Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 248 - 247: The Way to Victory
The old man lunged fiercely, striking the Hunter’s back with an axe, blood splattering onto his face, and he also fell to the ground.
Seeing this, another person tried to escape from the side, but Su Changxing kicked him over and stabbed through his forehead with a downward thrust.
Su Changxing skillfully flicked the blood off the blade, crouched down to check the old man’s injuries, and said:
"Hmm, your injuries aren’t serious, just a bit exhausted."
The old man finally calmed down, with a hint of tears in his voice he said:
"Boss Su, I let them down. They’re all dead, and I’m the only one who survived."
"All dead?"
Su Changxing frowned. As far as he knew, Zhu Wenwu and the others should be on the other side, so he quickly asked, "Hmm? What’s going on?"
The old man sat up, leaned against the wall, and said, "At the time, I and a dozen others were taken to another place. Later, we were attacked by Hunters..."
This should be the Hunter’s divide and conquer strategy.
The battle was more brutal than Su Changxing imagined. The old man’s side suffered the heaviest losses.
Su Changxing took a deep breath and asked, "Are all these Hunters dead?"
The old man nodded and replied, "All dead. These were the last three. Good thing you came, otherwise I wouldn’t have stood a chance against them."
In the end, he was actually at his limit, completely relying on a show of strength to intimidate the other party.
Su Changxing took out some ointment, handed it to him, and said:
"Find a room to hide in here for now. I’m going to find the others and take care of the remaining Hunters."
The old man looked up with a smile and said, "Don’t worry about me. You go ahead. My life is worthless, and if I die, so be it."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, stay in contact with your phone, and try not to fall asleep."
With that, he turned and ran down the corridor.
Given the current situation, there are at least ten or twenty Hunters left, and they’re grouped together. As long as they eliminate this group of Hunters, they’ve basically won.
The key point in the current standoff is time. If they drag things out until it gets dark, Su Changxing and the others will be at a great disadvantage.
"This place is divided into many different spaces, each seemingly interconnected like a vast network of tunnels. The space where those Hunters are should be completely sealed off."
Su Changxing muttered to himself as he ran forward, noticing the space around him shifting again.
A voice by his ear chattered on, "If you keep going like this, you’ll never find it. You don’t have an Extraordinary capable of dealing with this, so you can’t break the situation. Unless you deal with that Space Mole..."
Su Changxing responded irritably, "Be practical. Is there a way to trap him or stabilize the surrounding space temporarily, great True Knower?"
He emphasized the words "True Knowledge."
The voice replied leisurely:
"Well, there is a way, but it requires some preparation. You know I already suffered a lot facing those heretics; if I break, you’ll have problems too."
Su Changxing hadn’t expected the voice to really have a method and asked, "What preparation? Make it practical, or it’s no different from not saying anything."
The voice replied with a strange smile:
"It’s simple, really. Conduct an exchange ritual to communicate with some unknown entities. Their will can stabilize the space."
Su Changxing paused for a few seconds and murmured, "Are you asking me to court death? We nearly died at the hands of those heretics before."
The voice protested indignantly, "Can you compare the two? What level of existence are heretics? I don’t even know how you attracted them. This exchange ritual can only contact less powerful beings who can’t affect this world’s reality."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, there aren’t many other options. Tell me what to do."
The voice recalled:
"You’ll need a corpse as a lead, preferably a Hunter’s, ten Extraordinary Crystals, and a bladed weapon. I can handle the rest, but first, you need to locate that Space Mole."
"Finding him seems to be the hardest part."
Su Changxing pondered for a moment and said, "But I think I might have a way."
The sound of dripping water echoed, and the walls were lined with pipes.
He returned to the hospital’s ground floor, a place he’d visited before, where Yu Jieyi and others with serious injuries were located.
"So it’s here."
Su Changxing frowned, having expected to return to the top floor, but instead, he arrived here.
It seemed the top floor’s space had also been sealed off.
"Looks like he’s not planning on letting us leave."
Su Changxing grinned as he made his way toward where Yu Jieyi and the others were.
Intense arguing could be heard ahead.
"Deputy Captain Yu, staying here is pointless, and those Hunters could come at any time. We need to leave."
A voice full of fear and urgency.
Someone else chimed in, "Yes, I think Ge Xuhui is right. Waiting here, we might as well head up and join Boss Huang."
Yu Jieyi retorted fiercely:
"Follow orders. Our mission now is to stay here. You’d just cause trouble going up... Anyone acting out of line, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
This shut everyone up, given Yu Jieyi’s strength as an Extraordinary.
A warm and calm voice came:
"It’s not possible to go up now. Staying here is actually safer."
Su Changxing emerged from the darkness, expressionless.
Yu Jieyi, seeing Su Changxing alone, hesitated and asked, "Where’s Zhou An and the others?"
Su Changxing approached and said, "We got separated for some reason."
Yu Jieyi’s face looked slightly flushed, better than before, as she said:
"It’s already three o’clock. The Hunters’ strength is likely starting to recover. Can you find them? I’ve recovered somewhat and can fight."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "You stay here with these people. I’ll inform you if there’s any issue."
He glanced at the seven or eight injured on the ground, nodded, and said reassuringly:
"I’ve already wiped out more than half of the Hunters. No need to worry. Final victory will undoubtedly be ours."
He said this naturally to calm everyone down without much thought.
Su Changxing nodded to Yu Jieyi, signaling her, then turned to follow his previous path, contemplating whether he could reach the place he aimed for.
