Chapter 115: The Situation in the Black Mist Zone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“The survivors from Dragon Mountain have already arrived here, and we get along fairly well.

...

The leader over there is called Duan Mei, but the most important person is a foreign girl named Lolita.”

Huo Sheng briefly explained Lolita and her mother’s abilities, which successfully caught Lu Ming’s attention.

“Tell me in detail.”

Lu Ming was genuinely interested in using what happened in New York as a reference for what would happen next in Nanxiang.

Creating a simple and comfortable external environment was necessary for him to level up. If the external dangers were too great, it would have a significant impact on Lu Ming’s attribute farming.

Huo Sheng continued, “The situation there is very grim.”

The apocalypse in Nanxiang City had already begun for 109 days.

The apocalypse in New York started a month earlier than Nanxiang, exactly 30 days before.

Now, New York was on the 139th day of the apocalypse calendar.

“So far, the Black Mist Zone has already occupied half of the territory over there.”

This was quick.

Because currently, the black mist at the edge of Nanxiang was still shrinking slowly. It was hard to imagine that in just 30 days, the Black Mist would shrink to such an extent.

Moreover, there were no significant differences between the two places.

“The speed and coverage of the Black Mist’s shrinking in New York thirty days ago were not much different from ours.”

In other words, in the next month, the speed of the Black Mist’s shrinking would increase drastically! Within two months, it would completely cover Nanxiang City!

Lu Ming frowned.

“Two months…”

Huo Sheng corrected Liu Ming’s mistake with a wry smile, “That’s the best-case scenario.”

This time frame was already urgent.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ming said, “What about the next month? What will happen next?”

“In the next month, the Black Mist will split open several times, and monsters from the Black Mist Zone will invade Nanxiang City. Each wave will be stronger and larger than the previous one.”

This was the apocalypse trajectory of New York.

Except for the one-month head start, there were no significant differences between the two places.

“Then, there’s the situation with the Holy Tower and the Black Mist Zone.

We discussed this before. As the Black Mist Zone shrinks, we will inevitably be engulfed by the Black Mist. The plan there for dealing with this is no different from ours.”

In other words, there were two methods: One was to become a Level 5 Awakened and come into contact with the Holy Tower.

The other was to actively or passively integrate into the Black Mist Zone.

“According to the experience over there, both methods seem feasible, but there are also problems and troubles.”

Huo Sheng emphasized the word ‘seem’.

“Firstly, regarding coming into contact with the Holy Tower. When a Level 5 creature comes into contact with the Holy Tower, a white light will descend from the Holy Tower and take the creature away. A few days ago, a Level 5 Awakened appeared in New York. After he was taken away, there was no more news of him.

In other words, this kind of guidance is one-way.”

Once taken away, there was no returning. This was what they called a one-way trip.

As for where they went and what happened, it was all unknown – there was even the possibility that the Level 5 Awakened individual died during the contact, or he was directly vaporized by the purifying light.

This made Lu Ming shiver.

“This option sounds terrifying enough…”

Lu Ming definitely would not consider contacting the Holy Tower.

What if the light was not a guiding light but a purifying light?

Besides, even if it was the guiding light, where would it take Lu Ming? Would there be any danger when they arrived?

The unknown brought fear, which meant uncertainty and insecurity.

Huo Sheng continued, “So from the beginning to the end, they have only experimented once.”

Contacting the Holy Tower was feasible, but it was only a last resort. If there were other options, contacting something unknown like the Holy Tower would definitely be the lowest priority.

“Therefore, we must explore and come into contact with the Black Mist Zone.”

Huo Sheng concluded.

The Black Mist Holy Tower Incident (the apocalyptic event) first happened in New York, and second in Nanxiang.

After the Black Mist Holy Tower incident in New York, America had sent troops to explore the Black Mist several times, but their attempts had all failed—this gave the latecomers a preconceived impression.

There was great terror within the Black Mist.

That’s right, Nanxiang City also had such an impression.

However, the first explorers, in New York, did not have such a stereotyped impression.

Furthermore, the main gathering place in New York was located at the edge of the Black Mist, while Nanxiang was situated near the Holy Tower, the center of the blockade zone. This greatly hindered Nanxiang’s progress in exploring the Black Mist Zone.

New York was different in this regard.

After the outbreak of the Black Mist Holy Tower event, many people took the initiative to explore the Black Mist Zone. Although the unknown was indeed dangerous, when you were already facing greater danger, exploring the unknown became a feasible option.

It was the dangers brought about by the zombies.

That was probably the mentality of the people over there.

“They recklessly ventured into the Black Mist, and at the beginning, it was basically one disappearance after another. After a few organized attempts to explore the Black Mist Zone, their exploration plans were interrupted.

But unexpectedly, someone came back alive from the Black Mist Zone about two months ago and brought back a Basic Breathing Technique.”

As long as the base number was large enough, there would always be lucky people.

The person who brought back the Basic Breathing Technique was clearly this lucky person.

This also made the official organization in New York determined to explore the Black Mist Zone.

“But the situation inside is very grim.”

Firstly, it was the level of the creatures inside the Black Mist Zone.

Level 4 was the lowest.

For example, the Black Birds and the Six-Legged Wolf Bears that appeared now were at the lower level of the food chain over there. To put it bluntly, they were equivalent to jackals and vultures in the natural world. They had combat strength, but they were definitely not very strong.

Moreover, there were a vast amount of mystery factors in the Black Mist area, and this extraordinary substance brought about the mutation of the ecosystem.

The strong became even stronger, and the weak became even weaker.

In comparison, the Black Birds and the Six-Legged Wolf Bears were even inferior to the jackals and vultures in the natural world over here…

“There are too many powerful monsters over there. According to what they said, although New York has already established a simple outpost in the Black Mist Zone, they have suffered nearly ten catastrophes that can be described as devastating within one month. After all the efforts, they have gained little but instead lost more high-level Awakened individuals with high potential.

And they don’t have maps or anything like that. In the Black Mist Zone, they are compressed into a very small area and cannot move freely, so they can’t draw maps or explore the surrounding terrain.

But one thing is clear… the Black Mist Zones are interconnected, or there is probably only one Black Mist Zone. In other words, we can meet with New York in the Black Mist Zone, and even both sides can travel through the Black Mist Zone to each other’s territories.

It’s just that we can’t determine the directions.

That’s why Lolita’s mother wants our help.

She wants to combine the strength of both sides and see if we can establish a connection between the two sides..”
