Chapter 748: The wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and there are people who freeze to death on the road
A city hanging upside down?
Looking at the activity panel, Gu Mian immediately thought of the conversation between the two salesmen just now.
Goose Village, where the headquarters of the Toy Goose Food Processing Factory is located, is upside down. When I talked to Game City Store Manager Jin a few days ago, the other party said similar things. The City of Joy in Paradise World is also upside down. .
The name of the event "The Hanging City" feels somewhat similar to the situation mentioned by Manager Jin and others.
Gu Mian continued to look at the activity panel on the homepage.
[Special event 'The Hanging City' is coming to the earth soon]
[Start time: December 1st]
It is November 21st. This event will come in ten days.
But Gu Mian was keenly aware that this activity did not indicate an end time.
This is a bit strange. Previous large-scale events had a beginning and an end, but this event only has a start time and no end time.
The event preview below is also quite strange.
[Preview: This is a harbor without storms and the last refuge of mankind. After December 1st, the first batch of 'upside-down cities' will come to the earth. The 'upside-down cities' will exist forever. Welcome Everyone moves in】
Gu Mian grasped several key points.
"First Batch" "Permanent Existence"
In other words, there will be a second and third batch later, and those "upside-down cities" will remain forever and will not disappear.
"Doctor, this Hanging City event looks so similar to me...like the situation that store manager Jin mentioned when we called him that day." The fat man hurried over from the beauty area. .
It does look like it.
But store manager Jin said it was a curse from the earth.
Gu Mian originally thought that the earth was out of ambition and was going to madly curse the game world.
Unexpectedly, this curse spread to the real world.
However, looking at the event trailer, this hanging city does not look like a curse, but is actually very desirable.
The fat man next to me has now begun to yearn for it: "A harbor without storms, the last refuge of mankind. It sounds very good, and there is no danger anywhere."
It is indeed very good. .
“But if the Upside Down City is really a paradise, why does the earth put so many upside down cities in the game world? Is it to confuse the enemy with sugar-coated bullets?” Fatty didn’t quite understand, but soon he understood I decided not to embarrass my poor IQ and instead focus on the problem at hand.
"Doctor, do you think these are chin prostheses?" The fat man showed Gu Mian what he had in his hand, which he had found out from the beauty section with great difficulty.
Gu Mian looked at the hair pads and eye masks in the fat man's hands and fell silent.
The fat man went to the stationery area to look for it again. Although he didn’t understand the connection between stationery and prostheses, there must be a reason for the fat man to do this.
Until the three of them left the supermarket, Fatty could not find the chin prosthesis he wanted in the stationery section.
On the contrary, I found a pile of unopened red envelopes.
"The red envelope you gave me doctor last year was too simple. This year I specially bought a new pile with patterns painted on it with gold powder..." The fat man happily showed off the red envelope cover he bought to Gu Mian.
In other words, Fatty would use game coins to buy some random things. The humble game console that Xiaohong bought last time was also bought by Fatty.
In this current environment, other players may have difficulty eating, but Fatty is happy to buy this and that.
How to say that.
It seems like "the wine and meat of Zhumen smells bad, and there are frozen bones on the road"
No, there is a frozen corpse wandering not far from the supermarket door - not dead yet.
It was a man in his thirties or forties. The beard on his face had not been shaved for an unknown period of time. There were several layers of what appeared to be plastic sheets tied on his head to serve as a hat, and he wore a dirty scarf around his neck. , the clothes on my body are not clean at all. I probably haven’t changed my clothes for a long time.
Chu Changge also saw that person, and his eyes stopped on him for several seconds.
Since the death protection mechanism was turned off, they have seen fewer and fewer living people in the real world.
When the game first started, there were still many lights on in the city at night.
As time went by, those lights went out one by one.
Now their apartments are almost the only ones in the neighborhood that light up at night.
At this time, the fat man also saw the other side. He stopped waving the red envelope in his hand and said, "Doctor, don't you think that person looks familiar?"
Familiar?
Gu Mian took another serious look at the middle-aged man. He was not Renleshan, nor was he Old Liu of Shengli Hardware. But after Fatty said this, he did feel that this person looked familiar.
Soon Gu Mian found the corresponding face in his memory: "Mingming?"
