"Hello?" Wen Xiaotong's voice echoed in the empty cave.

"Hey? You little brat, are you still alive? We solved the anchor point you mentioned, how are you going to rescue us?"

"Hey?"

"What's the matter?"

After several calls failed to get a response, everyone realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Oh no, I hope nothing happens to this guy!" Wen Xiaotong was a little panicked.

"I'm afraid so."

The detective's eyes darkened.

The scene where Luo Ziyang was discovered by the man in black reappeared in everyone's mind.

Everyone calmed down completely, and their faces became solemn.

if it is like this,

Then their situation is still not optimistic.

No one can save them from this world.

Once the anchor point is destroyed, the world will begin to collapse due to the loss of support.

Everyone has keenly noticed that "cracks" have appeared in the dark corners. They are signs that the world is beginning to collapse. Perhaps in a short time, these cracks will expand like a swarm of locusts, devouring everything in sight.

The virus is wantonly eroding the underlying code and constantly multiplying itself, while the gourmet controls the army of players and viruses, searching for them all over the world...

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts were once again filled with gloom.

"Fuck! I'm so annoyed!"

Wen Xiaotong kicked a stone out angrily, cursing under his breath.

The stone fell all the way down and landed next to a raised stone slab. After everyone got closer and lifted up the stone slab, they found a lot of supplies for survival under the stone slab. The body of a player was lying next to the stone slab. It seemed that he had mistakenly entered this place while looking for them.

The player was already dead.

There is a natural shelter under the stone slab. When looking from above, you can't find anything unusual here, so you can avoid the search of those players.

After thinking for a moment, everyone decided to settle down in this place for a while, and think about the next plan and what else they could do.

One day passed in the blink of an eye and it was the afternoon of the next day.

On top of the ruins, a player kicked a stone wall in annoyance and threw the torch in his hand towards a house.

After a while, the house also caught fire. Looking around, the whole town was engulfed in fire. The curling flames scorched and distorted the air. Monsters were running around with their bodies on fire. Their screams were like the background sound of this hellish scene.

After a dozen players worked together to clear out the monsters, the entire town fell into complete silence except for the crackling sound of burning.

Their figures twisted and danced in the flames, like hideous demons.

"What the hell, where did these damn pollution monsters come from? How can there be so many monsters in this broken town!"

"Haha, we can't find them here either. Where did they go? If we go further out, we'll reach the border of London. They can't be hiding there, right?"

"Hehehe, where else could it be?! How many times have we searched the area around London?"

"That gourmet is really crazy!! He really wants all of us to pay for his crazy idea. If we can't find them, we will all die, all die!!"

One player collapsed, his eyes bloodshot.

At this moment, he noticed a monster that was still struggling to crawl. With bloodshot eyes, he rushed forward and stomped on the monster's head, crushing it with one foot. He felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"Damn it, damn it!! Can't they just let us catch them and report to us! Once I catch them, I will tear them into pieces with my own hands!!"

"call......"

Under long-term repression, these players' original disguises were torn off one after another, and they vented their pure malice to the outside world.

Not long after, it began to rain heavily, extinguishing the fire in the town. A devastated ruin appeared before everyone's eyes.

A player climbed out from the bottom of the cave, scratching his hair, and shook his head as he looked at everyone:

"I couldn't find the bottom, and there were twisted monsters everywhere. I don't know if you noticed, but the sky was getting darker and darker, as if something big was about to happen."

"Okay, we've finished searching this town, let's go to the next place. Something big is going to happen. I just know that if we can't find them, we're all going to die!"

"I want to see where they can hide. That madman Gourmet has sent hundreds of thousands of viruses to surround the three circles outside London. Not even a mosquito can escape."

"Continue to expand the search area toward the edge!"

The players' voices gradually faded away, and at this moment, a young man walked out of an abandoned house with his hands in his pockets:

"Sure enough, it's just as I thought."

"I can't go any further..."

Soon the detective returned to where everyone was hiding.

I saw everyone huddled under the stone slabs, looking a little dusty and dirty.

"What happened?" Wen Xiaotong asked.

"The gourmet has hundreds of thousands of virus troops under his command, surrounding the three outer circles completely."

"The situation is not optimistic..."

The faces of the three girls all looked a little gloomy.

There was no news from the outside world, and they seemed to be completely abandoned in this virtual world.

"It's not a good idea to drag it on here, look over there."

The detective suddenly spoke, pointing to the sky in the distance.

I saw several cracks appearing at the edge of the sky.

This means that the great collapse of this world is about to begin.

Perhaps we don’t even have to wait until the gourmet’s scheduled time two days later. The world will begin to collapse and disintegrate on its own because it has lost its anchor.

By then they will all be lost in the flood of data.

