The players obediently threw the gloves over and a draft of pungent smell followed. It was such a toxic fume that it caused Liu Gan to be dizzy. Liu Gan quickly retreated several meters back, then signaled for Yin He to investigate. It was to see whether she had any information in her database to find out the composition in the substance.
Yin He carefully walked over, and after a quick sniff, she stretched out her hand toward the glove to gently graze it. She immediately retracted her hand after a brief moment of contact. It was enough to burn her fingerprint even though she came into contact with minute amounts of the black substance!
“Not sure what this substance is. My skin was created to withstand degradation from strong acids and bases, but this substance was able to easily erode through.” Yin He whispered into Liu Gan’s ear.
“Will your hand have any problems?” Liu Gan looked at the acid-burned scar that was left behind.
“No, the nanobots within my body will slowly repair the damaged parts.” Yin He answered Liu Gan.
“Is there anyone here that learned chemistry? Does anyone know what this strong, pungent smell is and its chemical property? Is it acidic or basic? Or does anyone know what this material might be?” Liu Gan loudly asked everyone around him.
“Even though I'm not a chemist, I do know that even the strongest acid or base wouldn't have such a fast corrosive property. Seems like anything it touches will deteriorate! It is really hard to believe!” Said a player after he surveyed the situation.
Without asking any more questions, Liu Gan climbed up the suspension cables all the way to the top and proceeded towards the source of the black substance...
After climbing high up, his enhanced vision detected something strange in the distance.
Right at the adjoining land near the edge of the bridge appeared a creature that was at least two or three meters tall. Its whole body was covered in a gray color. It looked like a gigantic toad, but it only had two legs. Protecting its body was a dark-gray, bony outer shell. The way its legs were separated didn't resemble a toad at all! It looked more like a clam shell, since it wasn't moving at all and its color was gray. It looked like it was trying to camouflage itself as a large rock. If people weren't looking carefully, they wouldn't suspect it.
The corrosive substance was found from that general direction, so it was highly suspicious. Aside from that, there were only regular zombies in the area by the end of the bridge. so there were no other suspects!
That nineteen-year-old player that had panicked and ran off alone clearly couldn't see what was ahead of him because of the cars that blocked his field of vision. Aside from that, he ran really fast and wasn't paying attention.
Even if it were to attack, the distance was absurd. From where they stood, the path to getting off the bridge led down towards the junction, but the distance was at least fifty meters away from where the players had been hurt! This creature’s attack range was so far away and the black substance was able to overcome the strongest of obstacles. This creature was blocking the path that everyone needed to cross. What a troublesome problem.
