Chapter 935 Global School Starts 1
"What happened to this world...?"
One sentence has become the biggest doubt for most human beings at this moment.
The world is cooling rapidly, and sweltering summers are replaced by cold winters overnight.
Ice formed on the endless sea level, and it was frozen for thousands of miles.
Heavy snowfall, unprecedented in thousands of years, appeared in the equatorial zone, covering the grey-brown earth and leaving no grass growing.
The coming of the Great Ice Age brings the first test to all humans on Blue Star: extreme low temperatures.
The sudden drop in temperature killed most of the animals and plants on Blue Star in an instant, and even some unsuspecting humans. As they walked and fell asleep, they completely closed their eyes and never woke up again. Come……
The Great Ice Age is coming, and the second test for all humans on Blue Star is the extremely rapid freezing.
Faced with low temperatures, humans who reacted huddled in their houses, took out their winter coats, put them on, and then turned on the heater.
But within just a few hours, the once bustling cities and quiet villages were covered in layers of ice and snow. Soon, the humans hiding in the houses realized something was wrong. The doors and windows were frozen shut... They were locked up. inside.
"What the hell happened?"
"I'm trapped at home, who can help me?"
"Help! The signal is getting worse and worse..."
"..."
On all the major social platforms, everyone is frantically leaving messages on them, hoping to draw some comfort from them.
But slowly, the overwhelming wind and snow broke down the signal towers one after another, tearing off the exposed wires in mid-air. Large-scale power outages and network outages began to occur around the world.
Human beings surrounded by wind and snow, either alone or in a family, were all isolated in "fortresses" in the wind and snow. Darkness and coldness came, and everyone seemed to be abandoned and lost by the world. all the echoes...
…
at this time.
In an underground refuge base.
Su Tingyu turned off the panel and turned to look at Qin Qi: "The public beta has begun."
"Yeah." Qin Qi found some girls' winter clothes and put them on Su Tingyu: "There are still two hours of preparation time for the first dungeon after the open beta begins. It is estimated that all humans will participate in this round of dungeons. of."
"After entering the dungeon, it may be difficult for me to find you, so be careful."
"Yeah, I know." Su Tingyu stretched out her hands and let Qin Qi put on her clothes.
All the heating equipment in the base has been started, and all the staff who were originally on standby at the base began to work nervously.
"Qiqi, I want to contact someone first." Su Tingyu looked at the cell phone with no signal and prepared to leave the room to find someone.
"Well, I'll go with you." Qin Qi had no objection. He just needed to protect Su Tingyu and not interfere with any of the latter's actions.
When Su Tingyu was about to open the door and go out, suddenly, as if he remembered something, he turned to look at a corner——
Lucifer was seen staring at the suddenly black computer screen, his little face slightly bulging, as if he was angry.
"Ahem." Seeing this, Su Tingyu coughed lightly: "Lucifer, you can't watch TV series now, why don't you come with me?"
There are many people in the base, and Lucifer is a master who cannot be restrained. Su Tingyu is worried that Lucifer is not under his nose.
After all, there have been lessons learned before.
Currently, only Qin Qi knows about Lucifer's existence.
However, Su Tingyu trusted Qin Qi, and the latter promised to keep the secret.
"Oh." Lucifer replied dully after hearing Su Tingyu's words, then flew to Su Tingyu's side and dove into the panel.
"Okay, let's go!"
Seeing Lucifer go back obediently, Su Tingyu raised a smile and waved his little hand to Qin Qi.
After the two came out of the room, Su Tingyu led the way. According to the location information Xie Puyu gave her before coming, they walked for about ten minutes and arrived at another area of the base.
Su Tingyu looked around and saw the figure of Jie Puyu not far to the right.
Xie Puyu was instructing two staff members to move things: "You move the things over there...just put them there."
Su Tingyu walked over: "Xiao Yuyu."
"Just leave it there... Okay, you go and do other things first." Xie Puyu noticed that Su Tingyu was coming, so she pushed away the two staff members and turned to look at Su Tingyu and Qin Qi who were approaching. .
Xie Puyu glanced at Su Tingyu and then at Qin Qi: "Is this the person sent from above?"
"Yeah!" Su Tingyu nodded with a smile on his face.
"Hello, I'm Xie Puyu." Xie Puyu extended her right hand to Qin Qi: "This guy is a bit noisy, please bear with him a little more."
Qin Qi stretched out his right hand, and when the two of them held hands, he responded calmly: "She is fine, I will take good care of her."
Hearing this, Xie Puyu raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Su Tingyu again, who was smiling like a fool. Her intuition told him... there was something fishy.
Curiosity drove Xie Puyu to ask more questions, but rationally, he restrained himself and asked Xiang Su Tingyu, "What are you here for?"
Su Tingyu: "I'm just here to ask about the situation outside?"
"It's outside..." When talking about business, Xie Puyu's expression became a little more serious: "The Great Ice Age has officially arrived. Although we have warned the uninformed people before and built a large number of evacuation bases, we still can't Be foolproof, our country is like this, but those areas in foreign countries..."
"In other words, there have been casualties?" Su Tingyu frowned.
Xie Puyu shook her head: "It is still impossible to count the casualties. The normal civil power grid and signal network around the world have been blocked. Only the state-owned lines buried underground can still be used normally for the time being. But if the global temperature continues to drop and exceeds the line The material’s tolerance range may be…”
"After the public beta appeared, the superiors immediately dispatched troops to carry out rescue operations. I hope there will be fewer casualties."
