"Weren't we in the conference room just now?"
The Earl rubbed his arms; the thin T-shirt did not bring him any warmth.
"That's not the point. The point is where are we?"
Mo Shaoge stood up, took off his short-sleeved shirt and put it on Cui Ying. His body was wrapped in bandages, so he was not shirtless after taking them off, and he felt the temperature better than others.
Some of the eighteen people were at a loss, while others stood up as well.
Mo Shaoge left his seat and walked to the side.
"Hey Shaoge!"
Cui Ying called him worriedly, which made Mo Shaoge feel sweet in his heart.
"It's okay, I'm just taking a look!"
There was grass, rocks and mud on the ground, and the texture was different when they were stepped on. The cold wind and the feeling of the dry grass brought by the cold wind hitting their bodies told them the reality of all this.
"Where's the Monkey King? Where's the Dawn man? Why aren't they here?"
"I guess this is what she was talking about in the interview!"
Some people were discussing in a few words.
"So what is this place? A three-dimensional projection?"
At this moment, everyone could no longer sit still and were stamping their feet, rubbing their hands, and leaning against each other for warmth.
"This isn't a 3D projection. It might have teleported us to some weird place in the middle of nowhere!"
The count took the opportunity to help the little sister rub her hands while looking around.
"Boom~~"
There were bursts of thunder in the sky.
The sound was very close, as if a heavy downpour was right in front of us, but there was no lightning yet.
"Shit, it never rains, it's really bad raining in this remote area."
"Yeah, it's so cold, how can we stand getting wet in the rain? Are we near the North Pole or the South Pole?"
While the people around were complaining, Mo Shaoge and Zhao Xing had slowly reached a slightly higher terrain.
There was nothing to see on one side of where their conference table was, so they could only look at what was on the other side.
The two of them crawled slowly up the rocks and soon reached the top of a stone slope and poked their heads out.
"Boom~~~"
That's where the thunder came from.
"This, this is not thunder at all..."
Mo Shaoge lowered his voice and said this to Zhao Xing, who also covered his mouth and nodded.
The two of them quietly stepped back.
Because the 16 people behind them were making quite a lot of noise, and some of them were even preparing to find some dry grass and branches and start a fire with a lighter, which made the two men sweat on their foreheads.
Hurry down and stop those people below from committing suicide.
Seeing that the two men looked unhappy, everyone subconsciously obeyed them and shut up, then slowly followed them to climb up the stone slope.
Eighteen heads popped their heads out at the same time and finally saw the scene a little further away.
"Boom~~"
That was not Thor at all, but a roar, a strange thing that was not an animal or beast.
It is shaped like a giant snake with wings, but it is sometimes between shadow and entity, extending countless tentacles with mouthparts.
Beneath his body was a sea of red, with corpses of countless animals, beasts, and even humans everywhere.
Each tentacle grabs a corpse and throws it into the air. After swallowing it with its huge mouth, the basilisk will make a "rumbling" sound similar to thunder.
The 18 people froze there, not knowing what to do. For the time being, they could only think of observing. A gust of wind blew by, and the cold mixed with a stench made them almost nauseous.
The basilisk seems to like human corpses, followed by corpses that are more decayed. When these two conditions are met, it will search through the pile of corpses.
Cui Ying and others didn't know why their eyesight was so good in such a gray environment. They could even see the faces and clothing of humans in the pile of corpses in the distance.
Although they were in tatters, they were wearing animal skins, and most of them were rough clothes such as linen.
"Boom~~"
The basilisk made another sound.
At this moment, one of the corpses moved.
“Ah~”
Just as the little sister was about to scream, the Count covered her mouth tightly. The people around her were nervous for a moment, but fortunately the basilisk didn't seem to hear it.
There was a person in the pile of corpses, a person with broken legs.
While the basilisk's tentacle was biting towards him, he suddenly used a weapon in his hand, which was not of very good quality, to cut off the tentacle.
“Roar~~~”
The basilisk felt pain and rushed towards him with its huge head.
With a loud bang, the pile of corpses was blown up into a cloud of blood several meters high, and the man was knocked to the side, unable to move.
"You, filthy monster...Your days will not last long! Our world..."
The sound stopped abruptly as the man in the skins was swallowed up.
“Roar~~~~~”
The basilisk's roar shook the sky, and everyone in the editorial office trembled in fear.
Although the language just spoken was not a modern language, they were able to understand its meaning directly.
