Chapter 300 Disaster of Disorder

When the piercing sound of the whistle echoed throughout the city, Youxi and the other two were having dinner in a half-collapsed building.

They had a relatively peaceful day.

The area ravaged by the black hole can only be described as horrible. Fortunately, the ground will not collapse. This is probably the only thing to be thankful for in this disaster.

Otherwise, the collapse of this area will affect a long section of the entire West 320 mid-air building.

At the same time, at a height of 320 meters from West 320, the collapse of the ground and the fall of building debris will cause a double disaster to the mid-air area and the ground area at other intersections below.

Today, 70% of the buildings in this area are completely destroyed and collapsed, but most of the debris of the collapsed ruins fell into the black hole.

For a whole day, rescuers, with a large number of robot guards, have been saving people in the remaining ruins.

Fortunately, biomedical technology is advanced here, and as long as the survivors have a breath left and can get timely treatment, there is always a way to keep them alive.

Robotic arms, legs, internal organs... Even if the whole lower body is swallowed by the black hole like before, as long as the person can get immediate treatment at that time, there is an 80% chance of survival.

The problem is that when the black hole invades, the blue light will block the outside world, and no one can hold on until the blue light disappears with such serious injuries.

The destruction of buildings has led to damage to water pipes and circuits. In order to avoid more accidental explosions and not affect rescue operations, the authorities have shut down all water, gas, and circuit facilities in the area.

When the rescuers were busy in the area, they also saw some people who originally lived outside the blue light area driving to the vicinity with their families, and then walking into the area that had been invaded by the black hole. Some of them even brought airbag tents and several backpacks. It was obvious that they planned to live in this ruined area temporarily.

The rescuers were unable to stop them and quickly informed their superiors. The superiors sent a new robot team to set up cordons at both ends of the area to stop these people. At the same time, they said that a team of experts had been established and would soon find a way to deal with it.

But obviously, these words and the warning fences are useless. Those who leave their homes and come to the black hole attack zone temporarily have thought about it and made all the psychological preparations.

In the end, the warning team caused a large number of people to gather and protest, and even triggered a public opinion frenzy on the Internet, questioning the president why the authorities still want to prevent people from saving themselves in this situation?

Everyone just wants to give themselves and their families more chances to survive, so why not let them enter the black hole attack zone?

The authorities are already worried enough, not to mention that they themselves cannot refute the views of the public. They do not approve of people entering the blue light area to avoid disasters because they believe that this area is not 100% safe. But the current situation is the same in other areas. There is no place that is absolutely safe.

In the end, the authorities compromised and removed the guardrails...

Youxi used the drone to see the chaos and noise around her. She recalled the drone and put it away. When she turned around, she was almost startled by the square iron-gray head that was above her shoulder. She

subconsciously took a step back, and then she remembered that she had forgotten Xiyuan's new image again...

The big square iron head made a familiar voice: "Be careful!"

She knew what the other party was reminding her. She was standing on the edge of the damaged wall of the building at this moment. If she took two steps back, she would fall outside, but this was the third floor. If she fell down, she would at most break her skin - it is very likely that her skin would not even be broken.

But the next moment, her body, which was slightly leaning back, was grabbed from behind.

She turned around, and Xing Min, who was holding her waist, led her into the building while shaking his head at her in disapproval: "Aren't you used to it yet?"

You Xi looked at the two-meter-tall robot in front of her again. It's not that easy to get used to it...

When he became a "wolf-headed man" before, he still had a human body. This time, he is really not a human from head to toe.

Probably because Xi Yuan's identity this time is a truck driver, he does not need to directly contact customers, and he has no requirements for appearance, so he does not have a piece of artificial skin on his body, only a bare and solid metal skeleton.

As for the head, only the rough outline of the face was made, with two electronic eyes, a nose that was equivalent to nothing, and a mouth that was a slit of iron...

At this moment, the pair of red electronic eyes like light bulbs were staring at her motionlessly, as if they were trying to make an aggrieved expression, which suddenly reminded her of a line from a long-ago song: eyes staring like copper bells...

You Xi Fu'e: ...

The building they chose to temporarily live in was close to the edge of the glass fence, because outside the fence was a hanging area - which was equivalent to a dead end, and not many people fled here at the time. This

small building was not conspicuous in the entire commercial district nearby, located in a corner, and was originally a small coffee shop. Probably because no one was inside in the middle of the night, the black hole only glanced at it and left.

The small building only has three floors, and the damaged wall was not the main load-bearing wall, so the house did not collapse. The corridor outside the eaves on the first and second floors was missing, and part of the glass wall on one side of the third floor was missing, but the rest was still intact .

