Chapter 1: Nightmares

Next Chapter

With a crack in the sky, the wind began to roar, and the downpour rained down like bullets on the earth. The wind grew stronger, the thunder grew louder and louder, and the world began to roar. The horizon in the distance was now blurred, and dark clouds and lightning were about to give judgment to this troubled land. The space has become obscure and indistinguishable, and in the season of "restlessness", this is the most ominous portent.

A dilapidated truck is waddling through the wilderness, and the "omen" has been issued, and they must return to the settlement before the restlessness is over, or endless trouble awaits them, which can threaten their lives at any time.

But in such extreme weather, it is easy to have all kinds of accidents, such as the sudden breakdown of the car......

Sitting in the car was a young man, and next to him was another young man with a similar face, telling us that it was probably a pair of brothers. "Restlessness" comes when the car is turned

Anchoring in the wilderness is tantamount to waiting for death. It's as dangerous as if you were bathing in the middle of a hungry group of great white sharks covered in blood.

The earth begins to tremble at this time, which is a sign of "restlessness", and after restlessness is a "nightmare", leaving them with not enough time.

It was raining heavily outside the car, and in normal times, no one would want to stay in such a heavy rain for a second longer, but at the moment of life and death, even if a bullet fell from the sky, it had to be carried out. The trembling of the space became more and more urgent, and the spatial cracks as thin as gossamers slowly wandered. The black-gray mirage seeped out of these cracks and spread dramatically. The sky grew darker, and the terrible howls echoed through the wilderness as the mirage rose.

The sky turned completely dark, and the "nightmare" came. The "nightmare" is death, which is the fear engraved in the lives of the new generation, and those who fall into the dark nightmare have never recorded being alive. If you want to fight nightmares, you must be in the light, and only light can dispel darkness. Touching the flashlight from under their seats and watching the white light light light up, the two young people felt a little safer.

A cold hand-like thing suddenly landed on the back of the young man's neck, and the strange touch instantly made the young man feel excited, and the flashlight also rolled to the ground in a hurry, and after a few flashes, there was no more clear light.

No one can say exactly what the "nightmare" looks like, but without exception, all the people who underestimate the nightmare have died in the "nightmare".

"Nightmares" usually fall at night, and darkness is the realm they dominate. "Nightmares" occur in places where there is no light source or there is not enough light. Under the protection of the light source, the "nightmare" will generally only hover around you, threatening and intimidating you, but will not come close to you, but once you lose the protection of the light source, you will be swallowed up by the nightmare in an instant. In most cases, "nightmares" do not appear during the day, but there are always exceptions, and "restlessness" is the opportunity for "nightmares" to appear during the day.

The rainy season is the peak period of "restlessness", and "restlessness" is a symbol of the appearance of "daynightmares". An overwhelming mirage covered the sky, and within a quarter of an hour, beneath the dome was utter darkness.

The lights dimmed suddenly, and the car was instantly shrouded in darkness. The breath of the young people in the car is getting weaker and weaker, and the smell of humanity on them is getting darker and darker. They are being corrupted by nightmares, and to fall into a nightmare is to destroy life, which is the consensus that humanity has reached after paying a terrible price.

The sound of wind and rain outside the car window became quieter and quieter, and the mirage that shrouded the sky gradually dissipated, and the mirage could only exist for two hours at most, but even so, many humans would still die in it.

The wilderness was quiet, and the tattered car was parked alone in the middle of the wilderness, a red ribbon hanging from the mirror, limp and limp, and the raindrops on it had not yet dried up.

The skin of the two young men was a corrupt grayish-white at this time, and the empty eyes were no longer half of the soul fireworks.

The flashlight rolled off next to the foot brake, the light switch was on, and after a few more flashes, the light beads came back on, but it didn't matter, his owner wouldn't need it anymore.

Soon after, a search and rescue team appeared in the wilderness, methodically counting the resources on the truck, and by the way, performing simple repairs to the car. It is clear that the car did not arrive at the settlement on time, which has attracted the attention of the people in the settlement.

The recorder didn't feel much surprise at the death of the two young people, turned on the flashlight switch, hooked the corners of his mouth playfully, shook his head and smiled: "What a cute unlucky bastard." ”

Then he wrote a few lines in his notebook: "On October 5, 57 years of the new calendar, the scavengers Zhang Dachuan and Zhang Xiaochuan were killed in a nightmare. ”

The search and rescue of the Zhang brothers also ended here.

About fifteen kilometres along the wilderness trail are settlements, which are not large in size and function roughly the same as those of old villages, crowded together by thousands of people. Settlements guarantee human security to a certain extent.

In the center of the village is a mysterious lighthouse, which is not lit by a lamp in the traditional sense, but a mysterious irregular crystal that emits a strong and scorching light from the inside out.

The people of the settlement called this crystal "tinder", and as long as there was a place for the fire to shelter, it would not suffer from nightmares. Therefore, some people will also call the settlement with the fire the land of rules, or "the land of life". Unlike ordinary light sources, which can be stolen by "nightmares", the "tinder" in the lighthouse is absolutely safe and reliable.

But despite this, being in a settlement does not mean absolute security, and in addition to the so-called "rain", "restlessness" and "nightmare", "frenzy" is one of the most important factors affecting the security of the settlement. When the frenzy comes, countless demonic beasts will be led by the beastmaster, to launch a violent impact on the settlement, the scale of the frenzy is often related to the number of demonic beasts around, and the scale is not completely consistent, the smallest scale is only a few dozen, and the largest frenzy on record, there are as many as 300,000 heads, in that frenzy, more than 200 settlements were razed to the ground, and even one of them is a super city built on the base of high-grade fire.

The colony is surrounded by layers of protection, and in addition to its strong walls, it has a moat and a jungle of poison dart trees, which are clandestine traps on the outside. This reliable defense has helped the land withstand several frenzy of incursions.

The frenzy is a disaster, but at the same time, it is also a rare fortune, and the corpses of demonic beasts after the frenzy are almost all treasures. The skin of the demonic beast can be used to make reliable armor, and the tendons, bones, fangs, and claws of the demonic beast can be crafted into a variety of weapons. The blood of the demonized beast is used as a medicine for various strengthening medicines, and the flesh of the demonized beast is the main source of food for the powerful. The "Tinder" is the soul stone of the demonic beast, which will be produced on certain demonic beasts.
