Chapter 729: Chapter 399: Disaster Fog (4K)_2

"Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"Relax, I didn’t want to stress you out." Chen Yu replied, "The challenge task has already ended, and the Evolution Game should be updating today. Be careful, and adjust your tactics as well. Come on, I’ve never seen you so hesitant when slashing someone on the battlefield. Don’t be afraid, I’ll be your wingman tonight."

"I’m not afraid."

Li Changhe scratched his head and rode his bike to school.

"Are you nervous?" Yun Ting, a voice in Li Changhe’s mind, said with a laugh, "I remember when you faced the elf navy alone, your heartbeat wasn’t as fast as it is now."

"How can that be the same?" Li Changhe replied. At that time, the elf navy was an enemy, and he just needed to kill them swiftly. Li Changhe was never hesitant when it came to fighting.

Meeting the kid’s dad...or rather, the father-in-law... was all about being overpowered from the start.

"What if I just say ’I’ll take good care of your daughter, don’t worry’ when we meet... will I get punched for it?"

As Li Changhe wondered how to act when they meet in the evening, he walked into the school.

Li Changhe didn’t notice that not far from the school gate, a man in a suit was silently watching him while munching on a fried dough stick.

His name was Xiao Mo, and he was Xiao Nan’s father.

It must be said that at first glance, Li Changhe looked quite good. Wearing the clothes that Yun Ting had chosen for him, his tall figure was displayed quite well.

"His first impression is not bad, but I don’t know what kind of person he is." Xiao Mo thought to himself.

Then, he called out, "Boss, give me another bowl of soy milk."

Naturally, Li Changhe knew nothing of this. When he entered the classroom, he saw his deskmate Old Zhao looking haggard with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Wow, what happened to you?" Li Changhe was surprised.

"Ah..." Old Zhao said listlessly, "That feeling has become stronger. I took some melatonin last night and barely managed to sleep."

"That shouldn’t be the case, the officials should have already addressed it." Li Changhe thought. He had already contacted the authorities. There shouldn’t be such a problem. Or could it be that even the officials couldn’t solve it?

While thinking, he went to his [Friends] and asked Luo Kai.

"It’s very strange. That colleague was with that student almost all day, but we didn’t find any beasts. However, we did find tiger footprints around his house." Luo Kai said, "Not only that, we also found several cases similar to Zhao Qianhui’s condition. They all feel that there is something dangerous lurking around them."

"A tiger too?"

"No... they’re all different." Luo Kai replied, "But they’re all things they fear, some are wild beasts, some are murderers, and some are... Instance Abnormalities."

"Instance Abnormalities? You mean players are also affected?"

Li Changhe’s heart clenched. Ordinary people couldn’t even see Instance monsters, and those who feared Instance Abnormalities...had to be players who had seen them.

If even players were unknowingly affected, could he be affected as well?

"You’re right. We’ve confirmed that those individuals are all within Yanyun City area. Or rather... all within the range of this fog. You might have been affected as well."

The fog? The fog that appeared yesterday?

Li Changhe’s face changed, thinking that he might have been affected already! It was just for some reason that the effect hadn’t shown itself yet.

What’s more, how many people were covered by the fog in Yanyun City?

One hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Or even more.

And it was still uncertain whether passing through the fog would affect them or not.

The number of affected people might be huge, reaching a terrifying amount.

"How could this be?" Li Changhe asked, "The Evolution Game shouldn’t let the Instance threats reach ordinary people."

Evolution Game treats [Players] as servants, but it treats ordinary people and plot characters as if they were closely related.

There are very few tasks aimed at ordinary people.

"Who knows? The heavy fog and human players completing the challenge instance were almost simultaneous." Luo Kai responded, "Perhaps... this update... is meant to create a large number of new players among humans? In addition to Yanyun, three other cities in other countries have experienced similar situations. They are also in the fog, and the most terrifying things appeared as well. But no matter how hard you tried, you can’t find those things, as if they disappeared in the fog. The half-gods in various governments are currently studying."

"So what are your plans now?" Li Changhe looked out the window, and today’s fog was getting even denser.

Even with Li Changhe’s Hawk Eye Magic Eye activated, he couldn’t see too far.

As a result, many vehicles got trapped on the highway, making a lot of noise.

The classmates were marveling at the thick fog; such dense fog was rare to see.

They didn’t know they were already under some bizarre influence and thought it was just an ordinary foggy day.

The girl glanced back at Li Changhe, perhaps looking forward to tonight’s dinner party. She was dressed particularly beautifully today.

Her white blouse and dark, knee-length skirt made her look exceptionally gorgeous.

And now, she must have received some notification too.

"It seems our meeting today will have to be postponed," she said with a slight parting of her cherry lips.

Li Changhe chuckled lightly, "Let it be postponed, our ending won’t change a bit."

By now, Li Changhe didn’t think anything could stop him and the girl, no one could. This was no joke.

A few minutes later.

Luo Kai’s nickname in [Friends] flashed again.

"We have already made the worst preparations and started taking action. The army has begun to assemble, but they haven’t entered the fog rashly. We’re worried that the more people enter, the more difficult it will be." Luo Kai explained, "Soon, you’ll receive a notification."

"Do you have any clues yet?" Li Changhe asked.

"We do. They are already posted on the forum," Luo Kai said.

Li Changhe immediately entered the [forum].

He didn’t need to look for it.

As the thread was pinned by the various governments.

[The mysterious fog that has appeared in four cities in the real world has now been determined to be a World Destruction Level Catastrophe, "Fear Cataclysmic Fog".]

[Disaster Fog has Four Stages]

[First Stage: The disaster fog will selectively cover densely populated areas. Humans in the fog for over an hour will be marked by the fog, which will then follow them. So every place must strictly control the already marked humans.]

[Second Stage: After marking, the disaster fog will create the existence that the target is most afraid of in their hearts. Some humans will detect fear during this period. We call the individuals created, Terror Devils. They have varying strengths and are replicated according to the target’s most feared object. If you’re afraid of rats, it will replicate a rat. If you’re afraid of tigers, it will replicate a tiger. If you’re afraid of an evil god, it won’t replicate a complete evil god, there’s an upper limit. This is the only good news.]

[Third Stage: After a certain time, the disaster fog will release those creations. Terror Devils hold great hostility toward humans. Apart from a few special Terror Devils, the rest cannot suppress the malice in their hearts and will directly attack humans. After all humans in the fog have died, the Terror Devils will leave the fog.]

[Fourth Stage: Remember, remember! Don’t let the target leave the fog before killing all the Terror Devils in the fog. Otherwise, the Terror Devils will turn into a new disaster fog! A plot world with several demigods, even divinities, was destroyed by the disaster fog!]

[Due to the disaster fog’s traits, armies of all countries will not enter the fog, otherwise, more Terror Devils will be created.]

[Currently, the best way to deal with the disaster fog is for players or Transcendents who have already been marked by the disaster fog to kill all the Terror Devils within the fog. This is very difficult, as each city has tens or even hundreds of thousands of victims. But there is still a glimmer of hope.]

[Players who can control their own fears can also enter the fog to help voluntarily. However, it’s not recommended; you might be able to kill thousands or even more Terror Devils, but you might also create even more terrifying Terror Devils. Even enough to create a world-ending Terror Devil.]

[As of now, we hope the human world will survive this catastrophe.]
