Chapter 356: Time is Running Out

Without further ado, Yang Hao walked around the street for a long time, and finally found a newsstand, and finally bought the Southern Evening News on September 22, 2023.

The exact time of the copy is also incorrect. The watch Yang Hao was carrying showed that it was 3:36 p.m., but at the newsstand, the time he saw was indeed 5:58 p.m.

Regardless of the date, the time was also two hours and twenty-two minutes faster. Yang Hao didn't know if this was one of the clues, so he could only write it down in his mind first, and then adjust the time of the watch to the time in the copy.

This time difference is very easy to remember, three two, such a time difference is a bit of a coincidence, Yang Hao wrote it down first, and then took the Southern Evening News on September 22, 2023, opened a nearby house, lived in it, opened the newspaper, and looked at the news on it one by one.

"XXX was prosecuted, and the amount involved was huge."

"The acquaintance said that he was not feeling well and abandoned the baby boy who gave birth to 10 days to passers-by."

"XXX and XX get the certificate, lightning marriage."

“……”

Looking at them one by one, Yang Hao looked at them very carefully, and every word was not missed. Soon, it was dark.

The streets are lit up one by one, and the city begins to enter the nightlife. And Yang Hao's house. He was still sitting on the bed, and the newspaper had been thrown around.

Yang Hao flipped through them one by one, and suddenly his eyes were aimed at two words: "Kill!" ”

His eyes immediately looked away.

It was a section that wasn't very big, but not too small, and the headline on it was: "The murder case in the middle section of Hengan Road broke out again, three dead and one injured." ”

Again? Could it be that there is a murder case ahead?

In real life, murders can be seen in a certain city almost every day, and even if there are almost invincible police officers in the city in the game, there will still be murderers. But here, Yang Hao felt a little abnormal.

The city is on the verge of death. Every citizen is terrified. Fear and restlessness. This kind of thing is almost a death notice for the whole city. It's not that the murderer won't appear, but according to Yang Hao's thoughts, if in this environment. The group of people who exclude psychosis. Other normal people. Either they are looking for a way to save themselves, or they are numb and waiting for death to come. If there is a citizen homicide, then the matter becomes a hint. After that, there will be more and more murders, and eventually the whole city will be turned into a city of horrors.

This is a typical blind obedience psychology, since you can't live, then before you die, you did all the things you wanted to do before, and this life is not in vain. In my heart, there are definitely many more people who want to kill people than I think.

And as long as there is the first murder, it is almost certain that the number of blind followers will definitely surprise Yang Hao.

But herein lies the problem. It's been a week since this issue of the newspaper came out, and judging by the headline, the killings have been going on for a while. But Yang Hao looked at the atmosphere of the whole city today, except for the lifelessness, Yang Hao did not see the people with crazy eyes.

Do the citizens here have such self-control? Yang Hao doesn't believe it!

There's definitely something wrong here!

Yang Hao continued to look down, and the more he looked, the more he felt that there was a problem.

According to this news, it had been two weeks by the time the newspaper closed. And until now, the murderer has not been found. Those policemen, is it so useless?

"Maybe it's muscles and smokers?" As soon as Yang Hao had this thought, he shook his head and denied this suspicion.

How many days have they been in? It was three weeks ago, much earlier than they had come in.

Yang Hao put down the newspaper, turned on the computer, and looked it up on the Internet.

Dozens of minutes later, he leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette.

In this week, more than fifty people died on the news alone, and among them, as many as thirty or forty were killed, excluding the muscles and smokers, more than half of them must have not been killed. That is, in addition to them, there are several murderers hidden in this city.

"Is this a clue?" Yang Hao is thinking about this question.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Yang Hao felt the house shake violently, and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground without holding it steadily.

Immediately afterward, he felt the house start to shake irregularly, making it impossible for him to even sit still.

"Earthquake?!" Yang Hao felt it at once, and in an instant, the sweat on his head flowed down.

He thought that even if the earthquake was near, there would be some time. I didn't expect this earthquake to come so suddenly and so quickly.

