Global Collapse

Chapter 732 The powerful Gu Bengbeng knocks down three Candy Crush programmers with one punch.

"We've searched the seventh and eighth floors but still can't find that face." At this moment, the fat man was panting as he climbed the ladder from room 701 to 801. After receiving the mission, they immediately began searching for the missing face on both floors, but after searching around, they couldn't find it.

The three of them felt that they might have overlooked something, so they searched the area even more thoroughly.

But on their second trip, they still couldn't even catch a glimpse of that face.

“We’ve searched thoroughly enough this time,” the fat man said, panting as he climbed the ladder to the eighth floor, talking to Coco upstairs. “We even searched every corpse in every room, we practically stripped them of their clothes. I was afraid they would jump up and bite me while we were searching them!”

Coco reached out with difficulty to pull the exhausted fat man up: "We really searched thoroughly this time, we didn't miss any place where things might be hidden... but where exactly is that face hidden?"

The fat man who climbed up patted his clothes and said, "If you ask me, it's probably embedded in the wall. I've searched every room, and I really can't think of anywhere else on these two floors that could be hiding something."

"Let's look again," came 007's voice from below. After seeing the fat man climb up, she also climbed up the ladder. "If we don't complete this mission, the dungeon probably won't give us a second one. Right now, we've only unlocked the locations of two corpses in the building, which is far from enough."

The fat man leaned over the opening and pulled 007 up, much easier than when Coco pulled him up.

“This time, let’s search room 708 where the quest was posted more thoroughly. The dungeon might be taking advantage of players’ tendency to hide their faces directly in the quest posting room, or even on that dismembered ghost’s body.” 007 glanced at the time.

With four hours and nine minutes remaining, nearly twenty minutes had passed since they received the task of finding the face, and they still hadn't found anything.

The fat man, seeing that there were only four hours left on the countdown, became a little anxious: "Let's go check room 708 first, and search the body for any places where things might be hidden to see if we can find anything."

Without wasting any time, the three immediately climbed down the ladder again; the dismembered demon's room was downstairs.

The fat man huffed and puffed as he climbed down, saying, "I should have known better than to climb up there..."

There were no corridors in the building, so after they climbed down, they walked through the rooms toward the signpost for 708, inevitably coming across corpses in various states of death.

The fat man found the strangely shaped corpses increasingly frightening, and he missed Gu Mian terribly.

"If only the doctor were here," the fat man muttered. "I wonder which floor he's on now."

Just as the three of them reached room 705, the large screen in the room suddenly changed and displayed a few lines of text.

Fatty's first thought was that the dungeon had given them another quest, but after reading the words, he realized it wasn't what he thought.

The person downstairs has completed another task.

[The hospitable Corpse in room 608 challenges the players on the fifth and sixth floors. The players on those floors successfully complete the challenge. Mr. 608 is impressed by the resourceful, intelligent, and strong players on that floor and unlocks three corpse locations for all players in the building.]

The fat man silently pondered the adjectives used to describe the player downstairs in the message.

"Ingenious, resourceful, brilliant, and incredibly strong..." Coco next to her couldn't help but read it aloud, her expression quite interesting.

In just a short while, the players on the fifth and sixth floors downstairs completed two tasks, and the task completion messages were filled with a string of adjectives for the players below.

"Such colorful adjectives, such a fast task completion speed, I wonder if the player downstairs is a doctor?" Fatty couldn't help but guess as he looked at the string of idioms.

"Possibly." 007 paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Only Gu Mian could be described as 'powerful and strong' in the dungeon."

As they spoke, the two lines of text on the screen gradually faded away, and then the previous table reappeared. This time, three more cartoon figures appeared on the table.

These are the charred little figures from room 201.

The little man in room 803 was damp and swollen.

A headless little man in room 106.

The fat man said, "Miss Coco's guess was right. This time, the person downstairs unlocked three corpse locations directly after completing the task. Sure enough, the further the time goes, the more slots are unlocked for each task..."

Just as he was speaking, the image on the big screen flashed again, and a few more lines of text appeared on it.

[Players on the third and fourth floors have successfully completed the memory challenge issued by Mr. Corpse in room 303. Mr. Corpse 303 will unlock four corpse locations for all players in the building.]

The players on the third and fourth floors also completed the challenge? And this time they even unlocked four corpse locations, but the mission completion summary this time didn't have the same dazzling adjectives as before.

The fat man watched as the two lines of text gradually disappeared and turned into a table, revealing the locations of four more corpses.

It's the little man who choked to death in room 707, the headless little man in room 305, the little man who drowned in room 307, and the little man who burned to death in room 508.

Nine of the sixty-four rooms are now unlocked.

“I don’t know who the players on the third and fourth floors are,” Coco said, looking at the four newly displayed corpses on the form. “They completed a memory challenge…”

"Is it Brother Chu?" The fat man deduced based solely on the mission. "I have a feeling that Brother Chu is the kind of person who would receive this kind of mission, after all, Brother Chu seems to be quite intelligent."

But that's not necessarily true. Fatty knew that the three men who were tied up in the storeroom on the first floor had also entered this instance. The middle-aged man who was leading them and wearing frameless glasses looked just as cunning and treacherous as Brother Chu, and seemed like the kind of person who would receive this kind of mission.

I wonder if the person on the third or fourth floor is the treacherous Chu Xiaoge or the cunning Ren Leshan.

Come to think of it, he seems to have a strange stereotype about people who wear glasses.

"The location of the newly unlocked corpse on our floor is right next to the dismembered corpse in 708." 007 looked at the big-bellied little man unlocked in the 707 square. "We almost unlocked the dismembered corpse."

“If the location of that dismembered body is unlocked, then we’ll have a lot more options,” the fat man started to suggest. “We can drag that body around and signal to those below. That way, they’ll notice that we’ve been carrying the dismembered body around on our floor, and they’ll probably figure out that we need this type of body.”

The dungeon unlocks the location of corpses for them, and the table will show the location when the corpses move.

“That’s one idea, but it’s hard to say whether the people below will understand our intentions…” Coco was skeptical of this bad idea. She suspected that the fat man’s mental state was becoming more like Gu Mian’s, becoming unrestrained, after following Gu Mian into the dungeon for so long.

Furthermore, the location of the dismembered ghost on their floor hasn't been unlocked yet, so this method can't be used now.

Just then, the three noticed that the location of the body on the form had suddenly changed.
