I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

"Watch out, the target is inside."

Su Yuan's voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of each team member through specially made bone conduction headphones.

"His energy reaction is very strong and extremely strange, unlike anything we've ever known. Wu Qiong, how's the situation on your end?"

"I've infiltrated the ventilation ducts and am moving towards the central area. There's a lot of blood smell here." Wu Qiong's voice was low and heavy.

Wang Yi and Chen Hu exchanged a glance, then stepped into the deep darkness one after the other.

cold.

Bone-chilling cold.

This is not just a physical low temperature, but also a chilling malice that seems to freeze the soul, permeating the air.

On both sides of the corridor were rows of huge freezers, covered with frost, and a thin layer of ice on the floor, which made a soft "crunching" sound when stepped on.

Everything seemed deathly still.

It's too quiet.

Wang Yi made a gesture, and the troops stopped and formed a defensive formation back to back.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

A shadow that was originally still on the left wall suddenly came to life without warning. Like a pool of flowing ink, it silently peeled off the wall and transformed into a black blade, which stabbed towards Zhang Wei, the team member in charge of logistics, with lightning speed!

too fast!

It was so fast that even Wang Yi only had time to shout "Watch out!"

"Pfft!"

Blood splattered.

Zhang Wei screamed in agony as a deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed across his arm. Eerie black energy, like maggots clinging to the bone, was frantically eroding his flesh along the wound.

"It's Death!"

Wang Yi roared and lashed out with a lightning whip.

Having landed a successful blow, the dark figure didn't linger and instantly disappeared into the shadows on the other side.

The lightning whip struck empty air, leaving a charred mark on the cold wall.

"The Dragon Team?"

A hoarse, dry sound, like two pieces of rusty metal rubbing together, came from the shadows all around, carrying a hint of mockery and cruelty.

"It seems you are the Dragon Kingdom's trump card in the arena. However, in the real world, your rules do not apply."

"Get out here!" Chen Hu roared, brandishing his battle blade. The blade sliced ​​through the air with a sharp whistling sound, but it couldn't touch the enemy at all.

"Don't waste your energy."

The figure of Death slowly emerged from the darkness at the end of the corridor.

He seemed to be made entirely of shadows, making it impossible to see his exact appearance. Only his eyes, which gleamed with a scarlet light, appeared particularly eerie in the darkness.

"In this place, I am God."

Before he finished speaking, his figure once again turned into a blot of ink, merging into the ground and disappearing without a trace.

"Su Yuan! What the hell is this guy?" Wang Yi roared in the team chat while keeping a wary eye on his surroundings.

Inside the command center, Su Yuan's expression was also extremely solemn.

On the screen in front of him, data about Death was being analyzed at lightning speed.

"His body has been drastically modified! Those bastards in the United States illegally withheld a portion of the nation's destiny points that should have dissipated and used them on him!"

Su Yuan's voice carried a hint of anger.

"He fused with a gene similar to that of shadow creatures in dungeons, gaining the ability to manipulate shadows and stealth! He's not an ordinary person; he's a monster!"

This news sent a chill down the spines of the Dragon Team members.

They thought that, thanks to the enhancement from the T-virus serum, they had no rivals in the real world.

Unexpectedly, the United States, the "beacon of democracy," also had such a trump card hidden!

"Everyone, stay alert!" Wang Yi shouted. "No matter how strong he is, he's still just one person! Chen Hu, protect Li Bingyao! The rest of you, watch your shadows!"

The battle erupted suddenly in the next second!

Death fully demonstrated his terror as a top assassin.

Using his ability to move through shadows, he waged a textbook guerrilla war in the complex environment of the cold storage.

He might reach out a hand from the shadow at your feet, or he might drop a knife from the darkness above your head.

Every attack was cunning, ruthless, and aimed directly at the vital points.

Despite their formidable strength, the Dragon Team found themselves on the defensive in this environment, their brute force rendered useless.

Chen Hu roared in anger, swinging his battle blade wildly at the surrounding walls and ground, destroying the entire cold storage in a mess, but he couldn't even touch the hem of 'Death's' clothes.

"Come out and fight me head-on if you dare! What kind of coward are you, hiding like this!"

"As you wish."

A cold voice suddenly rang out behind Chen Hu.

A jet-black dagger, imbued with dense shadow energy, silently pierced his back!

"Shadow Assassination!"

"Watch out!" Wang Yi's eyes widened in horror.

Chen Hu also sensed the deadly danger. He turned around abruptly and used his battle blade to block.

"clang!"

Sparks flew everywhere.

Chen Hu was forced back several steps by the enormous force.

On his back, a shallow wound was also cut by the sharp edge of the dagger.

Black blood seeped from the wound.

Chen Hu glanced down at his wound, then at the unharmed Grim Reaper, and for the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Damn it, this thing... it actually broke through my defenses?"

His berserker body was actually injured!

"You're strong, like a foolish rhinoceros." 'Death' licked the black blood off his dagger, his crimson eyes full of mockery. "Too bad, even the thickest hide can't stop the blade from the shadows."

"Go to hell!"

Enraged, Chen Hu roared and charged forward again.

But the figure of Death once again merged into the shadows and disappeared.

The entire Dragons team was caught in a bizarre and frustrating battle.

They were like a pack of beasts that had stumbled into a spider's web—powerful, yet unable to unleash their full potential.

"You are very strong, but you are too clumsy."

The voice of death, like the whisper of the devil, echoed in everyone's ears.

"Your struggles are meaningless in this land of shadows."

Suddenly, his ghostly figure appeared behind Li Bingyao, who was treating Zhang Wei!

His goal from the very beginning was to target the most vulnerable healer in the team!

"it's over."

The pitch-black dagger, carrying the aura of death, pierced towards Li Bingyao's snow-white neck.
