Global Collapse

Chapter 738 [Thanks to the reader with the last four digits of their ID (2598) for their patronage!]

Gu Mian guessed that the person who created this copy must be a wicked capitalist who exploited him like a beast of burden, never letting him have a moment's rest.

Shortly after completing the "Stuffed-to-the-Death" mission and helping his teammates upstairs solve their problems, the building couldn't wait to assign him a new mission.

Fortunately, the corpses here were all quite understanding; they pretended not to see Gu Mian cheating, their eyes seemingly only for venting their anger.

Of course, they will cheat themselves when necessary.

Therefore, Gu Mian completed this new task with ease.

Upon seeing the visitor, the lady in room 607 was overjoyed and invited the player on that floor to play a fun "Pictionary" game. In the end, the player, with his quick wit and sharp eyes, accurately read and guessed the words that lady 607 had drawn on the drawing board. Congratulations! Congratulations!

[The cheerful Miss 607 will unlock the locations of five corpses for all players on the entire floor]

这五具尸体分别是108、202房间中的勒死鬼、406、502、807房间中的撑死鬼。

The types of corpses unlocked this time are quite limited: three who died from overeating and two who died from strangulation.

"Another task has been completed downstairs," the fat man said, slightly hunching his back as he looked at the large screen displaying the numbers. "The locations of a total of twenty corpses have been unlocked."

With three hours and twenty-one minutes remaining on the countdown, they have already located one-third of the bodies in the building.

At this rate, unlocking all the corpse locations before the countdown ends shouldn't be difficult.

In fact, their floor was already safe, and the remaining corpses could all be eliminated automatically.

“The newly unlocked corpse on the third and fourth floors is also in room 406.” Coco looked at the grid on the screen. “We were right. The people on the third and fourth floors moved all the corpses to 406 to guard against the people on the first and second floors.”

Hearing Coco's words, the fat man involuntarily straightened up, and the tearing sensation in his back made him gasp sharply: "According to what we just said, Brother Chu is on the third or fourth floor, and Ren Leshan is on the first or second floor. Now that Brother Chu is starting to guard against Ren Leshan down below, if the people on the first and second floors need any corpses and Brother Chu refuses to provide them, there's nothing they can do, right?"

“We can’t completely refuse to provide them.” 007 pondered, “The first and second floors need the third and fourth floors to provide the bodies for the connection, and the third and fourth floors may also need the first and second floors to provide the bodies. Although the third and fourth floors are adjacent to the fifth and sixth floors, there may be a situation where the fifth and sixth floors cannot provide the bodies needed by the third and fourth floors.”

“Look at the corpses displayed on the fifth and sixth floors now, there are only five types: burned to death, stuffed to death, drowned, and dismembered. We don’t know if there are strangled or headless corpses on the fifth and sixth floors. If the fifth and sixth floors don’t have these two types of corpses, but they happen to be what the third and fourth floors need, then the third and fourth floors will have to ask the first and second floors for help.” 007 nodded as he spoke, “I think this is highly likely.”

"...three strangled corpses, four burned corpses, three choked corpses, three drowned corpses, one dismembered corpse, and two headless corpses, and none of them have been eliminated." Chu Changge was carefully arranging the corpses in room 406 and moving similar corpses together.

Old Liu stood at the doorway, his heart pounding as he looked at the corpses scattered all over the floor inside, hesitant to step inside. "Young man," he said, "why did you bring all these corpses into one room? It'll be such a hassle to move them all over again when we're cleaning them up. We can clean up everything else ourselves, it's just these few pieces and two decapitated ones. We can just see if anyone upstairs or downstairs has any, and just move the corpses over there, right?"

On the fifth and sixth floors, Gu Mian could directly ask him for help, but he might not have what we needed. Chu Changge turned his head to look at the three extra corpses in the corner.

From the beginning until now, no headless corpses have appeared on Gu Mian's floor. Chu Changge suspects that there are no headless corpses there. If they want to make up the three, they probably have to cooperate with the first and second floors.

Gu Mian did manage to display one dismembered corpse, but it was used to help the seventh and eighth floors complete a three-part series. It's unknown whether Gu Mian has any other dismembered corpses.

If they're unlucky, they'll probably have to work with the floors below to eliminate both types of corpses they need.

Chu Changge didn't trust the people on the first and second floors. He looked at the two rows of squares on the screen that represented the first and second floors: "Renle Mountain..." "Brother, I think the people upstairs have moved all the corpses to the fourth floor. Before, when we moved those charred corpses, we wanted them to help us make up the three-person team, but they didn't care. I don't know if they didn't understand or if they didn't want to help." In room 203, Qi Tian Xiao Sheng stared at the screen with worry.

All the corpses displayed on the third and fourth floors were in room 406. It's obvious that the people upstairs moved all the corpses from the upper two floors there.

The other corpses on the first and second floors where they were located could be eliminated on their own, but two charred corpses needed help from upstairs to make a trio.

They will be out of danger once the two charred corpses are removed.

所以当403房间中的烧焦尸体被解锁时，仁乐山立刻将自己楼层的两具烧焦尸体前后放到103和203。203中的烧焦尸体可以在屏幕上看到，上面楼层发现他们将烧焦尸体拖到和403同一竖排的203中，应该能明白他们的意思。

But the people on the upper floors, upon noticing their actions, not only did not respond, but also moved all the bodies to the fourth floor, deliberately keeping them away from them.

Ren Leshan was initially puzzled. To eliminate all the corpses on his floor, he had to cooperate with the players on the adjacent floors, but the players on the third and fourth floors refused to cooperate and kept all the corpses away from them, as if they were guarding against thieves.

But he quickly realized: "The person upstairs is smart; they probably already know that the first and second floors are ours."

"Huh?" Qi Tian Xiao Sheng was a little confused. "There are no names written on each floor. How can the people above know that the first and second floors are ours? I don't even know who the people on the floors above are, and I don't know which floor Old Liu is on."

"It's my fault for being too hasty." Ren Leshan's face was somewhat grim. When he moved the two charred corpses, he had also considered the possibility that there might also be a charred corpse in room 303. If he put the charred corpse in room 203 first, it might directly form a three-in-a-row elimination, and then there would be no way to deal with the remaining charred corpse.

He took a deliberate approach, first placing the first charred corpse in room 103, then dragging the second one to room 203. If room 303 also contained a charred corpse, he could complete a four-in-a-row elimination.

But he overlooked something in the process.

"It's my fault for only thinking about myself back then and not considering the lives of others." Ren Leshan's glasses flickered. "And the higher-ups found out."

"They're really smart. They realized this immediately and started to be wary of us." He looked up at the ceiling, as if trying to see through the wall panels to the people above.

Who is that person up there?

That fat guy? No, he doesn't seem that smart.

That doctor? He seems more like someone who's physically strong and good at solving problems with his hands.

The image of 007 flashed through Ren Leshan's mind. Was it her? She was certainly different from her foolish father.

Qi Tian, ​​who was standing to the side, listened to Ren Leshan's words with a mixture of understanding and confusion: "Brother, what should we do next? It seems like the people above are not planning to help us anymore."

Are you planning to get rid of the extra corpses on the floors with just the help of the fifth and sixth floors? Ren Leshan's face darkened further, but the fifth and sixth floors may not have the corpses you need, and you might end up needing our help in the end.

Let's see who needs whom more.
