"No."
Su Changxing shook his head and said, "We have other things to do."
Other things?
Lin Xiuyu was a bit puzzled, nodded, and said, "Alright, weâll keep in touch. There are some zombie-like creatures in the No-Manâs Land, but they seem to have very high intelligence, not weaker than us, so be careful."
Su Changxing nodded to show he understood and said, "Okay, weâll head out first."
Just as Su Changxing was about to turn and leave, Zhong Jueqing took out a piece of black metal leaf and handed it to him, saying:
"By the way, the team leader asked us to give this to you."
[Withered Duskleaf (Dingguan, Upper Rank): Transfers negative effects on the body, including injuries, can only be used once.]
It turned out to be an Extraordinary item, quite practical.
Su Changxing took the leaf without hesitation and said, "Oh, a good thing. If your team leader comes back alive, thank him for me."
The value of this item goes without saying, a top-level life-saving item.
Zhong Jueqing actually gave me such an item... Su Changxing put the leaf into his chest, thinking:
"Our people from the settlement will be stationed outside the danger zone, and the leader is called Huang Biao. You can contact him directly if needed."
Huang Biaoâs group has more than a hundred people, all elites from the settlement. Because of the large number, their travelling speed is quite slow.
Lin Xiuyu followed Su Changxing out of the room and asked with a smile, "Hey, any special tricks to becoming an Extraordinary?"
Su Changxing glanced sideways at him and said, "You have the potential to become an Extraordinary, but overly powerful superpowers can hinder becoming one."
The superpower on Lin Xiuyuâs body was obviously strong, and his eyes occasionally glowed blue as he spoke.
"Is that so?"
Lin Xiuyu sighed and said, "Sigh, if I have to die, I die, but I still donât want to turn into a zombie."
Su Changxing casually said, "Thatâs easy, just commit suicide before complete zombification."
"Suicide?"
Lin Xiuyuâs expression changed, he forced a smile and said, "Suicide isnât good either, in any case, I donât want to die."
Even though he said this, his tone was still quite relaxed.
Su Changxing smiled and confirmed, "No one wants to die, everyone wants to live."
Lin Xiuyu went on to remind:
"This is right on the edge of the danger zone, you can see it on the map, but the environment has changed a bit, so it might be hard to pinpoint the location. Itâs best to lock in your position from the start."
"Hmm, thanks for the reminder."
Su Changxing nodded, feeling Lin Xiuyu was very thoughtful and comprehensive, his thinking seemed more meticulous than it appeared.
Zhou An was standing at the door, chatting with a girl, looking quite familiar. When he saw Su Changxing coming, he turned and walked over.
"A friend?"
Su Changxing was surprised that Zhou An seemed to know people everywhere.
Zhou An laughed and said, "No, just chatting, consider her a stranger."
Su Changxing nodded and said, "Get ready, weâll be heading out in a bit."
Lin Xiuyu interjected, "If you need anything, just let me know, and weâll do our best to help."
Zhou Anâs eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he said, "Actually, yes, I need some more weapons, like flying sabers, the more the better. The material should be light."
His body was strapped with various flying sabers, and he had a bronze and delicate one at his waist, but it still wasnât enough.
Lin Xiuyu carefully sized up Zhou An and said, "Hmm, your ability should be related to throwing flying sabers, right? This should be simple, we probably have the necessary equipment. Let me arrange it, wait a minute."
Zhou An showed an expectant expression and laughed, "Haha, thatâs great, preferably small-sized flying sabers."
Lin Xiuyu thought for a moment and said, "Youâre talking about something like throwing darts?"
"Yes."
Zhou An nodded and said, "This kind of weapon is really hard to find, even on forums."
Ten minutes later, Lin Xiuyu came over carrying a flat black backpack and said, "How about this, itâs a bit heavy, but if itâs too much, remove some of it."
This backpack was different from usual ones, it had layers, and each layer held small-sized flying sabers or throwing darts.
Zhou An was surprised and said, "That was fast. This is great, at least enough for my consumption."
He tried wearing the backpack and said, "The weight is about right, not too heavy, and you can easily reach in to grab what you need, very convenient."
Zhu Wenwu, on the other hand, was quite practical, wearing a light bulletproof vest over his clothes, which was better than nothing.
By noon, Su Changxing led the two of them back on the road, heading out of the city, in a hurry.
Zhu Wenwu walked on the left, carrying a steel sword, and asked, "Whatâs our first target? To find those Security Bureau people?"
Su Changxing shook his head and said, "No, weâre first going to find someone to see if sheâs still alive."
Zhou An was puzzled, "Find someone? There are other people in the No-Manâs Land?"
Su Changxing jogged and said, "Yes, she went in earlier, but weâve lost contact with her now."
Shen Jinxuan had contacted him before but then never reached out again, not sure if itâs because signals are blocked or if sheâs dead.
However, he had a feeling that Shen Jinxuan should still be alive, because without some certainty, Shen Xuan wouldnât have entered that place.
Perhaps powerful superpower users have some resistance to radiation?
Su Changxing speculated that people like Shen Jinxuan were fundamentally different from ordinary superpower users, whether in terms of strength or other aspects.
Perhaps they are another form of existence, different from the Extraordinary, but above superpower users······
The air felt noticeably colder, and the weather suddenly changed, as if snow was falling from the sky.
Zhou An shivered, his face trembling with fat, and said, "Are we already in the danger zone? Whatâs falling from the sky, snow? But it seems like nothing is falling."
Here it felt like entering another world, darker, with a hazy atmosphere, like in a dream, at the deepest point of sleep.
Zhu Wenwu had a very solemn expression, his spirit seemed tense to the extreme, and he said, "Iâm getting a bad feeling, thereâs nothing around here, not even many zombies."
At a glance, the surrounding zombies were sparse and lacked vitality, looking sick, their skin a greenish color.
The unfamiliar environment could easily make people uneasy, Su Changxing felt it too, clearly sensing the eerie influence lingering around, like smoke, impossible to shake off, yet uncomfortable.
"Letâs move quickly, and try to get out within a day."
Su Changxing stated firmly.
