Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"It shouldn't be. The weather is so good today and the moon is still in the sky. How could something happen?"

While rushing towards the city gate, Wang Hu muttered in his mouth.

"Ringing the bell means an enemy is coming?"

Beichen asked, while helping Wang Hu accelerate.

"Not only is there an enemy attack, but the bell has rung three times in a row, which shows that the situation outside is very dangerous, and it may even have entered the town."

Wang Hu was very scared. It had been more than five years since the last time this happened, and that time alone cost the town nearly a hundred workers.

There were even monsters that rushed into the city and hid in the shadows and abducted many women and children. As for why they were said to be abducted, it may be because some people still believed that they were alive, but in fact they had completely disappeared.

It was not until morning that the storm gradually subsided.

Except for the broken gate and the incomplete city wall, no other traces were left, and those who disappeared were never seen again.

Wang Hu was a witness to that disaster.

He actually lied. He may be the only person who has seen the monster, and he also knows what happened to those who disappeared.

He was the only one left in the patrol team at that time.

Because the torch couldn't be lit for a long time because it was damp, the captain asked him to go to the warehouse to get a new batch.

If he hadn't lit a torch on the way back, he would have encountered someone else.

When he saw that the torches on the city wall were extinguished some distance away, he felt something was wrong, because the agreed meeting point was where the torches were extinguished.

Everyone here knows that being in a dark place at night is tantamount to courting death.

He walked tremblingly into the darkness, holding the torch in his hand high. He was even afraid that he lit all the torches in his hand, even though the high temperature made his skin blistered and unbearable.

Only in that moment did he see the captain of the patrol team lying on the ground and the black creature on his body.

The monster seemed to be aware of him, or perhaps it was aware of the unpleasant light emitted by the torch in his hand. It turned its head and glanced at Wang Hu with its single blood-red eye.

In an instant, the monster disappeared.

Wang Hu suppressed the fear in his heart and brought the torch close to the captain's body.

Bang, the torch fell to the ground. He reacted quickly, perhaps out of his instinct to survive, and he grabbed the torch from the ground.

Holding the torch, he ran towards his home desperately. The bell rang, but he still did not stop his pace. He finally returned home, lit a fire, and threw everything that could burn into it desperately. Throwing it away might as well have set the house on fire.

Until the bright light from the burning burned his eyes.

The chaos outside only made him throw more burnt things into the fire until the sun rose again.

It was a body that seemed to have been corroded, and the black viscous liquid was squirming and gnawing at the captain's body.

Deep wounds to the bones were visible, and internal organs could even be seen through the mutilated body.

The most important thing is that the captain was still alive at that time. His eyes turned and looked at Wang Hu's position. His mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything.

Afterwards, Wang Hu inquired about it and went to look at the city wall. There was nothing there, as if what happened that night was just a dream.

But the person did disappear. Wang Hu hoped that he was just dazzled that day.

But reason told him that that was impossible, and what he saw was true.

The torches went out for unknown reasons, the incomplete city walls, and...the monster that was not so afraid of light, and the bizarre way of death.

He had been investigating these things for five years and found nothing.

And today, it may be a repeat of what happened five years ago.

He also told a few people about this, but others only thought he was joking, and more people thought he was crazy.

Soon, several people arrived near the city gate. There was a banging sound at the city gate. Someone lit a torch and threw it towards the city gate, and then they were dispersed.

The entire city wall was covered with torches, bright as day, and it seemed that the monsters had been suppressed.

Wang Hu hurriedly ran down the stairs to the city wall, and Beichen and Nian followed.

"I saw it, I saw it! The black shadow was shining with red light!"

A man who was guarding the city was covering his head and sitting slumped against the wall, talking incessantly.

"Are those monsters up?"

Wang Hu asked anxiously.

"Coming up, they are rushing up! Directly from the city wall! Someone has been captured..."

"hateful!"

Wang Hu looked at the panicked people standing on the city wall. They would just light the torches and throw them down the city wall.

This seemed to put them at ease a bit.

Such a waste of torches won't make it through the morning!

Wang Hu quickly discovered this problem.

He hurriedly lit the torch in his hand, carefully stuck his head out, and looked under the city wall.

Sure enough, it was the same monster as the one he saw that day, with a pitch-black body and only one eye, and the strange eye was still shining with red light.

Bei Chen also stuck his head out and took a curious look.

"Tsk, they look weird and disgusting."

Beichen commented.

"How could it be? Aren't they afraid of light? The moon is still bright outside!"

Wang Hu looked at the moon hanging in the sky with some confusion.

In the distance, there are more monsters heading towards the town, which are particularly eye-catching under the moonlight.

Seeing this scene, even Wang Hu, who had already had a premonition of the attack of this kind of monster, kept shaking his hands, and the torch fell to the ground with a clatter.

"It's over. It's definitely unstoppable. This time it's even scarier than last time."

Wang Hu was a little desperate, but he still picked up the torch and ran towards the place where there was no light.

No one knew that this sudden attack was caused by the arrival of Beichen and Nian.

Of course, this must be strange.

"So what now, give them a hand?"

Beichen looked at Xiang Nian and asked.

"Hmm, of course it depends on you."

Nian doesn't really care about this. After all, it's all fake and not worth her trouble. If it's true, maybe she will help.

"If nothing else, let's catch one and take a look."

As soon as Beichen grabbed it, a monster rose into the air from the foot of the city and flew in front of him.

"Hey, this thing gets even more disgusting when you get closer."

Beichen threw this thing on the ground with a look of disgust on his face, not even willing to reach out and touch it.

It's a soft-bodied creature like a slime, and its red eye can even move around its body, which is particularly scary.
