Zhu Wenwu forced a smile, beads of sweat of various sizes dotting his forehead, and said:
"Sorry, I lost my composure... In this world, itâs not surprising for anyone to die, especially Ordinary People."
Su Changxing stared at him, pressed his lips together, and said in a deep voice:
"In the Energy Station of the No-Manâs Land, there should be some kind of pill developed by Shield Company before the apocalypse, which can suppress the influence from the Energy Station, meaning it can delay the speed of corpse transformation."
"If we can simultaneously stop the Energy Station, Zhu Xin Xueâs condition should improve, at least she can hold on for thirty days without a problem."
Zhu Wenwuâs eyes brightened, he nodded, smiled, and said:
"Donât worry, this time I will give it my all, even if I have to die, so what, haha."
Zhou An, sitting in the chair, agreed, "Yeah, even if we die, so what, many people have died already."
The atmosphere became more lively.
"Da da da~"
The sound of stiff footsteps clashing with the thick wooden floor came from outside the door.
Lin Xiuyu pushed open the door, glanced at the situation inside, yawned, and said:
"By the way, when are we leaving? If we wait any longer, it will be evening... my leaderâs body will be cold by then."
Zhou An blinked and tentatively asked, "Are you cursing your team leader?"
Lin Xiuyu twitched the corner of his mouth, annoyed, and said, "Iâm obviously urging you to hurry up."
Zhou An crossed his arms, stretched his neck, squinted, and scrutinized him, saying:
"You donât seem to be an Extraordinary... in such a rush to court death?"
Lin Xiuyu was the only non-Extraordinary person going on this mission, and the only one not from their settlement.
Huang Biao prohibited non-Extraordinary people from the settlement from going as it would only add to the casualties.
Lin Xiuyu looked indifferent, "I donât want to live anymore, just want to die, any problem?"
Zhou An was speechless, thinking this person talks like a slippery eel that could verbally kill someone.
Su Changxing interrupted the bickering between the two and said, "Weâre leaving now, joining with those people of yours?"
Lin Xiuyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Theyâll take us to the junction and then return."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Then thereâs no need, have them go back directly, they donât need to take us."
"Alright then."
Lin Xiuyu nodded and turned to leave.
He walked upright, appearing to have undergone systematic military training.
Thereâs also another suspicion, why is Lin Xiuyu following them, logically speaking, itâs not necessary unless...
Only the Extraordinary from the settlement are involved in this mission.
Perhaps luck and unluckiness are not definitive, those who havenât gained powerful abilities at least donât need to take such great risks.
However, those who havenât become Extraordinary face the danger of corpse transformation.
Su Changxing paused, turned to look at Shen Jinxuan, this dazed girl, stepped forward, and softly said:
"Your condition is relatively stable, you can hold out until the game ends. But be careful, she canât hold out anymore, instead, Jin needs your restraint."
He was about to enter that place again...
The light was dim, Shen Jinxuan felt she couldnât see Su Changxingâs expression clearly, it was very vague, perhaps he was inherently a vague person.
She remembered the first time Su Changxing stood in front of her with a Steel Saber, exuding intense killing intent, which was quite terrifying.
But she didnât feel scared.
He was like a tiny spark hidden in the unknown darkness, unseen, yet felt.
Everyone had qualities that could be discerned in detail.
Shen Jinxuan flashed a sweet smile, slightly tilted her head, and said, "Mm, Mr. Murderer, remember to come back alive, okay?"
Su Changxing looked at her expression, was momentarily stunned, then spoke with a serious face:
"If we donât send any news in four days, take Zhu Xin Xue and head towards the city, find a place to hide, and wait for the end of the game."
"Mm."
Shen Jinxuan replied gloomily, feeling as if this was a permanent farewell, fleeting.
Su Changxing pondered for a bit, then reminded her, "Donât enter the No-Manâs Land, it will surely lead to death, a meaningless death."
After speaking, he glanced at Zhu Xin Xue, who was still lying on the bed, and turned to leave.
The afternoon wind was strong, the sky not bright, cloaked by layers of white mist, oppressive, stifling, and cold, most peopleâs expressions were severe and heavy.
Lin Xiuyu walked at the front, carrying a small blue backpack, with a faint smile on his face:
"Sigh, how long do you think I can last inside? Maybe I can reach the position of our leader."
Yes, he indeed seemed like he was on a sightseeing trip.
Su Changxing gave him a scrutinizing look, calmly said:
"To be precise, you might not even make it halfway past, according to our estimation of people weâve met before, you might fall halfway... moreover, the radiation from the Energy Station is continuously intensifying, you might not even make it that far."
Lin Xiuyuâs expression remained unchanged, he seemed to have anticipated it, his pupils occasionally reflected a bright blue light, he closed his eyes, touched his brow, and said:
"Do you really think we are afraid of death? Before completing the mission, life and death donât matter."
"Mm, but I donât believe it, your eyes have already given you away."
Su Changxingâs lips curled into a faint smile as he said lightly.
"...Alright, I admit my mental pressure is indeed a bit high."
Lin Xiuyuâs expression relaxed, helplessly said:
"But donât put pressure on me either, Iâm important in this operation, at least before fully achieving the goal, I canât die... even if I have to carry you on my back to get me through."
Seeing Lin Xiuyuâs rogue-like manner, Su Changxingâs eye twitched, and he firmly said:
"That depends on the situation, if not possible, Iâd leave you behind."
"Hey, donât."
Lin Xiuyu quickened his pace to catch up, hurriedly said, "Iâm serious, only with me here can we achieve shared information in the environment of the No-Manâs Land."
"Mm, mm."
Su Changxing seemed absent-minded, turned back to the group, and said:
"Weâve now entered the danger zone, donât fall behind, once in the No-Manâs Land, phones will be in a semi-disconnected state."
He observed that including Huang Biao, they all had serious expressions, and he said:
"Of course, donât be too tense, we Extraordinary can operate in the No-Manâs Land for short durations without a problem, we just need to be careful of the ambushes by the New human."
Just then, the phone vibrated again, it was a message from someone.
Su Changxing picked up the phone to check, paused, it was Mu Qing.
Why her?
Mu Qing: Itâs best you donât enter the No-Manâs Land, somethingâs wrong, it seems like a trap.
What the hell?
This message was extremely abrupt.
He hadnât been in contact with Mu Qing since then, but now suddenly received such a message.
Very strange.
Su Changxing immediately stopped, replied: What do you mean?
