Online game: Hanging out in the beauty studio

The moonlight is as bright as a flower, just like fireworks suddenly blooming in the sky.

The bright moonlight shines on the golden desert, reflecting a warm orange light.

Its light is so bright that it can even illuminate the winding shadows under the sand dunes.

Looking up at the sky, the vast Milky Way is as light as a veil, as hazy as fog, and as ethereal as smoke, surrounding the bright moon.

The desert under the moonlight is so beautiful.

However...

Loulan City under the moonlight is more dead than imagined.

So much so that the moment Li Qianfan rushed straight into Loulan City from the gap in the city wall, the whole world seemed to suddenly quiet down.

Looking around in the bright moonlight, I saw that the streets in the city seemed to have been washed by a tornado. Not only were the small stalls along the street blown to pieces, but even the shop signs on both sides of the street fell to the ground one after another.

The streets were full of debris, and the whole city was in a state of desolation. I wonder if you would think that this was the scene after the bloodbath by the rebels.

‘Why are there plants everywhere? Am I in the primeval forest? ’

Just like the ruins of a city covered with green plants after the end of the world, this city seems to have been abandoned for a long time, so there are green grass and countless vegetation and shrubs everywhere.

Li Qianfan walked along the way and found that the doors and windows of the houses on both sides of the street were mostly closed.

It was not until he broke into several houses in succession and took a look around that he finally found some clues.

‘Something is wrong. There are no people in these houses, but there is not much dust on the tables, chairs and windowsills...’

‘That is to say, the people here should have just left not long ago, and because they left in a hurry, they didn’t have time to bring many things? ’

“In ancient times, this situation usually only happened during a siege...”

‘It can’t be that the enemy is about to attack the city, so the city lord temporarily evacuated all the residents urgently? ’

“And… how come this place is as quiet as a library? Not even a bug can be heard?”

Thinking of this, Li Qianfan subconsciously came to the street, and then looked up at the huge world tree.

Before, because of the distance, the tree only gave people a feeling of ‘big and tall’, which was probably like passing by a skyscraper in a car and then casually sighing ‘Wow, it’s so tall’.

But as Li Qianfan gradually went deeper into Loulan City, when he was covered by the canopy, the sense of oppression brought by this towering tree began to soar.

From a distance, it looked like a huge alien spaceship hovering over the city, as if it could open fire at any time and destroy the city below...

“A tree, a city...”

“There are no living people, no animals...”

“There are all kinds of plants everywhere that cannot be named, but at present, except for the purple vines on the city wall, no danger has been found for the time being...”

“So, where are the others?”

Li Qianfan was very cautious.

He did not rush into the depths of Loulan City, but kept wandering around the gap in the city wall.

So far, apart from the members of the Jiuzhou Alliance and the two Indian spies, he has never seen any other players.

It's okay for other people, but doesn't Shen Jiayan know that after coming in, she should find a way to meet him as soon as possible?

Shen Jiayan is not an unreliable person, let alone someone who will drag others down.

Since she has not appeared yet, it means that her birthplace must not be within the scope of the Jiuzhou Alliance.

In fact, as early as when wandering around the camp of the fake Loulan, Li Qianfan discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the champions of the top ten divisions with the ability to win the championship are not here, such as 'Black and White Impermanence', 'Thousand Hands Tathagata', 'Wind Full Tower', etc.

In addition to the mysterious masters of unknown origin, even the Blood Oath, which is the top guild in Jiuzhou along with the Gods Guild, is not here, so it is obvious...

Long before entering the God-forsaken Land, the major guilds had reached a consensus.

Those who are willing to respect the Gods Guild as the boss can join the Jiuzhou Alliance and fight side by side with the Gods Guild.

As for those lone wolves who are unwilling to be inferior to others, they naturally have to find another way out.

"Yanyu Tower is not here either..."

"Among the top 100 in Jiuzhou, the only one who has a little friendship with Yanyan is probably Bu Mei..."

"Could it be that Yanyan met Yanyu Tower on the road, so she just joined them first?!"

What needs to be added here is...

In order to prevent players from maliciously colluding and discussing tactics after going offline, the system allows players to go offline, but does not allow players to leave the game cabin.

OtherwiseWith the imagination of Chinese players, wouldn't they come up with a series of jaw-dropping operations?

And this is why Li Qianfan didn't leave the game cabin and went to knock on the door next door to ask Shen Jiayan about the situation.

Therefore, when he thought that Shen Jiayan had not heard from him yet, Li Qianfan subconsciously glanced at the time in the upper right corner.

If nothing unexpected happens, his main task tonight is to find someone.

It's 8:30 in the evening now.

It's not too late, and there's still a whole night to act, so after Li Qianfan roughly understood the surrounding environment, he continued to slowly explore the direction of the roots of the World Tree.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Everything was normal at the beginning.

Except for the quietness around that seemed to make people hear heartbeats, there seemed to be nothing abnormal.

However...

As the clock on the upper right panel suddenly jumped from 8:59 to 9 o'clock, an invisible sense of oppression suddenly spread like a tide, starting from the center of the World Tree and slowly spreading in all directions.

This is an intuition.

As a top master's intuition.

Or it can be said to be game awareness.

Even though Li Qianfan didn't notice anything unusual, he was still keenly aware of something wrong when the clock pointed to 9 o'clock, so he dodged and hid in the pile of debris beside him.

And not long after Li Qianfan hid in the pile of debris, a rustling sound came from the street not far away.

The sound sounded a bit like someone walking without lifting their feet, and both feet were sliding back and forth on the ground.

So when Li Qianfan heard the movement, he immediately held his breath and looked out carefully through the gap in the pile of debris.

The result was incredible.

Just now, he walked around the city for a long time without seeing any human figure. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a few scattered figures suddenly appeared on this street.

These people were moving slowly on the street.

The reason why they were described as moving was that their feet did not leave the ground at all.

If a normal person walked like this, it would probably take only a few miles before a big hole would be worn out in the shoes under their feet.

Therefore, the moment he saw these figures, a thought suddenly popped up in Li Qianfan's mind-

"Why do they look like zombies?"

"Is it a biochemical crisis?"

"It shouldn't be. How could the system come up with such an old-fashioned plot?"
