Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 279 - 278: Terrifying Suppressive Power

"I’m Su Changxing, from another settlement."

Su Changxing picked up an Extraordinary Crystal from the corpse and said, "It seems that even without me, you guys could have managed, since your people are about to arrive."

Hao Yi was silent for a moment and said, "It should have been just now, they should have arrived just before."

Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "So if nothing unexpected happens, then something unexpected has already happened... They shouldn’t be dead yet, right?"

"No, but they should be in some kind of emergency situation."

Hao Yi looked at Su Changxing, who was picking up the Extraordinary Crystal, and continued:

"Uh-huh, what’s the use of picking up that thing? Or what does it do? From what I know, consuming it can be deadly."

Su Changxing looked at him and said earnestly:

"I have a collection hobby, I like collecting these shiny things. Look, isn’t it beautiful?"

After speaking, he waved the Extraordinary Crystal in front of Hao Yi.

"Is that so?"

Hao Yi felt the brush-off but, due to Su Changxing’s strength, couldn’t say much about it and changed the subject:

"So, brother, what brings you here?"

Su Changxing replied honestly, "Same as you, to check out the surroundings. But no particular purpose, just wandering around."

Wandering around?

Hao Yi’s gaze appeared dazed, unable to keep up with Su Changxing’s rhythm.

Su Changxing contentedly stored the Extraordinary Crystal in his backpack and asked casually:

"How many Extraordinary beings do you have now? There should be quite a few, I’ve heard some small settlements have quite a few now."

Quite a few Extraordinary beings?

Hao Yi thought for a moment and said, "No, no, up until now I haven’t seen those so-called Extraordinary beings, but they do exist..."

"Squad Leader."

A young woman in a tight jacket next to them couldn’t help but remind.

Hao Yi glanced at her and said:

"Try to contact the squad leader, see if you can reach them. Waiting here isn’t a solution, if nothing works, escalate the matter above..."

Before he could finish, the woman raised her head, her lips trembling, her face pale, and said, "Squad Leader..."

Hao Yi frowned, realizing something was wrong: "What happened?"

The woman continued, "The squad leader and their team have been almost completely wiped out, with only a few individuals surviving by luck."

Hao Yi was dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning on a clear day. The squad leader and their team were wiped out?

Su Changxing also raised his eyebrows, not expecting to hear such explosive news, and said:

"They must have encountered powerful Hunters and were wiped out... What will you do now?"

Hao Yi took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and looked at several of his team members around, saying:

"Let’s continue with the mission. If the squad captains are dead, then only we can carry on the task."

Su Changxing nodded and said, "Let’s go together, I’ll also check out the situation."

Hao Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm, it could be good to have backup; if there’s any danger, Brother Su, don’t worry about us."

He had almost confirmed that Su Changxing was indeed an Extraordinary being, possessing that particular oppressive aura, similar to Hunters but even more intense.

Having such an Extraordinary being with them meant greater safety, but that wasn’t the most important; coming here, they had already put life and death aside.

Apart from the earlier unexpected encounter with Hunters, they haven’t run into other people since, just a few scattered Zombies, making this area seem dead.

The head at Su Changxing’s ear whispered, "You really love meddling. You know there are three types of people who die easily: show-offs, the greedy, and the meddlers."

Su Changxing indifferently said, "So by that reasoning, you’re meddling now too."

The head raised its voice, "We share life, how can that be meddling? Your death is closely connected to me."

Su Changxing took a deep breath and said, "I almost thought I didn’t dislike you anymore... But we have different understandings on some matters."

······

"Tap tap~"

Two spheres continuously collided with each other, the sound getting louder.

Cold sweat dripped across Teng Beng’s forehead, chills spread throughout his body, like vines creeping into his flesh and blood.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly until he saw that woman. Everything stopped and became chaotic, just a far glance chilled his bones.

But now, with no retreat, he’s forced to gamble it all.

Zombies flooded into the ruins in groups, then gradually vanished, or became mere corpses. Not one could breach the high walls.

The distance was close, yet like an ocean trench, insurmountable.

Perhaps the Tiers of Extraordinary beings aren’t that significant; more important is reasonable utilization, expansion, to influence everything around.

"How dare Otherworld humans intrude? Truly seeking death."

A coldness flashed across Teng Beng’s face; after previous events, he would no longer underestimate these Otherworld humans, who may not even be Extraordinary beings.

This was a lesson from Su Changxing.

If he was more meticulous before, there might not have been any issue involving Su Changxing.

He never blamed external factors, no matter how strong the enemy, only his limitations.

He could control everything.

In an instant, a portion of the numerous Zombies surged toward one direction, appearing neatly organized like an army on the move.

"Something’s not right..."

"Go! Let’s go quickly."

Squad 7’s leader, Zhang Tianzhi, led hundreds into a trap, a circle formed by Zombies. Though they realized it, it was too late.

Soon after, they faced an onslaught by thousands of Zombies.

Had they been mere ordinary Zombies, they might not have fallen this quickly, but among them were many "special" Zombies.

Several large Zombies immediately broke their formation, and some lightning-fast Zombies were hidden within for the kill.

They didn’t seem like Zombies, but a fully-tactical army, unafraid of death, obeying commands absolutely.

Within ten minutes, they were completely overturned, dying in fire explosions, and those alive left only with feeble struggling.

They didn’t even have time to send a message before dying in the rolling Undead Tide.

"Smack~"

Lin Xiuyu slapped his own face, showing an incredulous expression, trembling and saying:

"Squad 7, Squad 7 was just mostly wiped out, only a few scattered units remain."

The air suddenly fell silent.

Such news was undoubtedly a bombshell.

The middle-aged man wearing sunglasses showed no change in expression, only mildly said, "Do you know their exact location?"

Lin Xiuyu thought for a moment and said, "They should be just over ten kilometers from the target point... Isn’t this overly terrifying?"
