Bai Ge immediately recognized that the car was one of the first six to depart from the Pluto supply depot.

Obviously, they were attacked by monsters, and as for the people in the car, Bai Ge swept around and found no trace.

There were no bodies, no blood, as if they had vanished into thin air.

"Frostfall, do you feel anything?"

Bai Ge looked to the side.

When Zhu Shuangluo saw the wreckage of the vehicle, he had already subconsciously begun to collect pheromones in the air, trying to restore the previous scene.

However, she found that the pheromones of the people in the car had completely disappeared.

Generally speaking, if you are attacked by a wild beast, then a certain amount of pheromones will inevitably be left on the scene, and eventually the pheromones of the attacked and the beast will be intertwined.

However, Bamboo Frostfall saw that only the pheromones of the vehicle itself flowed in the air, and the pheromones of the contestants who were attacked were not left at all, if it wasn't for the fact that she had silently remembered the smell of those people before, I am afraid that Bamboo Frostfall would only think that the vehicle was originally abandoned in the wasteland, and not just changed.

"No, no human breath."

She shook her head and was about to stop to check the situation, but Bai Ge waved her hand.

"Don't stop, keep going, I've basically confirmed the situation."

Bai Ge swept through the specific condition of the twisted and broken vehicle with [Assassin Vision], and quickly restored the process of its attack.

The car, which was driving normally, suddenly began to turn, presumably because the driver saw the appearance of the monster, and then, the vehicle tried to escape from the other party, but was caught up only a few seconds later, and the whole car was torn apart by a huge impact, as for the people in it......

"[The Veil]?"

Judging from the current situation, the car was obviously attacked by the [Shadow Curtain], and the people in the car were devoured by the monster in the shadows and disappeared without a trace.

Bai Ge had never heard the name of this monster before, according to the research of the two professors who specialized in biology, this was also a monster that had only recently appeared in the wasteland, and all information about it was unknown and needed to be treated with caution.

Moreover, it has already attacked humans, and the danger level has increased considerably.

What's more, this car was less than ten minutes ahead of Bai Ge and them, and if it was attacked, then it meant that the [Shadow Curtain] was around here at the moment.

"Let's turn the lights on......"

Bai Ge was about to turn on the lights in the car? Use an artificial light source to drive away the [Dark Curtain]? Suddenly, I realized another thing.

He looked ahead, above the starlit wasteland? I can't see any other light.

Afraid of artificial light sources? As long as you inquire carefully, you can know, so? All vehicles leave the depot with their lights on, and additional light sources turned on.

According to common sense? In front of them in the white song? There should be at least eight vehicles, and in addition to the one that was destroyed, there should also be seven.

At this time difference, Bai Ge should have seen at least one or two cars' taillights.

Unless......

The hairs on the back are blowing up? Bai Ge didn't wait for the premonition of danger in his heart to rise? He directly used the [Trojan Horse] to wrap the whole car in the loophole of the road.

At this moment, if someone looks at this place from the outside, they can only find that the wasteland is empty, if you don't look closely? There was no trace of Flyer 1 at all.

However, can Bai Ge see it? Behind the uniquely shaped car, the glow from the supply depot also faded.

No? It's not that the supply depot has disappeared, but a large area of shadow? Shrouded the world.

Even the hypocritical starlight is devoured and absorbed? It was as if darkness in its purest form had spread.

Bai Ge saw both sides of the Flyer One? The wreckage of the vehicle was scattered, it was the car of the contestants who walked in front, and now, they have all been swallowed by the [Dark Veil], and only the dead world remains.

"Something ...... not so good"

Zhu Shuang subconsciously turned around, but was stopped by Bai Ge.

"You just have to drive forward."

He said, opening the car door, and the cold air poured into the car, causing his eyes to close tightly, and Wilbur, who was in a comatose state, subconsciously shrank his neck.

Bai Ge looked behind him, and the infinite darkness descended.

It was not night, but a suffocating darkness that was more secluded than night.

Bai Ge has only seen it in very few movies in the old era, which belongs to the darkness of the universe.

