Chapter 559 - 141: Bartender
Iron Anchor’s eyes suddenly brightened, and several beams of flames rose from the ground, shooting toward Thunder Mountain, forming a surrounding stance.
Thunder Mountain remained completely calm, slicing forward with twin blades, stirring up waves to block the incoming flames.
He ran to the side, trying to escape the range of the flames, but the monster’s strength exceeded his expectations, as more flames formed around him, blocking his escape route.
At this moment, Li Ying released an arrow, which flew toward the monster accompanied by a strong wind, turning into a black line.
His ability significantly enhanced the arrow’s power, and if it hits, it should be able to injure this "Iron Anchor".
But the monster jumped simultaneously, easily avoiding the arrow, and charged toward Thunder Mountain, who was surrounded by flames.
Its body was enormous, at least equivalent to four or five Thunder Mountain, an absolute giant for humans.
Thunder Mountain retreated, pointing a finger at the monster’s forehead, as a deep red color spread out like wine pouring into water, enveloping the monster.
He aimed to use his ability to put "Iron Anchor" into a drunken state, but how could this iron-skinned monster have a drunken state.
In the next moment, Thunder Mountain was skillfully knocked away, his body pierced by the iron spikes on "Iron Anchor," creating several holes.
Su Changxing also paused for a moment, originally wanting to assess Thunder Mountain and these Extraordinary’s strength, but didn’t expect them to be so fragile, quickly being taken down by the monster.
These people were much weaker than he anticipated.
"Indeed, I shouldn’t use myself as a reference."
Su Changxing noticed that these Extraordinaries appeared united on the surface, but seeing Thunder Mountain knocked away, they all began quietly retreating, preparing to flee.
Especially the woman named He Ying, who was observing from afar, only fired one shot from start to finish.
"Hmm, but it seems I am also observing."
Su Changxing noticed He Dongsheng using a fan to stir up a gust of wind, positioning himself between Thunder Mountain and the monster, just turning his head to glance at him.
It seemed only he stood in place like a spectator, appearing conspicuous, while others, even if not doing anything, at least acted.
The monster had eyes only for Thunder Mountain, leaping once more to collide with him, its massive body accompanied by a fierce wind.
In its view, Thunder Mountain was the strongest; once Thunder Mountain was resolved, the others naturally posed no threat.
Su Changxing watched this scene as silver light shot from his eyes, drawing his gun to aim at the monster and pulled the trigger.
The bullet passed right over, hitting Iron Cat’s head, piercing its iron skull, causing a loud noise and sparks.
The bullet’s power wasn’t considered great, but enough to kill the monster.
Black liquid flowed from the black iron hole, carrying an indistinct viscous fibrous material.
"Iron Cat" lay motionless on the ground, seemingly dead, dying just like that.
Suddenly, the scene fell silent as everyone looked at Su Changxing, like they were all fighting a boss together, only to be taken down by one person’s simple attack.
"This... this is incredible!" Li Ying appeared utterly shocked, feeling Su Changxing effortlessly killed the monster.
Thunder Mountain lay on the ground, somewhat bewildered as he looked at the already dead iron-skinned monster.
Su Changxing holstered his pistol and yawned, saying, "A bit weak, it seems it’s all resolved. You go check on Thunder Mountain; I’ll go first."
Thunder Mountain’s injuries didn’t seem severe, as he got up from the ground and began dealing with the monster’s corpse.
Su Changxing turned back toward Thunder Mountain, shouting, "Leave that monster’s crystal core for me."
This monster was basically killed by him, so taking its Extraordinary Crystal poses no issue.
Making pendants requires a large amount of Extraordinary Crystals for support, stabilizing the process and increasing the success rate of item creation.
This was something Su Changxing discovered unintentionally during his operations, Extraordinary Power can make mysterious materials change shape more easily.
Thunder Mountain hurriedly shouted, "Of course, this thing is originally yours."
He Ying, with a sniper rifle, twisted her graceful body and walked forward, smiling widely, "Mr. Su, you’re so amazing, you must be a Tier Eight Extraordinary, really enviable."
Su Changxing glanced sideways at her, suddenly saying, "Your strength as an Extraordinary is somewhat too weak."
"······" He Ying prepared to say something, but Su Changxing’s words stopped her.
In a moment of clarity, Su Changxing felt something strange, turned back to look at the "Iron Cat’s" corpse, and again glanced at the kill information on his phone, confirming that the monster was dead.
But what was this illusion?
At some moment, the monster gave him the illusion that it was still alive.
Su Changxing suddenly drew his pistol again, aiming at "Iron Anchor’s" corpse and pulling the trigger, the bullet skimming past Thunder Mountain’s ear, once more piercing the iron skin, shooting out brilliant sparks.
"What’s wrong?" Thunder Mountain was startled.
