Gao Wu: After holding back for eighteen years, my words are divine.

The RV sped across the wilderness.

It has to be said that the effect of the Watcher's Skin is simply immediate.

That aura of fear originating from S-rank made low-level monsters tremble with fear.

Along the way, let alone attacks, even mutated rats would detour around this vehicle.

However, the situation changed when the car reached the entrance of a valley surrounded by mountains.

Behind the car, the sun was shining brightly at three in the afternoon, and the sky was cloudless.

The valley in front of the car was shrouded in thick, gray clouds.

The rain poured down, the wind howled, and even the faint rumble of thunder could be heard.

It's as if an invisible boundary has split the world in two.

"Zi"

Wang Meng slammed on the brakes, his expression grave.

In the passenger seat, Guo Shuai was munching on a dry, compressed biscuit, crumbs falling all over him.

He looked out the window at the starkly different sky and swallowed hard.

"Brother Wang, something's not right about this valley."

"The yin energy is too strong. Although my senses haven't triggered any alarms yet, I feel uneasy."

Wang Meng nodded and glanced at the scroll left behind by Liu Yuqing.

The red dots above were flashing, indicating they were very close.

"It's just ahead."

Wang Meng said in a deep voice, "Let's notify the big boss first."

……

inside the car.

On the large bed, Jiang Nan was supporting Chen Tong's long, beautiful legs, helping her with gentle rehabilitation exercises.

"Ouch...be gentle..."

Chen Tong bit her lip, her cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with shyness and dependence.

Jiangnan gestured to her with his eyes to bear it; as the leader, he should pamper his own woman.

Especially since this is the first time for both parties, some after-sales service is still necessary.

On the other sofa, Liu Yuqing was taking a nap while hugging a cushion.

In the open kitchen, Yu Shishi was deep in thought, staring at the rice cooker.

She was contemplating an ultimate philosophical question that had puzzled humanity for thousands of years.

Do you need to add water when steaming rice?

"Um…"

Yu Shishi bit her finger, her brows furrowed.

"It seems like... no water is added?"

"I remember the rice we usually eat is dry. If you add water, won't it turn into porridge?"

"Yes! That's right! That's exactly it!"

Yu Shishi slapped her forehead, realizing she was a genius!

She analyzed even such complex logic thoroughly!

"Heh heh heh, this time I'm sure I'll make perfect rice and amaze everyone!"

Just as she was feeling smug, the soundproof door to the driver's cab opened, and Wang Meng sent a message.

Yu Shishi quickly put down the rice cooker and ran to the bedside to report to her supervisor.

"Boss! Brother Wang Meng said the weather outside has changed, it seems we've arrived!"

Jiang Nan nodded, helped Chen Tong cover herself with the blanket, then got out of bed and walked to the monitor screen.

Looking at the eerie rain-soaked valley on the screen, Jiangnan stood with his arms crossed.

It is indeed very strange.

But he did not feel any fear.

With the power of words by your side, you can go anywhere in the world.

He typed commands directly on the main control panel.

"Guo Shuai, get out of the car."

"Go investigate the red dot."

...

Upon receiving the order, Guo Shuai didn't hesitate.

He quickly finished the remaining biscuits, grabbed his coat from the back of the chair, and his eyes hardened.

This is his first battle after obtaining the Eye of Calamity, and also the moment to prove his worth to the boss!

Be careful.

Wang Meng opened the car door and pointed southeast: "Follow this road, that's where the red dot is located."

As he spoke, he pulled a rusty machete from the toolbox behind him and tossed it to Guo Shuai.

These are torture instruments I casually brought out from the cellar earlier. Although they are a bit rusty, they are quite heavy.

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I'll be back."

Guo Shuai caught the machete, took a deep breath, and stepped into the rain.

He took the compass out of his pocket and held it tightly in his hand.

"Bless me... Old Yang."

Guo Shuai closed his eyes and prayed for a second, then suddenly opened them and walked towards the muddy mountain road in the southeast direction.

Wang Meng watched his figure gradually disappear into the rain and mist, and sighed.

"I hope you can come back alive, Guo Shuai."

...

The rain is getting heavier.

Guo Shuai walked along the muddy mountain road, his steps uneven.

It took about twenty minutes to walk.

Suddenly, he stopped and squatted down.

On the muddy ground, there were two tire tracks that had not been completely washed away by the rain.

"Wide tires, off-road tread pattern... Has anyone been here before?"

Guo Shuai felt a chill run down his spine.

It seems that the terminal signal tower is likely ahead, and someone has already gotten there first.

He stood up again, looked at the winding uphill road ahead, and gripped the machete tightly in his hand.

Next, we'll be climbing the mountain.

however.

Just as he was about to take a step, he suddenly saw a figure waving at him from the shadows of the trees not far away.

The movement was stiff, but it wasn't very clear in the rain.

If it were a newbie who hadn't experienced a beating yet, they might think they'd encountered a survivor greeting them.

Having just experienced the Scarecrow BOSS and almost been tricked to death, Guo Shuai was immediately alarmed!

"monster!!"

"It must be a monster!!"

Guo Shuai immediately held the machete horizontally in front of his chest, his muscles tense, extremely vigilant!

The scarecrow instilled despair in him and caused him to develop severe PTSD.

In this godforsaken place, all the abrupt, strange, and unusual phenomena must be the work of monsters!

as predicted.

The figure who was "greeting" him stopped pretending when he saw that Guo Shuai wasn't falling for it.

