Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 545 - 145 You’re Right, But This Is the Night in the Wasteland (6K for Monthly Pass)_2
"Wait, 6 p.m., meaning it’s about to get dark..."
Xu Shu’s expression suddenly stiffened as an unpleasant thought surged up.
This was outside the safe zone’s city wall.
During the day, this place could indeed be considered the safest, since the garrison patrolled the wall, and if any monsters approached, people inside would not ignore it, but would immediately arrange for someone to come out and eradicate them.
But after dark, a large number of monsters would emerge, completely flooding over the city wall.
Damn it, the last time I opened a legend outside the safe zone was a long time ago, and it was in the morning, so after finishing, it was still four or five in the afternoon, still early.
But this time, it was already the afternoon when I started, so it would definitely be dark when I returned, something I should have anticipated!
How could I have forgotten this time...Why, normally I wouldn’t forget!
Damn it, no wonder! No wonder this time the second draw of the legend gave two Purple Fate Charts!
Could it be that the Tai Chu Scroll already anticipated the trouble I would encounter upon returning to reality?
Xu Shu’s heart tightened suddenly.
But at this moment, the situation was urgent, leaving no room for him to think why he, normally so cautious, had acted so rashly this time.
First thing’s first, get out of here!
Xu Shu cautiously peeked his head out to look outside the window.
Outside the window was the flat stretch of land spanning several kilometers outside the city wall.
The freshly climbed moonlight at the tip of the willow tree shone serenely on the earth, as if laying a layer of silver gauze on the ground.
Looking up at the city wall, there were no monsters yet.
Looking closer, the ground occasionally formed downward spiraling vortexes, like hourglasses, from which one peculiar creature after another slowly climbed out. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"There really are... these monsters that only appear at night."
Xu Shu sharply inhaled, silently retreating back without disturbing them.
These monsters crawled up from the underground, numerous in count.
Just now there were only a few here and there, but in the blink of an eye, they were crawling everywhere.
Fortunately, they did not seem to notice Xu Shu.
Crawling from afar, they passed by the restroom where Xu Shu was hiding, without paying any mind, one by one continuously heading towards the city wall with lukewarm, sleepy movements.
Ssssh, ssssh, their footsteps on the ground were also gentle.
They were like primary school students traveling in lines, orderly under the teacher’s instructions.
Before long, some monsters climbed atop the city wall, clinging motionlessly to the outside of the wall, quietly watching the moon.
At the top of the city wall, beams of light occasionally shot out; those were the City Defense Army troops passing above, seemingly blind to these monsters, each minding their own business.
The entire Wasteland was quite quiet, lacking the envisioned scene of monsters howling at the sky or of gunfire and soldiers of the human defense forces clashing with the monsters.
"Heh heh, well, it might not be as bad as I imagined..."
Xu Shu internally breathed a sigh of relief, starting to seriously consider how he would survive this night.
If these monsters were only climbing the wall to bask under the moonlight, that would be a good thing for him.
As long as he quietly hid in the restroom, he could last until morning when the sun came up, and naturally, all these things would retreat.
Heh, the restroom was a bit damp, but it had a relatively fresh and pleasant scent, not too unbearable...
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Xu Shu suddenly heard a strange sound, very close, starting abruptly.
Whoosh, whoosh.
The sound came from inside the restroom, from within the squatting toilet.
"Wait, could it be..."
Xu Shu’s heart tightened, he stiffly turned toward the source of the sound.
In the porcelain white toilet, clear water turbulently churned, splashing out continuously and growing louder and more vigorous.
Before long, Xu Shu understood why the sewer was blocked.
It must have been blocked shortly before.
Because three lovely heads floated up from the sewer, their hair dripping wet, their mouths covered with a mix of black and yellow clay-like substances, six big eyes blinking as they unanimously turned towards the only living person in the restroom.
"..." Xu Shu quietly watched the Flying Head Woman.
"..." The Flying Head Woman also quietly watched Xu Shu.
Their big eyes stared at small eyes, six eyes staring at two eyes, neither of them spoke first.
The Flying Head Woman’s six eyes appeared lifeless, unfocused, and their pupils were tiny.
"...It seems like it didn’t notice me? Could it be that these monsters that climb up from underground at night are special, lacking sight, unable to see me?"
"It’s quite possible...I heard that animals living in lightless environments for years would gradually lose their eyes..."
Xu Shu felt he might not be discovered and involuntarily held his breath, hoping the creature would leave on its own.
The Flying Head Woman continued to blankly look in Xu Shu’s direction.
It appeared somewhat bewildered while instinctively tugging at the part below its head.
It was a long, sack-like, engorged intestine filled with flesh.
It pulled and pulled, stretching out several heads connected by the meaty intestines.
In total, there were nine, floating like big sea urchins.
Once the other "sisters" also climbed out from the toilet squatting hole, these shit-covered Flying Heads looked at Xu Shu and finally, opening their mouths full of shit, began to scream in unison:
