Raising his head and looking at the dark night sky above his head, Bai Zhi shrugged slightly.
"Disaster strikes?"
After a moment of daze, the voice on the phone suddenly raised an octave.
"What's going on? Has the world of mountains and seas arrived so soon!?"
"Strictly speaking, the current situation will look worse... huh? Just go about your business and I won't disturb you. I have a call."
While saying this, Bai Zhi hung up the phone very neatly.
Originally, he called the other party just to get some inside information from the other party. However, since the other party was also in a state of ignorance, then the other party naturally had no use value.
He's very skilled at things like this.
"Where are you now?"
As soon as the call was connected, a cold female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Um...the original words?"
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi quickly identified the identity of the person on the other end of the phone from the voice.
Turning his head and looking around, he quickly answered.
"I am currently at the entrance to the Cave Paradise of [Zhurong]... What's wrong?"
"We are short of manpower. We need help here. Please wait where you are for a moment. I will come right away."
After a brief explanation, Yuan Ci hung up the phone without waiting for Bai Zhi to reply.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Things like this kind of retribution always come very quickly.
He didn't have to wait long. About half a minute after the call was hung up, with the appearance of an invisible twisting vortex in the air, Yuan Ci's figure appeared in front of him.
"How has the current situation developed?"
Looking at the girl with heterochromatic eyes who appeared in front of him, Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"The situation is not optimistic, but generally it is still within the controllable range... We will go to Haicheng next."
After saying a simple word, he walked over and grabbed his arm without saying anything. Yuan Ci pulled him and stepped into a whirlpool that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"We have sent all the manpower we can to the eighteen big cities. The situation in Haicheng is not optimistic. We need a strong player to take charge."
"Wait, can you explain it to me clearly before..."
Before he could finish his words, the rest of Bai Zhi's words were completely swallowed up by the twisting vortex that suddenly disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, the place at the entrance of [Zhurong] returned to its previous peace.
… … … … … … … … …
Haicheng is an international metropolis with a permanent population of tens of millions.
Whether it is day or night, Haicheng is always full of excitement and hustle and bustle, so it also enjoys the reputation of the city that never sleeps internationally.
But when Bai Zhi and Yuan Ci arrived at Haicheng, looking down from a high altitude, they saw a silence and gray coldness. The whole city had no lights and was lifeless.
Looking from a distance, the entire city looks like a big tomb immersed in deathly silence.
"...What's the situation here?"
After looking downward for a while, Bai Zhi turned his head and looked at the girl next to him.
"In a big city like this, there should be strong player organizations stationed there, right? After all, there shouldn't be any information at all."
Even in a city like Binhai City, there are two crouching dragons and phoenixes like the [Big Bird Bar] and the [What] Guild. In a big city like Haicheng with a population of tens of millions, naturally There will be no shortage of strong player organizations.
"I don't know, this city has completely lost contact."
Turning his head, Yuan Ci glanced at him.
"According to the currently known information, as long as you enter the coverage area of this city, or the altitude is lower than one thousand meters, you will be swallowed up by the city and completely lose contact."
"Swallow... So you don't know what's going on in this city anymore?"
Looking at the darkness below, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
—In his eyes, there was a faint golden light flickering past.
But even though [Pluto] can penetrate the darkness, the city below that is plunged into darkness is still hidden in the shadows, and nothing can be seen at all.
"Yes, among the three cities that have completely lost contact, Haicheng is one of them."
Yuan Ci answered calmly.
"As of now, no information has come out from the city, and there is no way to contact people in the city."
"This is a city that is completely disconnected."

Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro-Probability: Chapter 1472 Chapter 549 Gamified City (4k)
In today's era, it is actually very difficult for a large city with a population of tens of millions to completely lose contact.
A large population means a large number of players in the city.
Especially in an international metropolis like Haicheng, the government has also deployed branches of relevant departments with strong strength here, just like the branch base in Binhai City.
The means that players have are ever-changing, and with the Shadow World as a connection, it is impossible to completely isolate information, but unfortunately, this kind of thing still happens.
However, although contact is lost, this does not mean that the situation has deteriorated to an uncontrollable level. After all, there are so many powerful players in a city, and it is impossible to completely wipe out the entire army.
But after all is said and done, what happens in a city like this must be complicated and quite tricky.
For example, in China, the number of inheritors is only 12, and there are only 18 big cities. There is not enough for each city. It can be said that there is an extreme shortage of manpower.
If the relevant departments had not made considerable preparations for this disaster as early as before, I am afraid that the situation would have deteriorated to a quite terrifying level.
But even so, the current situation is still not optimistic. According to rough statistics from relevant departments, the number of casualties caused by this disaster so far has exceeded 200,000.
In peacetime, 200,000 casualties is simply an unimaginable number, but under the current situation, it is just the beginning.
"So according to what you said, I will be responsible for Haicheng alone?"
After listening to Yuan Ci's narration as concisely as possible, Bai Zhi glanced at the other party.
"Of course, but you can ask for other cooperation."
Standing thousands of meters high in the sky, Yuan Ci answered calmly.
"If it's really difficult for you here, I can go in with you."
"Okay, I'd better go alone."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi looked down again.
