After the whispers, what followed was a cacophony of noise and chaos.
The sound of liquid flowing, the wind blowing, the sound of boiling oil eating flesh, the sound of bones being crushed … the sound was so close.
Angry growls, pained groans, maniacal laughter, bone-chilling sobs … each of them drilled into their ears.
Just this auditory pressure alone was enough to make people feel as if they had fallen into hell.
At that moment, it was not that the players did not have any lighting devices, but the darkness was like a raging beast, gripping all the light sources in the city tightly in its claws.
Some people tried to shout, trying to communicate with their teammates, but they couldn't even hear the sound coming from their own throats.
Some tried to wave their hands, trying to use their sense of touch to confirm the situation around them, but their fingertips could only touch waves of air that fluctuated between hot and cold.
Fear and helplessness spread and grew in the players' hearts.
Objectively speaking, this darkness did not last that long, but for those who were caught in it, it felt as long as an eternal night.
Finally …
After about one minute, the 'darkness' retreated.
A blood moon rose in the sky.
The fog that was supposed to be the medium of 'connection' had disappeared, and the real Nuka City … appeared before the players' eyes.
As far as the eye could see … there were rugged scorched earth, boiling rivers of blood, overgrown skeletons, wriggling corpses, flying demonic shadows, and so on … Countless terrifying things that could only appear in nightmares painted a magnificent scene of the Yellow Springs.
All the strange noises had materialized into reality, becoming the real threat of death.
…
At the western side of the city, where the Golden Warhammer team was.
"Beep!" What is going on? " Huang Dachui was panicking. Under the double influence of Virus Z and fear, he was sweating profusely, and his face was pale. "Why did it suddenly become like this?"
"It feels like we've suddenly transformed into an otherworld …" Mystic King was still in shock, but compared to Huang Dachui, his Terror Points were much more stable.
Wonder Fighter wiped away the cold sweat and said, "I say … could this be caused by the man we met earlier?"
"That is possible." Alkaline Man nodded. "Perhaps he angered the boss or pushed it into the 'second stage' …"
"So …" Huang Dachui asked probingly. "The situation before us … is essentially because the boss of this scenario has gone all out?"
"Who knows …" Alkaline Man was indeed clueless about the situation. "I'm more concerned about … the drastic change to the scenario, will it affect our search for the antidote?"
"Yeah!" The Mystic Spirit Monarch immediately reacted. "Let's assume that the man really left the antidote for us, but if the antidote was left in the Surface World, then wouldn't we not be able to get it?"
"Yes …" Basic Man continued. "Let's take a step back. Even if the antidote was transported to the Inner World as well, look around …" He paused for two seconds. "Leaving aside the fact that there are wandering monsters everywhere, the change in the terrain is worrisome … What if the antidote fell into the lava or the river of blood? Or what if the stone slab with the puzzle is missing? "
"Then what are we waiting for?" Huang Dachui shouted. "Let's hurry up and search!"
"Hmph … I also want to …" Basic Man smiled bitterly.
Before his voice died away, the four members of the Golden Warhammer Team were surrounded by a circle of strange shadows...
"But these monsters don't seem like they will cooperate with us …" Basic Man mumbled as he summoned his scythes again.
…
On the other hand, at Underworld Frontline …
"Even if you squat where you are, the scenario won't change back to how it was before." Xiao Ling looked at her boyfriend with a condescending gaze and said with sincerity, "Quick, get up and help us."
When she said that, she raised both of her arms and used Moon Killer and Falling Star to mindlessly shoot at some of the monsters that were ten meters away. Since both guns had a certain degree of auto-calibration, when shooting at the monsters, Xiao Ling only needed to aim from the corner of her eyes and then fire at will.
"I know …" When Xiao Tan answered, he had already stood up. "The Terror Points were a bit high earlier. Let me take a break first …"
"You've already taken thirty seconds, and you're still not done?" Xiao Ling asked in an impatient tone. "Are you seven years old this year?"
"So, this time is related to age …" Hearing that, Xiao Tan's lips twitched as he replied, "So, those above the age of seven have to calm down within thirty seconds when they encounter something scary …"
"Of course." Xiao Ling said matter-of-factly. "Don't tell me that when you saw a question that you couldn't answer in an exam paper when you were young, you were in a state of panic until the class was over?"
"Er …" Xiao Tan was speechless.
"I say … Why are you guys discussing the 'thirty-second rule' at a time like this?" Hua Jian chimed in. "Focus on the monsters."
