The surrounding light suddenly dimmed and quickly vanished, as if entering nighttime, but even darker than night.

The "Barbarian" was momentarily stunned, seeing Su Changxing disappear from his vision, along with everything around him vanishing, including his perception being blocked.

This is another fixed rule of the Domain, Darkness, which can block others’ sight, and with the enhancement of data flow light, it can also partially block perception, including multiple perception abilities such as smell, touch, and hearing.

Compared to vision, the Extraordinary often gather more information from other perception abilities, with instinctive perception being a level higher.

Instinctive perception is equivalent to predicting the opponent’s actions one step ahead and making corresponding responses.

This "Barbarian" possessed a rather powerful instinctive perception, able to make the most accurate decisions instinctively.

"I can still catch you!"

The "Barbarian" roared, grabbing something in the darkness and smashing it to the ground, but felt a sharp pain in his back, looking down to see a blade piercing through his chest.

What he grabbed was a semi-transparent woman with bright red veins spreading across her body, then a massive force hit, slicing his body in two with a scythe.

The pitch-blackness faded, leaving only a mutilated corpse on the ground.

The soldiers looked around, searching for Su Changxing’s figure, extremely nervous, because the dead man was their vanguard captain, who had experienced countless wars, surprisingly dying here.

Dozens of silver lights shot from afar, tracing graceful arcs.

With the sound of bullets bursting, twenty to thirty soldiers fell to the ground, their hard armor easily shattered, fragments embedding into their flesh.

Just when the remaining soldiers thought death was imminent, everything fell silent, with only occasional screams.

Su Changxing did not plan to kill them all, needing to conserve strength, continuously killing several experts in the Black Crow Battle Group looked easy but consumed much of his energy.

Immediately after, he moved away from this place, sensing a pair of eyes occasionally observing him, possibly a Wizard.

A Wizard’s magic might have such capabilities, their abilities are seemingly more comprehensive than those of the Extraordinary.

Half an hour later, this feeling completely disappeared, the Black Crow Battle Group didn’t follow, and he was sure Xu Kai and the others were safe for the time being.

The Black Crow Battle Group’s target ultimately wasn’t them, possessing a higher level of strategy.

······

"Shen Jinxuan disappeared, and there’s been no contact at all."

Su Changxing squatted in a gas station store, looking at his phone, thinking Shen Jinxuan likely faced a guidance task, heading to another world.

It seems that every player will receive a guidance task, which can be refused, but the rich rewards often make it hard to refuse.

This is akin to gambling, although losses outweigh gains, there are still those who bet everything, especially since for them in the apocalypse, not much is left.

Based on the information provided by Lin Xiuyu and others, he calculated that Shen Jinxuan previously hadn’t left Donglin City area, but now there was still no contact.

One message surprised him, Huang Biao sent him a message,

"Brother, do not approach West Bridge City, trust me, it’s dangerous there, and definitely don’t leave Donglin City. My situation is a bit special right now, I can only send you this message, take care of yourself."

But afterward, Huang Biao stopped messaging, as if under house arrest, life not threatened but freedom lost.

Avoid West Bridge City?

Su Changxing was puzzled, not knowing how Huang Biao obtained this information, and was also curious about Huang Biao’s current situation, about who took Huang Biao when returning to reality that day?

Everything seemed extremely coincidental, as if the person taking Huang Biao knew about the apocalypse’s arrival.

He hesitated briefly, unsure whether to trust Huang Biao’s words, as everything seemed illogical.

A flash of inspiration struck.

He recalled the boy, like a Ghost Soul, carrying an ancient jade pendant saying similar words, "Outside is dangerous, do not go out!"

As if a kind of hint.

Su Changxing ultimately decided to observe the situation first, as it wasn’t yet necessary to leave, and the Black Crow Battle Group wasn’t pursuing him.

······

"I came here before the apocalypse, had a relative here being chased for debts, and we almost fought then."

Ge Yunhua remarked.

Xu Kai curiously asked, "Debt collection? Why almost a fight?"

"Both sides knew each other but didn’t write an IOU, my relative was quite the dodger anyway." Ge Yunhua said helplessly.

"Paying debt is a matter of course."

"But there are always those who evade, mainly because the other person’s previous generation had a good relationship with my parents, which was troublesome."

"How did it end?"

"We helped pay part of the debt first."

Ge Yunhua said without elaboration.

Jie Chuan revealed a cold smile, saying, "I usually despise those who don’t repay debts, if it were me, I wouldn’t care, no matter how good the relationship."

Ge Yunhua glanced at him and laughed, "Seems you’ve been owed money before, quite a bit."

Jie Chuan shook his head, "Not exactly, but it’s been long since I lent money, either I give it as a gift, or risk the friendship."

"Rather considerate." Xu Kai commented.

"Just a habit."

Jie Chuan didn’t say much more, actually looking down on these two young men, one seemed cowardly, the other hotheaded, without Su Changxing, they might not have more interactions.

They hadn’t discovered other survivors here but noticed traces.

"Previously many people were active here, but all disappeared, likely taken away like Guo Fengyan and others."

Jie Chuan picked up a half-eaten canned meat on the table, frowning slightly.

"Looks like we’re not unlucky, but rather fortunate."

A short-haired woman expressed surprise, thinking this was a system cleanup, and they were now like fish that slipped through the net.

Jie Chuan nodded, "Should be, really ought to thank that great being, but will he return?"

Xu Kai shrugged, "Don’t know, teacher said if he doesn’t return, we should act accordingly, I think teacher will come back."

"Not necessarily." Jie Chuan sneered.

Xu Kai questioned, "Hmm? What do you mean?"

"What do I mean? Do you think such an Extraordinary would care about us? In his eyes, we are like insects."

Jie Chuan said blandly.
