Chapter 561: Chapter 143: The Gift of Prophecy

The room was in chaos, with a large hole broken in the ceiling. A few of the Extraordinary individuals were not dead but were seriously injured.

Conversely, those women in cheongsams, although not drinking, were affected by Thunder Mountain’s ability, and two of them died.

The life of Ordinary People is too fragile, with any slight interaction posing a threat to their lives.

Xu Kai moved the bodies of several people together, and Su Changxing used the Totem Fragments to keep them alive.

The healing effect of the Totem Fragments was barely sufficient for the Extraordinary, making it very difficult to heal them.

However, the advantage of the Totem Fragments is that they can be reused.

After using the Healing Totem Fragment, it turns into a Crying Totem Fragment, and after absorbing a certain amount of Blood Energy, it becomes a Healing Totem Fragment again.

This is somewhat similar to the original characteristics of the Healing Totem, but the effect is much weaker.

"What’s up with that Boss Lei?" Xu Kai asked full of doubt.

Su Changxing looked at the mummified corpse of Thunder Mountain and explained:

"Players can receive rewards by completing tasks, thereby enhancing their strength. Thunder Mountain was a Doomsday Cultist, and they have their own separate task system, and these tasks are often more brutal and bloody."

Thunder Mountain had just died not long ago when intense footsteps were heard outside. Dozens of people rushed in, pointing guns at them.

Leading them was He Dongchu, dressed in denim. He saw the body of Thunder Mountain, his heart trembled, and he said cautiously, "Did you kill Boss Lei?"

They understood Thunder Mountain’s strength well, and the fact that Su Changxing could kill him meant he could also kill them.

Su Changxing looked at his conflicted and grave expression, feeling like a major villain, and sternly said:

"Thunder Mountain was indeed a Doomsday Cultist. According to the previous announcement by the Security Bureau, a Doomsday Cultist equates to death sentence on sight, so killing him should be no problem."

A short-haired man with dark skin raised his weapon and said, "So what? Even if that’s the case, it’s none of your business, and who cares about those rules and regulations now."

Su Changxing glanced at him and said calmly, "I’m the team leader of the Security Bureau. Do you have any problem with that?"

"······" The man immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

Su Changxing picked up the wine jug on the table, took a big drink, and said with a light laugh, "If any of you have opinions and wish to follow Thunder Mountain, I will treat you as Doomsday Cultists."

He Dongchu looked at the unconscious He Dongsheng and tentatively asked, "Is my brother also a Doomsday Cultist?"

He was sure that He Dongsheng was not a part of the Doomsday Cult, as they had come through the apocalypse together and knew each other well.

Su Changxing put down the wine jug and innocently said:

"Their injuries weren’t caused by me, but by Thunder Mountain····· you’d better put down your guns, I don’t like it when people point guns at me."

He Dongchu gestured for the others to lower their guns, knowing that for an Extraordinary of Su Changxing’s level, ordinary firearms were hard to be effective and difficult to shoot accurately.

"To think that Boss Lei was a Doomsday Cultist!" He Dongchu ran a hand through his hair, clearly still unable to believe it.

To them, Thunder Mountain was seen as a righteous, courageous person, and it seemed impossible that he would be linked to the Doomsday Cult.

But reality often deviates from expectations.

"Alright, that’s the fact, there’s no need to dwell on it. Is Miss Bai still alive?" Su Changxing shifted the topic.

He Dongchu paused: "Do you mean Miss Bai has been harmed?"

Su Changxing nodded and said, "It’s possible. Where is she? Take me to see."

He was very interested in this Extraordinary with exceptional healing powers, as Thunder Mountain’s injuries were completely healed by her.

He Dongchu looked somewhat angry and said, "Thunder Mountain even wants to kill Miss Bai, he’s worse than a beast····· Mr. Su, I’ll take you over, she’s not far from here."

Led by He Dongsheng, Su Changxing arrived outside a clinic in the small town, but everything seemed calm, as if nothing had happened.

"What happened?"

A woman wearing a wide-brimmed white hat and a long dress slowly walked out of the house, looking at them, her green eyes exceptionally beautiful.

This Miss Bai looked like a Westerner, with deep-set eyes, possibly a mix.

She was not dead and indeed was a Tier Nine Extraordinary.

Su Changxing stepped forward, explaining: "Thunder Mountain was a Doomsday Cultist and has now been slain. We came to see if anything is happening on your side."

Miss Bai was not surprised to hear that Thunder Mountain was dead. Instead, she looked at Su Changxing and asked, "So, who are you?"

