Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

Mary followed closely behind, her petite figure appearing even smaller against Su Hui's broad back. However, her small hands, gripping the energy gauntlets, remained remarkably steady, and her clear eyes warily scanned her surroundings.

The sudden resurgence of those charred corpses and their fragments still haunted her, and she dared not be careless at all.

Tina followed behind Mary, her expression calm, her reddish-brown eyes scanning every corner warily. Her black sports vest accentuated her beautiful figure, and her long legs, encased in black tights, were strong and powerful.

In addition to being vigilant about her surroundings, she also keeps a close eye on Mary's condition to prevent the little girl from making any mistakes due to nervousness.

Harley remained at the rear, carrying the "Goodnight" baseball bat on her shoulder and fiddling with the "Sweet" revolver in her other hand. She appeared nonchalant, but her azure eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, constantly watching for any potential threats from behind the group.

The deeper one goes into the facility, the heavier the acrid smell of burning and the more oppressive the atmosphere becomes.

Large, eerie black scorch marks were solidified on the walls on both sides of the passage, as if they had been burned by something at extremely high temperatures, exuding an ominous aura.

Some of the metal structure walls even showed signs of twisting and melting.

Most of the laboratory doors along the way were tightly closed, while a few had been forcibly broken open from the outside by some enormous force, revealing a chaotic scene inside.

Various high-precision instruments and equipment were scattered all over the ground, their screens shattered and circuits broken, clearly having also experienced a fierce battle and the rampage of monsters.

Occasionally, one can still see some experimental data recording devices that were not taken away by the military, but most of them have been completely destroyed and are beyond repair.

The air was eerily still, with only the faint sound of four people's footsteps echoing in the empty passage, adding to the eeriness and tension.

Mary couldn't help but move closer to Su Hui, her little hands unconsciously gripping the hem of his clothes, but she quickly loosened her grip as if realizing something, only pressing her body even closer to Su Hui.

Su Hui could sense her subtle tension, but he didn't say anything, only slowed his pace slightly.

After passing through a narrow, dark metal corridor, a relatively spacious area came into view ahead, which seemed to be a central control room or a similar area.

The last footage from the recorder seems to have some similarities to this place.

Just as Su Hui was about to step in, he suddenly stopped.

An extreme chill and intense malice suddenly attacked him from behind and above without warning!

The feeling was as if I were being stared at by a venomous snake that had been lying in wait for a long time, and the hairs on my body stood on end in an instant!

"careful!"

Before Su Hui could even turn around, his body instinctively tried to dodge as he shouted.

However, the target of that attack was not him!

A dark and unusually tall and thin figure appeared silently in the shadows of the ceiling, like a weightless ghost.

It is composed entirely of countless fine black and gray particles, wrapped in strips of black ash woven from ashes, as if they possess life, forming a rough outline of a human figure.

He exuded an ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine.

The moment the figure appeared, it bypassed Su Hui, who was walking at the very front, and Mary, who was following closely behind.

Its target was none other than Tina, who was in the middle to back of the group!

The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, almost instantly appearing behind Tina like a ghost the moment Su Hui issued his warning.

A dark, bandaged hand, imbued with terrifying energy, pointed directly at Tina's vital point in the back, carrying a chilling killing intent that could freeze even the soul!

Tina's combat instincts allowed her to sense the deadly danger from behind the moment Su Hui warned her.

Her muscles tensed instantly as she tried to dodge to the side.

But the shadowy figure was too fast, and my body's reaction was ultimately a beat too slow!

An unprecedented sense of crisis overwhelmed Tina like a cold tide.

She could even feel the icy breath touching the back of her neck; the shadow of death had never been so close!

"boom!!"

Guns are faster than people!

A deafening gunshot shattered the silence of the area.

Almost at the same instant that dark figure appeared, Harley, who was at the rear, had her pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints.

He reacted quickly and fired!

The muzzle of the "Sweet" revolver burst into a dazzling flash of light. A bullet, shimmering with pale blue energy, whistled and struck the head of the tall, thin, dark figure with unparalleled precision at an extremely tricky angle!

This shot!

Harley displayed an amazing level of shooting skill.

The bullet hit its target without a doubt!

However, the energy bullet, powerful enough to shatter alloy steel plates, struck the shadowy figure squarely in the "head," and the expected scene of the head exploding did not occur.

The tall, thin figure paused only slightly in mid-air, and the area hit by the bullet rippled violently, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Countless black and gray particles dispersed slightly, but quickly reassembled.

But it paused for only a moment, and its attack did not diminish at all, still fiercely pouncing on Tina!

In the blink of an eye!

Su Hui's reaction was equally fast, his body bursting with speed and power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Before he could even turn around, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, forcibly twisting his body at an angle that almost defied the laws of physics, and lunged towards Tina like an arrow released from a bow.

Just as the dark figure's attack was about to strike, Su Hui's strong and powerful arm grabbed Tina's soft yet resilient waist.

"Get down!"

With a low growl, Su Hui gave Tina no time to react, forcefully pulling her to the side and rolling backwards.

The two men, their bodies pressed tightly together, tumbled awkwardly several meters across the cold, hard metal floor.

scoff!

Almost the instant they rolled away to dodge, the attack from the tall, thin, dark figure missed its target, and a few strands of black ash bandages brushed past Tina's disheveled hair.

A nauseating, burnt smell instantly filled the air.

A few strands of Tina's long, smooth, black hair silently ignited with eerie black flames the moment they touched the black ash, quickly turning into charcoal and then shattering.

