Chapter 089 Silver Country Live Broadcast Begins
As the gray mist enveloped the area, the live broadcast began, and like last time, the audience came from all over the world.
[Ah, it starts again! Where is it this time? Western mainland, Eastern mainland? ]
【Looking at the architectural style, it looks like the Western Continent. 】
[Ah——I recognize this place. Oh my god, this is the dormitory building of KU! I am a graduate from here!]
[Okay, where is that KU?]
[Silver Country, an ordinary university. If there is anything unusual about it, it is that the dormitory building of this university is built on the site of an old prison.]
[It sounds like something terrible is going to happen.]
【Hasn’t something terrible already happened?】
[It’s been a few days since the US live broadcast. I thought there would be no more weird live broadcasts. ]
[Haha, that’s wishful thinking. I think the weird live broadcast will continue until the end of the world. ]
【I am an international student at KU. Fortunately, I took a leave of absence. I am so lucky. 】
【Take a leave of absence?】
[There has been a lot of buzz on the Internet about mysterious events, and many people have taken flights back to their home countries. If something does happen, even if they are young, they would like to stay in their hometown, or see their parents one last time before they die.]
[Gah…]
【Recently, strange incidents have occurred all over the world. Our country has set up emergency helplines to deal with strange incidents.】
[The big countries immediately set up departments to deal with weird things. It's just an emergency phone line. Who doesn't have one? 】
[Haha, our country doesn’t have a corresponding department.]
【May I ask where you are from? 】
【Neon Country.】
[…Or, how about you guys find a way to keep each other warm? ]
[We have already established our own company and no longer intend to rely on the group of people above who are only interested in profit. It is better to rely on the local Yamaguchi organization. At least they will protect the safety of the streets after receiving protection fees.]
【Looking at the internet, the Silver Nation officials have already taken action. 】
[Oh! This is the Cold Country. We haven't received any news from the Silver Country yet. How do we handle this?]
[Kwei University is surrounded, and the people nearby are being evacuated. As expected, it is still impossible to get in through the gray fog. 】
【Watch the live broadcast. I hope the people trapped inside can save themselves. The gray fog will eventually dissipate. Just hold on.】
【Everyone, look at the live screen, something is wrong with the dormitory building! 】
The camera of the strange live broadcast was suspended in mid-air, shooting the exterior of two dormitory buildings from the outside.
The dormitory building with light yellow exterior walls is changing at a very fast speed. The bright wall paint is gradually fading and even peeling off, and the metal window frames are becoming rusty, looking as if they have been there for nearly a hundred years.
The live broadcast screen flashed and switched to the corridor of the dormitory building. The white corridor walls turned black, and dark red liquid seeped out from the gaps between the bricks on the clean and tidy ground. The lights in the corridor were flickering.
Within a few minutes, screams were heard and someone's dormitory door was pushed open. The girls who stayed in the dormitory discovered the changes in the room. They had already known about the strange existence through the Internet, so they screamed and fled from the dormitory where the changes were happening.
Rushing out of the dormitory building and seeing the gray fog outside and in the sky, the dozen or so girls all had confused expressions on their faces.
"Linda!" Enol, who was standing outside the dormitory building, spotted the girl he had a crush on and quickly ran over to ask, "Are you okay?"
The blonde girl was still staring at the sky above her head. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked at Enor, tears almost falling from her eyes, and she shook her head.
A dozen boys also ran out from the dormitory building next door, some of them still wearing headphones, and they also looked at the fog-shrouded surroundings with a confused look on their faces.
"Oh my god." The boy wearing headphones looked around. "Gray fog, are we encountering a real weird incident? Not one of those make-believe incidents, but a real weird incident. Wait, are we on a live broadcast? Can the whole world see us? Cool!"
He straightened his clothes and hairstyle after he finished speaking: "Oops, I should have worn that shirt with the skull on it, that would have made me look handsome, I forgot to bring it, damn it."
The dark-skinned guy next to him looked at him as if he were an idiot: "Shouldn't you be worried about our lives?"
Several people were holding their cell phones. The long-haired girl held her phone high up and walked around, finally shaking her head: "No signal."
"What should we do?"
"If we were broadcast live, people would know our plight. It doesn't matter, the ambulance is waiting outside."
"Oh, yes, an ambulance. Maybe the pallbearers are ready outside as well." The long-haired woman wearing glasses said coldly.
"Palm bearers? What are you thinking? Let's not talk about the weird live broadcast in China. Did you see any bodies being carried out in Japan and the United States? That's a death without a burial place."
"Oh my God." Linda covered her face and cried, "I should go home. If I can go back alive this time, I must go home. I still have a lot to say to my family."
"You can tell me now." The guy in the headset pointed to the top of his head. "There are definitely countless people recording our live video. It's not too late for you to tell me now."
