[Safety Zone C has been selected, and dormitory locations are randomly assigned. ]

【Forced to enter the exclusive group chat of safe zone C. 】

[Warning, under the influence of unknown forces, players may transform malice into dark erosion, and in serious cases they may even be swallowed by the dark erosion.]

[Wish you all a happy game! 】

-

"Have fun, your sister."

Chen Bei cursed.

Every new game is a new experience.

This game is set in a doomsday setting.

The core setting is that human malice will be transformed into a monster called "Dark Eclipse".

It's not just the NPCs in the game that can transform into Dark Corruption.

The same goes for players.

You have to know that many of the experienced players are ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye, and the malice in their hearts is much greater than that of normal people!

Therefore, this background setting is very dangerous for players.

There is a possibility that a situation may arise.

The player was not killed, but was transformed into Dark Eclipse.

There is another core issue that needs attention.

Dark Eclipse will drop Afterglow resources.

Afterglow can be used to maintain a protective barrier.

If players don’t want to sit and wait for death, they must enter the danger zone to collect the residual light, and then bring it back to the safe zone to maintain the operation of the safe zone.

This means that players must take risks and not expect to get through the game cycle safely.

Then there is the tit-for-tat between players.

Three safe zones equal three groups of players.

If conflicts or even large-scale clashes occur between different security zones, it could be worse than an eclipse.

Chen Bei understood the general settings and had a clear idea of ​​what was going on.

Soon, the three safe zones were filled up one after another.

The remaining players who did not have time to make a choice were automatically moved into the safe zone with vacancies.

All players' dormitories have taken root and have specific locations.

Soon after, the dormitory restrictions were lifted and players were able to enter and leave freely.

A loud speaker broadcast came from outside, with a man's voice saying:

"I am Li Dalong, the district chief of Area C. Please ask 20 new members to report to me and receive the survival manual and special equipment!"

The same thing was shouted three times in a row.

It seems that I have to go, it may be closely related to the next game.

As Chen Bei walked, he opened the exclusive group chat for Zone C.

Before, I couldn’t see who entered Area C, but now I can.

He went through the player list twice.

I didn't see a familiar name.

The guy named Dulong was not assigned to the same area as him.

This means that the difficulty of this pursuit mission has increased.

Now that things have come to this, we can only accept it.

Chen Bei went out and looked around.

The safe zone is quite large, and player dormitories are scattered in different locations.

Others are buildings from the game scene itself.

The entire safety zone is surrounded by two circles of iron fences, above which are hung many light-emitting devices.

The soft golden light protects the entire safe zone.

It seems that this is the so-called protective barrier.

There are some NPCs in the safe zone.

Some of them looked like ordinary civilians, either dirty or wearing tattered clothes, and they all looked like they were living a miserable life.

Some are combatants, well-equipped and armed.

Then there are the various players.

Players are easier to identify because they either wear strange clothes or have mutations on them, which can be seen at a glance.

The broadcast started again, and the voice came from a platform where there were some people.

Chen Bei walked over and stepped onto the platform.

The man holding a loud speaker, wearing a big hat, combat uniform, and multiple badges of honor, is protected by NPCs on both sides.

Players came on stage one after another and gathered in front of this guy.

"I'm District Chief Li Dalong, the highest official here. You are new here, so you must abide by the rules here."

"Each newcomer can receive three things."

"They are the survival manual, the 'Erosion Detector', and the 'Darkness Monitoring Table'."

"I won't waste my time talking nonsense. You can take turns to come and claim them. The usage and functions of the two special equipment are recorded in detail in the survival manual."

Li Dalong gave a long speech.

It seems that the introduction to the game rules just now is not comprehensive, and there is more content waiting for players to discover and study on their own.

A group of players stepped forward and took turns to receive their items.

Chen Bei got his share.

The survival manual means exactly what it says. When you open it, it contains all kinds of content about survival in the doomsday.

For example, detailed records of dark erosion.

In the previous introduction to the game rules, Dark Corrosion was only briefly mentioned.

The manual contains much more details.

There are also instruction manuals for the two special equipment.

The dark erosion detector can detect whether there is dark erosion around. If the distance to the dark erosion is very close, it will use the display effect to warn the wearer.

The Blackening Detection Watch is a watch that can detect the severity of a player's own malice.

If the malice is too great, dark erosion will occur in the body!

Chen Bei equipped himself with both pieces of special equipment.

The eclipse detector is equipped on the shoulder of the back. It looks like a metal pointer with a light device on it. The green light represents safety, the yellow light represents warning, and the red light represents that the eclipse is nearby.

The blackened detection watch looks like a smart watch. When Chen Bei put it on, the readings were displayed on it.

Darkening: 8/100.

It doesn't seem to be very high at the moment and is within a safe range.

Chen Bei is abnormal among a group of normal people.

Among a group of crazy murderers, he is actually the most normal one.

Everything is determined by comparison.

Other players also studied their respective special equipment and found them quite novel.

"How about going out for a walk?"

"The rules of the game clearly state that killing Dark Eclipse will drop Remnant Light resources. This proves that Dark Eclipse is within our capabilities and we can deal with it."

"I support you to go."

"Don't worry. We will give you one day's worth of residual light at the beginning. That means we are safe on the first day. If we don't go out to collect the residual light, maybe the NPC will go there on their own."

"That makes sense. I'll go back and have a good sleep then."

Players have different attitudes.

But one thing is unified.

No one wants to be the first to stand out.

Before fighting in person, it is impossible to be sure how strong Dark Eclipse's actual combat ability is.

Chen Bei didn't rush back to the dormitory, but came to the entrance of the safe zone.

There are hot weapons set up here and NPC guards on duty.

Look out with your naked eyes.

Across the street was a deserted, lifeless street. The buildings on both sides were dilapidated and bore many scars from battle.

It is clearly daytime now, but there are dark clouds overhead, making the sky and the earth appear dark.

The whole city is like a dead city.

Only the safe zone was glowing.

Chen Bei stared at it for a while.

Suddenly, a figure moved on the opposite street and ran hurriedly from one side to the other.

"Someone!" Chen Bei blurted out.

"You're mistaken, that's not a human!" said the NPC guard on the side coldly.
