Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

After a brief moment of shock, Chen Xi immediately understood.

They even thought it was quite reasonable.

Because the Black Tower itself has the attribute of "dislocation".

No matter which angle you look at the Black Tower from on Earth, the distance between you and the Black Tower will always be the same.

Just like last time when the forbidden artifact, number 6, flew out of the Black Tower, Chen Xi and Yang Wei were facing each other directly.

They were both looking behind them, yet they saw the same thing.

That's what makes the Black Tower so amazing.

Looking back now, it seems quite reasonable that the places we two came from were so drastically different.

Sheung Shui it is.

Chen Xi muttered to himself.

Based on the current situation, cities not shrouded in black fog are still operating normally.

Such a sudden jump will not occur.

"What's going on?!"

Yang Wei had obviously seen the roadside signs as well. Even if he was that ignorant, he knew it was impossible to drive directly from Shangjing City to Shangshui City.

Putting aside the distance issue, the Tianshui service area we visited wasn't even on the Shangshui side; the entire route was reversed.

"puzzle."

Chen Xi spoke in a deep voice, recounting the summary he had just made.

"Now think of all the places shrouded in black mist as rectangular puzzle pieces."

"Then some of the positions were swapped."

"For example, the last location we just came from was a provincial highway. But what if that provincial highway was located in Yancheng, where I live?"

Yang Wei paused for a few seconds:

"So we'll just go straight back to Yancheng?"

"That's right."

"I don't know if it's accurate or not, but I feel that this way of understanding the puzzle is the closest to the correct answer."

Yang Wei nodded thoughtfully:

"Boss, the prerequisite you mentioned is a place shrouded in black mist. We shouldn't encounter that now, right?"

Nothing in this world is absolute.

"99.99% no way."

Hearing this, Yang Wei felt relieved. He was worried that if the two of them accidentally got separated, he would be in real trouble.

Then, looking around, he suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" as if he had just realized something:

"Boss, is that author based in Sheung Shui?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Yang Wei chuckled.

As the saying goes, "Since we're already here..."

"Since you're going to help me level up anyway, why not go and meet this author while you're at it?"

"He's quite strong, which is perfect for making up for our lack of combat power."

"Alright."

"And that's called a weakness."

It is 8:00 AM now.

Because it's summer, it gets dark around 20 PM, meaning it takes another 12 hours to trigger triple physical fitness.

During these 12 hours, Chen Xi will enter his own unique moment of weakness!

"Hehe, that's about right."

"Just as the two were preparing to set off."

Chen Xi's phone suddenly rang.

To be honest, very few people call him.

Classmates usually only send messages, while parents, not wanting to worry, use their illness as a way to ask them not to call.

"Yan Mingliang?"

Chen Xi looked at the name on her phone with some surprise.

"Could it be that he reached the level where he could awaken in less than a month?"

Chen Xi muttered to himself and then pressed the answer button.

Before he could even utter the word "feed," Yan Mingliang's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Something terrible has happened, Chen Xi."

"Yancheng has changed dramatically!"

"change of weather?"

"Please explain in more detail what you mean."

Although a city is a combination of steel and concrete, Yancheng is, after all, Chen Xi's birthplace, so he naturally has a certain affection for it.

"Eternal Night!"

"Yancheng was plunged into eternal darkness. At first, I didn't pay much attention, thinking it was just an unusual weather that day. After all, I had heard of such things before."

"Afterwards, I went into seclusion to hone my mental power, and now I have finally reached the awakening standard, but the sky is still dark."

"But that's not the scariest part..."

Yan Mingliang's voice trembled slightly as he said this:

"All the information is normal, just like before, without any difference."

"No one is discussing the darkness, and there's been no news coverage of it."

"It's just like..."

"Just like when Wang Qingqing was swallowed by the Black Tower."

Chen Xi suddenly chimed in.

"Yes, yes."

Yan Mingliang carefully uttered two "yes"s, as if afraid that a triple affirmation would express a denial.

"Just like back then, the whole world has forgotten her, except for me."

"The situation is, the whole world is blind, except for me!"

Yancheng has been gradually swallowed up!

Chen Xi didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

He thought it would take at least a few years, so how long has it been since he left?

After a moment of silence, Chen Xi immediately spoke:

"I need to ask you for a favor right now. Please contact my parents immediately, and then bring your parents and my parents with you to Sheung Shui by high-speed rail!"

Chen Xi confirmed that ordinary people can cross the black mist to reach another city that has not yet been devoured by the Black Tower.

As for Yang Wei, he was raised by his grandmother. His parents abandoned him, and his grandmother had also passed away.

As for transportation, Chen Xi felt that high-speed rail was safer.

"Now?"

"What kind of strange request is this? Are you going there for tourism?"

"And given the situation, how can the high-speed rail still operate?"

Chen Xi knew immediately that Yan Mingliang had never left the house.

It's even possible that after returning home that day, he would shut himself in his room to practice his mental powers.

He then briefly explained the current situation outside and the necessary precautions.

......

......

"So, is the world about to end?"

"That interpretation is acceptable."

Chen Xi did not deny this answer. Even if everyone else entered the Black Tower, would that mean success?

If this were to actually happen, it would mean the world would be completely swallowed up by the Black Tower, and calling it the end of the world wouldn't be wrong at all.

"Fine, I'll go to your parents' company right now and forcibly carry them onto the high-speed train."

"As for my parents, they are often away on business trips, and they have long been living their own lives. I am so sensible that I don't want to bother them."

Yan Mingliang was decisive and agreed immediately.

In this state of gradual encroachment, the people inside will act like puppets on strings, completely unaware of Yan Mingliang's existence.

Naturally, no one could resist his actions.

Chen Xi had considered going to pick up his parents himself, but judging from the situation in the black fog, the "devouring" was a large-scale engulfment!

It might not be a collective disappearance, but Chen Xi couldn't guarantee that his parents would be the next to be swallowed up, so he needed Yan Mingliang to act immediately.

The only danger of this move is encountering fake humans, and the probability of encountering them is quite high with this map size, but Chen Xi has already mentioned this in the precautions.

However, Yan Mingliang is currently only in the awakened state and is unlikely to become the target of the fake human unless the other party is bloodthirsty. But as of now, Chen Xi has not encountered such a fake human.

Almost all fake people have very clear objectives, and they won't even target ordinary people.

They all seemed like gentlemen of great principle.

However, this doesn't mean they don't exist; in fact, it's safe to say they definitely exist, it's just that Chen Xi has only seen a relatively small number of fake people so far.

But as one city is gradually eroded, the pseudo-people will inevitably concentrate in the other two cities.

It's not that fake humans don't like staying in the black fog, but that extraordinary beings prefer to stay in the city!

"Okay, but because of the distance, my friend and I probably won't be able to come pick you up."

"It's okay, we'll let you know when we get there."

"According to you, Sheung Shui is normal."

"OK, see you later."

The phone hangs up.

Chen Xi looked at the three characters "Yan Mingliang" on WeChat and felt a little emotional.

Unexpectedly, the person who would end up fighting alongside him in this rocket class was Yan Mingliang!

People who don't usually communicate inexplicably come together due to various events.

Life is full of uncertainties!

Just then.

Chen Xi's WeChat phone rang again.

"Boss, you're quite busy."

"I posted this on my WeChat Moments and no one has liked it for an hour."

Chen Xi did not answer. His generation was used to communicating in writing, and they would only call if they couldn't find a place to meet.

Some couples have never even made a single phone call from the time they met until they got married and had children.

At that moment, two words were clearly displayed on the phone.

author!
