[West Pavilion Gardener]

--The number of Monster following behind was increasing.

Even though Liu Shanchun was consciously trying to find sparsely populated areas, he lived in a city, not some small mountain village. How few people could there be?

Even more terrifyingly, Liu Shanchun discovered that those Monster actually possessed a certain degree of intelligence. After experiencing the benefits of copy themselves, they began hunting in batches, one by one.

No one knows what these Monsters are. They can climb walls at will and their Strength far exceeds that of ordinary people.

Like a swarm of spiders scattering, they dispersed and disappeared into the surrounding high-rise buildings, or smashed windows and climbed into residential buildings, or knocked on doors to lure the residents out...

The screams of women, the roars of men, the cries of children... the entire neighborhood was instantly transformed into Hell on Earth.

However, these are not the most terrifying aspects of those Monsters. What makes Monster truly terrifying is their astonishing Assimilation Ability.

Any human who comes into contact with the Monster will be irresistibly transformed into one of these Monster within a few seconds to a minute, thus joining their ranks as a so-called Hunter.

--Viral spread!!

When Liu Shanchun ran down to the bottom of the residential area, it had become completely silent behind her. However, from time to time, dozens of Black Shadow would dart past amidst the Lights reflected from the windows or the glow of the streetlights.

Compared to the so-called Zombie Virus, this Monster, which can continuously copy and multiply itself and possesses a certain degree of intelligence, is clearly more terrifying.

After infecting everyone in the entire neighborhood, the countless Monsters that had been climbing on streetlights, walls, bushes, cars, and under cars did not seem to be swarming out of the neighborhood to hunt elsewhere. Instead, they surrounded Liu Shanchun under the streetlights.

Gone was the ferocity they had displayed when chasing him and trying to kill him. Instead, they collectively surrounded him, slowly approaching him, like the calm before a storm.

--A storm is brewing!!

"..."

Watching those who were once fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters in the same neighborhood turn into these ugly Monster slowly approaching him, Liu Shanchun couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.

--Completely out of control!!!

From the moment he first saw the Monster break through the window and instinctively turned to run away, everything spiraled out of control and teetered on the brink of chaos.

Even if he didn't know why his physical abilities were so amazing, being surrounded by hundreds of Monsters, especially since they had the ability to assimilate him, meant his fate was practically sealed.

At that moment, a family of three walked in from the entrance of the residential area, chatting and laughing.

Liu Shanchun's pupils contracted sharply. Just as he was about to shout a warning, several black Shadow descended from the sky, knocking the family of three, who were still unaware of what was happening, to the ground.

A moment later, three more Monster appeared among the hundreds surrounding him.

"..."

Just as the man, standing silently in place, was about to be torn to pieces by the hundreds of Monsters, a melodious song suddenly drifted over from somewhere...

On a Luxury Yacht that is constantly belching smoke on the Vast Ocean.

Countless bats flew out of the cabin and spontaneously gathered on the deck, transforming into the figure of a Blond Young Man.

"We haven't found any other Teammate, we can't contact the system, and we can't even bring up the System Interface... Is this what they call an Unknown Level Dungeon with a 0% Survival Rate? It can even seal Player's memories..."

Looking back at the cabin behind him, West Pavilion Gardener couldn't help but show a hint of lingering fear on his face.

Previously, he had just experienced a thrilling and luxurious feast on a Yacht belonging to Monster. Passenger like him who were invited aboard the Yacht were actually the Monster's chosen delicacies.

If it weren't for the fact that his memories as Player automatically resurfaced at a crucial moment, allowing him to regain his strength, he would probably have been killed by those Monsters in the ship's cabin.

Recalling the terrifying moment earlier, West Pavilion Gardener still looked shaken.

Although he possessed many Trump Cards, with all his previous memories sealed away, being killed meant he was truly dead, and that kind of death was incredibly frustrating.

Although he regained his strength in time, it was too late. At this moment, there were no living people left on the Yacht; only the Man-eating Monster remained.

Although the Man-eating Monster couldn't harm him, they were also impossible to kill. He didn't know if some special ritual was needed to eliminate them, so he had no choice but to retreat temporarily.

But the problem is... what about his Teammate?

Looking at the vast sea before him, West Pavilion Gardener fell into deep thought.

He had already inspected the Yacht and found no one he knew, only the Monster. Those Monster were still constantly resurrecting, and he didn't intend to waste any more time and energy until he found a way to completely eliminate them.

"... Were all the Player' memories sealed, and then they were separated into different corners of the world?"

West Pavilion Gardener let out a slight breath.

Actually, none of these things are necessary. The key point is that, since they can't even bring up the System Interface, they don't even know what the mission in this Dungeon is.

What exactly do these Player need to do to be considered to have completely Walkthrough this Dungeon on m. hetushu. com. com?

Annihilation Anomaly? Exploration World? Or something else entirely?

... I had absolutely no clue what to do.

And the Danger Level here...

Perhaps recalling the perilous moment when his life hung by a thread, a shadow of gloom rose in West Pavilion Gardener's heart.

What he just experienced was definitely the biggest crisis he had ever faced since becoming Player; he almost died a pathetic death there.

If even I am like this, what about everyone else?

Of the ten Current Stage -Top Player who entered this Dungeon together, how many have died so far?

"I need to find the other Player as soon as possible, but apart from Black&White, I don't know what the others look like at all... Have they been resurrected?"

Looking back at the cabin behind him, which was gradually starting to show signs of movement again, West Pavilion Gardener frowned slightly.

But before he could make a move, a melodious tune suddenly drifted from the distant horizon...
