Eternal Night

Chapter 10: The Newcomers' First Fight
"distortion!"

Wu Xianxiao roared, waking up the three frightened newcomers. Seeing that the tentacles were about to continue to wrap around the three newcomers, he went straight towards the tentacles while roaring.

The tentacles are dark black and look like they are made of rubber tires. There are barbs on the surface of the tentacles and a lot of sharp teeth on the inside. If you are scraped or rolled up by them, a large piece of flesh will probably be lost.

This was also the first time that Wu Xianxiao encountered a deformed form, but he had also heard about it from his predecessors.

All aberrations do not involve mutations that are contaminated by the supernatural.

It is considered the easiest type of monster to deal with among all the monsters, similar to the nightmare he encountered before. If it weren't for the dream world with a lowered energy level, a level 2 nightmare could easily slaughter tens of thousands of people in a legion, and it would definitely not take more than a minute.

Although it was the easiest monster to deal with, each of its tentacles was about the size of a palm, at least five or six meters long, and there were dozens of them waving around. Wu Xianxiao felt a chill in his heart just by looking at them.

But the other three are all newcomers, let alone any strength. Even their mentality is still the same as the moment they entered the cryostat. Although they will be connected to the dream network every fifty years in the cryostat, they are not citizens. They are just allowed to continue sleeping in the dream network to avoid falling into the terror of nothingness, so they actually know nothing.

At this time, Wu Xianxiao met the tentacles, flying and chirping anxiously in the air, while the four newcomers rolled and crawled out of the tentacles' waving range. They watched in shock as Wu Xianxiao tumbled up and down at a speed that ordinary people could not reach, dodging the attacks of dozens of tentacles, and occasionally hitting the tentacles with a claw, a fist, or a palm. Every hit would cause the tentacles to burst open, and then dark blood would flow out.

"A citizen?"

The gentle young man was still speaking in a slow tone at this time.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "How can a citizen come to a place like ours? And he doesn't have an attached interface, so he's not a citizen."

The plump woman also nodded in agreement, "It can't be a citizen. Citizens can't fight in close combat... But I think your focus is strange. Shouldn't you tell me what this thing is?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have recovered from his shock. He began to look around for weapons and said, "What else could it be? A biological monster. I've seen a lot of them during World War III!"

The other two obviously disagreed, and they also got up from the ground. The gentle young man hugged his chest and looked at Wu Xianxiao with a gentle face, while the plump woman followed the middle-aged man to find weapons.

At this moment, Wu Xianxiao's back was finally scratched by the tentacle. With just a tear, a large piece of muscle on his back was torn off. However, after being hit, Wu Xianxiao did not stop at all. He rolled on the ground, exerted force with his feet, and pushed with one arm. The whole person rolled more than ten meters away, escaping the attack range of the tentacle.

Dozens of tentacles were waving, and their length extended to the limit, about eight meters, and then they could no longer extend any longer.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, but the next second, all the tentacles retracted back to the hibernation capsule and began to tear and pull at the bottom of the capsule.

No one knew what the tentacle monster's true form was, but it was obvious that it could not leave the hibernation capsule. It also seemed to have some intelligence and knew where to attack the hibernation capsule. Its power was enormous, and although black blood splattered during the tearing attack, it tore the surface of the hibernation capsule apart, causing sparks to flash everywhere.

At this time, the middle-aged man ran to Wu Xianxiao's side and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any weapons? Even if you don't have guns, what about cold weapons? You should have a wrench or something, right?"

This middle-aged man was big and strong, nearly two meters tall, with his upper body exposed. He was full of muscles and had many scars on his skin. He looked like a fierce man.

Wu Xianxiao said, "Go into the passage, there are some things in there that can be used as weapons!"

After saying that, Wu Xianxiao ran to the maintenance base station first.

The three newcomers, led by the middle-aged man, also ran towards the maintenance base station. Jiujiu was still following closely behind Wu Xianxiao in the air, but he was careful to avoid the gentle young man.

The four people and the bird rushed to the maintenance base station, and behind them, the tentacles had completely torn open the bottom of the hibernation capsule. Dozens of tentacles kept scratching the ground, and their speed was not much slower than their running.

When they arrived at the maintenance base station, the three newcomers were stunned. The middle-aged man immediately shouted, "No way, this is a maintenance base station, not an Earth Antiquities Exhibition Hall, nor a garbage dump!?"

In addition to some equipment and some fixed maintenance vehicles, the maintenance base station also has stone statues, wood carvings, fishing nets, a broken wooden table, several leather shields, and even a broken tank gun barrel.

Wu Xianxiao said, "These are things that our predecessors randomly picked from the dream world. They are useless, so they are all piled here."

There was too much information in these words, and the three newcomers were full of doubts, but the sound of the hibernation capsule hitting the metal wall of the passage kept coming from behind them, so they didn't bother to ask more questions. The plump woman picked up a broken wooden board from the ground, and the gentle young man picked up a leather shield. Only the middle-aged man actually picked up the broken tank barrel and used it as a stick. Although it was difficult to lift it, he could still use it.

The middle-aged man shouted to Wu Xianxiao: "How do we fight?"

Wu Xianxiao said, "Wait a moment!"

After saying that, he picked up the Buddha mud from the pile of debris, and then pressed it directly on his broken arm. The black sphere turned into something like mud and merged into his broken arm. Then, a black arm quickly extended from his broken arm, and the color of the new arm turned into flesh color in just a breath. The three of them were not surprised by this.

