Be a BUG in a survival game

Chapter 931 Prelude to Public Beta 4

[Dear beta testers, please note that Parallel Paradise is about to launch its first phase of public beta. This time, the participating players in the public beta are all humans on Blue Star]

[Public beta countdown: 47:59:59]

Su Tingyu saw the last time, which really started on September 1st two days later.

[Dear players, please note that Parallel Park will be temporarily closed for two days. During this period, the player's panel system will not be open and available. We apologize for any inconvenience caused to you! 】

[Close countdown: 10, 9, 8...]

"Shut it down? Get a hammer?" Being woken up, Su Tingyu couldn't fall asleep for the time being.

If the panel system is shut down, will Lucifer who comes out be forced to go back?

Su Tingyu immediately jumped out of bed and opened the closet. Lucifer was sleeping comfortably on the small bed.

Su Tingyu looked at the panel again, but her expression was stunned: "Huh? Why did it stop?"

On the panel, the countdown stopped at the number "2", and there was no further movement for a long time.

Su Tingyu stretched out her hand tentatively, the interface was switched, and everything in the panel system was as normal.

"Hmm? What's going on?"

Su Tingyu switched to the player forum and found that except for the posts that had already been posted, it was all quiet and no new posts appeared.

"What...what happened?" Lucifer woke up in a daze. He was woken up by the guy in his head.

Su Tingyu subconsciously comforted her: "It's okay, just keep sleeping."

Lucifer looked at Su Tingyu for two seconds, as if to confirm, he said softly "Oh" and lay back on the small bed.

Su Tingyu gently closed the closet, but the doubts in her heart still existed.

Didn't you say turn off the panel?

Why hasn't my panel been closed yet?

Will other people's panels be like this?

"I'm going to ask Fatty. He should have been woken up by now." Su Tingyu had just picked up the phone and was about to dial Fatty's mobile number, when the latter had already called him first.

Su Tingyu answered the call and heard Fatty's voice.

"Boss! Did you see the announcement on the panel?"

"I see, your panel can't be opened now?"

"Yes, but that doesn't matter. What matters is what's outside! Boss! Go and look at the sky...the sky..." The fat man's voice was rough, as if he had been hit by some huge blow.

"In the sky?" Su Tingyu suddenly felt curious. She opened the curtains, opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, and walked out.

Su Tingyu raised her head to look at the sky. The next second, a look of deep astonishment appeared in her eyes.

She murmured: "What is this?"

——At this moment.

Above the sky like splashing ink, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Through the silver light cast by the bright moon, Su Tingyu could clearly see the huge black towers with triangular pointed characters standing in the sky, hanging without falling.

There are countless tall towers visible to the naked eye, from far to near, stretching to the sky.

"Mom, what is that?"

"Holy crap! What is that in the sky? A projection? Who is making a movie?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Are you a demon? I'm reporting someone who is disturbing the residents late at night! They are casting a projection in the sky..."

"..."

All over the world, both those who are not sleeping in the night time zone and those who are active in the day time zone are gradually discovering the giant triangular spires in the sky.

Some were confused, some were surprised, some were panicked, some took out their mobile phones to take pictures... There is no doubt that it caused a global sensation!!

"...Boss? Boss? Are you still there?"

The fat man's shout came to his ears, which made Su Tingyu come back to his senses.

"I'm here." Su Tingyu responded. She remembered the panel and then asked, "Fat man, can't you open the panel now?"

"Yes, boss, all player panels cannot be opened now..."

Hearing this, Su Tingyu blinked his big eyes, and with a thought, his panel popped up again.

My panel is still not closed.

Are all players closed?

What about her?

"Boss, aren't all the things in the sky caused by games?" the fat man asked.

Su Tingyu pondered for a moment and replied: "The panel has just been announced to be closed, and the countdown to the open beta has begun, and those triangular spires outside have appeared... Maybe there is some connection between them."

"Then this..."

"It's okay, aren't there still two days left? And we are internal beta players, so we have an advantage over other people who don't know." Su Tingyu said with relief, hearing the worry in the fat man's words.

"Yeah, I understand, boss..."

"Hang up now. I'll go find you after I finish my work tomorrow."

"good."

"..."

