Global Collapse

Chapter 739 Eat My Gugu Chapter

All the floors became much quieter after that.

The remaining corpses on the floor belonging to Fatty, 007, and Coco can be eliminated automatically, but they are not doing so for now, planning to eliminate the corpses on the floor when the countdown is almost over.

After Chu Changge instructed Lao Liu to move all the corpses to room 406, he did not move any more corpses but went to do the newly issued mission.

We must complete the mission as soon as possible and unlock the locations of all the corpses in the building.

Ren Leshan was well aware of this as well. He knew that he had to know what the upper floors needed so that they would have leverage in negotiations. With that in mind, he went to study the new tasks that his floor had received.

The bodies inside the building were not moved further; everyone's priority during this time was completing the mission.

However, they found that the frequency of missions decreased and the difficulty increased as time went on.

What's strange is that the players on the fifth and sixth floors seem to have no bottleneck period at all, completing the task in a rapid, unpredictable manner.

"What's going on on the fifth and sixth floors?" Ren Leshan had already noticed that the task speed on the fifth and sixth floors was abnormal. "The frequency of receiving tasks is so high."

The speed at which this instance issues quests to the fifth and sixth floors is outrageous, as if it doesn't want the people on those floors to have any rest time at all.

At this point, only one hour and twenty minutes remained on the countdown, and the locations of 44 corpses in the building had already been unlocked.

Of course, the vast majority of tasks are completed on the fifth or sixth floor.

It has to be said that the little tasks in this instance are quite childlike, with games like playing house, hide-and-seek, and dice rolling arranged for Gu Mian, as if taking him back to his childhood.

Because he was so unlucky, he hardly ever experienced group games as a child.

Actually, when he was very young, he played hide-and-seek once in the orphanage. That time, Chu Changge, who was wearing a floral dress, was in charge of finding people.

At that moment, as soon as Chu Changge covered his eyes and started counting down, Gu Mian happily ran off to find places to hide with the other children.

When playing hide-and-seek, of course you hide in the most secluded places.

Unfortunately, Gu Mian entered a secluded alley and accidentally stepped into a manhole whose cover had been lifted.

Another child fell down with him.

It's likely that he chose a very remote location, as the two of them called out from the well for a long time without being discovered.

The sun outside gradually set in the west, and the sky grew darker and darker until the round moon rose and rose directly overhead.

The child who fell in with Gu Mian was crying so hard he couldn't speak; only his shoulders were still trembling.

Just as Gu Mian's stomach was growling with hunger and she thought she was doomed to starve to death here, a shadow suddenly fell over the well.

He looked up and saw Chu Changge's head sticking out of the well, just enough to block out the moon.

Chu Changge's head blocked the screen, so Lao Liu had to move a few steps to the side to see what was obscured.

He felt uneasy. This young man, Chu, had been standing in front of the screen for a long time, and he wondered what he was thinking.

Old Liu anxiously counted on his fingers: "We're missing two chopped-up corpses and one headless corpse. The headless one is easy to find downstairs, but the chopped-up one..."

No. Chu Changge stared at the fifth or sixth floor where Gu Mian was.

So far, Gu Mian has unlocked twelve corpses on the floor, but none of them contain the headless or dismembered corpses he needs.

At that time, the people on the seventh and eighth floors asked Gu Mian for help because they needed dismembered corpses. Gu Mian probably used two dismembered corpses to form a three-way connection with the people on the seventh and eighth floors, but one of them did not unlock on the screen.

Excluding the dismembered corpse that was eliminated before being unlocked, there are only three corpses left on Gu Mian's floor that have not yet been displayed on the screen.

Unless the three corpses are two dismembered bodies and one headless, perfectly matching their requirements, they will still have to cooperate with the people on the first and second floors.

Chu Changge had never met Ren Leshan, but he had heard about him from the fat man, and he was pretty sure that Ren Leshan was on the first or second floor.

However, Chu Changge was still unsure whether there were other people on the first and second floors.

007 and Coco are quick-witted; if they were matched with Ren Leshan on the same floor, they would definitely stop Ren Leshan from moving the corpse the first time.

Only a fool would be so stupid as to let the corpses at Renle Mountain be moved around.

So the person on the same floor as Ren Leshan might be another of his henchmen... and the fat man too.

Chu Changge walked to a charred corpse and looked at Old Liu: "Drag this charred corpse to room 403."

Old Liu was taken aback: "Drag it to 403? Instead of putting it in 303, it will connect with the three rooms on the first and second floors below?"

Placing it in 303 would create three links that could be eliminated directly. Old Liu didn't quite understand why Chu Changge didn't just link it with the two charred corpses downstairs to eliminate them.

"I won't let go." Chu Changge didn't explain further.

Old Liu muttered to himself. He's never been very bright, and sometimes he can't understand a lot of what others are saying to him. Over time, he's become a somewhat silent executor. He just follows orders without thinking to ask why.

He approached the charred corpse, squatted down with his back to Chu Changge, and dragged the body toward room 403.

He used to do manual labor in a factory, carrying iron, so dragging a corpse wouldn't be too difficult for him.

Qi Tian Xiao Sheng and he were both iron carriers in the same factory. After the global game started, Qi Tian Xiao Sheng once asked him, "Old Liu, we both used to do manual labor in the factory, and we have nothing to do with hardware stores, so why did you choose this name?"

"Haha, when there was no work in the factory before, I rode my tricycle with a broken rearview mirror everywhere looking for temporary work. But I was too old, and the temporary workers only wanted strong young people. I would get up at five in the morning and look for work everywhere. Sometimes I would look for work until noon and no one would want me. I got anxious and rode my tricycle from market to market."
"The midday sun was scorching, and my skin peeled off. My shirt was completely soaked. I had already drunk all the water in my bottle. I was so thirsty, but I couldn't bear to buy a bottle of water from a roadside vendor for a dollar."
"Back then, I passed by a hardware store and saw the owner, who was about my age, leisurely strolling in front of the store on a cool chair, holding an ice pop in one hand and waving a small fan in the other. He looked so idyllic."

"At that time, I thought, if I had some spare money, I would open a hardware store and enjoy life like him."

From then on, opening a hardware store became his greatest dream.

After that, every time he passed by that hardware store, no matter how tired he was, he would stop and look at it for a while, imagining himself sitting at the door, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan.

At these times, a silly smile would always appear on his face.

Later, when the global game started, he immediately thought of himself eating popsicles while fanning himself with a palm leaf fan when filling in his nickname. With a simple yet longing heart, he described his wish.

"Old Liu from Shengli Hardware Store"

Oh no! I updated too early today and couldn't think of anything to say. Just consider this an author's note I wrote a whopping 800 words! 800! 800! 800!
