The apocalypse is coming, but luckily I have a harem of paper dolls. (Author: Pink Manly Guy)
"If the apocalypse comes and your wallpaper character appears beside you to protect you, how long can you last?" When Luo Jiajun, whose computer wallpaper was a picture of dozens of female game characters in bikinis, saw this post on Tieba, his expression gradually became comical.
Soon after, a post-apocalyptic game that suddenly appeared in Luo Jiajun's mind gave him the right to answer this question based on his personal experience.

If the apocalypse comes and your wallpaper character appears to protect you, how long can you last?
Early in the morning, Luo Jiajun, who had been playing games all night, leaned back in his cheap gaming chair, wearily scrolling through his phone and browsing online forums. His eyes were drawn to a post that was pushed to the homepage.
The computer monitor in front of Luo Jiajun was lit up, and the desktop wallpaper was a group portrait. The picture was densely packed with female characters from various online games, single-player games, or even eroge games. They were all unique, like a hundred flowers blooming. What they had in common was that almost all of them were beautiful, hot, big, and fair-skinned.
Luo Jiajun, who was originally planning to scroll through his phone for a bit before turning off his computer and going to sleep, couldn't help but smile and take a picture of his computer desktop wallpaper with his phone, then replied to the post.
There are no words.
Luo Jiajun's reply was extremely simple, consisting of only one picture: a red-faced, comical emoji.
Hehe~!
Next, Luo Jiajun was about to browse through other people's replies in the post.
But no matter how he swiped his finger across the phone screen, the phone didn't respond at all, and even when he pressed the screen-off button, the screen remained lit.
"wtf?"
Thinking his phone had frozen, Luo Jiajun frowned, intending to wait a few seconds before using it again. Unexpectedly, the screen flashed again, and he entered the app installation interface. An app with a skull icon, named "Super Dimensional Apocalypse Game," suddenly and automatically installed on Luo Jiajun's phone!
"No, buddy?"
Luo Jiajun had no recollection of downloading the app's installation package, and his phone's status bar didn't show anything downloading in the background!
Could it be a virus infection?
Surprised and confused, Luo Jiajun touched the bottom left corner of the phone screen, wanting to access the interface to view all open applications and close them all with one click, thus interrupting the installation of this so-called "Super Dimensional Apocalypse Game".
But no matter how Luo Jiajun touched the screen, just like before, the phone remained unresponsive.
Just as Luo Jiajun was about to press and hold the screen-off button to try to force a shutdown, the screen flashed and displayed that the game "[Super Dimensional Apocalypse Game]" had been installed.
Luo Jiajun: "..."
Yeah, it's okay. Even if it's a virus, as long as I don't open this app, there might still be hope!
However, Luo Jiajun had only just had this thought in mind
"Om~!"
Then, the phone he was holding in his palm vibrated and suddenly disintegrated into individual points of light!
Luo Jiajun: !!!
The next second, these light spots automatically surged towards Luo Jiajun's forehead and disappeared into his head.
Before Luo Jiajun's eyes, a light screen appeared, like a virtual projection, visible only to him.
Please choose one of the following four initial apocalyptic versions.
1. The Walking Dead
2. [Meteorological Disasters]
3. [Plant Deformity]
4. [The Omnic Crisis]
In this blood-red background image that inexplicably evokes a sense of oppression, four options are presented to Luo Jiajun. Each option has a title with a small box under it, and different images are projected within the box.
Such as:
The Walking Dead shows hordes of zombies wandering through streets filled with abandoned vehicles, including many mutated zombies of various shapes.
【Weather Disasters】presents images of a global ice age accompanied by natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis;
【Plant Distortion】presents images of various high-rise buildings in the city being entwined and draped by giant vines that seem to be alive and moving slightly.
【Omnic Crisis】presents a group of robots with steel bodies and blood-red eyes, wielding plasma rifles and fighting off human guns and cannons on the battlefield, mercilessly slaughtering human soldiers.
Staring at the screen in front of him, Luo Jiajun sat blankly in his chair, rubbed his eyes, and then looked again. He realized that this was not a hallucination—there really was such a virtual screen in front of him!
