The story plot officially begins now.
Moonlight Shines on Snow observed the outside through the porthole. Heavy rain was approaching, the clouds hung low, and the roar of the propellers startled a flock of crows in the forest. She was now Rebecca, the medic of the Bravo team, riding in a UH-1 helicopter with other team members on a mission to investigate several bizarre dismemberment cases in the suburbs of Raccoon City. They were about to arrive at the target mountainous area.
It's too real! It's too imaginative! Moonlight Shines on Snow screamed wildly in her heart. These strangers were all very unfamiliar, but the moment she saw them, it felt like touching an item in the Secret Realm Lobby—various pieces of information automatically appeared in her mind.
**[Enrico Marini]**, Captain/Deputy Commander, Profile: 20 years of police experience, known for his sense of justice and keen insight, the core decision-maker within the team…
**[Richard Aiken]**, Technical Support/Communications Expert, Profile…
**[Kenneth J. Sullivan]**, Scout…
**[Edward Dewey]**, Tactical Assault…
**[Forest Speyer]**, Sniper…
"Amazing!" Each had a name and a surname. If she carefully searched the information in her mind, she would find that everyone, including Rebecca, had very detailed background information and growth histories. All the details were impeccable. The authenticity was convincing.
Moonlight Shines on Snow felt like she had traveled through time! She had integrated into this world as Rebecca! Unable to contain her excitement, she wanted to talk to someone when suddenly a violent jolt hit. There was a fierce explosion outside, the engine made a metallic grinding sound, and the dashboard in the cockpit flashed red lights frequently.
"Engine failure! Engine failure!" The control stick in the pilot's hand was out of control. "Prepare for an emergency landing!"
Not good! Moonlight Shines on Snow saw black smoke billowing from the right engine. The helicopter tilted at a 45-degree angle, spinning out of control and crashing into the tree canopy. The fuselage scraped against pine branches, and the main rotor swept off tree trunks, causing a second explosion. Amidst the sound of tearing metal and the shouts of her teammates, she was thrown off by the air blast and fell directly into the muddy bushes.
In the Secret Realm Lobby, all the Adventurers watching the live broadcast were now wide-eyed and filled with surprise, feeling as if they were watching a thrilling movie! Of course, there was no concept of movies in this world. Precisely because of this, it felt even fresher and more interesting.
"Holy cow!"
"It just started two minutes ago."
"And it's already this exciting?"
"The plot mode is indeed extraordinary!"
"Interesting, with so many characters, can you interact with them all? The experience is completely different from the level mode!"
Just then, the captain found Rebecca with the other team members. "Are you okay?"
"Oh my god, I'm actually not dead! This is too much fun…" Although Moonlight Shines on Snow had been thrown out of the cabin, she was luckily not seriously injured, only suffering a slight scrape.
**[Plot Synchronization -1%]**
**[Plot Synchronization -2%]**
Moonlight Shines on Snow's expression changed. When she saw the strange expressions of her teammates, she realized she had done something illogical and out of character. "I'm fine!" she quickly corrected herself, giving a thumbs-up.
The captain nodded and ordered, "Search the area, look for clues. There must be something wrong around here."
"Yes!" Moonlight Shines on Snow breathed a sigh of relief. The other Adventurers all laughed.
"Hahaha!"
"True nature exposed!"
"Almost gave it away!"
Time Traveler remarked, "Fortunately, it didn't cause a plot breakdown; otherwise, this challenge would have ended directly."
White Crane Hermit added, "It seems that the difficulty of the plot mode gameplay is not only in combat; Adventurers must also constantly play their roles well. This is indeed a very interesting idea."
"More than that… this is simply a genius production!" Time Traveler, who was a fan of the plot, had his eyes shining at this moment. "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that a Secret Realm Lobby could achieve this level."
Nanshan Guest commented, "Lord Jack's actions allow Adventurers to completely integrate into the Secret Realm Lobby world!"
Pig King added, "What I'm more curious about now is where Lord Jack got so many character materials. The rarity and difficulty of obtaining such materials are much higher than those of various monsters."
