Chapter 1550: Chapter 522: The Silent World and Cao Xing’s Exploration Method

Cao Xing almost didn’t hesitate at all before turning around, returning to the Lord Castle, and shutting the main door tight.

Then he pulled the curtains closed as well, turned off all the lights in the room, leaving only the Coal-burning stove.

After doing all this, he immediately pressed the Communication Device on his ear and said, "Everyone, extinguish all light sources and stay honestly in your own rooms. Remember not to make any sound."

Hearing the order.

The Lighthouse of the entire Territory went dark in an instant.

All those residential houses also hurriedly shut their windows and pulled their curtains.

Even the Energy Tower at the center of the Territory entered a low-consumption mode.

Luckily, most Survivors Territories had already upgraded their Bonfires into Melting Furnaces by now.

And the Melting Furnace wouldn’t give off too bright a firelight.

Otherwise, in this kind of extreme low temperature, if they couldn’t use Bonfires to keep warm, people would literally freeze to death!

And as the lights went out.

At this point, the whole world was plunged into silence and Darkness.

Whether it was the various Constructions in the Territory, or those machines, the cattle and sheep...

Even the Beasts and insects out in the Valleys beyond the Territory fell silent.

Thus began the true silent world!

Survivors in other Territories were all curled up in their own rooms at this moment, waiting with anxious, uneasy faces.

Many had watched that live stream during the day, but from beginning to end, they never saw how that Survivor died.

They didn’t even know what the creature inside looked like.

And the unknown is what scares people the most!

No one dared to breathe too loudly, fearing they’d attract the Monsters in the mist and end up like that Cai Ze, dying without even knowing why.

In this oppressive atmosphere, the first half of the night slowly passed.

Just as the time ticked past 00:00.

Cao Xing suddenly felt that something was rapidly approaching his Territory.

From outside came the rustling sound of crawling and the "buzz buzz buzz" of beating wings.

Previously, these sounds had only wandered around aimlessly in the snowy fields outside the Territory.

But now they seemed to have climbed right up the Wall and were surging toward his Territory.

Not just him—almost all the Survivors in the chat channel had the same feeling.

They didn’t dare make a sound, and one after another sent text messages asking:

"卧槽! Brothers, did you hear that sound? It’s like something just entered my Territory!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"I heard it too, but if these things came in, why didn’t the Arrow Towers’ defense mechanism trigger? This is way too weird!"

"Any badass brothers wanna go out and take a look, see what the hell those things outside are?"

However, no one responded to that question.

Even though everyone was very curious about what exactly was moving around in their Territories right now...

No one dared to go looking for death. They all stayed honestly in their rooms.

Cao Xing was also extremely curious about the commotion outside.

So he slowly climbed up from the bed.

Beside him, Liu Muxue gently tugged on the hem of his clothes, worry flashing in her eyes.

Cao Xing made a hand gesture, signaling her to relax.

He wasn’t stupid enough to open the door now and make direct contact with these unknown creatures.

Then, under Liu Muxue’s worried gaze, Cao Xing slowly walked to the window and carefully lifted a corner of the curtain.

Through the small gap, he peered outside.

However, Cao Xing could only see a sheet of Darkness and endless dense fog, as if it had completely shrouded the entire Territory.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "I can’t see anything?"

He wasn’t actually surprised by this scene.

After all, the creatures in the fog were far too mysterious. Even Natives like Old Mel, who had lived for decades, had no idea what those creatures really were.

After observing for a while and gaining nothing, Cao Xing pulled the curtain closed again.

Then he tiptoed back to the bed, wrapped an arm around Liu Muxue, and slipped with her into the warm blankets.

Outside, the fog enshrouded everything, and the Cold Wind Roar.

At times like this, only the person on your pillow could give you a sliver of warmth and comfort.

Just when Cao Xing thought they might get through the night in peace...

In the second half of the night, he suddenly heard a series of knocks at the door.

"Dong... dong dong dong..."

"Dong dong dong dong dong..."

The knocking was completely irregular, like the Night Wind flinging pebbles against the door.

However, this sound carried a hint of Enchantment, as if it were tempting you to open the door!

Cao Xing thought of what Old Mel had said during the day.

He quickly pressed the Communication Device on his ear and whispered under the covers, "Attention, everyone: don’t make any sound, and don’t open the door."

"Just pretend you didn’t hear anything and didn’t see anything."

No sound came through his earpiece. Everyone stayed honestly in their rooms and didn’t reply to Cao Xing’s message.

But in the chat channel, things suddenly got lively again in the dead of night.

The Survivors kept sending all kinds of messages, their words filled with intense dread!

"沃日! What the hell is knocking on the door? This shit is way too creepy!"

"My god, I’m so scared... wu wu wu..."

"WDNMD, my wardrobe just moved, I’m done playing this game!"

"Brothers, listen to me: whatever you do, don’t go out and open the door, and don’t make any sound."

And right then, someone suddenly spoke up.

"卧槽! You said that too late, I thought it was another Subject knocking. I’ve already opened..."

His message cut off abruptly before it was finished.

This scene made a chill rise in the hearts of every Survivor in the chat channel!

For a while, no one even dared to breathe loudly.