"We can't hide for long, let's get out of here!"
Even though they thought that these might not be true, how could they dare to gamble, so they all climbed down quietly.
But before he could go down, the ground suddenly shook violently, and almost at the same time a loud "boom" came from the basilisk.
Driven by curiosity, I climbed up again to take a look.
Just then, two huge rocks were seen falling from the sky, hitting the basilisk from two tricky angles, causing its huge body to crash to the ground.
“Boom~” “Boom~”
“Roar~~~”
The sound of impact, the roar of the basilisk and the vibration of the ground were heard one after another, and powder fell down from the stone slope in small amounts.
“Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”, “Bang”…
It was a sound of heavy and dense footsteps, and a figure with a hurricane-like dust behind it was approaching rapidly from a distance. Whenever it encountered larger stones on the way, it would kick them and throw them at the basilisk.
“Roar~~~”
“Ah~~~~~~~”
Like a meteor hitting rocks, the monsters and humans, each emitting their own roars, finally came into contact.
Dust filled the air behind the figure, and gravel flew everywhere, causing everyone in the editorial department to lower their heads to protect their faces.
The roars and the ground shaking continued for an unknown amount of time before everything seemed to calm down.
“Hoo~Hoo~Hoo~”
There was the sound of heavy, tired breathing.
Everyone looked out again and found that the basilisk had been almost torn into pieces, with phantoms like souls flying everywhere from its body.
The figure who was fighting with him was kneeling in a pool of blood, gasping for breath.
"I, we! Finally got this kind of power!!"
Crying, what came next was actually crying, but the voice did not contain cowardice.
Just when they were wondering whether they should go down to say hello, the scene suddenly changed and they were sitting at the conference table again, and the place was no longer the wilderness, but the edge of a big lake.
Now they seemed to gradually understand their situation.
Sure enough, there were countless water monsters in the lake that looked like transparent ghosts. After flying out for a while, they drowned countless creatures in their bodies and brought them back.
There are birds and beasts, as well as humans of all ages, men and women.
Thunderstorm clouds appeared in the sky, and lightning rumbled down, hitting one or two of the water monsters and breaking them apart, but the scattered water droplets soon gathered together into slightly smaller monsters, but the humans wrapped inside them fell from the sky and their blood plasma burst.
But the thunder and lightning became more and more frequent, until in the end they were almost more frequent than the rain.
The people in the editorial department wanted to stay away from the lake but did not dare to leave the conference table too far. Subconsciously, they all hid under the conference table and watched this "thunderstorm".
The entire lake was ravaged by the electric current and turned into a pool of light for an unknown period of time.
However, no fish floated up from the lake, so they must have been eaten up long ago.
When the rain stopped, all the water monsters disappeared, as if they were all dead.
A man fell from the clouds in the sky and landed directly in the water. He had no strength to struggle to swim to the shore and drowned in the lake due to exhaustion.
Many times, the people in the editorial office wanted to rush into the water to rescue the people at all costs, but in the end they did not dare to do so because they were afraid of the water monster.
The feeling of watching someone drown to death is extremely uncomfortable, as if you were the murderer.
…
On the plateau, on the seashore, at the foot of the mountains and rivers, in the canyons, and even in underground spaces...
There are scary monsters everywhere.
Some have physical form, some are somewhere between visible and invisible, and some are simply like ghosts.
Most of them devour lives, while a small number release various toxic substances to transform the environment. Many animals and humans are vulnerable in front of them.
Not every place will have a superhuman presence, and not every struggle will be successful.
Blood and tears are the main themes that everyone sees.
The world is always gray and accompanied by a foul smell. As the conference table turns, most of the time all you see are corpses, corpses, corpses, and more corpses!
Occasionally, there would be a crackling sound in the sky, like glass breaking.
The people in the editorial department have formed a conditioned reflex. Whenever they hear this, it means the scene has changed again and again, and they feel the nausea and horror of the moment.
The more times I heard it, the darker the world's sky became, as if the sun had left the earth, and the weather became colder and colder.
The frequency of rebellions that could be seen many times before has decreased, those powerful extraordinary humans seem to have become even rarer, and even the number of humans and creatures on Earth, flowers, plants and trees has been declining, even though their reproductive capacity during this period was inexplicably strong, so strong that it is unimaginable for modern people.
But this is a painful way of continuing, and also a helpless way of lingering on.
A feeling of extreme depression appeared in everyone's heart.
