Trusting or not trusting is a matter of a single thought.

If you want to doubt others, there are thousands of reasons to do so; if you want to trust, there’s only one reason, and that’s genuine trust.

Su Changxing hesitated momentarily, or rather, under the circumstances, he didn’t completely trust the other party.

Once Extraordinary beings edge towards losing control, many things go beyond their control.

Su Changxing questioned, "What exactly do you mean?"

Zhu Wenwu remained silent for a long time before saying, "... Human beings as Extraordinary grow too slowly, but after I transformed into a Blood Species, I could gain immense Power in a short time."

"Didn’t you realize? We’re essentially racing against time. If we had this kind of Power back in the Zombie World, not so many would have died."

"Now is the same, and so it will be in the future. Ultimately, becoming an Extraordinary is just a way to gain Power."

He recalled the scenes in his mind.

A voice emphasized that he must not reveal the truth, at least not now; making too many changes would lead events to unpredictable directions.

Due to the rules, if he exposed too much information, he could very well be detected by hidden forces and forcibly eliminated.

At this moment,

Su Changxing felt a sense of unfamiliarity with Zhu Wenwu, a kind of unfamiliarity that comes from being apart for a long time, yet he and Zhu Wenwu had only been apart for just over a month.

Zhu Wenwu’s current display of composure and familiarity with the Chen Mansion was something that wasn’t there before.

Logically, he died in the Zombie World, and his memory should have been wiped. Even if he became an Extraordinary, he should have grown very slowly.

He was inherently a person lacking in courage and bloodthirstiness, which is a common trait for most people living in peaceful times.

Yet Zhu Wenwu soon became an Extraordinary again, steadily increasing his strength, now becoming a Tier Eight Extraordinary.

Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, "So you’re now a Blood Species?"

Zhu Wenwu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not entirely, but one could say human, or how humans evolve into Blood Species... It was accomplished with the help of a High Tier Extraordinary item, ’Fang of Hunger.’"

He took out a white stone that looked like a heart.

Su Changxing recognized at first sight that this was a remnant of a Rank A Crown Mysterious Item, having lost its original power, and said:

"Are you sure you can control yourself?"

Zhu Wenwu confidently nodded and said, "Yes, I’m very sure. This is actually a well-thought-out decision on my part."

Su Changxing put away the revolver, pursed his lips, and smiled: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Let’s head out first, Zhou An is still waiting outside... It’s best not to tell anyone about this, including Zhou An, he can’t keep things hidden."

Zhu Wenwu nodded: "Yes, I know."

Su Changxing still had some doubts in his heart, but didn’t ask, knowing Zhu Wenwu was hiding something from him.

He wasn’t rigid, and if Zhou An could control such Power, that would be great. In the apocalypse, so many people died, not even getting a chance to struggle.

It’s always better to be alive than dead.

Although Su Changxing still didn’t quite agree with this approach, it might not be impossible to try.

"You killed that White Mask!"

Zhou An walked over, full of surprise, looking at Zhu Wenwu.

Zhu Wenwu smiled and said, "That’s right, I should be slightly stronger than you now."

Zhou An’s face suddenly stiffened. He realized that unknowingly, he had become the weakest again, sighing:

"You’re a freak, your strength increases too quickly, like you’re flying. It makes it hard for others to live... I saw your hair was white before, now it’s black. What’s the principle behind this?"

Zhu Wenwu smirked and casually said, "I have the ability to change my hair color."

"Is this a cold joke?" Zhou An was taken aback.

Zhu Wenwu showed a slight smile and said, "Then why aren’t you laughing?"

"Ha ha." Zhou An sneered.

Zhou An didn’t seem to notice Zhu Wenwu’s anomaly, or perhaps he noticed but didn’t pay much attention.

Next, they walked all the way to Anxi Town, preparing to rest there before making plans.

Halfway there, Zhu Wenwu suddenly stopped, looked back, and said, "A Wizard is following us, you guys go ahead, I’ll handle it."

Su Changxing gave him a deep look, said nothing more, just reminded him, "Alright, take care of yourself."

With that, Zhu Wenwu turned and ran back.

In the nearby forest, indeed, there was a Wizard secretly watching them.

The Wizard sensed Zhu Wenwu running towards him and immediately became alert, turning around to flee.

He wasn’t afraid of Zhu Wenwu, but apprehensive about Su Changxing.

Su Changxing had killed many of them and was somewhat famous.

As for other humans in this world, he didn’t care much; most were weak, some were entirely powerless.

With these thoughts, the Wizard felt a chill on his forehead, reached up to touch it, and found it was blood.

A blood-red dagger had somehow been embedded in his forehead.

This did not take his life.

He accelerated along the path, as if chased by an Evil Ghost.

At this moment, he glanced back, but couldn’t find Zhu Wenwu’s figure; it seemed he had left.

But he knew Zhu Wenwu was definitely still following him.

The more he thought this way, the colder his hands and feet became, his heart pounded uncontrollably. One hand clenched a Spell, a pale blue shield enveloped him to prevent external attacks.

With a tearing sound, he fell to the ground, continuously coughing up blood, but there were no wounds on his body.

He collapsed on the ground, staring at the dark sky, struggling continuously for a full half-minute, yet no one had caught up.

But his life force was diminishing, his vision blurring, and his limbs growing cold.

Finally, he died, his body’s organs ceased functioning, losing all vitality.

"Wizards seem to have strong life force but actually have more fatal weaknesses."

Zhu Wenwu stood not far away, one hand in his pocket, holding a puppet with strings in the other, coldly staring at the Wizard’s corpse.

He understood these Wizards very well, having fought countless times, understanding their abilities, understanding their body structure, understanding their habits.

After that, Zhu Wenwu didn’t turn back, but ran towards Donglin City.

He was preparing to fetch the head of a Red Robed Wizard, who was currently nearby, possessing a very important item.

...

Su Changxing also noticed Zhu Wenwu running towards Donglin City, knowing he was going to assassinate a Wizard, indicating it was a small task, quite safe.

"It’s quite perfunctory."

He felt a bit helpless, thinking that Zhu Wenwu’s actions were entirely beyond his control, but as long as there was no betrayal, it wasn’t a big issue.

"Where is he?" Zhou An asked.

Su Changxing waved his hand and gestured, "Let’s go ahead, he’s off to do a small task."