Combining the fact that his phone had automatically installed a game and then, quite illogically, suddenly scattered into countless points of light that entered his brain, Luo Jiajun instantly thought of the plots in various online novels he had read.
Could it be that the game that was just installed on his phone has now taken root in his mind?
With this in mind, Luo Jiajun began to pay close attention to everything displayed on the screen in front of him. As instructed, he now needed to select the "Initial Doomsday Version" of this "Hyperdimensional Doomsday Game".
But Luo Jiajun didn't want to choose any of them.
According to the typical plot of online novels that Luo Jiajun had read, since this game had already taken root in his mind, it meant that it was very likely not just a game, and it might even become reality. If that were the case, Luo Jiajun's choice of the apocalyptic version would be tantamount to opening Pandora's box with his own hands.
This is absolutely not allowed!
However, just as Luo Jiajun decided to ignore the three options on the screen, a small prompt box popped up on the screen:
Please select your initial apocalypse version as soon as possible. If you have not made a decision after 2 minutes and 59 seconds, you will be randomly selected from the four currently available apocalypse versions as your initial apocalypse version.
Luo Jiajun: !!!
Goodness, so even if I don't open Pandora's box, it will still open on its own in the end?
There was no other way, so Luo Jiajun had to make a decision quickly. After all, it was better for him to choose the version himself than to choose it randomly!
"These initial apocalyptic versions, like The Walking Dead, are essentially zombie apocalypses. If it were just ordinary zombies, it wouldn't be so bad, but the problem is that there are also a large number of mutated zombies, which makes it difficult to deal with!"
"【Natural disasters】are even more serious, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and global ice ages. These are all forces of nature, and it is difficult for any individual or even the entire human population to resist them. Therefore, this version can be directly rejected."
"【Minecraft Crisis】, are they trying to remake 'Terminator' here? With thousands upon thousands of 'T-800s,' what's the point of fighting? Pass!"
"Then what's left is [plant mutation]..."
Because he was worried that the game might become a reality, just like the tropes in those online novels he had read, Luo Jiajun chose the apocalyptic version with the lowest possible difficulty.
Since Luo Jiajun only had less than three minutes to consider, he quickly changed his mind and finally decided to choose the [Plant Mutation] version.
[Initial version selected—Plant deformity.]
[Loading, please wait.]
[...Initial version loaded!]
[Dear player, welcome to the super-dimensional apocalypse game!]
After a series of text messages, the image on the screen in front of Luo Jiajun changed.
Suddenly, the background in the scene changed, revealing a city overrun by giant vines, towering trees, and bizarre flowers, among other grotesque plants.
However, before Luo Jiajun could examine the scene on the screen closely, Mei You Ni Mei Mei Mei Mei Mei Mei Mei Xiang Ni Xiang...
"boom--!"
A thunderous roar suddenly came from outside!
Luo Jiajun subconsciously got up and looked out the window. The semi-transparent light screen that had been in front of him disappeared automatically as his attention shifted.
Then, looking out the window at Luo Jiajun, her pupils dilated suddenly in astonishment.
Because he saw the ground below cracking rapidly! Those cracks were terrifying, stretching for tens or even hundreds of meters! From those cracks, countless vines were breaking through the soil, climbing and intertwining on the buildings. These vines were as thick as train carriages, their surfaces covered with dark green, wart-like protrusions, squeezing out a foul-smelling slime with every wriggle.
Meanwhile, the sycamore trees on the street were expanding at a visible speed, their canopies piercing the clouds and covering office buildings that were dozens of stories high. Their roots overturned the asphalt road surface without any resistance, and flung a car parked on the side of the road into the air like a toy.
"This is impossible..." Luo Jiajun's throat tightened as he realized that the image on the semi-transparent screen, which only he could see, was wildly overlapping with reality!
In places unseen by Luo Jiajun: the Tokyo Tower in Japan is being swallowed by giant pitcher plants; the Statue of Liberty in the United States is being entangled in vines like a cocoon; and on the Mongolian steppe, large amounts of grass are breaking free from the soil and frantically rushing to the same place to gather into a towering green giant...
The game has become a reality: the apocalypse of plant mutation has truly arrived!
"Ah! Help!"
