global collapse

Guigu still remembers the previous trailer about the Upside-down City event.

[Special event ‘Upended City’ is about to arrive on Earth]

[Trail: This is a harbor without storms and the last shelter for mankind. After December 1st, the first batch of "Upended City" will descend to the earth. "Upended City" will exist forever. Everyone is welcome to move in]

The announcement was released and Guigu had just escaped from a copy when he was leaning against the fallen wall of the ticket booth.

Cigarettes are now considered luxury goods. How can we exchange game coins for food for people? How can we exchange extra money for such things?

This cigarette was found when you moved the hand and scaffolding in the base before. There were half a bag of cigarettes, which were pressed under piles of steel racks. It looked a bit old.

He remembered that as soon as he lit the cigarette, the announcement about the Upside-down City jumped out. At that time, Guigu was stunned and looked at the announcement for a long time, until the cigarette in his hand burned out in his daze.

"The harbor without storms, the last shelter for mankind... Does this kind of thing really exist?" he asked himself.

If the Upside-down City is really so good, their entire base can be moved in. Guigu forced himself to ignore the suspiciousness in this activity, thinking that if the entire base is really allowed to enter the Upside-down City, he can remove the burden on his body.

At that time, their base organized several discussions on this upside-down city event.

At this time, Hao Laoshi, who was still in shock, reached out to hold the wall beside him, opened his eyes wide and looked at the plot that had been completely hanging upside down in the sky in the distance: "Updated City? Is the activity that everyone is talking about that is very well introduced but there are most likely traps inside?"

Hao Laoshi also attended the discussion on the Overturned City.

The activity introduction is so nice that most people in the base think there is a fraud, and these people are more willing to maintain the status quo. They said that even if the Upside-down City appears near the base, they would not go there, and said that they would always follow Guigu.

Hao Laoshi actually had hope for this event. At that time, he thought that if the Upside-down City really appeared near the base, he would be willing to take the lead and help everyone try what was going on inside.

But unexpectedly, before the upside down City appeared, he and Guigu were teleported here. The dramatic thing was that the upside down City appeared nearby at the same time. However, he thought that the people here would probably not want to enter the upside down City, and he didn't need to take the lead.

"Not far from here." Guigu looked out through the window at the sky outside.

At this time, the land of Ascension had completely turned over and stabilized in the sky, and the ground under their feet also stopped shaking.

Of course, the momentary movement also attracted the attention of others. Guigu heard several sounds of door openings from the corridor outside, and then a young woman's voice rang out outside.

"Did you see that the ground has risen to the sky outside." Keke immediately noticed an abnormality outside the window, and then she quickly reacted to tell others about this. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Liu Ruyan who had also opened the door.

"It's an upside down city," Liu Ruyan looked back and saw that the plot that had become a "Sky Island" was still falling down. "Didn't Gu Mian and others say that after returning from Paradise World, it was like this when the upside down city of Paradise World was formed, flipping from the ground and flying into the sky."

Coco nodded slightly. Gu Mian had witnessed the emergence of the upside-down city in the paradise world, and he also told them when he came back.

But it is different from hearing others' words. When Gu Mian heard them, Keke imagined in his heart that a small piece of ground rose to the sky without any resistance, leaving only a bottomless pothole on the original ground.

But the scene in reality is much more shocking than imagined. At a rough look, the ground that ascended to heaven is almost as big as half a city. It obscures the sunlight slanted from the sky above and covers the surrounding ground in darkness.

When the two of them were talking, they heard a "creak" sound from the side, and another door was opened.

Keke looked at the newly opened door and saw Guigu and Hao's honest faces. Just now, when Fatty and Liu Ruyan brought them down to choose a room, Keke opened the door and asked about the situation, knowing that the two of them came out of the previous copy with Gu Mian.

Guigu said hello to the two of them with a restrained attitude. After saying hello, he stopped talking and didn't know what to say next. The person who used to give orders when he was in the base, and when everyone encountered difficulties, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision. At this point, he was finally able to silently wait for others to make a choice.

Liu Ruyan had no interest in the Upside-down City, but she saw that Guigu seemed to want to go and see: "Look at that place is not far from here, Gu Mian and the others should go there. If you want to go and see it, go up to Gu Mian and ask him to take you with you when he goes."