"Don't ask!"
"Just ask if he's a genius!"
"This is Miracle City; nothing is impossible!"
While searching, Moonlight Shines on Snow noticed a faint light in her field of vision. Although not abrupt, it was still quite noticeable. Others seemed unable to see it.
Time Traveler suggested, "This could be a clue left by the Lord."
That was indeed the case. To prevent Adventurers from getting stuck and affecting the experience, wasting time, Jack would leave some weak guides that didn't affect immersion when creating plot-based Secret Realm Lobby content.
Moonlight Shines on Snow followed the guide and immediately found an overturned transport vehicle. Five or six corpses with horrific deaths lay scattered nearby, and numerous messy documents were scattered around. One page was marked with a faint light.
She picked it up and looked. This was a "Prisoner Transfer Order." It contained information and a photo of the death row inmate "Billy Coen." This vehicle and the dead military police were carrying out the task of escorting the death row inmate.
Edward, the tactical assault, who was naturally upright and hated evil, immediately said angrily, "These poor people were just doing their duty, and this scumbag killed them and escaped!"
From the scene, that seemed to be the case. Moonlight Shines on Snow, however, felt that things were not that simple. This was the world where the End of the World Tide was located. Although the disaster didn't seem to have fully erupted yet, there were already abnormal biological activities. However, before she could express her opinion, Captain Enrico immediately gave the order.
"Alright, everyone, we've found the suspect. Search the surroundings immediately… This person is brutal, so be sure to stay vigilant. If there is a threat, shoot to kill directly!"
Moonlight Shines on Snow obeyed the order and continued her investigation. She quickly found a luxurious train guided by the faint light. This was the train that was attacked by Leeches in the initial "cutscene CG." When Moonlight Shines on Snow investigated out of curiosity, she found that everyone on the train had died and turned into Zombies.
However, it wasn't a big problem. The Zombies here moved relatively slowly and were less aggressive, not as frantic as the Zombies in the End of the World Tide. Moonlight Shines on Snow cleared the Zombies, picked up various supplies and clues, and from various scattered documents and diaries left by passengers, a force called the "Umbrella Corporation" gradually surfaced.
This organization had secret research facilities all over the world. They were researching a mysterious virus code-named T.
"T-Virus?" Cat Meow Meow exclaimed, "Could this be the source of the plague?"
Time Traveler replied, "I think it's highly possible, but from the current information, the experiment with this thing is still ongoing, and its research may not have been completely successful yet."
"This is definitely an important clue!" Everyone felt as if they had lifted a corner of the End of the World Tide world. This feeling of peeling back the layers to understand the world made them very interested.
The bystanders were like this. Let alone the participants? In terms of combat rhythm and the thrill of killing, the plot story was definitely not as good as the level mode. But the sense of immersion it produced was ten times stronger than the level mode!
Moonlight Shines on Snow was not fully in character at first, occasionally showing some Adventurer-like behaviors. After acting for dozens of minutes, she was completely embodying Rebecca's personality and instincts. Gradually, she began to lose herself and became completely integrated into the character and story. This feeling had never happened before!
Moonlight Shines on Snow felt like she was experiencing real life. Good! Done too well. It was unheard of! This world was not without Underground Cities that focused on story-based Secret Realm content, nor was it without masters of storytelling.
But no Lord had ever been able to achieve this level. If other story-focused Lords were telling stories, then Lord Jack was creating worlds. The gap was that big. Even bigger! After all, Lord Jack was still very young. The End of the World Tide plot mode was also just the first work. No one knew what kind of world-shattering masterpiece he would produce in the future.
Forgotten River Wanderer murmured, "This form and gameplay of Secret Realm Lobby is extremely rare, with infinite potential… it's a true work of art!" He realized at this moment the potential of this Underground City might far exceed imagination. Miracle City might create a completely new mode of Adventurer adventure.
Even the knowledgeable White Crane Hermit could only sigh in admiration at this moment. Although he already had a high evaluation of Miracle City, judging from the End of the World Tide plot gameplay, he had greatly underestimated this Underground City!
