Global Collapse

Chapter 107 The Continuous Snowstorm [Fifth Update, Seeking First Subscription]

It was already pitch black outside.

Because the sky was still covered with dark clouds, the stars and the moon were not visible at all.

Zhao Lei stood at the door and glanced out the window: "Ah... this kind of weather seems to have been going on for a long time..."

Chu Changge's glasses flashed, and he asked in a calm tone, "How long has it been?"

Zhao Lei's face was pale, as if he hadn't seen the sun in a long time: "It seems like it's been like this ever since I came up the mountain. These past few days have felt exceptionally long."

He seemed a little tired; after speaking, he staggered downstairs without looking at anyone else.

The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mobile Guy spoke first: "Speaking of which, I'm increasingly feeling that Zhao Lei is acting strangely. What are you guys planning to do tonight?"

It is well known that the middle of the night is a time when paranormal events frequently occur, especially in paranormal novels.

This is the most dangerous period for all those who haven't died.

The fat man craned his neck to look at the mobile guy: "You're not afraid to live alone, are you?"

Mobile Guy glanced at him sideways: "Isn't that obvious... Of course I wouldn't dare live alone in such a weird place. I don't care about suspicion anymore, my life is more important."

They admitted defeat pretty quickly.

But after asking around, the mobile operator found that no one was willing to live with him.

Needless to say, no couple would willingly share a room with a grown man.

Gu Mian was even more afraid of other players stabbing him to death while he was sleeping, compared to ghosts.

Chu Changge and the fat man did not express their opinions.

Although they didn't say anything, Mobile Bro understood what they meant, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "You guys are really not afraid at all."

Bright shrugged: "Actually, there's nothing to be afraid of. If you're afraid, then don't come to matchmaking dungeons."

Mobile Guy looked utterly helpless: "I heard you say you cleared two dungeons, but I bet you just coasted through them, didn't you?"

The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit off.

Seeing this, the fat man quickly stepped between the two: "Hey you two, stop staring at each other. Instead of wasting your time, why don't you look for more clues?"

Gu Mian really didn't expect that the players could fight each other in the dungeon. She hoped that the two of them wouldn't start killing each other before the ghost even appeared.

Fortunately, both of them were able to control their emotions in time. The mobile guy glanced at them, then took the piece of paper with the character "王" (king) written on it and went downstairs.

Chu Changge paused for a moment, then followed him down.

Both of them lived on the first floor, the same floor as Zhao Lei, this dangerous person.

The remaining two people, Fatty Gu Mian and a couple, were staring at each other on the second floor. Mingliang silently glanced at Gu Mian a few times, then pulled his girlfriend back to their room.

The fat man watched the two figures disappear and said, "Speaking of which, Doctor, you're definitely not planning to sleep tonight, right?"

"Of course not," Gu Mian nodded. "Let's look for clues first." Gu Mian planned to start by searching his own house, but there was nothing unusual about his house; everything was perfectly normal.

There was a life-sized mirror next to the bed. Zhao Lei had said that his mother was very beautiful, so he guessed that his mother got the mirror.

There was a desk next to the door, but for some reason there wasn't a single book on it. In the drawer lay a very old cell phone, which Gu Mian tried to open, but it was no use.

The fat man glanced at the phone in Gu Mian's hand: "Hey, this is just like that old crappy computer in my room. I reckon we'll need to enter the right password or meet some condition to open it. I bet once this thing is unlocked, it'll give us some really important clues."

The fat man paused for a moment at this point: "The mission is to escape from here, and they might provide a way to escape?"

In short, going in and out through the main gate doesn't count as escaping; the fat man has tested this countless times.

Gu Mian pondered: "The password or conditions for unlocking the phone..."

He glanced around again; there were really no other valuable clues in this dilapidated house.

Unless they take the bed apart and search carefully, piece by piece, they might find a string of magical numbers.
Of course, Gu Mian felt that the probability of finding the password was very small.

“Let’s not do something as unrealistic as dismantling the bed,” Gu Mian said, turning her gaze to the doorway. “Let’s go check out the study first. I remember Zhao Lei mentioned that there’s a room on this floor that’s been converted into a study, right?”

The fat man nodded: "Yes, I remember too. It was the room right next to that couple's room."

After they finished speaking, the two walked towards the door.

It was already late at night, and there was no sound outside. The lights in the corridor were still on—Gu Mian was actually quite curious about how this kind of building, which was isolated in the mountains, was powered by electricity.

But now is not the time to research that.

As the two stepped out of the room, they suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from one direction.

Gu Mian's house was very remote, almost in a corner. Once you went out, you could only walk in one direction, which was the direction of the fat man's house.

The sound seemed to be coming from the fat man's house.

The fat man's scalp tingled, and he immediately took two steps back and shrank behind Gu Mian: "Doctor, there seems to be something ahead."

"Look at your pathetic self." Gu Mian lifted her foot and walked forward.

It turned out that the sound was indeed coming from the fat man's room. When the two of them got to the door, they found that the door was ajar and was shaking slightly.

The bedroom doors in this building cannot be locked from the outside; they can only be locked from the inside. If no one is inside and the door is locked from the inside, anyone outside can enter freely.

The fat man peeked into his ajar door and said, "I remember closing it really tightly when I left."

Gu Mian took two steps forward: "Then something must have gotten in from the outside..."

The fat man nodded slightly, but before he could finish, Gu Mian suddenly blurted out, "Or maybe it was hiding in your room all along, and it came out after you left."

The first subscription hasn't come out yet, but I've already stockpiled a bunch of bonus chapters for donations. I'm going to be working like crazy!
Hehehe, everyone's been so kind to me. These chapter recommendations and book lists were all requested by fellow readers. I suddenly feel so useless... (* /ω＼*)
