Chapter 2396 A Lone Lamp
The sky was dark and the fields were silent.
Quietness does not mean safety. In the dark corners, there are actually fatal crises hidden.
Evil things like to exist in dark environments, because if they are placed in the sun, everything will be exposed to human eyes.
They only want humans to feel fear, but they don’t want humans to know their shortcomings and find ways to deal with themselves.
Monsters are like this, and actually humans are like this too. Those evil guys never dare to stand upright in the sun.
Tang Zhen had such a feeling because he had heard and witnessed too many human tragedies during this period.
For this reason, he also issued a mission. As long as you kill such scum, you can get generous rewards.
Although the number of humans has plummeted and everyone needs to be cherished, there are some guys who don't deserve to live, so Tang Zhen sends them on their way for free.
After the situation near the fortress stabilized and he had enough power to protect himself, Tang Zhen began to go out frequently.
He needs to release the pressure in his heart through killing, and try to find answers to certain questions.
When the doomsday comes, the survivors all know a common sense. If it is not necessary, they must not leave the gathering place rashly, otherwise they may never come back.
Although crowd gathering areas do not mean absolute safety, they are still safer than wilderness areas.
Tang Zhen ignored these taboos and always kept to himself, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
Even among the survivors near the fortress, Tang Zhen has become a legend, with many stories and speculations circulating about him.
There was a roar, and then a ray of light suddenly appeared on the road in the distance, and then kept shaking and jumping.
You can tell by the sound that this is an off-road vehicle.
If you dare to drive into the wilderness in such a dangerous environment where monsters are rampant, you are either a madman or someone with great abilities.
Tang Zhen is obviously the latter.
The reason why he came out this time was that when he was struggling to think of an answer, the system suddenly issued a task.
【Answer! 】
【If you want to figure out the cause and effect of things, and want to know who you are, then go to a small town in the distance, where you will find the answers you want! 】
Just based on the name of the task and the introduction about the task, Tang Zhen had no reason to refuse.
So in accordance with the requirements of the mission, he left the fortress alone and headed north along the abandoned road.
Along the way, he saw abandoned cities and countless bones and corpses.
Humanity has indeed suffered a disaster, but the same is true for other species. Everything is in a withered and dilapidated appearance.
If this situation continues, the entire world will fall into silence, and there will no longer be a trace of life left.
Of course, after destruction comes rebirth, but no matter how advanced the new species is, it has nothing to do with modern humans.
The road Tang Zhen was traveling on at this time had already become dilapidated due to various reasons.
Fortunately, the car he drove was of good quality. Although the road conditions were bad, he still drove smoothly.
Because the sky was always dark, his field of vision was severely restricted, preventing Tang Zhen from seeing farther away.
"Ouch!"
A strange howl came, and then a huge monster appeared and rushed towards Tang Zhen's car.
“Bang!”
A flash of fire flashed in the car window, and the bullet hit the monster that had just jumped on it, blasting it into pieces.
"Seven hundred and forty-five..."
Tang Zhen said softly, throwing the weapon onto the co-pilot's chair.
Along the way, Tang Zhen encountered many monsters, but he killed them all with one shot.
For this kind of hunting game, Tang Zhen felt faintly tired and wanted to live the peaceful life before the disaster again. Just looking at the current situation, this is probably a luxury hope.
Clicking on the system map, the destination is still more than ten kilometers away, and it won't take long to arrive.
Tang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. After running around for so long, he finally didn't waste his time in vain.
Next, he will see what the answer is and why the whole world has become like this.
After some time, Tang Zhen stopped the car, opened the door and walked out.
The scenery that appeared in front of him was a large dilapidated building, and the residents had long since disappeared.
There are often a large number of monsters lurking in abandoned cities like this. The survivors will basically take detours and will never enter easily.
But the goal of this mission is hidden in these ruins, in an unknown corner.
Tang Zhen must go.
"Let me see, who are you..."
As Tang Zhen spoke, he checked his equipment to make sure there was nothing wrong with it.
Under his leather trench coat, he was wearing a special suit of armor, which was a reward for completing the mission.
After understanding the attributes of the armor, Tang Zhen felt confident that there was no weapon in the world that could kill him.
He feels like this because the armor's defense is so ridiculously strong that it even feels unreal.
Not only the battle armor has abnormal attributes, but also other reward weapons. Even if you encounter the God-killing virus, you can kill it with one move.
He is like the protagonist of a game with an invincible plug-in. He is strong as a person and has strong weapons. No matter how terrifying the monster is, he can kill it with one move.
Although he has such abnormal fighting power, the area of this world is too large, and it is impossible for him to destroy all the monsters by himself.
This is one of the reasons why Tang Zhen is even more distressed. He has the ability to hunt the God-killing virus, but he is unable to rescue the survivors from the disaster.
On the dark streets, only the sound of walking footsteps echoed among the dilapidated buildings.
At the window on the roadside, a looming figure was staring at Tang Zhen.
This is a ghost and resentful spirit. It is extremely powerful and ordinary monks would never dare to provoke it.
It regards the nearby area as its own territory, and anyone who enters it will be attacked wildly.
Tang Zhen, walking on the street, has been regarded as prey by the resentful spirit.
Just when it was about to attack, it saw Tang Zhen suddenly raise his hand, and a stream of light shot out from his cuff.
The resentful spirit was unable to dodge, and was hit by the stream of light on its body, and was instantly swallowed up by white flames.
Even in its energy state, the resentful spirit still suffered heavy losses and was quickly burned into nothingness.
During the entire fight, Tang Zhen ignored the resentful spirit and kept looking at the center of the ruins.
There is a little light there, which is very conspicuous in the dark night.
The area where the resentful spirits exist is a restricted area for ordinary people. Those who can live here are destined to not be ordinary people.
Tang Zhen knew that the other party was not simple, otherwise he would not have become the target of the system mission and made himself come all the way.
Standing quietly, looking at the lights in front of him silently, Tang Zhen seemed to be thinking about the problem.
"Who am I? Who are you? What kind of world is this?"
Tang Zhen murmured, then shook his head gently.
He only knows one thing, and that is to follow the system's guidance and get the answer he wants soon.
Continuing forward along the street, there were no more monsters to harass Tang Zhen, because they had all turned into corpses, and they were piled up all over the street.
