Chapter 760: Chapter 760

"It’s impossible to understand what’s happening here with common sense." Qian Deli said through the communicator, "Whatever we see next, we must perceive it with a view of breaking our perception."

Lu Xingchen, with a stern expression, followed closely behind Lin Xian and KIKI. He vigilantly glanced at the surrounding darkness and felt the Infinity on his wrist; for some reason, after wearing this thing, he inexplicably heard many strange sounds.

It was as if thick blood was flowing, as if rotten esophagus was breathing. Everything made him feel uneasy.

Lu Xingchen was about to tell Lin Xian about the anomalies he felt, but at that moment, Ah Bai suddenly stopped, causing everyone to stop.

"What’s wrong, Ah Bai?" Lin Xian asked.

Ah Bai stood still, looking left and right frantically, then nervously said,

"Be careful, there’s a monster!"

As they spoke, everyone began to tighten their formation and looked towards the surrounding alleys.

No matter how they looked, all around was just an empty, dark street, with nothing there.

There wasn’t even a sound of the wind; everything seemed as if time had stopped.

Lin Xian stood motionless, bewildered as to why he had such thoughts, then looked down at the timing system beneath the Black Shadow Armor’s holographic panel.

Unsure if his eyes had deceived him, Lin Xian felt that the 59 seconds after 34 somehow lasted a long time.

He stared at the unmoving 59 number, pupils slightly constricting, and a remarkably horrific and bizarre feeling suddenly engulfed him.

In an instant, Lin Xian drew in a sharp breath; in his ear, the communicator continued to sound the voices of others, yet these sounds seemed to stretch out at that second.

Suddenly, the numeral finally changed, moving to 10:35.

Lin Xian exhaled deeply, but at that moment, he and everyone else instantly felt their hair stand on end, a strong surge of fear washed over them.

Because, at that time, the previously empty and dark street they stood on

was suddenly full of people!

Lin Xian, KIKI, Brother Huo, Chen Sixuan, Ning Jing, Xiao Qing, Ah Bai, Monica, Qian Deli—everyone’s pupils instantly shrank as countless figures eerily appeared around them.

In front, beside, behind, in the middle, all around—people were everywhere.

It was as if everyone who had died in White City within the Star Abyss appeared on the street. These people looked emaciated, as if all their blood had been drained, eyes like black holes, with wide mouths of extreme rips, standing alongside them with horrifically horrifying faces!

And a woman with a decayed face stood directly in front of Lin Xian. Through the visor of the Black Shadow Power Armor, he could even see the dried flesh and tissue in the woman’s empty eyes.

The squad was stunned by this scene, holding their breath simultaneously. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

For a moment, the originally empty street was suddenly crowded with ’people,’ whose clothes were almost entirely discolored, just standing silently, not moving.

They did not attack Lin Xian and the others, nor made any sound.

At that time, Lin Xian looked down and noticed that the ground had somehow developed many black, blood vessel-like networks connecting each corpse. Simultaneously, many tumor-like brown-red tissues appeared in the alleys around them, instantly reminding him of what he had seen in Underground City No. 9, realizing something was wrong.

"Ah Bai." Lin Xian asked Ah Bai, "Have we been marked?"

"No!" Ah Bai immediately responded, with a trembling voice filled with fear.

KIKI said softly, "Now what, these things don’t seem to be attacking us?"

"Should we burn them?" Brother Huo asked.

At that moment, Lin Xian remembered something, "Grace!"

"Plan a new path; we need to bypass this street."

Clearly, the current situation was triggered after Lin Xian and the others arrived, undoubtedly related to them being alive. At that point, Lin Xian’s first concern was the Dark Mark.

[150 meters ahead, turn right.]

Upon Lin Xian’s command, everyone swiftly began to advance out of the bizarre ’crowd’ using the route information synced to their Power Armor’s holographic panel from Grace.

And at that moment, as they left, those standing ’people’ all uniformly began to rotate, turning to face the direction they left.

"Something abnormal must be controlling these bodies; this might be a high-level abnormal’s territory!"

Lin Xian rushed onto a building, then, along with a group, sprinted across the rooftop, simultaneously observing the surrounding street conditions while expressing his judgment.

"I was terribly scared; these things appearing suddenly was like the night falling." Qian Deli said with lingering fear.

Ning Jing, hearing this, immediately responded, "Dark Tide, but it’s always nighttime here?"

"Could Dark Tide and the night not be the same?" KIKI, flying in the air, said nervously.

"It’s possible!" Monica offered a guess, "I guess, maybe, combining the current expansion range of Star Abyss No. 5 and tide times, could we calculate some correlation?"

Lin Xian shook his head, "We don’t know the situation outside now, but this is a kind of explanation."

The propulsion device of the Black Hawk Battle Armor repeatedly exerted force, carrying Lin Xian swiftly up a tall building. He looked down at the streets below, the dense black bodies all raising their heads, ’watching’ their movement with eye holes like black holes.

Lin Xian felt a chill creeping over him, at this point, no way to retreat, only able to accelerate away.

At that time, Lu Xingchen, hovering in the air, halted in front, pointing towards another street direction and said to Lin Xian,

"Brother Lin, I noticed something seems to be watching us, I’m not sure if it’s my illusion."

Lin Xian and everyone immediately stopped on a rooftop, looking towards the direction Lu Xingchen pointed out.

They discovered that it was a road tunnel, and such tunnels were not uncommon in a mountainous city like White City.

But hearing Brother Huo’s words, Lin Xian also immediately became vigilant.

Unexpectedly, Ah Bai shook his head, "I... I sense danger, but no dark aura."

Everyone looked at the pitch-black, empty tunnel, appearing like a semi-circular abyss.

Lin Xian’s expression darkened, immediately took up a flashlight and enhanced its power to shine over, but it was still only darkness.

He moved the flashlight away, saying, "It’s too strange here, we should..."

"Lin Xian!" This time, KIKI suddenly called out interrupting Lin Xian.

She then shone her flashlight over.

In a flash, a massive white humanoid creature appeared in the tunnel, its body almost filling it completely, with a terrifying face twisted like the night.

As if emitting an eerie laugh, the humanoid quickly retracted into the tunnel.

This sight instantly made everyone shiver!
