Damn, what kind of suicide artifact is this?
Xu Shu looked at the Tai Chu Scroll prop bag, the thing that looked like a mineral water bottle, and cursed under his breath for such ill fortune.
These past couple of days had truly been vomit-inducing.
He had finally leveled up to 6, hoping to go out and flex his muscles and hunt more monsters, level up even more.
But that very night, Narrow Sleeve Guanyin had paid him a visit, his head almost bashed in, not to ntion wasting a prop; the entire second floor of the prison was practically taken over by it.
And today was even more nauseating—this patrol team, as if struck with so kind of madness, had inexplicably ambushed and killed him.
What exactly were they after?
“Wait a second, that thod of dying, seems so familiar…”
Xu Shu suddenly grew alert and pondered carefully.
No pain at all, killed instantly with the journey ending imdiately, aning he was dead before his brain could even react.
Totally instant-killed without any ti to respond.
This was sothing even Narrow Sleeve Guanyin hadn’t managed to do.
And that familiar sense of déjà vu…
“Shit, I rember now, at the southwest bridge end, I also died in this inexplicable manner.”
“It must be them.”
“Could it be, they ca for this prison with Black Widow in it?
So they killed on sight anyone alive?”
“But what could be here that they would so desperately want, not allowing others to touch?”
“The most valuable thing is just an armory, doesn’t seem worth going so crazy as to kill on sight, right?”
“Unless…
unless Black Widow was deliberately kept here by them?
Now that sothing’s gone wrong, they’ve co to silence those involved?”
“I rember, the longest anyone’s been imprisoned by Black Widow is like, ten to twenty days now.”
“No wonder it’s been so long, but no patrol team has co to clear her out, could it be that she’s actually being bred here?”
“Tch tch tch, now I get it, you all are deep in conspiracy.”
The more Xu Shu thought about it, the colder his laughter beca.
To think that in such a human apocalypse, where common people can hardly find a place to survive under the oppression of monsters…
Yet the patrol soldiers, who should be guarding the peace, were they actually profiteering from this?
Hurting the people of the Wasteland?
Keep in mind, the patrol corps of the Wasteland are selected by the Supervision Bureau from the ranks of those in the Transcendent reserve.
In plain terms, these are the individuals with poor aptitude who, despite training, still can’t et the starting standards of the Transcendents.
Because they’ve used precious dicines to temper their bodies and practiced the Body Refining thod, they are physically much stronger than the average person and hence could finally beco patrol soldiers or part of the garrison.
In other words, these soldiers were all reared on the taxes paid by the city’s civilians, fattened on the blood and flesh of the ordinary people!
But now, they’re doing such dirty deeds, feeding the monsters with human flesh and blood?
This is beyond description, a total moral collapse, utterly unworthy of being called human!
“If you guys want to play this way, then don’t bla for not being polite.”
A murderous intent began to rise in Xu Shu, yet his gaze beca calm as the surface of a still lake.
All of this was just speculation based on his sudden death.
Whether the truth was as he suspected, he would find out after just one more check.
“Tai Chu Scroll, start the journey for !”
An aura of mystery and murderous intent enveloped Xu Shu.
——
[Checking current status…]
[Check complete.]
[Your rage is subsiding, and you’ve reflected on your mistake in seeing the patrol soldiers as the good guys.
You knew to beware of the villains of the Wasteland but forgot that many a villain often wears a sheepskin.]
[You realize that anger only makes things worse, you laugh rather than rage knowing that they already have a death wish—maybe one day, you’ll bring down the entire damn world alone!]
[Gu Pan was also a qualified contender, and she even acquired a Promotion Drive, advancing much further on this path than those patrol soldiers.]
[If the qualification selection were like academic studies, those patrol soldiers would at most have graduated from high school, while Gu Pan has at least a college degree.]
[You inquired about the patrol soldiers’ configuration, she didn’t understand why you would ask, but still told you to the best of her ability.]
[“The usual layout for a patrol team is a 1 11 structure, that is one First Order Transcendent leading the team, plus 11 ordinary soldiers who were once in Transcendent reserve, making 12 people in a column.”]
[“It’s worth ntioning that the leading Transcendent is also of the least potential, only those who are judged by the Supervision Bureau as having no hope of breaking through to Second Rank are stationed in the army, and patrolling the Wasteland is relatively inconspicuous work.”]
[“Such a configuration, as long as they’re not too careless, is more than enough to sweep all kinds of monsters on the Wasteland, of course, maybe except for encounters like yesterday’s with a Primordial Spirit,” Gu Pan said in detail.]
[You understood, you walked to the prison entrance, you didn’t rush to go out, you wanted to verify sothing.]
[Soon, you heard noises outside the door, the patrol team went straight to the prison entrance.]
[“Is anyone there?
This is the Patrol Team, we received a ssage that there are survivors here, we’ve co to rescue, respond if you receive this.”]
[“We’ll wait thirty seconds, if there’s no answer, we’ll proceed to blast through, repeat, are there any survivors inside?” they shouted outside using a gaphone.]
[Regarding this, you choose: ?]
You laughed, they had started off pretending to be good samaritans, but if I don’t open the door, they’ll just break in, huh?
