Excessive ferocity due to caution

Zhao Yi wasn't sure if Su Qingyao's green umbrella could withstand this kind of rule-based damage.

If placed in the outside world, a half-step great ferocious beast would be completely capable of withstanding temperatures of thousands of degrees or highly corrosive acidic solutions.

But in a chaotic city... it's hard to say.

A firecracker that a child casually plays with by the roadside could potentially kill a half-step monster.

Anything that has been given power by the rules of the chaotic city becomes extremely terrifying!

Guided by Meng Fei, the four quickly found several shared bicycles next to a phone booth by the roadside.

"Su, can you fly?"

Zhao asked Su Qingyao.

The latter shook his head.

"Flight capability is limited."

After some discussion, the three of them ended up riding shared bicycles on the roadside and speeding along the road, while Su Qingyao used her ghostly power to keep Li Xiuer close to her arms so that she wouldn't fall off.

Fortunately, neither of them was very heavy, and the rather old-looking tires of the shared bicycle managed to hold up.

"I have a question!"

Nan Jia rode her bicycle at breakneck speed behind Zhao Yi and Meng Fei, panting heavily.

"Why don't we try to find a car to drive?"

"Wouldn't that be much faster?"

Meng Fei shouted back:

"Didn't you notice there isn't a single car on the nearby road?"

Do you know why?

Nanga:

Why?

Meng Fei:

"Because our location is too remote!"

"Furthermore, K City is different from J City. K City's city center has a lot of traffic, and if any problem occurs, it can easily cause traffic jams!"

"Acid rain is different from ghosts. Although it's terrifying, the damage isn't instantaneous and won't suddenly kill a person!"

"Once the drivers realize something's wrong, they'll scramble around like ants on a hot plate, and traffic will inevitably explode!"

As he rode, Meng Fei explained:

"The same thing happened during the last major drought."

"Let's go to some self-service stores and grab a few more plastic raincoats and gloves, and also put some chemical ice in them. That way, when the acid rain comes, it'll buy us a lot of time!"

Following the path of memory, acid rain began to fall softly overhead.

At first, the acidity in the rainwater is not high, so it is not very irritating to the skin.

However, there is still a slight burning sensation.

The temperature of the rainwater is still relatively low.

It must have lost most of its heat when it fell from the sky.

The group rode shared bicycles into the self-service supermarket and began quickly searching for what they needed.

Then I put on six layers of plastic raincoat, thick leather gloves, and placed chemical ice packs in the middle of the raincoat.

These ice packs will begin to slowly freeze when the outside temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius.

Once the chemicals inside have been released, the ice will melt and absorb heat.

After helping Li Xiuer with these tasks, the four of them rode their bicycles and sped off onto the road!

"We need to hurry."

"These raincoats won't last much longer!"

"Once the raincoats get corroded, our bicycles will be next!"

Zhao Yi said.

After the three of them rode hard for ten minutes, the surrounding temperature rose higher and higher, which soon triggered the chemical ice pack effect inside their raincoats.

Zhao Yi spoke again, reminding him:

"Faster!"

"When rainwater gets too hot, it releases toxic substances into the air!"

Zhao Yi didn't prepare a mask, not because he hadn't thought of it, but because even if a mask soaked in water could protect against some of the toxic gas, it would easily lead to oxygen deprivation during strenuous exercise, which would make him die even faster!

"Almost there!"

Meng Fei was out of breath.

He was starting to feel dizzy.

The toxic substances volatilized from the acid rain began to affect his body.

I began to hallucinate.

He shook his head vigorously.

The hallucinations are getting worse.

As the world before him continued to change, Meng Fei gritted his teeth, knowing that his moment of life and death had arrived.

He grabbed the nail of his right index finger and ripped it off violently!

"Ahhh!!"

Meng Fei screamed in agony!

An excruciating pain shot through the index finger of my right hand, dispelling the surrounding illusion!

Upon seeing his behavior, the viewers in Zhao Yi's live stream exclaimed that he was awesome.

There are many people who are cruel to others, but very few who are so ruthless to themselves!

Meng Fei's self-harm actually demonstrated his strong will to survive!

Zhao Yi cast an admiring glance at him.

No wonder he survived the last trial in the City of Doomsday...

Zhao turned his head away, and Nan Jia, who had the worst physical condition in the team, seemed to be unaffected at this moment.

He just looked at Li Xiuer in the back seat of Zhao Yi with a pained and worried expression.

The acid rain in the sky is getting hotter and hotter.

Its corrosive power is becoming increasingly terrifying.

The group was wearing several layers of plastic raincoats, most of which had been corroded away, leaving only one or two layers of protection.

As for those chemical ice packs... they're about to melt too...

"quick!!"

"You can go through that underpass up ahead!!"

A purplish-black liquid seeped from Meng Fei's mouth and nose, and he bit his tongue hard with his teeth, using the intense pain to stimulate his consciousness.

Swish!

The four entered the underground passage.

A large crowd had gathered there, staring in horror at the outside world and discussing the acid rain.

Some of the cars that managed to get here by chance have been corroded beyond recognition by acid rain, and many people are in no better shape.

Men and women, young and old, lay on the side groaning.

The areas of skin that were exposed to rain suffered severe burns.

As soon as Zhao Yi and his group entered the underground passage, they quickly jumped out of the car and took off their raincoats, which were soaked with acid rain.

A wave of heat hit me as I entered the underground passage!

That's the temperature of acid rain and toxic gases.

Zhao Yi held his breath, grabbed the swaying Meng Fei, and weaved through the crowd, fleeing towards the distance of the underground passage. Meanwhile, some people cried out to Zhao Yi in despair:

"There's no escaping it!"

"It's a dead end... This passage was sealed off with cement last year due to construction!"

Zhao Yi ignored them.

Nan Jia carried the girl and followed Zhao Yi all the way, no longer thinking about rescuing these people.

He could feel the girl on his back breathing gradually weakening.

Nan Jia was extremely anxious, and her mind was completely blank.

The idea of ​​saving all living beings... had been completely forgotten by this point.

He only wanted to save Xiu!

The four of them quickly reached the end of the underground passage.

That end was indeed completely sealed off.

Moreover, we don't know what's on the other side, or how thick this cement wall is.

"Don't panic..."

Meng Fei was panting when he suddenly vomited.

After vomiting, his complexion improved significantly.

The illusion before my eyes also faded.

He slowly took out the clock he had brought from the safe house in J City from his chest.

"In five minutes, a tanker truck will explode above us, which will help us blast open the side of the passage!"

"At that time, we will be able to directly enter the small depression opposite the subway track next door... Six seconds after the explosion, a subway train that is about to brake will appear."

"The door to its third window is damaged. If we time it right, we can get directly into the subway train..."

Listening to Meng Fei's narration, the viewers in Zhao Yi's live broadcast room were dumbfounded.

"Holy crap... is this Meng bandit's timing and special events calculated with such precision?"

"I was wondering why he always carried a clock with him..."

"Holy crap! That's incredible! No wonder he survived the last Doomsday City trial!"

"I feel lucky that my brother Zhao brought Meng Fei with him this time, otherwise entering the City of Doomsday would have been extremely dangerous!"

"I've watched the live streams of hundreds of trial players. The tasks required in the post-apocalyptic city vary depending on the difficulty level. For example, players on Hell difficulty only need to find a safe house in J City to complete the challenge..."

"So far, I've only seen six people like Brother Zhao who are required to complete the three city missions in JKL and survive. Five of them have already died... and one of them didn't have a mission that overlapped with Brother Zhao's."