The call ends.

A gust of night wind blew by, and Su Tingyu, who was only wearing short-sleeved pajamas, couldn't help but rub his arms and muttered: "Hey, why do you feel so cold..."

Temperature drops?

etc……

Su Tingyu realized something was wrong and quickly went back to the house to find the thermometer.

——21℃

Su Tingyu's eyes suddenly widened: "How is that possible! This is the magical city in August!"

This kind of temperature only occurs in spring and autumn at most, but now, it is still a hot summer...

Severe heat?

It seems to have been too cool these days, and Su Tingyu almost forgot that it was summer.

Not normal! This is not normal!

Su Tingyu placed the thermometer on the bedside table without taking it back. She stared at the temperature number displayed on it and thought to herself: "Tomorrow... Xiao Yuyu is coming, I must ask him for details!"

Su Tingyu lay back on the bed, tossed and turned for half an hour, and fell asleep again.

…

Three o'clock in the morning.

Kyoto.

Paranormal Research Institute.

Xie Puyu was having supper with a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties.

Xie Puyu put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the person opposite, and said in a respectful tone: "Director Luo, it's time for all the staff of your research institute to evacuate."

Luo Min finished her supper and wiped her mouth with a tissue: "We have some important data on hand that need to be measured, but we only need one night and we can evacuate tomorrow."

"That's good."

The two held the bowls and chopsticks, threw them into the storage box, and then left the canteen area together and headed to the research room.

Luo Min: "During this period, I have worked hard on you and Shangguan girl to help us deal with complicated data."

"Fortunately, it's not hard."

"..."

As soon as the two people walked into the door of the research room, they came face to face with a researcher who looked panicked.

"Director! Oh no! There is an important discovery!" The researcher held a tablet in his hand and swiped the screen with his fingers, presenting the content on the tablet to the two of them:

"Temperatures are dropping all over the world! They are dropping by about 0.5°C every hour, and there is even snowfall in the Tohoku region. If the temperature drop does not stop, in two days, the whole country... no! The whole world will be affected.

Covered in ice and snow!”

"What? It's here so quickly..." Luo Min's expression instantly became solemn.

Although I received the news in advance, when the facts really appeared before my eyes, I was still shocked.

"This situation...could it be..." A bad guess suddenly emerged in Luo Min's mind:

"Not good! This is the fifth ice age that has been brought forward!"

As soon as these words came out, all the staff in the research room were shocked.

Xie Puyu frowned: "Ahead of schedule? Isn't it expected that the fifth ice age will come in 200-300 million years? How come it is suddenly ahead of schedule?"

So far, Blue Star has experienced four major ice ages. With each major ice age, Blue Star is no longer the beautiful star of the ocean, but a star of ice and snow that is completely devoid of life!

Most of the creatures on the Blue Star cannot survive the extreme cold!

"It's probably...that damn game is the influence!"

"Quick! Notify everyone! Let all departments be prepared!"

"..."

Originally, it was only predicted that the coming of the open beta would make Blue Star's living environment even worse, but never expected... that it would directly enter the fifth ice age!

The Great Ice Age...can humans survive?

Even if humans can survive, when necessities such as food and water are no longer available, humans are not far from extinction.

For a time, all the staff in the research room were busy nervously.

…

——Chinese time: 2021.8.30

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Su Tingyu got up.

After washing and dressing, Su Tingyu took her keys and mobile phone and went out to buy breakfast.

As soon as he went out, Su Tingyu looked up and saw the triangular spire high in the sky.

On the road, many pedestrians were looking up at the tower, and some were still whispering and discussing the origin of the tower.

After Su Tingyu bought breakfast, she went to the nearest supermarket to stock up on some drinks for Lucifer.

But who knows, many people gathered in front of the supermarket, all rushing to buy supplies.

Over the past month, officials have revealed information bit by bit, first about the virus crisis, and then suggesting that people should not go out casually and stock up on supplies at home.

Nowadays, with the emergence of the mysterious tower, many thoughtful people, combined with various abnormalities in recent times, have begun to speculate whether the world will suffer a catastrophe.

Su Tingyu relied on his strength to finally grab two boxes of drinks and then went home.

