Zhong Jueqing put the tattered hat on his head. His sunglasses were nowhere to be found, and his eyebrows turned gray-white, as if covered with frost. He remained silent for a while and then said:
"Kid, donât dwell on it. You shouldnât die here. Iâve figured it out; the Extraordinary are our future. So, you all need to leave this place, head to the city, and wait for the game to end."
"Leave this place!"
He repeated again.
Could it be that even the sharpest individual will eventually have their edges smoothed?
Su Changxing hadnât thought he would mean this, furrowing his brows and saying:
"This isnât like you... so many people have already died, at least we shouldnât give up in this place."
"..."
Zhong Jueqing suddenly burst into laughter:
"Ha ha, you really are something, thinking the same as me. At this moment, we can only gamble it all. Donât you agree?"
Zhong Jueqing was testing his attitude.
Perhaps he was also in a wavering status.
Su Changxing didnât know what kind of person could laugh fully in a desperate situation, but they must be extraordinary.
Su Changxing breathed out, laughing:
"I just find it crazy. Letâs head to the Energy Station entrance and take a look first. If we really have to go in, we canât waste time; best to act before the large-scale corpse outbreak."
Zhong Jueqing nodded, taking out a cigarette: "Do you want one?"
Su Changxing waved his hand, saying: "I donât smoke."
"Really not manly, huh."
Zhong Jueqing sighed to himself.
The head whispered mockingly in Su Changxingâs ear:
"Kid, heâs right. You shouldnât have come here; you saw that being from outside the world before, this place is not meant for you."
Ever since the previous scuffle with Geng Yong, the head became silent, for reasons unknown.
Su Changxing ignored it and asked:
"Do you know how he uses the Golden Seed to go in?"
"..."
The head was silent for a long time, seemingly pondering something, before it finally said:
"I know; itâs likely used to temporarily change oneâs aura to become similar to the Giant, thus avoiding the impact from the Energy Station."
Su Changxing was a bit stunned: "Youâve always known?"
In a more normal tone, the head said:
"Of course, but it doesnât apply to you. This method might only block part of it, maybe sixty or seventy percent. You should understand, those entering will still die inside."
Sixty or seventy percent?
Yet the weakening of influence should be more than this, like the power difference between a full-force punch and half-force punch isnât linear.
With a smile, Su Changxing said: "If I die, will you really die?"
The head replied sullenly: "What else?"
Su Changxing, until now, still didnât believe in the so-called âlife-sharingâ contract; nothingâs that easy.
Perhaps even if he died, the head wouldnât die.
These are things he silently assumed.
A pair of carbon-black hands, nearly crippled, were being carried forward by someone.
"Su Changxing!"
Qin Decang saw Su Changxing, showing surprise, and shouted:
"Didnât expect it to be you, but itâs not strange either. You really are remarkable, ha ha."
He knew that Su Changxing had single-handedly changed the battle today, even stopping the action of the massive Giant.
Su Changxing nodded, remembering this Security Bureau captain vividly, and said:
"Mm, where are Chen Ling and the others, havenât seen them."
Squinting, Qin Decang said: "You can guess, except for Sun Xiaochuan, everyone died; Iâm merely surviving."
Faint white circles appeared on his body.
Su Changxing examined him for a while, saying: "You have a chance to become an Extraordinary."
"What?"
Qin Decang thought he hadnât heard clearly.
Su Changxing repeated: "You have a chance to become an Extraordinary, could be soon, might take some time, but you likely wonât die here."
He noticed Qin Decangâs aura was infinitely close to an Extraordinary.
"Really?"
Qin Decang believed Su Changxing, yet showed no excitement: "That should be good, then."
...
The two reached the Giant.
Zhong Jueqing looked at the mountainous Giant before them and asked: "What happened to it, dead?"
Su Changxing shook his head: "No, just sleeping; yet itâs bound to die eventually, corroded by the environment here."
Zhong Jueqing nodded:
"So itâs affected by radiation too. Iâm rather curious how such mythical species was born.
Su Changxing thought for a while and said: "This isnât a product of this world at all."
Speaking, he climbed up the Giantâs leg in two steps, reaching the top, standing on the Giantâs shoulder.
The Giantâs eyes werenât fully closed but half-open, watching him with indifference, even though it was on the brink of death.
"Even a dead elephant canât escape being eaten by ants."
Su Changxing murmured to himself, drawing the silver revolver from his waist.
After the "Priest" left, the Giant had completely lost its ability to move; killing it or not was the same, the only difference lay in the Points.
Remarkably, yet reasonably, the Giant was worth an extensive fifteen thousand Points.
Due to these substantial Points, Su Changxing needed to kill the Giant, giving it a final send-off.
Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself completely.
Concentrating, he could control to a certain extent; the greater the damage multiplier, the larger the consumption for him.
The previous dispatch of the "Priest" at twenty-two times was basically the maximum power he could exert, not guaranteed every time.
[Concentrating: 400%]
Su Changxing pulled the trigger, a bullet surged out at inconceivable speed, striking the Giantâs forehead, blasting out a huge hole with some brown blood seeping out.
Such a massive hole compared to the Giant is nothing, like a tiny needle hole, but as long as the needle hole is deep enough, it can kill the Giant.
Zhou An followed the gunshot sound, looking over at the Giant, and was astonished:
"Brother Su is trying to kill the Giant."
Chang Yi nodded: "It should be; itâs best to kill such a thing if possible, otherwise, it unsettles me."
Zhou An grabbed the Flying Saber and threw it at the Giantâs toe, the next moment the Flying Saber got deflected, sticking into the ground.
He blinked: "So, can this thing be killed?"
Zhu Wenwu gnawed on a bag of jerky, pointing at a âtrackâ on the ground, said:
"You look at this, youâll understand; this isnât a mark left by firearms, itâs like something like a Laser Cannon, definitely not a handgun."
Zhou An raised his eyelids, saying: "So, what is Brother Su holding then?"
Zhu Wenwu was silent for a while, saying: "Revolver."
