Ash Civilization

The basement of Huangjia Club.

Xie Qiongning leaned motionless on the load-bearing pillar, having lost all the strength to struggle.

Not far away from her, the pen-shaped flashlight continued to emit bright light.

The infected person who had almost fully opened the White Goose doll costume, as well as other buyers wearing various doll costumes, stood still around the light source like moths.

In the darkness, I could only hear the occasional rustling of clothes.

The other Xie Qiongning has completely stepped out of the shadows and entered the range of the light.

Like other buyers, it crowded closer to the central light source, seemingly wanting to continue the transaction of mathematics textbooks.

Feeling that she was getting closer and closer to death, Xie Qiongning felt very unwilling. She didn't want to die inexplicably like this!

But...this is the world now!

One full of danger! Full of opportunities! But it’s also a world full of despair!

Prosperity has always been just an appearance...

Viruses, infected people, darkness and death are the essence of this cruel world!

No……

In the digital world, there is no death, only the conversion between digits and digits...

Her energy, consciousness, memory, body...all these numbers will become part of this forest!

Thinking of this, Xie Qiongning sneered. She suddenly used her last strength and shouted into the darkness: Shen Sheng!

Are you still alive?!

Use...'digital domain' for me...

The further she went, the softer Xie Qiongning's voice became. By the last few words, her entire sentence was broken, and even the power to speak and breathe had completely disappeared.

During the whole process, the infected people and many buyers over there were still standing quietly, without even turning their heads to look at Xie Qiongning.

It's as if she is not a living person at all, just an insignificant doll costume...

The words fell, and there was no response in the darkness.

Xie Qiongning immediately understood that Shen Sheng had disappeared just now, and her current situation might be even worse than hers...

Thinking of this, she felt that her consciousness began to blur. Her body in the Cheetah doll costume began to wither little by little. Her limbs were like punctured balloons, rapidly collapsing, and the limbs of the doll costume immediately dropped down, and then Unable to support her torso, she pressed against the load-bearing pillar and slowly slid towards the ground.

Immediately afterwards, her torso also shrank, and her flesh, bones, internal organs...it was as if they had never existed.

I'm so unwilling...

Xie Qiongning said silently in her heart. At this moment, only the hood was left on her body. Her body and limbs had completely turned into a cheetah doll costume!

However, just when she thought she was about to be completely assimilated into the Digital Forest, a shiny black tentacle full of metallic texture suddenly extended quickly from the darkness!

The tentacle was huge in size. It clung to the ceiling. The entire movement was swift and strange, but silent. It was like a cold black liquid flowing rapidly, occupying the entire ceiling of this place in the blink of an eye.

The moment the tentacles appeared, Xie Qiongning's body immediately stopped drying up, and her consciousness suddenly recovered a lot. Before she could figure out what was going on, the whole building suddenly shook!

In an instant, the scene in front of Xie Qiongning suddenly changed. The pen and flashlight on the ground, the bright light, the infected person squeezed into the Big White Goose doll suit, the tentacles covering the ceiling... were still in place, without any change. However, Those buyers wearing various doll costumes, as well as another Xie Qiongning, seemed to disappear out of thin air, all without a trace!

Xie Qiongning felt that she had regained her strength instantly. She looked down and found that her body had returned to its original state. Everything she had just experienced seemed to be an illusion.

Roar!!!

At this time, the infected person squeezed into the Big White Goose doll costume turned around and let out an angry roar at the tentacles. Then, it lifted up a huge reinforced concrete floor and smashed towards the tentacles!

boom! ! !

The reinforced concrete floor was smashed to pieces, but not a single scratch was left on the tentacles.

And then the next moment...

boom!

The tentacles fell down instantly, then lifted up.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the infected person squeezed into the Big White Goose doll suit was beaten to pieces. Dark green liquid, mixed with metallic bone residue, seeped into the doll suit and flowed all over the floor.

There was a smell of rust in the air, without any fishy smell of flesh and blood.

Looking at this scene, Xie Qiongning immediately realized that the tentacle... was another infected person!

Moreover, the energy of this infected person is very terrifying!

The other party is competing for energy with this newly formed digital forest!

In an instant, she understood the reason why she had just saved her life... The Digital Forest was going to fight the infected and had no time to care about her!

Without any hesitation, Xie Qiongning immediately rushed towards the stairs.

※※※

The basement of Huangjia Club.

The smell of blood lingered in the darkness, dust was billowing, and above the head, countless rubbles fell, hitting the rough building with a crashing sound.

Zhou Zhen was lying on his back on the ground, and the little yellow duck doll suit next to him remained in the same position as he had just let go.

The large hole blasted out by the energy wave on the ceiling becomes larger and larger as you go up. In the center of the uneven reinforced concrete fracture layer, the night sky is deep, and the starlight is faint among the ostentatious space advertisements.

At this time, the hole in the ceiling of the underground floor suddenly began to squirm, as if a living thing was healing. The neatly burned wounds on the cave wall produced countless granulation-like substances. They grew little by little and continued to move closer to the center. Restore its original appearance.

Through the holes that have not been completely closed, we can see that the sixty-fourth floor of the Huangjia Club was unfinished. The holes on each floor, including the completely destroyed sixty-fourth floor, all gave birth to similar granulations, which began to rapidly recover!

At the same time, it was discovered that the floor slab did not hit Zhou Zhen to death. The Little Yellow Duck doll obeyed and picked up the wooden board with nails on it, adjusted the angle, and whipped it directly towards Zhou Zhen's eye socket!

Ding!

The wooden board's nails hit the cube so hard that the wooden board broke on the spot and the nails were ejected.

Zhou Zhen finally turned to look at the Little Yellow Duck doll suit, and the next moment...

boom! ! !

A shiny black tentacle full of metallic texture fell, and the Little Yellow Duck doll costume was instantly smashed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Zhen's whole body seemed to float away from gravity, and more and more spiritual tentacles protruded from his back.

The invisible force shook the void, and red and black energy cubes condensed in the air around Zhou Zhen's body.

These energy cubes emitted creepy and terrifying energy while suspended, filling all nearby spaces in an instant.

Suddenly, they exploded in all directions.

In an instant, the entire unfinished building was riddled with energy. The red and black brilliance was like thousands of lightsabers, poking countless holes in the reinforced concrete building!
