Chapter 419 Seed of Nightmare

However, when Suning was about to go out to explore the dungeon at night, she realized that the Nightmare Town during the day was completely different from the town at night.

After nightfall, the whole town was shrouded in an invisible black fog, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Suning looked out the window.

The street lights are dim and the light flickers.

What surprised Suning was that the buildings in the distance appeared distorted in the darkness, like monsters staring at her hungrily.

What made Suning even more uneasy was that the "parents" in this nightmare town actually had to go out to work at night.

Going to work? You must be kidding.

This made Suning feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.

During the day, they behaved like ordinary parents, caring about her diet and daily life, and even reminding her not to go out at night.

But at night, they seemed to be controlled by some force. They put on their work clothes with expressionless faces, walked out of the house mechanically, and disappeared at the end of the dark street.

Before leaving, he also told Suning not to leave home.

This made Suning even more confused, but it was impossible for Suning to just stay at home.

Look out at the night.

"What's going on? Is this instance more dangerous at night?"

Through the window, Suning saw the indigenous people walking out of various buildings with expressionless faces, as if being pulled by some invisible force, with stiff and orderly steps, all heading in the same direction.

Their eyes were empty and their faces were expressionless, as if they had lost their souls, with only their bodies moving mechanically.

There was a strange atmosphere in the streets, and the moonlight shone through the thick clouds, casting a pale halo over the entire town.

At this moment, Zhang Li also walked out of her house. Her steps were light but with a hint of vigilance.

She looked up at Su Ning, a hint of uneasiness flashing in her eyes, and whispered, "Su Ning, have you noticed that this instance has completely changed at night?"

Suning nodded, his eyes still fixed on the natives who were gradually moving away.

She felt an oppressive atmosphere in the air, as if the entire copy was in deep sleep and being controlled by some force.

Suning responded in a low voice, "Indeed, the town is eerie during the day, but at least there's a hint of life. But at night, it's like it's shrouded in some kind of nightmare, completely devoid of life."

"Also, I don't know why, but the longer I stay in this dungeon, the more uncomfortable I feel, as if all my energy has been sucked out of me." Zhang Li took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Suning didn't have this feeling. She had the talent of self-healing and could restore herself.

However, Zhang Li's information also reminded Suning that Nightmare Town was definitely not as simple as she had imagined.

Zhang Li clenched her weapon and said, "Although we sense danger, this also provides us with time to explore. During the day, we can't show much difference, but at night, they seem to have completely lost consciousness and only care about walking in that direction. We may be able to take this opportunity to go out and explore this survival copy."

Suning nodded: "That's right, then let's take this opportunity to explore this nightmare town."

The two looked at each other and reached a tacit consensus.

They walked out of the house carefully and blended into the night.

The streets were quiet, with only the mechanical footsteps of the indigenous people echoing.

The two followed behind these people.

Su Ning and Zhang Li tried their best to avoid their sight and moved forward along the shadows, trying to find some valuable clues.

Of course, they are not the only two players who have this idea.

Zhang Li suddenly whispered, "Suning, check the chat channel! Someone seems to have discovered that there are many factories in Nightmare Town, and these natives are heading towards the factories."

Suning quickly opened the chat channel and saw a striking message: "The Nightmare Town survival dungeon is much larger than we imagined. There are many factories here, and it seems that the natives in the dungeon have to go there to work at night!"

Zhang Li's eyes flashed with excitement: "It seems that there is a big problem with this factory."

Suning nodded, a serious look in his eyes. "However, since someone has already discovered the factory, other players will definitely flock here. Let's look for some useful things around here, and then slowly explore the factory."

Suning also told Zhang Li about some items with special effects that he found at home.

Zhang Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, especially when Su Ning mentioned that these items were discovered through her "Scrap Scavenging Eyes" talent. Zhang Li couldn't help but sigh, "Your talent is truly enviable. You can actually see so many things that I can't. If I had this ability, I might have found even more useful things a long time ago."

Suning smiled and didn't say much.

She knew Zhang Li's envy was genuine, but talent was something you couldn't find by chance. Su Ning patted Zhang Li on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go. Time waits for no one. While it's still safe, let's quickly collect some useful things."

The two walked cautiously, and the street was still filled with a strange atmosphere.

From time to time, there were some shrill screams coming from the distance, as if something terrible was wandering in the darkness.

Suning and Zhang Li held their weapons tightly in their hands and watched the movements around them vigilantly.

When Zhang Li wasn't paying attention, Suning quietly released zombie No. 1 and others from the scavenger backpack.

These zombies have been specially modified by Suning, and each one is equipped with a [Scrap Picking Pocket] that can automatically collect items around it.

Suning gave them instructions through the mental link, asking them to help collect all useful things, whether it was garbage or other items, as long as they could be taken away, they would be collected.

Suning knew that the real First Shelter was preparing to build a large shelter in Longhu Wetland Park, and a wide variety of supplies were needed.

She could use these collected materials to trade with the shelter in exchange for more resources and intelligence.

Thinking of this, the corners of Suning's mouth rose slightly, and he felt more confident.

