Global Trial

The white bear got up from the ground panting heavily, and there was an obvious bloodstain on the back of its neck.

"I admit defeat." He said in a thick voice, "Come with me."

When Bai Xiong passed by Ning Ge, Ning Ge said softly: "I need to find someone first."

"That young man beside you just now?" Bai Xiong also lowered his voice, "You know him very well? He looks...very weak. What's your relationship?"

"The best relationship." Ning Ge said lightly: "Tell me the place, and I will bring him here."

"Okay." Bai Xiong didn't seem to agree, "I don't know why you have the best relationship with him when he is so weak, you go to the office next to the lounge to find me, you know that place."

Bai Xiong touched the bloodstain on the back of his neck and felt a little pain.

Ninge whispered behind him: "He is not weak."

"he is great."

Xia Mingdong sat in the auditorium for a while. He felt that if Ning Ge wanted to ask something important, he would definitely call him, so he just waited.

Sure enough, Ning Ge patted him on the shoulder five minutes later and said, "Come with me."

Xia Mingdong followed Ning Ge, walked directly to the field where the fighters were, and followed the lounge to the office next to the lounge.

In the office, Ice Bear was treating the wound on his neck and nodded casually when he saw them come in.

Xia Mingdong closed the door casually, and found that Bai Xiong was looking him up and down with a strange look.

Xia Mingdong: "...Is there something wrong?"

"No." Bai Xiong shook his head, and said under Ninge's cold gaze: "Let's talk about the floating city, why are you so interested in the floating city?"

Xia Mingdong seemed to say casually: "People always yearn for higher places."

After hearing this, Bai Xiong shook his head solemnly, "I advise you not to go."

Xia Mingdong was silent for a moment, then asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Floating Void City...may not be a good place."

"more specific."

"Think about it..." Bai Xiong began to reason with them, "The Floating Void City has not cared about our life and death for so many years, and it looks like it is superior, and it requires us to work for them. This is clearly not a good person. Let us suck blood..."

Xia Mingdong smiled, "You are a sensible person."

Bai Xiong looked serious: "To be honest, I also want to go to Floating Void City, but Floating Void City has never looked down on us, and I won't have a good life if I go there, why don't I play a fighting arena here, I think this little Cats are very talented, how about..."

Ning Ge slowly took out the space sword.

Bai Xiong coughed violently a few times, and dared not say anything.

Xia Mingdong looked at Bai Xiong with a smile, "Actually, your explanation is perfect, but I don't quite believe it."

Bai Xiong was stunned for a moment, and the face that was supposed to be ferocious actually showed a bit of furry cuteness, "What do you mean?"

"It means... your explanation is full of loopholes." Xia Mingdong said slowly, "Let's be honest, after all, you don't want another cut in the back of your neck, right?"

Bai Xiong looked at Xia Mingdong seriously for a while, then suddenly turned to Ning Ge and said, "You're right."

Xia Mingdong: "?"

Bai Xiong: "He is really powerful."

Xia Mingdong laughed, and poked Ning Ge with his elbow: "Did you praise me in front of him?"

Ning Ge replied in a low voice: "Yes."

Xia Mingdong chuckled, "I didn't expect you to praise me so much."

Bai Xiong was speechless: "...do you still want to listen to what I have to say?"

"I want it." Xia Mingdong gestured, "Say it quickly."

"Oh, it's actually like this." Bai Xiong said in a low voice: "I also admire the second person who went to Floating Void City. His name is Hassan. Hassan is really talented. I advise him to stay. But he wanted to go to the floating city, and I didn't try to persuade him, I saw that he met the conditions and got on the plane to transport supplies."

"I was very worried about him. I purposely sneaked into the place where the plane was cleaning and transporting supplies in those few days. I saw a ring in the corner of the plane. It was a very small ring with some unique marks on it. I was in Haha on that ring. I saw it on San's finger, and Hassan said that he would never take off the ring unless he was dying, so I wondered if something happened to him."

Xia Mingdong thought for a while and asked, "Do you still keep that ring?"

Ice Bear took out the ring and handed it to them.

Xia Mingdong looked down and remembered the pattern on it, "Does he have any other news left?"

"Nothing."

Xia Mingdong looked at Bai Xiong seriously for a moment, then said softly: "I see, thank you."

The white bear's neck seemed to move.

"If I can go to Floating Void City, I will find a way to help you ask about Hassan."

Xia Mingdong said to Ning Ge: "Let's go first."

"Wait!" Ice Bear said suddenly.

Xia Mingdong looked at him questioningly.

"Are you...are you really going to Floating Void City?" Bai Xiong looked at them suspiciously, "How are you going to get there, and what do you want to do after you go?"