"Yes, yes, yes," the fat man said quickly, "His name is hard to remember, doctor. When you said this, I remembered that he seemed to be called a bright but not dazzling man. "
There is also a girlfriend whose nickname is "Charming but unassuming woman"
They met them in the horror mountain dungeon, and Gu Mian was kind to them. Call them "Ming Liang" and "Xiao Zhang"
But now Xiao Zhang has gone somewhere, and Mingliang has changed. Gu Mian can hardly recognize him.
Noticing that someone was looking at him, Mingliang carefully turned his head to look in the direction of his gaze, and then saw three figures standing at the door of the supermarket.
He was stunned for several seconds before he spoke with some uncertainty: "Are you...the three from the Horror Villa?"
He recognized the three of Gu Mian, but not I'm sure.
"Yes." The fat man took a step forward to ask why he was here, but when Mingliang saw the fat man moving forward, he immediately jumped back vigilantly and ran away without looking back.
The fat man was a little confused: "What's wrong, am I scary?"
And he remembered that Mingliang was not like this before. In the horror mountain dungeon, he was a bit of a coquettish and expressive person. You can guess it just by looking at his nickname. Show a character or two.
Now it has completely changed, like a frightened bird.
Chu Changge on the side said quietly: "People will change."
After speaking, he paused for a while before continuing: "He has become more adaptable to this world."
Caution and vigilance are the basic rules for survival in today's world.
The fat man seemed to understand, and silently looked at the direction in which Liangming was escaping.
It was about to rain, and the gloomy weather made his chest feel a little tight.
"Doctor, let's go back quickly." The fat man walked towards the apartment carrying the things he bought, saying little the whole way.
Gu Mian found that Fatty was a little sentimental these days.
From time to time, he would surround Gu Mian and ask, "Doctor, do you think this global game will end?" "If the game world disappears, where will Brother Chu and the others go?"
When not asking questions He spent most of the time sitting in the yard downstairs with a gloomy look on his face, wondering what he was thinking. Even when a goose took the opportunity to poop on his clothes, he remained indifferent.
007, who had been busy for a month during this period, seemed to have accepted the reality and finally stopped looking for Renle Mountain.
007, who gave up searching for Renle Mountain, was not in a high mood and would be lost in thought in the yard from time to time.
So Gu Mian often saw two people with depressed expressions sitting in rows below. He felt that if this continued, this place would become a depression shelter.
He discussed with Chu Changge that he wanted to do something to stop the two of them from being so depressed. Chu Changge thought for a long time, and finally pulled out the disc Black Cat Sheriff at the bottom of the box and invited the two of them to watch it together.
Gu Mian looked at Chu Changge, who was playing the disc with an expressionless expression, and felt a little depressed.
December 1st is coming soon. This is the day when the "Upside Down City" event comes to the earth.
New changes have also appeared on the activity page of the homepage.
[Special event ‘The Hanging City’ is now open]
[Introduction: Are you still worried about food shortage? Are you still worried about the cold winter coming? The first batch of upside-down cities have been randomly put into the real world. When you stay in the upside-down cities, you will no longer have to worry about your livelihood, and you will no longer have to sleep due to the cold. Happy life is in the hanging city! 】
Wait a moment.
Who wrote this copy, and why does it look like a real estate advertisement?
"It's really like a shelter from the wind." The fat man's voice came from the side. Gu Mian turned to look at him. He was attracted by the activity and was about to become depressed now that he couldn't remember it.
“Similar to the trailer, there is no mention of any danger,” Fatty looked at the event page carefully, “Is this really a refuge created by the earth for humans?”
The first batch of hanging cities were randomly dropped into the real world.
Gu Mian came to the window and looked outside.
There are no changes in the surroundings, and there is no shadow of the hanging city.
It seems that this thing has not been released to them yet.
Although the event introduction extolled the Upside Down City, Gu Mian intuitively felt that such a good thing would not happen in the world.
Wang Po also knows how to sell melons and boast about herself. Gu Mian can't judge how much self-promotion is in this introduction.
He turned to look at Chu Changge.
Chu Changge also looked at Gu Mian: "If you have a chance, you can go and see the upside-down city in Paradise World."
Freeze to death Gu! Freeze to death! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
