Global Collapse

Chapter 740 Hey, your wife, no, your wife
"Big brother, the people upstairs have moved." Qi Tian Xiao Sheng immediately noticed the change in the position of the corpses on the third and fourth floors. "They moved the charred corpses to 403. They didn't move them directly to 303 to help us get rid of the two here."

Ren Leshan observed the actions on the third and fourth floors and said, "They've compromised. It seems they don't have the bodies they need on the fifth and sixth floors."

The activity on the third and fourth floors did not stop at this time.

Two headless little figures were seen moving around and eventually stopped in rooms 304 and 404.

The meaning is obvious: the third and fourth floors need headless corpses, and Ren Leshan and his men need to move the headless corpses from room 104 up to make a three-way connection.

“It looks like the people up there need a headless corpse. How about we move the one from room 104 up there and get rid of the body for them first?” Qi Tian Xiao Sheng said to Ren Le Shan.

Ren Leshan stared at the screen without moving: "No."

“They need us, and we need them, so why should we compromise first? The third and fourth floors have already shown hostility towards us. If we help them dispose of the bodies first, they may not necessarily help us after they have done so,” Ren Leshan said to Qi Tian. “This is a deal. Whoever compromises first will be at a disadvantage.”

The current situation is very awkward.

The fat man was staring intently at the screen, paying attention to the situation on both sides of Chu Changge and Ren Leshan.

He could see that both sides needed each other at this moment. Chu Changge needed Ren Leshan's headless corpse, and Ren Leshan needed Chu Changge's charred corpse. However, both sides held onto the hostage tightly and refused to let go first, resulting in a stalemate.

The fat man, who had watched a lot of soap operas, imagined this scene in his mind—

Chu Changge and Ren Leshan each held the other's wife hostage, standing face to face on the edge of a cliff;

Chu Changge held a tetanus knife to the neck of his charred wife, Ren Leshan: "Your wife is in my hands, release her now!"

Ren Leshan gave a cold laugh and pushed Chu Changge's headless wife to the edge of the cliff: "Your wife is in my hands too, you can release her first."

"You put it down first."

"No, you put it down first."

"I'll count to three, two, one, then we'll release them together."

That's how it's usually portrayed in TV dramas.

Unfortunately, Chu Changge and Ren Leshan are now separated by a floorboard that can even keep out ghosts, so they can't communicate and naturally can't have the "I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll release them together" scene.

Both sides now feel that the other is treacherous and cunning and cannot be trusted, so they can only wait and see who loses their temper first.

"Brother Chu isn't one to lose his temper easily, and besides, he's right next to the doctors. Maybe there's a headless corpse on the doctors' floor that can help him," the fat man thought with hope.

Suddenly, 007's voice came from the side: "There is no headless corpse with Gu Mian."

Chu Changge placed the two headless corpses vertically in a row, practically writing on his face, "I need headless corpses."

If one of the three corpses that Gu Mian didn't display was a headless corpse, he would have already moved the corpse to help Chu Changge eliminate it.

But the fact that those two corpses are still there after all this time means that there is no corpse that Chu Changge needs in Gu Mian's floor.

Qi Tian Xiao Sheng was unaware of the relationships between the others. He hesitated as he looked at the screen: "But brother, aren't there still three corpses on the fifth and sixth floors that haven't been displayed yet? What if someone completes another task in a while, and a headless corpse appears on the fifth and sixth floors? What if the people on the third and fourth floors see it and immediately go to the fifth and sixth floors to cooperate?"

They'll be abandoned then.

Just as he feared, the screen displayed that the players on the fifth and sixth floors had completed another task and unlocked six corpse locations.

Qi Tian stared intently at the screen, wide-eyed, fearing that his prediction might come true.

No way……

Could it be that a headless corpse actually appears on the fifth or sixth floor?

He swallowed hard and nervously looked at the six newly unlocked corpses one by one.

"802 drowned, 805 strangled, 701 choked to death..." The remaining three bodies that were unlocked were all in room 406, and like the previous three, they were drowned, strangled, and choked to death respectively.

None of the six newly unlocked corpses were from the fifth or sixth floor.

When Ren Leshan saw that six more corpses had appeared, his heart skipped a beat. After looking at the six newly unlocked corpses, he calmed down and looked at the third and fourth floors in the table with a small smile: "It seems you still need me."

“They haven’t moved yet, it seems they don’t plan to take the first step.” Chu Changge stared at the screen for a while, then turned to look at the pile of corpses behind him. “We’re missing two dismembered corpses and one headless corpse.”

He wasn't in a hurry to eliminate the headless corpse. In fact, once he eliminated the dismembered corpse, the remaining headless corpse would be easy to deal with.

But now, no dismembered corpses are displayed upstairs or downstairs, not even the dismembered corpses on his own floor are showing up on the screen. So, he can't imitate the seventh or eighth floor carrying the dismembered corpses back and forth to hint to others.

Chu Changge glanced at the situation on the first and second floors again. If there were two dismembered corpses standing vertically connected below, he could simply move the dismembered corpses from his floor over to connect them and eliminate them.

Unfortunately, there were no dismembered corpses on the first and second floors. There were two strangled figures standing upright together, but the three strangled corpses on Chu Changge's side could disappear on their own, so there was no need for the corpses downstairs.

Thinking of this, he took a few steps back to the wall, pointed to a corpse, and said to Old Liu, who was waiting for instructions not far away, "Move this to 408."

Old Liu responded twice, squatted down in front of the corpse, and began to carry it.

Chu Changge walked past Old Liu, who was squatting, and came to the screen, staring at the first and second floors on the screen: "Since we've come this far in this confrontation, it seems unlikely that Fatty is down there."