"I want to see what the Floating Void City is like, and why it keeps sucking blood..." Xia Mingdong said seriously, "Blood sucking us, and nature."

The expression on Ice Bear's face is complex, and it is difficult to make such an expression on a hairy face.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I went to clean the transport plane for a few days, and found a very small copper key on it."

Ice Bear rummaged through the drawer for a while, then handed them the key, "This is it."

Xia Mingdong took the key, carefully put it away, and thanked again.

Bai Xiong scratched his head, "Although I don't know anything else, I always feel that if you have a way to get to the floating city, it might be useful."

Xia Mingdong smiled: "I think it will be useful."

They were leaving Ice Bear's office.

When he walked to the door, Xia Mingdong suddenly looked back at Bai Xiong, and said something inexplicable: "I hope you can regain your freedom one day."

After Bai Xiong listened, he sat in the office in a daze for a long time, not knowing why the other party said he had no freedom.

But he felt in his heart that this sentence was true.

Xia Mingdong and the others saw Cen Heng and Ren Sheng outside the fighting arena, and Cen Heng walked over and said, "I saw three testers, two were together, and one was acting alone, it seems that they all came to the fighting arena to inquire about news. "

"I see." Xia Mingdong said without expression, "I also met two of them."

Cen Heng was taken aback, "God, are you okay?"

Xia Mingdong was speechless: "If I have something to do, can I still stand here and talk to you?"

Cen Heng: "...it seems to be the same."

"How is your side?" Cen Heng asked with concern, "Is the fighting arena okay, do you have any other clues?"

"There are quite a lot of clues." Xia Mingdong said, "But it's already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and we can prepare to pack up and head to the Floating Void City."

Cen Heng: "... are you going now?"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Mingdong finally felt a little bit of heat. He took off his coat and said, "What else? According to this cooling trend, the ground may even be around zero degrees in the daytime the day after tomorrow, and it will be more than ten degrees below zero in the daytime the day after tomorrow." Can you still make people stay?"

Cen Heng silently calculated, "It makes sense, let's leave quickly, what's wrong with the sky here, why was it normal in the afternoon when we arrived, but now it's getting colder and colder."

Xia Mingdong shook his head, "I don't know the specific reason yet, it's just a guess."

Cen Heng: "What guess?"

Xia Mingdong explained slowly: "Actually, it can be said that the heat on the earth comes from the sun. The sun's light produces photosynthesis, and plants absorb the heat to grow, and then follow the laws of the food chain in nature to eat them one by one. In the end, we eat all the food in our stomachs." The heat in it is actually the sun’s heat, but it has been transformed countless times and passed through countless food chains. The temperature we usually feel comes from the sun.”

"The heavy smog will only block part of the light, and it is difficult to reduce the sun's light and heat. This kind of situation where the temperature is very low during the day means that the sun's light and heat are weakening. Once the sun's heat continues to weaken, it will cause very serious damage. serious consequence."

Ren Sheng was also confused, and couldn't help asking: "What's the consequence?"

"Plants will wither if they don't receive light. If the earth has no light, the temperature will drop suddenly. It is said that when the sun is completely lost, the temperature of the earth will drop to more than minus 100 degrees. At this time, the temperature must be raised to a level acceptable to human beings. The energy required for the temperature is horrendous, and ... we're going to be without food, water, everything."

All reserves will disappear at a temperature of more than 100 below zero.

If the sun is lost, human life will enter the countdown.

Ren Sheng was stunned, with a dull expression on his face, "Ah, is that so? So the sun is so important, I never knew..."

Falling into Gu Mu's knowledge blind spot again.

Seeing the expression on Ren Sheng's face, Xia Mingdong couldn't help but smile, "Sun and air are the most equal gifts that nature bestows on everyone. If we lose these two gifts, we will not be able to survive."

Ren Sheng: "...that sounds scary."

"Yes, it's quite scary." Xia Mingdong replied in a deep voice: "So I don't know what the Floating Void City wants to do. Let's go to the place where supplies are transported first."

The materials are concentrated in the factory in the north of the city, and there is a flight at [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm every day for regular transportation.

Xia Mingdong calculated the time and felt that it was not very good.

"The temperature may drop below zero at eight o'clock in the evening..." He sighed, "We have to go to the mall to buy something."

"buy what?"

Cen Heng's question was quickly answered. Xia Mingdong and the others went to the shopping mall and found three large characters written in the most conspicuous place of the shopping mall's department store: It's getting hot soon.

It's also very expensive, [-] points each.

Oh, and a hot one can last twelve hours.

Cen Heng: "..."

