Chapter 1 Not Exactly a Fierce Battle

This battle couldn't exactly be called a fierce one, because none of the five players lost any survival points, but after this battle, the strengths of each person in the team were basically revealed.

In short, there were three players capable of completing the game, and two almost useless burdens...

Wang Tanzhi's face and clothes were splattered with a lot of filthy blood spewed out by the monster babies, but fortunately, the body fluids of this monster didn't have any toxins or other special effects, only making the smell on his body not very pleasant. Long Aomin had his shield blocking, so his clothes and pants were relatively clean. But Feng Bujue suffered serious "contamination," but he quickly solved the problem.

Feng Bujue seemed to have already thought of a solution. After killing the last enhanced mutated version of the monster baby, he turned and walked straight to a car, opened the door, and tore off a seat cover. Then he went to a fire hydrant on the side of the road, used a pipe wrench to loosen the valve, and tap water flowed out. Then he used the seat cover as a rag, using the running water to wipe his face and clothes, quickly cleaning up the messy things on his body, and washing away the strange smell.

Wang Tanzhi followed suit, also tearing a piece of cloth from the car, and then squatting next to Feng Bujue to clean the dirty things on himself.

Long Aomin went to observe the corpses of each monster baby one by one, confirming that these things were completely dead before he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the curb, allowing his stamina to slowly recover.

Lonely and Silent walked over, returning to the range illuminated by the street lamp. "Thank you, if it weren't for you guys just now, we would have probably been done for," Brother Lonely said, his tone much more humble. At first, he thought that his level was at least higher than those two level five guys, and he should have more say. But now, he would no longer question the correctness of the opinions put forward by Feng Bujue.

"Before reaching the coordinates of the Devil's Gate that I deduced..." Feng Bujue had already washed his face clean, and he wiped his clothes and pants as he said, "...we have to find a piece of equipment for each of you, even if it's of broken quality, it's better than being empty-handed."

"The city in this script is very big, I think it's not difficult to find something that can be used as a weapon on the road. If it really doesn't work, we can pick up an iron rod, or use Brother Feng's pipe wrench to dismantle some parts to use as weapons." Long Aomin continued, "By the way, what you said just now... about the three possibilities of darkness..."

"The first possibility... the surrounding light didn't actually dim, it's just that our vision and hearing were interfered with at the same second." Feng Bujue replied directly, "Our eyes were blinded by darkness, and strange sounds entered our ears, but everything around us was actually the same." He paused, "If this hypothesis is true, there is a question, is the 'entity' that is interfering with us hiding near us, just that we can't see it... or is it exerting its power from a very far place?"

Hearing the words "nearby" and "can't see," the other four felt a burst of goosebumps, only Feng Bujue himself didn't care.

"Furthermore, why did the last monster change? Is it that the thing that affected us also used some kind of ability on that monster during those few seconds?" He wiped himself clean, and threw away the seat cover, "I don't want to dig too deeply into these temporarily unverifiable inferences now. Hmm... let's talk about the second possibility, that the darkness is actually real, enveloping the entire city and even the entire world in this script."

Wang Tanzhi interjected at this time: "How can that be done? Those street lamps are one thing, but the moon isn't a light bulb, you can't just turn it off, can you?"

"No matter how this is done, let's assume that some kind of force has successfully done it. Then... what happened just now may be that this world was quickly swallowed by an unknown darkness, and it lasted for several seconds. During these several seconds, the monster... very likely underwent physiological mutation and strengthening under the effect of this darkness..."

He put away the pipe wrench, and also sat down on the curb: "I personally prefer this second possibility, this darkness is more like a natural phenomenon, its target of influence and effect is non-specific, it is not generated only to target us."

Long Aomin said: "What about the third possibility?"

"The system temporarily revised the script because of the efficiency we showed when killing the first four monsters." Feng Bujue replied.

"No way?" Silent said, "Lonely and I have queued for dungeons twice before, and we have never seen this kind of situation. Even if the team encounters monsters and fights them quickly and easily, there is no sudden increase in the difficulty of the script."

Lonely added: "We have also encountered players who were about the same level as Brother Long before. The monsters in the early stages of the script were almost instantly killed, so I said at the beginning that with a level ten player leading us, we could get through the dungeon by brute force." He was telling the truth, but in the previous script, that level ten player did not have the intention or action to specifically protect them, so they still died later.

"Hmm... I also think the third possibility is very small." Feng Bujue replied thoughtfully.

In fact, the main reason he thought of this hypothesis was because of the game that the AI set up for him in the previous single-player survival mode. At this moment, he quickly denied this possibility: "This is my first time queuing for a team survival mode, and I'm not very clear about the actual situation, so... this possibility can be ruled out."

Wang Tanzhi also cleaned himself up at this time. He stood up and said: "The first two possibilities can be verified in a while, right? If it's according to what Brother Jue said, then no matter which one it is, as long as the script continues, the darkness will descend again."

"That makes sense..." Long Aomin stood up, his stamina had recovered a little, "Then we better solve the equipment problem for Lonely and Silent before we encounter monsters again or the darkness descends."

Feng Bujue also stood up and said: "The route I plan to take will pass by a police station. When we get there, we'll go in and search it. Maybe there will be guns, batons... if we're lucky, bulletproof vests, masks, shields, we'll have a chance to find them." He seemed to be unable to restrain himself, "I've wanted to try what it feels like to hold a shotgun and shoot for a long time..."

Long Aomin felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. Feng Bujue's tone sounded like a perverted killer who lacked the conditions to commit murder...

The group discussed for a few minutes, and then set off again, heading towards the police station that Feng Bujue mentioned. Although the surrounding dark and oppressive atmosphere remained, and they didn't know how many monsters were hidden in the shadows that were difficult to see, the five people still had some expectations for the police station described by Feng Bujue.

You must know that in the early stages of the game, shooting weapons are rare items. If they can find guns here, and powerful shotguns or submachine guns, it would be worth it even if they died halfway through the script.