After saying that, she closed the door and returned to the room. Only Keke and Guigu were left in the corridor. Everyone was not familiar with each other and had nothing to say. In the awkward silence, Keke nodded to Guigu and then closed the door.

Hao Laoshi opened his mouth slightly and looked at the closed door of the two: "Their reaction to the upside down city is very weak. If such things appear near our base, the people in the base will definitely be boiling, and then they held several discussion meetings to discuss whether it will have any impact on us, whether to go nearby to see it, etc...."

Guigu closed the door and spoke to Hao Hushi: "Our base is too fragile, so fragile that a small change can bring a devastating blow, so people reacted greatly to the changes in things around them."

Hao thought about it for a while and felt that it was true. People who were in a state of anxiety would be more cautious about their surroundings.

"But Mr. Gu, why did you recognize that it was from the Upside-down City at a glance?" Hao Laoshi asked curiously, "We have never seen what the Upside-down City looks like before, and the specific appearance of the Upside-down City was not mentioned at the event."

When he saw a large piece of ground outside lifting off the sky just now, Hao Houshi thought it was a new wonder of the earth, but Guigu recognized it at a glance that it was an upside down city.

"A friend who is not in the base told me that the friend told me that there was a plot of land flying into the sky near their base. After going to investigate, I found that there was an upside down city there." The friend was a former colleague from Guigu and also organized people to build a large base, but it was far from Hulu Gorge.

The friend described the characteristics of the Upside Down City in detail to Guigu, so he could only recognize the Upside Down City at a glance today. However, his friend lost contact with Guigu not long after appearing in the Upside Down City, and even the name in the friend list was erased, which was a symbol of death.

After hearing Liu Ruyan say that Gu Mian would probably go to the upside down city to take a look, Guigu thought about it and decided to go up.

Of course, Gu Mian and others on the upper floor also saw the upside down city floating in the distance. Their floor heights could see the situation there more clearly.

The fat man stood against the window and looked nervously at the floating object in the sky: "It's the upside down city! The doctor's upside down city appeared near us!"

Gu Mian's ears hurt because of his quarrel: "I'm not blind, I've seen it a long time ago."

Gu Mian has seen the upside down city twice in the paradise world, and has long lost any newness to this kind of thing. However, the first time I saw the upside down city in the real world, I still need to take a look. It is not because of curiosity, but because I want to confirm what the upside down city in the real world is.

The fat man recalled the description in the announcement: "The harbor without storms, the last shelter for mankind..."

While repeating the announcement, he looked at the upside down city in the distance. Unfortunately, he couldn't see the situation above from too far away. He could only see the shadows of tall buildings on it, and it seemed that they were the original buildings on the ground.

"Then is the south side. It seems that the entire piece of land in the south of Lianhua has been in the sky. But the ground is in the sky, how should players go in and participate in the event? Do you have to drive on your own?" The fat man asked a question.

Just as the fat man asked, the door was knocked, and Guigu's voice came from outside: "I am Guigu, are you here?"

Gu Mian was a little puzzled. Not long after the fat man had just sent Guigu downstairs, his butt was not even hot now, so why can't I wait to get up again?

Chu Changge opened the door for Guigu near the door.

After Guigu entered the door, he thanked Chu Changge first, and then rubbed his hands and looked at the people in the room.

Seeing Gu Mian and the fat man looking at him, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. Although he came up with a clear purpose, Guigu had not communicated normally with people for too long, so he didn't know how to speak for a while. After about half a minute, he made a voice: "You have also seen the Upside-down City. I heard Liu Ruyan say you might go there to take a look."

"The doctor must have gone to see it so close to us." The fat man scratched his head and understood the intention of Guigu's trip. "Do you want to see it too?"

Guigu nodded: "In fact, in addition to the upside-down city I learned from the announcement, I have also heard the description of the upside-down city from others."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment before continuing to speak: "It was a colleague of mine before the global game started. They also organized a base there, but it was quite far from Huluxia. Not long after the game started, we added friends..."

The fat man was a little curious: "After the global game started, the communication was cut off. How did you know the other party's nickname and friends if you were not together?"

"After the game started, many of our colleagues gave more formulaic names, namely place names, positions and names," Guigu explained. "I entered a similar name in the column of my friends to try to add colleagues from other places. I didn't expect to ask me to add a few more people; "One of the colleagues told me that they also organized a base, and there were nearly 200 more people in it than Hulu Gorge. Not long ago, he heard from him that an upside down city appeared near the base, and a group of people went to the upside down city to explore the situation several times and gained some understanding of the situation there. He told me that there was a round trip between the upside down city and the ground, and came from the upside down city at midnight every Sunday and returned from here."

