Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Captured Again
The head in the backpack spoke: "Just now, even if it were someone else, they wouldn’t have dared to block it with their hand. You’re really ruthless. But what about your injury? Once you’re infected, there’s still a chance you might die."
Due to the life-sharing reason, it was worried about Su Changxing’s body. After all, they’re now like grasshoppers tied together on a string. If Su Changxing really died, it would die as well.
Su Changxing glanced at his injured palm and said nonchalantly, "Let’s wait for death. We can die together then. Anyway, the world is already like this; if we die, then so be it."
The reason he decisively used his palm to block the crossbow arrow earlier was entirely because he had the ability to recover while sleeping, but the head seemed unaware of this ability.
Could it be that the abilities of Extraordinary with the same position differ?
The head let out an awkward laugh: "Haha, no, life is precious. You have to know I acted out of necessity. This world is all about calculations... The human body is too fragile. Let me teach you how to transform into a Zombie body while maintaining complete sanity, and also resist this damned mutation."
Su Changxing replied irritably, "Not being human, becoming a Zombie? Am I the one with the problem, or is it you?"
The head declared confidently, "As long as we stay alive, that’s what’s important. This has always been my creed. When you’re on the brink of death one day, you’ll realize being a Zombie isn’t that bad. Hmm, what’s your name?"
Su Changxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Su Changxing."
The head was about to say something when it suddenly fell silent, sensing movement from ahead.
Su Changxing sensed it too, crouching down beside the wall, hiding himself in the shadows.
At the end of his vision, there was a firelight, and two figures... no, there should be three, with one person being carried.
"Haha, this chick really could run. She even managed to escape from the base. Are those people just eating their fill and doing nothing?"
"It seems the base has had a problem. Otherwise, why would she be able to escape? Let’s hurry back and have a look."
Another person said cautiously.
Su Changxing expressionlessly drew out the Shadow Bow from behind him. A hand appeared holding a dark arrow. He pulled the bowstring, and a perfect parabolic line appeared in his vision.
He had been on a killing spree tonight, having killed more people than he had seen dead in the first half of his life.
"What problem could arise? Could someone storm in and kill all our people? You tell me, little..."
The voice abruptly stopped.
Mu Qing, who was tied up, fell heavily to the ground, feeling a warm liquid falling onto her face from above. She noticed that an arrow was somehow stuck in the forehead of the survivor who had been carrying her.
Who was it?
Su Changxing?
She immediately thought of Su Changxing, as only he would appear in this place and save her.
The other survivor became instantly alert but hadn’t noticed Su Changxing’s position. If it weren’t for the direction of the arrow, he wouldn’t have known whether Su Changxing was in the front or the back.
[Half Twisted Human: Swift Walker Tier Nine, healthy, suspicious]
Swift Walker?
This must be a position related to speed.
Su Changxing drew another arrow to shoot at him, not intending to use a gun, as the noise from firearms was too loud.
In the instant Su Changxing revealed himself to draw the bow, the survivor spotted Su Changxing. His speed bizarrely increased, turning into a shadow rushing towards him, avoiding the arrow along a slight curve.
Against enemies skilled in ranged attacks, close combat is often the best option for most people.
Everything has its strengths, and everyone has their weaknesses. Enemies who excel at ranged attacks often have weaker close combat abilities.
The survivor’s speed was incredibly fast, not allowing Su Changxing time to shoot a second arrow.
Su Changxing’s gaze grew colder, taking a deep breath, his arm muscles suddenly swelling with great power, slashing towards the survivor.
If the opponent chose to take it head-on, he was confident that he could surpass the opponent in both strength and speed. If the opponent chose to retreat, the initiative would still entirely be in his hands.
Of course, he hoped the opponent would confront him directly, as his combat skills were still relatively weak.
The survivor didn’t choose to retreat, wielding an axe, slashing horizontally.
"You are truly brave."
This was not Su Changxing’s voice but the head’s taunting shout.
Instantly, the clash of blade and axe sparked, producing a clear metallic clashing sound.
The survivor’s face showed surprise, his hands growing numb, not expecting the boy to possess such immense strength, giving birth to the desire to retreat, turning around to flee.
But after only a few steps, a blood-red blade emerged from his abdomen, his face showing shock and terror, unable to understand how Su Changxing’s speed was so fast.
At the same time, Su Changxing punched him in the neck, rendering him completely incapable of resistance.
The head mumbled to itself, "You’ve been an Extraordinary for at least half a year, right? Your integration with the position is quite high."
"Pretty much."
Su Changxing pulled out the Steel Saber, then gave the survivor an additional blow to the heart, earning 700 points, and then walked toward Mu Qing: "Don’t speak."
Mu Qing was bound, lying sideways on the ground, the rope running from her hands to her waist to her legs, binding her tightly. Seeing Su Changxing approach, she looked extremely excited.
Su Changxing walked over, seriously saying, "Didn’t we agree that if you got caught again, you’d commit suicide? Why are you still alive?"
"Wooo~"
Mu Qing was saying something unclear, her expression a mix of excitement and happiness.
He used the Steel Saber to cut the ropes on Mu Qing: "You’re really lucky, running into me again."
Mu Qing freed herself from the ropes, pulled the worn cloth from her mouth, and said, "The man you just killed was too fast. I was caught by him before I could react. Bad luck... but also quite lucky. Luckily, I ran into you. Thank you for saving my life."
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "Rescuing you twice, 5,000 points each time, that’s a total of 10,000."
What kind of person is this, always wanting money.
Mu Qing paused in silence and said, "Could it be a bit cheaper? I don’t think I’m worth that much."
Su Changxing seriously replied, "Life is priceless. If we count it this way, I’m at a loss too. Should I raise it a bit more?"
Mu Qing weakly replied, "Hmm, just make it 10,000. I think 10,000 is about right. My life should also be worth 10,000."
Su Changxing’s eyes lit up. He was originally joking but didn’t expect Mu Qing seemed able to afford 10,000 points, saying, "Deal. This way, I’ll have more motivation to save you next time."
Mu Qing took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably irritated by Su Changxing: "I don’t want there to be a next time... I’ll give you the points when I’ve accumulated them. What’s your ID?"
Su Changxing said, "Please call me a good person."
"Hmm?" Mu Qing was startled: "I thought..."
Su Changxing looked at her: "What?"
Mu Qing shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Su Changxing looked towards the dark tunnel and asked, "Do you know the location of the sewer exit up ahead?"
