Chapter 111 One Yuan Purchase
[A new white tower suddenly appeared in District 0009!! ]
[A mysterious white tower is back! ]
[A white tower appeared. Mo Qian, the captain of the first team of the Jiuding Guild in District 0009, said: The situation is under control. Please keep calm and evacuate in an orderly manner. ]
[A new white tower has not appeared in District 0009 for two years. Why did it appear at this time? ]
[What does the arrival of the new white tower foreshadow? ]
Related reports on the new white tower in District 0009 have been overwhelming on the Internet.
At this time, Zheng Xun was on his way to District 0009, and Cheng Jie was in the same taxi with him. Cheng Jie went, and Xiao Jun took Tao Xueji and Tao Xueqing back to Mingque first.
Jiuding Guild secretly notified several friendly associations and asked nearby players for temporary support.
The appearance of a new white tower is not a good thing.
Since the first white tower appeared one night eight years ago, there have been thousands of them in official records.
This number will hardly change significantly. Whenever a white tower disappears, another white tower will appear, but this process is not simultaneous. The former may disappear for a long time, or even one or two years, before the latter appears.
The large-scale arrival of white towers also has a cycle. The first wave appeared in the first year. That year, the number of white towers in various places increased dramatically, bringing great disasters to ordinary people. The second wave was four years ago. Although the guild has entered the normal operation, due to the large number of newly added white towers, many non-players were involved in the dungeon, which also caused a large number of casualties.
According to experts, the location chosen by the white tower to descend is random. Maybe it is a shopping mall, or maybe it is a building. In short, the appearance of the white tower-shaped building never says hello, like a rude uninvited guest.
As long as the white tower chooses a place, everything at the original address, whether human or animal, will be transformed or disappear.
Now, in the 0009 area where Jiuding is located, there has been no new white tower for nearly two years. Usually, when choosing a location, a large guild will choose a place with fewer white towers, and before the location is selected, it will send team members to clean up the white towers in the area.
Therefore, the area where the large guild is located is often a relatively peaceful place and relatively prosperous.
This time, the new white tower chose area 0009, which was beyond everyone's expectations. As the guardian of this area, Jiuding immediately called on the players in the guild who had no dungeons or other tasks to come to the scene to maintain order.
Media reporters also arrived at the scene, and the camera happened to capture the captain of Jiuding Team 1, Mo Qian, holding a walkie-talkie, arranging the players on the scene to take their positions at the designated location to prevent the white tower from getting out of control.
Zheng Xun sat in the back seat of the taxi, scrolling through the instant news on his phone. In the camera, he saw that the location that was supposed to be Linxun Mansion was wrapped by a looming "membrane".
This layer of film reflecting arc light is the prototype of the white tower. After about a few hours, it will solidify and take shape, becoming the same as the existing white tower.
The period of finalization is the most unstable time for the white tower. Although there is no record that the boss in the dungeon will take the opportunity to get out, there have been cases in the past where passers-by were dragged in and their fate was quite tragic.
Zheng Xun suddenly felt a headache. He wanted to open the car window, but Cheng Jie next to him stretched out his arm and pushed it back.
"I feel dizzy, want to vomit, and feel sick." He muttered uncomfortably.
"You can't blow the wind then. You just drank alcohol and you blow such a cold wind. Wait until tomorrow to lie down."
"Thirsty, want to drink water."
"Too many things."
Cheng Jie asked the driver to stop on the street, bought sobering medicine from the pharmacy, and then went to the convenience store next door to buy juice and water, and then returned to the car.
"Drink it."
"I want to drink ice."
"If you say another word of nonsense, I will kick you out of the car."
Zheng Xun put the water bottle on his forehead and closed his eyes.
"It's chilling, too chilling. The real chilling never comes from making a big fuss."
"... That's enough. How come I've been ordered around by you since I first met you?"
"It's all an illusion."
The restaurant is not far from the accident site in District 0009, so Zheng Xun and his team arrived quickly.
"If you're drunk, just be honest. Don't talk too much and don't stand out. Jiuding and his team probably can handle it themselves. We just need to come on stage symbolically and leave quietly."
Before getting off the car, Cheng Jie told Zheng Xun.
"Why? I don't want to. I'm not drunk at all. I also want to stand guard for District 0009 with Jiuding's people."
Xiao Zheng, who was standing guard, patted his chest and accidentally patted it too hard, and coughed twice.
"... You'd better listen to me and shut up. It's good for both you and me."
In order to prove that he was not drunk, Zheng Xun opened the car door, his eyes were firm, his steps were steady, and he walked straight forward.
"Hey! It's upside down, this way."
Cheng Jie, who opened the car door later, called him over.
Zheng Xun returned to him expressionlessly.
"I just made a move."
"Okay, okay, you're awesome. I've praised you, are you satisfied?"
"Not sincere enough, but you've barely passed."
Zheng Xun nodded, Cheng Jie rolled his eyes at him, and told him to put on the hood of his coat to cover himself, it was embarrassing.
Zheng Xun wore a black loose coat today, which was a bit too big, probably because he bought the wrong size.
When the hat was put on, the upper half of his face was almost blocked, leaving only his mouth and jaw.
"Let's go." Cheng Jie turned his head and hooked his hand in front, and Zheng Xun followed him.
The two came to the vicinity of the new white tower.
The people of Jiuding had already surrounded this place. Cheng Jie showed his bracelet ID and asked Zheng Xun to do the same, then bypassed the cordon and entered the vicinity of the white tower.
Zheng Xun lifted the edge of his hat a little and looked up at the translucent building.
This white tower seemed to be much taller than the others. The dazzling outer membrane was windless and automatic. Occasionally, some patterns flashed in it, which looked like codes and coordinates. They were too small and a little blurry.
So this was the initial form of the white tower.
Mo Qian was not far away and looked very busy. Players wearing uniforms of other guilds also arrived. They all surrounded the white tower with their own weapons in their hands.
The scene was very orderly and quiet. These players were all trained and almost all walked on the edge of life and death. They knew how to stay calm in the face of emergencies at this moment.
Zheng Xun put his hat brim down again and lowered his head. This time his entire face could not be seen.
Cheng Jie, who was standing next to him, observed for a while and asked him.
"What do you think?"
Zheng Xun pouted for a long time before replying.
"Sad. My one-yuan purchase is gone... gone..."
"..."
