Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

"What are you doing standing around? Just run along."

"okay."

So the two people who didn't know what was going on followed the strong man and ran along the path towards the town.

Beichen even thought the strong man was running too slowly, so he simply picked him up and ran with him.

This frightened him quite a bit. You know, he was tall and tall, weighing at least two hundred pounds. The man in front of him could lift himself up with one hand and run very fast.

Could it be that he encountered some kind of monster?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

The sun has completely set, and darkness has completely enveloped the land.

There are faint lights in the distance. Maybe this is not a small town. Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a small city.

After all, Beichen's eyes were very good, and he had already seen the city wall through the light.

Getting closer and closer to the town, the big man being carried on Beichen's shoulders suddenly exclaimed.

"The door, the door is closing!"

Beichen squinted his eyes and took a look. He knew it without looking. After all, the sound of the door falling had already reached his ears.

The crunching sound seemed to indicate that the three of them were about to be locked outside.

"We have to hurry, maybe we can get in, or we have to stay outside!"

The big man said anxiously.

Beichen also noticed that something was emerging from the darkness, and rustling sounds had reached the ears of the three of them.

The strong man's face was ashen at this time, and everyone in the town knew what it meant when such a sound appeared next to him.

That would be eaten until no bones are left!

Anyway, those who had not entered the town at night eventually disappeared, and so did the people who went to look for them, either returning without success or disappearing in the same way.

There are even rumors that those who disappeared eventually became monsters and would come to the town seeking revenge.

"Hold on tight... No, it seems like I should hold on to you two."

Beichen jumped directly onto the city wall, which startled the patrol officers.

"who!"

Several weapons were immediately pointed at the three of them.

"No, no, no, big brother, we are good citizens."

Beichen immediately performed the French military salute.

"Ahem, it's me."

The strong man got up from the ground, coughed slightly, and said.

"Holy shit, Wang Hu? You're finally back."

It seemed that the people in charge of patrols all knew this strong man.

Your name is Wang Hu? It’s really vivid and easy to remember.

"Who are these two?"

Wang Hu turned around and glanced at Beichen and Nian, who were standing there and looking at the city wall, and said, "I encountered them when I was rushing back. If they hadn't helped me, I probably would have left them outside."

Wang Hu was an honest person. He didn't add insult to injury or tell the whole story. He just said hello and led Nian and Beichen down the city wall.

"Do you two have a place to rest? If not, you might as well come to my house to rest for a night."

"Well, although this question may be a bit outrageous, I still want to ask, what time is it tonight?"

Beichen raised this question.

Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Beichen to ask such a question, but he quickly reacted and replied: "Ah, at this time of year, it will be dawn in about four or five hours." .”

Four or five hours? The time here is quite normal.

"I don't need to rest. I just want to ask a few simple questions... Although this question may be strange, I hope you can answer it seriously."

Of course, there is a better place to take a rest. There happens to be ready-made people here, so why not ask a few more questions.

"Your place is not big, but the wall is not too short. So at night, what is outside the wall?"

Wang Hu shook his head and said with lingering fear: "No one has seen that thing, and everyone who has seen it has disappeared. They only appear after sunset and will attack all living things."

"The weakness is the fear of light, right?" Beichen said.

Wang Hu nodded and affirmed: "That's right. Only with the help of this wall and the uninterrupted lights at night, we can barely resist."

"Barely resisting?"

"Yes, during the new moon and when the weather is not good, those things will become more aggressive, and they can only hear their sounds but not see them."

Only hear the sound but not see the thing?

"Is this thing so fast?"

"Yes, even before the light of the torch hits them, they have already fled without a trace. We must avoid the shadows. No, we must not let the shadows get close to the city wall at all, otherwise they are likely to destroy it."

So scary?

Beichen frowned. This was an unheard of enemy. If they were really faster than him, it would be a troublesome thing to deal with them.

"Are there other villages, towns and other settlements around?"

Wang Hu just shook his head and said: "No, I have been in this town since I was born. Even the strongest person in the town cannot find traces of other people's lives within a safe period of time."

"We don't even know where these monsters come from or where they rest. Damn it, if we can find their lair during the day!"

Wang Hu was slightly agitated, but soon returned to normal.

Nian observed the brightly lit street. The street was illuminated as bright as day.

It seems that the locals are indeed very afraid of this thing.

Nian leaned into Beichen's ear and whispered: "The time line we came to this time is a little earlier than the last time. The torch may be their most advanced lighting prop."

However, this torch is indeed quite bright. The cloth strip wrapped around it must have been impregnated with some kind of fuel. Anyway, it is very resistant to burning.

Beichen was about to ask some questions, but at this moment, a dull bell ringing suddenly came from the center of the town.

Boom...boom...boom

Wang Hu's body froze immediately, then turned around and ran quickly in the direction he came from just now.

But he didn't take two steps before he turned back and ran back. He ran to Beichen's side and asked anxiously: "So, this little brother, can you do me a favor?"

The corners of Beichen's mouth curled up. Could this be the legendary main mission coming to his door?

Of course Wang Hu is not a fool. A person who can carry himself with one hand and walk as fast as flying is definitely not an ordinary person. With his help, the casualties can be reduced or even eliminated.

Seeing Beichen standing there without moving, Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said, "What about that? As long as I help you, you can ask for anything you want!"

At this moment, Beichen seemed to see a question mark flashing on Wang Hu's head.

"Okay! I'll help you with this!"
