I Have a City in a Different World

Chapter 475 Taboo in the Dark

The night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

The various gathering places in the Lost City no longer saw people coming and going, as if they were frozen by the severe cold air.

The appearance is not much different from the nearby ruins, and it has even been deliberately aged.

The usual routes in and out are now blocked, and all traces of walking have been erased.

Various items placed outdoors were moved inside the house as much as possible, or buried deeply with snow.

In the coming period, the outdoors will be a restricted area for the lost, while indoors and underground will be the main areas of activity.

Around each gathering place, several special sentries will be set up to blend in with the environment.

Most sentries of this type are connected indoors and have extremely hidden peepholes.

The peephole is specially designed to block the spread of heat and breath, so as not to attract the attention of monsters.

Once locked by a monster, attacks will follow.

When darkness envelopes everything, all kinds of weird sounds sound, making people feel creepy.

After several days and nights, the experienced lost people all had nervous expressions on their faces.

They knew very well that when the earth was swallowed by darkness, it meant that flying monsters from outside the city were about to appear.

If someone could see through the darkness, they would be able to see strange black clouds gathering and squirming in the distant sky.

Those were not clouds, but countless monsters, rushing toward the Lost City.

They flew over the ruins of the city and over the snow-covered streets, their scarlet eyes constantly scanning the ground.

Once a living being is discovered, whether it is a monster or a lost person, they will attack without hesitation.

In the eyes of the lost, they are all monsters, but in the eyes of the flying monsters, all other monsters and the lost are food.

A huge monster with a body length of seven or eight meters was attacked by the flying monster at this moment.

Because of its greed for food, it delayed returning to its lair and was discovered by a flying monster.

With screams, a hunt officially begins, and countless flying monsters swarm in.

The body of the flying monster is similar to that of a yaksha, but it has an ugly bird head like a vulture, and has two rows of upward-facing eight-shaped eyes, totaling twelve in total.

They surround their prey and continuously attack, tearing off the opponent's flesh and blood.

But in the blink of an eye, the giant beast was covered in cuts and bruises, and all the white bones and internal organs could be seen.

The flying monsters tasted flesh and blood and became even crazier, launching attacks without fear of death.

With a cry, the giant monster collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times and then lost its voice.

The flying monsters swarmed up and surrounded the giant beast. When they finally dispersed, only a pile of pale skeletons were left on the ground.

The fed flying monster hangs its body on walls and trees, hanging upside down like a bat to rest.

More flying monsters are wandering around the city, looking for prey that can fill their stomachs.

They are extremely hungry and will go crazy when they see flesh and blood, eating it at all costs.

For this feast, the flying monsters have been waiting for a very long time. Before the polar night arrives, they have been hiding in dark underground caves, waiting for the moment when the polar day ends.

When darkness finally fell, the flying monsters rushed out of the crypt to vent their long-suppressed bloodthirst and hunger.

The terrible desire to destroy everything, to destroy everything, drives them to wanton destruction.

The targets of flying monsters are by no means limited to city monsters, the lost ones are the most popular food.

They are looking for traces of gathering places in the dark city, and are constantly hovering in the sky.

Once it finds traces of living creatures, it will immediately pounce down from the sky and tear the prey into pieces.

If no target is found, they will stay near the gathering place and wait for the opportunity for prey to appear.

When the flying monster is in a stationary state, it can perfectly hide itself and blend in with the surrounding environment.

Silent hunting often takes a long time.

The flying monster's endurance ability is indeed extremely powerful. It can even persist for more than a month in a freezing cold environment.

Once the hunt is successful, it can persist for a long time.

Relying on this ability to survive, they can persist in the dark underground caves until the next hunting season.

Being targeted by such a perverted hunter is indeed an extremely terrifying thing. If you are not as patient as the other person, sooner or later you will fall into the other person's prey.

If you want to avoid this kind of hunting, you have to be more patient than the monster, so as to get a chance to survive.

The lost people who have never experienced danger do not know the horror of flying monsters. If they fail to get warning or do not have enough awareness of the danger, there is a high chance of losing their lives.

In order to prevent this from happening, the gathering place will establish a strict entry and exit system, and severe punishment will often be given to the lost people who enter and leave the gathering place without permission.

It doesn't matter if you seek death yourself, but you can't implicate others. If the flying monster determines that there are more lost people in the gathering place, terrible containment behavior will often occur.

In the dark corners, there are countless monsters peeping, waiting for the opportunity to break in.

One thing must be clear, flying monsters are not only capable of flying, they can also hunt on the ground.

The huge periosteum used for flight can be folded up to ensure that movement on the ground is not affected.

They look like aliens, with strong bodies and sharp claws, and can easily kill their targets.

The hungry flying monster will take the initiative to land on the ground and launch attacks from the entrance.

Those gathering places that failed to survive the polar night and where almost no one survived were basically destroyed by this type of ground attack.

Experienced gathering place managers will learn lessons from this and will not allow similar mistakes to happen.

Everyone knows the rules, and there is never a shortage of safety education work, but accidents still happen frequently.

This situation occurs due to the special environment of the Lost City.

Being in a dark environment, slowly enduring cold and hunger, and suffering constant pain is a terrible torture.

There are often lost people who cannot bear the torture and go crazy, or do some dangerous things.

There is another state that is more terrifying than having a mental breakdown and going crazy.

As the darkness of the polar night falls, a demonic whisper will appear, ringing in the ears of some lost people from time to time.

The elusive whispers of demons are extremely tempting, and will gradually affect the lost, and eventually become demonized people driven by bewitchment.

The devil's whisper's method of persuasion is not just a matter of words, but will provide substantial benefits.

For example, provide a portion of food to a hungry person, and then use more food as bait.

Help the seriously ill and dying people avoid suffering from illness and give them a short-term healthy experience.

No matter whether you are greedy for money, lustful, or obsessed with power, as long as you hear the whispers of the devil and are willing to actively cooperate, you can get certain benefits.

Before you get the benefits, you may still have the courage to refuse, but once you taste the benefits, you really can't stop.

The lost are too poor, they have no past, cannot see the future, and have little ability to resist temptation.

Once targeted by demons, most of them will not end well.

In order to screen out demonized people, cognitive tests will be carried out at the gathering place at regular intervals.

It is difficult for a severely demonized lost person to pass such a test, and they will basically be exposed once or twice.

The treatment of demonized ones is mostly simple and crude, either killing them directly or serving as bait for hunting monsters.

Not everyone can enjoy the special treatment of being imprisoned for observation and treatment.

There are also some demonizers who hide deeper and are often able to escape screening.

This kind of demonizer is the most dangerous, and once it breaks out completely, it will inevitably cause terrible disasters.
