Global Collapse

Chapter 394 I, Gu Bengbeng, have always won people over with virtue.
The fat man saw the gaunt woman come to his door again.

This is the fourth time.

The woman stood at the door and handed over a book: "Hello, I'm here to return a book."

Then it remained motionless.

Strangely enough, ever since the fat man learned that this was a character controlled by Gu Mian, he found this gaunt woman inexplicably kind and approachable.

He was leaning against the door at that moment, and if it weren't for the transparent barrier, the fat man would have almost leaned his whole body against the woman.

"Doctor," he called out, leaning closer, "Doctor, is that you? It's Fatty! We've become a save point, can you hear me? If you can hear me, blink..."

But the thin woman in front of him made no move.

Her sunken eyes appeared exceptionally large, and she didn't blink at all, standing motionless with the book in her hand.

After a while, the fat man, whose voice was already a little hoarse, stopped in disappointment: "So you really can't hear me?"

He muttered to himself as he reached out to take the book from the woman's hand.

But just then, the fat man saw the withered woman withdraw her hand.

“This is most likely Fatty,” Gu Mian canceled the save and looked at the screen, where the save point was completely black. “The one who is obedient to everything is Chu Changge, and the one who would rather die than submit is 007.”

Oh my god.

Gu Mian tilted her head back as she thought about it: "So this really turns into a useless save point for Gu Mian and the other two?"

Save points must never be destroyed, so you can only save a total of fifteen times in the game.

He's already used ten save opportunities in the early stages of the game. What if he uses up all his saves in the early game and his character dies later in the game? Wouldn't he have to travel back several hours to the past?
However, that's not the important thing. The important thing is that every time a save point is destroyed, one player will die.

"This dungeon is too vicious," Gu Mian said, still standing in front of the save point. "It truly lives up to its reputation as a high-difficulty special dungeon. If the player in front of the computer is even slightly careless, the person in the game will die without them even realizing it."

So vicious!

Even Gu Mian couldn't help but marvel at how vicious this instance was.

After all, not all players are interested in analyzing how each save point has a different character; most people just think the game is really laggy when saving.

"At least in the past, the dungeons let the ghosts kill people, but now the players are being made to do it themselves? And they're killing people without them even realizing it... That's too vicious."

As Gu Mian spoke, she took out a lighter.

When the fat man saw the woman in front of him take out a lighter, he immediately took a shaky step back.

Then he saw the woman's lighter turn on and off repeatedly...

She repeated this several times, then turned and walked away, as if she had just been teasing him.

Watching the woman's slowly departing figure, the fat man paused for half a second, then immediately picked up the phone and called Chu Changge: "I have a feeling the doctor knows something."

"Gu Mian seems to know something?" A moment later, 007 also received a call from Fatty.

She held the microphone for a moment, thinking before speaking: "So now that Gu Mian knows we've become save points, she won't destroy us, right?"

“That’s not necessarily true,” the fat man said, looking at the dark street outside. “Our doctor likes to rip people off. If you do something to displease him, he might just grab a lighter and throw it into your room at any time.”

Upon hearing this, 007 silently swallowed: "What do you think of my appearance? Do you find me pleasing to the eye?"

Fatty: "..."

At this moment, Gu Mian began to wander around the dilapidated village again.

As he wandered around, he calculated that if he destroyed a save point, his friend would be finished, which meant there were only fifteen save opportunities in the entire game. Upon closer inspection, the game rules he had seen were incredibly simplistic; there was no mention from the beginning that a save point must be destroyed and cleared after five uses before another save could be made.

Furthermore, the game didn't specify what the mission was; it just let him wander around aimlessly, and he didn't encounter the same monster again.

It was already completely dark. The village was huge, with buildings very dense in some places and quite sparse in others.

At this moment, Gu Mian was wandering on the edge of the village. The buildings in this area were very sparse, and there was a small hill next to it.

Gu Mian had tried to climb up before, but then gave up because she was worried that she might fall and be half-dead.

If you really can't find any clues, then it's not too late to climb this thing.

The village is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is built in a ravine. If there is a heavy rain, it will definitely be flooded.

A huge full moon hung in the darkness, its bright light illuminating the entire valley and improving visibility somewhat.

Just then, he suddenly saw a house with lights on in front of him.

This house is one of the few buildings that did not collapse. It is a two-story wooden cabin with the wooden door tightly closed. A square hole was carved out next to the door to install a window, but the window was also dirty at the moment. Only the light inside could be seen, and the specific scene could not be seen. A net made of thin wire covered the outside of the window, which seemed to be used for theft prevention.

Next to it was a straw shed where I didn't know what kind of animals were kept, and next to the shed was a cart.

Gu Mian took a step forward.

When he passed by here last time, the house was probably not lit up yet.
Thinking of this, he took a few more steps forward, wanting to get closer to the window to listen to what was happening inside.

There was no crouching or crouching action in this game, so Gu Mian could only swagger over.

But just as he swaggered to the window with his game character, the door next to him, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened...

Gu Mian turned her head to look.

A straight-backed man was standing at the door, looking straight ahead. Then, he turned his neck and his face was right in front of Gu Mian's screen.

Gu Mian watched as he stood motionless, only his neck turned ninety degrees to meet her gaze.

It looks a little weird.

For a moment, Gu Mian didn't know whether she should run away immediately or try to communicate.

Just then, he noticed the man's mouth open slightly, and then a sentence with punctuation appeared at the bottom of the screen:

"come in"

This stupid game has no sound, so Gu Mian can only judge what others are saying by reading the text at the bottom.

After saying that, the man turned and went back into the house. The door was not closed, but swayed in the wind, and orange light shone out from the open door.

Gu Mian was left alone in front of the screen, deep in thought.

This person is so creepy, and these words are so creepy.

If you see someone secretly climbing on your window in the middle of the night, your first reaction wouldn't be to let them in, right?
Moreover, this person doesn't look like a real human being.

Gu Mian thought for a few seconds and then made her decision.

He walked towards the door.

He reached out and closed the door.

He pushed the cart to the door and then took out a lighter.
