Global Collapse

Chapter 73 The Killing Game (Part 3) [Thanks to Xiaoyuyuyingmowu for the generous donation of 10,000 coins]

"This tracking camera seems pretty useful. I wonder if I can take it with me when I leave the dungeon." — This was Gu Mian's thought.

But his expression was interpreted differently by others.

At this moment, Mr. Killer was sitting in the live broadcast room. In front of him was a huge screen, which was divided into one hundred images. These images were clearly of one hundred "inferior people" who had been thrown into the forbidden zone.

Although Gu Mian didn't like being called a lower-class person, he couldn't do anything about it since people insisted on calling him that.

At this moment, Gu Mian's image was zoomed in and slid to the center. Perhaps because he was wearing a white coat, Mr. Killer paid close attention to him.

Mr. Killer laughed at the camera in front of him: "This participant is even wearing a white coat. Of course, I know that lower-class people are not qualified to be doctors. I guess he's from some poor, remote clinic."

"You can see that this participant is very calm, as if trying to show us that he is not afraid, but everyone knows that our 'forbidden zone' is an extremely dangerous place. Many participants have shown this expression before, but later... hehehehe."

"Let's first enjoy watching the others flee in panic. As for this doctor who isn't really a doctor, we'll appreciate him when he runs away without a care in the world."

"Ah, it seems some participants on the other side are in danger. Let's take a look..."

At this moment, the live stream is being broadcast simultaneously to the world.

Countless people were watching the actions of everyone in the forbidden area from their screens, occasionally letting out a few laughs.

Gu Mian only knew that he was on TV, but he couldn't interact with others like a news anchor, so he simply ignored the camera that was constantly hovering above his head.

The tracking device flew quite high, and even if Gu Mian wanted to secretly put it in her pocket, she was powerless to do so.

He glanced around; there were no other players nearby, and he didn't know where Chu Changge and the fat man were.

I don't know where my saw went. Of course, this variety show doesn't allow participants to bring weapons in.

But it doesn't matter whether he has a chainsaw or not now, he should be able to easily find weapons in his current environment.

This is an abandoned city—at least that's how it appears to Gu Mian.

He was standing in the middle of a road that had begun to crack due to long-term neglect, with lush green grass peeking out from the gaps.

There were two rows of two-story villas neatly lined up on both sides of the road, but now these two-story buildings are almost all about to collapse.

The window frames were all crooked and drooping, and Gu Mian could barely see what was inside in the moonlight.

He walked forward along the row of houses.

It is evident that these houses were once inhabited, as some houses still contain furniture, but it seems that people left in such a hurry that they were unable to take everything with them.

"It seems like the people in this city have to move away in a hurry because of something..." Gu Mian muttered to herself, "This seems to be similar to the plot of some horror movies."

He didn't intend to sneak into these houses unless he wanted to carry a large color TV or a large refrigerator as a weapon.

Although Gu Mian was able to move those things, his intuition told him that running around with them was not a wise choice.

He walked a little further and finally found some information that was slightly valuable.

A huge green sign stood by the roadside, seemingly depicting a map of the city with several lines of text on it.

Gu Mian leaned closer to the sign and discovered that the lines on it introduced the city—

"Welcome to the mining city, home to the largest coal mining base in the country, a true coal mining city... Speaking of which, doesn't this background look a bit like Silent Hill?"

Gu Mian then looked down.

Below these lines of text is a map of the entire city. At a glance, the two most prominent buildings are the 'Hospital' and the 'Coal Mine Base'. The hospital is located in the very center of the city and is called the Mining City Hospital.

As mentioned in the previous dungeon description, this is a world with advanced industry but relatively backward medical conditions, so the entire city only has one hospital.

The coal mine base is located in the upper right corner of the map.

If we follow the rule of north at the top, south at the bottom, west on the left, and east on the right, then this coal mine base should be located in the northeast of the city.

At the very bottom of the map, at the southernmost point, there is a small flag.

Gu Mian observed the flag for a while and concluded that its position should correspond to the location of the map sign in front of him, which was where he was currently standing.

"To obtain the 'Golden Barrel Redemption,' we must first find out where this thing is."

Perhaps feeling like she was on TV, Gu Mian's tone of voice had a hint of a horror game streamer.

He muttered to himself as he carefully examined the map, trying to find the words "Golden Tiger's Redemption" on it.

Of course, in the end he didn't find a single related word.

"Haha... I knew this thing wouldn't be so easy to find." Gu Mian said, glancing at the map again, still unwilling to give up.

He used to be a medical student, and his brain had been bombarded by dozens of professional books, so he has a good memory.

After looking at the map several times, he basically memorized the city's terrain.

"Alright," Gu Mian finally looked up from the map. "Now we can start our exploration. First, we should go to the police station and grab a couple of guns, or go to the supermarket and find a couple of machetes or something. I wonder what kind of dangers lurk in this restricted area..."

So far, he hasn't run into anyone. After all, this city is quite large, and it's difficult for a hundred people to meet when thrown into it. Besides, Gu Mian's luck is negative, so the chance of encountering a strong teammate is almost zero.

Although his luck value is negative, it doesn't affect the fact that other people have high luck values. Now the fat guy has met a player.

At this moment, the fat man was huddled in a corner of a dark library, next to a female player, who was about twenty years old. Her nickname was "Funeral Love Frozen," and you could tell from the nickname that she was no pushover.

If Gu Mian were there, she would definitely ask this female player what had poisoned her brain.

However, the fat man had no intention of commenting on the other players' nicknames. At this moment, he was whispering something to the person next to him: "Are you planning to hide here forever?"

“Of course,” Zang Ai Bingfeng replied in a very low voice, “I was practically dragged in here. I didn’t want to go into this hellhole at all.”

The fat man was silent for a moment: "I think I'll be leaving soon. By the way, have you met any other players since you came in?"

He didn't want to say Gu Mian's name directly, so he described her as, "A doctor, and a young man with glasses..."

Seemingly feeling that the description wasn't quite accurate enough, he continued, "That doctor is quite conspicuous... how should I put it, he's very eye-catching. Even in a very dark place, you can spot him at a glance..."

Zang Ai Bingfeng frowned: "Are you talking about a light bulb?"

The fat man said anxiously, "No, it's..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the two of them heard a creaking sound coming from one side of the library.

That was the sound of the door being pushed open.
