Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 12: New Game Launch [Complete]

1500: Knocking

'Do I really lack food?'

This thought crossed Lin Sanjiu's mind as the iron door slammed shut.

That man might have been struggling to survive for too long, or perhaps he just entered this apocalypse. He actually thought that food and water were significant issues for everyone else. Not to mention that Yu Yuan himself could produce endless supplies of food; just the provisions prepared for her by the grand prize would be enough for her to last until teleportation — of course, she wouldn't just sit and wait until then.

"The prison time has ended," announced a cheery feminine voice as soon as the door closed. It seemed that the effect of [Drawing Ground into Prison] vanished the moment that man left.

Lin Sanjiu sighed in relief, feeling even more amused. Without [Drawing Ground into Prison], would she really be afraid of an empty room? This seemed like a perfect opportunity to investigate.

On the ground, Yu Yuan's shoulder twitched slightly. She quickly squatted beside him and asked, "Are you okay? We should be safe for now."

"Why do I always have to repair my body from scratch?" Yu Yuan moved a little, supporting himself with his hand, and slowly got up, still a bit stiff. "Without the Data Stream Library as a base, it's very draining for me."

"I'll protect you more from now on," Lin Sanjiu said.

"Thank you."

Being a Veda, Yu Yuan seemed to have accepted reality. He turned his gaze to the area behind Lin Sanjiu and said, "You need to start protecting me now."

Taken aback, Lin Sanjiu quickly turned around and jumped.

It seems that man wasn't as careless as she thought.

Out of nowhere, rows upon rows of massive words appeared in the room. These characters closely resembled Chinese characters, but they seemed far more sinister and brutal. The characters for "hunger" radiated a sickly green-yellow hue, appearing hollow and fragile, yet sharp enough to pierce. With just one glance, Lin Sanjiu felt a pang of hunger so strong it was nearly unbearable. Without hesitation, she grabbed a pound cake from her card inventory and took a large bite, tearing the plastic and swallowing the cake with bits of plastic.

Amid the layers of "hunger" characters, there were numerous massive characters for "locust."

She had never seen such disgusting words in her life.

The strokes forming "locust" looked like layers of insect wings, rubbing against one another with a rustling sound. Looking up, she could see tentacles swaying above, and below that, countless emotionless black eyes.

Each "locust" character shimmered with an eerie smoothness, standing on long leg-like strokes. If one looked closely, they could even see tiny hairs on these legs. Wait, that's not right. It wasn't because she had stared too long; rather, these words were gradually becoming reality, transforming into countless locusts, each the size of a palm.

"They're materializing," Yu Yuan said matter-of-factly as if providing a live report. "And from the looks of it, their number is vast."

As his words fell, the already dim cement room was instantly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of darkness. Each character for 'locust' morphed into millions of them, swarming like a storm towards the two individuals. At the exact moment the dark tide engulfed the pair, a white light from the [Defense Forcefield] suddenly flared amidst the countless shadowy figures sweeping past. The protective barrier shimmered and wavered under the onslaught of the dark swarm. In a matter of seconds, Mrs. Manas cried out.
