The black fog showed signs of breaking out. In just two hours, it quickly swept through the underground city and then spread towards the sky city. Countless people were controlled by the black fog and became madmen who only knew how to kill. The entire underground city almost became a hell on earth.
Due to the sudden change, most of the audience in Yan Yu's live broadcast room disappeared in an instant. The remaining audiences were desperately crying out words like "The end of the world is coming" and "Save me quickly", conveying the panic to them through the barrage of comments.
Yan Yu and Song Fa looked at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here".
There were only a few hundred contestants left in front of him, and they had completely lost their minds. Every blow of their swords was fierce. Even if their opponents were hacked to death, they would not stop attacking, almost chopping them into meat paste.
The two of them knocked out anyone they could, and killed those contestants who were blinded by rage on the spot. They had long ignored the vibration reminder of the bracelet.
With the large-scale "Black Fog Apocalypse" that has now appeared, the existence of escape games has no meaning to them.
By this time, the black fog had stained the entire world in a thick black, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. From the fragments of information in the live broadcast room, Yan Yu realized that their location was the source of the black fog.
Occasionally, senior officials who knew the truth about the "selection" would reveal the relevant content in the live broadcast room, shocking the audience and scolding them for deliberately concealing the news, saying that it was too late to know the truth now.
"Fuck you! I really want to kill those who knew the truth but chose to hide it! If I can't survive, then neither can they!"
"Ahhh, all the old people in my family have turned into murderers. They killed my dad and are now chasing me with a kitchen knife. Can someone save me?"
"Where are the people from the research institute? Didn't they say they've been researching a solution to the black fog for years? Why are they playing dead at this critical moment?!"
"The director of the research institute ran off with a team of personal guards two days ago! I don't know where they went. Could he have gone into hiding in advance because he was worried about being scolded or beaten?"
"Hurry, hurry, the Overwatch Council has set up a few temporary bases. The coating on the exterior walls can somewhat resist the erosion of the black fog. The link below is the address of the temporary base. Everyone, hurry!"
The live broadcast room was in chaos. Yan Yu and Song Fa could imagine the chaos and disorder over there through the screen, but the situation on their side was a hundred times more serious than that.
The knocked-out contestants soon began to transform. Their pupils vanished, replaced by bloodshot. Their bodies twisted and deformed, their nails growing rapidly. They rose from the ground, roaring and attacking Yan Yu and Song Fa.
It took the two of them more than an hour to deal with these troublesome aliens.
As the density of the black fog increased, Yan Yu clearly felt that her mental energy consumption had increased a lot, especially when she was still separating a strand of mental energy to help Song Fa expel the black fog, she gradually became a little tired.
Yan Yu: "This isn't a solution. It seems we need to find the source of the black fog as soon as possible."
Song Fa had the same idea as her and nodded: "Let's go."
The place they were in was already the center of the forbidden zone of death. After a little search, they found a place similar to a black hole, with a diameter of about several hundred meters. The edge was like broken glass, and an endless stream of black mist was leaking out of it, like a black waterfall, which was shocking.
And this black hole is still expanding.
Yan Yu's mental energy consumption increased dramatically, and he could only barely keep Song Fa's mind unaffected.
The more critical the situation, the calmer they became.
After paying close attention to the area around the black hole, Yan Yu soon discovered several golden traces there. With a light touch of his hands, a phantom immediately appeared.
The shadow was a blond old man. Although his face was covered in wrinkles, his kind eyes were so benign that they completely dispelled any suspicion. Upon seeing Yan Yu and Song Fa, the shadow's eyes lit up. "I suppose you must be aliens. I am an SSS-rank Destiny Master in this world, and this is just a remnant of my soul."
Yan Yu and Song Fa were extremely surprised. They had never expected someone to know that they were not from this world. They just wondered how much he knew about the Infinite Survival Game.
The blond old man smiled, his face unable to hide his fatigue and fear. "I have the ability to predict the coming of the end of the world. I also predicted the arrival of you aliens."
"In my prediction, our entire world will become a death trap in a higher-dimensional world, with no one spared." Having said this, the blond old man raised his head and stared at Yan Yu and Song Fa. "However, God will not abandon us. He has left us a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer of hope is you!"
"For this, I have sacrificed all my life force to temporarily block that person's supervision and pull you into this world ahead of time, hoping that you can save my people."
The blond old man bowed deeply to Yan Yu and Song Fa.
Yan Yu: "You mean, you temporarily blocked the game system and asked us to enter before the dungeon officially opened, so our system can't be opened?"
"Yes, the dungeon will be officially opened soon, and your own system will be able to be opened."