Su Changxing smiled and said, "I’m from the Security Bureau."

Miss Bai contemplated and said, "Thunder Mountain’s strength is very strong, and for you to be able to kill him, you must be quite powerful······ Actually, I suspected something was wrong with him before, but no one here was his match."

Su Changxing stared into her eyes and asked bluntly, "So do you also have connections with the Doomsday Cult?"

"No connection." Miss Bai shook her head and replied crisply.

"Those people are seriously injured, I need you to treat them." Su Changxing said, then turned and left, without noticing anything else.

On the way back.

Xu Kai asked thoughtfully: "Isn’t Miss Bai also a Doomsday Cult follower?"

Su Changxing pursed his lips and said lightly: "I don’t know, maybe she is, maybe she’s not, there are even quite a few people here associated with the Doomsday Cult."

"Especially for those players who haven’t become Extraordinary yet, the attraction of the Doomsday Cult is too great."

He felt this issue was exceedingly troublesome, and he even suspected that some people in the Security Bureau might be Doomsday Cultists.

Before they evacuated, he had some suspicions, otherwise, when they had overall control, the Doomsday Cult couldn’t have hidden so well.

This internal corruption is often the most terrifying, unknowingly and deadly, and till now, they still haven’t figured out what the Doomsday Cult actually is or what their purpose is.

The next day at noon, under Miss Bai’s treatment, He Dongsheng and others’ injuries were almost healed.

Lei Shan’s death seemed to have not caused too much impact, everything was still running as usual, though there was significant controversy about the Boss position.

Li Ying and He Dongsheng both wanted to take over the Boss position, involving many things.

Although He Dongsheng’s strength was not as good as Li Ying’s, he had support from He Dongchu, who had considerable influence in the Thunderfire Gang.

"Looks like they almost started a fight, a few people got hurt, but both sides were restrained." Ge Yunhua came back from outside and reported the situation.

Xu Kai heard this and lamented: "Lei Shan’s death caused a split in the Thunderfire Gang, hmm, hard to imagine such a thing happening in the apocalypse, and those wizards are just right in front of us."

······

The blue sword light pierced through, bringing out a bloody glow.

Zhou An cut a massive lizard in half with one sword, and the purple-red blood spurted out, wetting his shoes.

"Ha, Zhu Wenwu, am I awesome or what?" Zhou An laughed aloud, a smug look on his face.

Having progressed to Tier Eight, his strength has soared swiftly over more than a month.

Zhu Wenwu’s face turned dark, feeling a bit unable to stand him anymore, stronger and yet acting as if he’s invincible.

He turned serious, said sternly: "Don’t take it lightly, it’s very possible that Tier Eight monsters will pop up in Donglin City... The dark fog here is particularly thick."

Zhou An thought for a while and said: "Looks like our previous strategy was wrong, we should have evacuated earlier, that way, we could have minimized a considerable amount of loss."

"That’s called hindsight, who could predict what happens afterwards?" Zhu Wenwu said irritably. He felt that this guy’s strength improved, but his brain seems the same.

Zhu Wenwu pouted, indicated, and said: "You, I just feel you have the ability to foresee events, just like before..."

They were very close to Anxi, at most half a day’s journey.

Zhu Wenwu looked around, as if searching for something, matching the sight before him with images in his mind.

He remembered this is a very critical temporal point!

Zhou An was killed here back then, he was also Tier Eight at that time, also a "Mortal breaking swordmaster."

Everything was very similar.

And what he needed to do was to make things deviate from the original path at the crucial point.

Zhou An can’t die here! 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Zhu Wenwu’s face was composed, whispered: "Later, when we encounter someone, don’t rush to attack, look at the situation and follow my command."

Zhou An raised his eyebrows, realized something seemed wrong, asked: "What’s up? Won’t those wizards show up here, right."

Just as he finished speaking, they saw a distant figure, looking at them from afar.

It’s really unexpected that they would encounter someone here.

Evidently, the person had the intention of finding them.

"Ha, isn’t this Captain Zhou? Such a coincidence to meet here."

The voice was eccentric and sarcastic.

A long-haired man, dressed in tattered clothes with a large pair of scissors strapped to his back, shouted.

"Is it you?"

Zhou An knew him, had run into him before in Donglin City, even fought once, the person was a deacon of Chenxi, also an Extraordinary.

At that time, their strengths were almost equal.

"Didn’t expect Captain Zhou still remembers me, I’m deeply honored." The man said with a face full of emotion, his clothes bulging, seemingly containing something.
