Eternal Night

Chapter 151: Goats of the Black Forest

Wu Xianxiao finally understood where the premonition of danger that had been in his mind ever since he came to this capital came from.

Level 3 nightmare!

It turned out to be the case.

After Wu Xianxiao arrived in the capital, he was fine at first and didn't feel anything too bad. Even when he passed by those rebel patrols, he didn't feel any danger. After all, with the title of a common man, he could almost ignore most high-tech weapons five steps away, and within five steps... Sorry, he is really faster than the gun.

But as time passed, in the morning, his premonition of danger began to appear, and it became more serious as time went on, which led to him forcibly dragging Yu Rui to the streets to ambush those spies, with the purpose of finding the location of the New Human Revolutionary Army in the slightest possibility.

At that time, he didn't know where the premonition of danger came from, but now he knows that it came from the third-level nightmare!
When Yu Rui led ten maintenance personnel to prepare for the operation, Wu Xianxiao naturally followed, and he told Yu Rui the situation in detail.

"Wait a minute, is this also your supernatural power?"

Yu Rui asked in surprise.

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "This... can also be considered an extraordinary ability?"

Yu Rui affirmed: "Yes, of course. Think about it, can an ordinary mortal have such a strong sixth sense? This ability to almost quantify danger is a very standard supernatural ability. Very good, your information is very important and must be told to others immediately!"

Wu Xianxiao watched as Yu Rui sent this information to a group of people via a special mobile phone.

Gao Changgong's development exceeded their expectations.

There is a scientist in Gao Changgong's team, a real scientist, not a hand-made genius like Wang Yihui. This scientist also has two graduate apprentices and a group of maintenance personnel with various skill branches, so what they research, manufacture, and analyze are better than Wang Yihui.

This includes the long-term use of technological creations that surpass this dream world, which will directly lead to the appearance of weak points in the curtain, and the transformation and cracking of various creations in this dream world without exceeding its technological level. All of this is led by a scientist named Xu Yi.

Relying on these conveniences, Yu Rui had already contacted Wang Yihui more than ten minutes ago and informed him of the news truthfully. Wang Yihui was so frightened that he immediately stopped many transformation and manufacturing projects and destroyed some of the things that had already been manufactured.

At this time, Yu Rui sent a group message, and all the maintenance teams, maintenance squads, and individual maintenance personnel in the entire capital area who had been contacted knew about the situation.

After Yu Rui finished the operation, he said to Wu Xianxiao: "A nightmare that can exist physically can resist the Gauss sniper rifle. This essentially shows its strength. Your premonition of danger is correct. It is estimated that the possibility of its outbreak is gradually increasing over time."

Wu Xianxiao was also confused at this time. He asked, "Seriously speaking, I can resist Gauss sniper rifles from five steps away with my title, so what about Nightmare or something similar?"

Yu Rui smiled bitterly. He shook his head at Wu Xianxiao and said, "You know nothing... The title is created by the main brain extracting pollution sources. We don't know how it is done, but there is no doubt that the title is essentially a kind of underlying logic of the world, similar to the conceptual weapons in cutting-edge scientific theory. The more powerful the title, the more so. This is equivalent to, equivalent to..."

Yu Rui couldn't find any words to describe it for a moment, but Wu Xianxiao knew it immediately: "Innate spiritual treasure?"

"Yes, yes, yes, what an ancient word." Yu Rui said repeatedly: "It is the innate spiritual treasure in mythological novels. If nightmares also rely on similar things to resist Gauss sniper rifles, then do you think it is scarier for a nightmare to have an innate spiritual treasure or a nightmare to resist with the flesh?"

Wu Xianxiao understood immediately.

There is no doubt that a nightmare holding an innate spiritual treasure is even more terrifying!

Yu Rui whispered to Wu Xianxiao at the same time, "I had some doubts at first. They confused you with the Level 3 Nightmare. After all, they must have known about our appearance, and you had demonstrated on the spot how to block a Gauss sniper bullet with your body. But now I am more and more sure that this is not the case."

Wu Xianxiao looked back in confusion. Yu Rui continued in a low voice, "Nightmares rarely have humanoid forms. Even if they do, they still have obvious pollution and distortion features. You look no different from a human. This was my biggest doubt before. Now that your sense of danger has proven it, it's clear that they didn't misunderstand anything. The third-level nightmare is not you."

Wu Xianxiao was immediately unhappy: "What do you mean by no different from a human in appearance? According to the data panel of my personal information displayed in the main brain, I am a pure-blooded human!"

Yu Rui was too lazy to argue with Wu Xianxiao, he had already led the team to start the action.

There are ten maintenance personnel, plus Yu Rui and Wu Xianxiao, a total of twelve people. They are in disguise and led by Yu Rui. They communicate with each other through modified mobile phones and headsets, and transform themselves into ordinary people wandering around various areas in the city. They seem to be walking aimlessly, but each time they can just avoid the area where the rebel spies are located. At the same time, they can collect information of all sizes about the rebels, government forces, and the city.

All this information was gathered at the base where Gao Changgong was located. Through the primary artificial intelligence written by Xu Yi, big data screening was carried out, and various information began to emerge one by one.

"...These areas are most likely where the royal family is located."