Yan Yu grasped the key point: "Who exactly is this 'that person' you're talking about?" Who is the mastermind behind the Infinite Doomsday Game? Or which faction is it?
The blond old man shook his head apologetically: "I can't say."
At this point, Yan Yu and Song Fa suddenly heard a faint "crackling" sound in their minds, like the friction sound of nails scratching against kraft paper, or the sound of electric current caused by poor circuit contact.
[Zizi, the S-rank dungeon escape game is loading...]
[Zizi, loading successfully, releasing to players... Zizi, failure! Failure!]
【Start the copy detection program! 】
The blond old man seemed to be able to hear the survival game's system sound, and his expression suddenly changed. "The shielding time is almost up. To make a long story short, it is said that in the higher-dimensional world, there is a space crystal core that can repair space barriers. Using SS-level or SSS-level space crystal cores, a space shield can be forged. A super-level space shield can protect this damaged space wall and prevent the black fog from invading."
"I only have a blueprint for an SS-level space shield. I'm giving it to you. I hope you can get an SS-level space crystal core to help us survive this apocalyptic catastrophe!"
"If you succeed, there will be generous gifts in the future!"
After the last sentence was said, the shadow of the blond old man completely faded away.
The mechanical buzzing sound in Yan Yu and Song Fa's ears finally returned to normal:
[Ding, the fault has been resolved, the copy killing program has been released, and the player has been successfully released! Please try your best to survive!]
The two looked at their personal panels again and found that everything had been restored.
They first put all the items in the space rings and space buttons they got from the escape game into their own S-level storage rings, and then turned their attention to the SS-level space shield equipment blueprint.
[Special Equipment Blueprint: SS-Class Space Shield]
Description: Can create a space shield with a diameter of 50,000 meters and repair damaged space barriers
Materials: SS-level space crystal core*5
Conditions of use: Forging talent above SS level
But before the two of them could say anything, the live broadcast room that had been open exploded again.
"That was Master Tianming just now! I'm so sad. Master actually chose to sacrifice himself to protect us."
"No wonder the Master of Destiny died without warning. It turned out he had predicted the coming of doomsday and was willing to sacrifice his own life for a glimmer of hope."
"Wait, the two contestants I'm chasing are actually aliens? Where are they from? Can they really take on the responsibility of saving our world!?"
"Those are SS-level space shield equipment blueprints, far more valuable than ordinary SSS-level equipment blueprints. Master Tianming gave them away so easily to two unknown outsiders. Isn't that too hasty?"
"Number 000666 happens to be an equipment engineer. Maybe she can really create an SS-level space shield to prevent the invasion of the black fog. It's just that those SS-level space crystal cores are too difficult to obtain! By the time they get an SS-level space crystal core, we might be dead!"
The highest grade material in their world is S grade, and SS grade is extremely rare, not to mention the extremely rare space crystal core among the SS grade, which even the top leaders of Sky City have hardly seen.
According to the destiny master, No. 000666 and No. 000520 should pass through the "black hole" into a more dangerous high-dimensional world to find a way to obtain the SS-level space crystal core. This process must be difficult and long.
What they lack most now is time.
Although the outer walls of the temporary base are coated to resist the black fog, as the black fog erodes, these coatings inevitably show some spots and peeling, and the situation is not optimistic.
In addition, many people had been affected by the black fog before being transferred into the base, and soon after entering the base they began to show signs of alienation, and the entire base suddenly became chaotic.
With internal and external troubles, many people either indulged themselves or had suicidal tendencies. Now, those who still had some sense could only silently pay attention to No. 000666 and No. 000520, pinning all their hopes of survival on them.
However, this hope is extremely slim.
"Ahhh, look, there's something coming from the black hole!"
Yan Yu looked in the direction indicated by the barrage, and then his heart tightened. Several mutant species appeared on the other side of the black hole without anyone noticing!
She quickly activated the advanced detection technique:
[Alien Species: Hell Demon]
Level: 85
HP: 105000/105000
Attack: 45000
Defense: 35000
Skill 1: Devour - Restores health by devouring black mist. One swallow can restore 5000 health points. Cooldown time is 30 seconds.
Skill 2: Devil's Claw - Launches a Devil's Claw attack, single attack -7000 health points, cooldown time 30 seconds
Wow, this thing is actually level 85!
It is nearly twice as high as theirs, and its health, attack power, and defense values are also frighteningly high. Its two skills are one for health recovery and one for single-target high attack. It has both offense and defense, and is very difficult to deal with.
Moreover, their combined health points are only over 10,000 points, and the attack power of the Hell Demon is more than three times that of theirs. If they are not careful, they may be doomed if they are touched by it!
