and the black watchtower that had just been erected also fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue figure ran swiftly through the alleyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A raging fire ignited in Donglin City, wrapped in the heavy black fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of explosion made everyone turn their heads in attention, several gazes infused with solid Spiritual Power focused in this direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone actually dared to attack here, and this wasn’t the first time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same kind of explosion happened yesterday too, but they didn’t catch the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s taunting us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Mu, the Law Enforcement Team Captain, holding a wooden staff, looked at the fallen watchtower in the distance and said viciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also a powerful blue-robed Wizard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Inform the other teams to seal off the intersections, today we cannot let him escape, we must catch him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the Law Enforcement Team, wearing their enforcement robes, spread out into the surrounding streets to pursue the attacker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, twice, but not a third time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they still couldn’t catch the culprit today, his time as the Law Enforcement Team Captain would be over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council wouldn’t forgive him, nor would Great Wizard Rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chased down three streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the culprit, a tall figure with long dark blue hair, holding something in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he saw the girl turn back, with a strange smile on her face, as she threw something at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was nothing visible, yet it felt like something was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dazzling white light with a sense of destruction obscured their vision, and a series of explosions enveloped them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two enormous black hands appeared before Hei Mu, covering him and shielding him from the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bridge spanning the river also began to sway with the explosion, the chains making a distinct grinding noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the explosion subsided, the culprit was nowhere in sight, seemingly having escaped her grasp again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, she hasn’t escaped, she’s still here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hei Mu caught the trail of the escaping culprit, not running out of the city, but heading further inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s hiding in the city, among the civilians, find her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, almost crazed, eyes filled with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ruined city under the Wizards’ jurisdiction still housed a large number of survivors, who couldn’t flee and were stuck there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, these Wizards didn’t exterminate them entirely but instead took them in as the lowest level of civilians, the black folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A High-Level World has immense tolerance for a lower world, much like a large nation can easily absorb a smaller one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards can easily distinguish between Ordinary People and the Extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This distinction is almost impossible to conceal, like the difference between the moon and the stars, both in light and size are markedly distinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ordinary survivors were concentrated in a designated area for management, where they would be counted as the black folks, members of the Wizard World thereafter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and green advertising board lights illuminated the base of the dark watchtower, presenting brick-like patterned walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few soldiers stood above, looking down at these people with a mocking expression, as if watching a spectacle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, this group was no different from prisoners, perhaps even less threatening than prisoners, at least they offered no threat, more like a herd of domesticated sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people on this street were raggedly dressed, carrying weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapons weren’t held for rebellion, but to fend off mutated creatures from the black fog, or the occasional monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These soldiers wouldn’t protect them, and if they weren’t slaughtered that was already a blessing, mostly leaving them to fend for themselves as long as they didn’t leave the management zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little girl with a light blue backpack said pitifully to the nearby adult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl looked very cute, with big eyes, appearing quite spiritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man said with a stern face, \"If you’re hungry, endure it, there’s not much food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another younger man frowned and said, \"Don’t be so harsh, Xiaoyi is young and can’t endure hunger, tomorrow I’ll take on more tasks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! It’s too dangerous, we better just stay here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What danger? No one’s died from it, whereas someone could die from starvation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said no means no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>······\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the management zone, some food would be distributed, but not enough to fill everyone, and left for them to distribute on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large number of people were in a state of hunger, to fill their bellies they must accept \"tasks\" provided by the Wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was voluntary, but in reality, it wasn’t, as they had no other means of obtaining food, to survive they must take on \"tasks\" from the Wizards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called tasks varied, some easy, some difficult, previously some helped transport materials to build the watchtower as laborers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the task was tiring, it seemed not so difficult, at least they could live without risking their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet precisely because of this, these controlled survivors were highly motivated, striving hard to live each day busily as if fulfilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many things would unknowingly be cast aside, including their previous lives, prior cognitions, and original beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For humans, such trivial creatures, living becomes paramount oftentimes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would do unimaginable things to survive, even unleash unimaginable potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door of the watchtower opened slowly, silently, yet with a sense of heaviness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man wearing a tie and suit walked out from the black watchtower, his face still holding a flattering smile, lingering for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered, with a peculiar glow flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the meeting room of the management zone, many were waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Steward Yuan, what did those... Wizard Lords say?\" A bald, out-of-shape man stepped forward and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was Principal Zhang of Donglin University, considered someone with considerable influence in the management zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The so-called Steward Yuan was Yuan Shaohua, the late Mayor Yuan’s son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the nominal leader of this management zone, everything big and small had to pass through him, including the distribution of food, his power couldn’t be overstated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not eat enough, even starve to death. But he never had to worry about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this was also thanks to the experience inherited from his father, knowing how to appease those above, knowing how to be a competent manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What to say? Just as usual, and we have to find a blue-haired girl... Well, we shouldn’t have anyone like that here, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shaohua said somewhat helplessly, with an inquisitive expression:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Blue hair? Must be dyed, Principal Zhang, help search a bit, there should be such a person among the students, if found, the benefits are plenty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Xue Tao showed hesitation and asked: \"For what specific reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shaohua patted his shoulder meaningfully and said softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just find the person and leave the rest to me. Trust me, this is also for everyone, angering those Wizard Lords wouldn’t bode well for any of us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he didn’t know what really happened, only knew that it was urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Shaohua paused and looked at the others, emphasizing: \"Within half an hour, find the person with blue dyed hair, especially if it’s a woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is crucial. Nobody should fail, once something goes wrong, we’ll all be in trouble... Don’t blame me for not saying it in advance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-05T22:30:04.933Z",1,"novelbin.me","2359864a626a5e256f70771361b0fb3643026468c5d4ef0c56beaef89173f619","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-553","global-game-i-have-portable-store-chapter-551",584,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-game-i-have-portable-store-cover.jpg"]
