So far, he still hasn't figured out what the goal of his group in this single-player copy is. Not to mention the book itself, the system itself doesn't give any prompts. They all have to rely on themselves. groping.
But no matter what, ensuring survival is the first priority.
What will happen tomorrow...
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 610 Chapter 602 This is a substitute attack! !
Since he didn't have much sleepiness, Bai Zhi sat on a chair all night. At the beginning of dawn, a layer of white mist rose from the street outside.
It was very common for fog to form in the early morning, so Bai Zhi didn't take the fog to heart at first, but soon he realized something was wrong.
As time goes by, the fog not only shows no intention of dissipating, but becomes thicker and thicker, and the visibility becomes lower and lower. Things dozens of meters away cannot be seen clearly, and strands of fog even begin to pass through the door. It escaped towards the room through the cracks.
"Did you come so quickly..."
Bai Zhi stood up from the chair and frowned slightly as he looked at the white mist swirling outside the window.
Although he had expected it in his heart, he never expected that the disaster would come so unexpectedly.
"Get up if you're awake, we should go."
While sorting some things in the house, Bai Zhi spoke casually to the back.
Hitomi had woken up more than an hour ago, but she had been pretending to be asleep and watching him secretly.
Bai Zhi was quite indifferent to the opponent's small actions. After all, it was normal to be wary.
But now, they don't have any extra time to waste time here.
Although last night, Bai Zhi had thought about escaping from this town before the disaster struck, but after some thinking, Bai Zhi gave up this idea.
It would be more dangerous in the wilderness. He might be able to protect himself if he was alone, but he was not sure enough to protect Hitomi. Dark night was not only the time when monsters came out to be active, it was also the time when ghost stories were most active. when.
Moreover, he has no experience at all, and has no clear understanding of the dangers in the wilderness. Driving a car and taking Hitomi into the wilderness at night is no different from seeking death.
Secondly, he had no relevant information about the disaster. He didn’t even know where the disaster came from. Not only did he not escape the disaster, but he plunged into it and surrendered himself...
"..."
After a moment of silence, Hitomi lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.
Not paying attention to the slight noise coming from behind, Bai Zhi walked to the door, reached out and opened the door a small crack.
A moment later, a mouse with more than a dozen disgusting tumors on its body quickly rushed into the door.
In one night, Bai Zhi didn't do anything. Using the food he obtained from the Wild Wolf Gang, he made deals with some small animals, such as corpse rats and cockroaches.
These small animals are also living entities and can naturally communicate with them.
However, after a moment, Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly as he listened to the stuttering and intermittent words of the corpse rat in front of him.
The house in the center of town is empty.
In other words, the players in this town had fled a day or two ago.
In other words, they were not the only ones who escaped. The so-called boss of the Wild Wolf Gang who took most of the power to run the business road also escaped in advance in this name. The hyenas and others who stayed there were all Abandoned existence.
No wonder no one came to cause trouble last night...
Looking at the fog outside that became thicker and thicker with the passage of time, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Dismissing the corpse rat with a piece of cheese, he turned around and came to Hitomi, and started talking straight to the point.
"It's very dangerous outside now. We have to hurry up and get out of here. Do you want me to hold you or let me carry you?"
When he burned down the factory yesterday, he did not move the cars outside. There should be many hunters in the city. If they want to leave the city, they will definitely focus there in order to find suitable means of transportation.
Leaving with the hunters who are experienced in surviving in the wilderness is the best choice at the moment.
Three minutes later, with Hitomi wearing a mask and hat on his back, [Glory] slipped silently into his hands, Bai Zhi walked out of the door, and a thick fog hit him.
This inexplicable mist that suddenly appears carries a chilling and cold aura, as if it can penetrate into a person's limbs and bones, making people shiver uncontrollably, as if the temperature of the surrounding air has suddenly dropped. More than ten degrees.
However, Bai Zhi had some foresight, so before setting off, he specially asked Hitomi to add several layers of clothes to his body, thinking that there should be no problem in being able to withstand the fog.
