Eternal Night

Chapter 176 Hero?

The captain's mind was full of questions.

He had no idea what was happening before his eyes.

A single skeleton monster is not very powerful. The dozen or so of them are basically the elites among the elites. Even if they are not as good as those warriors, they are also the vanguards of ordinary fighting skills. More than a dozen people besieged several skeleton monsters and easily broke them into bones.

While running away, the captain also checked these bones and confirmed that there was nothing unusual about them. They were indeed dry bones that had withered for a long time. There were no hanging wires, machinery, or other driving forces on these skeletons as a whole. They were simply dry bones put together.

But this is even more terrifying.

More than a dozen elite agents and soldiers had their worldviews shattered.

Is this really the world?
Or have they actually died without knowing it, and this place is actually the underworld?

The crowd had no answer, and in the smoke-filled area and surrounded by a large number of skeleton monsters, they could only follow the human voices. No matter what was over there, this was at least their only hope.

Actually...

This special operations team was simply being held back by the maintenance team in the area.

The maintenance team in this area was ordered to conduct various tests on the weak points of the curtain, including exploration and technological weapon testing.

As the maintenance personnel gradually gained a foothold in this world, they not only operated assets and acquired various houses and buildings, but also had their own companies and employees. Various social networks were also gradually formed. A few scientific research talents among them began to manufacture weapons and creations that were close to the technological limits of this world.

The most rare thing is that this time the dream world has gathered almost all the maintenance teams and maintenance squads, so all kinds of intelligence exchanges and various fancy operations are constantly going on, and the maintenance team testing weapons in this area is one of them. They entered back and forth six times, and each time they tried again and again on the periphery, retreating when they encountered monsters, and retreating when they encountered monsters.

The skeleton monsters don't seem to have much intelligence, but that doesn't mean the things deep inside this weak spot in the curtain don't have intelligence, so...

At this moment, the special operations team naturally didn't know this, and it was the first time they suffered casualties since entering this bizarre scene.

A bone shell came from a distance and hit two people in the team. One of them was broken in half from the back, and then the upper and lower body was split into two. Then it hit the person behind him and almost embedded directly into the chest of this person.

The two men died on the spot... no, or rather, they did not die all at once. They were both howling in pain on the ground, especially the one who was cut in half. He was even more miserable. He kept howling in pain while dragging his broken upper body and reaching out to everyone for help. The one whose chest was dented by the blow, on the other hand, fainted directly and was probably dead after a while. He was much luckier.

Seeing the man with only half of his body left reaching out to grab him, even though this man was their teammate, everyone was terrified and their faces turned pale. No one dared to reach out or stay for a moment. They all ran forward with their heads down as if they didn't see anything.

Despair, fear, weirdness...

All of this haunted everyone like a nightmare.

This was different from anything they had expected; this was simply not a place for humans.

"Oh my god, is this really hell!?"

Someone screamed, and the sound seemed to attract the attention of something. Everyone saw some kind of distorted shadow rushing out from the smoke and falling directly on the screaming person.

The man immediately stood still, and everyone subconsciously left his side. They saw that he suddenly laughed wildly, then scratched out his eyeballs with his fingers, held them in his hand and handed them to everyone, saying as he handed them over: "I saw something good, you guys come and have a look too..."

"what!"

The two few women in the team screamed and rushed into the smoke without looking back.

The rest of the people were all filled with fear and were horrified. They didn't dare to stay for even a second and just stayed in front of this thing that was laughing crazily and scratching its facial organs with its fingers...

The crowd ran forward for dozens of meters, and then they were so scared that they dared not move, because the two female team members who had just rushed to the front also stood still. There was a vaguely human-like, but horrible and rotten thing attached to them, and then they also grinned, tearing each other's eyeballs, tongues, ears, and hair, tearing their faces full of wounds and rotten flesh, a bloody mess.

"Stay here, stay here with us."

The two female team members laughed and screamed, tearing each other apart, and gradually turned into two bloody people.

Finally, someone's spirit broke, and he ran around roaring madly, directly leaving the main group.

The captain immediately yelled: "Come back, don't let anyone..."

The person who escaped immediately fell silent...

The remaining seven team members looked at the captain, who turned pale and shouted, "Keep going! Keep running forward, don't stop!"

Everyone did not dare to delay and continued running forward following the captain. Then they were horrified to find that there were three twisted shadows floating behind them, and the two female teammates were no longer making any sound...

"God, save us..."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"I also have a daughter..."

