I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 279: End of the World

After the contract had been signed, Guan Weizhi was called away by a phone call. Before leaving, he asked Qiao Suisui not to wander off and wait for him here.

Han Chen turned around to leave, but Qiao Suisui grabbed the corner of his suit.

The man paused mid-step and, in a rather pleasant mood, turned back and asked, "What’s the matter? Is there anything else?"

Qiao Suisui said, "Stop the erasure program."

Han Chen’s expression cooled slightly, he lifted his hand, and then walked away without looking back.

An employee quickly approached, his badge showing that he was the manager of the Game Product Department. He said to Qiao Suisui, "Please come with me; this program requires central platform operation."

Qiao Suisui quickened her pace, no longer maintaining the calm composure she had during the negotiations.

"What about the friend who came with me?"

"Miss Ye? She’s already waiting for you in the reception room."

Only then did Qiao Suisui relax, following the employee towards the central platform.

The manager pulled up the real-time visuals of her world. On the huge electronic screen, the current situation was being broadcast live.

In the picture, Ruka was not in the Imperial Court but at the Interstellar Strategy Academy with Harvis and the others. The four lion cubs were all around him, as well as Summer and her brothers. Lilia clung to her father’s sleeve, looking at the disintegrating melting sky and the ground that was about to collapse, crying, "Where’s Mom? Where is she? What if we get separated from Mom?"

Ruka gently stroked Lilia’s head and said, "Don’t worry, Mom will find us."

The scene switched to a warmly decorated home where Carl was sitting on the sofa, drinking alcohol.

His long legs were spread out, and both arms were draped over the back of the sofa.

Because of the constant tremors of the ground, the chandelier on the ceiling ’clang’ fell onto the coffee table, shattering glass all over.

Carl looked up and took another drink, murmuring to himself, "Tsk, this was her favorite crystal lamp."

The shards of broken glass mixed with stains of red wine were scattered across the expensive carpet.

Leberli stared at the wine glass he had failed to hold steady for a while.

At the moment, he stood in Qiao Suisui’s palace, carefully packing the items she liked to use into a box.

Taier and Vanessa rushed over, screaming in panic, "Father, the building is collapsing, get out quickly!"

Leberli did not respond, continuing to secure her favorite perfumes.

"We won’t be able to buy this again, what a pity if it breaks. Suisui will be unhappy when she sees it."

Federation Central Building.

Dr. Zong Yan’s office was filled with people, all frantically searching for remedial measures.

"The crowd has been evacuated to open areas."

"We still can’t detect the cause of this natural disaster."

"How much longer will the aftershocks last?"

Zong Yan, however, just stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching the outside.

Although it was clearly daytime, the sky was as dark as night.

An officer knocked and entered, reporting, "Supreme Leader, Dr. Zong Fang has just taken your grandchildren from your residence."

Zong Yan waved his hand, indicating he knew.

He was already old; living another day felt like a bonus. Every day spent with the children made him feel young again.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, sighing, "Now is the time to check on the children, once on their father..."

Dr. Zong Fang led all the children into an underground wine cellar.

Anubis was reinforcing the cellar door, while Sang Yan, transformed into a dragon, was transporting food and water to the cellar in trips.

Dr. Zong Fang said to Josiah, "Take them in first, then come out and help."

The young man nodded vigorously.

Dr. Zong Fang put all the supplies into a space, then asked Anubis, "Are you sure she can find this place?"

Anubis finished screwing in the last bolt and said, "This is where she hid me when I was being hunted before. She knows the way."

Dr. Zong Fang looked up at the darkening sky, where flocks of crows flew by like a moving black cloud.

Qiao Suisui stared at the scene before her, unable to believe this was the world she had once known.

The sky was so overcast it seemed ready to collapse, with dense clouds forming a heavy black curtain over the earth. On the ground, the trees were withered, their leaves long since devoid of life, turning yellowish-gray and brittle. A gust of wind scattered the leaves like ashes. The buildings in the city also appeared dilapidated, with cracked windows. From time to time, crows flew across the sky, letting out eerie screams as if heralding the approach of the end times.

The entire world seemed to have sunk into an endless silence and despair, time as if it had stopped flowing. In this apocalyptic landscape, the only sounds were the wind and the thunder. The past glory of the Beastmen from interstellar space seemed so insignificant in this desolation, as if everything could vanish in an instant.

"Will everything be restored if we stop the purge now?" she asked, her voice trembling.

The staff shook his head, "How could that be possible, unless we format this world. The purge is our technical term; in reality, it is a simulation of the fourth disaster, meant to properly eliminate the game world. The end comes very naturally, with no traces of human intervention."

"Does that mean if we stop now, although it won’t lead to extinction, the aftermath of the disaster is already here?"

"That’s right. There are 29 minutes and 34 seconds left until complete erasure. Are you sure we should stop?" The staff scratched his head, suggesting, "Why not just start over? With this level of devastation, it’s anyone’s guess how many years just to restore the infrastructure. Even if you enter this world again, it will be during the end times for the Beastmen."

"Stop it, stop it now."

The staff looked at the manager for confirmation and began to operate on the console once given the nod.

Ten minutes passed, but the screen still showed the earth shaking and mountains crumbling.

The operator’s face was increasingly covered in sweat.

"What’s... what’s happening..."

Qiao Suisui asked, urgent, "What’s wrong?"

"We can’t stop it. There seems to be a code error, and it will take about an hour to troubleshoot."

Qiao Suisui’s voice suddenly rose, "We have only 20 minutes left, and you’re telling me you need an hour?"

She was so angry that her body trembled, shouting, "Where is Han Chen? Get Han Chen out here!"

"Miss Qiao, please don’t panic, uh, we will resolve this as quickly as possible..."

The manager had all the technicians halt their current work and assist in troubleshooting the code.

Qiao Suisui’s heart was pounding so loudly she could hear it thumping in her ears as she grabbed the manager, "And my friend? Call Ye Xi! Hurry!"

Ye Xi quickly grasped the situation when spoken to by the manager. As the manager was about to escort her over, she saw Ye Xi sitting in her spot and opening her own computer.

"Ye, you can’t get into the console without the company’s port."

"With your pathetic firewall? Who could it possibly keep out? I’ve been connected to your port for ages."

Manager: ...

Ye Xi’s fingers danced across the keyboard, her glasses reflecting lines of rapidly moving blue code.

Meanwhile, the staff member hurried to Han Chen’s office, breathing heavily, "President Han, that, Qiao, Qiao..."

"What’s happened to her?"

"She logged into the game world using our company’s gaming pod, but that world is set to be purged in ten minutes. She might never be able to get out."
