Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 1 Entry: Murderer!
"57..."

"58..."

"59..."

"..."

In the pitch-black room, a figure was lying on the ground, doing sit-ups with difficulty.

Sweat soaked his dirty and torn clothes, flowed down his thin and dark body, and fell on the tattered bedding.

"Wuwuwu..." A sad and hoarse cry sounded outside, spreading throughout the entire apartment building. The apartment building was empty and seemed a little weird.

"67..."

"68..."

"69..."

"Dong dong dong..."

"Su Ding, are you in the room?" The door was suddenly knocked, and a soft woman's voice came from outside.

"70..."

"71..."

"72..."

"..."

In the room, the thin figure showed no reaction to the noise outside. He was still curled up, doing sit-ups with difficulty.

"Damn it! Su Ding! Open the door, I know you are in there!!! Don't hide in there without making any noise!!! Open the door!!!" The door was slammed, and wood chips fell from the old door, as if it was about to be scrapped at any time.

"81..."

"82..."

"83..."

"..."

The figure in the room remained unmoved, mumbling a number, holding his head and curling up his body.

However, his eyes became brighter and brighter in the darkness.

"Su Ding, please help him, he is about to die..." There were wailing sounds outside, the voice was sad.

"Mom...will Brother Su Ding save me?" a child's voice sounded.

"98..."

Su Ding curled up his body, veins on his forehead were exposed, and his face looked a little ferocious because of the force he exerted.

"99..."

He gritted his teeth, stared straight ahead with bloodshot eyes, curled up his abdomen, sweat flowed down his forehead and slid into his eyes, but he didn't blink and continued to do standard sit-ups.

"100!!!"

A hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat, his body trembled wildly, and he used the last bit of strength he could squeeze out to complete the last sit-up.

After finishing the last sit-up, Su Ding suddenly relaxed and collapsed on the worn quilt. Sweat oozed out of his body like water.

The soreness in his stomach came like waves of tides, almost making him faint.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the mission - do one hundred standard sit-ups in a row to obtain an entry."

"[Villain]: Everyone has a beast inside them. When it's unleashed, it'll scare everyone. Meow! Effect: Increases Strength by 20%, decreases Sanity by 30%."

A piece of information appeared in Su Ding's mind, making him more aware.

"Buzz buzz buzz..." At this moment, the alarm clock beside him suddenly vibrated.

At this time, the rustling sounds outside also disappeared.

The sky was no longer pitch dark, and some things could be vaguely seen.

Su Ding pressed the alarm clock and looked at the time.

The alarm clock in his hand was very strange. There were no Arabic numerals on the dial. Instead, the dial was divided into four parts with words written on them.

They are dark night, dawn, daylight and dusk.

Dark night takes up half of the disk, with a twelve-hour period marked in black. Dawn and dusk, located before and after dark night, each take up a five-hour period, colored purple and orange, respectively.

Daylight, on the other hand, only occupies a two-hour area and is white.

"Huh..." Su Ding let out a breath softly, rubbing his sore and swollen abdomen, with a complicated look in his eyes.

It has been half a month since he was reborn into this world.

And the past half month has been like a nightmare to him.

In this world, not only is the daylight only two hours long, but in the dark night, all kinds of strange monsters will appear.

There's a cat-faced old lady who eats children, an old dog who knocks on doors to scam people, and a shadow ghost who likes to tear off people's skin...

Each one of them is a huge threat to ordinary people.

In addition, there are problems such as food shortages and backward productivity caused by lack of sunlight.

Compared to this world, the Earth where he originally lived was like a fairyland.

"Knock knock knock..." At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Su Ding remained silent.

Although it is already dawn and some monsters have disappeared, there are still some monsters that exist.

Only during daylight hours, when all evils are warded off, can we be truly safe.

"Knock! Knock, knock, knock!" Then, there were two quick knocks on the door, and then three slow knocks.

Hearing the knock on the door, Su Ding's eyes moved slightly. He immediately stood up, walked towards the door and opened it.

"Are you ready?" A middle-aged man with a beard stood outside the door and asked immediately when he saw him.

Because the temperature was too low, white mist was emitted as he spoke, evaporating in the air.

"Well, I'm ready." Su Ding nodded, picked up a worn cotton jacket from the side of the door and put it on, then picked up a worn backpack and put it on his back.

"Okay, let's go call other people." The bearded man nodded slightly.

Then, Su Ding went out and followed the bearded man.

"Wuwuwu..." At this moment, a crying voice came from downstairs.

Su Ding paused.

"It's not a monster." Seeing his expression, the bearded man said calmly, "It's Boss Zhang and his family downstairs. The old man died in the dark night."

"Dead?" Su Ding paused.

Boss Zhang’s father was also an old man living here. How could he have died in the dark night?
And he has a large family at home.

"The old man broke his leg yesterday..." The bearded man had a mysterious look on his face.

After hearing his words, Su Ding immediately understood something.

The two continued walking around the apartment and knocked on four doors in succession. Their knocking movements were the same as before, knocking quickly for a while, then knocking twice quickly and then slowly.

They had two more men and two more women.

The four of them were a little thin, similar to Su Ding, almost skin and bones.

"Everyone is here, and I have to be frank. What we are doing is extremely dangerous. If you act recklessly, not only will you lose your life, but it will also affect those around you.

If you can't do it, then quit early. Otherwise, if you cause trouble later, don't blame me for being ruthless." The bearded man glanced at the five people and said coldly, "Also, you must give me 30% of the black crystals you find. If you can't accept it, you can go scavenging on your own."

"I have no objection." Su Ding said calmly.

The others looked at each other, then nodded.

The bearded man looked at Su Ding again, then nodded slightly and led everyone downstairs.

As they went down, many eyes in the apartment were staring at their backs.

"Are they going to look for Black Crystal? Should we go with them?" Someone was eager to try.

"Why go? There are a lot of monsters outside at dawn. Several families have gone looking for Black Crystal at dawn before, and when they found it, the people had already been torn to pieces. It's the same if we go looking during the day. Although there are fewer, it's safer at least."

"Hmph, it would be better if they died outside!!! If they find the black crystals in the morning light, we will have fewer black crystals to find during the day. Selfish people like them really deserve to die!!!" Someone said resentfully.
