2398 A lonely lamp (1)



The sky was dark, and the surroundings were silent.

Silence didn't mean safety. In the dark corners, there were fatal dangers.

Evil things liked to live in dark environments because everything would be exposed to humans if they were placed under the sun.

They only wanted humans to feel fear, but they didn't want humans to know their weaknesses and find a way to deal with them.

Monsters were like this, and in fact, humans were the same. Those evil guys never dared to stand in the light.

Tang Zhen had such a feeling because he had heard and seen too many tragedies in the human world during this period of time.

For this reason, he even issued a mission. As long as he killed such a scumbag, he would be able to obtain a generous reward.

Although the number of humans had plummeted, and every one of them needed to be cherished, some people did not deserve to live. Tang Zhen would send them on their way for free.

After the situation near the fortress had stabilized and he had enough power to protect himself, Tang Zhen began to go out frequently.

He needed to release the pressure in his heart through killing, and try to find the answer to some questions.

When the apocalypse arrived, the survivors all learned a common sense. If it was not necessary, they should never leave a place where people gathered, or they might never return.

Although the gathering place didn't mean absolute safety, it was still safer than the wilderness.

Tang Zhen didn't care about these taboos. He had always been alone, giving people an extremely mysterious feeling.

Even among the survivors near the fortress, Tang Zhen had become a legend. There were many stories and guesses about him.

A loud explosion was heard. Then, a ray of light suddenly appeared on the road in the distance. It then trembled and jumped continuously.

From the sound, one could tell that it was an off-road vehicle.

To dare to drive into the vast wilderness in such a dangerous environment where monsters ran amuck, one must either be crazy or have great skills.

Tang Zhen was clearly the latter.

The reason why he came out this time was that when he couldn't find an answer, the system suddenly issued a mission.

[ mystery! ]

[ if you want to figure out the cause and effect of this matter, if you want to know who you are, then go to a small town in the distance. The answer you want will be there! ]

Just based on the mission's name and the mission's introduction, Tang Zhen had no reason to refuse.

Hence, he followed the mission's requirements and left the fortress alone, following the abandoned Road North.

Along the way, he saw many abandoned cities and countless white bones.

Humans had indeed suffered a catastrophe, but other species were the same. All living things were in a State of Decay and destruction.

If this situation continued, the entire world would fall into silence, and there would be no trace of life left.

Of course, after destruction, there would be new life. However, no matter how advanced the new species were, they had nothing to do with modern humans.

The path that Tang Zhen was currently walking on had already become extremely damaged due to various reasons.

Fortunately, the car he was driving was of good quality. Although the road conditions were bad, it was still smooth.

Due to the sky being completely dark, one's vision was severely limited, causing Tang Zhen to be unable to see further.

"Owwuuu!"

A strange howl was heard and a huge monster appeared and pounced toward Zhen Tang's car.

"Bang!"

A flash of fire appeared through the car window. The bullet hit the monster that had just pounced on it and exploded it into pieces.

"The 745th Wuwu."

Tang Zhen softly said as he casually threw his weapon onto the front passenger seat.

Along the way, Tang Zhen encountered many monsters, but they were all killed by him with one shot.

Tang Zhen faintly felt a trace of fatigue in the face of this kind of hunting game. He really wanted to once again live the kind of peaceful life before the disaster.

However, looking at the current situation, this was probably an extravagant hope.

He opened the system map. The destination was more than ten kilometers away, and it would not take long to reach it.

Tang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief. He had finally not wasted his time after running around for such a long time.

Next, he wanted to see what the mystery was and why it caused the whole world to become like this.

After some time, Tang Zhen stopped the car, pushed open the door and got out.

The scene that appeared in front of him was a large area of dilapidated buildings, and the residents had long disappeared.

An abandoned city like this would often have a large number of monsters hiding in it. The survivors would basically take a detour and would never enter it easily.

However, the target of this mission was hidden in the ruins, in an unknown corner.

Tang Zhen had to go.

"Let me see what kind of God you are, Qianqian."

As Tang Zhen spoke, he checked his equipment and confirmed that there were no problems.

Under his leather windbreaker, he was wearing a special set of armor, which was the reward for completing the mission.

After understanding the attributes of the battle armor, Tang Zhen's heart was full of confidence. He felt that there was no weapon in this world that could kill him.

He had this feeling because the armor's defensive power was so strong that it even gave people a sense of surrealism.

Not only did the armor have insane attributes, but the other rewarded weapons were also the same. Even if they encountered the God slaying virus, they could kill it in one move.

He was like the main character of a game with an invincible cheat. The stronger he was, the stronger his weapon was. No matter how terrifying the monster was, he could kill it in one move.

Although he had such an abnormal combat power, the area of this world was too large, and it was impossible for him to destroy all the monsters by himself.

This was also one of the reasons why Tang Zhen was even more distressed. He had the ability to kill the God-killing virus, but he was unable to save the survivors from the disaster.

On the dark street, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, echoing between the dilapidated buildings.

A faintly discernible figure was staring intently at Tang Zhen from a window by the roadside.

This was a vengeful spirit and was extremely powerful. Ordinary cultivators would never dare to provoke it.

It treated the nearby area as its own territory, and anyone who entered it would be attacked by it.

Tang Zhen, who was walking on the street, had already been treated as prey by the vengeful spirit.

Just as it was about to attack, it saw Tang Zhen suddenly raise his hand. A stream of light shot out from his sleeve.

The vengeful spirit could not Dodge in time and was hit by the flowing light. It was instantly devoured by the White flames.

Even in its energy state, the vengeful spirit was still severely injured and was soon burned into nothingness.

Tang Zhen did not pay any attention to the vengeful spirit during the entire fight. Instead, he kept looking at the center of the ruins.

There was a small light there, which was very conspicuous in the dark.

An area where vengeful spirits existed was a forbidden zone for ordinary people. Anyone who could live there was destined to be no ordinary person.

Tang Zhen knew that the other party was not simple. Otherwise, the other party would not have become the target of the system's mission, causing him to travel thousands of miles to rush over.

Tang Zhen quietly stood on the spot and silently looked at the light in front. He seemed to be thinking about a problem.

"Who am I? Who are you? What kind of world is this?"

Tang Zhen muttered. Soon after, he gently shook his head.

He only knew one thing, and that was to follow the system's guidance. He would soon get the answer he wanted.

As they continued to move forward along the street, there were no more monsters that harassed Tang Zhen. This was because they had already turned into corpses that were scattered all over the street.