"Damn it, there are only 46 minutes left. Look at these two, neither of them is moving. What if they both die together?" The fat man anxiously watched the situation below. He saw that the first and second floors and the third and fourth floors had remained silent, waiting for the other side to give in first.

The fat man was so anxious he needed to defecate; time was running out, and they had to dispose of the corpses on their floor.

As the fat man dragged the corpse, he kept an eye on the screen. The two remained locked in a stalemate, and in the blink of an eye, only forty minutes remained. Chu Changge looked at the countdown, which showed forty minutes left.

The people on the first and second floors were clearly getting impatient, repeatedly moving the position of the charred corpse below. They were clearly indicating that Chu Changge should help them remove the charred corpse first, and then they would help Chu Changge remove the headless corpse.

But Chu Changge was not in a hurry to eliminate the headless corpse.

"A headless corpse... whether or not there's help from below doesn't matter, the trouble is this dismembered corpse." Chu Changge stood at the feet of this dismembered corpse. There were still three corpses on the fifth and sixth floors above that hadn't been displayed, and two corpses on the first and second floors below that hadn't been displayed either. Chu Changge frowned, wondering whether the two dismembered corpses he needed were up there or down there.

"Aren't we going to do anything?" Old Liu, watching the countdown numbers getting smaller and smaller, started to get anxious. "At least let's clear out the corpses that our building can eliminate on their own first. The countdown is almost over!"

Just as Lao Liu was speaking, the screen changed.

Players on the fifth and sixth floors have completed another task, unlocking six more corpse locations.

Was there a dismembered body this time?

Chu Changge immediately looked at the screen and quickly found what she needed.

Dismemberment of the body, 607.

The dismembered body I need is on the fifth or sixth floor!

其他的分别是808烧焦尸体、602和207的淹死尸体、102的无头尸体，还有自己楼层406的烧焦尸体。不过这五个都不重要。

Chu Changge immediately came up with a way to hint to Gu Mian: "First, put the dismembered body in 407, then take any body whose position is displayed on the screen and move it up and down between 407 and 307."

The location of the charred corpses on their floor was not unlocked on the screen; Gu Mian could only be hinted at using other unlocked corpses.

"Okay, okay." Old Liu immediately picked up a strangled corpse and prepared to use it to move it up and down.

Chu Changge, standing beside him, reached out to stop him, pointing to a corpse that had been stuffed to death: "Use this one."

Old Liu was a little puzzled, not understanding why they would abandon the easy-to-move one and instead use such a heavy one, but he still scratched his head and did as instructed.

Gu Mian quickly discovered that directly beneath the dismembered body of 607, there was a small figure with a bulging belly moving up and down on the third or fourth floor.

It was clear that the people below were moving the body with great difficulty and at a very slow pace.

He quickly glanced at the types of corpses on the third and fourth floors: "The corpses that keep moving up and down are the ones that are supposed to die from overeating, but there are already three corpses that have been shown on the third and fourth floors. They can be eliminated on their own. They are not missing any corpses that are supposed to die from overeating."

"This action only started after the dismemberment ghost from room 607 appeared on the screen, and it kept moving directly below the dismemberment ghost. Could it be that he, like the people on the seventh and eighth floors, is also missing a dismemberment ghost?"

There are currently 35 minutes left on the countdown.

Without hesitation, Gu Mian immediately went to drag away another dismembered body that wasn't displayed on the screen.

"Can the people upstairs understand what we mean?" At this moment, Old Liu was carrying the pregnant corpse on his back, panting as he climbed the ladder from the fourth floor to the third floor.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Chu Changge's voice came from above: "No need to continue."

"Huh?" Old Liu was stunned for a moment and then immediately understood. It must be that the people on the upper floors understood their meaning and helped them erase the dismembered body.

Just as he was about to throw the corpse behind him to the ground to rest, he heard the woman named Chu Meiren above tell him to carry the overstuffed corpse back up.

"Fine." Old Liu had no choice but to huff and puff as he carried the corpse up again.

When I climbed up to room 407, the dismembered body that had been there was indeed gone; the people upstairs had taken care of it.

After climbing up, Old Liu threw the corpse on the ground and sat down heavily, panting: "Rest, rest, finally we've gotten rid of this mangled corpse. Hey buddy, how do we get rid of the other two headless corpses? The people downstairs haven't helped us at all."

He felt that this young man surnamed Chu was not in a hurry at all, as if it didn't matter whether the people downstairs helped or not.

"I have my own way." Chu Changge glanced at the countdown with only thirty minutes left. The dismembered corpses had been eliminated, and the two extra headless corpses were no longer a problem. "Let's eliminate the corpses on the floor that can be eliminated on their own first."

"Okay." Although the other person didn't say what the solution was, Lao Liu still believed him.

He agreed, dusted himself off, and got up to do the work Chu Changge had assigned him.

Suddenly, he noticed a folded piece of white paper lying on the ground where he had been sitting.

"Hey!" He immediately recognized it, bent down and carefully picked it up and unfolded it.

Chu Changge looked down and saw that it wasn't a blank sheet of paper, but a photograph. The three people in the photograph were smiling professionally at the camera; it was a family photo.

Old Liu stroked the creases on the photo repeatedly, gently brushing away the dust: "It must have fallen out when I was sitting on the ground just now. Sigh, I even crushed it..."

He cleaned the dust off the photo and put it back in his pocket like a precious treasure.

"Then I'll go and eliminate the corpses in our floor that we can eliminate ourselves." Remembering the task assigned by Chu Changge, Old Liu hurriedly walked to other rooms after putting away the photos.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from behind him: "...No need for now."

Now, I want to repeat what the author has already said twice!

GuGu forgot about the previous plot and watched Collapse of Worlds until 4 a.m., and found that Collapse of Worlds was really good.