The cafe is not big, and half of the third floor is a storage room. They left the tables and chairs they needed, stacked the other tables and chairs and moved them away, leaving the end near the damaged glass wall empty.

The rest of the time was spent watching and waiting.

The situation at this site was different from the past. Everything was normal in places where no disasters had occurred, and the areas where disasters had occurred were like a wasteland city. Fortunately, they had no shortage of water, electricity, and food, especially since Youxi had just replenished supplies the day before and filled up all 450 cubic meters.

In the afternoon, when the rescue work was gradually coming to an end and a large number of robots evacuated the area, in addition to some people in the original area who were lucky enough to escape the black hole and chose to stay, more people moved to this damaged area.

This group of people was more prepared than the ones who moved earlier. They went to the supermarket to buy a lot of portable water supplies. Some even brought small robot cars specially used for carrying heavy loads. It seemed that they were determined to stay here for a while.

But in Youxi's view, everything is unstable at the moment. No one knows where the blue light will appear next time. No matter how well prepared you are now, once the blue light covers it, it will be gone in an instant.

In the evening, the aroma of food wafted from the remaining buildings in the ruins.

Youxi was neither here nor there, she took out seven or eight newly bought canned dishes and a kind of pink grape-sized fruit that she had never seen before, ready for dinner.

But when she was about to pass the chopsticks to Xiyuan, the latter rubbed his big and handsome head against her shoulder with grievance: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You knew I couldn't eat it now..."

Youxi staggered and almost hit the coffee table in front of her.

Big Square Ironhead looked innocent—if that face could express innocence: "...I, I didn't use any force."

Youxi had a headache and handed the chopsticks to Xingmin: "Forget it, you can't eat, just sit aside and watch."

Xiyuan: ...

But only half of this dinner was eaten.

The next second after hearing the sound of the whistle, the three of them stood up at the same time, rushed to the broken glass wall, jumped down directly, and then ran towards the glass fence not far away.

The wind was very strong at night, and the ground area covered by blue light was far away from them. It was blocked by several layers of mid-air areas in the middle, and they could only vaguely see a general outline, so they didn't know that the black hole that should have appeared in the area was replaced by a snake with a strange shape.

The new disaster caught people off guard. When the shocked people reacted and wanted to turn around and flee, the giant snake's huge mouth was already behind them.

In the ground area of ​​the city-state, most of the buildings are relatively old, all of which are houses built many years ago, but there are also high-rise buildings, but there are more scattered objects on the streets.

On the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street, some people trembled and looked down, only to see a big-headed, short-tailed snake following the end of the fleeing crowd on the street.

Its body is bright red, and it seems to have no scales. At this moment, it is opening its huge mouth and swallowing the people running and screaming in front of it one by one at a time.

This is simply like a nightmare.

It not only devours humans, but also various debris on the road, bicycles, trash cans... As long as it is within its sight, it will swallow it.

Careful observers discovered that as the monster snake swallowed more things, its originally very short tail seemed to grow a little longer.

The network was squeezed again within a minute, and various videos appeared. Most of these videos were shaky and blurry, but you could still see the red monster snake's slippery and disgusting body wandering on the ground.

- People in the blue light area should not go out!

- This time it's not a black hole! A strange big snake appeared in the blue light area! It is currently only moving on the ground!

- No! I have seen it crawling down from a tall building! People in the building should also be careful, stay away from windows, and it is best to find something to block the doors and windows!

...

The three people from Youxi quickly found the latest video uploaded to the Internet from the blue light area through the "Life Assist Device".

She looked at the shaking 3D image in front of her, and her brows were knotted again.

If she was not mistaken, the red scaleless monster snake was - the greedy snake! ?

Among the friends, only You Zhenzhen had more experience in games, but according to her recollection, she had never seen this kind of game. The game types in the Storm World and Youxi's native world seemed to be different.

Xing Min had received various data and information from Youxi's native world, and knew about games such as Black Hole and Greedy Snake, but he did not understand them, and Youxi had no way to discuss them with him.

The first blue light area has not ended yet, the second, third... four new blue light areas have appeared in other ground building areas.

The pattern of the blue light tonight is completely different from the previous night, which makes some people who have been obsessed with finding the pattern of disasters confused.

**

That night, there were more than a dozen blue light areas where the swallowing snake appeared, and none of them overlapped with the black hole swallowing area the night before.

Probably because of this reason, not long after dawn the next day, Youxi heard noisy voices. She got out of her sleeping bag and walked to the edge of the building. She found that not far ahead, in the commercial park that was desolate and quiet not long ago, groups of people appeared.