"roar!!"

The figure suddenly lowered its hand, let out a hoarse roar, and then charged forward!

Behind it followed two other eerie figures!

Guo Shuai's danger perception light flashed red instantly!

"It really is a monster!!"

"Perfect! It's your debut, Eye of Calamity!!"

Guo Shuai was not afraid at all.

As mentioned before, he has already died once, and those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose!

hum!

His left eye activated instantly, and a stream of dark golden data exploded in his mind.

[Analyzing the target...]

[Target: Wandering Corpses (x3)]

[Race]: Monster

[Ability]: None

[Health Points]: 78%

[Paper Combat Strength]: E

[Weakness]: Neck, spine

[Overall Assessment]: A low-level monster with low intelligence and stiff movements.

It poses little threat to you who are armed.

[System Suggestion]: The estimated win rate is 73%. Should we immediately devise an automatic battle plan to eliminate them?

"Plan immediately!!"

Guo Shuai roared inwardly without hesitation.

Because if we don't fight back, their claws will be shoving into our faces!

With his mediocre skills, he's definitely doomed!

Okay, the solution has been generated.

[Taking over the body's nervous system... Takeover successful!]

[Auto-battle initiated!]

The moment the words fell.

Guo Shuai felt a violent tremor in his left eye.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if countless invisible threads were pulling on my limbs and bones, and I instantly lost control of them.

"roar!!"

Three zombies broke through the rain, revealing their dark gray, incomplete, and rotting faces!

They opened their huge mouths, full of black teeth, and lunged at Guo Shuai's neck!

Close at hand!

Guo Shuai watched helplessly as that foul mouth approached, screaming wildly in his heart.

"Hurry up, bro! Do it! Chop it down!!"

Just as the zombie was about to bite the tip of his nose.

Guo Shuai made a move.

But... the actions were completely different from what he had imagined.

Pfft!

His legs suddenly went weak, and he knelt down decisively!

Guo Shuai: "???"

"Huh? Not a buddy??"

"Are you sure this is a fight, and not a surrender and begging for mercy?!"

"That kneeling posture is way too perfect! So this piece of junk really was broken?!"

Just as Guo Shuai was filled with regret, thinking he was about to be bitten to death on the spot.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The lead zombie clearly hadn't expected its prey to suddenly shrink by half.

It missed its target, slipped, and landed right on a smooth, moss-covered stone.

"Huh?"

The zombie lost its balance and flew off, its entire body brushing against Guo Shuai's scalp!

It was at that very moment.

Guo Shuai, kneeling on the ground, seemed to have a mind of his own as he raised the cleaver vertically with the blade pointing upwards.

Stab it!

Using the momentum of the flying corpse, the rusty machete instantly sliced ​​open its belly.

They also severed the already rotten spine!

pat.

The zombie fell into the mud behind Guo Shuai, twitched twice, and then went still.

"Holy crap..."

Guo Shuai's expression changed instantly: "Ahem, I'm sorry, Eye of Calamity, I shouldn't have been your little black-faced one."

However, before he could finish complaining...

Two other zombies pounced on them.

This time, they learned their lesson and instead of running away, they leaped over from the left and right, blocking Guo Shuai's escape route.

"We can't keep kneeling this time, can we?"

Guo Shuai thought to himself.

However, just as he had expected.

The Eye of Calamity did not choose to make him kneel, but instead…

Fall backwards!

Lie flat!

Literally, lying flat!

Guo Shuai lay sprawled in the mud, staring at the gray sky and the cold rain, his heart filled with despair.

"I'm tired. Let's destroy it."

But the next moment.

"Swish! Swish!"

The two zombies, having misjudged the situation once again, missed their target from above and crashed into each other.

Guo Shuai, who was lying on the ground, inexplicably drew a semi-circle in the air with the machete in his hand.

Pfft!

The head of the one on the left was cut off in half.

The one on the right landed with its neck hitting a rock because of the impact.

Click!

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and he died instantly.

Triple kill.

[Battle over.]

[All targets are dead. Auto-battle mode deactivated.]

[Host's evaluation: Your physical condition is too poor, severely limiting the performance of this eye.]

Please upgrade as soon as possible, otherwise it will lower my standards.

The body regained sensation.

Guo Shuai lay in the mud, looking at the disdainful message, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.

"I haven't even insulted you for making me win so pathetically, like a maggot! And you're already looking down on me?!"

"Is this supposed to be a fight? This is more like a staged accident!"

Guo Shuai sighed, got up from the ground, and shook the black blood off his knife.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if it's a black cat or a white cat, as long as it can kill mice, it's a good cat."

"We've already won anyway."

He wiped the rain from his face and looked ahead:

"The terminal signal tower should be up on the mountain. Let's go check it out quickly."

……

Another twenty minutes passed.

Following the two deep tire tracks, Guo Shuai finally reached the top of the mountain, panting heavily.

"Finally...we're here...I'm exhausted."

Guo Shuai was panting heavily, supporting his knees.

He suddenly realized that the Eye of Calamity was right; his physique was indeed too weak, and he would have to find a way to improve it in the future.

however.

When he looked up and saw the scene before him clearly, his pupils instantly shrank to pinpoints!

All that could be seen ahead was the eerie school gate.

A dark green Hummer SUV was parked there.

And beside the car and on the ground…

Scattered among them were three stark white skeletons dressed in yellow-green special operations uniforms!

Besides.

There were also several assault rifles, sniper rifles, and machine guns scattered in the mud!
