Even though the gathering place is in a state of retreat, small teams still venture out to clear the surrounding areas, collect resources, and eradicate zombies.
They have a certain degree of control over the nearby areas, but cannot guard against Hunters.
Ordinary people cannot accurately identify Hunters.
After returning to the station, Su Changxing had the Monkey King disperse the monkey sentinels to monitor the nearby situations, equivalent to adding an extra layer of security.
Not long after, Zhu Wenwu led his team back, covered in dust. Their outing, thanks to Zhu Wenwu, was highly efficient, achieving their expected goals in just a few hours.
A layer of thin sand covered the cracked stone slabs, not completely concealing last nightâs bloodstains, black mixed with a hint of red, noticeable upon closer inspection.
Su Changxing leaned against the stone platform downstairs, glanced at Zhu Wenwu next to him, and said, "How was it, did it work out?"
Zhu Wenwu went out specifically to familiarize himself with his ability, practicing on zombies, and his ability is very proactive, making it equally difficult to fully control.
After thinking, Zhu Wenwu replied, "No problem, my ability indeed allows for long-distance, long-time tracking, but I can only select one target."
Su Changxing nodded, his gaze deep and cold, saying:
"Hmm, that will do. Even though we are at a disadvantage, we cannot just sit and wait for death. Even rabbits will bite when cornered, let alone we are not animals."
Zhu Wenwuâs face was pale, frowning slightly as he exhaled slowly, saying: "Brother Su, I believe in you, it doesnât matter even if I die. After all, the world is already like this, living today doesnât guarantee tomorrow."
Su Changxingâs face twitched slightly, quietly saying: "I didnât ask you to throw your life away, donât talk nonsense."
Zhu Wenwu thought for a moment, saying: "But I feel like the things you do are very dangerous, at least for now, it seems that way."
It seems somewhat reasonable.
"······"
Reflecting a bit, Su Changxing thought he wasnât wrong, but many times, things go unwittingly to such a point, with not much room for choice.
After the Blood Moon, these Hunters were undoubtedly their biggest threat, and if the Hunters in this area united, their moderately sized gathering place wouldnât stand a chance.
The threat of a single Hunter far exceeds that of an Extraordinary Zombie.
Geng Yong, not far away, saw Su Changxing and was about to come over to greet him.
A young man next to him said, "Geng Yong, you know Leader Su? Didnât you just come to our gathering place?"
"Leader Su?"
Geng Yong was stunned, thinking that Su Changxing had entered the gathering place just today like him.
The young man, seeing Geng Yongâs confusion, explained:
"Our gathering place has two leaders, one is Huang Biao, Leader Huang, and the other is Su Changxing, Leader Su. Let me tell you, this Leader Su is extraordinarily powerful and has a high reputation in the gathering place. It was all thanks to him that we managed to hold the gathering place yesterday."
Geng Yong was dumbfounded, not expecting Su Changxing to already be a leader-level figure here, and thought it laughable that he was pulling others into his team before.
Then he looked at the young man, politely saying, "So I guess you must have been in the gathering place for a while, right?"
The young man smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Not quite, just a few days before you; my name is Yin Ke, from Shaanxi."
Geng Yong patted his shoulder, saying: "Then I really have to thank you, brother, haha, otherwise I might have ended up making a fool of myself."
Su Changxing also noticed Geng Yong from a distance, pensively saying:
"That person just joined the station today, but judging by my estimation, the probability of him becoming an Extraordinary is very high, he should also be someone who survived the Blood Moon World."
Zhu Wenwu showed a look of surprise on his face: "You mean heâs very likely to become an Extraordinary in the coming days."
Su Changxing thought about it and said: "Yeah, probably because of insufficient enhancement counts that itâs limiting him from becoming an Extraordinary."
Geng Yong came over, standing in front of Su Changxing, smiling broadly and saying: "Haha, Leader Su, apologies for my previous rudeness, hope youâll bear with me."
Su Changxing stood up, saying: "No need, just call me Su Changxing, besides Iâm not really a leader here."
Geng Yongâs eyebrow twitched, finding Su Changxingâs attitude a bit different from what he imagined, somewhat odd, smiling:
"Well, I do understand some things, in a doomsday, in chaos, rules matter, disrupting order always leads to problems."
Su Changxing found this person somewhat interesting, switching his tone, and said with a smirk:
"Tonight, action allocation will take place at the gathering place, and if youâre willing, youâll be assigned to the combat sequenceâs A team."
Geng Yong was kind of bemused, unable to keep up with Su Changxingâs pace, as the topic suddenly shifted to team allocations, about which he wasnât very informed, knowing only that there were many teams and that the treatment seemed to vary among them.
It seemed like A team received the best treatment.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then asked, "Why? I donât think I have anything special."
In the Blood Moon, he had acquired a special ability yet had not shared it with anyone, pondering that this was likely the superpower mentioned on forums.
Su Changxing, after pondering, said: "Since we joined the same gathering place, weâre on the same side, no need to hide... You have something special, and you should know that too."
This person knows about my superpower!
Geng Yongâs hair stood on end, suddenly feeling seen through, calming his demeanor, he said: "Can I refuse? It sounds quite dangerous."
Su Changxing popped a candy in his mouth, patting his shoulder, smiling:
"Of course, no one will force you. Joining A team indeed carries more risk, but as you said earlier, this is your best opportunity, and missing this chance, there wonât be another."
With a look of shock in his eyes, Geng Yong still asked, "Why? Can you tell me the reason?"
Su Changxingâs eyes were deep, as if an abyss, and he said, "Yes, just as you think. Joining A team will give you a chance to become an Extraordinary."
Extraordinary!
These three words exploded in Geng Yongâs mind like a spring gushing forth.
His pupils dilated, his breathing became heavy.
Su Changxing spoke plainly, leaving no ambiguity, like the whisper of a demon seducing him, yet what lay beneath was merely the lure of benefits and desires.
Feeling the pressure from Su Changxing, Geng Yong didnât hesitate, promptly said: "Leader Su, Iâm willing to join A team and contribute a small part of myself to the gathering place."