They were like the group of people who came later yesterday, bringing their families, airbag tents, water and supplies... Those who had the conditions brought robot cars, and those who didn't had to carry them on their own, obviously planning to stay nearby.

Sure enough, the blue light areas did not overlap for two nights, and now everyone regards the areas where the blue light has appeared as safe places.

Xiyuan was on duty last night. He is now a robot, and according to him, he seems to not feel sleepy.

Xingmin woke up early, and now he and Xingmin are standing on either side of him in front of the broken glass, staring at a small group of people walking towards the small building below.

The accommodation conditions in this small coffee shop building are much better than those in the open-air park full of waste and garbage. Some people who did not prepare tents plan to stay temporarily in the building.

However, the door on the first floor of this coffee shop is locked. Youxi and the other two did not use the door when entering and exiting the third floor, so they did not break the door lock. They just piled up the tables and chairs at the entrance of the stairs to separate the third floor from the other floors below.

But the newcomers didn't know about this. They saw them from outside the broken glass wall, and then found that the door was locked. They thought they locked the door on purpose to prevent others from entering.

A group of people returned to the broken glass wall again, raised their heads and made a negotiating gesture, saying that they would not chase them away, but just wanted a place to rest and share the building with them. They hoped that they could open the door and did not want to break it violently, etc.

Xing Min and Xi Yuan turned around and looked at You Xi at the same time.

You Xi was fixing her hair. She casually pulled her hair, which was not too short, and found a hair tie in the space to tie it up neatly. Then she reached out and collected all their personal belongings on the third floor.

"Let's go, let's go to another place." She now had some ideas in her mind, and she needed a quiet environment to record them and then analyze them with them. And here, there will only be more and more people.

"Let's go!" Xi Yuan liked her straightforward look. He leaned against the wall with his arms folded, and shook his big and square head at her - he might have meant to be cool, but unfortunately You Xi didn't get it at all.

"Is your neck stuck? Do you want some engine oil?"

Xi Yuan:...

Xing Min couldn't help but smiled with his head down.

Xi Yuan said nothing, turned around and jumped directly from the gap on the third floor.

The people below were still thinking about the wording and terms for the negotiation, but the next second, a tall robot fell in front of them with a thud.

Before they could even scream, two more people jumped down from the third floor one after the other.

This... This is a breakdown in negotiations. Are they going to be beaten? No, are they going to resort to violence?

"We didn't leave the door. You can do whatever you want. But the blue light area is not a 100% safe area." You Xi said to them, then turned around and left with Xing Min and Xi Yuan.

Compared to other stations, the people at this station seem to be more miserable.

Compared to visible and orderly disasters, such a completely disordered disaster is more likely to wear away the hope and courage in the hearts of humans.

**

An hour later, a large tree with lush branches and leaves quietly appeared next to a collapsed building near another glass fence.

Several buildings around here collapsed completely. Rescue workers came and rescued the survivors, but there was no time to clean up the mess. There was black sewage everywhere. There were two trees next to the collapsed building, and Youxi's tree house was perfectly hidden in between.

Inside the tree house, Xing Min was making coffee in the open kitchen, while Xi Yuan wiped the bottom of the machine with the wet towel handed to him by Youxi, then sat cross-legged next to Youxi and watched her write down some current information on paper.

This is Youxi's habit. If some thoughts and information are recorded on paper, it can help her think better.

1. Both games are Devouring Games, which corresponds to the name of this site. So it is reasonable to suspect that if the disaster in the blue light area changes again in the future, it will still be related to the Devouring Game.

But now, she can't remember what other similar Devouring Games there are, so she can't predict.

"But-" You Xi tapped the paper with the tip of the pen, "I feel that these disasters should all be physical."

2. The blue light area is currently limited to the night, not during the day.

Regarding this speculation, she thinks it may be related to the opening of time, space and dimensions. Black holes and Devouring Snakes are not things in this world's cognition. They may come from other dimensions, and the blue light is likely to be their protective shield.

So they can move freely in the blue light, but the range of action is also limited to the blue light. If there is a way to get rid of the blue light, even if they don't disappear, they will be limited.

"In fact, I have another guess about the first and second points, but this guess is too scary, so I won't record it for now."

Hearing Youxi say this, Xiyuan became more and more curious, and couldn't help asking what the guess was.

She looked up and saw Xingmin looking at her, so she asked them both: "Have you heard of the fourth natural disaster?"

Xingmin has all the information about Youxi's world in his mind, so of course he knows what the "fourth natural disaster" is, but now that this word is used here, the speculation it evokes is indeed a bit creepy.