He Dongsheng heard the gunshots, turned back to look at the monster’s body, and dumbfoundedly asked, "Mr. Su, what’s wrong? Isn’t that monster dead?"
He suspected Su Changxing had a habit of corpse desecration, of course, this was quite normal; the personalities of those who survived the apocalypse tended to be somewhat distorted, making it unsurprising to develop some strange habits.
Especially for those who become Extraordinary, there are always some strange behaviors.
Su Changxing also doesn’t know what this guy is imagining, he just feels his expression is a bit odd, and waves his hand: "It’s nothing, it’s just that my hand suddenly feels itchy."
Very perfunctory words.
"······"
Li Ying’s mouth twitched, feeling that Su Changxing’s behavior was somewhat unfathomable.
Thunder Mountain caught up from behind and said: "Mr. Su, let’s have dinner together tonight. We’ve prepared good wine and meat as a token of thanks from our gathering for killing that monster."
Su Changxing nodded and said: "No problem, but your injuries are quite severe. You should probably get treated first."
Thunder Mountain, covered in blood, indifferently said: "It’s a minor issue, I’ll go to Miss Bai for treatment later."
By the time they returned to the gathering, darkness had already fallen, and the street lights were lit up.
Here the power system is relatively complete, but the water supply has been cut off, requiring alternative methods to obtain water.
This is just a minor problem as Anxi Town still has a large supply of bottled water, enough for these people to use for a long time.
Moreover, if worse comes to worst, they can use points to exchange for water at the Doomsday Shop.
The Doomsday Shop has plenty of miscellaneous items.
"It’s this again, who exactly is it, some Wizard?"
Su Changxing looked up at the sky, always feeling that someone was watching him in some way, a malevolent gaze, as if many pairs of eyes were scattered across the sky.
Xu Kai followed behind, holding a machete, and asked: "Teacher, where are we going?"
Su Changxing pointed to the brightly lit location in the distance and said: "Thunderfire Gang, Thunder Mountain invited us for dinner, but when we get there, you don’t need to eat, just stand by my side."
"Hmm, okay."
Xu Kai didn’t have any doubts about this, thinking it’s what a disciple should do.
Thunderfire Gang has many people; it’s the largest organization in this gathering, mainly responsible for searching for supplies externally and clearing monsters.
In front of the gate, seven or eight armed guards stand watch, one of whom has keen eyes and noticed Su Changxing from afar, coming up with a smile and said:
"Hey, Lord Su, our boss is waiting inside, other Lords have arrived already."
This person was here before, so he recognizes Su Changxing.
Under his guidance, Su Changxing and Xu Kai entered the territory of Thunderfire Gang, hearing the sounds of revelry, a large bonfire surrounded by many singing, eating, and chatting.
A very lively scene.
For those living in the apocalypse, this is a rare joyous time.
They arrived at a Western-style restaurant, the hall cleared out with a large round table placed inside, surrounded by several women in cheongsam, their faces carried polite smiles.
Everything here makes one feel like they’re before the apocalypse.
The room is quiet with whispered conversations, other than Su Changxing, all other Extraordinary have arrived, though Miss Bai is still absent.
"Am I late?" Su Changxing looked at them, smiled, and said.
Thunder Mountain laughed heartily and said: "Haha, not late at all, just in time, the person who made this meal was once a Michelin chef, a meal like this before the apocalypse would cost at least a thousand."
Su Changxing sat opposite of Thunder Mountain, and Xu Kai stood behind him.
"Is your disciple an Extraordinary?" He Dongsheng looked at Xu Kai and asked, noticing the pendant on his neck at a glance.
Su Changxing shook his head and said: "Not for now, but soon."
Several people showed surprised expressions.
He Dongsheng exclaimed: "Could it be that Mr. Su has a way to make someone become Extraordinary, I heard that during the zombie apocalypse, someone had mastered such a method."
Su Changxing chuckled lightly: "Is that so? I wasn’t aware."
Thunder Mountain raised a glass and said: "Let’s drink, let’s drink. We welcome Mr. Su’s arrival, our gathering can surely go further."
Others also raised their glasses.
Su Changxing glanced at the pale yellow liquid in the glass, raised his glass, and drank it in one go, with a rich wine aroma.
"This wine’s taste is indeed very good, Boss Lei, just what kind of wine is this?" He Dongsheng praised, it’s his first time drinking Thunder Mountain’s wine.
Thunder Mountain showed a proud expression and said: "I personally mix this, generally can’t drink it······ I previously worked as a Bartender, who would have guessed."
Su Changxing showed a strange expression, knowing Thunder Mountain’s position as "Bartender," but others seemed unaware.
He Ying, after drinking some wine, face flushed, said: "The taste is indeed nice, Brother Lei, you are definitely not a regular Bartender."
