Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 368 - 364: Increasing Pressure

Zhou An brushed the cookie crumbs off his clothes, stood up, and said, blushing:

"Ah, Brother Su, I can go. Zhu Wenwu is afraid of dying, but I’m not. If I die, then I die. He has a cute sister, but I don’t... Besides, you saved my life."

Zhu Wenwu’s face twitched. He hadn’t expected Zhou An to joke about him even now, and he said flatly:

"But I’m stronger than you."

If it came to a fight, not even three Zhou Ans could beat him now.

"You..."

Zhou An looked frustrated, slapped the table, and said, "I’m a support-type, a support-type, you understand?"

"Snap~"

The decaying table completely collapsed, falling into several pieces on the ground.

Chang Yi, looking slightly resentful, whispered, "This table was really hard for us to find."

Zhou An smiled awkwardly, "I lost my composure, lost my composure."

Zhu Wenwu turned his head to Su Changxing and said seriously:

"Brother Su, precisely because of my sister, I have to go in. I told you, whether I live or die, I must complete our goal this time."

"Moreover, I can pinpoint and explore more precisely, find the central position, and even locate the Giant Hand Organization."

The Energy Station itself operates around a large piece of the Giant Hand Organization.

Zhu Wenwu’s ability could indeed potentially locate the exact position of the Giant Hand Organization.

It made a lot of sense.

"..."

Su Changxing looked at Zhu Wenwu’s determined attitude, smiled, patted his shoulder, and said:

"Alright, you’re in. The rest will wait here. If we’re not back before dark, you should leave immediately."

Zhou An’s expression changed slightly, and he said unwillingly, "What about me, Brother Su? I want to go too."

Su Changxing looked at him and said decisively:

"You’ll wait outside. That’s the decision. That’s it."

Huang Biao remained silent throughout, finally grinning and saying:

"Haha, don’t make it so gloomy. I believe, Brother Su, that you will definitely come back alive. You also need to believe in yourself. Your decisions have always been correct from the start, and this time is surely no different."

Although he said this, everyone else remained silent.

Xu Wenfeng felt lost. He had originally come with a mindset of facing death and was very tense, but now he was told he didn’t need to go, that he was safe, and he felt a sense of relief mixed with disappointment.

He didn’t have the same courage to volunteer as Zhou An, nor did he have that kind of strength.

The group made their way through the factory, heading towards the bridge.

Zhong Jueqing somehow found a pair of sunglasses and put them on, saying calmly:

"Kid, I can guarantee that you’ve certainly done something great, and I have a hunch that you will succeed."

Su Changxing smiled and said:

"Are you cheering us on? But I believe in your hunch. Lin Xiuyu said your intuition is usually very accurate."

Zhong Jueqing nodded affirmatively and said seriously:

"Of course, my intuition is important. You’re the second man I’ve ever acknowledged."

Su Changxing asked casually, "Who’s the first?"

Zhong Jueqing thought for a moment and said, "Myself."

"You really are arrogant. After all these years, I’m still the first person you’ve acknowledged,"

Su Changxing joked with a smile.

Zhong Jueqing took off his hat, stopped, and said regretfully:

"Maybe, but now I’m no longer capable of being arrogant. Otherwise, no matter what, I would enter with you."

"We’re ready to go in, step aside."

Su Changxing took out a golden Golden Seed and handed a piece of the Giant Hand Organization to Zhu Wenwu.

Instantly, a large number of white scratches lit up around the ground at their feet, trembling continuously. The golden seed in their hands gradually brightened until it became like a small golden sun.

The golden light flowed like water into the bright spots, the Golden Seed dimmed, losing its luster, and withered away.

Su Changxing reminded Zhu Wenwu, "Don’t let go until we’re out. It’s your shield to stay alive."

Zhu Wenwu nodded, taking a deep breath, "Okay, got it."

Su Changxing turned back to look at everyone:

"We’re ready to go."

The next moment, he led Zhu Wenwu in a mad dash toward the bridge, kicking up a cloud of dust.

If all went well, they would reach the Energy Station’s gate in forty minutes with an hour to locate and destroy the central node.

As they ran onto the bridge, Zhu Wenwu suddenly felt his body sink heavily as if it had become heavier, with severe friction between the joints.

Something in the space was pressing down on them.

Su Changxing’s sensation was even more pronounced, as if a giant hand was pressing on his head, causing his body to pause for a moment, "Any problems?"

Zhu Wenwu followed behind, saying, "No problem, just feels like the body is heavier, like gravity has increased."

Was that so.

Su Changxing guessed that Zhu Wenwu was under less pressure.

What was the principle of this?

Could it be related to strength?

As they ran past, they discovered the other end of the bridge was full of skeletal remains, at least hundreds or even a thousand died here, all falling forward.

This was the line between life and death.

Both of them kept their expressions unchanged, stepping on the bones as they ran through.

The bones crackled as they were crushed underfoot.

Watching the two cross the bridge, Zhong Jueqing finally sighed in relief, at least there was a good start, and said:

"His methods are indeed remarkable, actually capable of withstanding the radiation inside."

Zhou An crossed his arms, maintaining a calm expression:

"Of course, you should see what kind of man my brother is."

Huang Biao, on the other hand, looked worried, a bad feeling in his gut that he couldn’t voice at this point.

It was a gamble with everything on the line.

He understood Su Changxing’s thoughts very well.

...

Crossing the bridge.

Aside from the watchtower, what lay ahead was a vast expanse of white. The ground was piled with thick white ash, stepping on it felt like treading through sand, soft and yielding.

Su Changxing’s face was unknowingly covered with a layer of frost mixed with white ash.

All along, the temperature had been dropping. By the time they reached this place, it had fallen to over ten degrees below zero. Fortunately, they were all Extraordinary people, with superb physical attributes that enabled them to withstand it without much issue.

However, the invisible pressure increased as they advanced, making their speed noticeably slower than when they started.

If they were ordinary people, reaching this point would mean being unable to run any further, forced to walk slowly ahead.

"There’s something ahead,"

Zhu Wenwu suddenly called out.

Su Changxing also saw several black dots crawling on the ground in the distance, looking somewhat like Screamers, though half-buried in white ash:

"Are those Screamers?"
