When the strange fog completely dissipated, the crowd that had been sluggish instantly woke up, and what followed was an expected chaos.
After all, the scene was more enjoyable than the R-rated plasma blockbusters, but it was really too much for everyone, and many people vomited directly.
Well, some of them are down there too.
Alvin blended into the crowd of people running wildly, ran to the station without looking back, and took the city-circling rail car back home, acting exactly like a frightened ordinary high school student.
It's not that he has a special complex of "doing good deeds without leaving a name", but because someone really has no way to explain the unreasonable traces at the scene.
For example, the various marks left by [the armor of human infantry].
So no matter why those humans turned into monsters, the first thing they have to do is to protect themselves from being caught on the autopsy table.
After combing through the entire incident and confirming that there were no cameras in the remote area where the fighting broke out, and that there were no shops that would install their own cameras, he felt a little more at ease.
"Is this the rhythm of a daily routine that really turns into a horror movie?!"
Although he has experienced many incredible things and even killed a bunch of "undead", this sudden change in painting style still made him a little unable to react.
No one wants to live in a world full of monsters, and neither does Alvin.
So he had to force himself to calm down, and then try his best to analyze what was going on in this scene that went against the common sense of this world.
"Speaking of which, whether it is those inexplicable mist or these monsters that are mutated from humans, they are very different from the style of this mechanical technological civilization. They do not look like they are created by humans themselves..."
Thinking back over and over again about the appearance of those mutated monsters, as a person involved in the whole incident, Ivan felt more and more that this was not a special phenomenon that existed in the human world.
At least it is an extremely rare event.
Otherwise, with the current level of civilization, even if the information blockade is well done, the government has absolutely no corresponding preventive measures. Even the police are so slow that someone just drove past their building and ran towards the direction of the crime.
It's been half an hour, and it's almost too cold to sweep the floor!
"If you put it this way...an evil force from outside the planet? An alien conspiracy? An invasion from another world? A mysterious resurrection?"
I was pondering these possible guesses, but soon, Ivan suddenly smiled to himself.
Well, it's none of his business for the time being, and he doesn't seem to have the ability to worry about it.
As an unlucky guy who has to rely on government relief funds for his life, what is the use of his own research?
This world shouldn't need a guy like him who only has a little special ability to be a savior, at least it won't need him who is so weak now.
Besides, with the level of those mutated monsters, they can only bully ordinary people who are completely unable to resist and are in a sluggish state.
Whenever a soldier appears with a modern firearm and can stay awake, a dozen can easily be killed with a single sweep.
Even if people can't do it, then use a drone instead.
As for those weird fogs that only he seemed to be able to see, there was no good way. He could only pray that they wouldn't appear easily again.
However, if this thing is not a natural phenomenon, but a deliberate act by some force, then it means...
"Is a storm coming?"
Alvin murmured and stayed awake all night.
Obviously, he still couldn't be as calm as he tried to appear.
The next day, despite his anxiety, everything was calm.
There was no man in black who suddenly came to the door, no special police officers blocking the door, not even the aunt from the neighborhood committee saw it, and there was no horrific scene of hordes of monsters flooding the streets, as if nothing happened yesterday.
Same.
On the third day, there was still no abnormal situation. Whether it was on TV or in private chats among the adults, it had nothing to do with monsters.
Alvin was simply puzzled by this.
But in this case, he decided that he could no longer waste time waiting. Instead, he turned his uneasiness into motivation, entered the [Broken Village Map] again, and tried to explore around the village to see if he could make any other discoveries.
Unfortunately, before he had gone very far, he encountered an invisible wall of air, which was a complete replica of the treatment in the game.
Without doing any more useless work, he returned to the village along the same route. Looking at the densely packed group of undead in the square from a distance, Alvin began to think about how to get them back to the cemetery.
But on the fourth day, things finally took a new turn.
During lunch, Carl suddenly and mysteriously patted Alvin who was eating.
He was already a bit wretched, but now he was looking around like a thief. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he cautiously stretched his head over. With that look on his face, Alvin was really afraid that he would ask for the disc...
Just when someone was considering whether to immediately knock this guy to the ground and send him a 404 for the sake of his own innocence, he took out a mobile phone.
