Chapter 638: A Deadly Fight in the Rain
Xu Huo had been heading for the reservoir on Wenshan Mountain. He hadn't expected to run into these people on the way.
The lowland at the foot of Wenshan Mountain was half water and half mud, and had once been covered in aquatic plants. From above, the water looked like it should be clean, but now the depression had turned into an ink-black pool. It looked as though the black rain had gathered there, but a closer look revealed that alongside the raindrops falling onto the water, some droplets were flying upward.
The air above the entire depression looked like warped space, with water both above and below. Then there were the dark clouds overhead. The answer was obvious: this was the source of the black rain!
Seeing that three of the numbers that had risen to "10" were moving toward him, he crushed out his cigarette butt and tossed it into the Storage Compartment, then turned and sprinted toward the woods behind him!
As he accelerated, the weight of the rain striking his body increased several times over. That was nothing to a Player wearing a Protective Suit, but just as Xu Huo was about to enter the woods, he abruptly stopped and held the Door of Severed Relations up in front of him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The raindrops, like bullets, slammed into the door. As soon as the noise died down, he braced one hand against the door and vaulted onto a tree. The door disappeared, and he jumped to the next tree.
The dense woods were a natural barrier. The thick leaves blocked some of the black rain, while the sturdy trunks stopped some of the raindrop bullets.
Behind him, three Players in itemized raincoats darted into the woods.
