Chapter 364: Chapter 360: The Escaped One

Su Changxing looked at the Big-headed Ghost still crawling on the ground, terrified out of his wits, revealing a playful smile:

“You’re not running away, waiting for me to kill you?”

The Big-headed Ghost was immediately startled, but still remained motionless, believing that even if he ran, he couldn’t escape.

Su Changxing took a deep breath, stood up from the ground, walked toward the scattered corpses, and picked up the dagger that was thin like a cicada’s wings.

[Duanming Saber (B crown, Upper Rank): Curse Blade, product of Great Success Curse Art, resembles a blade but is actually a curse item.

Point the blade at the target, hold for half a minute, and at the cost of half one’s own life, exchange for the opponent’s life.

Note: One-time item, ineffective on beings with life force too strong and life level higher than oneself.]

This thing actually existed!

Su Changxing felt a chill in his heart, realizing he was walking a round on the edge of death just now, and if he had been a bit slower, he would have died.

“No wonder the ’Priest’ had that expression at the end; he believed I saw through the function of this dagger?”

Su Changxing carefully placed the dagger into his backpack, feeling that if he exerted a little force, it would break.

In the scraps of flesh, there were also four shiny pieces as bright as nails.

Tissues of the giant hand?

And still four pieces.

Su Changxing picked up the chips from the ground, looked at the Big-headed Ghost, and asked:

“What use do you have for this thing?”

The Big-headed Ghost lifted his head, showing a look of terror, and said, “I don’t know······”

Su Changxing chuckled softly, silently pointed the revolver at him, placing his index finger on the trigger.

The Big-headed Ghost’s pupils contracted, and in desperation, quickly said, “Seems like it’s to enter······ the Energy Station.”

Su Changxing casually asked, “How do you enter?”

The Big-headed Ghost pondered and said, “Requires the Light Stone.”

“Light Stone? You mean this?”

Su Changxing took out the Golden Seed from his backpack.

The Big-headed Ghost nodded and said, “Yes, it’s this thing.”

Su Changxing asked again, “Do you know how to use it?”

The Big-headed Ghost shook his head, “Don’t know, I’m just an assistant to the Divine Envoy.”

Su Changxing stared at the Golden Seed, showing a thoughtful expression and slowly said:

“Are you from this world?”

The Big-headed Ghost, a bit at a loss, quickly said, “Of course, what does the master need, I will do my utmost.”

Su Changxing looked towards the battlefield, where under the Security Bureau’s cooperation, new humans had completely collapsed, some running, some dead.

To digest the number of Evil Spirits, he let these spirits slaughter each other, mutually devouring for growth.

Tao Yi was among them, the one eating the fastest; these Evil Spirits were like great nourishment for her, even able to directly enhance her strength.

He looked again at the Big-headed Ghost and asked, “Has anyone of you been to the Energy Station?”

The Big-headed Ghost hesitated and said, “No, everyone who approaches dies quickly; we can only stay in this place.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, “Has anyone from Shield Company escaped from the Energy Station?”

The Big-headed Ghost suddenly held his breath, stunned, looking at Su Changxing without speaking, for a moment thinking Su Changxing was from their world.

Su Changxing spoke in a flamboyant tone:

“Hmm, you wouldn’t happen to be someone who escaped from there, or rather, you are from Shield Company?”

The Big-headed Ghost’s face stiffened, paused, and continued, “Yes, I escaped from inside, the only one to do so, also an employee of Shield Company.”

Is that so.

Previously, he noticed the Big-headed Ghost’s distinction, more like a zombie or between new humans compared to others.

Su Changxing curiously said:

“So what happened to you at that time, when the Energy Station started turning?”

The Big-headed Ghost recalled, showing a look of fear, wide-eyed, said word by word:

“At that time, we all thought we’d achieved an era-transcending feat, but didn’t expect to destroy the world ourselves.”

“When the Energy Station started, almost everyone fainted on the ground, their flesh beginning to significantly change, with only me staying awake.”

“I was very scared, just kept running outside, but nearly everyone was unconscious, only a few followed me to run outside.”

“However, in the end, I was the only one who ran out; the others collapsed inside. I turned into this monster appearance, and found problems outside too; many people died, and even some living dead appeared.”

“I hid for a few days, finding monsters like me growing more numerous, forming assaults on surviving people······ I don’t know why this happened either······”

The more he spoke, the lower the Big-headed Ghost’s voice became, eyes full of bloodshot lines, face displaying pain.

Then he suddenly laughed eerily:

“But what does this have to do with me, I just need to survive, sir, don’t kill me, I can do anything.”

Su Changxing was about to shoot him, still feeling this guy was dangerous, hesitated and said:

“You know the way into the Energy Station, take me to see it later.”

Huang Biao quickly ran towards Su Changxing, saw him sitting on the ground, and asked:

“Brother, are you badly injured? Should I treat you?”

Su Changxing nodded, “Sorry, sustained some minor injuries.”

Huang Biao’s healing method was quite powerful, just complemented the recovery ability he had.

Huang Biao glanced at the Big-headed Ghost, said in a deep voice,:

“Over half the people from the Security Bureau are damaged, most of those who survived are already in no state to continue, probably only a few can make it.”

Su Changxing nodded, gestured and said:

“Watch him closely, any abnormalities, kill him outright. I’ll go see.”

Huang Biao nodded, started treating Su Changxing, his ability consumed greatly, couldn’t use it often, so only used it on their own people.

After receiving Huang Biao’s treatment, Su Changxing felt better, walked towards the battlefield, saw Zhong Jueqing limping over.

He survived, thanks to the Giant disrupting the Metal Storm, saved a life.

Zhong Jueqing’s whole body was tattered, covered with dust-wrapped wounds, face full of large and small ’spots,’ and outwardly curling carapace, showing slightly fallen expression, said:

“Luckily, you came, otherwise we surely wouldn’t survive.”

Su Changxing sensed a bit of heaviness from him, asked:

“What’s wrong? We won, did you check inside?”

Zhong Jueqing shook his head, closed his eyes slowly said,:

“Not possible, an Extraordinary took over a hundred steps inside and collapsed. I’m very sorry, everything seems futile, perhaps I’ve been reckless.”

Su Changxing pursed his lips and smiled, “What’s there to apologize for, it’s not you who made me come, besides, let’s see, there might yet be a way.”

Most despairing is, they seemingly struggled hard, exerted all efforts to win, yet didn’t actually succeed.