There was silence, and all he could see was the wreckage of the vehicles on the ground that melted into the darkness and never reappeared.

"Accelerate."

Bai Ge said, and at the same time, an invisible dagger appeared in his right hand, and he swiped lightly towards the void behind the car.

He tried to create a weakness in the darkness and break it down.

For a moment, the progress of the darkness seemed to slow down for a moment, but soon, the darkness from other places quickly filled up, still heading towards Flyer One.

"Isn't it really going to work......

Bai Ge was not surprised.

He once used the [Trojan Horse] to create a loophole in an attempt to cut off [gravity] and fly into the sky.

However, when he actually operated, although he was able to successfully explore the weakness of [Gravity] and cut it off, soon, the gravity from the planet would capture him again, and it was difficult to achieve the effect of controlling gravity like Tian Hong.

To put it simply, the essence of gravity is the interaction between the planet and itself, so as long as both exist, then gravity will continue to act, Bai Ge can only weaken it for a short time, but almost at the same time, this gap will be filled, unless he destroys the planet, otherwise he will always be bound by gravity.

And the air is different, although the air is eliminated, the surrounding air will also be filled, but after all, it takes time, so it is possible to create an upward force through this subtle difference.

Attacks on the "Origin" and attacks on the "Influence" will not achieve the same effect in the end.

At this time, the darkness that Bai Ge faced was similar to gravity, and it could not be eliminated with a single blow simply by creating a weakness.

"But, then, is darkness not an essence, but only an effect?"

Bai Ge also took this opportunity to gain insight into some information about the [Shadow Curtain].

In the mouths of the two professors, this monster seems to be made of shadows, but in fact, shadows and darkness are only phenomena created by this monster, and its body is not hidden in the shadows.

Or is it ......

"Is this darkness really just caused by it obscuring the starlight?"

Bai Ge raised his head.

In that dark eternal darkness, he caught something different from the darkness.

That is, too huge a being.

It may be less than a micron thick, but the curtain covers a radius of more than five kilometers, hanging high in the sky, casting a shadow on the ground.

It turns out that the [Shadow Curtain] is not a monster that sneaks underground, but flies in the sky.

Flyer One was speeding through as the ground gradually became engulfed in darkness.

According to Bai Ge's observation, the body of the [Nether Curtain] is located in the sky, and the projection of the ground is different from ordinary shadows, and it is also a part of its body.

In other words, the true body of the [Nether] is the part between the thin dark side of the sky and its shadow.

The black clouds in the sky and the shadows on the ground are like the open jaws of the [Dark Curtain], engulfing everything on the ground.

By engulfing other lifeforms, the Nether Curtain will gradually increase in size, which means that it will be able to further expand its shadow, and one day, maybe the Netherworld will be able to completely envelop the entire planet and envelop everything in this world in its own shadow.

And the reason why it is afraid of artificial light sources ......

“...... It's not because [Nether] is afraid of light, but because the strong light will make the shadow of [Nether] disappear, so it is difficult to rely on shadows to devour other creatures! ”

Under the sun, due to the diffraction of sunlight, it is actually difficult for the shadow of the [Shadow Curtain] to completely cover the ground, it can only move close to the ground, and it does not pose a big threat.

Only at night, under the false starlight, the [Nether Curtain] can freely devour other items, but due to the strong light of the supply station, the projection of the [Nether Curtain] is difficult to cover the light source, and the shadow will be projected into the sky by this light, so the two professors mistakenly think that the lighthouse of the supply station has dispelled the [Nether Curtain].

As for the vehicles that were unfortunately killed, it is very likely that they ignored the [Shadow Curtain] from behind, because they did not expect this monster to attack from the direction of the supply depot, so just like the previous Flyer One, the pilots did not notice the attack from behind.

Wait until it has been swallowed up by darkness, and then turn the direction and shine the bright light on the shadow of the ground, it is too late.

After learning this, what Bai Ge had to do was very simple.

With a twist of his left wrist, a searchlight appeared in his hand.

