Quarantine zone...

It is indeed so. This area on the southwest side of the map is a misty gray, with notes explaining that this is the quarantine zone.

The man spoke to himself, "Back when the Slaughter Game was still held, that Gu Mian got matched into it—the Upper Class People certainly didn't know his name, the wanted notice still listed him as the fugitive No.9 from the forbidden zone;

"I digress, after Gu Mian got matched into it, who knows what he did, the forbidden zone collapsed, and the monsters inside were released. The Upper Class People in this world had to spend quite a bit of effort to lock those monsters in an area. Look, it's the dark area on the map, near where the forbidden zone used to be."

Indeed, Gu Mian found the address "Kuangcheng City" in the quarantine zone, which is the city that was in the forbidden zone originally.

At this point, the man suddenly sighed.

Gu Mian looked up at him, expecting the man to start telling a story.

It's like an NPC in an online game with a question mark above its head, you click on it, and it starts giving you a quest.

Sure enough, two seconds after the sigh, the man began to explain—

"Originally, our street was not here, it was in the place you mentioned, Evil Eastern Valley, but that damn Gu Mian destroyed the forbidden zone, and the wandering monsters there fled to our place. We had to move the whole street here in a hurry, leaving a lot of property behind." The man spoke with a pained expression.

No wonder he has a street stall here, turns out he can't afford to rent a house.

"Everyone on this street is like me, didn't bring much with them, now they can't even pay the rent and are looking for work at Crazy Game City." The man said and pointed towards a toy shop, "That shop has over ten employees, they had to go to Game City to hand out flyers because they couldn't pay the rent."

Gu Mian looked over and saw that the toy shop was called "Twelve Twelve Happy Playmates"

He awkwardly turned his head away, embarrassedly chuckling twice to express sympathy.

"The five locations I mentioned aren't far from here, right?" After feeling embarrassed for two seconds, Gu Mian asked about business matters.

On the map, it didn't seem far, but considering that it's a quarantine zone, going there might encounter some obstacles.

Unexpected obstacles might delay him six days, and while dear Lu Yi croaks, he's still on the way delivering packages.

Oh, correction, now there are only five days left.

"Very close, if you drive that car, you can go back and forth from here to there a dozen times in one day. It's easy to get in too; reportedly, the Upper Class People used several pieced-together statues to block those monsters, there are no walls or anything, you can just walk right in, or even run."

Piecemeal statues.

It should be the shattered and glued back together Evil God statue, last time Lu Yi mentioned it in the Circus instance, the Upper Class People found countless identical Evil God statue fragments and a complete one in a cave in the forest.

The world leaders even deduced from these fragments that this world had undergone countless reboots.

Last time in a rush, Lu Yi didn't mention the location of that complete Evil God statue.

"Oh, right, the Secret Forest you asked about, reportedly has a complete, undamaged statue. When the monsters invaded, the Upper Class People tried to remove the statue but somehow failed. Monsters in the quarantine zone dare not approach the vicinity of the Secret Forest, possibly fearing that statue." The man seemed like a diligent plot pusher, starting to advance the plot.

Gu Mian paused, staring at the man in front of him for a while.

The man became a bit guilty under Gu Mian's gaze, retreating a few steps while touching his chin: "What are you doing... suddenly with that expression..."

"Hey""Hey""Hey" The machine dog nearby kept issuing an impolite "hey" sound at the man.

Gu Mian stuffed the puppy back into the car shed, looking at the man again, "Nothing, just felt like you are really hoping I'd go to the quarantine zone."

"What absurdity, not speaking further with you, I'm closing the stall." The man grabbed a nearby flag with three long and two short stripes and hurriedly ran away, turning his head to look at Gu Mian with a gaze that was akin to looking at a mental patient.

By now, the sun had set, Gu Mian looked at the map and planned for a bit.

If everything goes smoothly, he can reach the quarantine zone in half an hour, the five package addresses are very close together, at most half an hour upon arrival to deliver all five packages.

But now, the most important thing is not the packages.

The man earlier said there's a complete Evil God statue in the Secret Forest, Gu Mian is most concerned about that.

The complete Evil God statue...

It's not like the fake ones he's seen before, it can resist the world's reboot, as the whole world goes back, that statue steadfastly moves towards the future.

Currently, the Seventh World is teetering, unsure when Xingyun might perish.

When the Seventh World completely collapses, the Earth's curse will spread from there, reaching all worlds.

By then, Chu Changge, Xiao Qiao, Xiao Hong, Liu Ruyan would collectively perish.

Gu Mian began to imagine Fatty weeping and wailing at a grave, though this time in front of a row of gravestones.

If the Evil God statue can ignore the world's reboots, maybe it can also prevent the Earth's curse from spreading—though the likelihood isn't high.

If the statue is really that useful, Xingyun would snatch it to Paradise.

Whatever the case, such an impressive statue must have some use.

Gu Mian decided to explore the Secret Forest, maybe there'd be surprises.

Time is of the essence, Gu Mian picked up a compass, glanced at it, then drove towards the southwest, where the quarantine zone is.

There are certainly plenty of monsters in the quarantine zone, fortunately, he brought his chainsaw along this time.

The machine dog previously stuffed back into the car shed struggled, poking its head out again, starting a questionnaire survey.

At dusk, amidst repeated "Are you happy?" Gu Mian sped up, racing towards the deserted area.

[Fatty]: Brother Chu and 007 meet, the doctor hasn't spoken for a day and a night, could he be in danger!

The ten-person group chat was filled with Fatty's annoying chatter.

Having met at Game City, Chu Changge and 007 ignored Fatty's chatter, focusing on studying flyers.

Chu Changge looked while saying, "I got this flyer from the Upper Class People's residential area."

"You went into the Upper Class People's residential area?" 007 was a bit surprised.

"With this." Chu Changge pointed to his chest, a badge was pinned there.

This badge changed Chu Changge's player nickname to "Meiren Chu," it could also alter the user's appearance, but only once per day, each change lasting thirty minutes.

Chu Changge transformed into an Upper Class man and wandered around in the Upper Class People's residential area, obtaining this flyer.

It's about that game show.

007 looked at the large title at the top of the flyer—

"'Judgement and Crown' Season One is Coming Soon"