Yes, there was an earthquake throughout the city. Many houses that had fallen into disrepair collapsed during the earthquake, and although some buildings did not become rubble in the earthquake, a lot of wall skin fell inside and out, and some furniture and fragile objects fell to the ground and turned into a large pile of debris. Cars on the road collided with each other, and almost at the same time, there were more than 200 serious car accidents in the whole city, and there were even more small car accidents.

Yang Hao hid in the corner of the bathroom, holding his head to deal with the sudden earthquake. However, he didn't wait too long, Yang Hao felt a violent vibration under his body and disappeared.

Yang Hao looked left and right, stood up against the wall, and returned to the room cautiously.

The surrounding decorations and furniture had shattered, chairs had fallen to the floor, and computers had fallen from the table to the floor, but the wall skin was covered with wallpaper, so there was no sign of the wall skin falling off.

The earthquake lasted for a total of two minutes, which made Yang Hao feel relieved while being nervous.

Fortunately, it's just a small earthquake, and if the earthquake that finally destroys Miè comes, then even if you are a god, you can't escape.

But this earthquake has already made Yang Hao a little nervous.

The first earthquake has already come, and the disasters that will follow will continue until the final destruction comes.

In other words, there won't be much time left for Yang Hao.

He opened the curtains and looked at the street below.

The situation was just as he imagined, and the pedestrians on the road had begun to panic and run in a panic. Looking at the past from Yang Hao's height, you can vaguely see passers-by who have been trampled underfoot, and some of them are even motionless, allowing others to step on them, looking like they are dead or unconscious.

The cars on the road were also twisted and entangled, colliding with each other, and parked on the road at random. Some were running out of the car and out of the crowd, while others were wiser and just stayed in the car and didn't go there. There are also some people who can't run because they have been in a car accident and have been stuck......

The signboards of the various shops on the road have become incomplete, one is bright, and the other is dark. Occasionally, there are blood stains on the sidewalks and on the road, which are caused by car accidents and stampedes......

In short, the streets are now very chaotic, full of people running in a panic, and the whole city has been completely paralyzed.

Yang Hao sighed and closed the curtains.

He knew that these people in front of him were all NPCs woven by a string of numbers, but looking at their behavior, Yang Hao still felt a terrifying feeling on his face.

The fear of the citizens infected him.

Sitting on the bed, Yang Hao covered his face and thought carefully.

More and more, he felt that he had come to this copy purely to send him to death. There is not much time left for me, will I be able to find the secrets of this city before the final ruin? Will you be able to get out of here before you destroy Miè? And most importantly, will I be able to save all my companions who will come here?

Yang Hao felt that the opportunity was too small. Now I don't even have a clue, how can I find it?

What he didn't know was ......

I died here, can I get rid of the limitations of this copy and return to the normal bullet world?

He pulled out the newly bought phone.

I got the phone and the number on the note. I don't know what to find, or who will call me?

"Ahh

Suddenly, Yang Hao stood up and stared at the phone screen.

On the phone screen, the upper right corner shows the battery level of the phone, which is full.

But next to the icon that shows the battery level, there is also a small bar. Yang Hao remembers very well that when he bought the mobile phone, this horizontal bar did not save zài!

He clicked on the bar, and the screen of his phone changed all at once.

The screen, which was originally a blue background, suddenly turned black. In the middle of the screen, there is also an empty horizontal bar, and on the left side of the horizontal bar, there is still a little bit of green that occupies a point, but only a little bit, so that Yang Hao can see it. Below the bar, there is also a note that reads: "Mission progress rate: 0.5%"

Yang Hao's brain suddenly became a little clearer.

He understood that the information written on that note was not asking him to find anyone at all, but prompting himself to get this mission progress indicator!

Getting this model of phone, and the number is not the most important feature. The important thing is that I combined these two things and got something that showed the progress of the mission!

Needless to say, this thing is so important to Yang Hao!

I didn't have a clue at all before, but with this thing, even if Yang Hao went on a rampage, he might find something. (To be continued......)
