Chapter 350: Chapter 346: The Wounded

“What are you thinking! I’m not a backpack.”

The head said very displeasedly.

Su Changxing thought for a moment, then said again: “So, is it okay?”

“It’s okay!”

Then, the head had two things in its mouth, a golden seed and the Giant Hand Organization, both items not too large, making its mouth seem spacious enough.

The head was more like a safe than a backpack, keeping dangerous things inside, which could be considered a way to make use of its last bit of usefulness.

Yes, that’s it… Su Changxing confirmed in his heart.

“They’re all dead.”

Huang Biao’s voice came from inside the room.

Su Changxing put the Giant Hand Organization into his backpack and walked in together with Lin Xiuyu.

Three mutilated corpses, bitten and riddled with holes, leaned against the wall, with several blood marks scratched on it, left by hands.

These people had experienced intense struggles when they died.

Huang Biao stood up, turned his head, and said, “The blood and wounds are fresh, they haven’t been dead for long. It’s a pity we were a bit late.”

Everyone looked grim; the situation was unexpected. Even if they had been killed by New humans, they could accept it, but not in this way.

Lin Xiuyu rubbed his temple with one hand, his expression somewhat stiff as he said:

“I know where the others are, should we continue?”

Su Changxing didn’t think much, and said, “Let’s continue, but after the commotion just now, those New humans should have already noticed us.”

He collected the Points from the corpses, not a small amount, more than two thousand, mainly because the monster’s corpse was valuable.

Back downstairs.

Zhu Wenwu walked over and asked, “What just happened? Where are those people?”

Huang Biao paused and said, “There was a monster, they’re all dead. We’re going to find the others now, we need to understand the situation first.”

The other people Lin Xiuyu found were nearby, and they arrived within ten minutes, on the second floor of a small supermarket.

Surrounding them were many shelves and the bodies of zombies; a few zombies had obviously just died, suggesting people were nearby.

Just as they walked in, they heard someone shouting.

“Deputy Lin, I’m here!”

The three looked at each other, all becoming more cautious after the previous incident.

Su Changxing walked over and saw a man in a military uniform holding a long knife, leaning against a shelf, seemingly badly injured.

At last, they found the right person this time.

The man saw Su Changxing approaching and said seriously, “Are you Deputy Lin?”

Su Changxing thought for a moment, pointed to Lin Xiuyu, who was following behind, and said, “I’m not, he is.”

The man tilted his head to see Lin Xiuyu, his expression softened noticeably, he bowed his head and said:

“Sorry, I have to be cautious under these special circumstances… I’m Cheng Ji Yuan from Team Seven, you just came from outside.”

Su Changxing nodded and said:

“The main thing is to ask about the situation, well, first, let’s take care of your injuries.”

Huang Biao stepped forward, examined his injuries, took out a water bottle, poured some water on Cheng Ji Yuan’s wound, and placed his hands on the wound.

The water on the skin began to flow in waves toward the wound, flowing backward, appearing in reverse like a video being played backwards, feeling unreal.

Cheng Ji Yuan’s breathing gradually steadied, and his complexion improved, relaxing a little.

Lin Xiuyu, seeing his status had improved, asked, “What’s your current situation, and where are the team leaders?”

Cheng Ji Yuan lifted his head, showing a few black lines on his face, hesitated for a moment, then said:

“I don’t know, at that time in town, a large number of New humans suddenly appeared and attacked us. Team Seven received orders to break through.”

“We did manage to escape, but later we were caught up by those New humans… We’re not their match; there are very powerful ones among the New humans.”

“However, our captain, Sun Yi, should still be alive.”

Lin Xiuyu licked his lips and calmly said, “He’s already dead, we encountered him just now.”

“Dead?”

Cheng Ji Yuan’s expression remained calm, not showing any surprise, he continued:

“The team leaders were surrounded by a large number of New humans at the stronghold, but I don’t know the current situation, they might still be alive, or the stronghold might have been breached.”

His voice was numb, carrying deep despair, perhaps he wasn’t even aware of it himself, subconsciously not believing they could survive, that they could make it out alive.

This was the worst.

Lin Xiuyu said expressionlessly, “Now, we need you to lead the way, we need to go to the stronghold.”

Cheng Ji Yuan decisively said, “Alright, no problem.”

Huang Biao withdrew his hands, stood up, grinned, and said, “Well, it should be about enough, try standing up.”

Cheng Ji Yuan supported himself with one hand on the counter behind him, slowly stood up, and said, “This recovery effect… is really impressive.”

Huang Biao, slightly out of breath, explained:

“Actually, your injuries weren’t too serious, they’re just superficial wounds. It’s just that the human body is too fragile, local trauma can affect overall movement.”

Cheng Ji Yuan carefully felt his physical status and cautiously said:

“Shall we go directly over? Judging by earlier experiences, the situation may be quite dire.”

Lin Xiuyu quickly nodded and said:

“Yes, let’s go now, time waits for no one.”

His expression unwittingly appeared slightly tense; the human brain is like the most perfect CPU, naturally supplementing the subsequent development.

Especially for him.

Back on the street, the people outside seemed restless and uneasy.

Zhu Wenwu saw Su Changxing and the others come out, walked up, and said:

“Just now, there was a sign of New humans appearing in the distance; they likely noticed us, but instead of coming closer, they retreated.”

Retreated…

Su Changxing realized that they definitely hadn’t retreated, only temporarily avoiding the edge while knowing their strength, he asked, “Can you determine their location?”

Zhu Wenwu shook his head and said, “Not really, their presence isn’t strong enough, they’re too far away to be marked.”

His ability is highly specific, the stronger and more distorted the presence, the more his Perception Ability increases.

Su Changxing nodded and said, “Alright, no worries, keep an eye out, let’s ignore them for now, and head straight over to see the situation.”

Under Cheng Ji Yuan’s guidance, the group moved towards the northeast of the town, which was also directly towards the direction of the iron tower.

“Among the New humans that attacked us, there was one particularly strong one, we were no match and could only run away.”

Cheng Ji Yuan recalled the situation at that time.

Lin Xiuyu thought for a moment and asked, “What about the team leader, wasn’t he a match either?”

Cheng Ji Yuan was silent for a moment and said, “It was because of the team leader that I felt there was a chance, the others didn’t stand a chance.”
