Eternal Night

Chapter 142: Covering
Wu Xianxiao looked at the head in his hand with curiosity, while the three people from District C all stood in the distance and dared not move.

This scene is so scary!
Wu Xianxiao was holding a human head, and behind him was a huge, rotten, headless body that was grabbing and fumbling around with its hands.

"This thing doesn't seem to die." Wu Xianxiao waved to the three of them.

The three of them stared at each other, not daring to move forward for a moment, but the beautiful woman gritted her teeth and walked straight up, saying, "You are so powerful. We have encountered this kind of immortal monster before. Its strength is about two to three times that of ordinary people. The key is that it will not die. In high-baseline reality, we can use technological weapons to neutralize it, but in low-baseline reality, we can only run away..."

Wu Xianxiao said in surprise: "Use the skills, use the extraordinary power."

At this time, two men also came behind the beauty. After hearing what she said, they looked at Wu Xianxiao with even more surprise, and even subconsciously took a few steps back.

Wu Xianxiao naturally saw their little movements. Although he was curious, he did not ask or say much at this time. Instead, he rubbed the head in his hand and looked at the tall rotten body that was approaching.

The next scene made the three of them even more terrified.

Wu Xianxiao flashed in front of the tall rotten body, and with one slap, he smashed the body and the head in his hand into meat paste. It was real meat paste, with bones, flesh and internal organs all combined into one big ball.

The beauty and the two men retched at the same time, but Wu Xianxiao didn't care about them. After the slap, he immediately gathered up his energy and blood, and while smoke began to come out of his body, he punched the ground several times.

This was the shore of a lake, mostly moist mud and few rocks. After a few punches, a big hole appeared on the ground. Wu Xianxiao kicked the rotten meat down and pushed the surrounding soil over to bury it. This was not over yet. After thinking about it, he picked up a huge rock three or four people tall and pressed it on top.

After doing all this, in Wu Xianxiao's eyes, the weak area of ​​the curtain that was slowly spreading began to shrink, and the speed of shrinkage was very fast. In just a few seconds, it almost shrank back to the area around everyone.

Seeing this scene, Wu Xianxiao breathed a sigh of relief and roughly knew how to deal with the relevant weak points of the curtain. Only then did he look at a few people.

"Please introduce yourself to me, Wu Xianxiao." Wu Xianxiao said to the three people with a smile.

The three of them relaxed a little at this time, because they realized that no matter how alert they were, it would take Wu Xianxiao no more than three seconds to kill them. Killing one person per second was already a compliment to them.

The beauty spoke first: "Lin Nianzhi, these two are my teammates."

The younger of the two men said, "Wang Yihui, big brother, just call me Xiao Wang."

The older one also nodded and said, "Yu Rui."

After the three were introduced, they suddenly saw the sun setting from above, and the place where they were standing became a sunny noon day.

Wang Yihui jumped up immediately, ran quickly to the huge rock, lay down and listened, then looked around on the ground. Everyone watched him busy alone for more than a minute, and Wu Xianxiao had no idea what he was doing.

When Wang Yihui stood up, Lin Nianzhi immediately said, "What's going on, Xiao Wang?"

Wang Yihui nodded, but did not explain immediately. Instead, he said, "Let's leave here first. There are too many people here, and there are people who come here for camping and picnics. Let's go back and talk about it later."

The three of them seemed to be old teammates and had a tacit understanding. Then they looked at Wu Xianxiao at the same time.

Wu Xianxiao picked up the Samoyed that was about to bite him from the ground, and said to the three people with a smile: "I will come along to discuss the curtain maintenance issue."

The three of them naturally wanted it. The four of them returned to the road outside from the lake, and Wu Xianxiao saw that the three of them actually drove a small truck.

Yu Rui went to the driver's cab by himself, while Lin Nianzhi and Wang Yihui entered the truck compartment at the back.

Wu Xianxiao also followed him into the truck compartment and found a lot of sundries inside. Lin Nianzhi said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. We've only been in the nearby town for a few hours. It's already great that we can get this means of transportation legally. Let's talk about everything else later."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently, dropped the Samoyed in his hand, and sat down at random. As the car started, he asked Wang Yihui: "What were you looking at just now? Did you find anything?"

Wang Yihui did not hesitate and said immediately: "Yes, and we discovered a lot of things. First, there is no living thing under the rock. Second, when you smashed the undead monster, its flesh and blood returned to the curtain and disappeared into thin air."

Wu Xianxiao was stunned. He did discover the first point. When the sun was shining, there was nothing under the rock. He could sense it clearly, but he didn't pay attention to the disappearing flesh and blood. Wang Yihui continued, "So my previous speculation is probably true. The inside and outside of the curtain are actually different baseline realities! The outside of the curtain may be the real baseline reality of 0.6, or even lower, while the human world inside the curtain miraculously maintains a high baseline reality. For some special reason, this world has two different baseline realities, and they are connected to each other with some kind of spatial overlapping characteristics."

