Chapter 133: Black Mist Zone Intelligence Summary

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Perhaps because they were hungry, the returning members of the Black Mist Exploration Team devoured their food like hungry ghosts.

...

They were eating the Tier 4 exotic beast meat that Lu Ming had provided—this was something Lu Ming had contributed for free.

The fresh and tender bird meat made the returning explorers eat heartily.

There was an Awakened who even shedded tears of joy as he ate, as if he had not eaten a decent meal in a long, long time.

The onlookers in the canteen fell into silence, their expressions becoming increasingly grave.

Judging from the situation, it was evident that this group of people had experienced something harrowing within the Black Mist Zone.

When the meal was over, Huo Sheng rushed over from the official shelter.

In Lu Ming’s outdoor dining hall, Lu Ming, Zhang Chengcheng, Wang Xiong, Bai Tianyu, Duan Mei, and Huo Sheng gathered together, preparing to listen to the information Bai Tianyu had brought back from the Black Mist Zone.

“Let’s start with the bad news.”

“The bad news is that everything Lolita’s mother said was true…”

Indeed, it was pure bad news.

At that time, in the call with Huo Sheng, Lorita’s mother described the situation in the black fog as extremely dangerous and life-threatening. Huo Sheng listened and only half believed it.

He felt that Lolita’s mother was deliberately exaggerating the dangers in the Black Mist Zone so that the survivors from Nanxiang could meet up with the New York team as soon as they entered the Black Mist Zone.

But now, Bai Tianyu made it clear that Lolita’s mother really did not deliberately exaggerate the dangers in the Black Mist Zone.

“Let’s start with some known information.”

Bai Tianyu began to summarize the intelligence they already had about the Black Mist Zone.

“First is the level of the creatures.”

“The lowest level of creatures in the Black Mist Zone is Level 4.”

“As long as it’s something that can hurt people, I’ve never seen anything below Level 4.”

This information was already known, and Bai Tianyu mentioned it again as a form of verification.

“Next is the method of entry.”

“The way to enter the Black Mist Zone is to come into contact with the Black Mist, whether actively or passively. After you come into contact with the black fog, you will fall into a temporary dizzy state. Once the dizziness ends, you will find yourself in the Black Mist Zone.”

“There are two things to be aware of.”

“Firstly, the buildings and structures will not enter the Black Mist Zone with us. The way we enter is by staying in a building that is about to be engulfed by the Black Mist, waiting for it to devour us.”

“When we appeared in the Black Mist Zone, we realized that the buildings did not follow us into the zone.”

After Bai Tianyu finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Ming discreetly.

A trace of pain appeared on Lu Ming’s face.

He really could not keep his house…

“Vehicles, supplies, and so on will follow us into the Black Mist Zone. However, ordinary items will quickly decay at an extremely fast rate after entering the Black Mist Zone.”

“Just like those few vehicles we drove.”

The vehicles that Bai Tianyu drove away had been modified by Zhang Lixin. They were heavily armored and their defenses were strong.

However, after staying in the Black Mist Zone for only half a month, the vehicles had already decayed beyond recognition.

“As for food, regular food cannot last an hour in the Black Mist Zone. We tried using ice-based abilities to preserve it, but it didn’t work. Only the exotic beast meat can be preserved…”

“Secondly, once we enter the Black Mist Zone, our arrival locations are not together but scattered. However, the distances are not too far apart, generally within an hour’s walking distance.”

Lolita’s mother had also mentioned this.

Thus, one can make an analogy:

The process of entering the Black Mist Zone was like teleportation. Each person’s teleportation landing point was different, and it could only ensure that they could be teleported to the same area.

Therefore, during the initial stage of entering the Black Mist Zone, everyone needed to rely on their own strength and use their own methods to reunite with the main group.

“Three members of the Black Mist Exploration Team lost their lives during this process.”

Huo Sheng frowned and asked, “Doesn’t holding hands help?”

Bai Tianyu shook his head, “It doesn’t help.”

“But sitting in the same vehicle, people will enter the Black Mist Zone together with the vehicle. This method can ensure that a few people will land at the same place.”

After a brief pause, Huo Sheng nodded and said, “Go on.”

“Then there’s the map of the surroundings and the ecological environment.”

Speaking of this, Bai Tianyu’s face darkened, “The map hasn’t been drawn. During the time we entered the Black Mist Zone, our team’s movements were severely restricted.”

“We can only confirm that there are many monsters around and the environment is extremely harsh. The members of the team were either fighting or on their way to battle.”

With poor meals and restless sleep, who would have the energy to draw a map?

“But the good news is that we’ve found a place we can use as a foothold.

An ancient city ruin.”

Although it was called an ancient city, it was actually only the size of a modern village.

The city wall had long collapsed, so there was no real defense.

The advantage was that there were more broken walls and ruins, providing ample cover to defend against the dangers in the Black Mist Zone, which was not bad.

“During the fifteen days of exploration, we didn’t encounter any intelligent creatures that we could communicate with. Everything we encountered was either exotic beasts or monsters. Therefore, we don’t know if there are factions or safe zones established by intelligent beings within the Black Mist Zone.”

These words made Huo Sheng frown and he said, “This is troublesome.”

Having an indigenous faction that could communicate would be very important.

Unfortunately, there was none in the Black Mist Zone…

At least Bai Tianyu did not find any.

“Lastly, let’s talk about the way to leave.”

“The way to leave the Black Mist Zone is actually very simple. Zombie Crystal, also known as Origin Stone, is all that is needed. Just obtain three Origin Stones of the same level as yourself within the Black Mist Zone, and you can return to where you came from.”

However, Nanxiang City had yet to be completely covered by the Black Mist.

This meant that Bai Tianyu and the others still had a place to return to.

But once Nanxiang City was completely covered by the Black Mist Zone, it was uncertain if this method of leaving the Black Mist Zone could still be used, or whether everyone could return to Nanxiang City.

“No, you can’t.”

Huo Sheng concluded.

Then, he turned to look at Lu Ming and said, “Earlier today, Lolita’s mother sent a message.”

“New York has been completely swallowed up by the Black Mist.”

“They tried to return to New York using the method Bai Tianyu just mentioned, but it didn’t work.”

“Therefore, when Nanxiang City is completely covered by the Black Mist Zone, those who enter the Black Mist Zone will have no way out and can only struggle to survive within the Black Mist Zone.”

“But there is some relatively good news.”

Bai Tianyu continued, “Firstly, the concentration of mystery factors in the Black Mist Zone is very high, several times higher than in Nanxiang. This means that after entering the Black Mist Zone, the efficiency of the breathing technique is greatly improved, and the speed of advancement becomes faster.” “Secondly, there are also zombies and monsters in the Black Mist Zone. They can produce zombie crystals, which can further enhance the speed of advancement of the Awakened ones.”

For example, the returning members of the Black Mist Exploration Team.

After half a month of training in the Black Mist Zone, Bai Tianyu had successfully advanced to a Level 6 Awakened!

Duan Mei had advanced to Level 5.

The other seven members had also taken solid steps on the path of advancement.

“The speed of getting stronger over there is extremely fast.”

After Bai Tianyu finished speaking, he hesitated and said, “Other than that, there are also many opportunities over there, such as weapons and equipment, as well as the Basic Breathing Technique.. But I have this feeling that the opportunities over there are somewhat strange…”