Several teammates were mentally broken, running, crying and screaming, watching the ghosts behind them quickly floating in. Some people pointed guns at their heads and kept pulling the triggers, but the guns did not respond. When they saw the ghosts were about to catch up with them, suddenly a figure broke through the wind from the smoke.

"Snapped!"

The man rushed towards the ghosts and punched the closest ghost. With a loud bang, the whole twisted ghost was immediately broken into pieces. Then the two ghosts seemed to be burned by flames. Their rotten images suddenly turned black and they howled and floated into the smoke.

"Huang Shizhen!" When the captain saw this man, his name, age, identity, image, etc. immediately emerged in his mind, and he shouted loudly.

This is none other than one of the twelve men at the peak of Hua Jin, a strong man in his thirties, with a bald head, muscles all over his body, and dressed like a monk, but without any scars from ordination on his head.

He knocked down a ghost with one punch, and saw the other two ghosts fleeing. He wanted to chase them, but when he saw the eight people behind him crying and snotting, and their legs and feet became weak, his heart softened, and he could only stand still and said, "Who are you? How did you get in!?"

The captain forced himself to calm down. His limbs were weak, but he still stood straight and said, "We are the special operations team of the Supreme Empire. We suspect that you are plotting something bad in our country, so we followed you into this park. Now, please tell us clearly where this place is and what is going on now!?"

Huang Shizhen chuckled and didn't answer. He just looked into the distance and said, "It's such a tragic situation, and you are still talking nonsense here? Believe it or not, I will turn around and leave now. You won't survive for more than five minutes!" The captain's face was furious, but his heart was trembling. Everything around him showed that this was definitely not a trick or a criminal activity he knew about. He immediately slowed down his tone and said, "Mr. Huang, we are just following orders, and it is impossible for us to cause any harm to you and your friends. We can't bear this responsibility, but it has come to this... Many people have died, and they died so miserably."

Huang Shizhen sighed. He was kindhearted. He was actually a Buddhist, but he was not a monk. At this time, he could only say, "Follow us. They are attacking the big bunker. They should take a break after they take it down."

The captain immediately kept this information in mind. Without saying much, he led his team members to barely catch up with Huang Shizhen, who had deliberately slowed down his pace.

They truly saw the combat power of the top master of Chinese martial arts.

It only takes about two seconds to cover a hundred meters. With a stretch of his arms, more than a dozen skeleton monsters were knocked down. They even saw chariots, armored vehicles, tanks, or other things made entirely of skeletons, such as skeleton dogs, skeleton horses, etc., all turned into pieces under his fists.

The ghost that the special operations team feared so much couldn't even get close to him.

But in the captain's opinion, Huang Shizhen did not have any technological products on him, he was just a pair of bare fists, and he remembered all this information in his mind.

After walking for a while, the smoke in front of them suddenly cleared, and they saw a huge fortress appearing more than 200 meters away!

This fortress is made entirely of skeletons. It is about thirty meters high and more than a hundred meters wide and long. Skeletons and ghosts appear from it continuously. There are also a large number of gun muzzles on the fortress, and bone shells are fired at the surroundings. The most terrifying thing is that a kind of skeleton giant about five meters high appears. In addition to bones, these skeleton giants are also inlaid with various metal armor plates. It is more appropriate to say that they are semi-finished mechas rather than skeletons.

In this horrific scene, more than a dozen "people" are besieging the fortress.

The reason why I say "people" is because the captain saw that each of these people seemed to be superhuman, jumping five or six meters, seven or eight meters, and using a pair of flesh fists to smash hard bones directly. Even when facing a skeleton giant, he could easily dismantle it. Especially one of them, he jumped more than twenty meters, which made the captain's eyes twitch, and he could also withstand artillery shells! !
He witnessed the power of the shell with his own eyes. His team members were wearing bulletproof vests and were directly cut in half. However, when the shell landed on this superman, it actually produced friction sparks on his body surface, and then the shell shattered, but he was unharmed...

All the members of the special operations team were stunned by all this, and they all opened their mouths in confusion.

The captain regained consciousness and immediately asked anxiously, "Where exactly is this place? What...are these things?"

Huang Shizhen did not go forward to fight. He just sat in front of everyone to protect them.

Hearing the question, he thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "Originally, it would be impossible for me to let you know, but since you have all come in and seen it, there is no point in hiding it... This place is called the secret blind spot, it is the wound of the world, and it is also the place where all kinds of horrors and weirdnesses are."

Then, Huang Shizhen told the captain some information about the secret blind spots that he knew.