If it had been even a fraction of a second slower, the consequences of being hit directly would have been unimaginable!

Su Hui quickly stood up, shielding Tina behind him, his eyes sharp as knives, staring intently at the figure that had finally been fully revealed.

The tall, thin, dark figure slowly turned around.

Until this moment,

The appearance of that tall, thin, dark figure was finally fully revealed to everyone.

Compared to the blurry images seen in the recorder, the monster in front of them was more solid and more terrifying.

It is about 2.5 meters tall, but its body is unusually slender and long, like a stretched black shadow.

There were no clear facial features; the area around the head was just a deep darkness, as if it could swallow up all light.

His entire body seemed to be composed of countless constantly wriggling, gathering and dispersing fine black and gray particles, wrapped and bound in black bandages to form a human shape.

The black bandages, like living venomous snakes, slowly swam and danced around its body, emanating a chilling malice and an almost tangible sense of terrifying oppression.

The monster before them was none other than the terrifying creature that had appeared in the recording, ignoring conventional bullet attacks and slaughtering an entire military exploration team—the [Black Ash Weaver]!

P.S.: The main chapter will be released at midnight, but this chapter will be updated first.

58. See through the rules, pursue [4.8k]

Its appearance is like a tangible manifestation of fear emerging from the deepest nightmare; its mere existence exudes a suffocating malice.

There was no roaring, nor any substantial action.

An invisible spiritual wave, like a tsunami, suddenly spread from the body of the [Black Ash Weaver], which was made of pure shadow, and instantly swept over Su Hui and the other three!

"Well!"

A chilling cold swept over them like a tidal wave, and Tina and Mary both let out a muffled groan almost simultaneously, their faces visibly turning pale.

They felt a chilling, desperate thought, filled with a frenzied desire to kill, piercing their minds like countless sharp needles, churning their nerves wildly.

That invisible mental pressure struck them like a heavy hammer, bringing an indescribable sense of fear.

Mary's petite body swayed slightly, a trace of pain and confusion flashing in her clear eyes, and she almost lost her balance.

Tina was in slightly better condition, but fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her reddish-brown eyes were filled with vigilance and seriousness.

Even Su Hui felt a sharp shock, as if countless noisy whispers were murmuring in his mind.

He grunted, a cold glint flashing in his azure eyes. His powerful mental strength instantly stabilized his mind, forcibly dispelling the malice that had invaded his brain.

The system's scanning function had already locked onto the monster in front of it.

【Black Ember Weaver (Main Form)】

[Level: 63]

[HP: 6253/10700]

【Strength: 1】

[Physical Fitness: 1]

[Agility: 70]

【Spirit: 107】

[Skills: Ember Infestation, Stealth Traverse, Mental Shock, Split Creation, Rule Distortion (Not Activated), Annihilation Burst (Not Activated)]

[Note: This is a Rule-based dimensional monster whose existence distorts some of the rules of reality. It is immune to physical damage. Its health is highly tied to its mental strength and is affected by the number of its clones.]

He's definitely a monster of rules!

Su Hui's gaze sharpened slightly.

This [Black Ember Weaver] has the same extreme attributes as the previous split entity. Its physical attributes are pitifully weak, but its mental attributes are as high as 107 points, even surpassing his!

Even more bizarre,

According to the system description, its health points seem to be tied to its mental attribute. What appeared before me was not at full health, but rather a mere six thousand health points, barely more than half full.

Just as Su Hui was checking the monster data, the black ash swirling around the [Black Ash Weaver] cast a huge shadow behind it, and the dark mist began to writhe violently.

At the end of the passage, on the floor of the central control room, the corpses of the previously deceased military explorers seemed to be summoned, and slowly rose up as they coalesced into a split entity.

One, two, three...

In the blink of an eye, dozens of new [Black Ember Weaver Splits] emerged from the shadows, their empty eye sockets locking onto Su Hui and his group, blocking all their paths forward.

As these split entities appeared, Su Hui keenly noticed that the maximum health of the [Black Ember Weaver] entity on the system panel had visibly decreased.

Clearly, this summoning of clones comes at a cost.

The creation of the split entity consumes the [Black Ember Weaver]'s health points, or rather, "spiritual energy".

This discovery is undoubtedly good news.

Compared to the main body of the [Black Ember Weaver], which has an unpredictable speed and unknown attack methods, these split entities, although numerous, are obviously much easier to deal with.

"Marie, Tina, you two should prioritize clearing out these split entities!"

Su Hui made a quick decision and commanded the three of them to begin the battle, "Harley, let's deal with this guy's main body together!"

"Leave it to us, Brother Su Hui!"

Mary, with her petite stature and extraordinary agility, moved nimbly through the split group.

Her golden twin ponytails drew bright arcs in the fierce battle, and her energy gauntlets whistled through the air as she punched one after another, turning the attacking split entities into black ash.

"understand!"

Tina followed suit and joined the fray.

Her slender figure resembled that of a lithe female leopard, and the muscle lines beneath her black sports vest exuded explosive power.

Wearing energy-gloves, her fair fists delivered powerful blows, while her long legs, encased in black flesh-colored tights, unleashed swift, whip-like kicks, showcasing her skillful and fierce fighting techniques.

Every punch and kick contained powerful explosive force, instantly blasting the approaching split entities into dust!

"Hehe, just what I wanted!"

Harley grinned, carrying the "Goodnight" baseball bat, and with her other hand raised the "Sweet" revolver, she fired several shots at the main body of [Black Ember Weaver].

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