When Su Tingyu arrived at the door of her home, she received a call from the property management company in the villa area.

"Hello Miss Su, have you purchased a lot of goods online? A carload of express delivery has arrived..."

"Okay, I'll sign for it right away."

Su Tingyu left breakfast and drinks at home, and then went out again to pick up the express delivery car.

Su Tingyu finished breakfast first, then began to unpack the express delivery and stuffed all the materials inside into the storage ring.

After finishing, Su Tingyu went upstairs to find Lucifer.

Su Tingyu opened the door and heard the sound of the TV series.

It turned out that it was Lucifer who had just woken up. Seeing that Su Tingyu was no longer there, he got up by himself, turned on the computer skillfully, and then sat in front of the computer screen to catch up on the TV series he had not finished watching last night.

Seeing that Su Tingyu was back, Lucifer stretched out his hand to her out of habit: "Drink, drink."

Hearing this, Su Tingyu took out the two boxes of drinks from the storage ring and placed them on the ground.

Then, he opened the package and took out a few bottles, placing them all on the table so that Lucifer could drink them at any time.

"Didi."

At this time, Su Tingyu received a new message on her mobile phone. She looked down and saw that it was from Xie Puyu, saying that he would come to find her around noon.

At noon, Su Tingyu had just finished lunch. Not long after, the doorbell rang downstairs.

Su Tingyu went down to open the door and saw Jie Puyu.

Su Tingyu glanced at the two faint dark circles on Jie Puyu's face and said jokingly: "What's the matter? Insomnia?"

Xie Puyu shook her head and walked into the house.

"I've been at the Supernatural Research Institute these days." Xie Puyu found a seat and sat down.

Su Tingyu got straight to the point: "Tell me what you didn't finish in the previous call."

Xie Puyu pondered for two seconds and then spoke slowly:

"The fifth ice age is coming, and global temperatures are continuing to drop. By the time the public beta begins, it is estimated that there will be no area in the world where snow will not fall."

After learning this shocking news, Su Tingyu was shocked: "The Great Ice Age? Are you talking about the Great Ice Age in history?"

Xie Puyu nodded: "At first, we learned from a mysterious person that when the public beta was launched, the global environment would also be affected, so we made preparations in advance and planned to move the entire population to the south where the environment is relatively better...

"

"Wait? A mysterious man? Who is this man?"

Xie Puyu shrugged: "I don't know very well. I just know that he is an older man, and his surname seems to be Gu."

"Gu?" Su Tingyu was even more confused.

"Okay, you don't have to think too much. A lot of preparations have been made above. There are still two days left, so we still have time to prepare." Xie Puyu paused, and then there was a little pity in his voice: "It's just that

, the mall system has a lot of black technology to keep out the cold, but we can’t bring out any game items that are too big.”

When Su Tingyu heard this, he inevitably thought of his own panel again, and immediately became entangled again.

Should I say it or not?

Do you want to say it?

Su Tingyu has been struggling with this issue for nearly three months.

In the end, Su Tingyu made up his mind, bit his lower lip lightly, and asked: "Xiao Yuyu, is there any player panel that can be opened now?"

Xie Puyu shook her head: "No, I haven't found any player whose panel can still be opened."

"Xiao Yuyu, look here." Su Tingyu suddenly stretched out his finger and pointed in the air in front of him.

"What are you looking at..."

Xie Puyu was very puzzled, but the next second, his eyes were dull for a moment.

Because...a player panel appeared in front of him!

"You...this is your panel??"

Su Tingyu nodded: "Yes, mine. I don't know why, but my panel didn't close because of this, and..."

"And what?" Xie Puyu asked.

"Besides, I can also..." Su Tingyu said as he opened the inventory and took out a bottle of mineral water.

The mineral water that appeared out of thin air fell on the table, and Xie Puyu felt even more unbelievable.

"You... dead fish, you wouldn't put the whole bottle of mineral water..." into your body, would you?

Before Xie Puyu could finish speaking, Su Tingyu immediately glared at the former: "What are you thinking about? I took it out directly from the inventory!"

With that said, Su Tingyu waved his hand and took out the second bottle of mineral water.

"This, this, this..."

The evidence was right in front of him. Now, Puyu couldn't help but not believe it.