This is really going back to the trial level from a very realistic city. The things in this level are too expensive, it's almost terrible.

When Xia Mingdong saw the price, his heart ached, and he said directly, "Buy twenty."

His heart is bleeding, the points are all hard-earned money, earned through blood and sweat...

Ahem, although he didn't bleed, he still sweated a lot.

Fortunately, everyone gathered the points together. They passed the second easter egg game of the assembled dungeon, and they still had a lot of points.

Cen Heng asked: "Why do you buy so many?"

"It's not too much." Xia Mingdong shook his head, "Be prepared, this place may be gone in a day."

"Oh, that's right." The salesperson who delivered Xia Mingdong said, "It's getting colder and colder now, and I don't plan to go to work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Cen Heng: "..."

Fortunately, I bought more.

With their gear ready, they headed towards the north of the city.

Trialists more or less have their own props, or to confuse people, or to transfer or float, and there will always be a way to get to the floating city.

If there is no way to go to the floating city, then the tester can also be eliminated in this level.

When they were about to reach the industrial base, they looked around and put on the invisibility cloak when they saw no one.

However, only the invisibility cloak is not enough. Xia Mingdong walked to the door and saw that there was an infrared scanning device installed at the door. Everyone who passed the door would be scanned by the infrared device in all directions.

"Garbage trial officer HS, take jujube pills." Xia Mingdong cursed the trial officer again, put a thermodynamically invisible clothes on his body, and was completely cold from the cold, his hands were shaking, and his teeth were chattering.

Now the sun has set, the temperature is gradually dropping, and the little heat left during the day is slowly disappearing. Xia Mingdong is so cold that he insists on waiting at the door for someone to open it, and then sneaks in.

Cen Heng's teeth were trembling, as if to distract his attention, he asked Xia Mingdong: "Fourth brother, how can the people who work here be willing to be cut off by the Floating Void City? Are they just so...dedicated?"

Cen Heng didn't seem to be able to find a suitable adjective, so he could only say that the other party was "dedication".

"Of course not." Xia Mingdong's cold voice was trembling, "No one is stupid, the reason why they do this may be because they can only do so, resources, wealth and weapons of mass destruction are gathered in the hands of a few people, They can't resist, the result of resistance is death, as for here..."

Xia Mingdong looked at the closed factory, the gray roof covered everything, it was closed indoors, it looked monotonous and bleak from the outside, and there were continuous noisy machine sounds inside.

"I'm afraid the people here can't do anything. Just from the appearance...the defense here is very strict, and it seems that no one can make the decision."

"But what should we do if the equipment here is broken?" Cen Heng raised this question, "If it breaks, the higher-ups won't be able to monitor it."

Xia Mingdong didn't know for the time being, he was almost too cold to speak.

The hand that had always been cold had held his hand at some point, but unexpectedly, the palm of the other party was a little warm.

Ninge said: "You are too cold, you will freeze."

Ning Ge's palm rubbed against Xia Mingdong's, conveying a little warmth, which was the only comfort in this shiveringly cold world.

"It's okay." Xia Mingdong took a deep breath, although he was still a little uncomfortable, but he didn't break free, "Someone will come out or go in soon. I just observed that people will come in and out basically every 10 minutes. They walked in hand in hand."

Cen Heng: "Why do you hold hands?"

"If we don't hold hands, none of us can see the other, and it's easy to get lost."

This is a fact, they can only reluctantly accept the matter of holding hands.

Oh, maybe Xia Mingdong and Ning Ge are not reluctant, they have already pulled on.

"Then pull it up now." Cen Heng counted the time, "It won't be long."

Cen Heng groped and wanted to pull Xia Mingdong's hand, Xia Mingdong's hand seemed to touch an ice cube, and couldn't help shouting: "It's really cold."

"Be patient for a while." Ning Ge, who was walking first, said in a low voice, "It will be fine soon."

"Well, I just said it casually..." Xia Mingdong was embarrassed to be comforted, "I'm not that delicate."

"Someone is coming!" Cen Heng said to them in a low voice.

Sure enough, they saw two exiles walking side by side, and they looked strange again. One of them had a particularly small head and a very large body, and the other had a huge belly.

Ning Ge took the lead, and they followed each other hand in hand, while the other party scanned all facial fingerprints and body data, and when the door opened, they quickly followed in.

Because he ran too fast, he also brought a gust of wind.

"Did you hear any sound?" asked the exile with a small head, "Why does it sound like there is wind?"

"You feel wrong, is it because it's too cold?" The big belly muttered: "I don't know what's going on, it's getting colder and colder these two days, and there's no explanation."

Xia Mingdong and the others managed to sneak in.
