Civilization Paradise

Chapter 162 A Sleepless Night (First Update)
At the same time, the giant mechanical pillars in the center of Star Tower City and Sin City also burst forth with brilliant light, shooting a colorful beam of light into the sky.

Three beams of light spread across the dark starry sky, creating an incredibly awe-inspiring scene.

Suddenly, the twinkling stars in the sky burst forth with dazzling light, then streaked across the sky like streaks of light, forming a beautiful meteor shower that fell upon the vast earth.

"Meteor shower?"

Long Ming murmured softly.

His mind was completely blank; he had no idea what was going on, and he felt increasingly uneasy and strange.

At this moment, the beam of light emanating from the mountain gradually diminished.

Of course, Long Ming thought everything would return to calm.

Rumble~
The entire mountain city was shaking, and the rental building where Long Ming lived was swaying violently.

"earthquake!"

Long Ming's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned and ran.

When he rushed out of the rented room, all the doors of the rented rooms in the corridor were open.

One by one, the tenants rushed out with their families, some still in their pajamas and barefoot.

But no one cared about anything else at that moment; they all rushed towards the stairs.

"Run quickly!"

One minute later.

Long Ming followed the crowd to the open space downstairs.

Soon, more and more residents came down, and the entire open space was crowded with people.

The crowd, still shaken, discussed the matter.

"What the hell? Why is there an earthquake all of a sudden?!"

"I don't know! I was so scared!"

Long Ming stood quietly in the crowd, suddenly feeling that something was wrong.

He turned his head to look around, but everything was normal, nothing was unusual, and the tremors were getting weaker and weaker.

But he quickly realized that something was wrong with the air!

The air tonight doesn't seem as polluted as before.

Long Ming looked up at the night sky again and suddenly felt that the night seemed brighter tonight.

At this moment, Lin Ying, the landlady, rushed over with her henchmen. When she saw that her building had not collapsed, she patted her proud chest and said with relief.

"Thank goodness my building didn't collapse, or I would be finished!"

Long Ming's lips twitched slightly upon hearing Lin Ying's words.

However, he didn't say anything. Instead, he took a few steps back, trying to get as far away from Lin Ying as possible.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

A squad of fully armed soldiers from the mountain city garrison ran over and shouted at Long Ming and the others.

"Everyone! A new administrative order has been issued at the foot of Yamashiro Mountain, placing the area on Level 1 alert and temporarily imposing a curfew. Please go home immediately!"

"Ah, going home?"

"There's an earthquake right now."

Everyone present was stunned. They had finally managed to run down, and now they were being told to go back.

"The earthquake is over. We will handle any problems that may arise. Now, everyone, please obey orders and go home immediately. Do not linger outside, or you will be detained for disobeying public order!"

The team leader was very determined.

"Okay, let's go home."

Although the people present were very dissatisfied after hearing this, they still obeyed the order and headed towards their respective buildings.

Long Ming didn't say anything and just followed the crowd toward the building.

hum~
Just then, his phone vibrated, and a series of public information from Shanchengshan popped up.

"Urgent Notice: Shancheng Mountain has entered a state of high alert and all checkpoints leading out of the city have been closed."

"Urgent Notice: A temporary curfew has been imposed in Shancheng Mountain. The curfew will last until 6:00 AM."

Long Ming glanced at it and then turned off the screen.

After a while.

Long Ming returned to the rented room, went into the bedroom, and sat down at the computer desk.

He refreshed the Civilization Paradise forum interface.

Millions of posts flooded the screen. "Brothers, did you see that? A beam of light shot out from the mountain!"

"Tch, what's so great about it? Star Tower City has the same thing."

"As if we in Sin City don't have any."

"Oh no? You all have them!"

"What's the purpose of this light? It can't be for a festival, can it?"

Who knows?

"By the way, why did a meteor shower suddenly appear?"

"I don't know, the observatory didn't predict a meteor shower today."

"It wasn't just a meteor shower, the worst part was the earthquake."

"I was so scared that I ran downstairs without even putting on my underwear."

"Never mind that for now, Civilization Paradise has shut down. Does anyone know when the game will reopen?"

"Yeah, this game is such a rip-off. It shuts down so easily without giving any warning."

Looking at the posts from everyone, Long Ming shook his head slightly; not a single word they said was of any value.

However, at this moment, a post was pushed to the top.

Long Ming subconsciously clicked on the post, only to find a video recording inside. He then clicked on the video.

A young man in protective gear was seen speeding across the plains on a mountain bike, while a shooting star streaked across the sky and crashed to the ground in the distance.

Long Ming was also very surprised to see this; he didn't expect that someone would actually chase after a shooting star.

"666, awesome!"

"Please update the sequel soon!"

Many people left comments below the post.

Long Ming was also very interested and patiently waited for the other party to update the video.

About twenty minutes later, the poster updated with another video.

He stood in front of a small mechanical pillar, his face filled with shock as he spoke.

"Everyone, this mechanical pillar is something that fell from a meteor. Doesn't it look like the mechanical pillar in the City of Stars?"

"And when I touched this mechanical pillar just now, I received something incredible. Can you guess what it was?"

"That's right, it's the bracelet from the game."

The man excitedly picked up the bracelet and showed it to the camera.

Upon seeing the bracelet, Long Ming immediately stood up from his chair, staring intently at it to confirm its authenticity.

At this moment, countless comments were being refreshed in the post.

"Damn, there's a limit to lying. Are you trying to make a fool of us?!"

"Yeah, what kind of bracelet is this! I think they're just obsessed with playing games."

"that is!"

Upon seeing this, Long Ming's brows furrowed even more.

At this moment, the man in the video spoke excitedly.

"Everyone, let me try it out for you and see if this bracelet is real."

The man tapped the bracelet, and an automatic rifle immediately appeared in his hand as a projection.

He gripped his automatic rifle, fired a few shots into the sky, and shouted excitedly.

"It's true! Haha!"

The entire post immediately went viral.

"No way, is this special effects?"

"Special effects? Bullshit! This is real!"

"So what's going on?"

"Isn't Civilization Paradise a game? Why are the things in it real?"

Countless players left enthusiastic comments.

Long Ming remained silent upon seeing this, and then closed the post.
