Chapter 19 19. The Second Solar Eclipse
"Boom!!!"
Large pieces of rubble fell, completely burying the subway platform. Strong tree vines spread like giant snakes toward the circular tunnel, squeezing the tunnel open and bursting.
Su Hong was the fastest, but the giant snake tree vine soon caught up with him.
The armored man had already been submerged by the vines, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead, and all the survivors died in this horrific disaster.
Wang Chengzhi hung on the Death Apostle's arm, so frightened that tears and snot ran out of his eyes, "Brother Su Hong, what should I do?"
"Hurry... catch up soon!"
"Boom!" The concrete shattered, and debris and dust fell. Su Hong and the other three looked very miserable.
The track was like a soft noodle pushed up by the vines, sparks aroused, and whipped over.
"Bang!"
Su Hong's eyes widened. He felt a pain in his back. The Death Apostle's arm was severed by the rail. Xu Yanrui and the broken arm fell to the ground. It was too late to even call for help, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the giant snake tree vine.
"Sister Yanrui..." Wang Chengzhi couldn't help crying.
Su Hong kept walking, panting heavily, grabbed the yellow mushroom in the bag and swallowed it directly.
Suddenly, he felt a surge of strength from his limbs, which restored his tired body.
"Chengzhi, calm down!" He said solemnly.
"Remember what I said before?"
"Your potential is amazing, you just need to stay angry..."
"Angry?" Wang Chengzhi looked a little confused.
The giant snake tree vine struck over, making a loud thud, and the ground sank. Su Hong rolled over quickly to avoid this terrifying blow.
But when he turned around, he found that Wang Chengzhi, who was being carried by the Dead Apostle, was missing.
He hurriedly glanced back and saw Wang Chengzhi's body, squeezed into a ball like a tattered doll, with blood seeping into the soil.
The giant snake tree vine crushed Wang Chengzhi's body and continued to chase Su Hong.
His heart sank, and he was ready to be crushed by the vines.
"Despicable creature!"
A roar suddenly penetrated the tree vines and hit Su Hong. With a loud buzzing sound, the huge tree vines and concrete exploded. The irresistible impact hit him. His whole body hit the tunnel wall, and the large pieces of concrete shattered his bones. Smashed to pieces.
Su Hong lay weakly next to the wall, unable to even move his fingers. His eardrums were pierced by the sharp sound, blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, and his consciousness became increasingly blurred.
In a daze, he seemed to see a black shadow wrapping Wang Chengzhi's body, and the shadow cloak unfolded and swallowed up the giant snake tree vine.
"You witnessed a battle between monsters, disaster potential +150."
The shadow spread over and drowned Su Hong. His eyes darkened and he fell into darkness.
"Simulation over."
"Survival time: 1 day and 11 hours."
"Evaluation: You have stepped out of the original place and seen a more magnificent world."
"You can spend Catastrophic Potential to bring rewards out of the simulation:
Cursed Hand of the Dead Apostle (Excellent Talent): 300 disaster potential.
Level 7 experience: 100 disaster potential.
Admirer's attachment (excellent talent): 50 disaster potential.
Hand of the Wight (disaster item): 50 disaster potential.
Brass Key (Item): 1 Disaster Potential. "
[Disaster potential: 404/5]
At night, in the stairwell on the seventh floor, Su Hong exited the simulation game and returned home first.
In the room, he took off his training armor, and the clothes underneath were soaked.
Looking at the settlement interface, Su Hong weighed the pros and cons.
The Cursed Hand of the Dead Apostle and level 7 experience are the biggest gains from this simulation and are the priority options. The remaining 4 disaster potentials are not much, so the only choice is the brass key.
[Disaster potential: 3/5]
After making the choice, the potential for disaster continued to drop and stayed at 3.
The brass key fell into his hand, and in just a moment, Su Hong's eyes suddenly opened, and blood spread to the whites of his eyes. He knelt down half-kneeling, and the cells in his body split and reorganized, causing severe pain.
Flesh sprouts grew on the arms of the two skinny corpses, and the purple muscles swelled and bulged, emitting a faint light, and a faint blood mist spread from his body.
After a few seconds, the change ended. Su Hong stood up, and his personal panel changed dramatically.
【Su Hong】
[Disaster level: present world]
[Disaster Level: Level 7]
[Disaster potential: 3/5]
[Disaster talents (3/4): Admirer's attachment (ordinary), Dead Apostle's Cursed Hand (excellent), Mysterious Vision (ordinary +)]
[Disaster Skill: None]
[Disaster Equipment: Broken Jailer Training Armor (Normal+). The training heavy armor equipped by Prison City Jailers is just a bit too thick and seems to be more used to prevent being beaten. 】
Powerful power surrounded his body, and Su Hong could feel the huge power hidden under his muscles.
Recalling the experiences in the simulation game, contact with survivors in the subway station, Lu Haifeng's sudden attack, the powerful armored man, the terrifying giant vine disaster, the awakening of the mysterious black shadow...
"The guy in armor called Lu Haifeng a minion of disagreement..."
Su Hong thought thoughtfully. It was impossible no matter how hard he thought that such a powerful survivor would appear on the second day of the apocalypse.
Unless that mysterious man had been exposed to the disaster in advance and knew the inside story of the apocalypse.
Wait for the next simulation to contact him again to stop the giant vine disaster in advance, and maybe you will get unexpected gains.
…
The next afternoon.
September 21st is the time for the second total solar eclipse of this year.
In the garden community square, the shadows of the trees are dancing, the breeze is blowing, the elderly gather together to chat and gossip, and the children play and play. Compared with the doomsday scene in the simulation game, the place is peaceful and peaceful.
"Look, the sun seems dark inside." Wang Chengzhi wore strange glasses and looked at the sun in the sky.
Today is Sunday, school is on holiday, and Wang Chengzhi happens to be at home. Su Hong made an appointment with him to come down to watch the total solar eclipse.
He and Wang Chengzhi had a good relationship in private, and Wang Chengzhi happened to be fine, so he agreed.
Su Hong wore solar eclipse glasses and gazed at the dazzling sun. His eyeballs were bloodshot, and he could vaguely see the golden sunlight mixed with a touch of blood.
This is the effect of a mysterious vision.
After the second total solar eclipse, through these eyes, he could actually see the aura of disaster permeating the air in reality.
Su Hong lowered his head and could vaguely see a faint aura of disaster surrounding himself and Wang Chengzhi, spreading like blood mist.
It's no wonder that he felt something was wrong with Wang Chengzhi before. It turned out that Wang Chengzhi had already been shrouded in the aura of disaster.
But whether they were old people or children, the atmosphere in the square was extremely pure and completely different from them.
It’s not surprising that he has the aura of disaster on his body. Wang Chengzhi also has it on him, which refreshes his understanding—disaster already existed before the apocalypse happened, but no one noticed it...
No, that mysterious armored man might have been exposed to disaster before the end of the world.
Su Hong had a hunch in his heart that the mysterious armored man might be the breakthrough for him to find the source of the disaster and pollution.
After watching the total solar eclipse, he walked around the community for a while and took a look at Xu Yanrui and Lu Haifeng.
Xu Yanrui's corpse hand was obtained after the end of the world, so her aura is extremely pure, similar to that of ordinary people.
Lu Haifeng, on the other hand, was also beyond his expectation. He did not find any aura of disaster in the man.
Su Hong's heart moved slightly. In other words, Lu Haifeng's exposure to the power of disaster only happened after today.
