Chapter 365 The Black Fog (1/2)

The Baiye District was like cancer spreading in the middle of the city, rotting, crumbling, revolting.

As time passed, the district began to look even more out of place in the midst of all the development going on around it, like an old-timer who could no longer keep up with the times.

An iridescent flow of sludge flowed down the drains next to the roads, carrying pieces of garbage along with it. A putrid stench permeated the air.

”Ever since the appearance of the spatial rift, the smell in the Baiye District has grown worse,” said a bespectacled civil servant in a worried tone.

”Worse how?” asked Gao Peng, who was looking around. He could feel that he was being watched through the cracks and windows on some of the buildings.

”It's just up ahead,” said the civil servant quietly.

Up ahead was a roadblock blocking the road beyond.

There were many soldiers who were armed to the teeth standing guard around the area, as well as a couple of trainers with their familiars.

Two of the familiars had their ears pricked up like radars, their huge, watery eyes alert to the slightest movement in their surroundings. Their slender bodies swayed about powerfully as they paced the area. At times, they would casually spit flames out of their mouths...

The soldiers saluted Gao Peng and his party as soon as they saw him.

Gao Peng made his way through three metal doors and two metal fences. Finally, they arrived at an unfinished building, or at least, that's what it seemed like to Gao Peng.

The building was completely enshrouded in a thick, black fog. The black fog roiled unsettlingly before them, at times showing a glimpse of the building behind it.

What appeared to be geckoes flitted through the black fog rapidly. Their limbs were slender like bamboo stalks, their movements agile.

Gao Peng narrowed his eyes at the geckoes. In an instant, rows of numbers appeared before him.

[Monster Name]: Black Jacket Gecko

[Monster Level]: Level 20

[Monster Grade]: Normal

[Monster Type]: Shadow

[Monster Ability]: Shadow Power Level 1

[Description]: A Black Jacket Gecko, as its name suggests, is usually clad in a black coat. It is capable of moving nimbly with its slender body. It loves to eat fresh meat.

”Did you see them? These creatures are the main inhabitants of the black fog. Guns and other modern weaponry that we have at our disposal don't seem to have any effect on them,” said the bespectacled man calmly, adjusting his spectacles slightly on his nose.

”I see,” said Gao Peng, nodding.

”And the spatial rift is here?”

”Yes, the black fog weakens greatly in the afternoon, when its diffusion rate is considerably suppressed. However, at night, it envelops the entire building, completely concealing it from sight.”

”I don't think there are any Lord-tier monsters inside,” said Gao Peng, putting a hand on Goldie beside him.

Goldie quacked in agreement. Its senses were now so keen that it could pick up any sign of danger from a mile away. If there was any danger inside the building, it would be the first to know.

Goldie turned around and saw the hand that Gao Peng had placed on its behind. It let out a small sigh, then placed a huge wing on Gao Peng's head.

Pat! Silly, who was sitting on Gao Peng's head, smacked Goldie's wing away. What's the big idea? No touchy!

Due to the height difference between Gao Peng and Goldie, the duck's buttocks were the only place Gao Peng could reach. Of course, he didn't mean anything by it.

”Goldie, go and take a look inside.”
