Chapter 1551 - 522: A Silent World and Cao Xing’s Exploration Method
In such a stifling atmosphere, the night was quite a torment for everyone.
Outside, there were constant crawling and banging noises, making it impossible for anyone to sleep peacefully.
This situation lasted for several hours.
Until six in the morning the next day, when the dawn’s light shone on the Earth.
The strange banging sounds gradually faded away…
[Attention survivors! You have passed the fifteenth day of the development period. The Chenmai Fog Disaster will continue to exist, please be prepared.]
[Today’s weather: Dense fog, with temperatures ranging from -58℃ to -63℃, not suitable for going out]
…
When the prompt appeared, many people in the chat channel, with their sleepy eyes, breathed a sigh of relief.
“Finally, it’s over… Luckily, we passed the night safely without any danger.”
“Damn, it was really torturous!”
“Don’t let your guard down, this fog will continue, we need to use the daytime to prepare.”
“That’s right! Everyone is safe as long as we don’t leave the territory during the day.”
For a while, the survivors all began to take action.
…
…
Upon seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing quickly pressed the communication device on his ear and asked.
“Report the numbers, is anyone missing?”
Upon hearing the voice, all the territory members responded one by one.
After confirming that everyone in the territory was present, Cao Xing also slightly relaxed.
Then, he ordered: “Alright, today will be the same as yesterday.”
“Those who need to work, work. Those who need to train, train.”
Hearing the order, all the staff got up and started following yesterday’s development rhythm.
After having breakfast in the cafeteria, the staff immediately began their day’s work.
Building walls, upgrading lighthouses.
The daytime quickly passed by.
At nightfall, the thick fog surged up again.
With the experience of the first night, the survivors closed the doors and windows tightly as soon as it got dark, entering a quiet state.
However, Cao Xing wanted to test what exactly the creatures in the fog were.
To reach this conclusion was quite simple, just send a friendly creature into the fog. If it died, the system prompt would reveal what was attacking it.
Of course, he certainly wouldn’t use the workers or combat personnel in the territory for experimentation.
He used his skill—Summon Frost Elf.
“Crack! Crack!”
The chill in the air was mobilized, and with a wave of Cao Xing’s magic wand, two summoned creatures roughly about a meter tall, constructed entirely of frost, appeared.
Then, controlled by him, the two Frost Elves quickly left the Lord Castle and walked towards the outskirts of the territory.
With his current spiritual power, Cao Xing could control these Frost Elves to move within a range of about two to three kilometers.
Soon, the two Frost Elves walked to the buffer zone on the outskirts of the territory.
While standing in the Lord Castle, Cao Xing heard the dense crawling sounds again and the ’buzzing’ of wings flapping.
The creatures in the fog began to move once more, swarming towards his territory.
However, Cao Xing heard those crawling noises climbing over the wall and appearing near the Lord Castle.
The Frost Elites outside seemed untouched, still standing intact in their original places.
“Hmm? Could it be that the creatures in the fog do not attack these summoned creatures?”
Just as he was feeling puzzled.
A barrage of combat information suddenly started flooding the screen!
[Your summon: Frost Elf was attacked by ’???’, receiving 178 damage]
[Your summon: Frost Elf was attacked by ’???’, receiving 185 damage]
[Your…]
…
At this moment, Cao Xing’s expression became extremely serious.
The damage numbers didn’t seem high.
However, what if you were told that thousands of such messages poured in, and thousands per second?
In less than two seconds, the two Frost Elves with a total of 1.2 million blood volume were reduced to a pile of ice fragments and vanished.
[Your summon: Frost Elf has died…]
…
Seeing the death notifications, Cao Xing couldn’t help but lament.
“It’s terrifying, a Frost Elf with 1.2 million blood volume couldn’t even last two seconds.”
“And the most critical thing is, up until now, we still don’t know what creatures are inside, this fog is really too bizarre.”
“It seems the system was right, it’s better not to go out rashly.”
Cao Xing didn’t continue probing further.
That night, everyone stayed obediently within the territory, and no one acted recklessly like the first day.
The next day…
As dawn broke, the dense fog was slightly dispersed.
Those unknown creatures also retreated.
Then, the same rhythm continued.
During the day, everyone stayed in the territory as much as possible to prepare.
Or trade resources with others to acquire some coal and wood.
And prepare supplies needed for the night in advance.
Then as soon as it got dark, everyone would immediately retreat to their rooms.
On the third day…
The fourth day…
The fifth day…
This fog disaster lasted a full seven days, with no sign of dissipating.
Until the nightfall on the seventh day.
Many survivors vented in the chat channel.
“Damn…this fog disaster is lasting too long! It’s been a week and there’s no sign of it dissipating.”
“Yeah, such a prolonged fog disaster is really testing our territory’s reserves.”
