her face was filled with fear and confusion, and the panic in her heart was as overwhelming as a surging tide. She hurriedly asked in a loud voice:

"What system? What player? What game? And what's the starting equipment? And what's with the totem that suddenly appeared on me?"

However, the only response she received was her own voice echoing in the empty space, the sound reverberating in the silence and highlighting her isolation and helplessness.

Just as she was filled with fear, with a "whoosh," a futuristic-looking light screen suddenly unfolded in front of Shen Ying.

The light emitted by the screen was extremely dazzling, like a brilliant star that suddenly burst forth before her eyes, instantly filling her vision and directly hitting her face.

This sudden situation startled her so much that her heart skipped a beat, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

I stumbled, my body instinctively trying to escape the unknown light, like a frightened fawn facing a sudden burst of bright light.

She stumbled backward several steps in a flustered and hurried manner, waving her hands helplessly in the air trying to maintain her balance, looking extremely panicked and embarrassed.

She almost fell to the ground due to loss of balance, but fortunately she managed to regain her footing at the last moment.

After regaining her balance, Shen Ying cautiously looked at the light screen, which displayed:

[Player Shen Ying's initial equipment: Heart Protection Talisman (Totem)]

[Equipment Description: The Heart Protection Amulet can withstand one fatal blow in each game, providing 100% defense and has a chance to trigger a mysterious function.]

[Note: Player's initial equipment will not drop.]

Her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes filled with confusion and unease, and she kept muttering, "What's going on? This must be a dream, it must be..."

But everything before her eyes was so real. The cold touch of the screen, the unfamiliar atmosphere, and the still faintly burning totem on her chest all ruthlessly declared that this was not a dream, but a cruel reality she had to face, one that she could not escape.

Inside the white space, Shen Ying was still immersed in the shock and confusion of this sudden situation, her mind a jumble of thoughts that she could not sort out.

The next second, an invisible force pushed her out.

She felt the light and shadows shifting before her eyes, as if she were in a bizarre time tunnel. After a strong feeling of weightlessness, she found herself in a place that resembled a student dormitory.

The unfamiliar surroundings left her feeling somewhat lost. She stood there, her eyes filled with confusion.

The desk was neatly arranged with various books, including textbooks, literary classics, and several notebooks, the handwriting on which was neat and carried a hint of youthful exuberance.

A few pens were stuck in a pen holder, and a small stapler and a few paperclips were placed next to it.

In this orderly scene, there is a warm and ordinary atmosphere of life, as if you can see the owner studying hard here and occasionally idly playing with stationery.

Her gaze slowly swept over every corner, trying to find some familiarity or useful clues in these details, but everything was so unfamiliar.

The bed was made neatly, the blankets were folded squarely, and there was a cute doll on the bedside table, grinning. But at this moment, the smile was a bit glaring to Shen Ying.

The curtains by the window were half-drawn, and the sunlight filtering in cast bright shadows on the floor.

A few frequently worn clothes hang on a clothes rack in the corner; their styles are ordinary, yet they exude a sense of everyday life.

Just as she was filled with doubt, a screen emitting a faint blue light suddenly appeared in front of her.

The words on the screen appeared like lively sprites, line by line, as if reading her a verdict of fate.

[Game Title: Virus Invasion]

[Game Identity: Senior University Student]

[Game Introduction: On the night of October 18, 2034, a malignant infectious disease broke out globally without warning.]

The virus, like a demon's curse, spread across the world at an unimaginable speed.

Those who are corrupted by it will undergo terrifying mutations in their bodies within a very short period of time.

The muscles wither rapidly like dead vines, and the skin begins to rot like rotten paper. Within just a few hours, it will completely degenerate into a rotting zombie.

These zombies have lost their reason and humanity, possessing only an instinctive desire for the living and aggression. Wherever they go, they bring death and panic.

The female protagonist, Ming Xiaoxiao, who works at the Beijing Pathogen Research Center, is a focused and dedicated researcher.

On the night of the outbreak, she was working overtime late at night when she was unfortunately bitten by a colleague who had mutated.

In the moment she lost her mind after the mutation, she bit another colleague.

She then fell into a deep sleep, and surprisingly, she woke up completely normal.

After being rescued by the army sent by the country, filled with self-blame and guilt for her bitten colleague, as well as a sense of mission as a human being, she resolutely devoted herself to the arduous work of developing a virus vaccine.

In countless experiments and explorations, Ming Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled the colleague she had bitten, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in her mind. She suspected that her recovery was closely related to that person.

Therefore, the direction of the experiment was changed, and it was ultimately determined that the key to developing the vaccine lay with that colleague.

Ming Xiaoxiao assembled a team of like-minded people and embarked on a search in this zombie-infested, devastated world. Despite the slim chances of success, they never gave up.

However, fate played a cruel trick on them. After years of searching, when they finally found their target, the person had turned into a zombie king who wanted to destroy humanity.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Ming Xiaoxiao's team, though filled with despair, refused to give up. After overcoming countless hardships, they finally defeated the Zombie King. Through studying its body, they developed a vaccine, enabling humanity to overcome the virus and restoring life to the world. They became heroes celebrated by the world.

[Game Duration: 30 days]

[Game Mission: Survive for thirty days and find the still-developing Zombie King before the game ends, then hand him over to the protagonist. Failure to complete the mission will result in the player's elimination.]

After reading the long game introduction, Shen Ying felt a mix of emotions, with confusion and resentment surging like a tide.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and though there was a hint of apprehension about the unknown danger in her eyes, there was more of a sense of unwillingness to accept the predicament and a desire to challenge it.

"Why me? What's going on?" she murmured softly, as if questioning this invisible fate. Though her voice was soft, it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet dormitory.

In this unfamiliar dormitory, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

She began to carefully look around, first walking to the desk and gently flipping through the books on it, hoping to find some clues about the world or the game. However, most of the books were ordinary textbooks and nothing special.

Shen Ying pondered how to find a way to survive in this zombie-infested horror game world, and how to complete the arduous task within the thirty-day time limit.

She told herself to stay calm. Since fate had thrown her into this absurd game, she should do everything in her power to control the course of her destiny for the next thirty days.

She quickly sorted through the known information in her mind and considered survival strategies.