"Evan, look at this quickly!"
Listening to the irrepressible excitement in his tone, Alvin subconsciously glanced at the phone screen that almost touched his nose.
Mutated monster!
His heart suddenly shook.
Yes, even though it only flashed across the screen, he was extremely certain that the monster that appeared in the video captured by the surveillance camera at the stairway of a resident's home was exactly the same as the three he killed!
"Where did you see this?"
Grabbing the phone, Aiwen ignored the protests from his deskmate and began to rummage around, discovering that the short video actually came from a post on a forum called Mysterious Events.
In addition to the one just now, there are actually five other blurry short videos under this post.
Click in, and the second video was also captured by a camera installed by an individual resident in front of his home.
You can see a monster covered in blood being dragged through the door by several policemen wearing anti-explosion suits using a steel mesh. You can even see the ferocious bone spurs on the monster at close range for a moment.
The remaining two are scenes of mutated monsters eating people at the door of different stores. It is obvious that the architectural style in the video should be from Hexi.
As for the last video…
At the beginning of the video, the person who could see the video was recording a pot of flowers placed on the balcony, but soon the phone fell to the balcony without warning.
The screen scrolled for a while, and then it turned into a camera pressed against the window and pointed downstairs.
The crowd downstairs all seemed motionless, as if the screen had been paused.
But soon, a monster appeared on the edge of the screen, and then a figure wearing armor suddenly appeared and blew the monster's head off with a bloody baseball bat!
Seeing this scene, Alvin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.
Although the camera was blocked by the balcony, the picture was very unclear, and the key picture only lasted about one second, but he was extremely sure that the person wearing armor inside was him.
"There's something wrong..."
Resisting the urge to press report and destroy the post, he returned the phone to Karl, took out the phone he had given as a gift and started searching for relevant online information.
However, Aiwen soon discovered that he could not find any information, and even the post bar he just saw had disappeared.
After looking at Karl's phone, he found that he couldn't find the post. What he clicked on to browse was a series of white screens and garbled characters.
"Did the authorities take action?"
Ivan feels that the only ones with such energy seem to be the official ones, but this obviously cannot completely prevent the video from continuing to circulate.
In just one noon, the whole class learned about it through the propaganda of a few big-mouthed guys. One guy even downloaded the video and started to "sell" it to others like crazy.
Watching all this silently, Alvin felt that he might be in trouble.
It is actually not surprising that the news would be blocked by the authorities. Anyone would do this, but his own footage was actually recorded, which is very fatal.
Although the mutation broke out in more than one place, it will definitely distract the official attention-, but...
Who knows how much officials actually found?
Will all the forces come to find me in the end? Why can I still be as fierce as a tiger even when everyone is in a coma?
Throughout the afternoon, he barely managed to keep his face calm. As soon as school was over, he rushed home and received all his belongings into the [Map of the Ruined Village] without saying a word.
After that, he exchanged the remaining half of the funds in his hand for water and food, and piled them in a dilapidated thatched hut somewhere on the map where he usually stayed.
Ivan has made up his mind that if the worst happens and the authorities or other forces block the door and have to get him away, then he will hide in the map.
The worst case scenario is to fight to the death and find a way to kill the boss, and see if you can explore beyond the map and work hard to develop.
Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario and things may not be that bad.
In this world, due to some strange human rights laws in history, surveillance networks are not very developed.
Rhine City is not an important city, and there are no other video records of the remote trails. It is definitely not easy to pinpoint him with just one second of blurry footage.
It's hard to say whether the authorities will even shift attention from the monster to him.
After all, apart from the armor, the whole battle didn't show anything beyond common sense. If it were a special soldier with a sword, he would probably do better than him.
Even if it were the martial arts masters in the national team, they would definitely be able to cut through the monsters with a real weapon.
After all, it is a heritage that has been passed down for thousands of years, and coupled with the assistance of modern theory, it is really beyond the reach of Ye Luzi.
"I hope the monsters will be more powerful and draw all the attention away. It would be better if some martial arts masters who did the same thing pop up by the way. Then the officials will be too lazy to investigate seriously."
Ai Wen actually felt inexplicably relieved because of his weakness.
Well, that's sad...
But no matter what, life must go on.
