Roar…
The Darkseeker's roar echoed again. This time, it wasn't just at the door; Will felt the entire villa shaking with crashing sounds.
Bang, bang…
"Damn it… Damn it…"
Will once again raised his M4 rifle, his gaze fixed on the door where the Darkseekers were most likely to break in, as the sounds from there were louder and clearer.
Bang…
A pale arm directly smashed through the wooden door and reached into the house.
Yang Tao, who originally just wanted to watch the show, glanced at the mini-map.
"Looks like I need to find some fun for these Darkseekers…"
He walked straight upstairs. Will quickly asked, "Where are you going? Come with me to the basement; it's safer there."
The so-called basement was also Will's laboratory, where the Darkseeker leader's daughter was held captive on a sickbed.
"Since you don't want to destroy this world, then I'll go find some fun for these guys…"
As for the Darkseekers being human before, Yang Tao's view was completely different from Will's. He believed that the moment they transformed into Darkseekers, they had already died.
Now, they had become another species, a new species completely different from humans.
"Hey… Don't be impulsive!"
Seeing Yang Tao still heading upstairs, Will couldn't help but curse under his breath, then picked up his weapon and followed Yang Tao upstairs.
"Sasha!"
Sasha, who was previously crouching on the ground, immediately stood up and ran to Will's side.
"Brother, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Summon a Wither from the Nether to find some fun for these Darkseekers…"
Will was regretting it now. He strongly suspected whether Yang Tao was high, and if it was worth putting himself in danger for such a mentally unstable person.
But now he had already followed.
Soon, the two arrived on the third floor, but there was also a banging sound coming from the third-floor ceiling.
A Darkseeker smashed through the skylight and poked its head in, seeing Yang Tao and Will, it opened its gaping maw and roared.
Bang.
Yang Tao's shotgun directly blew the Darkseeker's head into a pulp.
"Screaming, screaming, all you know is screaming!"
Will was startled by the shotgun that suddenly appeared in Yang Tao's hand. No matter how big an M500 was, it was still just a revolver. This was a shotgun now…
Truly gifted.
The gunshots clearly stimulated the Darkseekers outside, and their roars rose and fell.
Seeing this, Yang Tao turned to Will and said, "You be careful. I'm going out for a bit, I'll be right back."
Before Will could say anything.
Yang Tao lightly leaped out through the skylight the Darkseeker had broken.
The rooftop was very lively, with at least a dozen Darkseekers having climbed up.
"Having a party? Do you mind if I bring a big guy to play with you?"
Roar…
While teasing the Darkseekers, Yang Tao took out soul sand and Wither Skeleton heads from his backpack and placed them on the rooftop.
After the third black Wither Skeleton head was placed on the soul sand, a soul-piercing roar echoed in the minds of all living creatures around.
This caused the previously noisy Darkseekers to quiet down.
All the Darkseekers' gazes were drawn to the Wither summoned from the soul sand and Wither Skeleton heads.
A creature that looked extremely strange in their eyes, now glowing with blue light, its already three-meter-tall body continuously expanding with time.
The Wither is a flying, three-headed skeletal undead creature whose body constantly emits smoke particles. It is the second Boss creature in the game after the Ender Dragon, and also a utility creature.
Yang Tao looked at the health bar that appeared in his vision, a smile on his face. When the Wither was first summoned, it only had half its health. Its health bar would continuously increase until full.
During this process, the Wither cannot move and is invincible. When its health is full, it will cause a large explosion.
"I wish you a good time…"
While the Darkseekers were distracted, Yang Tao left a message and jumped down through the broken skylight.
As he left, he saw out of the corner of his eye that more than ten Darkseekers were all rushing towards the Wither, clearly intending to strike first.
However…
'They're so eager to die…'
The big explosion after the Wither's health is full is no joke.
As soon as he returned inside, Will immediately asked, "Did you hear that just now? A strange sound. What did you do?"
Yang Tao smiled and said, "I just said, I summoned a monster from the Nether. Also, let me tell you, your house might not survive for long…"
"Ask any questions later. The Wither is about to wake up. If it targets you, it'll be trouble."
With that, Yang Tao walked down the stairs. Will, seeing this, could only follow behind, running downstairs together.
As soon as he reached the first floor, he heard a violent explosion from upstairs, then said with a shocked expression, "Hey, did you plant a bomb on my roof?"
"You'll know in a bit!"
Boom… Boom…
Accompanied by the Wither's very distinctive roar, there were continuous explosions and the screams of the Darkseekers from outside.
Boom… Boom…
The two ran to the underground laboratory.
Will could no longer suppress the doubt in his heart. Self-deception was completely useless now. He stared at Yang Tao, who seemed to be listening intently, and asked, "You… who exactly are you? What exactly did you do?"
"Me?"
Yang Tao looked at Will and smiled, "Just an otherworldly traveler looking for fun. As for what I did…"
"I summoned a Wither from the Nether. It's an undead creature from the Nether that hates all living things, including you and me."
"Although Darkseekers eat people, they are still living creatures."
"I think they're having a great time playing with the Wither right now…"
Will felt his once intelligent brain was now completely inadequate.
"Nether? Wither?"
Yang Tao nodded gently.
"Believe it or not, this is the truth. Also, let me tell you, this world is likely beyond saving, if nothing unexpected happens."
"I think you should know that 90% of humans in this world died directly without going through the mutation process, 9.9% turned into Darkseekers, and less than 0.1% of people have resistance in their bodies."
"Even so, those with resistance were basically torn apart by the mutated Darkseekers at the beginning of the disaster."
"By this calculation, the total number of surviving humans worldwide is even less than 1 million. With the evolution speed of Darkseekers, they will soon replace humans and become the new rulers of Earth."
Will heard Yang Tao's words and couldn't help but retort, "I can develop an antidote, and those Darkseekers can return to normal. That way, we can…"
"Robert, face reality. Darkseekers already have intelligence. You think you're saving them, but in their eyes, you're killing them."
Yang Tao pointed at the photo on the wall and the Darkseeker lying on the sickbed, advising, "This Darkseeker is the Darkseeker leader's relative. They came here to save it."
"Otherwise, do you think your house could really stop those abnormal Darkseekers?"
Will's entire spirit seemed to have been drained, and he slumped onto the laboratory floor.
"Then… then everything I did before was in vain? What should I do?"
"Of course, continue your research. Cure all the Darkseekers that can be cured. For those that can't be cured, then it's physical treatment. I told you all this not to make you feel pity."
"It's to tell you not to be soft-hearted. Darkseekers and humans are two different species. Kill when you should kill, save when you should save."
"Ah???"
