Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 402 - 396: The Giant Tree

Qu Zhaoyu is indeed a good person, the class committee member, with quite a good family background. Although he is smooth in dealing with people, he is also gentle.

"You’re quite lucky to have survived until now." Su Changxing turned his head to notice that Qiu Jing and a few others were watching the situation from not far away.

Qu Zhaoyu took a bite of the spicy beef in his bowl, nodded, and said, "Yes, during the Blood Moon, we thought we were doomed, but fortunately, not many zombies came to find us."

"I heard that some settlements obtained a lot of food because of the Blood Moon. It seems the Blood Moon isn’t entirely a bad thing."

"I’m still quite worried about my parents. I haven’t been able to contact them, and I guess they are in danger too."

The monk suddenly said, "If you need, I can recite a section of the Rebirth Scripture for them."

"······"

Qu Zhaoyu silently took another bite of wood ear fungus.

Su Changxing thought the monk was a little genius at chatting; perhaps only he could have an unobstructed conversation with the monk.

Meanwhile, Qiu Jing and the others were watching with their mouths watering.

"Ha, he just sat there and started eating."

"This isn’t fair, not fair."

······

Once finished eating, Su Changxing lay back in the chair and closed his eyes, looking very sleepy.

Wu Qingsheng went out again in the afternoon and hadn’t returned yet. It wasn’t until nightfall that he walked up to the second floor and shouted:

"Brother Su, you better come to the balcony and take a look, at that thing."

Seeing Wu Qingsheng looking somewhat nervous, Su Changxing got up and walked over, asking, "What’s wrong?"

Wu Qingsheng pointed at the sky outside and said, "The tree in our settlement seems to be growing larger; we can even see it from here."

A towering dead tree, its branches pierced through the clouds, emitting a faint blood-red glow under the moonlight.

The sky turned red.

Towering like a mountain.

Su Changxing suddenly felt as if the world had completely changed.

Danger.

Danger.

Intuition continuously warned him.

Su Changxing decisively said, "Let’s go, we must leave here immediately. Have people pack up, and we’ll head in the direction away from the tree."

After speaking.

He paused and said, "Have everyone post on the forum, telling those who see this tree to stay away from this area."

Wu Qingsheng’s eyelid twitched, realizing something was wrong, and shouted, "A Long, have everyone pack up. We’re leaving here immediately."

A Long was stunned for a moment and said, "Uh, but it’s already nighttime, and it could be problematic for so many people to go out together."

Wu Qingsheng immediately cursed, "Just do as I say, don’t talk so much nonsense."

It took them just over ten or twenty minutes to get ready, and over a hundred people began moving away from the dead tree, heading in another direction. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Many people didn’t even understand what was happening, but Wu Qingsheng had significant control over them, so not much explanation was needed.

Meanwhile.

More than a hundred identical posts appeared on the forum, causing quite a stir. Many people saw that tree.

A verse describes towering mountains, "How is Mount Tai? The green hills of Qi and Lu never end." It’s roughly like this situation now.

A tree as high as a mountain used to be mythical; now, it’s reality.

Some believed it, some did not.

But these posts did lead some capable people to start fleeing from the direction of the dead tree.

Wu Qingsheng also sensed the danger, which was evident for the Extraordinaries, like animals reacting to a disaster.

"At night, these zombies can easily form an Undead Tide. We’d better split into several teams and act separately," Wu Qingsheng said.

Even as an Extraordinary, he was powerless against an Undead Tide, at best ensuring his escape and that of a few others.

Su Changxing waved one hand, and a scythe as tall as he appeared before him. He said, "No need, I’ll clear the way; you just follow."

To him, these zombies were now like tofu, extremely fragile. In an almost sweeping manner, they ran along the main road towards the other side of the city.

The dead tree seemed to be growing visibly, its upper branches appearing both real and illusory, like a red projection.

"This world is like a big cake, frantically being snatched away by external forces."

Su Changxing speculated that the tree was invading this world, or rather some resource within it, and those demon puppets before were just a setup.

The old man didn’t chase them, not because he couldn’t catch up but because he didn’t care; it had no meaning.

This familiar haziness reminded Su Changxing of that Blood Moon World, guessing this was related to it.

Destroying the Energy Station seemed to trigger a series of chain reactions, which might have been different from the game’s original script.

"Ah!!"

A screech came from the front.

Four or five purple figures charged toward them from straight ahead, knocking many zombies aside and trampling them into meat paste.

"It’s the Screamers!"

Exclamations came from behind.

Many showed expressions of despair; encountering Screamers in such a situation was undoubtedly a dead-end.

Su Changxing showed a hint of a smile; this was exactly what he needed, as the Screamer’s heart was one of the materials for advancement.

Roaring gunfire erupted.

Su Changxing moved in and fired two shots, blowing the heads off two Screamers. Seeing this, the other Screamers turned and ran like frightened dogs.

He did not pursue them but crushed a card, and a blood-red dagger appeared atop one of the Screamer’s heads.

[Stolen Combat Dagger: Can mark targets for long-distance tracking.]

This was Zhu Wenwu’s ability and the last card related to him.

His position allowed him to permanently steal others’ abilities, but the number of permanent steals had a limit, beyond which problems arose.

This might be due to the incompleteness of the position or because of his own limit, like a cup that can absorb water but cannot hold it infinitely, only having so much space.

So he also completely suppressed the idea of stealing others’ abilities, unless encountering one with great usefulness.

Su Changxing stopped to dissect the Screamer’s corpse, extracting a purple heart crystal core. Including these two, he had four in total. He needed sixteen more to proceed to the next advancement.

This delay allowed the Undead Tide to approach again, but Wu Qingsheng and others were not anxious at all, entirely convinced by Su Changxing’s strength.

Qu Zhaoyu’s group was even more deeply shocked, feeling it was unreal, with the first reaction being that Su Changxing had been pretending before. How could someone who was in a wheelchair ten days ago be this formidable?
