Chapter 139 Different endings of the game (second update)
"Walking with the Dark" is not a complex plot game, and its game size cannot be compared with those super-large 3A masterpieces.
The reason why we adopt fragmented plots is itself a kind of opportunity.
However, the key to the plot of the game is to match it with the gameplay. From this perspective, fragmented plot is indeed the best plot mode that "Walking with the Dark" can adopt.
The story of the game takes place in a fictional city. More than ten years ago, a plague broke out for unknown reasons, and a large number of zombies appeared, and the entire city quickly lost control.
Fortunately, the outside world cut off the city's traffic in time and blocked it up, so the mysterious zombie plague did not spread further.
Then, the outside world did not directly choose to destroy the city with a nuclear bomb. Instead, for various other reasons, it began to build high walls outside the city, and continuously created clouds, turning the city into a dark cage.
All the survivors in the city were naturally abandoned.
Then, the outside world began to continuously place mechanical hunters into the city, hunting all moving creatures, whether they are survivors or zombies, and after being caught, they will be thrown directly into the garbage mountain at the bottom.
The protagonist played by the player wakes up in the garbage mountain and doesn't remember what he has experienced. In order to survive, he can only keep climbing up.
The sound I heard on the radio was actually a researcher from a laboratory in the city. As the plot progressed, players can contact the researcher through radio to learn about the location of some laboratories in the city and the use of various equipment.
method.
When I rescued Cat, I also received the help of this researcher.
As the plot progresses, the player continues to move upward and towards the area where the researcher is located. In this process, the player learns from the researcher that the zombie plague in the city does not occur naturally, but is the big figures from the outside world.
Viruses developed through a biological company using a special plant spore.
It’s just that the virus leaked unexpectedly, causing things to move in an uncontrollable direction.
This also explains why people outside cannot control the spread of the virus, but can decisively block the city, so that the impact of the virus is limited to the city; why people outside do not choose to destroy the city with nuclear bombs, but spend more
Funds build high walls and place hunters.
Because for the senior executives of the outside world, they already knew about the virus as soon as possible.
If they take measures in advance, they may be able to control the spread of the virus in the city, but such an unexpected behavior will definitely be discovered and arouse suspicion.
Once the "artificial research and development virus" is revealed, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
Therefore, they deliberately chose to break out in the city when the zombie virus broke out, and then pretended to take urgent measures to block the city. On the one hand, they kept themselves from being suspected, and on the other hand, they kept the losses within a "controllable range."
The reason why they did not choose to use nuclear bombs is because they also wanted to recycle data from laboratories in the city, virus prototypes and therapeutic serum.
These laboratories have been continuing to cultivate and research viruses. While those hunters are clearing zombies, their real task is to collect genetic specimens from zombies and submit them to the laboratory for assisting in analysis and research.
However, the outside world's attempts to retrieve the virus prototype, treat serum and study data have also failed.
Because the entire city has been completely occupied by zombies, the number of mechanical hunters is limited, and the vitality of zombies is too tenacious, it is impossible to kill them all.
The mechanical hunter is huge in size and is a machine specially developed for combat. At most, it can extract gene specimens of zombies. However, if you want to enter the deep laboratory, find a specific interface to export experimental data, and remove the refrigerated virus specimens from the cold storage and
Serum is simply impossible.
All of these can only be done by people.
The outside world has sent many operation teams one after another, but these soldiers with live ammunition are soon overwhelmed by the zombies, and no team can succeed.
Therefore, the protagonist played by the player is the only key figure who has the hope of completing this task and obtaining a series of physical evidence such as virus data, virus prototypes, serum, etc.
So far here, players have basically guessed the protagonist's true identity.
In fact, he is just a special mutant zombie.
Unlike other zombies, the protagonist maintains his rationality and emotions as a human, but after losing all his memories, strictly speaking, he is no longer the original human, but a special virus that borrows the original human skin.
That's why the protagonist has strong recovery ability and will not die even if he falls from a high place.
The researcher said excitedly that the protagonist is the most perfect state of this virus, and this is also the ideal of virus research: to realize the evolution of human life forms.
Before meeting the protagonist, the researcher hopes that someone can take this information to the outside world and reveal the truth about the events in the city to the whole world.
But after seeing the protagonist's perfect sample, he changed his mind.
The researcher believes that we can use these materials to threaten those bigwigs who conduct virus research and use the truth and perfect sample experimental data as bargaining chips in exchange for huge wealth that will never be spent in this life.
Of course, the premise of doing this is to return to the laboratory at the junction of the middle and upper layers to obtain virus prototypes, serum and research data.
At this time, the protagonist controlled by the player will face different choices.
The first option is to hand over these things to the researcher.
The researchers would contact the outside world and put forward conditions to the big figures. But soon, the special operations team arrived and shot the researchers on the spot. These special soldiers with live ammunition continued to capture the protagonist.
If the player fails to escape successfully, the "nuclear level ending" will be triggered. On the helicopter back, the protagonist bursts out his power to attack the pilot, causing the crash. All the information, virus prototypes and serums are destroyed, and the protagonist also
Death in the explosion.
Since the city no longer has what those big men from the outside world need, they decided to drop nuclear bombs into the city and let the city disappear completely in the world.
If the player successfully escapes, the "Roamer Ending" will be triggered. The special operations team failed to successfully capture the protagonist, but after obtaining the experimental data, virus prototypes and serum, those big names will not give up the opportunity to capture the protagonist's perfect sample.
, So in the future, the protagonist continues to wander in the city, avoiding the pursuit of zombies, hunters and special operations teams, and keeps wandering like this.
The second option is to not hand over these things to the researcher, but to deal with them on their own.
At this time, the researcher will be incompetent and furious, but the player can ignore it. After a while, you will find that the researcher who has been hiding from XZ before seems to have left the researcher and wants to search for the protagonist, but has not gone far.
He was attacked by a zombie and turned into an unconscious zombie.
Next, the protagonist can use laboratory experimental instruments and various communication equipment.
Three different props correspond to three different endings.
Inject serum into yourself, eliminate the virus in your body and turn it back into humans, and send a help signal to the outside world. You can hide from the survivors and leave the city and return to human society, and not be noticed by those big people. From now on, you can be an ordinary person
People continue to live their lives. This is the ending of "survivor".
Choosing to publish research data and reveal the truth of the entire incident will lead to crazy revenge. Those big men sent a large number of troops in anger. The protagonist died in the process of dealing with them, but it stimulated people's awareness of resistance and made the situation turbulent.
.This is the "Martyr's Ending".
Choosing to inject yourself with a virus prototype can make yourself evolve again and become a super zombie with extremely strong self-healing ability and terrible strength and speed. It can easily kill the special operation team that came to encircle and suppress it, and then, before the nuclear bomb arrives, it will succeed.
The land climbs over the wall, escapes from the city, and enters a normal human society. This is the "evolutionary ending".
Of course, in addition to these main endings, the fate of those NPCs will be different, but these will not be explained in detail in the game, and can only be repaired by the players themselves.
These endings are actually prompted in the previous fragmented plot, and players can roughly infer it.
However, judging from the current progress of players' suffering, it may take a long time to figure out the entire ending.
