Countless buildings shattered and crumbled, the ground trembled, and like a destructive force, they plummeted into the bottomless abyss, accompanied by terrified screams from the people.

"Waaaaah..." The men guarding the door couldn't help but cry, and then more and more suppressed, painful, and unrestrained sobs followed.

"Why did this happen? How could this happen? How are we supposed to live like this?!"

Is our world really over...?

"Dead, dead, dead, dead, haha, it's good to be dead, anyway, the whole world will be buried with me!"

"Damn it, I don't want to die!"

"The world is like this, living is just suffering, it's better to be dead!"

"Can't we go back to the way things were? I'll never say ' The Doomsday is ending' again!"

"..."

People inside the subway were also awakened by the tremors and tried to escape in a panic. However, because there were so many people, even the slightest movement caused crowding, blockages, and stampedes. For a time, the entire subway station was filled with panic.

"Earthquake? Is it an earthquake? It's an earthquake, everyone run!"

"Run! Waaaaah! Run!"

"Where can we run to? There's no room for anyone to stand outside! Where can we run to!"

Just then, a loudspeaker announced, "No earthquake! No earthquake! Everyone, please remain calm and don't panic! Keep in formation, everyone keep in formation!"

The survivors were terrified, their eyes wide in the darkness as they felt the ground trembling more and more violently.

"The ground is shaking so violently, what else could it be but an earthquake? What's going on outside?"

"Holy crap, the weightlessness isn't over yet! Even if we escape, we're still going to die!"

"..."

The gang leaders from more than a dozen subway stations ran out of the subway and were stunned when they saw the scene outside. They were speechless for a moment.

"Holy crap, this game world is amazing!" A new Player swallowed hard. "It's not only realistic, but the special effects are more stunning than any blockbuster I've ever seen!"

Another Player said, "No, I saw a post before saying that these game worlds might actually be parallel worlds that existed in reality. It's just that the Black Hole Game used some method to let us travel through them as Player."

"Damn, no matter what the truth is, this scene is absolutely stunning! Even movies wouldn't dare to film something like this!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! This isn't a movie, this is reality! We're going to die, the whole world is going to end! If the world is gone, even if you're a superhuman, you'll still die! Aaaaaah, we're all going to die!"

"No, I'm sorry, please calm down. This Doomsday wasn't caused by me, yelling at me won't help..."

"..."

Ye Zhao glanced at the group and, judging from their conversation, knew that there were quite a few Player among them. He quickly activated his skill to Scan them.

[ Scan successful: Can create 1 Lightweight Boots, requires 100 Creation Point.]

[ Lightweight Boots: Reduce the Gravity Control you feel by 30%. Durability: 100.]

These shoes seem pretty good. Reducing the Gravity Control of gravity means she'll be lighter and able to run faster, right? Especially now that she's in weightlessness, the lighter the better.

Ye Zhao planned to go to the restroom to change her shoes, but unfortunately, the restroom still had a terrible stench. Although it had been sealed with cement long ago, the backflow of odor was still difficult to eliminate, and it was really filthy inside...

She stood at the door for a while and then gave up. Oh well, there's no rush now.

The chaos continued until dawn. The initial tremors may have been caused by buildings detaching from the ground, but as more and more buildings detached, the tectonic plates and the moon's gravity began to change, eventually leading to real earthquakes. Fortunately, the earthquakes at this time were not very large, but the occasional tremors still made the survivors feel uneasy and unable to sleep.

Ye Zhao took out her protective Helmet from her backpack and put it on. She then took out an oxygen cylinder, held it to her chest, and began to carefully inhale the oxygen. Her mind was racing. Given the current situation, once the weightlessness ended, those skyscrapers that had been separated from Earth would return to Blue Star. At that time, it would be a catastrophic disaster for them hiding underground!

Many survivors quickly put on the makeshift helmets they had made from clothes and bed sheets, their eyes wide with fear as they stared at the dark night outside.

As dawn broke and the sun rose.

Day 8 of entering the game.

Ye Zhao stood at the subway entrance, looking out at the world that seemed to have been cleaned. It was spotless, with nothing left. The skyscrapers, the magnificent and beautiful buildings, the structures that had witnessed human history, had all vanished. The ground was so clean that it was as if nothing had ever existed. All that could be seen was an endless expanse of openness, vastness, and desolation.

That's terrifying.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh again, this kind of power from nature and the universe, which humanity simply could not resist, was truly terrifying.

"What's going on outside? Let me see, let me see..."

"Waaaaah! It's all gone! All the buildings are gone! Gone!"

"Before, I kept hoping the weightlessness would end quickly, but now I hope it never ends, otherwise if those buildings that were sucked in fall down, we'll definitely be crushed to death!"

"How scary, how scary!"

"To those who have already seen it, could you let those of us who are coming up take a look too...?"

The once-silent subway station came alive. Ye Zhao consciously squeezed back, made room, and sat down facing the wall. Feeling many people walking back and forth behind her, she took out a piece of bread from her backpack and started eating it, which served as her breakfast.

While eating, she didn't forget to Scan, hoping to Scan game items she didn't have.

"Ah! My house, the house I bought for three million! Gone, all gone--"

"You're lucky you can even survive if you give me back my house!"

"Oh my god, now that the above-ground buildings are gone, is the next step underground?"

"..."

Yes, the next step will definitely be underground.

Ye Zhao's most pressing task right now is to find a suitable opportunity to ascend to heaven.

She finished the bread in a few bites, closed her eyes, and used her Prophet Skill, hoping to see something useful.

[Using Prophet Skill, current Prophet level 1, skill duration: 10s.]

The scenes depicted in the Prophet's images are still extremely terrifying.

Especially in the absence of weight, the earthquakes become more intense, the ground cracks, and volcanoes erupt.

Screams, despair.

Countless survivors lay on the ground, barely alive, struggling to escape, but with nowhere to run, only able to let out painful, desperate screams and cries...

"Ah!!" As one person screamed and clutched their ear, countless others screamed and clutched their ears, and bright red blood flowed from their ears.

"I can't hear you, I can't hear you..."

"Help! Someone, please save us..."

System: [ Prophet Skill usage expired.]

The [ Prophet ] skill has turned gray.