Just as Luo Jiajun was stunned, a scream rang out downstairs. Luo Jiajun looked down and saw a woman who was jogging in the morning being dragged into a crevice by thorns that had sprouted from the ground.
Even the shrubs in the green belt downstairs were multiplying wildly, and some rose petals mutated and split open, revealing mouthparts like those of a giant worm, which bit the tires of passing vehicles.
The originally gray sky outside the window was shrouded in dark green mist. Sunlight shone through the mist, casting poisonous spots of light that shone on the writhing plants, as if coating them with an eerie fluorescence.
The building where Luo Jiajun is located seems to be safe for the time being. Or perhaps the building has been entangled by giant vines, but the vines have not yet climbed up to Luo Jiajun's floor and destroyed his room.
In short, a tremendous sense of crisis was looming over Luo Jiajun.
At the critical moment, Luo Jiajun calmed down and realized after a little thought that since the apocalyptic game rooted in his mind could synchronize with reality, his survival in this apocalypse obviously depended on this game!
Luo Jiajun then simply had a thought, and the semi-transparent light screen that only he could see immediately reappeared before his eyes.
The screen now displays the game's main interface, set against the backdrop of a desolate city overrun by various mutated plants. The scene includes:
In the bottom left corner is a lifelike 3D portrait of Luo Jiajun, with a "Character Information" option next to it.
The top left corner shows the date: April 18, 2025.
There is an information box in the upper right corner, indicating that there are 89 days, 23 hours and 58 minutes left until the next apocalypse update... which is three months.
Finally, in the bottom right corner of the game interface, there are four options: [Summon], [Team], [Map], and [Encyclopedia].
As a hardcore gamer, Luo Jiajun immediately recognized that "Summoning" likely refers to recruiting heroes into one's "team" so that one can receive protection!
So Luo Jiajun used his mind as a tendril to quickly enter the summoning interface.
A flash of light appeared on the screen, and I entered the summoning interface. The background of the interface changed, transforming from the city overrun by various mutated plants into a group portrait. The image was filled with countless female characters, some from online games, some from single-player games, and even some from adult games...
Good heavens, isn't that Luo Jiajun's computer wallpaper? The picture he just posted in a reply on the forum!
This reminded Luo Jiajun of the title of the post he had just heard: "If the apocalypse comes and your wallpaper character appears beside you to protect you, how long can you hold out?"
"Could it be that……?"
Luo Jiajun's eyes lit up, and his mood changed from panic to excitement and anticipation.
Because his wallpaper is full of female game characters, and the key is that every single one of them is incredibly strong!
Nun of Thorn, Under the Witch, ActN, Heroine, Overwatch, Dead or Alive series, Fighting! series, Street Fighter series, Punishment Moon series, and the most exciting fantasy series... I ask you, which of these games has been made into a wallpaper featuring beautiful female characters? Not one of them is weak!
However, this "gacha"-like process naturally consumes resources. Luo Jiajun quickly noticed a five-pointed star icon in the upper right corner of the summoning interface, and behind this star icon was a prominent number—0!
Fortunately, there was another flashing gift box icon next to the "0"!
Luo Jiajun opened the gift box, and a message box popped up in the summoning interface.
Congratulations! You've received your new player bonus: 1000 Summoning Points!
Okay! Luckily, this game has a newbie gift pack!
Immediately afterward, Luo Jiajun closed the information box and looked at the two summoning options in the lower right corner of the summoning interface: [Random Summon] and [Targeted Summon].
Next to each option is a small question mark icon; clicking the question mark icon will show the relevant explanation.
[Random Summon]: Summon characters completely randomly, which helps unlock more bonds. Obtain abilities related to newly unlocked bonds through the "Encyclopedia".
【Targeted Summoning】: Select a summoned character to summon a character with the same bond as the selected character. This helps to quickly accumulate bonded characters and allows the summoned character to gain bond bonuses.
[Bonds]: All summoned characters possess bonds. When a certain number of characters share the same bond, a bond bonus is activated. Each time a new bond is unlocked, you can obtain a random ability related to that bond in the "Character Encyclopedia".
"Synergy? I understand that. It's just like auto chess, Teamfight Tactics, the Golden Spatula and stuff! I've played these kinds of games before!" Luo Jiajun immediately understood the synergy game mechanic.
