Xia Lan keep flaming the participant

"Ladies and gentlemen, after seeing this amazing pod, do you still feel hesitate?"

"Nooooooo…." A loud answer can be heard from the participant

"Are you willing to sign a contract with us as the tester?"

"Yeeeesssss…." The same loud and unison voices raised again.

"Good! After explaining the exclusive game gears, now it's time to introduce our game. Don't you feel curious about our game?"

"Yeeessssss ….."

"Our staff will start to distribute the introduction, manual and guidelines of the games. Please read it carefully and if you have a question, you can raise your hand to ask"

"Zombie Hunter introduction"

'In the year 2012, a giant asteroid called Nibiru, suddenly change its trajectory and its new course is heading to earth. This change in its trajectory can be observed by space telescope Hubble, and the news causing mass panic in every country in the earth. Estimated time before the asteroids hit the earth is two years, so many countries make preparations against the asteroids. All disputes and wars among the countries in the earth suddenly ceased, they put aside their grudges, enmity, and conflict aside to face a common danger together. The size of the asteroid itself is quite big, almost as big as an island. If a meteor with several kilometers diameter can bring dinosaurs to its extinction and make the ice age, what happen if an asteroid which bigger than it, hit the earth?

Ecological experts predicted that collision not only can causing earth back to ice age but also can make earth under eternal darkness for the millennium for the dust impact only. Another impact of terraforming, magnetic shift, volcanic instability or even can cause damage to the earth core.

Humanity working side by side to avoid this calamity that can bring the end of human being. They build a giant space station on the moon as the base to intercept the asteroids. All nuclear warhead collected and send to the moon base. They hope, if the nuclear can't destroy the asteroids at least it can changed its course to the earth. Beside building base on moon, they also build many deep underground shelters to give sanctuary for humanity. Selection process started since the shelter build. Well, not all people can be accommodate in the shelter, so selection process is natural. They select the best candidate from society. Those who represent top notch in their field get instantly selected. They put the limit of maximum 50 years old for the candidates. Many suicide cases happen after that, most of them are old ages people who didn't have high achievement in society. People with high academic achievement, people with high physical achievement will automatic enlisted. Rich people can put on enlist, but must pay a very high sum of money for that. Shelter construction needs money and that where the funds come from. Cryogenic technology that been slow in progress, suddenly become one of top subject of research. Humanity tries to preserve their existence through cryogenic means as their last resort.

Several attempts have been done to intercept the asteroids before entering critical distances but all end in failures. Spaces debris that carried by the asteroids prevents the spaceship to get closer or even landed in the asteroids. Some nuclear missiles that launched from the spaceship also did not give significant effect. It almost like mosquitos bites for the asteroids. When the asteroids almost entering critical distances, humanity launch concentrate attack on one side of asteroids, which succeed to change the trajectory course of the asteroids. The asteroids pass the earth just several hundred thousand kilometers from earth.

Did the earth save? The answer is no. The new trajectory from the asteroids now heading toward mercury. With additional gravity traction from the sun, its speed getting faster when it collides with mercury, destroy that tiny planet into rock fragments and cosmic dust. The cosmic dust and debris from collision creating a layer of dust barrier that blocking sun rays. The earth which in line with mercury at the moment of collision, impacted by the appearance of cosmic dust barrier. The sun rays that originally have golden yellow color become red blood color. These changes create mutation on the whole living being in the earth.'
