I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

A system prompt came.

[Player Leveling Up]

[Planting limit +1]

[Received reward: Talent Card *1]

[Sunlight 100W]

Please check your supplies box.

call.

Chen Yang let out a long breath.

He brought back the gloves.

He never expected things to end this way.

Thoughts are confused.

He contacted Ling Qi, and everyone came to his side through the teleportation portal.

"Isek is really dead?!"

Ling Qi was the first to speak, her voice trembling.

Almost simultaneously, everyone's gaze turned to the corpse lying on the ground.

The lifeless body had holes in its chest and forehead, and the blood had long since dried.

It was as if something had been put down in the air.

"Really... dead..."

Liu Yan murmured softly.

The nightmare that haunted all players' hearts has finally turned into a corpse.

This feeling of exhilaration didn't last long.

What followed was a stifling silence.

"If Su Ran saw this scene, she would probably laugh."

Huang Aotian said in a low voice, a hint of tears glistening in the eyes of this eight-foot-tall man.

"Brothers, Chen Yang has avenged you."

Huangfu Qinghe clenched his fists and looked up at the darkening sky.

......

......

Black mist surged and engulfed the ruins of the Shadow Isles like a tidal wave.

Thresh hummed a little tune, walking leisurely, the grappling hook swaying gently in his hand, making a crisp metallic sound.

A clear, ethereal voice pierced through the black mist and whispered in my ear.

"Your followers lack resolve."

It's Calthus.

He called himself a death hymn singer.

Thresh kept moving, a slight disdain in his smile.

"Mortals are too weak; they were on the verge of collapse after only accommodating a few thousand souls."

"This time, I found a more useful medium."

Thresh's smile deepened, and his steps became as light as if he were dancing.

The ethereal voice came again.

"Ordinary people fear what they don't understand, and may even refuse good things that come their way because of it."

"No, this vessel has unlimited potential... It is not limited by the capacity of a soul."

Thresh retorted.

The ethereal voice received no further response, as if it had merged into the endless black mist.

A faint green light emanated from Thresh's lantern, illuminating his ferocious face.

"Don't move, Isaac... You will witness my plunder for all eternity."

He swung the grappling hook and continued wandering in the boundless black fog, humming his own death melody.

......

......

Night has fallen in the garden.

Chen Yang sat alone in the courtyard, facing the moonlight, staring blankly at the hideous arm, lost in thought.

After killing Isaac in the afternoon, Lingqi led them to District 32.

Isaac's stronghold.

Since Isaac was killed by Thresh's final blow, the system did not register Chen Yang as the killer.

His belongings were not directly inherited by Chen Yang, so the five of them went to Isaac's garden and looted his supply boxes.

The moment they entered Isaac's cabin, everyone was stunned.

The room was a mess, with broken furniture scattered on the floor and piles of unknown garbage mixed with dried blood in the corner.

The walls were almost entirely covered in messy, distorted black and red graffiti.

The graffiti was filled with all sorts of curses.

Some of the writing has been blurred and deeply engraved into the wall, like marks made by sharp claws.

In several of the crooked paintings, an image frequently appears: a person holding a chain and carrying a lantern.

As Chen Yang watched all this, a chill ran through him.

He understood that these words and graffiti were not simply an outlet for his emotions, but rather the product of Isaac being tormented to the limit by the countless souls bound within him.

They screamed, they cursed, they relentlessly eroded Isaac's mind until they dragged him into madness.

The entire room was like the inner world of a schizophrenic patient.

This place bears witness to his suffering and madness during his lifetime.

The supply box contained only a few scattered cards, some low-level upgrade cards and others mutation cards.

It's safe to assume that Isaac used all available resources to enhance his combat power.

Although he was crazy, he was also a cautious guy.

These resources are now lying in Chen Yang's supply box. The others suggested giving them to Chen Yang, and Chen Yang did not refuse.

He sat alone under the moon.

The little wizard in the flowerpot is resting with his eyes closed beside me.

Lava Nut, in the moonlight, was shaping a little clay figure.

Looking at his left hand, which was emitting a faint green aura, Chen Yang thought of Isaac's room again.

"I won't become like that."

He was certain in his heart.

The night is dark.

Standing up, Chen Yang looked towards the forest opposite the garden.

It is now the twenty-eighth day of survival, at 00:01.

Extremely silent.

Chen Yang was puzzled. Logically speaking, midnight was the day when the zombies would clock in at the garden.

Previously, during various competitions, players could be away from the garden during zombie attacks.

But now that the event is over and the allotted time has passed, the zombies have not launched an attack.

At 12:02, the zombies still hadn't arrived.

Chen Yang instinctively felt that something was wrong.

In the world chat, everyone was celebrating Chen Yang's kill of Isaac.

Now that this anomaly has occurred, the focus of communication on the world channel has also changed.

"Hey, why haven't the zombies come yet tonight?"

"You guys didn't come either? I thought it was just my area where the zombies were slacking off."

"Do zombies get monthly vacations?"

"do not know."

"Don't know? If you don't know, then use mugwort!"

"It's been 27 days straight, and we only get one day off. It's terrible."

The zombies stopped attacking as soon as the Ascension Tournament ended yesterday.

Chen Yang felt that something was wrong.

[Ding]

[Urgent Notice]

[According to Article 307 of the Human-Zombie Introduction Agreement, the human side has closed off the zombies' right to enter the Garden Space, which will remain in effect until 24:00 on the 31st day of survival.]

[A large-scale zombie offensive is expected to launch at 24:00 on the 31st day of survival.]

[At noon on the 32nd day of survival, a large-scale ascension ceremony will commence.]

[Please prepare yourselves, players.]

The system notification echoed in the ears of every player.

The chat forum exploded instantly, leaving all players bewildered.

"Didn't the ascension competition just end? How come there are ascension qualifications again?"

Chen Yang looked at the full moon on the horizon, and a guess began to form in his mind.

"Zhao Changming, he succeeded?"
