  "What? What's going on?"

The person in charge of the third round of the actual combat hurried out in his nightgown, his face mixed with confusion and confusion: "What happened?"

"It's the call from Chief Mu." The

person in charge answered He picked up the phone, and his expression became more and more shocked and dignified.

After hanging up the phone, he snapped: "Quick! Turn off the simulation in the actual combat area! Evacuate all the students in the test!"

"No, no!" Everything inside seems to be out of control!" The

person in charge turned to look at the monitoring station on the side.

Just five minutes ago, a zone in the actual combat simulation had a terrifying peak in the abnormal magic response.

Immediately afterwards, all students' communication devices were taken offline.

All monsters' GPS collars failed.

It's as if... in just a few minutes, the area where the simulated actual combat was engulfed and isolated by some powerful force became an isolated island, where no one could enter and no one could leave.

The person in charge was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his mind was blank.

He turned his head to look at the staff on the side, and there was a faint trembling and fear in his unsteady voice: "Come on...call the crisis management office of the authority."

The development of this matter has exceeded their ability. , and now there is no other option than the Authority's intervention.

Lin Yanming raised his head blankly and stared at the sky in front of him.

It was still pitch-black, but it seemed to be slightly different from before—the night sky that was originally simulated was dark, but there were still faint twinkling stars, but now it has become pure dark black, as if all the light was blown away. The black hole-like sky devoured in front of him gave people an unpredictable sense of danger.

This is... what happened?

He turned on the backup light source and looked down at his watch.

The points dial of the watch is still lit, but maps and communications are no longer available.

This means... no way of contacting the outside world, no way of knowing where you are.

Lin Yanming felt panicked for the first time.

"Oops, it should be that the magic activity in this place has been too frequent recently, and the abyss crack has expanded ahead of time." The

demon worm tucked into Shi An's sleeve and said quietly.

Shi An lowered his eyes, his long black eyelashes lowered demurely, and the masked pupils slowly returned to their human state.

He looked at his palm, his fingers were slender and fair, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"But the concentration here is still too low."

Shi An touched his palm, which hadn't changed much, and said disappointedly,

"It's still not enough."

"Well...after all, this area has only been initially alienated. That's it, the concentration is definitely not as good as the inside of the abyss." The

magic worm paused and continued: "In fact, if you wait here, you can wait until the degree of alienation deepens and the state is similar to the abyss, but I am worried that this gap will support It won't be that long."

After all, the area where the outbreak occurred is too central, and humans will definitely take it seriously.

Therefore, it is estimated that before the alienation is completed, this gap has been closed by the Administration.

"Or... the adults still follow the original plan and enter the inside of the abyss crack?" The devil suggested.

Shi An thought for a while: "I like this."

But he seemed to think of something suddenly, and his mood suddenly dropped, and he said, "Then... don't we have time to find the grey crow's nest?"

The corner of the devil's mouth twitched. Pumping: "...Yes."

Shi An was all depressed.

"But...but..." The Demon Worm racked his brains and said, "You can find the Grey Crow's Den whenever you want, right? The most important thing now is to restore your strength, sir. What treasure won't be available at that time? Right ?"

Following the description of the monster, a silver-haired figure flashed in Shi An's mind.

He finally cheered up: "You're right."

- When he recovers, what treasure can't be grabbed!

Shi An turned to look at Lin Yanming not far away.

Lin Yanming was looking down and fiddling with his watch anxiously.

But no matter how hard he tried, the positioning mode and communication equipment couldn't be invoked... it was over.

Generally, emergency exits are set up in the center of each area.

But... they are now at the junction of the forest area, the rain forest area, and the scorched earth area, and they are far away from either side.

Now it's dark and can't identify the direction at all. If you look for it blindly, there is only a dead end.

Shi An turned to look at Lin Yanming: "Do you still want to go to that area in the east?"

Lin Yanming's eyes lit up: "Do you know the way?

" The sense of direction is very strong!"

Using the backup light source, Lin Yanming raised his eyes and looked at Shi An who was standing not far from him.