At the same time, Zhang Li seemed to have sensed some changes.

She looked down at her feet and felt a warm power coming from the soles of her feet.

Only then did she remember that she had previously obtained the talent of "Heart of the Earth" from Suning.

At this moment, this innate power began to work within her body, making her feel her body became lighter and her strength increased.

Zhang Li clenched her fists, feeling the power surging in her body, and suddenly felt more confident.

She turned to Suning and said, "Suning, it would be a waste for us to act together. It would be more efficient if we act separately."

Suning didn't refuse, nodded and said, "Okay, just be careful."

Zhang Li smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, my life is very important. I won't put myself in danger easily."

After the two separated, Suning felt a sense of relief.

Acting alone did make her feel more comfortable, allowing her to use her talents and abilities without any scruples.

She moved quickly through the streets, her scavenging eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment, looking for valuable items.

At the same time, Zhang Li was heading in another direction.

She felt warm energy coming from the ground beneath her feet, as if the earth was providing her with endless strength.

She gripped the weapon tightly in her hand, her heart filled with confidence.

She knew that she was no longer the weak person who could only rely on others, but she truly possessed the strength to fight.

In the night, the two figures gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Suning walked alone through the narrow alleys. The cobblestones under his feet were slippery and cold, and the air was filled with a smell of decay.

Suning's "Eyes of Scavenging" flickered faintly in the darkness, constantly scanning the surrounding environment, looking for any possible clues or dangers.

Suddenly, Suning's eyes fixed on a dilapidated building not far away.

It was a seemingly abandoned clinic with a rickety sign hanging at the door with the words "Nightmare Clinic" blurred on it.

Suning first went to the [Nightmare Town Special Effect Inhibitor] he found at home. Perhaps the clinic or hospital could obtain more special medicines.

There is another idea. Suning feels that there may be a solution to his own toxicity problem hidden here.

"You can go inside and take a look."

Suning carefully pushed open the door of the clinic. The door hinges squeaked harshly, as if warning her not to enter.

The sound was particularly harsh in the silent night, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

A cold breath came from the crack of the door, as if something was peeping at her in the darkness.

Suning held his breath, tightly gripped the flaming dagger in his hand, and walked slowly into the clinic.

The inside of the clinic was dim, with only a few rays of pale moonlight filtering in through the broken windows, barely illuminating the surroundings.

The air was filled with a strong smell of medicine and decay, which mixed together and made people feel nauseous.

Suning's "scavenging eyes" flickered slightly in the darkness, helping her quickly adapt to the light here.

Suning looked around and found that the walls of the clinic were covered with old medical instruments, the counters were piled with broken bottles and jars, and some yellowed papers and discarded bandages were scattered on the ground.

Before Su Ning could observe further, a cold voice suddenly came from the depths of the clinic: "Welcome to the Nightmare Clinic, what can I do for you?"

Suning turned his head sharply and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a man in a white coat standing behind the counter, looking at me expressionlessly.

The man's face was as pale as paper and his eyes were empty, like a body without a soul.

His hands hung at his sides, his fingertips trembling slightly, giving people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Suning's "scavenging eyes" quickly swept over the opponent and, as always, gave the three words "indigenous people".

However, Suning did not let down its guard.

She slowly approached the counter and said tentatively, "I want the special inhibitory drug for Nightmare Town..."

Before he could finish his words, the doctor's body suddenly began to change.

His figure was twisted and deformed, his originally pale skin quickly turned dark, and countless hideous cracks appeared on his face, as if something was about to break out of his body.

The man's eyes turned scarlet, and the corners of his mouth opened to an incredible angle, revealing his sharp teeth.

His voice also became hoarse and low, as if it came from the depths of hell: "You are different... You are not a resident of Nightmare Town... Residents of Nightmare Town have medical records when they want medicine..."

Suning was startled. He didn't expect that he would be exposed here.

She quickly took a few steps back to distance herself from the doctor, while tightening her grip on the weapon in her hand and staring at the other person warily.

I cursed in my heart: "I need a medical record just to buy medicine, and I'm not seriously ill!" However, now is obviously not the time to complain.

Suning used the "Eye of Scavenging" to observe the opponent again, and was surprised to find that the opponent's information had changed greatly.

[Monster: Nightmare Seed]

Talent: Dream Eater - Can devour the target's dreams, plunging them into eternal fear and chaos.

Skill: Evil Wave - Releases a wave of malicious energy, causing both mental and physical damage to targets within the range.

Suning frowned and quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

She knew that the enemy before her was far more dangerous than any monster she had encountered before.

The Nightmare Seed not only possesses powerful attack capabilities, but can also weaken the opponent's willpower by devouring dreams.

Once hit by its "evil wave", the consequences will be unimaginable.

Suning was not worried about the opponent's talent for eating dreams.

"I didn't sleep either, but I'm not worried."

At this moment, the Nightmare Seed suddenly let out a low roar, its body swelled, and the air around it seemed to be distorted by its malice.

It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Suning, spewing out a black energy wave from its mouth. This was its skill - the wave of evil!
