Chapter 463: Chapter 49: Large Hand Grenade

All four bullets were dodged.

Jerome’s dissipation lasted exceptionally long this time.

Activating ”Timing Prediction,” Su Changxing saw the moment Jerome manifested, raised the scythe, and struck down.

Tenfold Concentrating!

The azure blade swept across, leaving a trace over ten meters long on the ground, slicing through a tall tree along with it.

Jerome finally failed to dodge in time; every ability has its limits, and exceeding those limits can crush it.

”You’re overly strong, Jerome.”

Su Changxing wiped the warm blood from his face, took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in his mouth, aimed the gun at the cigarette butt, and fired to light it.

He sat down next to the corpse, feeling waves of emptiness in his body, and also a sense of loneliness.

Killing is never something to be happy about, and if he feels happy about it, then he is about to fall into the darkness.

Blood flowed heavily from his arm.

He didn’t completely block that blade, and even with eighty percent immunity to physical damage, he was still seriously injured.

”Does this mean the Moonlight Blade isn’t purely physical damage...”

He realized that the ability of ”Steel Body” was even more limited than imagined but was still somewhat useful.

However, Jerome’s ability seemed more useful.

[Shadow Dissipation (Upper Rank B): Projects the body into a subspace for a short time to avoid attacks, but cannot move, duration depends on the speed of the power user.

Note: The duration lasts longer at night.]

This should be considered a very buggy ability, especially when the opponent doesn’t know its characteristics.

Su Changxing pondered a bit and decided to replace Steel Body with this ability; ”Shadow Dissipation” and ”White Feather Flashing” are completely complementary.

”White Feather Flashing” has a pre-delay and cannot evade instantly, but ”Shadow Dissipation” can evade instantly. After ”Shadow Dissipation” ends, ”White Feather Flashing” can be used to move.

This combination is a perfect life-saving ability, with an effect far greater than 1+1.

”Staying alive is good, if you can stay alive, you don’t have to die.”

He rested for a while, stood up, and noticed that those giant skeletons seemed to have disappeared and hadn’t appeared for a long time.

Have they given up?

Just then, he heard an explosion nearby, followed by a dazzling white light.

”It’s somewhat similar to the previous explosion, only much smaller in scale...”

Su Changxing raised his eyebrows and immediately headed toward the site of the explosion.

A mangled corpse lay at the center of the explosion, seemingly the one who controlled the skeletons, still holding a horn-like object in his hand.

”Who killed him?”

Su Changxing sensed footsteps, turned around, and saw a girl wearing a duckbill cap, hands in her pockets, tilting her head and staring at him.

Her luminous blue eyes appeared particularly bright in the dim light.

A familiar scene.

With light steps, she hugged him,

”I... thought you were dead.”

Jin looked up at him, with tears glistening in her eyes, and her voice full of grievance.

Her body temperature was slightly lower than usual, giving a sense of gentleness.

Su Changxing’s eyelids quivered for a moment, seeing Jin show such an expression for the first time.

Most of the time, she wore a smile on her face, sometimes indifferent or exaggerated, occasionally curious or serious.

But surely not sadness, not fear.

She seemed inherently devoid of such negative emotions and, in a sense, was more positive than ordinary people.

Su Changxing pursed his lips into a smile, reached out to wipe the bloodstains off her face, and said: ”How could I, I promised not to abandon you... let’s go!”

”Where to?”

”Revenge!”

Su Changxing walked with Shen Jinxuan towards the city.

The two successive massive explosions seemed to have purified the murky filth, and everything returned to stillness once more.

”He killed those people.”

Chen Ling showed a hint of surprise, even though he had become an Extraordinary, the gap with Su Changxing was vast.

”Regroup the team, let’s set off immediately, it should be safe now.”

Wherever the tiger passes, it leaves an aura that other small animals dare not approach, and such a big commotion further deters other gladiators from coming near.

Amidst the chaos, the team moved forward again, and even at night, they could clearly feel the light becoming brighter as the dark fog in the sky thinned.

They seemed to be moving from darkness to light, shaking off the oppression of their environment.

Deng Yiming ran from the middle of the team to Chen Ling, asking: ”Captain Chen, won’t Leader Su leave with us?”

Chen Ling stood at the front of the team, turned his head to the officer, and said:

”I shouldn’t tell you... he indeed has things to do, but clearly things we can’t interfere with.”

He was also contemplating the extent of Su Changxing’s strength, as it seemed that at the end of the doomsday, the Energy Station was blown up by Su Changxing and others... that woman named Shen Jinxuan shouldn’t be simple either, even though she wasn’t an Extraordinary.

Deng Yiming paused, nodded, and said: ”I request to lead some people back to help Leader Su, or at least to rescue some others.”

Without even thinking, Chen Ling decisively said: ”No, our withdrawal is an order.”

······

The two strolled along the desolate highway, as if taking a walk. Jin fiddled with something in her hand, following a step behind Su Changxing.

”What was that explosion about? It was a bit like the one caused by the self-destructing robot before.” Su Changxing curiously asked.

”Haha~”

Jin spread her hand, as if holding something, in an exaggerated manner: ”Boom, and it explodes, very powerful.”

The speed of her power growing was astonishing... which equally amazed Su Changxing.

His own strength grew so rapidly solely because of the foundational knowledge provided by the skull before, and more importantly, the assistance of the discount shop.

The items offered by the discount shop were, generally speaking, quite practical, whereas the things in the doomsday game depended more on luck, even the rewards given by missions.

For example, a talent given earlier along with the Healing Totem was quite useless.

[Good Voice: Voice texture becomes more three-dimensional and versatile, capable of imitating various tones... you’re an excellent announcer.]

Up to now, he hadn’t found much use for this talent, but still, it’s better than nothing.

Su Changxing reached toward the spot in Jin’s palm, surprisingly touching something with a metallic feel, cool and smooth, even with a paint-like coating.

”What shape is this roughly?”

Su Changxing raised an eyebrow and asked.

Without hesitation, Jin said: ”A hand grenade... a big hand grenade.”

Su Changxing fell into brief contemplation: ”...”
