Global Collapse

Chapter 643 Happy New Year, Happy New Year

An eerie alarm sounded throughout the entire house.

Xiao Qiao immediately became excited: "That's the voice! I've heard it countless times."

It's rare to see you so excited amidst such an eerie alarm.

The sound continued unabated. Gu Mian looked at the radio on the table and said, "Does this kind of sound often come from your world?"

Xiao Qiao pondered carefully: "It happens regularly. Every so often, this sound will ring out... Each time it lasts for about three minutes. Whenever the sound rings out, the ghosts become exceptionally terrifying, and they only return to normal when the sound stops..."

Judging from how hard she was trying to think, she had probably already said everything she was thinking.

The settings Xiao Qiao mentioned were very similar to the horror movie Silent Hill that Gu Mian had watched.

Does Ragnarok also have an inner and outer world?
Also, can this radio actually play the sounds of the Seventh World in real time?
Is it connected to the Seventh World?

Just as Gu Mian was pondering this, the alarm suddenly stopped.

He frowned slightly. Xiao Qiao said that each alarm would last for three minutes, but it had only been less than two minutes before the sound stopped.

Xiao Qiao, not quite understanding, patted the radio on the table, almost smashing the already dilapidated old object to pieces.

Listening to the radio emitting a weak sound, Xiao Qiao silently withdrew her hand: "No, something's not right... The alarm usually only goes off once every few days, but I just heard it go off this morning..."

Gu Mian guessed that she had just thought of the interval between alarm sounds.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so persistent in watching the radio just now.

"So it's not broadcasting in real time?" Gu Mian bent down to look at the machine on the table that Xiao Qiao had almost smashed to pieces.

Theoretically, radios in the Seventh World only ring every few days, but the radios ring in the morning and then again at noon, and the sound lasts for more than three minutes.

Chu Changge, standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and said, "I guess this signal from the Seventh World is affected by dimensions. Their time is different from ours, similar to 'a day in heaven is a year on earth.' It's also possible that the time in the Seventh World is completely disordered, and what we hear every time is a sound coming from a chaotic time."

possible.

"Speaking of which," Gu Mian thought of the voice she had heard earlier, "could that person who claimed to be the first guardian have also been the one who broadcast during Ragnarok?"

But Xiao Qiao clearly stated that there were no living people in her world.

If there really isn't a single living person in that world, then is it a broadcast from a ghost?

“This radio has always been with you,” Chu Changge said, looking at Gu Mian. “Didn’t you hear any strange noises in it before?”

"I used to listen to this before the global game started, but back then the radio could receive many channels, and it was hard to find a specific channel among them... Thinking about it carefully, I don't think I heard any strange channels before the game started. The first time I heard a strange channel was shortly after the game started, when you were all here."

It was the time I heard "Guardian Number One".

“Everyone is dead,” Xiao Qiao, who was squatting by the table, suddenly spoke up. “My world was almost destroyed long ago; there is no one alive.”

Guardian Number One, survivors, alarm sounds...

These things clearly do not belong to the same world.

Could this radio be connected to other worlds?

Gu Mian couldn't quite understand it.

Just then, a hissing sound suddenly came from the radio, followed by a human voice—

"goodbye……"

It was a woman's voice.

She seemed to be on the verge of death, yet she mustered her last breath to say goodbye to them.

Her voice was low and hoarse, like the creaking sound of an old, dilapidated wooden door being opened, making one's ears ache.

But Gu Mian felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

The voice had changed tone and was unrecognizable; he felt as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Before the woman could finish speaking, the piercing alarm sounded again, but this time it only lasted for ten seconds before stopping abruptly, and the radio was filled with static again.

Xiao Qiao suddenly stood up.

Her expression was a little confused.

The alarm just now confirmed that Ragnarok was on the other side, but who was that woman? Are there really any survivors in that world that is on the verge of destruction?
To whom was that "goodbye" said?

Did she know that someone could hear this farewell on the radio? "Quick," Gu Mian suddenly grabbed Xiao Qiao, "say 'goodbye' to me quickly."

Xiao Qiao stared blankly at Gu Mian, then, as if bewitched, stammered, "Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye..."

"Alright, I know it's not you." Gu Mian tossed her aside with disdain. Xiao Qiao wouldn't say goodbye in that clever tone.

Feeling a little wronged after being left aside, Xiao Qiao stood up and thought for a while before plopping down on the sofa and quietly moving towards Gu Mian's seat.

Chu Changge's voice rang out from the side: "I remember that person who called herself Guardian Number One was also a woman, wasn't she?"

That's right.

Gu Mian recalled.

It's a standard female voice.

The one who said goodbye earlier was not the same one.

Are there still so many living people in the Seventh World?
The atmosphere here is thick with suspense and mystery, while the scene over there is quite different for the fat guy.

He hummed a song as he took a bag of chicken wings from the refrigerator, skewered them with the metal skewers he had prepared beforehand, and his joy was palpable.

If Gu Mian's side is a suspenseful and eerie channel, then Fatty's side is a cheerful urban life channel.

Gu Mian silently turned his head away. If he didn't know this person's background, he would have suspected that this person had transmigrated from another category.

Noticing that everyone was looking at him, the fat man assumed they were looking forward to dinner that night.

He proudly raised his head, brandishing the metal skewer in his hand: "I bought lamb, beef, chicken wings, enoki mushrooms, pig's trotters, pig's heart, crab sticks, green peppers, crayfish..."

Hearing the fat man rattle off a list of ingredients, Gu Mian actually felt a bit hungry.

The fat man happily prepared the ingredients all afternoon, while Gu Mian and the others stared at the radio all afternoon.

Who knew this thing was an intermittent zombie? It would revive briefly and then act as if it were dead again, never making a sound again.

It didn't make a sound until the fat man set up the grill in the backyard and started barbecuing that evening.

The enticing aroma of barbecue wafted into Gu Mian's nose.

He went to the window and looked down.

The fat man was grilling several skewers of beef tendon in the yard. He picked up some cumin powder and sprinkled it on top, making the aroma even stronger.

Barbecues are more fun when there are lots of people.

Coco and Liu Ruyan were already seated at the table prepared by Fatty, and even Xiao Hong and the short green guy were brought in by Fatty to create a lively atmosphere. The good-for-nothing Xiao Qiao, upon smelling the aroma, instantly forgot her hometown and almost jumped off the building into the courtyard.

At this moment, the fat man looked up and saw Gu Mian and Xiao Qiao by the window.

He held up the skewers in his hand: "Doctor, come down quickly, I've almost finished grilling a batch."

Xiao Qiao by the window seemed ready to jump, but fearing she might actually do so, Gu Mian turned back, picked up the radio from the table, and said to Chu Changge and the other person, "Go down first."

Finally, Gu Mian brought the radio into the courtyard.

He found a seat, sat down, and placed the radio in front of him.

Just then, the fat man brought out a large bowl of spicy crayfish. He looked at the people gathered around the table, enjoying themselves immensely, and felt that he had made a great contribution to the harmony of the doctor's harem.

Just as the fat man was filled with relief, the radio in front of Gu Mian suddenly started playing again.

This time the voice was perfectly normal; the other person's tone was clear and full of emotion. Gu Mian immediately recognized that it was the same person who had said goodbye earlier.

"anyone there?"

He heard those three words coming from the radio.

At the same time, everyone at the table stopped what they were doing.

They all recognized the voice.

It is 007.

Gugu would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year in advance!

I've updated more in the last few days than I did in the entire previous year! (I'm feeling a bit smug)
