The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle
Chapter 612 - 364: There Will Be No Safe Area in This City Anymore!_2

They had just encountered this type of monster, after all, the Abyss had directly poured a massive amount of "T-Virus Blood Serum Fragments" into the mix and had brought together a swarm of Hunters for cultivation.

But such a large number!

They were utterly petrified!

Although... it was clear that these monsters were still monsters, each one roaring madly, merely bloodthirsty and mindless beasts, while the entity from the Abyss was a specially evolved individual, extremely powerful and seemingly with self-awareness.

However.

There were too damn many of them!

And.

They were flooding through the crossroads like high tide! And they had already been streaming through for half a minute!

There was still no end in sight!

"How many of them are there, exactly?"

"And what the hell is that blue flame they are chasing?"

"I don't know the answers to your questions, but... what I do know is..." Bei Shenxing put his hands on their shoulders.

"It's time to run for our lives!"

The three of them didn't even wait to see the end of this street flood and took off running!

No more detours!

Damn it!

The infected area was so terrifying, who the hell would dare stay there!

They would have accepted it if they had just run into that group from the Abyss!

But if they were targeted by these large numbers of monsters!

Then they'd really only have one path left: death!

"Could these be the last... burst of the battle royale?" An Nan wondered, grinding his teeth as he analyzed.

"If our goal in this battle royale is to survive or find a way out, then if that's the case," Bei Shenxing said gravely.

"Until the end, I'm afraid not a single person will survive."

"Anyway, let's get out of here and head to the safety zone first!"

A single moment in this infected zone was unbearable!

At this very moment.

Su Qi, who was riding his Ghost Fire Motorcycle at breakneck speed through the infected zone, raised an eyebrow.

"I thought I just saw three people."

"I don't know if it was an illusion, but somehow it felt like it was Bei Shenxing, Jiulin, and An Nan."

"Tch."

"Still got time to wander in the infected zone, then the safety zone must not be too bad."

Su Qi glanced back.

A massive number of monsters were flooding in like a tidal wave, no joke, like a deluge, all the vehicles on the ground were crushed, every passable place filled up to the brim.

Even the weaker structures like shops and phone booths that weren't supposed to be passable were directly breached.

"Looks like they've gathered up pretty well," Su Qi muttered to himself.

He had discovered the traits of these monsters, which was that as long as they were stirred up, they would persistently chase after him, and unless he disappeared for over ten minutes, from sight and scent, completely hidden, they would give up the pursuit.

Plus, given their herd mentality, they would always follow behind, all the way up to now.

Of course, for others, this was a troublesome issue, An Nan had waited a long time before daring to leave the cafe.

But for Su Qi, it was a perfect mechanism.

He didn't have to worry about missing any monsters, nor did he worry about the monster horde being too long and too many, causing the hatred to dissipate and the battle to end.

So.

Su Qi had never stopped, starting from the outskirts of the City, he attracted the monsters from every single street.

"Although I can't gather up all the monsters in the infected area, it looks like they should be more than enough as it is."

Hunters, and... those monsters that Su Qi called Night Demons, their numbers were now countless.

Su Qi could feel it, too.

Now it seemed to have reached a critical point in time.

The safety zone had shrunk to an even smaller range, and beyond that... there was also the distant storm.

Su Qi looked toward the storm!

The terrifying storm split the sky and earth, and even though it was still some distance away, it was already so shocking within sight!

This vast amount of infection fog originated from it, and nobody knew what the eye of the hurricane was.

Even Su Qi couldn't see it, after all, question marks could only arise within his line of sight, but he could still see a multitude of question marks.

However.

The information displayed by these question marks was fragmented and unclear, and the only two words he could see were:

[Blood Demon...]

Clearly, there was a lot of information—it was possible to see many dark Nihility fonts, but the only words that could be seen clearly were these two.

Could this really be information buried in the Old Days?

Su Qi wasn't surprised at all.

Previously, in the hospital of Anxious Land, he knew his question mark couldn't see everything; information buried in the Old Days would be displayed in a vague, dark font.

The situation was the same now.

However.

Su Qi still learned that inside this hurricane was something deeply related to the Blood Demon, and it seemed likely that all this infectious Strength originated from the Blood Demon.

Moreover, he discovered something else—there appeared to be a peculiar suppressed feeling on his body, as if it came from within him.

Yet, because Su Qi's body had so many things on it, the suppressing feeling had no effect whatsoever.

"It seems another piece of evidence that connects the traits of the Night Demon I acquired from consuming the Blood Demon Fruit with the power before me," he murmured.

Truth be told.

By now, Su Qi had confirmed that the Blood Demon Fruit and the Strength present here were cut from the same cloth, as they could ignore any rules and restrictions—a phenomenon he hadn't encountered anything similar to as he later progressed.

"It's about time to annihilate some," he decided.

Su Qi twisted the throttle, and flames from the Ghost Fire burst forth mightily! His speed surged!

Along the way, he also created a vast amount of Starfire to guide these packed resources on their path.

One reason to annihilate some was that Su Qi wanted sustainable development, and to "cultivate" these creatures.

Because.

Each one would grow and transform as the storm expanded, the green fog thickened, and the infection intensified.

The stronger they grew, the better and more plentiful the loot they burst forth would be—and, of course, most crucially the [Blood Serum Fragments], whose drop rate would significantly increase, albeit by just a bit, but definitely a higher yield.

Moreover.

Ordinary zombies advancing to Hunters, and Hunters transforming into Night Demons, would both undergo significant changes, including rewards.

Naturally, Su Qi could first harvest a wave of prey, then nurture a wave of monsters.

The next moment!

Thumb-sized, dense mechanical bodies appeared all around Su Qi, gathering around him like a swarm of bees!

This was the powerful firepower he had obtained before.

[Annihilation Bee Swarm]

Though it could only be used once, now was the time to use it, as he had already acquired even more powerful Equipment.

And in the very next instant!

All the bees lit up, and numerous Annihilation Beams erupted together, striking straight into the pile of monsters!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions roared continuously as the Annihilation light persisted!

Su Qi turned back to look.

A vast number of Hunters had almost no time to evade; they were easily penetrated and annihilated, while the New Night Demons, which had the instinct to avoid danger, tried dodging. However, once they could not escape, they too were easily pierced through!

Su Qi averted his gaze.

He didn't need to pay attention to how many he had killed; simply seeing the increase in his resources told him enough.

"It seems... there's a bit too much," he said.

Even with a tenfold burst rate, the variety of enhancements and Energy Potions he could adapt to were more than he could use.

Even if his consumption while staying in the infected area increased several times over, Su Qi could find an undamaged Five-Star Hotel and sleep for a few days first.

But what was really important was the Blood Serum Fragment.

This thing.

He now had nearly ten thousand of them, with their liquid contents swaying delicately inside—this sheer number, when combined, could lead to what kind of change?

However.

At this time.

Su Qi's wristwatch vibrated slightly, and he glanced at it to see the pixelated image of the Black and White Bear with its low frame rate smile.

[Please note]

[The Battle Royale has almost reached its final stage]

[Now it's time for me to give you some motivation]

[In five minutes, everyone will be able to convert all the resources you have acquired into your own strength, that is, Spiritual Energy]

[Also, unlocking the highest level of Equipment, one of which is your own Sequence Characteristics ability, of course, the strength will be linked to the resources]

[Then... it's the final Battle Royale!]

The words of the Black and White Bear carried a tone of feigned mystery and teasing.

[Be careful, soon... there will be no safe zones left in this City]