"The rebels seized control of the capital by surprise attack, and the leader of the rebels was the highest commander of the National Guard that protected the capital. So unless the country's field troops directly bombarded the capital, the royal family would only have a small number of guards and government agents. This is why there was no street fighting in the capital."

Gao Changgong passed this series of information to the rest of the team. He also exclaimed: "It really is Yu Rui. He was originally an elite agent of the human government, and he is still as skilled as ever."

Everyone around expressed their understanding. After all, the maintenance staff was full of talented people, and this was nothing new. Gao Changgong looked at the sleepy Hao Yunfeng and said, "Yu Rui said that Wu Xianxiao felt the danger, and as time went by, the danger became more serious. What about you? Did you feel it?"

Hao Yunfeng came back to his senses, and he immediately nodded seriously, "Yes, although it's very vague, but I do feel more and more anxious. This is indeed a dangerous instinct."

Gao Changgong also said: "Yes, I have this feeling, but I didn't know it was a danger instinct before... It seems that Wu Xianxiao's extraordinary ability is very useful. It should be a premonition of the consciousness category and a perception-type extraordinary ability. This is very useful for team combat, and it is not too far away from us. It is in District Z, right next to our district..."

While the two were talking, other teams also received feedback. The team closest to those areas immediately arranged personnel to begin investigating, and the rest of the people also expressed their feelings. It was indeed as Wu Xianxiao said, the extraordinary people in their team all felt inexplicably anxious, and the time point was exactly when the third-level nightmare appeared.

It was obvious that the third-level nightmare was preparing to do something big, but no one knew what it wanted to do yet.

At the same time, in a building somewhere in the capital area, this location is one of the several possible areas where the royal family is confirmed by Yu Rui.

"No... Dad, Mom, Brother..."

A blonde girl about twelve years old was kneeling in the ventilation duct.

This is below the basement of the building.

As a shelter secretly built by the royal family, this building has no special features from the outside, but there is a huge space under the basement. Its entrance and exit is a nuclear defense project door. Once closed, even a tactical nuclear bomb cannot break it open in a short period of time unless it is opened by someone inside.

At the same time, the entire underground area is completely enclosed by an alloy shell, making it almost impossible for external force to penetrate the interior. This is the life-saving trump card prepared by the royal family of the country. Its construction began as early as 20 years ago. This is also the reason why the royal family came here as soon as possible after avoiding the rebels.

They believed that as long as they closed the gate, they would be safe, and until the rebels were wiped out by the regular field army, or the Supreme Empire intervened in the coup, they would be safe. This place would be enough to protect them, and no force from outside could break in.

This shelter has enough energy, fresh water, food, and oxygen circulation to keep 500 people alive for at least a year.

They rest easy!

Unless... the threat comes directly from within!
Right behind the ventilation duct where the little girl was kneeling, countless flesh and blood turned into tentacles and surged forward. Each tentacle was densely packed with small human heads, enough to make people with claustrophobia faint. These small lump-like heads were all wailing, groaning, or chanting some regular melody in unison.

The little girl covered her ears tightly, but blood still flowed out of her ears.

Blood began to flow out of her eyes, and the goose bumps on her skin gradually took shape and turned into tiny human heads.

"Dad, Mom, Brother... Did you see it? That dark forest..."

The little girl suddenly stopped crying. She opened her eyes and looked at the surging flesh and blood. Her pupils had been completely distorted into two slightly larger human heads, both of which looked like her.

"...I saw it, a goat in the Black Forest..."

At the same time, at a location about fifty kilometers in diameter from the capital, several men and women wearing cloaks that covered their entire bodies were looking at the ring of flesh and blood in front of them, as well as the completely corrupted and deformed pieces of flesh within the ring. These men and women were watching quietly, without any unnecessary reaction.

"It succeeded. With the help of the skills they practiced, they successfully brought the black goat cubs to the capital." A man whispered.

The others watched all this silently. After a long while, someone said, "It really is the Black Forest, the baseline reality of the 0.2 dream world..."

As they were talking, a crystal ball in one of the men's hands shattered into gravel. The man said with regret, "What a pity. This fantasy object is quite powerful..."

Several people nodded slightly, but someone else said, "Using a top fantasy item to exchange for Chu Minghao's failure is simply too cost-effective. We can't let him continue to become stronger, especially now that the leader has not awakened. Otherwise, even if the leader wakes up, he will not be able to fight against him."

"Let's go. We have to get away from the capital as soon as possible. The goat kids in the Black Forest are a multiplying nightmare. The more they kill, the more they devour, and the more pollution they cause. In the end, they may even attract the attention of real black goats. With this capital as the core, the area within a 500-kilometer diameter is not safe!"

"The only regret is that the young goat was too weak at first. It would die if a high-powered weapon evaporated its flesh or hit the shepherd at its core. Otherwise, if it were in a megacity of the three major countries, I'm afraid that the black goat's body would eventually be partially materialized."

Several people talked to each other, and then they looked towards the capital at the same time.

"Now, just wait for the beginning of the prelude to destruction. Chu Minghao, are you going to come back from behind the curtain to kill the Black Goat Kid? Or are you going to stay behind the curtain and continue to redeem the world?"

“We’re very curious.”