They’re indeed coming for !
Their acting is so unconvincing!
The corners of Xu Shu’s mouth turned up in a dangerous arc.
“So be it…”
You chose to actively open the safety door from the inside!
“Ladies and gentlen, I’ve been longing for stars and moon, and you’ve finally arrived!” Your face is filled with excitent, your gaze pure and kind.
As for acting skills, they’re not even fit to carry your shoes.
“Are you the only one trapped here?” Zeng Gui asked you after identifying his identity.
Looking at his pleasant face, you feel a spite in your heart, but for the sake of the greater plan and to lure the tiger out of the mountains, you intentionally lie:
“There’s another person, he’s trapped in a cell.
I found so keys, but they’re incomplete, I couldn’t rescue him.”
They have no suspicions, dismounting from their vehicle, all heavily ard, wary of their surroundings, they follow you into the prison.
You make sure to keep your body sideways to them, this ti you won’t leave your back exposed to these guys.
“Officer, it’s been a tough journey, have so water.” You take out many bottled waters you’ve prepared in advance and hand them over.
Oh my God, you’ve already mixed ‘Self-cutting ridians’ into them, they look indistinguishable if not examined closely.
The Patrol Soldiers are a bit weary, and naturally won’t refuse.
They thank you one after another, praising you as a brave young man.
The Patrol Soldiers drank one by one, water and food being the most precious supplies in the Wasteland, this was equally important for them.
“Short on water, officer?
I’ll get so more, this place used to be a warehouse, there’s plenty of food stored.” You walk towards the corner of the wall, where you’ve prepared your javelin- the steel reinforcent.
“It’s okay, young man, let’s rescue the other person first, we’ll take you to the shelter, ti is pressing.
Hmm, this water is really sweet.” Zeng Gui also unscrewed the cap and took a sip, urging you on as he did so.
Of course it’s sweet, because his bottle is the sweet ‘Self-cutting ridians,’ everyone else’s are just water, only his is different, because you know the strongest enemy is him.
This bottle of “Self-cutting ridians” was opened and used by him, so the determination is effective.
His voice is thick, carrying the sentintality of a mature middle-aged man, but you remain unmoved, because you know he’s about to die.
You face them, standing in the corner, ready to start the massacre once they fall into disorder, and you with a smile say, “Welco death, this is the consequence for ambushing .”
Following your words, a violent explosion ensued!
The fierce blue flas devoured seven or eight Patrol Soldiers, including Zeng Gui, they couldn’t even let out a scream before being instantly lted by the flas, leaving no traces of bodies.
?
Seeing the scene on the screen that resembled a gas explosion, Xu Shu was taken aback for a mont.
Does ‘Self-cutting ridians’ an self-destruction?
Wait, no, that’s not right!
This wasn’t caused by ‘Self-cutting ridians’!
There was an ambush from the outside!
Soone attacked with sothing like a laser cannon!
“We’re under attack!
Enemy attack!
Be on guard!”
The surviving two or three Patrol Soldiers roar, rapidly forming up to counterattack while shouting to each other:
Lao Jiang, you go save people—Ah~
Take those two kids and leave first—Ah~
I—Ah~
The three’s screams were almost simultaneous, they were slightly luckier than their companions, their heads exploded, at least their bodies were left behind.
…
Xu Shu inhales sharply.
Damn!
I got it wrong!
My timing of death last ti was too coincidental, just as I turned my back to the Patrol Team, causing the misunderstanding.
Now, I’ve discovered the real murderer—the one who killed at the bridgehead— is soone else.
And right now, they’re hidden in the darkness, slaughtering the people inside the prison!
Xu Shu saw that the terrifying blue fla explosion was what caused his instant death without any pain.
The whole person was instantly dissolved; what pain could there be?
Looking at the whole Patrol Team being wiped out in an instant, thinking about their last words, they were actually trying to take you ‘civilians’ out first, you can’t help but feel both guilty and relieved.
You’re relieved that the future now is simulated, you’ve learned everything in advance.
If you were to mistakenly poison and kill Zeng Gui in reality, you would definitely feel remorseful for life.
But now, it’s your ti for revenge.
‘Snipers, gunners,’ from the recent explosion and the last deaths of the three Patrol Soldiers, you preliminarily gauge the enemy’s general direction, to the southwest of the prison, that is the bottom left of the “grass” character.
The enemy has arrived, and waiting to die is not in your character; you choose to take the initiative to strike.
You reach the side of the safety door, using the wall as a cover, preparing to pick up the firearms scattered on the ground.
You’re cautious, knowing that rushing out in the face of a sniper is akin to suicide.
Your initial plan involves getting Gu Pan to help you, you clearly rember her saying that her firearms score is top-notch.
You may not understand firearms, but you pick up what looks like a powerful sniper rifle, planning to have Gu Pan use it to counter-snipe the enemy, while you provide support and look for an opportunity to attack from behind.
This is the only way to face a sniper hidden in the shadows.
Suddenly, the wall beside your head cracks, a spiraling bullet penetrates it, hitting your head with precision.
The mont the bullet pierces the wall, your first reaction is—
