Global Fog Survival

After a brief chat, Colin learned that they could transport the cannon barrels by tomorrow morning. Although they could send them now, they preferred to carefully inspect the design plans tonight to be safe.

Using Fog Points could allow the system to optimize the original design, but people generally didn’t trust the system much. They would use the optimization feature but not rely entirely on it. Anything that could be solved independently would be handled that way.

Colin then confirmed that there were no major issues with the other arrangements and opened other chat channels as part of his daily routine.

Remaining members in the regional channel: 397.

“Not bad, not many deaths today.”

Compared to the first day’s massive deaths, the mortality rate had finally stabilized over the following days. However, Colin’s expression turned strange as he read the chat logs on the regional channel.

“Come on, everyone, let’s complete the global quest!”

“Joining Colin’s camp is good for survival, but do you want to live under someone else’s roof forever?”

“You’re scared? Who the hell isn’t? But if we don’t work hard now, we won’t keep up with the times, and we’ll be left to die.”

“Did you see those who handed over their scrolls today? They don’t have a future.”

“Charge! Fight to the death! Only by doing this can we secure a future with our own hands.”

“I’ve already put my life on the line. Whether before or after the crossing, I’ve got nothing to lose. If I die, so be it. Better than a coward’s death; I’ve had enough.”

At this point, someone else chimed in: “Wow, I’m fired up! Bro, what level is your territory? I want to fight alongside you.”

“Level 1.”

A moment of silence.

“… I thought it over and decided to hand over my scroll to Colin. I heard two people’s territories were upgraded to war chariots today. Although they lost ownership, they still have usage rights.”

“+1.”

“Me too. Why struggle alone when you can take it easy?”

“Bro, go fight by yourself. Handle your own business.”

“In a normal group, 90% are useless. If there are so many useless people, why can’t I be one of them?”

“The guy above has a point!”

“Right, we’re useless!”

“You call this living on your knees?”

“Living on your knees? Many people wish for that chance.”

“Are you joking? Colin is the regional overlord now, with cannons, war chariots, level 3 territory, and over a thousand people. What are you fighting for? It’s merciful he hasn’t stripped you of everything.”

“Wait, damn, this guy’s a spy. He heard there’s a war chariot expansion plan tomorrow and is tricking us into fighting to reduce competition. He plans to hand over his three-core set.”

“Really, this guy stopped talking!”

“Damn it, we’ve been fooled. Even being a bum has competition these days?”

“Are these people serious?” Colin shook his head with a smile. He skimmed through and then opened the world channel, which was flashing even more frequently.

Compared to the scheming in the regional channel, the world channel’s content was much purer at this moment.

Pure nonsense.

“Guys, I explored 0.1% of the fog alone today. Am I awesome or what?”

“Awesome, awesome, jealous of those with vehicles.”

“Fog exploration progress reached 6%. Keep it up; we might finish the first phase of the global mission by tomorrow or the day after!”

“I wonder what the armband effect will be, looking forward to it.”

“It probably won’t be too strong, just some auxiliary item, but better than nothing.”

“Brothers, be careful exploring. Do your best.”

As night approached, the chat was filled with nonsense and blessings. The outside world was already oppressive enough; this was a time to relax. Moreover, they were using the daily world speaker (post) not to waste it.

While Colin enjoyed the jokes, he suddenly felt a chill.

Night had fallen.

At the same time, he felt a momentary daze, but the burning pain in his arm snapped him back to reality. He instinctively grabbed an axe and hurled it at a shadow beside Colin, hitting a forming monstrous entity. The eerie scream abruptly ended, stopping the split.

“It looks like we won’t be getting much rest tonight,” Colin muttered. After confirming the headcount with the hint, he looked up at the sky. The atmosphere was oppressive and dark. When night fell, this “underground” space became eerily silent.

【You realize that perhaps in this space, night is safer.】

“Safer at night?”

Colin hadn’t expected such a hint. He could only shake his head helplessly. Regardless, they needed to rest first. They could test it later in the night.

Just as he was about to put away the scroll and rest, a message caught his attention.

“Help! Help! Something is banging on my door! The door can’t hold much longer! Help!”

Everyone who saw this message couldn’t help but hold their breath. They quickly responded.

“What happened? What’s banging on your door?”

“Is this a joke? This isn’t funny. Don’t joke about life and death. At least finish your sentence.”

“Could he be dead?”

“Stop talking nonsense. I’ll open my door to check. My level 2 territory should be safe.”

“Bro, don’t court death.”

Despite the warnings, everyone, including Colin, awaited his response. Generally, opening the door at night was a big no-no. Especially after the horrifying countdown, no one dared open the door at night, not even Colin.

Less than thirty seconds later, the reply sent chills through everyone.

“Don’t open the door! Don’t open the door! My yard is overrun! Something is banging on my door and windows. Damn it.”

“Bro, finish your sentences!”

“It’s over. I’m still in a wooden hut, not even level 2.”

Panic spread rapidly. The message quickly became the hot topic, casting a heavy atmosphere over the chat channel.

At that moment, the person spoke again.

“I’m alive! I’m alive! I lit the lantern and was saved. Those with banging doors, light your lanterns! Use ‘Rare Tainted Blood,’ the higher the blood level, the better!”

“Only the light from rare blood can stop it! And if a non-level 2 territory is targeted, there’s almost no hope! Lighting the lantern weakens it.”

“What do we do? We can’t upgrade now.”

“I don’t have money.”
