Global Collapse-Chapter 493 - 463: A group fight against Gu Bongbong_1

"Let's go," Fatty said nonchalantly, brushing off his hands after he saw Gu Mian pick up the doll from the ground, find a nearby trashcan, and stick it headfirst inside.

Fatty shivered.

It is worth mentioning that when Gu Mian was performing his "evil deed," two players happened to pass by. These two players had already been so scared by Chu Changge that they saw danger everywhere. Upon seeing a psycho here "hanging the willows upside down," they turned tail and fled.

There were not many players left in the school now.

Gu Mian was sure that at least half of the players who participated in this event had died here, because the Dragon Boat event and the college entrance exam event were seamlessly linked. In the Dragon Boat event, it was mandatory for everyone to be in teams of five.

Therefore, those who teamed up in the Dragon Boat event also participated in the college entrance exam event together. This grouping led a large number of people to participate in other players' exam questions.

The organizer truly couldn't bear to see people happy, using two seamlessly linked events to trap and kill players.

Who could have thought that the team formed in the previous event would become a death knell for the next?

Some of the survivors had taken Chu Changge's words to heart, returned to the exam room to hand in their papers, and were preparing to leave. These players had mostly participated in other players' questions and had personally witnessed their teammates being killed by unsolvable ghosts.

Some didn't plan on leaving, including those who hadn't participated in other players' questions and those who were skeptical.

Others returned to the exam room, intending to observe the situation for the time being. In the minds of the test-takers, the exam room was the safest place in the entire event.

At this time, in Teaching Building No. 7, the one closest to the school statue, some players were observing from an exam room. Few players were wandering outside the buildings now. In Test room 7608, two players were craning their necks, looking out.

"Xingchen, do you think the man in the broadcast just now was telling the truth? Did we really overhear him by accident?" At this moment, a player whose nickname was 'Chen Jiyu's Marvelous Adventure' asked the person next to him, whose nickname was 'Star Sinks on the Other Shore'.

They had also teamed up for questions but were hesitant to leave so easily.

Xingchen gazed at the sparsely populated road outside. "I also think that the ghosts in this event are a bit strange. But we struggled to get into this college entrance exam event in the first place. Only the top twenty percent in the Dragon Boat event ranking were eligible to participate. We barely made it into the top twenty percent by the skin of our teeth. The rewards from the Dragon Boat event alone were very generous, providing enough Game Coins to cover our expenses for a month... The rewards for this college entrance exam event must be even more generous. Do you really want to leave halfway?"

The invigilator was still in the classroom. They occasionally glanced back at the monster on the platform, wary that it might suddenly appear behind them.

Xingchen stared at the street outside, silent for a moment before speaking. "It's only nine-fifty now; there are still more than two hours before the event ends... There's no rush. Let's observe a bit more. Look, two players are coming from over there; they seem to be a group. Let's see what happens to them first."

Following Xingchen's gaze, Chen Jiyu indeed saw two players approaching from the direction of the girls' dormitory.

One of them was wearing a white medical coat and carrying a guitar bag on his back that seemed incongruous with his appearance.

The other was Fatty, carrying a lantern that emitted a blue light. It is worth noting that the lantern had a very wide illumination range, lighting up an area tens of meters around them.

"They haven't attracted any Patrollers with such a conspicuous lantern?" Xingchen frowned at the two people slowly approaching from below.

These two seemed to be targeting the school's statue, walking slowly towards it.

Unlike other players, these two seemed not to be nervous at all, especially the one who looked like a Doctor.

Xingchen had good eyesight; he could even see the excitement on the Doctor's face.

For some reason, upon seeing the excited expression on the Doctor's face, he subconsciously shuddered.

Just then, he suddenly noticed something about ten meters behind the two. Xingchen focused for a moment and realized it appeared to be a person lying on the ground.

"Did a player die there?" Chen Jiyu apparently saw it too.

But Chen Jiyu suddenly noticed the figure seemed to be moving. It covered a large distance in an instant, drawing closer and closer to the two people ahead.

"That thing...is following them?" Xingchen said, his face pale. "Are these two being targeted by a ghost because they solved a problem together?"

As it drew nearer, the two on the upper floor got a clear view: it was a human-sized, eerie doll covered in large bloodstains.

The two people ahead seemed oblivious, stopping nonchalantly before the statue.

"Should we alert them?" Chen Jiyu looked at the two people standing before the statue, preparing to call out.

Just as he opened his mouth, he saw the doll's head snap around to stare directly at them.

