Chapter 269: Chapter 268: The Corpse-Transformed Human

”Shen Xuan?”

Su Changxing raised an eyebrow. Even though it was just a short message, he could still sense that smiling tone, those crystal-clear lips, and eyes as dazzling as rubies, as if everything was under control.

Su Changxing thought for a moment and replied: So, who are you?

Nun Lady: Playing dumb with me? Haven’t seen you for a few days and you’ve grown some backbone?

Backbone?

Could you even reach through the phone screen to get at me?

Su Changxing showed a slight sneer and replied: So, where are you now, at Chenxi’s base?

He had already guessed that Shen Xuan was likely someone from Chenxi, or she might belong to the Security Bureau side, but the odds favored Chenxi.

Nun Lady: You’re still smart... but I’ve already left. You should still be at the gathering site, right?

Su Changxing replied: On my way back.

Nun Lady: You’d better be careful. It seems you’re now the primary target of the Hunter, although I don’t exactly know why.

Primary target?

Su Changxing wasn’t surprised, after all, he had led people to eliminate one of the Hunter’s outposts, so it made sense for them to specifically retaliate against him.

However, he was more curious about how Shen Xuan knew this information. Could it be that Chenxi was already able to gather intelligence from within the Hunter?

Su Changxing replied: Hmm, thanks for the reminder.

Nun Lady: But I still need to trouble you a bit...

The message abruptly ended here, as if the other person had suddenly fallen asleep. Su Changxing could roughly guess what was going on.

Since it was nighttime on their way back, the zombies were much more active, slowing their progress considerably. However, overall, there were no major issues, with Tao Yi and several Evil Spirits paving the way ahead, preventing a large-scale Undead Tide.

The small-scale Undead Tides they could handle completely.

Halfway through, Huang Biao came up from the side, whispering:

”Just now, someone at the camp was found showing symptoms of transformation, discovered accidentally by Huang Tao. This person seemed to have shown signs of transformation since last night but hid it due to some reason.”

”So it started yesterday? It happened post-Blood Moon.”

Su Changxing pondered and murmured, ”The Blood Moon not only accelerated the emergence of the Extraordinary but also advanced the process of transformation.”

Transformation and the Extraordinary are like a fork in the road between heaven and hell, a choice everyone must face.

So is there a third possibility?

They needed to find a third possibility now, a way to avoid transformation without becoming an Extraordinary.

The survivors of this world had once explored such a possibility, but they failed, leaving only the Extraordinary, twisted humans.

Su Changxing straightened his back, walking at the front, subconsciously controlling these Evil Spirits in battle. Their fighting style was of one type, seemingly grand and open, but in reality, precise and delicate.

This was also his fighting style, applied to these Evil Spirits.

These Evil Spirits were more like extensions of Su Changxing’s consciousness, controlling them like controlling his own body, perhaps even more harmoniously.

Su Changxing thought and continued: ”Has this news spread in the camp? If it has, it will inevitably cause panic.”

Huang Biao wiped the blood from his face and said: ”Huang Tao acted with a sense of measure, and he blocked the news at first, known only to a few. But it’s likely to spread sooner or later.”

He didn’t deliberately avoid the others while saying this, and those around generally heard it. They were all likely candidates to become Extraordinary, so their reactions weren’t too significant.

Zhu Wenwu’s expression suddenly changed, somewhat losing composure, ”It’s happening too fast; we haven’t had time to prepare.”

Zhou An patted him on the shoulder and said, ”Are you worried about your sister? If I can become Extraordinary, she certainly can, with how smart she is.”

”Is this supposed to be comforting?”

Zhu Wenwu’s expression softened a bit, hopelessly stating, ”She’s actually very dull, always at the bottom of exams, while I was always in the top one or two in my grade.”

”...”

Zhou An was silent for a long time and then said, ”I was usually at the bottom too, does this count as an assessment criterion?”

Su Changxing turned back to look at these two Extraordinary goofing off and said displeasedly:

”Both of you, get on either side. The zombies are denser here, don’t mess up.”

Zombies also possess some Spiritual aspects, albeit different from humans, very weak, and pale; they can’t form into Evil Spirits after death.

Tao Yi can devour their faint souls after death, but this yields little, perhaps a hundred zombies wouldn’t match a single Hunter’s soul.

”Swish swish~”

The air was sliced by a sharp wind.

Several zombies fell to the ground simultaneously, with a moderate-sized blood hole on their foreheads, just enough to hollow out their skulls.

”How’s this move, Three Immortals Opening the Cave?”

Zhou An said with a proud tone, quite pleased with the result of the battle and giving his technique a quirky name.

Su Changxing nodded seriously, ”I must say, the name is quite impressive, but isn’t it just throwing three Flying Sabers at once?”

Geng Yong, with a knowledgeable look, said: ”If it were me, Three Dragons Entering the Cave would be more suitable.”

These two really are naming geniuses.

Zhou An thought seriously: ”Makes sense, but Three Immortals Opening the Cave sounds cooler.”

At this moment, under the bright moon, they had reached near the gathering site, where zombies were less dense, and the atmosphere felt much lighter.

”Boom~”

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the distant sky, shooting straight up, the sound was loud, and even from their position, Su Changxing and the others could feel a faint rumble.

It seemed like a dry thunder, but it was obviously abnormal.

Zhu Wenwu showed a surprised expression and said, ”Brother Su, these zombies seem to be moving in that direction, as if led by some force.”

”This should be some sort of ability.”

Su Changxing frowned, thinking that Teng Beng seemed to have such an ability, and so did the Lady of the House; their abilities were somewhat similar.

The zombies here were subject to weaker attraction, but those in the distance had formed an Undead Tide moving in one direction.

Su Changxing led the group, quickening their pace towards the gathering site, sensing something extraordinary might be happening over there.

Is Teng Beng about to take action?

Internal conflict among the Hunter would be an opportunity for them, allowing them to gather resources from this area’s Mysterious Shop.

It was the ninth day now. On the tenth day, the items in the Mysterious Shop would refresh, and with each refresh, the number and resources of the Mysterious Shop would increase.