Is there a train?

The fat man was stunned when he heard this, turned to look at the city hanging in the sky outside the window, but did not see any rails or anything else.

Guigu continued: "The train can carry people from the ground to the upside down city, and can also carry people from the upside down city back to the ground. The description on the train is like this, but no one has been on that city yet, so I don't know if the description on the train can return to the ground is true."

"Was no one in it when the upside down city was formed?" Gu Mian remembered that there were many inferior people on the upside down city he saw in the Paradise World. It should be that the inferior people in the area were formed when the upside down city was formed.

Guigu nodded: "Yes, although the population density over there is already very small, he should have brought a group of people up when the upside down city went up, but when the people below looked up, they could only see the scene above, which was a hazy shadow. Just like a mosaic, they could only see a blur, but they could see blurred figures moving on it."

This is different from the upside-down city that Gu Mian has seen in the paradise world. In the paradise world, Gu Mian can clearly see the people and things above. Is this the difference between the earth?

The fat man turned his head and looked at the city in the sky outside the window. He couldn't see if it was a mosaic on it.

"My friend observed the people above on the ground for a few days, but because the figures were too blurry, they could not determine what the people above were like. In the early morning of the first Sunday, they were guarding the station on the ground to see if there would be people above. From the ground, they could see the blurred station on the upside down city. They noticed that when it was almost arrived on the early morning of Sunday, there were several groups of figures guarding the station on the upside down city, and it seemed like they were about to get off; "But in the end, none of the people boarded the train, and only one empty train got off."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The people above may know some rules that people below do not know," Gu Mian said, "If the car can carry people repeatedly between the ground and the upside down city without restrictions, the people above will not be so staggering and dare not get on the bus. I think there should be rules above that similar to 'As long as you take a car, you can't go back again'."

Guigu also agreed with Gu Mian's words: "My friend also analyzed this at that time. Because it was the first week when the Upside-down City appeared, they had too little information, so no one got in the base on the first Sunday, and they planned to observe for another week. However, a few people who were not in the base got in the car. They were players living nearby and they didn't seem to have a good life. "In fact, their base was also in a state of lack of resources, and because the people in the Upside-down City Base appeared nearby were a little slack, just like the person who fell into the water holding a driftwood and suddenly saw someone coming to save him. He no longer struggled and drifted like before. They felt that their hope was coming."

Although the thing about the Upside-down City is a bit suspicious when you look closely, it also gives people some room for fantasy. Once people in high-pressure environments have hope, they will subconsciously relax.

"Did that car only travel back and forth once a week? First come from the upside down city to the ground and then return from the ground to the upside down city?" the fat man asked.

Guigu nodded: "Yes, come to the ground from the upside down city first, stay here for ten minutes and then return to the upside down city."

The fat man sorted out the order: "If you go back and forth in this order, if the people on the ground take the train to the upside down city and want to come back, they have to spend a week inside and wait for the train to start next Sunday."

"Yes, so my friend and they decided to watch it on the ground for another week to see if those who came up from the ground will come back next week when the train starts."

The fat man was curious: "Are those people back?"

Guigu shook his head: "No, no one still came down from above in the second week. To be cautious, I think they should observe it more, but the people in the base could not hold back; "The base still maintained the normal process two weeks after the appearance of the Upside-down City. People entered the dungeon to earn game coins according to the distribution, and of course some people died during this period. Some people think that the death during this period is meaningless. They think that the beautiful oasis has appeared in the nearby base but are not allowed to enter. It is because the base leaders have been slow to make the decision to go to the Upside-down City, which has caused unnecessary casualties these days. Some even speculated that the top leaders of the base wanted to monopolize the Upside-down City. "In a densely populated high-pressure environment, this conspiracy theory is very easy to spread. Soon most people in the base had their opinions and began to complain about my friend's hesitation."

History is always surprisingly similar. Gu Mian knew that if this base continued to develop, rebellion would break out.

"At this time, someone in the base stood up and said that he was willing to go up and set the lead for everyone. My friend knew that if he dragged it down, the base would change. Now they must send someone to take a look. But it is absolutely impossible to put an unprofessional and irrational person on the upside down and the first person to go to the city of Hanging. He may make a wrong judgment and mislead other people in the base because he was deceived and passed the wrong information to mislead others."

