The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Everlasting night.

Shrouded in the endless night.

Whether it's a suburb, a city or a wasteland.

Everything as far as the eye can see is obscured by mist.

But this moment...

Chen Jing found that the fog with visibility no more than 200 meters had cleared.

This Evernight City, shrouded in mist like a forest and densely populated with buildings, had never made him see it so clearly...

The densely packed pigeon towers of reinforced concrete and some weird wooden buildings complement each other in the city. Only registered buses are running fast on the wide and empty streets.

The banks of the "Moonlight River" that runs through Yong Night Market are covered with giant plants that are as dense as reeds. Whenever the shrill evening wind blows, their huge and slender bodies will collide with each other and make rustling sounds.

In Chen Jing's slightly short memory.

The city called Eternal Night has never been so bright.

It was as if that strange celestial body in the sky had turned into a sun in a sense.

The bright moonlight became more and more dazzling, and the cold moonlight was like a white invisible flame, swallowing up the entire city in an instant, causing it to begin to burn silently...

Chen Jing couldn't help but raise his head and look at the moon that remained unchanged for thousands of years.

"So this is the month of worship..." Chen Jing was horrified.

At this moment, the indescribable celestial body has closed its terrifying one eye, and the mouth that almost spans the entire equator of the moon has also changed its shape. The upward corners of the mouth gradually lowered, revealing an extremely human expression, angry and irritable. .

"Look, the redeemers have come ashore."

Hearing Wei Nan's words, Chen Jing quickly looked away and looked far away in the direction of Wei Nan's finger.

He didn't understand until now.

What kind of creature made those terrifying roars before?

Those were dozens of behemoths that were thirty or forty stories high!

Their bodies are like enlarged "stick figures", with an extremely simple structure and particularly distinct limbs.

It was actually made up of the heads of countless species of creatures connected in series with rusty iron chains...

Under the cold and bright moonlight, those giant creatures called "Atones" gradually walked out of the "Moonlight River" as wide as the sea.

It's like an evil spirit escaping from hell back to the Yang world.

As those heads let out deafening roars of terror, they began to wander around the empty streets of Yongye City...

"Hey, why are you dazed?"

Wei Nan suddenly patted Chen Jing's shoulder from behind, and the smile on his face was as bright as the night.

Without waiting for Chen Jing's response, she took the initiative to hook her arms around Chen Jing's neck and laughed at the moon with its one eye tightly closed in the sky.

"Ah Jing! Happy Moon Festival!"

Chapter 25 The hint comes again

To be honest, Chen Jing didn't know what was so happy about the moon festival.

Because as far as he knows...

For the Eternal Night Market in this other world, the Moon Festival seems to be an inevitable period of disaster outbreak with cyclical characteristics.

Whenever the moon festival comes, the "moonlight" emitted by the strange celestial body will deteriorate.

This will not only cause some Old Descendants to fall out of control, but also lead some terrifying entities in the wasteland to converge on the city...

"Every time those 'Atones' come out of the river, I feel like thieves are fucking scary..."

Wei Nan put his arms around Chen Jing's shoulders and looked at the behemoths that began to patrol the city from a distance, sighing loudly.

"In recent years, I have often heard people say that the [Round Table Council] is on its last legs. They will no longer be able to suppress those sects... I don't think so. If these atoneers go crazy, I guess the monastery's home base will be destroyed. draw."

"Are they from the [Round Table Council]?" Chen Jing stared at those monsters as tall as buildings. Even from such a distance, he could feel the extremely terrifying sense of oppression.

"Yes, those torturers sentenced the criminals to death by decapitation, and then kept those heads alive, and then tied them up with chains to protect Yongye City..."

Wei Nan suddenly shuddered when he said this, as if he thought of something he was afraid of, and said cautiously.

"If I hadn't been proven insane when I committed the murder, I would probably have my head stuck on it now..."

"Are these creatures powerful?" Chen Jing asked curiously.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Of course they are powerful, but I don't know how powerful they are..."

Wei Nan turned his face and glanced at Chen Jing. The hair on his forehead swayed like an antenna, and there was a trace of fear in his words.

"Anyway, those old descendants who dared to go crazy on the streets were killed by them, and those polluted ones who wanted to break into the city from the wasteland were also killed by them..."

"Are they more powerful or is my grandpa more powerful?" Chen Jing became even more curious and couldn't help but compare these behemoths with the old man.

"It should be the old madman who is very powerful." Wei Nan said firmly, without any doubt in his tone.

Chen Jing was startled and asked why.

Wei Nan's answer was quite convincing.

"Think about it for yourself, if the old lunatic was not as powerful as those 'Atones', he would have been beheaded by the [Roundtable Council] long ago for the crazy things he has done in recent years..."

