Chapter 10

After Tang Tian walked out of the private room, he came to the outside hall, which had been cleaned up, but only a small area. The area near the stairwell was still in a mess.

After all, there were hundreds of zombie corpses piled up there, and those girls didn't dare to get close.

Tang Tian came to the window, looking at the eerie school, listening to the roars hidden in the darkness and the faint cries, feeling a mix of emotions.

Who would have thought that the world would change so drastically in such a short time?

Who would have thought that he, who was struggling for life just half a day ago, was now idle, not knowing where to go tomorrow or what to do? Tang Tian didn't know, and at this moment, he seemed quite lost, unsure of what to do in this chaotic world.

If the world hadn't changed, he might have studied hard, found a job with a not-so-high salary after graduation, married, had children, bought a house, and become a lifelong mortgage slave, living a simple and ordinary life.

But now everything has changed, becoming unknown and confusing...

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

While Tang Tian was staring out the window in a daze, a sound came from the darkness.

Hearing this sound, Tang Tian quickly composed himself.

Now wasn't the time to sigh; danger could come at any moment, and there were countless lethal threats in the darkness.

Following the source of the sound, Tang Tian felt his way in that direction. He had to figure out what it was, or he wouldn't be able to sleep soundly. After all, in this unfamiliar world, anything could happen.

The squeaking sound never stopped. Tang Tian followed it all the way to the kitchen, which puzzled him. He had already searched the entire second floor during the day and found no dangerous things.

Relying on his skills, Tang Tian quickly approached the kitchen door.

Squeak, squeak, squeak! Bang!

Just as Tang Tian approached the kitchen door, the squeaking sound suddenly intensified, and a black shadow burst through the wooden door, lunging at him.

Tang Tian had been on high alert. As soon as the black shadow broke through the door, he dodged to the side.

Under the light of the canteen, Tang Tian finally saw what it was.

A giant rat! Its body was nearly a meter long, and with its tail, it was over two meters long!

Sigh! Tang Tian drew a cold breath. When did rats become so huge? The Real Vision skill quickly activated, and Tang Tian obtained information about the rat.

"Mutated Rat, Level 2, highly aggressive, skilled at hiding in the dark."

It was actually a Level 2 monster, no wonder it was so fast. Tang Tian sighed in his heart, feeling a sense of crisis. In just half a day, a Level 2 monster had appeared. What would happen if more time passed?

There was no time to think. As the mutated rat lunged at Tang Tian again, he took a step to the side and drew the imitation Jinyiwei saber he carried with him.

As the mutated rat and Tang Tian passed each other, Tang Tian's saber slashed the rat's back.

Rip!

Tang Tian's slash didn't kill the mutated rat but only left a gash on its body.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Clearly, the slash had enraged the mutated rat. It quickly twisted its body and lunged at Tang Tian again.

"Xiao Ying, help!" Tang Tian quickly shouted.

As soon as Tang Tian spoke, the hidden Phantom Assassin appeared behind the mutated rat like a shadow. The gray dagger in his hand stabbed into the rat's back, sinking to the hilt.

"You have dealt a Phantom Strike with your summoned Phantom Assassin," Tang Tian received this prompt.

Without hesitation, Tang Tian took advantage of the moment when the mutated rat's movement slowed after being attacked and used all his strength to stab the rat's open mouth with his saber.

The one-meter-long blade almost completely pierced through, finally emerging from the back of the rat's head.

"You have killed a common Level 2 mutated rat," Tang Tian received this prompt in his mind.

Bang!

Pulling out the long saber, the mutated rat fell to the ground, and a white light emerged from its body, eventually entering Tang Tian's body. A few black Demon Coins also dropped from the rat's body, but nothing else.

Tang Tian picked up the Demon Coins, four in total, and noticed that his experience points had increased by 50.

After eliminating the mutated rat, Tang Tian was still shaken. The rat's speed was too fast. If not for the Phantom Assassin's help, he would have been seriously injured, and if there had been two rats, he would have died.

Hmm?

At this moment, Tang Tian noticed that the Phantom Assassin, who usually hid in the dark after each battle, did not do so this time. Instead, it came to the mutated rat's corpse, extended its claw-like hand, and performed a gesture on the rat's head. A black light, different from the experience white light, emerged from the rat's head and was absorbed by the Phantom Assassin.

Not knowing what had happened, Tang Tian checked the Phantom Assassin's attributes and found that its experience points had increased by 50.

Tang Tian quickly understood. The Phantom Assassin was summoned from hell and couldn't level up like him. It needed to absorb the souls of living creatures to level up. The zombies they had killed before were technically dead humans, so the Phantom Assassin didn't gain any experience.

Understanding this, Tang Tian quickly left the kitchen. He didn't want to risk another group of mutated rats coming out, which he couldn't handle.

"What happened?" Zhang Ling asked as soon as Tang Tian returned to the private room.

The noise had alarmed everyone, and they quickly surrounded him as soon as he arrived.

"Nothing, just killed a two-meter-long rat. It's over there. If you're interested, you can take a look, but I advise you to quickly return to the private room and not come out. Not only humans have turned into zombies, but animals are also mutating. That rat is a good example," Tang Tian said with a serious expression.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, everyone's faces changed, but no one ran to see the mutated rat's corpse. Instead, they all turned and entered the private room, locking the door tightly.

Tang Tian didn't care about them and went into a private room, closing the door to rest. After a tiring day, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't dare to wander around in the darkness, where countless dangers were hidden.

Lying on the sofa in the private room, he couldn't fall asleep due to his troubled mind. Around midnight, a voice in his mind woke him up, and his face turned pale.

"Foolish humans, do you feel excited? Is this game fun? Congratulations to those who bravely fought; you have all received corresponding rewards. But don't be too proud. I tell you, this is just the beginning. Those cowardly and foolish humans, because of your fear, have missed an opportunity. Tomorrow, you will find that your foolishness will make your survival even harder. Ha ha ha, struggle, foolish humans. The true transformation by gods and demons has begun. Tomorrow, you will discover that the world has completely changed. Countdown: 04:59:059..."

Receiving this prompt, Tang Tian felt time freeze, and then everything went black as he lost consciousness...

After this night, the world underwent a tremendous change...
