Doomsday survival game? I became a boss by picking up trash

Chapter 266

After so long in the capital, the egg in Bai Tu City still hasn't hatched.

However, the atmosphere in Bai Tu City has changed; there is now a strong sense of the past.

He looks like Song Yu in his youth.

Skyscrapers have almost disappeared, replaced by quaint, low-rise houses. Cars are rarely seen on the streets anymore; bicycles and motorcycles are everywhere.

Humans no longer need to hide inside bases; they can walk in the sunlight again.

However, the price to pay for this "freedom" will probably not be low.

Song Yu and Xiao Hei are both very independent people, and the emotional monsters that appeared because of them do not allow other emotional monsters to encroach on their territory.

Apart from the one emotional monster in the city center, there are no other emotional monsters to be seen in Bai Tu City.

Song Yu walked through Bai Tu City, his expression not very pleasant.

The current Bai Tu City is almost exactly the same as the Bai Tu City in her memory. She feels nostalgic, but she doesn't like it.

Passing by her old school, it was right at the end of get out of class time, and students were rushing out of the school in a rush. There were many snack stalls at the school gate.

Deep-fried and grilled foods, instant milk tea, maltose...

In a daze, she seemed to see several familiar figures.

She, Chen Jingyao, and her other friends who grew up together.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed that they weren't them, but rather several completely unfamiliar faces.

Song Yu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Although she herself didn't feel anything at the moment, but...

The past was truly addictive, and it happened without us even realizing it.

Bai Tu City may seem to have returned to normal, but in reality, it's a quagmire where those who try to drag themselves in will only sink deeper.

To live a normal life in Bai Tu City, the price is to lose oneself and even one's soul.

The residents of Bai Tu City are now completely following the emotional monster's instructions, cycling through certain time periods.

Song Yu took out a few banknotes from his pocket and walked to a stall selling instant milk tea, wanting to buy a blueberry flavor.

"Little sister, what kind of money is this? I've never seen it before."

The old lady selling milk tea looked at the money Song Yu took out with a puzzled expression. Was this young lady holding counterfeit money?

How can someone so young do something like this?

The old woman was confused.

"..."

Song Yu glanced silently at the old woman, then at the money the others had taken out.

It's a banknote I've never seen before, but the portrait on the ten-yuan note looks somewhat familiar.

"Xiaoyu, that looks like you."

Xiao Hei said in a low voice.

"I also think that the five-dollar and one-dollar ones look like you."

We haven't seen any for 20, 50, or 100 yet.

However, judging from this, the 20 yuan note should still belong to her, while the 50 or 100 yuan note might be her grandmother's.

She really didn't have that money.

Song Yu remained expressionless and pretended to take a handful of chocolates out of his pocket.

"Grandma, can I trade you chocolate?"

Wow!! So much chocolate! Sister, I'll trade with you! I'll trade with you!

When the children saw the chocolates Song Yu took out, they all swarmed around her.

During Song Yu's childhood, chocolate was still a rare commodity.

Song Yu doesn't actually have much chocolate space, but she can get a bunch whenever she wants.

Seeing these kids is just like seeing her before; they're just as annoying.

Although time may filter memories, in reality, most adults were quite annoying to adults when they were young.

Song Yu was very self-aware.

"No."

Song Yu put on a stern face and spoke to them fiercely. Xiao Hei was beside her; that was enough to scare the children.

Sure enough, under Xiao Hei's fierce gaze, all the children retreated.

Song Yu successfully traded a handful of chocolates for two cups of milk tea and a bunch of snacks.

She couldn't remember which instance she got this chocolate from, but it tasted great, and you could tell it was expensive just by tasting it.

Amidst the envious gazes of the primary and secondary school students, Song Yu and Xiao Hei left the school gate triumphantly.

At this time of day, there are many roadside stalls, offering cold noodles, braised dishes, stir-fries, soups, and even boxed meals.

Song Yu and Xiao Hei walked and bought things, their bellies bulging with food.

As for where the money to buy these things came from, Song Yu went to a gold shop on the roadside and sold some gold produced from dungeons.

She didn't want to challenge the limits of this city's emotional monsters, so it was best not to use counterfeit money.

If I end up in some kind of prison, that would be really bad.

Walking on the street at dusk, the evening breeze was very comfortable.

There were many people taking a walk on the street: parents with children, couples walking together, and friends strolling in groups.

Song Yu's teenage years coincided with the period of her country's economic boom, a time when many opportunities arose and many influential figures emerged.

Their city is alright; there aren't any major security issues.

While eating an ice pop, Song Yu received a call from Tang Hong.

"Song Yu, are you in Bai Tu City right now?"

It was as if Tang Hong had installed a surveillance camera on Song Yu, knowing her whereabouts immediately.

In reality, some players saw Song Yu notifying the national team.

"Um, is there something you need?"

Song Yu asked lazily, his hands in his pockets.

She just bought a set of beach shorts and a tank top at the night market, along with flip-flops, and is going to the beach soon.

"I wanted to ask you about the situation in Baitu City."

Tang Hong said directly.

Song Yu is a BOSS-level player; she sees problems more accurately than other players.

Tang Hong wanted to ask Song Yu's opinion. If Song Yu thought Bai Tu City was acceptable, she planned to relocate residents to live in Bai Tu City.

The capital and Marriott City... are both unsuitable for human habitation.

The Tower of Legal Rectification has just been destroyed, so they still have a buffer period.

"Very livable, but also deadly."

Song Yu bit the popsicle in his mouth and mumbled something indistinctly.

“Once ordinary people enter, they can forget about leaving. Their souls will be assimilated by the city, completely sinking into this place, no longer remembering anything about the future, only having memories of living in Bai Tu City.”

"Their memories and cognition only stay within a specific time period."

"If you think it's acceptable, then let them move in."

Song Yu replied indifferently.

Whether they choose a conscious death or physical survival, let them choose for themselves.

"……okay, I get it."

Tang Hong took a deep breath. It seemed that Bai Tu City was not a suitable place either.

After hanging up the phone, Song Yu pouted at Xiao Hei.

"I knew they wouldn't abandon us."

“If they really didn’t care, then they wouldn’t be themselves.”

Xiao Hei's expression remained indifferent; it understood those people's mentality to some extent.

I always think, "I'll kill this monster and then I'll leave it to them," then "I'll settle them down and then I'll leave them to them," and then "I'll see they're doing well and then I'll leave them to them."

However, the monster of emotions can never be eliminated.

This cycle is endless and can never end.