Wu Xianxiao listened in silence, and Lin Nianzhi immediately retorted: "This is also the point I refuted you before. If the inside and outside of the curtain are two different baseline realities, then there are two unexplainable problems. Why don't the monsters outside the curtain come inside the curtain? Second, if it is just two different spaces overlapping, then why is the core of the emergency mission to prevent the people inside the curtain from knowing the truth of the curtain? What's the harm in knowing it?"

Wang Yihui frowned and said, "The first question can still be explained, that is, Chu Minghao did something, such as super powerful fantasy items, or the characteristics of this world, which prevented the monsters behind the curtain from entering the curtain, which is equivalent to a cage that blocks them. But the second question... I am also confused. Why would letting the humans of this world know the truth about the curtain lead to mission failure and the arrival of doomsday?"

Neither of them had any idea, so Lin Nianzhi asked Wu Xianxiao, "Mr. Wu, do you have any ideas?"

Wu Xianxiao said bluntly: "I don't know, I don't understand, I don't want to think about it, anyway, I just take care of the curtain maintenance area that belongs to me. I can't use my brain, but I can fight."

Lin Nianzhi and Wang Yihui looked at each other, and Lin Nianzhi immediately smiled and said to Wu Xianxiao: "But we have heard the information that the main brain and Chu Minghao said before. Obviously, in addition to monsters like today, there are also curtain worlds similar to decryption or rules behind the curtain. In this case, relying on force alone will not work."

Wang Yihui also said immediately: "We also have to consider the timeliness. Currently, there is only one weak point in the curtain, and the monster inside is also very weak, so we can easily solve it quickly, but what about later? From the known information, I suspect that the curtain will appear at multiple points at the same time, and the difficulty will increase significantly. Angkor is really amazing, but you are only one person, and you can't split yourself. What if other curtains expand and involve a large number of humans in this world?"

Wu Xianxiao was indeed worried about this.

The rule-based and decryption-based curtains are really his nemesis.

"I have two other teammates. They are on the other side of the curtain maintenance area, but... what you said does make sense."

Lin Nianzhi immediately seized the opportunity and said, "How about our two teams unite?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned. He asked, "Join forces? But our two teams already have overlapping maintenance areas. Doesn't this count as a collaboration?"

Lin Nianzhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm not referring to this kind of alliance, but the entire alliance except for the weak points of the curtain."

Wu Xianxiao frowned, not understanding Lin Nianzhi's meaning for a moment, and asked, "For example?"

Lin Nianzhi pointed at Wang Yihui and said, "Let me introduce you to Wang Yihui, the brain of our team. We have relied on his activeness to survive many dream worlds before, and he also has some good suggestions for this emergency mission."

Wu Xianxiao looked at Wang Yihui, a young man who looked to be about 20 years old and still a little immature. He smiled immaturely and said to Wu Xianxiao: "What I am going to say next is actually my personal analysis of this emergency mission. I can't say whether it is accurate or not. Just listen to it, Brother Wu."

Wu Xianxiao nodded, and Wang Yihui said, "First of all, I think this dream world mission will last a long time. It is definitely not something that can be completed in five or ten days. To save a world, even a person like Chu Minghao will have to do his best. Otherwise, it is impossible to bring all the maintenance personnel of Gaia together. I personally estimate that this mission will last more than one month and less than half a year."

Wu Xianxiao frowned and asked, "What about the weekend? Even if we are in the dream world, once the weekend begins, we will still be dragged into the weekend."

Wang Yihui immediately replied: "Mastermind! The Mastermind can provide shielding, or some other method to offset one or two weekend drags. When the Mastermind was upgraded before, it suppressed all the shelters on behalf of our maintenance personnel. It can be seen that the Mastermind can do these things!"

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently and asked, "Go on."

Wang Yihui immediately said: "Given that the mission time limit this time is extremely long, and the later it is, the more likely it is that multiple high-difficulty curtain weak points will appear, so we must be prepared for the curtain to collapse!"

Wu Xianxiao couldn't help asking again: "Did this mission fail soon?"

Wang Yihui laughed and shook his head, "No, the collapse of the curtain and the failure of the mission are actually two different things, because there is an important message in the mission, which is that the people of this world 'know' the truth behind the curtain!"

"Then on the other hand, wouldn't it be fine if we didn't let them know the truth?"

Wu Xianxiao was even more surprised and said, "The curtain has collapsed. They have all seen the monster. Doesn't this count as knowing the truth?"

Wang Yihui continued with a smile: "So I have a plan, which is mainly based on public opinion control and multiple falsehoods. Its name is..."

"Double Concealment Plan!"