At this time, the entire street has been filled with thick white fog, and it is difficult to see clearly from a little distance away. However, Bai Zhi's memory is very good, so there is no need to worry about getting lost.
However, during the march, Bai Zhi's expression became more and more solemn, and in the end, his steps stopped.
—Now, there is no need to go there.
Although the visibility was very poor, he could still see some people in the fog. These people also discovered the abnormality. Some chose to hide at home and block the doors and windows to wait for the disaster to pass, while others were just like him. , and also targeted a dozen off-road vehicles from the Wild Wolf Gang.
But besides that, there is another type of people.
Bai Zhi's eyesight was very good, so he saw more scenes in the fog than others, so he clearly saw the miserable condition of those people.
—The bodies of those people merged with the surrounding objects.
These people either had half of their bodies integrated into a wall, or their bodies sank into the floor. To exaggerate, there were even several people in a certain house whose heads were swallowed, but their bodies kept moving. Struggling, looking quite curious
It is the fusion between the living body and the non-living body. Once the contact time between the two is a little longer, the non-living body will become a part of the living body.
To describe it in specific words, it’s like the Angelo Rock in JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure.
—So this is a stand-in attack.
There were clearly wailing sounds all around, but they were all swallowed up by the thick fog, creating a real scene of hell.
The only good thing is that the clothes he wore before the thick fog appeared did not seem to be planned as an inanimate body that could be integrated with himself.
"..."
After exhaling a little breath, Bai Zhi lowered his head and looked at his right hand. He was holding a silver-white pistol tightly in his hand.
"Is it determined by direct contact with the body's skin? If you press your palm on the door or the table, your body will gradually merge with the table... "
Bai Zhi put his left hand into his cuff and used his clothes to cover it. Bai Zhi used his left hand to pull off the [Glory] on his right hand. When a layer of bloody skin was pulled off, the severe pain as if the limb had been amputated was clearly felt. into his mind.
In the short period of time before, [Glory] had already assimilated with his right hand.
-His current behavior is no different from cutting off five fingers on his own initiative.
Volume One: The Gap between Illusion and Reality: Chapter 611 Chapter 603 The copy is reopened, another choice
"Try to avoid contact between the body's skin and inanimate objects..."
Squinting his eyes slightly, shaking his bloody palm, Bai Zhi put [Glory] back into his backpack without changing his expression.
In this case, don't even think about driving, otherwise you will just wait to merge with the car, so there is no point in continuing to go there.
So now, where are you going
Turning his head slightly, Bai Zhi glanced at Hitomi, who was lying on his back and hugging his neck tightly without saying a word.
The other party has been quite quiet from beginning to end. She hasn't said a word since she woke up in the morning until now.
After a moment of thinking, Bai Zhi put the other person down from his back, and then held him in his arms with one hand.
"Look behind you for me."
After saying this, without any intention of getting an answer from the other party, Bai Zhi hugged the other party and ran in the opposite direction from where he came.
"..."
Holding Bai Zhi's neck with both hands, he looked at the thickening white mist behind and around him, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
This kind of fog that permeates the entire city is a ghost story in itself, and can inflict stand-in attacks on everyone within the scope of the ghost story... But Bai Zhi doesn't think this is the reason for those players to escape.
It is actually very simple to avoid the influence of this strange story. Just wrap your whole body tightly before the mist comes to prevent your skin from coming into contact with inanimate things from the outside.
So according to Bai Zhi's inference, there should be something more terrifying in the fog...
As time went by, the fog became thicker, and Bai Zhi's perspective was forced to be a few meters away, which forced him to choose to slow down his pace.
If he accidentally bumped into something, the bloody right hand would be a reminder, and from time to time in the mist, several people would stumble out.
Some of them either had a knife or a wooden stick stuck in their hands, or they had a stone stuck in their bodies. The most terrifying thing Bai Zhi had ever seen among them was a man who had been stripped naked by others. People who have thrown their clothes into the garbage.
At that time, the other party's body was so weird and infiltrating that even if he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little bit hairy.
The increasingly low visibility, as well as the crowds that would scream and rush out of the fog from time to time, greatly slowed down his movement speed.
