Although this place was near the border, there was still a possibility of encountering those \"new humans\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s always good to be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They aren’t moving, it seems like they are resting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiuyu said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, we’re almost out of here. Usually, people wouldn’t rest at this location, unless they encountered some special situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, makes sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing agreed with his point, comparing it to being in snowy weather, with a warm house right in front, you wouldn’t stop to rest outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou An pondered and said, \"Could it be they can’t move anymore? If that’s the case······\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled the sight of the Security Bureau member they encountered earlier, whose body was ruptured. Though alive, he had already turned into a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing shook his head and said solemnly, \"That shouldn’t be the case. The possibility of transforming into a monster is very low, and it’s almost impossible for three to appear simultaneously.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a few thousand people entered from the Security Bureau, and maybe a few would mutate into new humans. Although the probability is higher than becoming an Extraordinary, it’s still very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A towering, withered tree stood there, likely a hundred years old. Hanging on the dead tree were three people stripped of clothes, covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hanging?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Biao’s eyes gleamed sharply as he shouted, \"Prepare for battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiuyu looked around and analyzed, \"It’s man-made, probably those monsters, but where are they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were barren, with only sandy soil. Looking around, there was no obstruction to the view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing gestured, saying, \"Let’s go check over there. Huang Biao, take the second team and cover us from behind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second team had more long-range ability Extrordinaries, such as Zhou An and Chang Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiuyu bravely walked at the forefront, whispering:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If a fight breaks out, I won’t be much help. You guys are the tough ones. If possible, rescue those three and ask them what happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing glanced at him and said, \"You don’t have any combat ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xiuyu nodded seriously and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m a non-combatant staff member. Our Security Bureau has duty divisions, unlike you guys, where anyone can fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, quite thick-skinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing surveyed the area but didn’t notice anything unusual. The more normal it seemed, the more unusual it felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they approached, the people on the tree suddenly stirred. The person at the front, the longest in body, weakly whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go, go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing immediately stopped and said, \"No, let’s retreat first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others promptly stopped as well, quickly retreating without any hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled, and several dark-skinned figures burst out from the sand, charging toward them. Shouts and battle cries erupted in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing drew his pistol and shot at the figures in front, each bullet Precisely piercing through their heads, causing them to burst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their movements didn’t stop, as they continued charging like marionettes; losing their heads didn’t affect them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Runwei led a few people from the side, smashing one of the figures to pieces with a single blow, revealing tree branches within the flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They’re connected to these branches!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Runwei shouted in astonishment as he raised his Iron Hammer and struck another figure. His attacks were very effective, capable of completely destroying these bodies and ceasing their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ground shook and dust filled the air, it was impossible to see inside. Yet people continuously rushed out from within, but their strength wasn’t particularly strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an even larger tremor, Su Changxing saw a giant shadow swinging toward him through the airborne dust, creating pressure from the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like a palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing closed his eyes, and his vision elevated. He saw amid the sandstorm, that the tree with three corpses hanging from it also rose, revealing a headless, gigantic body underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, only its upper half was buried in the ground. A single arm raised high, attempting to strike Su Changxing, seemingly aware that he posed the greatest threat among these people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although its arm was huge, its Speed was not particularly fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing charged from the side with his Steel Saber, slashing diagonally at the wrist of the hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It cut through like tofu, as if there was no hindrance; the entire hand was severed, with a clean and smooth cut, no blood spurting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cry of agony echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deep and hoarse voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, \"True Knowledge\" provided considerable information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>{\"Tree-like Humans: Beings combined with some strange trees, possessing immense Life Force—each human is a part of its life.\"}\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other arm swung toward him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This arm was different, entwined and penetrated by tree roots, looking like some sort of deformed plant mass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing sidestepped and slashed again, sparks flew as the blade met resistance; the hand wasn’t cut as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree roots’ strength was beyond imagination, akin to steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The immense force pinned his body in place, tensing his muscles abruptly, compressing the joints between bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a large size indeed has a natural advantage in Power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Changxing reached for his revolver with the other hand, firing at the gaps between the roots. Explosive sparks creating a large hole at the wrist’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hand lifted again, poised to smash down on Su Changxing, but due to the hole, the joint weakened, fracturing and wobbling, with only the roots holding it together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he saw Zhu Wenwu charging with his Steel Sword toward the creature’s back, evading puppets along the way, focused only on the blood-red dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his Ability, he could easily pinpoint the creature’s weakness, a trait of his position, naturally advantaged against such corrupted beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster noticed Zhu Wenwu’s sudden charge, but with both arms disabled by Su Changxing, the puppets couldn’t keep up with Zhu Wenwu’s Speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Wenwu stepped onto the monster’s earthen mound body, leaping upwards, sensing the creature’s weakness at the connection between its giant form and the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conclusion was easy to reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind went blank, devoid of fear or other emotions, focused only on killing the monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An overwhelming rush surged to the top.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He witnessed an extremely nauseating scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Multiple skeletal heads with protruding flesh stared at him, baring unsettling, joyous smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-05T22:29:48.975Z",1,"novelbin.me","b311513214cba765c78a73f617df3b5375bb51919ede82e25311084a63e874de","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-344","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-342",584,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-game-i-have-portable-store-cover.jpg"]