"So what should we do next? Continue to escape to that so-called Birmingham? Find that illusory singularity and leave here?"

"But even our car is broken, how can we run?"

"Do not."

The detective's eyes were extremely determined, as if he had been prepared for it. He spread a pile of weapons on the table, including grenades, assault rifles, pistols, and even sniper rifles and rocket launchers.

Everyone's pupils were shocked.

"Holy crap, Howard, where did you get these from??"

The detective just rested his hands on the table, his eyes fierce.

"Aren't they looking for us so closely? The three outer circles are all their people. Doesn't this mean that there aren't many viruses in London?"

"In this case, we might as well do the opposite."

"Go kill that gourmet."

Chapter 425 The Only Genius in the Stalled Era

Hearing this almost crazy plan, everyone fell silent.

But soon, everyone's eyes became firm, and they looked at each other and nodded.

They have no way out.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone returned to London in the dark, found a high place to observe the surrounding environment, and prepared for the subsequent plan.

The gourmets will pass through the square in the afternoon, and there will be crowds of people there. They need to create chaos and then find a way to get rid of the guy in the chaos.

The detective used a telescope to observe the surroundings, and after confirming that the field of vision was clear, he looked at the deer:

"After all, the gourmet is just an ordinary person in the game. His body cannot withstand the power of bullets. After I complete the first sniper shot, if I fail to kill him, the virus bodyguards around him will definitely swarm over. I will lead them away, and it will be up to you to approach him and complete the second assassination."

"Yeah." Senlu nodded.

"Vanessa, I'll leave the creation of chaos to you."

"I know, I know."

The detective looked at everyone, and finally sighed and expressed his inner worries:

"I'm afraid that guy had anticipated all this and deliberately released the news to lure you into a trap."

This was also what Li Anxin was worried about along the way. She always had a bad feeling in her heart.

Even though I knew it was dangerous, I had no choice but to go ahead with it.

As mentioned before, they have no way out.

Looking at the quiet city of London under the night sky, the evening breeze blowing past the ears calms everyone's anxious hearts.

Seeing the young man looking down at the city, wondering what he was thinking, Wen Xiaotong yawned and found a place to sit down.

The wind blew the girl's golden hair, which was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and curled it slightly on her shoulders. Under the hair on her forehead, the girl's clear and bright eyes reflected the stopped city.

The girl gently took off her coat and rolled it around her waist, hugged her legs, tilted her head slightly, and rested her head on her knees. There seemed to be many emotions flowing in her lively eyes.

The girl is quirky, like a cheerful bird.

It turns out that this little bird that always chirps has its moments of silence.

"Howard." The girl suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong Vanessa?"

"What was your original name?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I'm just curious. If you don't want to talk about it, forget it."

"Then don't talk about it."

"Hey hey hey, why don't you follow the routine..." The blonde girl didn't expect the young man to answer like this. Just when she was about to get angry, the young man continued to speak.

"Wen Mingyu."

"No, you are Chinese. Why did you pretend to be a foreigner in front of me at the beginning?!"

"When you're out and about, it's better to have another identity if you can. Who knows what kind of trouble you might get into one day." The detective shrugged.

"So you trust me so much?"

"No, what if this name is also fake? Maybe I just made it up."

Wen Xiaotong felt that her IQ was humiliated.

"No, this world mass-produces geniuses, right? First it was Xiao Anxin and now it's you. I wish my brain could work as well as yours."

"Genius?"

The girl's words brought back countless memories for the young man.

There is no such thing as childhood in his memory.

Since he was born, he has lived in a pure white little house. In that room there are countless children like him. They don’t know when their memory began, they only know that they came here since they first opened their eyes.

Adults call them "geniuses" and use strict requirements on them in the way they cultivate geniuses.

Everyone wears the same white uniform, wakes up on time every day, and listens to the brainwashing speeches of adults, who say that they will become outstanding scientists, economists, engineers, biologists, and a series of other professions in the future, and that they will make significant contributions to mankind.

They are taught too early about knowledge that normal people would only touch upon in high school or even college, and are forced to understand it. After they have learned these basic knowledge thoroughly, they are asked to learn things that ordinary people will never be able to touch in their entire lives.

They are not allowed to have entertainment, not allowed to have their own thoughts, and have no expression on their faces except calm. Every child in the white house is like an emotionless monster.

But he is an outlier.

At least he is an outlier among these kids.

He could feel the "emotions", perhaps it started from an accidental throbbing, or perhaps it was the woman who was responsible for taking care of his daily life always nagging something in his ear, either complaining or something else.

He gradually became different from those children and he developed feelings for this white room.

In fact, he is very timid.

They are afraid of failure and deliberately avoid those impromptu tests. They are afraid of losing to other children in physical functions and being eliminated.