What's more, among these people, there are still some who give up on themselves and want to maliciously drag others into the water
… This was the case with the person he had seen lying in the garbage heap before.
In addition, there are some people who maliciously throw things everywhere in the fog, but fortunately [Beat Doll] is still firmly playing its role, throwing away all the objects flying towards him. mocked the past.
In this desperate environment, the malicious nature of human nature is clearly revealed.
—But that wasn’t what made Bai Zhi feel defensive.
The more time passed, the more he felt the temperature around him drop and the air become stagnant, as if something terrifying was about to come.
In addition, Hitomi seemed to sense something, and her hands unconsciously hugged his neck tightly, as if facing an invincible superior predator. Bai Zhi could clearly feel the other person's body moving slightly. trembling.
But where Bai Zhi didn't notice, Tong had a look of pain on her face, biting her lips tightly, and strands of blood flowed from her mouth.
In fact, she was not the only one. Everyone in this town who was shrouded in fog, except Bai Zhi, had a look of pain on their faces, and there seemed to be some strange voice echoing in their minds. .
Hitomi was the one who was most affected among these people.
"It can't go on like this..."
He didn't notice anything unusual about the girl in his arms. He stopped and looked at the thick fog in front of him, where the visibility had shrunk to less than one meter. Bai Zhi frowned fiercely.
"Crash..."
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came faintly from the depths of the thick fog.
It was like a thick iron chain being dragged along the ground. The sounds became more and more numerous, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand...
By the end, the thick fog was filled with the sound of chains being dragged.
In the midst of the overwhelming sound of the iron chains being dragged, a hazy, huge black shadow that seemed to be pulled forward by these iron chains slowly emerged from the depths of the thick fog...
"You can use it as a side dish... What the hell?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the huge hazy black shadow, and frowned slightly.
At this moment, a thick chain suddenly and silently stretched out from the mist and rushed towards Bai Zhi.
[Beat Doll] faithfully performed its duty and mocked the chain, but at the next moment, the invisible [Beat Doll] was tied up by the iron chain and dragged towards the mist. .
Even Bai Zhi himself did not expect such a sudden change. In the blink of an eye, the "beaten doll" who had been guarding him was dragged into the mist and disappeared.
Then, in Bai Zhi's perception, the durability of the "Beat Doll" dropped rapidly. After a few seconds, it dropped to zero, and it automatically returned to his backpack.
"This thing can still be used like this..."
He only had time to sigh a little in his mouth. Looking at the hundreds of chains that appeared in the mist, Bai Zhi didn't care about sighing anymore. He quickly got up and went to the nearest house and kicked him. He opened the door and rushed in, then closed the door with a backhand kick.
In the thick fog outside, the sound of "clatter" was still heard, and there were no one knew how many chains were passing through the fog.
"This thing is impossible to fight..."
Looking at the white scene outside, Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a slight toothache.
He still knows how much beating the [Beat Doll] can take. It had been beaten so many times by the librarian in the library maze, and then at least hundreds of shots. In this way, its durability has only declined. to 100 o'clock.
But just a few seconds after being dragged into the thick fog by the chain, all the remaining 900 points of durability were exhausted... This is so fucking outrageous.
And just when Bai Zhi was thinking about what to do next, Tong, who was held in his arms, suddenly started struggling.
"What's wrong?"
Bai Zhi frowned slightly and put the other person down.
"Remember, don't touch..."
Before he finished his sentence, Bai Zhi couldn't help but froze.
The eyes of the girl in front of her had turned dark at some point, and the expression on her face was quite painful. It seemed that she was trying her best to suppress something, and her lips were almost bitten by herself.
"..."
After raising her head and glancing at him, Hitomi suddenly turned around and ran towards the door.
Seeing this scene, Bai Zhi reached out and grabbed the opponent's hand almost subconsciously. Then the next moment, the bone spurs that protruded from the opponent's hand pierced his palm.
The opponent's body was moving strangely up and down, and his whole body began to twist and deform, with bones piercing the skin and sticking out of the body... Some kind of extremely terrifying distortion seemed to be happening to the opponent's body.
"Let go...let me leave...you will die..."