(Note: The thirty-second rule refers to the principle of 'In an exam, if you still can't figure out the answer within thirty seconds, you should skip the question.' This is because if you can't figure out the answer within thirty seconds, you might not be able to figure it out even if you spend another thirty minutes thinking about it. Self-deception will only waste time.
P.S.: I made up this rule in thirty seconds, so please don't take it seriously.)
"Okay! Watch me! "Xiao Tan said as he used his shotgun and sleeve bolt to suppress the monsters that were gathering around them.
After a few seconds, he suddenly remembered something. He stopped and told his teammates, "By the way … these monsters … I think I've seen them somewhere before …"
…
Ten minutes earlier, inside the Strange Castle at the city center.
Three silhouettes entered the main hall and walked all the way to Sam Montier's throne.
"Yo, yo, we've brought him here."
"My king, please … Tsk, tsk, check out."
Upside Down and Upside Down reported to Sam Montier with a RAP.
"Alright, you can leave now." Sam Montier sat on the throne without moving. He did not even open his eyes.
After the two received the order, they looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, turned around, and left.
After they left the palace, Feng Bujue said with a smile, "Did you close your eyes because you couldn't look at your two subordinates?"
"Feng Bujue …" Sam Montier did not answer Brother Jue's question. He knew that if he continued on this topic, he would be mocked again, so he only said what he had prepared beforehand. "… Even at this stage, I have to say I am impressed that you can still maintain such a calm attitude."
"What? Do you still expect to see me show a look of fear? "Feng Bujue asked.
"Humph … How boring …" Sam Montier said as he opened his eyes.
Now, the color of his eyes was different from when he was on Devil's Island. At the time, he had a pair of yellowish eyes, but now, his beast eyes were dark.
"You are an opponent that makes me feel helpless, Feng Bujue." Sam Montier opened his giant bat wings and stood up from the throne. He stomped down slowly. "I'm not sure whether you're too calm or too crazy, but I'm sure … I won't get the thrill of revenge from you."
As he spoke, he walked to Brother Jue. "Because … even though you're just a lowly creature, you've always looked down on everything with the attitude of a superior, looking down on … me!"
The word 'me' was accompanied by a roar, and the air that came out of Sam Montier's mouth blew Brother Jue's hair up.
The next second, Feng Bujue glared at him with his dead fish eyes and replied, "Based on the current situation, there are at least two reasons why I am acting all high and mighty before you. One, I am much better than you in terms of oral cleanliness. Two, I know better than to talk to other people when I have bad breath. "
Hearing that, Sam Montier took two steps back awkwardly. "Humph … You humans use that meaningless social etiquette as the basis for your arrogance?"
"Social etiquette aside … this is mainly a personal hygiene issue, isn't it?" Feng Bujue's retort came quickly, and it was logical. "Furthermore, I have nothing to be arrogant about. You should be ashamed. If you insist that I'm arrogant, I'll hug your neck and talk to you with feces in my mouth. I wonder how you'll feel. "
When that was said, Sam Montier subconsciously took another step back. "Enough! Don't talk nonsense with me anymore! " He soon realized that the topic had been led astray by Brother Jue, so he decided to get to the point. "Today, I'll make you pay for what you've done in the past!"
Then, the demonic energy around Sam Montier pulsed, and a wave of murderous intent rolled out like a tsunami.
"Huh? You'll make me pay? " Feng Bujue stood where he was, and he did not even take out his sorcery weapon. "You?"
"Humph …" Sam Montier sneered. "Looks like you're just so-so …" He paused for half a second. "Do you think … you can escape unscathed like you did on Devil's Island?"
"Oh … you're talking about that." Feng Bujue put his hands in his pockets and replied in a relaxed tone. "You mean the fight where you pretended to attack me, but you were actually waiting for an opportunity to ambush the punisher?"
Sam Montier's expression changed slightly. "You …"
"How would I know?" Feng Bujue continued. "Haha … I know far more than that." He raised his hand and touched his chin. "I also know that you're three times stronger than you were then, right?"
Sam Montier did not reply, but his shock was reflected in the waves of his Mana.
"I admit … when we first met, I did underestimate you a little." Feng Bujue was still talking. "But after that encounter on Devil's Island, I changed my mind. Then … after I sorted out the information about you, I realized that your shrewdness and potential … are not to be underestimated. "
"Humph … bluff …" At this time, Sam Montier calmed down and said tentatively, "It's your usual trick."
"What? You think I'm bluffing? "Feng Bujue laughed." Haha … then I'll show you something. " He opened his hands and said with his usual annoying face, "Hmm … where should I start? Oh, right, let's start with the strange religion that you, Soulsnatcher, and Taliohm set up."