Cold sweat instantly drenched Chen Jiyu. He held his breath and retreated a few steps.

Xingchen finally realized the seriousness of the situation. "I think we'd better turn in our papers and leave. Have you noticed that we've been here for almost half an hour, but no other test-takers have come back to turn in their papers? I'm afraid they..."

He paused, seemingly reluctant to voice his guess. "This event is indeed terrifying. Let's leave the two players alone and let them fend for themselves."

But these two players were also likely doomed.

"Alright..." Chen Jiyu immediately agreed. As he turned, he noticed something new outside the window.

"Huh?" Chen Jiyu waved at Xingchen. "Don't leave yet, the Patrollers are coming!"

Patrollers?

Xingchen immediately shifted his gaze toward the window. Sure enough, Patrollers had appeared downstairs, seemingly out of nowhere, dressed in biohazard suits. There were at least forty to fifty of them!

These Patrollers were headed towards the two people under the statue, but those two seemed oblivious to their presence.

Seeing the group of Patrollers getting closer and closer, Chen Jiyu couldn't hold back anymore. He took two large steps back from the window, then mustered all his strength to yell out, "Run!"

At this moment, Gu Mian was scrutinizing the Stone Tablet under the statue, searching for a keyhole. However, before he could find anything, he heard a roar from above telling them to run.

You could tell from the voice that the person shouting "Run!" had gathered all their courage to do so, as the roar was laced with several trembles.

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian's first instinct was not to wonder why they should run, but to look up in the direction the sound came from.

He saw a flushed face behind one of the sixth-floor windows of Teaching Building No. 7. It was obvious that this test-taker had shouted.

The loud roar also caught the attention of the other test-takers in the examination rooms. Gu Mian saw test-takers from that teaching building all curiously crowding by the windows.

However, Fatty's focus was clearly different from Gu Mian's.

While Gu Mian was counting the number of onlookers, Fatty's anxious voice drilled into his ears. Gu Mian heard him essentially repeat the earlier trembling roar, even his tone was identical.

"Run..."

Following Fatty's gaze, Gu Mian saw a dense swarm of Patrollers that had appeared behind them at some point, now moving towards them at a terrifying speed.

Meanwhile, the test-takers in the building were calling out to their companions: "Quick, come look! Those two unlucky fools ran into Patrollers!"

The crowd of onlookers grew. This excitement was their only bit of warmth in this cold, unforgiving event.

"Doc, I know your punches hurt..." Fatty looked at the dozens of Patrollers behind them, his voice still trembling, "but can you save this poor Fatty from so many Patrollers?"

"To be honest, while my punches do hurt," Gu Mian said, hastily taking the guitar bag off his back and opening it to reveal a gruesome chainsaw inside, "even if they were human, one against fifty is a death wish."

Fatty made a pertinent suggestion: "Then maybe we should run."

The test-takers in the building were curious to see how these two players would escape, but unexpectedly, neither of them ran.

One of them even took off the guitar bag from his back.

"What's he doing? Planning an impromptu performance for the Patrollers?"

"What if it's a special item? Like, he strums the guitar and all the ghosts in the area fall unconscious... Of course, I know no such ridiculously overpowered special item exists. I'm just kidding. Look, the Patrollers are almost on them..."

But soon they discovered that a guitar bag doesn't always contain a guitar; it might also hold a chainsaw.

Gu Mian pulled the gleaming saw from the bag. "Although I can't win one against fifty, running over fifty with a car might be possible. Where's my car!"

"Here!" Fatty quickly replied.

By now, the foremost Patroller had reached them, moving with a bizarre posture.

Then, the test-takers on the upper floors saw the Doctor raise the gleaming thing in his hand, and a head suddenly fell to the ground.

The test-takers watched the head roll several times, fell silent for a moment, and then a commotion began.

"Am I seeing things? Whose head was that? A Patroller's?"

"I was wrong! This thing is way more badass than a guitar that can hypnotize the whole field! How did I not know there was a special item that could make a ghost's head fall off?"

"Look, a car suddenly appeared next to them!"

When Liu Ruyan arrived near the statue, she saw Gu Mian's Spirit Car drifting recklessly around the school grounds.

Numerous victims lay under its wheels—they were the Patrollers, who had a habit of appearing like phantoms.

However, these Patrollers were now on their last legs.

It is worth mentioning that not far away on the road lay a human-sized doll, looking quite eerie. However, because Gu Mian wasn't paying much attention to the road while driving, the doll was being repeatedly run over.