China is the most populous country in the world. It is also a big problem to arrange all citizens into evacuation bases in a short period of time.
What's more, the advent of the Great Ice Age was unexpected, and many of the refuge bases originally built on the surface had to be abandoned. Suddenly, the number of truly usable refuge bases was reduced.
At the same time, with such a large population, daily consumption is also a problem. Even if you are prepared in advance, you are now in a situation where every second counts.
"Don't run around. The first copy of the public beta will start soon. This is a special mobile phone connected to the state-owned network. It can be used in the base. Soon, it will also be installed in the refuge base. It's a traditional phone booth. If you have any questions, please contact me." Xie Puyu took out a mobile phone and handed it to Su Tingyu.
"good."
Xie Puyu waved her hand: "Okay, okay, you go back. Next, you may be busy too, so cherish your leisure time now."
Su Tingyu: Uh-huh? ? ?
Su Tingyu didn't understand. Seeing that Xie Puyu was busy with work again, she had no choice but to go back with Qin Qi.
…
Su Tingyu returned to her room and opened the panel.
Now that there was no way to contact the outside world through real communication, Su Tingyu could only use the friend system on the panel to send messages to Fatty and the others.
After a while, Su Tingyu received the message from Fatty and the others that they were safe, so he temporarily relaxed and logged onto the player forum.
After the global network and power outage, and after surviving the initial terrifying period of low temperature freezing, some of the humans who had just become public beta players began to study the panels in front of them with anxiety and panic.
The various functions on the panel were not difficult to understand. Soon, more and more new players found the only channel to communicate with the outside world - the player forum.
As a result, the posts that were intended for internal beta players to discuss with each other were suddenly washed away by a large number of novice players.
[anyone there? anyone there? Who can explain it? ]
[Oh my God, the end of the world? ? Are aliens invading Blue Star? ? ]
[What is this parallel paradise? What else are public beta players? ]
[What a damn weather! Why did it get cold all of a sudden! Isn’t it the legendary Great Ice Age? ]
[Tsk, tsk, so many new players are here? ]
[What new player? Upstairs, do you know anything? ]
[Who has extra clothes? I'm so cold. I was originally notified to prepare something, but I'm too lazy to prepare it...]
[Wow! Official as expected, it turned out that I knew about it early and prepared in advance]
[New players, if you want to know all the reasons, you can check out the post of Alliance Miracle Red member ‘Guo Shi Wushuang’, where you will find the answers you want]
[…]
New players were scared and confused, old players were laughing at the show, and the forum became extremely chaotic for a time.
Fortunately, soon, kind-hearted old players introduced the current situation to all new players. In addition, hidden personnel from various countries also appeared in the forum.
[Dear new players from the Celestial Dynasty, I am the member of the Alliance Miracle Red, 'Guo Shi Wushuang'. At the same time, I also hold an important position in the official army. First of all, you need to stay calm. Secondly, in reality, be sure to keep warm and safe. Work and wait for the rescue of official military personnel. In the game, please do not leak personal true information at will, and please do not trust others at will, except for relatives and trusted friends... Finally, all Blue Star public beta players will be in two Hours later, you will enter a dungeon, which you can think of as the dungeon in a traditional online game. The difference is that if you fail to clear the level in the parallel park dungeon, your life will be in danger! If you are in danger, don't give up! Remember, there is a powerful country behind you! Please also have faith that the country will not abandon any Chinese citizen! ]
[Wow! Is Miracle Red an official organization? ? ]
[Awesome! My great heaven! I started planning so early]
[Then the virus in the past few months, policies such as no-flying, and asking everyone to leave home less and stock up on supplies are all the work of the government? ? ]
[Is the official here? My home is in XXXXXXXXXX, please come quickly! I don’t have many warm supplies at home! The whole family can’t hold it any longer! ]
[And my home! I’m at ××××××, come quickly! ! ]
[…]
Su Tingyu unknowingly read the forum posts for almost two hours. The official responses and actions were also timely, quickly stabilizing the mentality of most new players in the Tianchao District.
Su Tingyu's expectation was correct. Miracle Red really had something to do with the government. During the Dragon Boat Festival dungeon, Su Tingyu had met the 'Guo Shi Wushuang', and it turned out to be her boss - Lin Wuxia.
Since Lin Wuxia holds an important position in Miracle Red, the backer behind Miracle Red is obvious.
After the start of the public beta, the start time of the first copy is getting closer and closer, with only the last ten minutes left.
ten minutes later.
The panels of all players around the world opened at the same time, and a piece of content appeared on it:
[The game copy is starting...]
At the bottom, the progress bar filled up little by little, and then, another [Enter Dungeon] button popped up. In the confused eyes of all the public beta players who participated in the game for the first time, they clicked it very intelligently.
Su Tingyu looked at this extremely familiar scene and closed his eyes calmly.
…

Su Tingyu opened her eyes and found that she was sitting in an ordinary high school classroom.
There were fifty seats in a classroom, and they were all occupied. Su Tingyu glanced around, and from the looks on those people, he could tell at a glance that they were all players.
"Where is this place..."
"Why did I suddenly come here?"
"Is this what is called a copy?"
"..."
Su Tingyu heard so many exclamations coming from his ears, and a thought came to his mind: Are most of the new players in this classroom?
However, when Su Tingyu saw the number of players, he felt slightly frightened.
More than 4 billion players? ?
If I remember correctly, the latest global population statistics are clearly around 7 billion... Where have the remaining 3 billion people gone?
Didn't participate... or did they all...