They thought that this black ball was a battlefield version or a fast version of carbon-based nano-object. They had all seen this thing before, so it was not surprising.

Wu Xianxiao felt an intense pain of numbness and itching coming from his new arm, but the pain was quickly dissipating. Along with the pain came a kind of heat flow, which kept running through his body. All the muscle areas it passed through felt swollen, and his whole body seemed to have increasing strength.

Although Wu Xianxiao had been prepared for this situation, he did not expect the effect of the Buddha mud to be so immediate. Although the deformed monster was about to arrive, he had to immediately use the Quiet Tiger Squat, and then work hard to move his qi and blood to spread the heat as much as possible throughout his body.

Faintly, Wu Xianxiao seemed to hear some kind of howling, some kind of groaning, some kind of screaming in pain, and the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures composed of these sounds.

How can one recite Buddhist scriptures while howling, groaning and screaming?
But he did hear it, but when he listened carefully, he heard nothing, only the sound of blood flowing in his body.

The three newcomers saw Wu Xianxiao dancing with joy, and his breathing was as loud as a bellows. Seeing that the tentacle monster was about to rush out of the passage, Wu Xianxiao was not in any attacking state at all. The middle-aged man roared and rushed towards the tentacle monster with the tank barrel.

The tank barrel was about 1.5 meters long and incredibly heavy, but this middle-aged man was able to lift it. He threw the barrel down towards the tentacles. With a dull bang, several tentacles slammed into the barrel. The barrel was slightly concave and bent. The huge force directly burst the middle-aged man's hands, and the remaining tentacles rolled directly towards him.

At this critical moment, a figure rushed to the side of the middle-aged man and put a hand on his shoulder. It seemed like a light hand, but a soft and strong force wrapped him up and threw him diagonally backwards, and he stopped only after falling seven or eight meters away.

The figure's other arm was like a claw, and it kept tearing at the tentacles that were rolling over. Pieces of the tentacles were actually torn off by these claws.

It was Wu Xianxiao who saved the middle-aged man at the critical moment.

He did not stop, stomping the ground with his feet, and almost completely exploded all his strength and blood in the shortest time. The surface of his body was red, and white steam was rising from the surface of his skin. His speed was almost beyond the speed of the retina to accept. In the blink of an eye, he broke the interruptions of dozens of tentacles, and the whole figure bent forward, leaping like a tiger.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Xianxiao crashed into the hibernation capsule. Inside the capsule was a huge human face with tentacles sticking out of its mouth, while the back half of the face was attached flatly to the inside of the capsule. With the force of Wu Xianxiao's collision, his hands, feet, and body turned into weapons, and he fiercely crashed into the nose, eyes, and mouth of the huge human face. With a loud noise, the hibernation capsule was actually knocked more than ten meters away, and rolled on the ground for a few times before it finally stopped moving completely. It and the tentacles fell to the ground, and turned into dirty blood in an instant.

It all happened so quickly, from the middle-aged man carrying the tank barrel to attacking, to him almost dying, to Wu Xianxiao rushing forward to rescue him, and then crashing into the hibernation capsule. It was only a little over a second before the three newcomers came to their senses. They hurriedly looked carefully at the damaged hibernation capsule and saw the tentacles turning into blood.

"Awesome, really awesome!" the middle-aged man exclaimed loudly, and then he trotted towards Wu Xianxiao.

The other two newcomers also ran over in the same manner. Wu Xianxiao smiled and suddenly shouted, "Everyone close your eyes!!"

The sudden shout, coupled with the momentum of him just killing the tentacle monster, made the three newcomers actually close their eyes instinctively. Then the next moment, Wu Xianxiao rushed to the gentle young man, punched him in the chest, and tore his throat with one claw.

With a hissing sound, the middle-aged man and the plump woman were about to open their eyes. Then the next moment, they both wailed in pain. Not only did they not dare to open their eyes, they even covered their ears.

A cold and greasy voice said, "How strange! How did you find out?"

As the sound rang out, the middle-aged man and the plump woman howled at the same time. Snake scale-like marks appeared on their skin, and they were becoming more and more obvious.

“…It smells so bad!”

While Wu Xianxiao was talking, he kept moving. Facing the human-face-shaped snake head that emerged from the gentle young man's neck, he almost used up all his strength. His combined arms had a force of at least a thousand pounds. His two claws, like scissors, tore the snake head in half at the same time.

The snake head that was still wriggling and changing shape did not have any expression of pain. It was gradually turning into a human face, and the human face showed interest. Its mouth was still wriggling, and Wu Xianxiao could naturally see it clearly with his dynamic vision.

"Interesting, I remember you, little one..."

The snake's head flew into the air and turned into a wisp of pink smoke and disappeared.

The two remaining newcomers were still howling, but the scale marks on their skin gradually disappeared. After a few minutes, they both stopped howling in exhaustion. The woman fainted, while the middle-aged man half-knelt up and said in a deep voice, "What was that!? What on earth was that just now?"

"Pollution, no, it should be the parasite of the pollution source, the culprit for the destruction of 6120 to 6122... the pink snake." Wu Xianxiao said indifferently.

He looked at the tragic scene and saw that only two of the five new recruits were left. He sighed and said, "New recruits... welcome Su Xing, welcome..."

"Come into this nightmare."