The boy's brows and eyes are soft and calm, and his dark eyes look back silently from the shadows. It seems that nothing can make him lose his calm posture now, giving him an inexplicable sense of reliability.

I don't know why, although everyone said that Shi'an is a once-in-a-lifetime waste, but after getting along for such a long time, Lin Yanming always felt that there was an indescribable mystery in the other party, even a subtle difference between ordinary people. The strange feeling - which made him always want to believe what the other party said.

And the most important thing is...

In addition to following Shi An, the only option left is to stay where you are and wait for rescue - and who knows what the situation is now outside, and whether they can locate each of them, rather than resign like this, It is better to use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yanming took a deep breath and seemed to finally make up his mind, and said,

"...Okay! I believe in you!"

——Maybe, Shi An really knows the way to the forest area!

Shi An happily smiled at Lin Yanming.

——Of course he knows how to get to the gray-black area in the east, after all, there are magic insects secretly guiding him in his sleeves.

In the silent darkness, Lin Yanming walked forward with difficulty.

Contrary to when he came, this time Shi An was at the forefront.

The young man's back was straight and slender, and he was always within Lin Yanming's line of sight. The darkness that couldn't see his fingers seemed to have little effect on him, and the steps under his feet were always smooth and steady, without hesitation.

However, it was so quiet around here.

All he could hear was the pounding of his heart and the rustling of the grass beneath his feet.

Lin Yanming swallowed his saliva, carefully breaking the silence, and said,

"That..."

He didn't really think about what to say, but he couldn't bear the unbearable silence.

However, the moment he made his voice, Lin Yanming heard a strange echoing sound against the back of his neck, repeating what he had just said in a strange hoarse voice: "That..."

Lin Yanming suddenly froze . upright.

He slumped suddenly, and the arrows condensed with magic power immediately attacked in the direction of the sound!

The arrow fell into the void and was engulfed by the darkness.

The backup light source on the watch illuminated a small area behind, the pale light so small and faint in the overwhelming shadows around it.

It was a monster with a height of three meters. Its body was as thin and long as noodles, with a huge and heavy head hanging from its neck.

It turned its head, and the seven irregularly arranged eyes on its dark face stared at the two humans in front of it.

The same weird hoarse voice came out of his mouth, and he repeated mechanically:

"That..."

Lin Yanming felt his hair rise, and a strange chill rose from the depths of his spinal cord.

He was so big, and he had never seen such a monster before.

And what's even more terrifying is...

Lin Yanming's eyes fell on the neck of the monster, and he swallowed hard.

- It was empty up there.

No school collar, nothing.

Lin Yanming wasn't sure, did it break free from its bondage, or...

it wasn't a monster caught by the school at all?

No matter which option, he couldn't help horrified.

The monster swayed its slender body and approached quickly in a strange posture. The seven eyes on its face blinked at different frequencies, a huge mouth was split open on its face, and the circles of sharp teeth in it flashed with cold light.

"Run!"

Lin Yanming shouted in horror, turning around and dragging Shi An to flee.

"Run..." "Run..."

The monster behind him mechanically repeated what Lin Yanming said over and over again while chasing them.

Lin Yanming was sweating profusely, and he could only hear the sound of his sharp breathing and the haunting whispers behind him.

The darkness engulfed his sense of direction, making him feel as if he were running in an endless swamp.

Sudden.

Footsteps came from all directions, and the identical mechanical murmurs overlapped each other, resounding in my ears:

"Run..." "Run..." "Run..."

Lin Yanming stopped abruptly.

His pupils contracted, his face was pale, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

With the backup light source, he saw that there were dozens of slender monsters, surrounded by them from all directions, each heavy head was staring at them, repeating two words: "Quickly. run".

But...there is no escape.

"Try it, try the light magic attack, it should be effective for this kind of thing."

Lin Yanming said to Shi An incoherently.

He released it towards the one closest to him, but it was effective, but he only forced it back for a few seconds. After the magic power subsided, the monster began to approach again.

It's over, it's over, it's over --

there are only the last two words left in Lin Yanming's mind.