Linda stared at him blankly, her defenses broken. She squatted down and cried bitterly, sobbing, "I'm sorry, Mom. Last time I left home, I said that the pancakes you made were terrible. Although that was true, I shouldn't have said it directly. I'm really sorry. I also told my grandma to take good care of herself and always carry medicine with her. I won't have the chance to remind her where the medicine is in the future. Dad, I didn't say goodbye to you properly..."
"That's enough. We're not dead yet! Can you please stop leaving such unlucky last words?" the red-haired girl yelled.
Linda was stunned by the shouting.
Seeing that the girl he liked was rejected, Enor immediately came up to speak for her: "What's wrong with leaving a will in advance? If we encounter a monster, our survival rate may not even be 50%. Since everyone present may die, what's wrong with leaving a few words for your family before you die?"
"Because it's too unlucky!!" the red-haired girl said, glaring at Enor.
Park Sung-hyun stepped forward helplessly and advised: "Don't quarrel on both sides. The most important thing now is to get back alive from here. We don't know what kind of monster will appear here, so everyone should..."
"Hey, look! This is our dormitory building!" The boy with the headset interrupted Park Sung-hyun and said excitedly, pointing at the dormitory building.
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look over there, and saw that the two dormitory buildings were decaying at an extremely fast speed, and then collapsed, falling to the ground and turning into a pile of rubble, and then turned into dust, which was blown away by the wind.
After a moment of silence, the dark-skinned young man wailed: "I used the money I saved from my summer job to buy a new computer. It's the latest model with the highest configuration—"
"My cosmetics!!" This is the red-haired girl's wail, "And my VL bag——"
Park Sung-hyun's eyes were even more dazed: "My ID..."
He is an international student from a foreign country. It would be difficult to get a new ID without it.
"No, it's okay, calm down." The dark-skinned boy said, "Maybe our stuff is all fine. Do you remember the weird live broadcast in the United States? No matter how the art museum and paintings in the live broadcast changed and were damaged, nothing happened in the real art museum. So, our stuff must be intact, absolutely intact!"
His words comforted everyone, and even Park Sung-hyun had a glimmer of hope that nothing had happened to the items he had left in the dormitory.
"Yes, our luggage is intact. But we are different." The woman in glasses spoke again, her tone full of despair, "It means everything is over."
"Why are you talking so sadly?"
The woman with glasses squinted at the red-haired woman and said, "What else? Isn't this the truth?"
"I say, everyone calm down." Park Sung-hyun immediately walked up and said.
"Go away, Yellow," said the woman with glasses.
The smile on Park Sung-hyun's face stiffened a little, and he twitched the corners of his mouth, looking a little unhappy.
But the one who reacted more violently was the dark-skinned boy. He stared at the girl in glasses and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Any advice, Black."
The dark-skinned guy was about to swing his fist, but Enol grabbed him and said, "Calm down." Then he said to the girl with glasses, "What you said just now was terrible. You should apologize."
The woman in glasses turned her head away and ignored him.
"I'm telling you, woman with glasses, don't call me Black, my name is Duke! Do you hear me clearly, Duke!" the black-skinned guy shouted excitedly, "If I hear such discriminatory words from you again, I will beat you up even if you are a woman!" After saying that, he swung his fist fiercely, turned around and squatted to the side.
Enol secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The twenty or so college students trapped here had already developed a rift between them before they even got to know each other.
"Listen, I don't know where you come from or what you believe in." Enor pointed at the girl with glasses and warned her, "You'd better not say what you just said a second time, otherwise I guarantee that if something happens to you, no one here will help you." There is even a possibility of adding insult to injury. Of course, Enor did not say this out loud, he believed that the girl with glasses understood.
The woman with glasses didn't look at Enor, nor did she say anything. She turned away and her eyes met the red-haired woman's. The red-haired woman put one hand on her waist and sneered at her with disdain.
Park Sung-Hyun: It’s terrible.
I had originally thought that we could all work together to survive, but now it seems unlikely, as there are simply not many people here who want to work together.
Forget about trusting each other's backs, it seems like being friendly isn't about stabbing each other in the back.
Park Sung-hyun looked around at the people present.
Maybe this is not a bad thing, because to be honest, even if everyone expressed their intention to cooperate, he didn't dare to trust anyone except Enol. Even Linda, who had met him several times because of some overlapping courses, was the same.
The best example is Martin, who betrayed his lover in the last weird live broadcast in the United States.
Who can guarantee that another Martin won't appear here?
People are willing to do anything to survive.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant, and just when Park Sung-hyun was wondering whether to say something to break the silence, something strange happened again.
The ground that used to be the dormitory building began to shake, and a huge building rose from the ground. It appeared in front of everyone in a few seconds. It was a building that looked like an ancient castle.
No, looking at the tiny windows and the dead iron bars, it must be an old prison.