“It started appearing twenty years ago!?”

The captain's heart skipped a beat and he asked carefully.

Huang Shizhen nodded, and he laughed and said, "You remember it too, right? More than 20 years ago, I don't remember exactly when, but suddenly, technology, which had been stagnant for more than a hundred years, suddenly exploded. Many experts are discussing its rationality, saying that the accumulation of technology, humanities, and talents have all reached their limits... But I believe that there must be huge doubts about this within the government, right?"

The captain did not comment, but his attitude made Huang Shizhen know that he was right.

He hummed an unknown ballad and said, "This secret blind spot began to appear at that time. We still don't know the reason for the appearance of this secret blind spot, nor do we know how to prevent it. In the organization..."

"organize!?"

The captain immediately asked: "Are you organized?!"

Huang Shizhen sneered and said, "What else? For more than 20 years, without us to resist all this for you, the whole world would have been swallowed up long ago. By the way, these hidden blind spots will grow. If they are not resolved in a short period of time, their external area will continue to expand!"

The captain felt his head throbbing. He pressed his temples a few times and asked seriously, "So... there are hidden blind spots all over the world?"

Huang Shizhen said: "Of course, this is just one of the countless hidden blind spots, and we have been protecting the whole world for more than 20 years!"

Of course, he didn't say that he had only been in the group for less than a week and that this was just the first weak spot in the veil he had entered.

The captain calmed down a bit at this time, and he immediately said, "Impossible! First, the intelligence departments of various countries... no, let's just say our Supreme Empire, cannot be all good-for-nothings. If there is such a large-scale supernatural phenomenon, we cannot fail to discover it. Second, what you said is not logical. If there is such an organization, why don't they contact our three empires? Do you really think that the civilian organizations in those movies have more powerful technology, resources, and organization than the big powers? If it is related to human civilization and the safety of the world, why would they rather sacrifice themselves than contact us!?"

Huang Shizhen did not answer directly. He just pointed at the ghosts flying around the Skeleton Fortress and said, "Did you see those ghosts? Physical means are completely ineffective against them. We have thrown them and beaten them, but they did not do any harm. Instead, they possessed us and damaged our qi, blood and life. These things are the natural enemies of living people."

The captain asked, "But I see you punch ..."

Huang Shizhen said, "Because I have a strong body and abundant blood and qi, we have tested that as long as we move the blood and qi of a warrior, we can cause harm to them, and they can't even get close. We have also speculated that even if they are not warriors, as long as their blood and qi are extremely strong, this kind of ghost cannot harm or possess them... But do you think this is normal?"

The captain was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's normal?"

Huang Shizhen looked at the captain, his eyes deep, and asked, "Is this strength normal? According to legend, this kind of ghost is an insoluble thing that can be reversed by curses, space, and even time. Haven't you seen all kinds of horror movies about ghosts? Why can a mere mortal's powerful blood resist them?"

The captain was deep in thought, and Huang Shizhen continued, "This is because their strength has not recovered yet. It's a very simple reason. The reason why they didn't tell the three empires, nor announced it to the whole world, is because the fewer people know about them, the fewer people know about the secret corners, the fewer people know about those monsters, curses, legends, and urban terrors, the weaker they are. But if more people know about them and believe in them, they will recover their original strength. By then, I'm afraid that a ghost can exterminate all mankind!"

"This is not..."

The captain said two words and couldn't continue.

Because according to this statement, the actions of Huang Shizhen and the organization behind him are logical.

It is true that if we contact the three major countries and announce it to the whole world, we can have the most manpower and material resources to fight against this hidden blind spot, but it will also cause the monsters in it to be invincible, and all kinds of legendary nightmares, demons, goblins, witches, etc. will appear. If the monsters in those religious myths really exert the power in religion, human civilization will be no stronger than an ant in their hands.

Huang Shizhen stood up and said, "And the most important point is that in this secret blind spot, technological means are completely ineffective! You should have tested it, right? If so, what's the point of contacting the three major countries? Sending a million mortals in to die?"

"And we... as the warriors that you are wary of, suppress, and want to eliminate, we are the ones who are protecting and saving you!"

As he spoke, Huang Shizhen rushed forward and smashed a ghost into pieces with one punch. His blood and energy burst out, burning the rest of the attacking ghosts, causing them to squeak and flee far away.

After seeing this scene and hearing the truth, the captain and all the team members were extremely shocked and speechless for a moment.

So they all hid in the darkness, fighting non-stop, and sacrificing themselves non-stop...

A hero! ?