"It makes sense." Chen Jing nodded thoughtfully, feeling that Wei Nan's answer was very reliable.

At this moment, the "Atoner" closest to Chen Jing and the others suddenly stopped.

It seemed to be slowly turning towards the southeast slowly, and the thousands of heads that made up the torso suddenly opened their mouths...

"Look! Something exciting is coming!" Wei Nan said excitedly, and couldn't help but grab Chen Jing's hand and shake it hard.

this moment.

A dazzling red light lit up in every head and mouth of the Atoner.

Accompanied by increasingly shrill roars, streaks of scarlet light were spitted out by the heads one after another, like meteors trailing the tail of a comet, towards the target location.

The picture is almost like a laser weapon in a science fiction movie.

and so……

Did I underestimate the old man's strength...

Can he really defeat these monsters?

"Aren't these all self-propelled fortress laser weapons?!"

Chen Jing stared at this apocalyptic scene with his mouth agape, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.

"Oh, another old descendant is being targeted..."

Wei Nan was no stranger to the red light spitting out from those heads. Instead, he stretched his neck and looked over there excitedly, as if watching the fun.

"This battle is quite big... Could it be that the polluted species from the wasteland have come in again... It would be really exciting if those bastards really came in..."

At this moment, Chen Jing was stunned. His slightly pale and sickly face was reflected by the red light that kept streaking across the sky.

"With their saturation bombing attack method...the parliament is not afraid of demolishing Yongye City?" Chen Jing asked with numbness.

"Don't worry, the 'Atoner' only kills targets and does not destroy buildings. Didn't you notice that those red lights fell silently on the city?"

"It seems..." Chen Jing listened carefully for a while, and indeed did not hear the sound made by those "red lasers" after they contacted the target.

"Let me rest for a few more days, and then I'll take you to visit the city when I have the chance. You have to see these big guys up close to be shocked!" Wei Nan said excitedly.

"Forget it, I think it's safer to stay at home..." Chen Jing declined politely, not wanting to have close contact with those big guys.

"You're just a coward! You're so scared of me when I'm here!"

"..."

After chatting with Wei Nan for a while, Chen Jing finally went back home after being too sleepy in the middle of the night, despite Wei Nan's reluctant insistence...

When sending the young master Chen Jing off, Wei Nan was still muttering softly about why he had to sleep for a long time before he was alive because he would sleep forever after death.

But seeing Chen Jing's sickly look, Wei Nan felt embarrassed to say anything more.

Forget it.

If he continues talking, he will probably have to sleep forever now.

"It's not like we won't meet again..."

Chen Jing was still coughing when he entered the elevator, but when he saw Wei Nan reluctantly waiting outside the elevator door, he still managed to console himself.

"I'll come up to you tomorrow and bring you something to eat."

"Ok!"

When the elevator door closed, Chen Jing walked to the side with the handrail, leaning his back against the elevator and couldn't help but yawn.

The white lights above his head kept flickering. Looking at his blurry reflection on the elevator door, Chen Jing suddenly felt like he was dreaming.

dozens of hours ago.

I am still living an ordinary life in the outer world.

Dozens of hours later...

Chen Jing looked at the light curtain in front of him that only he could see, and couldn't help but sigh that this additional question was really difficult to solve.

"This level of completion is too difficult to achieve..."

-

[Countdown to return: 210 hours, 35 minutes and 41 seconds]

[Additional question: Top ten neighbors]

[Tip: A single tree cannot support itself. In this dangerous world, please try to establish friendly relationships with your neighbors. ]

[Question status: unfinished]

[Completion: 70%]

-

"It's only 70% now... Whose belongs the remaining 30%... Yanque or Lawrence..."

"Why don't you do it..."

"But it seems that this additional question will not be refreshed until it is completed..."

When he walked out of the elevator, Chen Jing's slightly pale face had the words "I want to show off" written all over it.

If it weren't for the fact that doing this kind of additional questions always gave him the feeling of playing a game and completing side tasks, I'm afraid he would have stopped doing it long ago...

trouble.

What a hassle!

Why not go out and explore when you have some free time?

Even if it's just to open a map or something...

I haven’t visited this city properly yet.

I can only stay here for ten days. How can this time be enough?

-

[Do it, do it, do it well ％％￥]

-

Suddenly, Chen Jing's footsteps stopped.

Seeing the garbled text popping up on the light screen in front of him without warning, he was stunned for a while, and then felt a little creepy.

"Are you talking to me?" Chen Jing couldn't help but ask.

The text on the light screen did not change, it still stayed on the same line of text.

Chen Jing was not in a hurry to go home at this moment. After stepping out of the elevator, he stood under the light at the entrance of the corridor and waited patiently with his hands on the wall.
