“Who are you?” as they entered the hotel, several people gathered with their weapons ready in hand, two to three of them even had guns.

“Consider us the search team” Chang Xia wasn’t panicked, nor was there a need for him to be, and curtly replied: “Someone entrusted us to enter the 7th domain to find a survivor and ensure their safety. Simply that”

After cautiously observing Chang Xia’s group for a while, they lowered their weapons, but still kept their guard up and said: “The second floor is our area. If there’s no issue, please do not approach the second floor. We don’t wish for there to be any conflict ”

After that, the group slowly retreated to the second floor without minding Fang Ze’s group any longer.

“Those two were probably police officers, regretfully...” Chang Xia didn’t say what he felt regretful about.

In theory, the police should be the ones to maintain peace and order when there was a disaster, but after finding out that they themselves had been discarded by the government, being able to protect their own people was already quite decent of them.

“This hotel doesn’t seem too bad, right?”

The group of eight followed the stairs up to the third floor, where everything was left neatly and orderly, as if someone had maintained this hotel even during this disaster.

Within the dimly lit corridor, everyone carefully observed their surroundings while walking slowly on the soft felt carpets, watching out for any mutated germs creatures that might abruptly spring to attack them.

Xiao Ba Fu carefully knocked on the frame of a painting with his dagger as they walked past, only to see that it tilted a bit from becoming off-center.

“The coast is clear, no issues found”

After a systematic check of the third floor and confirming that there were no issues, they picked out from double rooms that were right next to each other and delegated night guard duty among themselves.

However, no one seemed to notice that the tilted painting had become centered once again, as if an invisible hand had moved it.

Around 8-9 PM, another group of people arrived at the hotel.

It was almost as if this hotel had some sort of magic, those who walked by this area would notice this hotel without fail as they felt tired and wanted somewhere to rest.

Perhaps it was due to them being used to the living conditions of modern life, when having to choose between resting in a hotel or among a bunch of rubble, a hotel where everything was neat and tidy naturally became their first choice.

Among these two rooms , Zhang Zi Jie, Xiao Ba Fu, [Traffic Jam], and Zhang Wei were in one room; while the other room had Chang Xia, Fang Ze, Liu Shi, and Seven.

Lying on the bed, Zhang Zi Jie seemed to be dreaming of something unpleasant, he originally gained his Authority [Pothole] due to being a victim of one such disaster, and right now, he was having the same sensation of being sunken in while lying on the soft bed.

[Traffic Jam] and Zhang Wei were silently performing their nightguard duties. The two of them were also feeling incredibly tired, having to fend off those mimicking mutated germs creatures since noon.

“I’ll be going out for a smoke”

[Traffic Jam ] reported in a low voice to Zhang Wei before going out to the hallway and lit a cigarette. As the nicotine cleared his mind somewhat, he was about to make his way back inside when he abruptly lost his footing. The ground itself had turned into black mud and pulled him down while emitting a unique frequency to suppress the fluctuations of [Traffic Jam]’s Disasforce.

The ground gradually returned to silence, manifesting as the soft felt carpets once more. A hand proceeded to burst out from below with surging Disasforce. trying to destroy the black substance, but more of the substance swiftly gathered around the hand, completely suppressed the Disasforce fluctuations with their own unique frequency before soundlessly swallowed it up again.

While standing guard in his room, Zhang Wei felt something amiss, [Traffic Jam]’s smoke break had gone on for a bit too long. When he was about to call out and wake the two sleeping people up, the ground abruptly moved, manifesting tentacles that instantly wrapped around him, restraining his arms, legs, mouth, and nose to prevent him from making any loud noises.

His Disasforce surged forward to strike the tentacles, but couldn’t damage them too much, these tentacles seemed to have a certain level of Disasforce resistance, capable of mitigating the majority of the damage caused by Disasforce.

Even more terrifyingly, any and all Disasforce fluctuation was completely suppressed. Originally, Authority Holders of the government had undergone training to become extremely sensitive to Disasforce, capable of snapping out of their sleep if they sensed even a faint hint of Disasforce fluctuation.

But now, these black tentacles had the same property as a Disasforce suppression device, capable of masking Disasforce fluctuations.

They only had their superiors to blame for this, as they traded several secret research materials with Negary for various benefits, among them were the Disasforce sensing technology and the Disasforce material forging technology, both of which had been used by Negary to supplement his Spiritual Inception method.

However, there was also the Disasforce stabilization technology, which was actually the method to manufacture Disasforce suppression devices. While this wasn’t used for his technique, Negary still kept it in mind, as he knew technology to mask and hide Disasforce fluctuation would always come in handy.

Zhang Wei intensely struggled in order to cause a bit of commotion, but to no avail as he was eventually swallowed by the ground and vanished as well.

Following this, the two beds in the room were slowly taken over and sunk into the ground as well. The descent was gradual, but as they got close enough, tentacles sprouted from all around the bed to restrain their bodies and mouth, pulling them as well as their beds down below.

Only Zhang Zi Jie managed to notice anything due to his Authority, but couldn’t react in time before the tentacles grabbed and restrained him.

In the other room, Fang Ze and Liu Shi were responsible for night guard duty. Fang Ze scowled, as he felt this level of silence to be somewhat unnatural and uncomfortable.

“I’m going to check the other room, try to be careful” Fang Ze said in a whispering voice, then went out to the hallway. The dim hallway without lights didn’t affect Fang Ze’s vision, after achieving the first stage of release, he obtained an overall better physique.

While standing in the hallway, he kept feeling that something was out of place and decided to knock on the other room’s door. Not getting a response even after a while, Fang Ze’s expression changed and immediately used his immense Disasforce to break through the door and was greeted by an empty room.

Muttering’oh no’ to himself, he hurriedly returned to his own room by blasting the door open, only to see that the other side of the door wasn’t a room but instead black flesh.

When Fang Ze’s Disasforce attacked the black flesh, the expected complete disintegration didn’t occur, he did take out a huge chunk of the flesh but couldn’t completely destroy it, not to mention, it was rapidly regaining its shape.

The entire hotel began to come alive, the hallways morphed and twisted, the items inside strewn all around. Numerous tentacles extended from every imaginable angle and reached towards Fang Ze.

Fang Ze’s Disasforce kept on pouring out of his body and destroyed the black tentacles as well as everything around them. With a sizzling noise and blue smoke, the masses of broken tentacles were reabsorbed by the black flesh below, the hallway gradually shrunk smaller and smaller.

“This entire hotel is a huge mutated germ creature?” Fang Ze heavily scowled. After determining a general direction, his Disasforce surged forward again to blow open a path and immediately leapt out from the hotel.
