Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Return
In less than half an hour, Wu Jie treated everyone’s injuries.
anwhile, her appearance underwent a startling change. She was no longer frail; her face and body beca slightly plump, showing a hint of beauty. Her eye sockets were no longer sunken, and there was a bit more flesh around her knuckles.
A head spoke near Su Changxing’s ear: "She seems to be showing signs of paving a path, possibly due to the influence of that mysterious item."
Paving a path?
Su Changxing noticed that paving a path to beco an Extraordinary didn’t seem as difficult as he had imagined. He had already t two people: Zhou An and Wu Jie.
What seed missing was ti. He was unsure whether they could beco Extraordinary within thirty days.
However, he guessed it was still quite challenging. Thirty days was too short to achieve such a life transition, requiring accumulation or a certain degree of external force.
Chen Ling’s injuries had mostly healed. Although he was able to walk, he was sowhat limping, but it didn’t pose much of a problem for traveling.
Near dawn, several people in the room had already fallen asleep. Lu Yu was still standing guard outside. Qin Decang, who appeared to be smiling, was actually worried and couldn’t sleep.
Su Changxing sat beside him and quietly asked, "Regarding the Doomsday Ga, does your Security Bureau have any further understanding?"
Qin Decang glanced at Su Changxing, thought for a mont, and said, "Actually, we had already anticipated it before, and even made so preparations."
Su Changxing frowned and said, "Anticipated? Did you foresee the arrival of the Doomsday Ga in advance?"
Qin Decang shook his head and said, "No, soone predicted the arrival of the doomsday, and everything that person predicted before was correct, so we believed him. We just didn’t expect the so-called doomsday to be like this."
Su Changxing was surprised to realize that what Chenxi’s people had said was true; soone truly foresaw the Doomsday Ga’s arrival. He said, "Is this superpower?"
Qin Decang hesitated for a mont and said, "Not sure. We only know there is such a person; we don’t know who he is. Most people haven’t seen him. However, I think there’s a significant possibility it’s superpower."
Chen Ling suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards them, clearly not understanding this before.
Su Changxing was silent for a mont, finding it hard to believe soone predicted this event, quite unreasonable, like an ant suddenly predicting what a human observing it wants to do.
Or perhaps this was information supposedly revealed to them by "God."
Recalling before the Doomsday Ga, similar end-of-the-world rumors seed to have appeared online, but he, like most people, didn’t take them seriously.
Didn’t 2020’s supposed doomsday pass dully as well?
This too could be a case of crying wolf too many tis, causing most people not to take it seriously, including the Security Bureau.
Su Changxing recalled previous events, realizing Chenxi seed to have made ample preparations, even more than the Security Bureau, forming an organization when the Doomsday Ga began.
Could the prophesied individual be from Chenxi?
The more Su Changxing thought, the more possible it seed, and the possibility wasn’t small... Chenxi’s organization itself wasn’t simple, even in so aspects not inferior to the Security Bureau.
Qin Decang, observing Su Changxing’s silence, spoke solemnly, "Regardless, I don’t think anyone would hope for their world to be destroyed..... In six days, half the people have died. I can’t imagine how many will survive after thirty days."
Watching survival numbers on forums gradually drop tornts everyone; the more direct feeling is many forum avatars turning grey-black.
Grey-black represents death. Many people were discussing things one second, and their avatar turns grey-black the next.
Su Changxing pondered a while, calmly saying, "Now it seems only very few people will survive, Captain Qin. Those who haven’t beco Extraordinary might die... Perhaps everything you’re doing is in vain."
As those words were spoken, the room beca instantly quiet.
Yes, Su Changxing wasn’t wrong, but most people were avoiding this issue, including the Security Bureau’s people.
Nearby, Sun Xiaolin suddenly opened his eyes, saying: "Brother Su, you can’t say that, so things need doing regardless of success."
Su Changxing glanced at this young man of similar age to himself, nodded and said, "Indeed, this is a struggle, but you should consider how to prevent zombification or ways to beco Extraordinary."
He was speaking to Qin Decang, reminding the Security Bureau of the core issue; once zombification occurs, surviving more people becos futile.
Qin Decang was montarily stunned and said, "We actually have specialized individuals researching it, experts in various fields. But it seems without a lead, and no one has beco Extraordinary yet, except the ’Lucky Child.’ Moreover, zombies seem to have broken past scientific realms, or our technology hasn’t deciphered them."
Su Changxing checked the ti, guessing it was about right, stood and said, "Hmm, Captain Qin, it’s almost dawn; I’ll leave first. Until we et again."
Qin Decang’s face, slightly fatigued, showed a hint of a smile, "Hmm, until we et again; we’ll prepare to leave too."
Su Changxing glanced at the people around and said: "Take care, I’m leaving now."
Chen Ling deeply inhaled and said: "You too take care; I hope we et again. Hmm, thanks for tonight’s matters."
Su Changxing nodded, glancing back at Xu Chu’s Sweat, who was soundly sleeping, gracefully exited the door, coincidentally seeing Lu Yu dazing in the corridor.
Lu Yu, sowhat tired, raised his rounded face and said: "Leaving?"
Without much emotion, rely a greeting-like question.
Su Changxing waved and said: "Hmm, leaving."
Exiting the basent, Su Changxing used his phone to send Qin Decang a ssage: Be wary of Xu Chu’s Sweat; he’s a bit off.
He ca to Tailor’s corpse, asking: "How to extract Tier Eight crystal?"
Tailor’s corpse showed no difference from when it just died; it even retained so warmth, as if freshly deceased.
The head spiritedly said: "The great True Knower tells you, draining its blood will do."
"Draining its blood?"
Su Changxing frowned, unsure of this principle, but still complied, using a short blade to slice several cuts into Tailor, causing blood to gush out.
Seven or eight minutes later, the floor was covered with thick, bright red blood, Tailor’s chest gradually forming two finger-sized black spherical crystals, noticeably smaller than previously obtained Extraordinary Crystals.
"This should be them."
Su Changxing picked up the crystals, feeling their icy-cold touch, like a piece of ice, seemingly constantly absorbing surrounding heat.
He didn’t find them particularly special, placed them into his backpack, and left, moving towards the base.
Zombies on the surrounding streets were scarce; it was morning, and they were less active than at night.
Despite running all night, the actual distance to the base wasn’t far; with full speed ahead, he’d return within an hour.
Su Changxing received Huang Biao’s ssage, indicating their significant losses, seemingly triggering Undead Tide’s turmoil while returning.
