By the time the Security Bureau people got here, they should have already lost most of their fighting power, being at an absolute disadvantage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An nodded, indicating he understood. He knew Su Changxing said this to reassure them and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just feel this battle is too cruel and brutal, happening in despair and hopelessness, and yet it has to go on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t lament.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu patted Zhou An on the shoulder, pointed at the gas station, and said, \"There’s something inside, maybe those monsters... but the aura is a bit weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing made a hand gesture to call Monkey King from the back to circle around to the back of the gas station while he approached from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was open, and the ground was covered with dusty, messy footprints. There was a noise coming from under the counter. Su Changxing slowly walked over, holding a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hoarse voice could be heard, with a mouth full of blood, sounding indistinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing countered, \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"······\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person fell silent, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing walked over, his eyes narrowing involuntarily, seeing a man with a broken leg, leaning weakly against the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were blood marks everywhere, and the blood had already congealed. By rights, he should have died long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Su, how come you are here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man spoke in a Chongqing dialect, both surprised and trembling, full of disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huang Jixiang?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing was somewhat unsure. The person resembled the Security Bureau member he had encountered earlier, whose squad had been wiped out, leading him to join Chen Ling’s squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His appearance had changed dramatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang’s face moved slightly, and he quickly nodded, \"Yes, it’s me, it’s me... How did you come here? It’s very dangerous here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing took a bottle of water, opened the cap, and handed it to him, saying, \"What happened to you guys? Where are the others?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang drank a big gulp of water, oblivious to the fact that his chest was already soaked, with water flowing out of a hole in his chin, speaking indistinctly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the time we got here, we encountered those monsters. They ambushed us, and we lost a lot of people, a lot of people...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu’s eyes slightly trembled, looking at Huang Jixiang’s state, feeling uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An leaned on the counter and said nothing, gazing outside, remaining on guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ambush?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These monsters knew they were coming in?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing pondered and asked, \"Did anyone else survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang said dazedly, \"Yes, Captain Chen Ling is still alive, leading the rest further in, saying that we must complete the mission. I was too injured and stayed here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, they haven’t come back in a long time... Have I been abandoned?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized his abnormal thoughts; when alone, he would tend to think a lot, thinking more comprehensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, \"Probably not, maybe they haven’t come out yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang’s face showed a look of disappointment, \"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still hoped that Chen Ling and the others would return alive, clinging to that hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes, hope is improbable, based on human self-suggestion and solace, crucial yet hindering rational judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang suddenly shouted, \"Brother Su, can you save me? I know you are very powerful, you must be an Extraordinary. Save me, I don’t want to die yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing felt his brow tingling slightly but didn’t rub it. Given that he and Huang Jixiang were somewhat acquainted, he wanted to try saving him if possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted Huang Jixiang on the shoulder with one hand and said, \"Before you came in, you already knew you might die, but you still came, didn’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang nodded woodenly, \"Yes, this is important, we’re doing this for everyone, someone must sacrifice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood Su Changxing’s meaning, full of bitterness but retaining some rationality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing smiled and said, \"Leave him some food, and we’ll go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu nodded, about to grab some food and drink for Huang Jixiang, when suddenly a swish sound was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing turned and decisively severed Huang Jixiang’s head with a single stroke, cleanly and sharply, only the dark red blood splattered beside the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face blank, he calmly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He couldn’t survive, living would just be painful, better to die sooner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jixiang was showing signs of turning into a monster, though the specific changes were unknown; directly killing him was the best option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Security Bureau might still have people alive in the town; that’s some good news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu said, thinking it might mean potential allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing nodded in agreement, showing no happiness: \"Their determination is greater than I imagined...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An felt somewhat depressed. Seeing others’ miserable states naturally made him think of himself. Without Su Changxing, he might still be in the settlement or dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Individual actions are always unpredictable, but groups can be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu nudged Zhou An with his elbow and said, \"Don’t overthink, with Brother Su, we’re fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An snapped back and laughed, \"Ha, no, I just felt... it’s a pity, yes, such a pity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan’an Town was large, with a river crossing its middle, a small city looking shaped like a shield from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting close to the town, Su Changxing immediately felt Mysteriousness rising even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Energy Station’s influence was again enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu and the others could feel it too, not clearly but enough to feel uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone’s watching us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu whispered, casting a sidelong glance around, focusing on the first and second floors of a nearby building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most likely, these were the monsters; this was their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, as Su Changxing and the others reached the middle of the street, several figures rushed from the surrounding alleys, encircling them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, isn’t the outside nice? Why do so many people rush inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing opposite Su Changxing, a man with a swollen chest grinned, thinking of Su Changxing and the others as meat on a chopping board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing said with some surprise, \"So, you are from the inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stressed the word \"people\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man fiddled with the machete in his hand, the blade stained with not fully dried blood marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An snorted coldly, \"So you monsters were once people from our world?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s charcoal-black face showed a strange smile, \"Monsters? No, we are New humans, far stronger than you, New humans. Haha, you are truly pathetic, knowing nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An retorted, \"I think you are the pathetic ones, turning into monsters and unaware. Are you really from our world...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s eyes slitted, seemingly angered by Zhou An’s words, \"So what if we are? The result is, you die, and we live. The dead seem to have no say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1171,"2026-06-05T22:29:48.975Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e0a7fed8337eaf7a4f36a2432c626642d8b0c2a828b7e944dae4cfc53055b8b","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-324","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-322",584,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-game-i-have-portable-store-cover.jpg"]