A large city with tens of millions of people that is completely out of touch and cannot transmit even a little bit of information. Even if the opponent is proficient in space, once it falls into it, it may not be able to get out.
In today's situation, there is no doubt about the role played by the highly mobile opponent. Even if it is out of pure profit considerations, unnecessary time should not be wasted on this kind of situation. things.
"...Every once in a while, this dark area of the city will expand and swallow up the surrounding space, so proceed with caution."
After a little silence, leaving such a sentence, Yuan Ci's figure quietly disappeared into the air.
"It turns out that there is no need to twist the vortex..."
With a slightly subtle look on his face, he glanced at the place where the other party disappeared. In the next moment, Bai Zhi's figure also followed from top to bottom and sank into the city below.
It was as if he had passed through an invisible film. At a certain moment, he felt a down-to-earth feeling under his feet, and at the same time, the scene in front of Bai Zhi suddenly changed.
"...Is this the inside of the city?"
Looking at the situation in front of him, Bai Zhi's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
As an international metropolis with a permanent population of tens of millions, Haicheng had never been to this place before. But it was like seeing pigs running before eating pork. What is the layout of a city? Bai Zhi is still clear to him.
—But no matter what, the layout of the city cannot be like what I see in front of me.
Squares, squares, besides the squares, there are countless squares wherever you look.
Just like the city area built with blocks in MC Minecraft, all the buildings he saw in front of him were made of stacked blocks.
The houses are made of wooden squares and stone squares, the street lamps on both sides of the street have been replaced with glowing stones, and the cars parked on the roadside have become funny blocks.
Not only buildings, but also humans have become cube people... Cube people
Suddenly feeling horrified, Bai Zhi lowered his head and glanced at his hands.
Wherever you look, there are edges and corners.
As expected, he has now become a square person, and his edges that have been smoothed away by society have returned to him.
"Only the external form has changed, but the skills and so on don't seem to be greatly affected... Well, not bad, he is still so handsome."
After checking his current appearance from a God's perspective, Bai Zhi nodded with satisfaction.
It took him about half a minute to quickly adapt to his body in this form.
Compared with the previous shota-shaped body, this square-shaped body adapts faster.
Because of the obstruction of some invisible force, even if he still has a God's perspective, the height of the God's perspective can only be raised to about three meters at most, so he cannot judge where he belongs now. Turned into block blocks, or the entire city turned into a block city.
After thinking for a while, Bai Zhi walked towards a shopping mall next to the street.
The streets were empty, with nothing but blocky cars that could not be driven piled up in a haphazard pile.
If he wanted to find out what was going on in this city, it was the wisest choice to ask the people involved in the city about the situation. Previously, he vaguely saw the Cube Man wandering around in this shopping mall.
Although he was in the form of a cube man, Ghost Domain was not greatly affected, so within a few seconds, he arrived in front of the cube man in the mall.
When seeing his arrival, the other party originally wanted to avoid him, but he didn't expect him to come so quickly, so he was inevitably caught off guard for a moment.
"Wait, don't kill me. I have an 80-year-old mother in need of support and a three-year-old child waiting to be fed. Please show mercy to this strong man!!"
Seeing that he could no longer hide, the square man, who was still holding a dozen square breads in his arms, raised his hands neatly, and then flexibly knelt down in front of him with a plop.
Bai Zhi: "..."
… … … … … … … … … …
Ten minutes later, inside the mall.
"...kill people to gain power?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but frowned as he listened to the story of the square man in front of him.
"That's right, you can gain experience by killing people, and experience can be used to upgrade your level. As your level increases, you will gain more power."
He raised his hand and pointed at the top of his head. The square man had a lingering fear on his face.
"At the beginning, the crisis came from those animals, such as spiders and mice, which would actively attack humans. But these animals are easy to deal with, as long as the door is blocked. But later, someone accidentally discovered You can also gain experience by killing people to increase your level, and you will get more experience... "
"Survival mode?"
Frowning slightly, Bai Zhi glanced at the top of the other person's head.
On top of the opponent's head, there is not only a grid that can hold many blocks, but also several red hearts and water drops to represent blood volume and hunger. There is also a green experience bar below, which is completely mine. A replica of the survival mode in the world.
Although as an ordinary person, the other party didn't know much, but based on the other party's narration, Bai Zhi also roughly understood what happened here.
—City gamification.
As a standard social worker, the other party still stayed in the company to work overtime late at night. With the flash of green light that blinded his eyes, he fainted.
Then when he woke up, the city looked like this, and then he also turned into a cube man.
After experiencing a battle of wits with a large group of spider monsters in the office, he left the company with difficulty and embarked on his way home.
According to what the other party said, at the beginning, the city was very chaotic. There were cube people everywhere, as well as spiders and other monsters chasing and attacking people. However, later on, players who also became cube people appeared strongly. , and finally managed to bring the situation under control.
So far, they have followed the instructions of the players and dug a safe room in the ground to hide, so the streets are so deserted.
As for why he would venture out to the store... because if he didn't come out to find something to eat, he would starve to death.
"According to your statement, there are cube people who specialize in killing people in this city? Are those players not concerned?"
Looking at the opponent's health bar with only a few red hearts left, Bai Zhi's brows couldn't help but frown even more.
"Manage, why don't you care? But how can those players control such a big city?"