This searchlight came from under Wilbur's bed, and it was one of the wilderness survival kits, and Bai Ge used [Steal] to find it.

Smack-

As soon as the searchlight struck, a spot of light suddenly appeared on the pitch-black sky.

It can be seen that the shadows on the ground suddenly became thinner and lost the power to devour, and the thin [Nether] sensed that something was wrong, and quickly lowered its altitude, trying to completely envelop Flyer One.

If it forms a spherical space, even if there is a light source inside, there is no way to stop the devouring of the [Netherworld].

Luckily, the speed of [Shadow Veil] is limited, and from now on, it seems that there is no way to catch up with Flyer One immediately.

But the distance between the two is shortening, and the searchlight in the white singer is not infinitely charged, and if you continue to maintain this state, it is estimated that you may not be able to hold on until dawn and the sun comes out.

The best option now is to find the next supply station and use the station's lights to dispel the [Shadow Curtain].

The nearest supply depot to them was Eris, who had been heard from now.

It's a race against time.

...

...

When Wilbur woke up, he found that the co-pilot was gone.

"Huh? What about Mr. Heinlein? ”

He asked, slightly confused.

Zhu Shuangjiang glanced behind him, and then pointed to the roof of the car with his free finger.

Wilbur poked his head out and saw Bai Ge standing steadily on the roof of the car, holding a ...... in his hand Searchlight?

"Are you awake? We're almost at our destination. ”

Bai Ge said in a flat tone.

Wilbur didn't know much about it, and looked in the direction of Bai Ge's searchlight, and was stunned.

It was a deep shadow, obscuring the starlight, towards Flyer One.

Just looking at the darkness, Wilbur felt breathless, and some instinctive fear came over him, leaving the ordinary boy's mind blank and unable to move for a long time.

"This is the [Shadow Veil], but don't worry, it won't be able to catch up with us for the time being...... Well, only temporarily. ”

Bai Ge said with ease.

He continued to use his ability to widen the distance between Flyer One and [Shadow Curtain], so that he was able to not let the strange monster devour himself and others for more than half an hour.

Of course, during this period, Bai Ge also tried to attack the main body of the [Shadow Curtain], but it didn't work very well, that large curtain dispersed the damage, and I am afraid that only an existence like [Silver Wind Dawn] can completely wipe it out.

Fortunately, at the current rate, they will soon be able to see Eris.

Regardless of whether the supply station still exists or not, since Atlas has set up a treasure there, it means that Eris should be a place that ordinary contestants can enter, rather than being pursued by the [Nether] outside, I don't know how much better it is.

Wilbur hurriedly retracted into the car, looking back at the strange monster from time to time, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, the shadow would swallow itself, and even its existence would be erased.

However, this situation did not last long, and after about ten minutes, a nervous Wilbur suddenly saw a little light ahead

That's the light of the lighthouse at the supply depot.

The light of the lighthouse swirled, illuminating the dark night.

For Wilbur, the light, though cold, was warmer than the sun.

Almost the moment Flyer 1 rushed into the radiant range of the lighthouse, the pitch-black [Shadow Curtain] immediately stopped tracking, and it waited outside the range of the constantly rotating light for a moment, and then disappeared, never to be found again.

Bai Ge carefully observed for a while, and confirmed that the [Ghost Curtain] was no longer chasing him, so he turned over and returned to the car.

"It's gone."

With a brief explanation, Bai Ge threw the searchlight to Wilbur in the back seat, and looked ahead.

Beneath the lighthouse is a building similar to Pluto, standing alone under the starlight.

It's just that all the buildings seem to be shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and the details are not clear.

Frost slowed down, slowly approaching the silent supply depot in the night.

It soon became clear that the depot was different from Pluto in that the lighthouse stood alone, no equipment such as a water tank was found, and there was no trace of human presence in the depot.

And, under the lighthouse, is a strange building.

In the middle of the ruined supply depot is a quaint three-story building with a mottled sign hanging from the building's door.

“...... Library of Paradise? ”

Zhu Shuang saw the words on it clearly, and couldn't help but ask.
