Chapter 294: Chapter 290: Timing Prediction

White ash like snow danced in the sky, which presented a brilliant blue-purple hue. The earth was desolate, a misty expanse.

The two walked outward from this place, not too fast, appearing particularly strenuous, with one person’s face gradually becoming clear.

It was Su Changxing himself.

The other person remained blurry and indistinct, seeming very familiar, but unable to remember who.

·······

Listening to Zhong Jueqing’s words, Su Changxing’s eyes suddenly widened, with an unfamiliar, never-experienced image floating in his mind, very realistic,

as if personally experiencing it, even feeling that cold touch on the skin, penetrating deep into the bone marrow.

Switched to another place?

Su Changxing rubbed his forehead, glanced around, and said, “Those zombies started flowing again, probably controlled by Lady of the House, we should go out quickly.”

Zhong Jueqing nodded and said, “Let’s go back, the zombies over there were cleared, much fewer.”

Lady of the House still had some energy left, uncertain about the depth of Su Changxing and the other’s situation, so she merely probed, but the density of zombies around was too great, a small guide would trigger a massive undead tide.

Just as the two arrived at the edge of the ruins, they saw a dense mass of zombies rushing from all directions mixed with gigantic zombies.

Wearing sunglasses, Zhong Jueqing looked at the scene and casually said, “Really twisted… I’ll clear the path in front later, might be a bit difficult, if you can run, just go, don’t worry about me.”

Su Changxing glanced at him, sensing Zhong Jueqing’s low status, probably unable to handle it well, said:

“You follow behind me, I can manage… you probably can’t.”

Another card appeared in his hand with Teng Beng’s image, a temporarily stolen ability that could control the undead tide to some extent.

[Stolen Sword of Corruption: Can control and guide zombies and the undead tide to some extent, requires massive Spiritual Power to sustain]

The black card shattered into more than ten pieces, turning into flowing light in the air, disappearing.

Su Changxing’s eyes emitted red light, chilling and evil, reminiscent of zombie-like creatures, invisible threads radiating from him.

The surrounding zombies stopped before the two, clearing a path, quieting down, silently watching Su Changxing.

More and more zombies stopped in front of them, like a regiment awaiting orders.

“Hmm?”

Zhong Jueqing glanced around in surprise, feeling Su Changxing’s abilities were diverse, seems like he had everything, even such a zombie controlling ability.

With red glowing eyes, Su Changxing ran forward, shouting, “Speed, I can’t hold on for long.”

A throbbing pain followed at the back of his head, he felt the ability frantically draining his Spiritual Power, a piercing sensation on the skin.

This was due to incompatibility, forcibly releasing the ability, increasing Spiritual Power consumption, fortunately, Su Changxing’s Spiritual Power was considered strong.

Immediately after.

The surrounding zombies started attacking each other, black blood splashing in the mid-air, stacks of zombies fell to the ground, turned into corpses.

Su Changxing could clearly feel Lady of the House’s will reinforcing these zombies, not particularly strong, not confronting him directly, but covering a wide range, causing continually swarming zombies.

He seemed to understand why Teng Beng always had a frown, feeling Spiritual Power being drained bit by bit was truly uncomfortable.

As they gradually moved away from the ruins, Lady of the House’s will weakened, Su Changxing eased somewhat, the undead tide calmed down slowly.

Zhong Jueqing looked at Su Changxing thoughtfully: “Hmm, your ability seems identical to theirs, very similar.”

Actually, it’s the same ability······

Su Changxing pondered briefly, and said softly, “Yes, many abilities bear similarities in principle.”

He was still not ready to expose his ability, fearing its subtle Deceiver bug position would make people wary and calculative, the best method was to prevent others from knowing.

Several green-ghostly Evil Spirits surrounded, intercepting the undead tide, as Zhong Jueqing wielded four broken blades to clear the path ahead.

His superpower was beyond imagination, at least more powerful and enduring than Su Changxing estimated, like an old lamp that brightens unexpectedly when suspected to go out, brighter than imagined.

As the moon descended closer to the low sky, they departed the zombie sea area, not in the previous place, with dozens of corpses on the ground, dried, human corpses.

Su Changxing observed briefly and said, “These should be Security Bureau people, all died here… seems like their blood was drawn dry, not the work of Hunter.”

Zhong Jueqing frowned, said solemnly, “The traits resemble that blood monster’s methods.”

“Blood monster?”

Su Changxing didn’t immediately relate, said: “What thing, like a Screamer monster?”

Zhong Jueqing shook his head and said:

“No, from our Security Bureau gave birth to the monster, seemingly caused by a Mysterious Item. He’s very cunning, rapidly growing in power, and highly hostile to our Security Bureau.”

Caused by a Mysterious Item?

Su Changxing thought of Xu Chu’s Sweat, it seemed problematic too, and uncertain how the situation was now, surely the monster wouldn’t be Xu Chu’s Sweat······

The head beside the ear affirmed:

“Energy within these bodies was rudely drained, meaning the one acting could absorb this chaotic energy… Generally, any possessing such capabilities are disorderly creatures with a life level far surpassing humans.”

Su Changxing didn’t pay much attention, turned his head to Zhong Jueqing and said: “Let’s end here, we’ll contact later.”

Zhong Jueqing looked at him, seriously, “Consider joining us, your capabilities could play a larger role.”

Su Changxing nodded, didn’t hurry to respond, waved, “Let’s talk about it later, it’s not important······”

Zhong Jueqing was silent for a moment, continued, “If there truly was hope, would you go?”

Su Changxing gazed at the clear, star-filled sky, said, “Don’t know, maybe not like you······”

He walked toward another direction, his figure blurred in the night, carrying over a dozen ghostly green shadows.

Zhong Jueqing didn’t hesitate, put down the phone, and ran toward another direction.

Now every second mattered.

Within the Security Bureau, a new plan rapidly formed, altering a series of previous pre-set plans.

The giant and precise machine of the Security Bureau changed to a new direction.

On the same night, an exploration team advanced toward the suburban industrial area, exploring, where surviving humans were virtually absent, unknown if the Doomsday Game hadn’t triggered, or if they had all died.
