"Host has made contact with node character Grant Ward, unlocking the second teleportation qualification!"
The moment Li Qingyuan shook hands with Ward, the system's emotionless notification immediately appeared in his mind.
"Holy shit!"
Ward watched as the young man's complexion instantly changed from red to white, then from white to green. He suddenly wondered if the other person knew the legendary skill of changing faces?
However, Li Qingyuan had no time or energy to chat with Ward now. The system had already begun to teleport him.
"Detected that the host is preparing to transport a living being. Do you wish to consume a Break-World Teleportation Scroll?"
???
There's even this option?
In the previous story world, he had indeed considered bringing someone back with him when he returned, to see if it was possible. However, considering his limited strength at the time, he decided against it, as it would be difficult to handle if he actually brought someone back.
Anyway, according to his plan, he was going to go to Hell's Kitchen or Queens in a few days to see if he could encounter those relatively weak street heroes, such as Daredevil, who was pretending to be blind, or Jessica Jones, before she became the untouchable Purple Man.
But who knew, this guy in front of him was actually qualified to open a world?
This son of a bitch... wasn't he a villain?
"Confirmed, confirmed!" But there was no time for him to think so much now. God knows what world this teleportation would take him to; bringing one more person meant one more layer of insurance.
Moreover, although this guy in front of him was a bastard, his skills were absolutely top-notch. Even those weak superheroes probably wouldn't be able to beat him.
"The host does not have a dimensional breach teleportation scroll. Attached teleportation failed!"
As a wave of dizziness washed over him again, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but start cursing.
Seriously, what's the point of all this? Are you trying to mess with me or what?
But even after he'd cursed his way through the entire Three Character Classic, the system remained unresponsive.
As the dizziness slowly faded, Li Qingyuan realized that yelling at a mechanical life form was pointless, only making him furious. He could only resign himself to examining his surroundings.
He seemed to be in a large supermarket?
Rows of shelves lined both sides, packed with all sorts of goods, and there were quite a few people around him, browsing and shopping.
Because of the time freeze, everyone's movements looked utterly ridiculous.
But Li Qingyuan looked carefully for a long time and didn't see anyone he knew, which made him feel a little puzzled.
What exactly was this scene? He had no memory of it at all!
Fortunately, the main quest immediately cleared up the confusion in his mind.
'Main Quest: Survive!
The Mist from another dimension has enveloped the town. The monsters within will begin slaughtering the town's residents. Please survive in this crisis-ridden town. Objective: Survive for seven days to complete the mission. No mission reward.
Side Quests: For every ten town residents who survive after seven days, you will receive an additional free attribute point. If Billy Raymond, Ms. Amanda, Mrs. Carmody, Sari the cashier, Principal Reppla, Ollie the supermarket manager, Lawyer Norton, and Mrs. Marjorie survive, you will receive one free attribute point for each of them.'
He had been a bit puzzled, but after seeing this main quest, he immediately understood what world he had transmigrated into.
The Mist!
The film's plot involved a beautiful inland American town that was suddenly enveloped by the Mist one day. The protagonist, David Raymond, and his son, Billy Raymond, along with other characters, were trapped in the town's only large supermarket.
The Mist was filled with a constant stream of monsters, terrifying creatures from other dimensions with bizarre sizes and dangerous abilities. Meanwhile, the people trapped in the supermarket were being manipulated by a self-proclaimed prophetess, who claimed the disaster was a punishment from God.
Finally, the protagonist and a small group decided to make a run for it, hoping to find a way out. After a harrowing escape, they managed to get into a car with the protagonist's son and three others, and drove towards the edge of town.
This could have been a standard Hollywood plot, but the damn director pulled a cruel trick on the protagonist at the end.
After the car ran out of gas, roars of countless monsters echoed from the mist. To ensure a peaceful end for those with him, the protagonist used his remaining four bullets to kill his son and the other three survivors, then stepped out of the car, ready to face the unknown terror.
And then?
The director played a cruel joke. The mist began to dissipate, and the military was restoring order. The roars of the monsters had been the sounds of them being killed by the military.
Thus, the protagonist's act of heroism saved no one, and he ended up killing his own son. It was a complete tragedy.
Because it was a low-budget film, there were no big-name stars, and the special effects were minimal. The so-called mist monsters were barely visible, and the main plot revolved around the darkness of the human heart. You could see it as a monster movie or as a character study.
But because comments have always been more exciting than the actual movie, this originally mediocre film, after being analyzed by a group of online Chinese netizens, suddenly became a so-called groundbreaking work of the Cthulhu revival genre. These netizens seriously analyzed the film in a variety of ways, their arguments so convincing that it made you want to curse.
"Seven days? That's four days more than the original movie!" Li Qingyuan couldn't help but ponder after looking at the task description.
He remembered that in the original story, the army began to counterattack and retake the town on the third day of The Mist. But now the task description was seven days, indicating that the damned system had secretly increased the difficulty again.
However, judging from the fact that the task reward was zero, it seemed that if he only wanted to get through this mission safely, he should be able to coast to victory.
But he wasn't here just for a vacation!
He knew that Hydra was already watching him. Although he didn't necessarily dislike Hydra, that was based on the premise that he held an advantage or at least had an equal partnership.
He didn't want to be bossed around by a bunch of lunatics!
So, this task really needed some serious thought!
After all, if he did well, he could get at least thirty free attribute points based on the current number of people in the supermarket and the nine targets.
Thirty free attribute points, he could probably go toe-to-toe with Captain America immediately!
Of course, getting that many attributes was just wishful thinking. No one dying? That was a joke.
