Chapter 437: It’s morning

He observed for a period, but found no clue as to why these animals had transformed into such a state.

Seeing that he couldn’t find the reason, Liang Yu gave up on wasting time there; it was completely meaningless.

Early the next morning, it was already seven o’clock. Some people were still immersed in sweet dreams, while others were woken up by the alarm clock, stretching and getting ready to welcome a beautiful day.

Liang Yu was the one woken by the alarm clock. He usually slept until he woke naturally, but he had specifically set an alarm to check the situation in the morning.

When he pulled open the curtains of his room inside the vehicle, the morning sun did not stream into the room as expected; the world before his eyes was, surprisingly, pitch black.

“Ah~~~~”

Liang Yu, letting out a yawn, wondered if he hadn’t fully woken up, or if he had opened the curtains incorrectly.

So he pulled the curtains shut again, silently counted to three, and then decisively pulled them open.

The scene outside hadn’t changed at all; it was still a vast expanse of darkness.

Outside, it was like an endless black curtain, heavily pressing down on the earth, with the scene of night enveloping all things in the world.

The darkness was like a surging tide, filling every corner without a single gap, devouring all vitality and hope.

At this moment, there was no light; everything was completely buried by darkness.

When Liang Yu walked to the window again, opened the car window, and stuck his head out to look up at the sky, it was even darker and more profound than before.

Even though it was morning now, it felt much darker than usual at night; there were no stars or moon visible in the sky, not a single glimmer of light—it could be described as so dark you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face.

At this point, he also noticed that a lot of hazy gray mist had appeared outside, and because of this gray mist, visibility was severely obstructed.

At this moment, the versatile Mario appeared. After receiving Liang Yu’s command, he took some lighting tools and walked alone into the darkness.

Soon, Liang Yu’s test on the impact of darkness and gray mist on light propagation officially began.

Outside the RV, Mario was already a considerable distance away.

At this moment, Mario was like a meticulous magician, constantly changing various tools.

The instrument in his hand flickered with a faint light, appearing exceptionally mysterious in the darkness.

Mario first took out a small glowing device, carefully adjusting its angle, and recording the light’s propagation path and intensity changes in the mist.

Immediately after, he switched to different power light sources, carefully observing their performance in the intertwining environment of darkness and mist.

With every tool change, every subtle operation, he was meticulous, his eyes revealing a dedication and love for scientific exploration.

As time passed, his mind was gradually filled with dense data and annotations, all of which were the valuable fruits of his labor.

At the same time, after Mario finished testing outside, he performed the same operation again in a dark, spacious room inside the RV.

After uploading the two sets of data, the results of the analysis and comparison by the big data system soon reached Liang Yu.

After reading the analysis report, Liang Yu knew that things were not that simple.

Just taking the results of the report analysis, under normal circumstances, light sources radiate within five meters, but once outside, the range is only three meters, meaning the illuminated area is greatly reduced.

All light sources were weakened to varying degrees. Liang Yu frowned, realizing the immense danger hidden behind this darkness and mist.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside the RV. Liang Yu’s heart tightened, and he quickly grabbed his weapon and went to the RV’s window.

He saw a group of distorted monsters in the darkness approaching the RV. They emitted an eerie aura around them, seemingly blending with the darkness and mist.

Liang Yu decisively turned on all the RV’s lights, and the brightness was exceptionally striking in the darkness.

After the lights came on, the group of monsters seemed to have a clear avoidance reaction to the light source and quickly disappeared from around the RV.

He understood; this darkness and mist not only affected light sources, but also contained unknown monsters that would attack people in the dark.

It now seemed that outside the RV was no longer safe. Without continuous light, it would be very easy for those monsters to attack.

At the same time, Liang Yu’s intuition told him that those monsters had not left; after being driven away by the light, they had hidden nearby.

As soon as the RV’s lights disappeared, they would immediately surround it and attack the people inside. Liang Yu was very certain that, for some unknown reason, he had been targeted by them.

However, waiting idly was not Liang Yu’s style. Since the other party had targeted him, he should treat them well.

Just as he thought of this, Liang Yu suddenly realized something he had forgotten.

He quickly ordered all the RV’s windows to be closed and checked if any of the monsters from the mist had entered the vehicle.

Ten minutes later, the vehicle’s self-inspection was complete, and the situation Liang Yu had imagined did not occur; no other creatures had entered the vehicle.

At this point, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, then he turned his gaze to the hazy gray mist outside the window.

He stood alone, quietly watching the mist outside the window, his thoughts simple and firm: to clear out all the monsters in the vicinity.

Liang Yu’s gaze was sharp, and he calmly contemplated a countermeasure.

Regarding the weapons to be used to eliminate the monsters, he had already made a decision.

Based on their previous behavior, the monsters were naturally afraid of light, especially strong light, as if it were their inherent nemesis, and flashbangs or light-burst grenades were the key to breaking the deadlock.

However, this was just his speculation, so before implementing it, he needed to test whether one of the two, a flashbang or a light-burst grenade, could eliminate the monsters in the mist.

If it couldn’t eliminate the monsters in the mist, then all his subsequent plans would be in vain.

Thus, the next action followed: Liang Yu had Mario prepare flashbangs and light-burst grenades, while he himself stayed hidden in the RV.

He sent the diligent Mario, equipped with weapons and ammunition, alone into the darkness outside to prove the feasibility of Liang Yu’s idea.

Once Mario was ready, he carefully opened the car door. After confirming that the area around the RV was safe, he stepped out and entered the darkness permeated with gray mist.

Just a few steps into the darkness, the monsters seemed to sense the movement and rushed towards Mario’s location.

Mario decisively threw a flashbang. A powerful flash instantly exploded in the darkness, and in that moment, the light dispelled all the surrounding darkness.