The next day was Saturday. During the day, Alvin went to a nearby place that was recruiting part-time jobs.
After looking around, he found that the workload in these places was not that big, otherwise students would not be recruited to work part-time, but the shortcomings were also obvious.
It takes a long time, the salary is low, not to mention you can learn anything, it is really unattractive.
"It seems that finding a satisfactory part-time job nearby is enough. Let's go somewhere farther away tomorrow."
Eating the same cheap fast food for dinner, Alvin silently weighed the situation of today's investigation. At this moment, the system suddenly popped up.
[You are widely praised by the people]
[Identity change, gain a new identity - hero]
【Product category update】
[System version update]

…
【Ai Wen】

Without giving Alvin any time to react, a sense of fullness that he had before instantly filled his body.
All the cells seemed to be cheering, and a wonderful feeling like a new life made Aiwen couldn't help but reach out his hand, and then... he easily picked up the heavy solid wood table in front of him!
"At 17 o'clock, is it close to twice the attributes of an ordinary person?"
The increase in strength is certainly pleasing, but the reason for the change...
Staring at the slowly disappearing five prompts containing a huge amount of information, Aiwen pondered slightly, and finally picked up the alloy knife and entered the [Ruined Village Map] with ease.
Appearing out of thin air in an empty room that was rarely leaking, he glanced at the belongings and food piled aside, turned and looked outside, intending to find another room to test how far his strength had improved.
But as soon as he took the first step, he felt something was wrong.
So light!
It was as if part of the gravity pressing on his body suddenly disappeared, and Ivan felt that he became light and airy, and even felt like he could jump to the roof of the hut with just one effort.
Then he tried it and jumped up really easily!
Next, run, jump...
The extraordinary speed even gave Alvin the illusion that he could break all world records in running and jumping!
"It didn't feel like this when my agility was just improved, so what's left is...Night Hunter?"
Looking at the dim and still rainy sky outside, he suddenly felt that this must be the truth.
In order to thoroughly confirm this, Ivan briefly returned to the main world and bathed in the setting sun. As expected, he lost his extraordinary lightness and speed.
In addition to the increase in movement speed, Alvin, who activated his passive skill, also found that the knife in his hand became significantly sharper.
An ordinary alloy road cutter can easily cut through a hard stone, and even the cross section is extremely smooth.
Even if it were replaced by a fist, it still showed amazing lethality, easily punching through a thick piece of wood used as a beam.
Even when he tried to punch the stone, he actually left a fist mark on it!
This obviously cannot be explained by simply twice the physical fitness of ordinary people, but can only be the effect of the attack power buff bonus.
Faced with such destructive power, Alvin couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and even considered the possibility of directly challenging the large number of skeletons and posing bosses in the square.
Then, he calmed down instantly.
A hundred skeletons swarmed up and could crush him to death. This strength alone was not safe at all.
And even if he didn't mention those monsters, he clearly understood that he was still a piece of shit in the face of modern firearms.
After all, Alvin, who transformed into a [Night Fighter], improved his attack attributes, not his defense. Even if his fragile skin was upgraded to leather armor level, it would not be able to withstand modern firearms.
In addition to the improvement in his own strength, Ivan also discovered that the efficiency of little Ivan's mining has been significantly improved. Not only has the movement speed become much faster, but the number of gold coins obtained per mining has also become 0.1.
Estimating this, you can get about 200 gold coins a day, and the total asset growth efficiency has been greatly improved.
At the same time, the products in the [Mysterious Treasure Room] have also changed from before.
Ten new products have been refreshed. In addition to the potions and skills of ordinary troops that have appeared before, some skills and items that are obviously exclusive to heroes have also begun to appear, such as these two now:
[Paladin’s Warhammer]: The standard weapon of the heroic Paladin, with powerful power of holy light. Price: 10,000 gold coins
[Shadow Assault]: Launch a poison mark to cause damage, and the attacked unit will continue to be damaged for a certain period of time. The attacked unit will reduce its movement speed for a certain period of time. Price: 10,000 gold coins
In short, with the sudden version update of the system, not only has Aiwen's strength been greatly enhanced, but he has also been given the opportunity to have stronger power!
So…
He couldn't help but ask himself - should he continue to go to school next?
