Chapter 62: Chapter 62: Blind Snipe
On the forum, there are always far more buyers than sellers of food, and Su Changxing generally does choose buyers on a first-come-first-served basis.
In just over ten minutes, Su Changxing sold all these supplies and gained 9,160 points.
[Total Points: 14,722]
"Although I’m not the one who killed them, the points do come quickly. Murder and arson really do pay off."
Su Changxing climbed down from the second floor and continued toward his intended target, as the zombies silently fell in the darkness.
Although his archery frequency was very fast now, due to needing to retrieve the arrows, his progress wasn’t very quick.
Half an hour later, Su Changxing came near the next Mysterious Shop and found that the battle at this Mysterious Shop was unusually fierce, with over a dozen bodies lying on the ground in front of the shop.
"Is it really worth it? To die over a Mysterious Shop like this."
Su Changxing guessed it must have been caused by two equally powerful groups fighting, and after taking a look from a distance, he was ready to turn around and leave.
There probably wasn’t anything left in this Mysterious Shop, so there was no need to go over there.
Just as Su Changxing turned to walk away, he felt the skin on his back tingle and instinctively dodged forward.
Szzzl~
His clothes were torn, and a burning pain came from his back.
"Haha, your reaction is really quick."
A strange laugh sounded behind Su Changxing.
Su Changxing turned around to see a hooded, masked man standing behind him, holding a bright short blade with a thick back.
The short blade was covered with dark red liquid.
Damn, is this person hiding in front of the Mysterious Shop to kill people? He must have gone mad after killing over a dozen victims.
In Su Changxing’s view, the masked person had rings of bright patterns, looking completely different from Ordinary People.
Su Changxing glanced at the corpses in front of the Mysterious Shop and said in a deep voice, "I suppose those people were also killed by you. I’ve already left—what’s the point in chasing me down to kill me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what do you think?"
The masked man slowly disappeared until he was completely gone before Su Changxing.
The next moment, the sound of wind came from the air, and Su Changxing instinctively dodged backward, as blood splattered high, leaving a deep cut on his arm as a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Su Changxing raised his Steel Saber and swung a powerful horizontal slash, but the opponent deftly retreated a step, dodging the Steel Saber, and once again began to disappear into the darkness.
He definitely couldn’t wait for the opponent to disappear again, so he leaped forward, slashing again, missing, as the masked person vanished from sight.
Superpower?
Su Changxing couldn’t sense the person’s location at all, no changes in light or sound, only when the person attacked could he feel a slight hint of wind.
Run!
Without any hesitation, he turned and ran back, having realized from the earlier exchange that his speed was superior to the opponent’s.
However, after running only a few steps, Su Changxing sensed wind from the front, raising his sword to block.
With a metal-clashing sound, he luckily managed to block the attack steadily and immediately withdrew his blade to run with all his might.
A few breaths later, wind sounded once more from his rear left. Due to the angle, he couldn’t block in time and could only try to dodge backward.
A flash of cold light, and the masked man made another deep cut on his shoulder, the scorching pain making Su Changxing’s lips tremble.
Enduring the pain, gritting his teeth, Su Changxing turned to run back again, blood splattering onto the ground behind him.
After some probing, he understood that the masked man’s strength and speed were inferior to his, yet once the opponent vanished, his movement speed was much faster.
And due to the opponent’s Invisibility, he had hardly any chance to counterattack,
Su Changxing looked back to see the masked man disappearing from sight again, his mind accelerating, as straight lines constructed a three-dimensional coordinate axis centered around him.
He roughly estimated the masked man’s speed: if the opponent charged directly, he would reach his back within three breaths, but if taking a detour, it would take four breaths, appearing at his side—whether left or right wasn’t certain.
That’s considering the opponent attacks without hesitation; if the masked man slowed the attack tempo, it would make him even more passive.
Last time, the person attacked from the left, so this time it’s most likely from the right—no, definitely the right. There’s an abandoned car on the left, which would restrict his movement space.
Su Chang suddenly stopped, raising the Shadow Bow, turning around, a dark arrow appearing in his hand, estimating the opponent’s general position, nocking, drawing within one breath, decisively shooting.
The masked man suddenly appeared in view, eyes dull, body stiffened in place, an arrow piercing through his neck.
No matter how he couldn’t fathom how Su Changxing managed to shoot him, does this person possess a method to see through his Stealth? Why didn’t the arrow leave a trail?
"Why······"
With a hoarse whisper, the masked man slowly fell.
Su Changxing took a long breath, looking at the fallen masked man, and thought, "Blind shot, understand? Blind shot."
If he guessed wrong, he’d fall into an even greater passive situation, and he might have been the one to die.
"Really a madman, not a word, just straight into a fight."
Su Changxing complained while searching the masked man’s body but found nothing, not even a phone, only a delicately crafted short knife.
The short knife was longer and narrower than a kitchen knife, the tip having a chamfer. Although well-maintained, it was obviously old, covered with various scratches.
"No phone? A survivor from this world?"
Su Changxing frowned; phones can’t be discarded before the owner’s death. Once more than ten meters away, they reappear by the owner’s side.
And this masked person having no phone almost certainly confirms he’s not from their world of humans.
Su Changxing took out his phone and indeed found the kill information jumped.
[Killed Human (Extraordinary), gained 200 points]
Su Changxing pulled down the mask, revealing a young man beneath, yet his face was shedding skin, large patches of white keratin present.
"This is a symptom of a zombie mutation. He’s an Extraordinary and shows mutation symptoms······"
Su Changxing furrowed his brows, as threads of clues linked in his mind like drawing, thread by thread unraveling.
The world’s desolation is just a facade; humans here haven’t died out completely, merely all the Ordinary People have perished.
Only Extraordinary survive, only Extraordinary can live on, the Energy Net plan aimed to create Extraordinary, making everyone an Extraordinary.
In fact, the Shield Company succeeded: everyone became an Extraordinary, those who didn’t have died out.
Realizing this, Su Changxing’s mind cleared, feeling close to uncovering the truth behind the apocalypse; however, why the Shield Company did this, where their technology came from, remains unknown.
Considering this society’s developmental level, normal progress couldn’t produce such black technology that traverses science and mysticism boundaries, aiming for the entire society to ascend together, attempting the true realization of everyone being like a Dragon.
