Global Game: I Have Portable Store

The purplish-red flesh writhes in the gaps of the street, emitting a slight rustling sound, stirring feelings of unease within.

The writhing flesh continuously spreads outward, growing like little meat worms, they are part of the Tentacle Monster, an extension of itself.

In just a few days, the Tentacle Monster transformed the surrounding area into its unique domain, swallowing anything that intrudes whether by accident or not, be it Extraordinary Creatures, roaming Zombies, or humans investigating the situation.

A vast dead silence, only the purplish-red writhing flesh exists, though one could also say it is filled with vitality, brimming with immense Life Force.

”Growing towards the direction of the Undead Tide. Is it because it senses more Zombies there?”

Su Changxing constantly monitors the situation over there, the flesh coverage speed is neither slow nor fast; in a few days, it’ll likely clash directly with the Undead Tide.

”Does this thing never stop growing?”

He voiced this thought with uncertainty; this creature is unlike any he’s encountered before, unique, or perhaps created by some entity like the Hua san-type puppets, unparalleled.

What astonished him the most was not knowing where the Tentacle Monster absorbs Energy from, seemingly endless, growing on a massive Energy Block.

Just like those people who appeared out of thin air...

Thinking of this, Su Changxing suddenly fell silent, as if he had discovered a blind spot in the situation. If humans can appear out of nowhere, then could the Energy required by the Tentacle Monster also appear out of nowhere?

Or rather, it never needs to actively feed, as there is a continual stream of Energy being delivered into its body!

Precisely because it doesn’t need to hunt actively anymore, the Tentacle Monster simply remains in one place for better Growth of its body.

Suppose the world always seeks to maintain a dynamic balance, when non-existent things break through the boundaries of virtual and real, then what becomes of the existent things...

Previously.

Su Changxing had vaguely anticipated such an outcome, though not as clearly or certainly, the Tentacle Monster’s case aptly corroborated his thinking.

”This world might be in some state of overlapping virtual and real aspects, grotesquely twisted.”

He closed his eyes, entering a form of meditation, while controlling the movement of the Undead Tide.

At this moment.

Sound came from the wall outside the window, a Zombie with a child-sized stature, carrying a backpack, jumped inside from outside the window.

It’s Delivery No. 1.

This is a Zombie that allocated all its talent to Speed, it took little time to hurry over from the desert, mainly to deliver the Extraordinary Crystal captured for Su Changxing.

Besides Delivery No. 1, there are Delivery No. 2, Delivery No. 3, the Undead Tide operates like the Insect Race, gradually developing roles, not all are fighters.

This was Su Changxing deliberately imitating the operational mode of the Insect Race, a mode evolved over countless ages, surely advantageous, allowing the Titan Insect Race to remain active till today.

This time, a total of three Tier Seven Extraordinary Crystals were delivered, two white and one red, the red is from the Extraordinary Crystal of that scorpion, exuding a scorching aura, the other two are from the white withered tree, apart from the previous white withered tree, the Undead Tide found another one later.

Compared to the Extraordinary Crystal of the scorpion, the Energy contained within the Extraordinary Crystal of the white withered tree is more immense, sufficient for enhancing a small frenzy.

Su Changxing’s body underwent monumental transformations under the catalysis of abundant Extraordinary Crystals, his hair fluffy and jet-black, his skin no longer pale but a healthy white. From his appearance, he doesn’t look like a Zombie, rather a human. Changed into different clothes, he could blend into a settlement without being recognized.

More importantly, his face resembles his original self at least seventy percent, changed unknowingly, perhaps indicating the influence of the soul over the body.

The body often reflects the appearance of the soul, so most Order Creatures look just like their soul.

...

Chen Tiannan and others continue clearing the Phantoms, not every settlement experiences turmoil, likely depending on the leader’s leadership abilities and the inherent Order within the settlement.

Moreover, as time passes, the degree of panic decreases as everyone knows Chen Tiannan and others aren’t randomly slaughtering but systematically and targeted clearing of ”contaminated individuals.”

In Ximen Long’s team, Liu Lilan, a middle-aged woman with a robust build and dark skin, said sternly: ”Captain Chen, have you noticed, these Phantoms seem overall stronger than before.”

”Unsure of the reason why...”

She’s a seasoned member following Ximen Long from early on, despite being a woman, she exudes a fierce aura, meticulous in her actions, feared by other team members of Ximen Long.

Chen Tiannan nodded: ”Indeed, there’s such a situation, we’ll continue observing. At least for now, it’s manageable.”

If worse comes to worst, he’d have Ximen Long’s crew retreat from District Two, completely abandon it, considering the long-term strategy.

Just as District Thirteen can be abandoned, District Two can certainly be abandoned too.

In times like this, any action beneficial to the survival of the race can be taken, disregarding morals and Order, only the continuation of civilization allows one to discuss morality and Order.
