The screams alerted the surrounding group, and seeing the direction from which the thick fog was coming, they instinctively ran towards the buildings along the roadside.
They entered the building before the fog, but the fog seemed to have a spirit of its own, squeezing into the building through the gaps in the doors and windows. Those enveloped by the fog never made it out alive.
The nerdy guys who stayed home all over the planet were in big trouble when they were suddenly engulfed by a thick fog.
The thick fog seemed to come alive and stopped around the central square, leaving only the roads leading to the square free of fog, as if the fog wanted to concentrate all the city's people inside the square.
The square was filled with survivors who had come from all over the country that day. Realizing that something was wrong, the survivors began to gather back to their positions.
Subsequently, more and more people who went out hunting gathered in the square from all around the city.
When faced with unknown dangers, banding together is a good approach. The temporary base of the World Society was adjacent to Chen Ling's base, and upon seeing this scene, they instinctively gathered together.
Soon, everyone knew what was going on, as the system began issuing notifications.
[The monster attack and defense battle is about to begin. Survivors, please proceed to the designated area as soon as possible.]
[The monster attack and defense battle is about to begin. Survivors, please proceed to the designated area as soon as possible.]
[The monster attack and defense battle is about to begin. Survivors, please proceed to the designated area as soon as possible.]
It has to be said that it's hard to say whether they were lucky or unlucky, but they encountered a monster siege as soon as they entered the city.
However, just like previous zombie hordes, this monster siege did not give any reaction time, but only kindly reminded everyone to gather in the designated area.
This designated area must be the central square.
Having learned from the previous experience of zombie hordes, all those adventuring outside began to gather in the designated area.
After all, if they were to be swallowed up by this thick fog any later, their fate would be obvious.
However, there was a difference this time: the system thoughtfully began explaining the monster siege event.
Unlike the zombie hordes of the past, the main force in the monster attack and defense battles is various monsters.
Unlike an endless horde of zombies, each wave has a specific number of members.
The more monsters you kill within the time limit given by the system, the higher your score and the greater the rewards.
Different monsters give different scores.
Once the time limit is exceeded, any monsters that are not killed will disappear.
Then there will be a few minutes of rest time. After the rest time ends, the second wave of monsters will attack.
This process continues until the last wave of monsters is cleared or time runs out.
The white mist contains all sorts of monsters, but they are now bound by the system's rules, which only drive the survivors in each city out of their rooms.
You think you're safe on the streets? You're sorely mistaken.
After the system's given time limit is exceeded, the dense fog will gradually cover all the streets from the outside in.
If you happen to be near the square, you might be able to race against time; if you're further away, good luck!
Survivors who fail to enter the plaza on time will be slaughtered by the monsters lurking in the thick fog.
Because of the intercity portals in the central region, all the fog in the cities designates the central region as the designated gathering area.
Larger cities have more survivors, and also a relatively higher density of monsters.
Otherwise, it would be unfair to smaller cities.
Of course, absolute fairness is impossible, and this becomes even more apparent in a post-apocalyptic world.
As for being able to fight your way through the monsters in the thick fog to reach the square, that makes you a hero.
Every rule has loopholes. The survivors were eliminated prematurely because they touched the dense fog out of curiosity.
The entire perimeter of City A is now shrouded in thick fog, cutting off the survivors' chance to escape.
From a god's-eye view, one would see that the entire city perimeter is shrouded in thick fog, which gradually begins to engulf the buildings within the city.
Then an hourglass appears on the panel, and the sand inside begins to slowly fall. Once the hourglass runs out, the real monster siege battle will begin.
...
Liu Nian was so engrossed in cleaning up the infected people on the street that he didn't even notice the system notification that flashed through his mind.
Because of underestimating the enemy this morning, the number of skeleton warriors in the front row has been greatly reduced.
Now there are only ten skeletons of his own and five skeletons of Tiffany's.
All the skeletons that Zhou Chan and the Book of the Dead sent were taken away by the spider.
Yes, you read that right. Even though Tiffany has been upgraded, she can still only summon five skeletons at a time. I wonder if there are any limitations.
The consequences of this incident are quite severe, resulting in a situation where people are now hesitant to pull too many monsters, otherwise the front line won't be able to withstand the attack.
Even zombies were sent out to act as the front line, relieving the pressure on the skeleton warriors.
The system notifications for the monster siege were mixed with a lot of experience point gain sounds, so much so that Liu Nian didn't notice them.
It wasn't until thick fog began to rise from the buildings along the street that he realized something was amiss.
The thick fog was filled with shadowy figures, which diminished his desire to explore it. He watched as the streets behind him were continuously swallowed up by the fog.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he had no choice but to keep riding his warhorse forward.
They didn't care about direction; they just ran wherever there was no thick fog.
The raven guides the way, ensuring the path ahead is clear.
Thick fog followed closely behind, clinging tightly to Liu Nian, eager to engulf him.
Liu Nian could sense a deadly threat lurking in the thick fog.
It would be a lie to say that Liu Nian felt no psychological pressure; he could only pray that the warhorse would always maintain a safe distance from him.
Perhaps the gods and Buddhas protected him, and eventually his warhorse charged out of the street, revealing a bright and open view before him.
The central square in front was packed with people, a large number of survivors.
It seemed the meeting point was right here. Before the thick fog caught up with him, Liu Nian plunged headfirst into the edge of the square.
There were others who rushed over just like Liu Nian, but they were clearly much less lucky.
On another road, an off-road vehicle was also speeding along; these were survivors on the edge of the city, and this time they were in big trouble.
The driver had one foot welded to the accelerator, driving the car forward with complete concentration.
There were two people in the car, and they could reach the edge of the square as soon as they got out of the street.
Hearing the roar of the car, the people in the square hurriedly made room for them, and others shouted encouragement to cheer them on.
Unfortunately, just across the street, the SUV suddenly stalled.
The two people in the car remained calm and, without hesitation, opened the car door and ran forward without looking back.
However, the fog was moving much faster than them. Those who were a step behind were instantly swallowed up by the fog, followed by pitiful screams from within it.
The shout sent chills down the spines of everyone in the square, while the more concerned-hearted people shouted even louder for the survivors to run.
The remaining people kept walking, one foot already across the square, and many people reached out their hands to pull him back towards the square.
But the thick fog still caught him; before the look of surprise on his face had faded, he collapsed limply to the ground.
Everyone came to their senses and looked at the person whose body they were only holding onto, which was only half of the body.
The other half of the body disappeared into the mist as if it had been sliced off with a knife.
The others who had grabbed the man hurriedly threw away the body, and some of the more timid people vomited upon seeing the gruesome sight.
Accompanied by a variety of emotions, the system's voice was authoritative and heavy.
[Monster Siege Begins]
Following the system notification, the first wave of monster attacks was about to begin.