"Then, is the fire element okay?"

At this moment, he heard a soft, even curious voice from the young man beside him.

"..."

What?

Lin Yanming did not respond.

"It's like this."

The moment the voice fell, the scorching flames rolled up like a wave, instantly igniting the darkness, wrapped in an astonishing high temperature, and aggressively rushed towards the monster in front of him!

The raging flames roared as if possessing sanity, devouring the slender figure one by one.

But in just a few seconds, the prancing fire circled around the two of them, locking them firmly in the middle.

The soaring fire dispelled the haze and illuminated the vast plain as bright as day.

In the blazing fire, the monsters let out a shrill scream, and the slender figure swayed and struggled frantically in the scorching fire, but no matter what, they could not escape from it.

"..."

- how destructive, overwhelming, aggressively powerful that was.

Lin Yanming stood dumbfounded.

His face was flushed red by the light of the fire. Although he was far away, he could still feel the temperature of the flame not far away on his skin. It was so hot that he could hardly think.

I don't know how long.

Maybe seconds, maybe centuries.

The fire and the heat went out together.

As if everything was just a cruel and grand hallucination in his mind.

In the darkness, only the faint brightness of the backup light source remained.

The light dimly illuminated the open space not far away, as well as the piles of ashes on the ground.

Wait, not a hallucination?

Lin Yanming felt that his head had become muddy.

It's been a long time.

He turned his head with difficulty, and could almost hear the gurgling sound from his neck. Unbelievably, he stared stiffly at Shi An beside him.

The boy seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head to look back.

The facial features appear softer in the dark, and the outlines of a pair of eyes are rounded. When looking at people intently, they give people a coquettish mood.

I saw Shi An embarrassedly pursed his lips and smiled:

"I really don't know how to use light, I only know this." Lin Yanming

: ".................."

"The people from the Administration are here!"

"What? Please come in!" The person in charge was startled and hurriedly walked out to greet him.

Mu Heng lowered his eyes, his long hair was meticulously tied behind his head, and his coat and gloves tightly covered his pale skin, making him look neat and abstinent.

Wen Yao was standing not far away, she put on a fighting costume, her skin was light brown, her eyebrows were refreshing, and she was handing over information with the staff, asking something in a low voice.

This time, they are all elites specially trained by the combat department of the Administration to deal with this special situation.

The person in charge reached out his hand anxiously: "Mr. Mu..."

Mu Heng glanced down at the other's outstretched hand, but did not move.

The person in charge suddenly remembered the other party's habit of not wanting to have physical contact with people, and withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "I'm sorry... I'm too anxious."

He asked, "What are you going to do next? ?"

Mu Heng's voice was cold and deep, as if he was not affected by the panic of the other party at all: "Have you set up emergency entrances and exits in the actual battlefield?"

"Of course! It's in the center of each area!"

Mu Heng said Nodding his head, he continued to ask, "Are there any teachers or staff who are familiar with the terrain of the actual battlefield?"

"Yes, yes!"

Mu Heng: "Arrange one for each area, and let them follow my team in to rescue the trapped students." The

person in charge: "Then... how are you going to deal with the abyss crack in the scorched earth area?"

"Close it from the inside. It." Mu Heng said calmly:

"I'll go in person." The

person in charge: "Then I'll be with you..."

Mu Heng interrupted him: "No need." The

person in charge was stunned: "Why...?"

Mu Heng said succinctly: "It's too dangerous." The

abyss will continue to release poisonous gas outwards, so he must always use magic to protect himself. Certainly weakened, not to mention other people with weaker self-protection ability.

"What's more, after the alienation begins, the area closer to the abyss crack is transformed more deeply. Even if there is a guide, it will not help."

Although the person in charge is still unwilling, he can only sigh and obey the other party's arrangement: "You That's right."

Mu Heng nodded, turned and walked forward.

The person in charge hurriedly chased after him: "Eh... Then don't you need anything else?"

Mu Heng's silver-blue eyes were calm and indifferent, without the slightest arrogance, as if he was simply stating a fact:

" No need."

"I alone is enough."