The fat man understood this truth: "Just one day I made a very unpalatable and toxic dish. The first doctor who ate this dish was deceived by me and shouted it was delicious after eating it. When others heard the first doctor who ate this, they all used their chopsticks to rush to eat my dish. In the end, everyone was in food poisoning together."

Guigu felt his eyes twitch, but immediately he digested the fat man's abstract description: "It's almost that. The experience gained by the first person who practiced is often more convincing. If there is danger in the upside down city but the first person who went up was blinded and sent back to the safe message there, the entire base would be in danger."

The fat man thought: "Yes, it's like seeing a contract that can save his life in this world where he can die at any time, and someone has proved its authenticity. If I want me, I must have tried my best to sign this contract. Whoever stops me is not kind."

"Yes, once the first person who went up is blinded and sent back the wrong information, the people in the base will flock to climb the upside down city and cannot be stopped at all. Therefore, the first person who goes up is particularly important, and must have a clear mind and sufficient sense of judgment. So my friend decided to be the first person who goes up the city. He is delicate and very smart."

The fat man was fascinated by the sound of it: "What happened later? Can he still contact you after he arrived at the Upside-down City?"

At this time, an incomprehensible expression appeared on Guigu's face, as if he had recalled something puzzling.

The fat man thought he was going to say a bizarre and terrifying reversal next, but unexpectedly things didn't go in the direction he imagined: "Yes, in fact, we are all ready to be unable to contact the ground after he went to the upside down City. Unexpectedly, he could still contact people through the friend list on it."

"I asked him what was going on, and he said it was strange, just like before the global game started, it was like going back to the past, and the dungeons I experienced in global games seemed like just a nightmare."

In fact, I recall that I didn’t have much happiness in my life before the start of global games, but I was a big man, and it was like a paradise compared to now when I compared the start of global games.

The fat man was curious: "Have he told you about the specific situation of the Upside-down City? For example, who is on it, and what is the difference between the buildings above and when they are on the ground."

Guigu frowned and recalled: "There are many people. When he went up, he also felt strange. Although the ground area that rose to the sky was large, the maximum number of players was only twenty or thirty according to the population density at that time. In addition, the few people who went up later died of forty death. But there were many people on it, let alone forty, and there were 400."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Gu Mian reasonably suspects that the group of people above are not players, but may be NPCs placed on it to liven up the atmosphere.

"He could not determine the identities of those above at first, but after careful contact, he found that the people above were not fake but real players. They knew about the global game and knew that they were in the upside down city. They were having fun in the upside down city. It felt strange that you went to a restaurant to eat and eat, and other tables around you started to play, but you should eat and drink and have fun; "The buildings above also looked the same as when they were on the ground, but they were all repaired after going up. At the beginning of the game, both the convenience store and the mall were smashed and snatched, but all the damaged buildings were repaired and repaired to their previous appearance, and the things inside were also returned; "There is indeed a rule that you can't go back to the upside down city after leaving by train, so no one on the above went down;

"My friend stayed in it for several days and told me that there was nothing unusual in the Upside-down City. The people inside were very happy and satisfied. Even he felt very happy on it..."

When Guigu said this, he felt that his friend's reaction was inappropriate.

"Are you sure your friend is still your friend after going up?" A voice suddenly came from the side.

Guigu was startled by the sudden sound from behind, and turned to see Chu Changge. He didn't know when he was already sitting next to him, but he was reading the book in his hand and did not look up to see him.

Guigu calmed down: "To be honest, I have doubted it so much in my heart. Sometimes I doubted whether the person I talked to was still him. I even asked him openly and secretly some questions that could prove his identity and wanted to try whether he had been dropped. "I just said that he was very smart. When I asked him those questions openly and secretly, he understood that I doubted him, and he said several things that only we knew. What he said was very accurate. I basically confirmed that he was still the one I knew and had not been dropped. "I asked him if he was so good at it, should he ask the people from their base to go to the upside down city together immediately. But he told me that I was not very relieved and planned to observe for a week before making a decision."

Speaking of this, Guigu stopped.

"What?" The fat man was a little anxious and wanted to continue listening to the following plot.

Guigu showed an ugly smile: "No, that was the last conversation between me and him. Not long after this conversation, he disappeared and disappeared from my friend list."
