In the following period, Su Changxing still did not contact Shen Jinxuan, but had an idea about the situation.

It’s likely that Jin is the dominant personality during this time, and she cannot use the forum, making contact impossible.

"Is there something wrong with her body?"

Su Changxing slightly furrowed his brow, thinking that Shen Jinxuan’s body has always been in an extremely unstable state.

This is also the result of her being innately endowed with excessively powerful superpowers, or rather, her superpower is such that it splits into three different souls within the same body to control such formidable abilities.

The most powerful Shen Xuan was eroded by the influence of the giant hand during the Doomsday World, resulting in an extremely unstable state.

Shen Jinxuan is the most stable but can only be regarded as an ordinary superpower user, the weakest in power.

However, Jin is considered the most balanced. She possesses great power, is relatively stable, and can exist for long periods.

"Is she still alive? Are those wizards capturing her, or have they already caught her?"

Previously, Su Changxing received news from Luo Haotian that every night in Donglin City, there would be explosions, spectacular in scale, and they could sense it from far away.

These explosions were most likely caused by Jin.

But what puzzled him was that Jin could stay in Donglin City for so long without being caught. There is a Great Wizard in Donglin City, and it’s hard for anyone to escape his watchful eyes.

Even Su Changxing himself would find it difficult to sneak in, let alone stay for so long.

"Shen Xuan?"

He quickly realized that all of this must be the work of Shen Xuan, otherwise, Jin alone would have likely been captured by those wizards long ago.

He had sent inquiries to Shen Xuan before but got no response.

"Chenxi must be taking action in Donglin City? But they shouldn’t have much power left in the Donglin Region."

Su Changxing took a deep breath, feeling that many things were incomprehensible, as if shrouded in a layer of fog.

Afterward, he packed his things, went downstairs, and walked out of town, planning to visit He Kou County on the edge of the Donglin Region.

Team 17 collected a large number of mysterious items in Hedong County.

Lin Xiuyu would personally deliver these mysterious items to He Kou County, waiting for Su Changxing to pick them up.

Transporting over such long distances easily led to problems. After all, such a quantity of mysterious items easily attracted prying eyes or encountered unexpected situations.

A long scythe appeared in Su Changxing’s hand, and his body ghostfied into a semi-transparent state, running forward, disappearing into the black mist.

At this time, only Team Three and a small number of robot units were stationed in Anxi Town.

The Dwarf T3 followed Zhou An, advancing along the highway into the town behind them. As the core of the robot units, it couldn’t be easily lost.

······

Walking along the road, Su Changxing received a message from Zhen Qi Yi, saying Zhu Wenwu had left alone again, heading roughly in the direction of Donglin City.

This is rather intriguing.

Zhu Wenwu was hiding something from him. His behavior was suspicious, rapidly gaining strength and transforming himself into a half-blood species.

But at this time, Su Changxing had no time to dwell on these matters; everyone has their fortunes as an Extraordinary, and he didn’t need to know everything, as long as people didn’t betray him.

So, he did not ask Zhen Qi Yi to actively investigate; reporting what he saw was enough.

The reconnaissance team led by Zhu Wenwu was composed of elite members.

Among them was a monk from the Magpie Mountain Temple, blindfolded and with ears blocked, seemingly Monk Weihuo’s senior brother, "Deng Cang."

He was born blind and deaf, surviving in the Doomsday World, escaping death by not being in the same area as Weihuo.

Except for Su Changxing, almost no one else survived that place. In the end, he nearly fell in a zombie horde.

All of this was related to the Apocalypse known as "Old Chen" in Chenxi.

He also asked Lin Xiuyu to find out if that Apocalypse survived the Doomsday World, but the signal was interrupted, and not much useful information was found.

Chenxi itself was also actively concealing this information; every piece of information about an Apocalypse is classified.

Within the Security Bureau, it’s not so simple. After the apocalypse, power expanded, and each team leader held significant real power.

Also, because the signal was interrupted, each team operated independently.

Recently, news came from the east saying the coastal region had been completely sealed off by seawater, becoming isolated cities, with monsters lurking in the water, and no one dared to set sail.

The sole operable massive aircraft carrier was also completely destroyed by a colossal creature.

······

Away from Donglin City, the black mist in the sky thinned a bit, and the amount of anchor connecting the heavens and earth diminished.

"Donglin City is actually not suitable to stay in; this was a misjudgment back then."

Standing on an electric tower, Su Changxing observed the surrounding situation, then heard a few hoarse bird calls, "caw caw caw," from the sky.

Dozens of dog-sized, entirely black birds with red glowing pupils swiftly swooped towards him.

[Red-eyed Black Crow: Tier Nine, a type of highly aggressive bird, known for its gregarious nature.]

Because the black fog obscured them, Su Changxing didn’t notice their presence initially.

The birds seemed to have been lying in ambush here for a long time, waiting for prey to come along. But this time, what they encountered wasn’t prey—it was an iron wall.

Su Changxing had already noticed the pile of bones under the iron tower, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

The monsters in this black fog are probably around Tier Nine; at most Tier Eight, so they don’t pose any real threat to him.

He pulled out his gun and fired repeatedly, and all the red-eyed blood crows fell from the sky.

"Irrational beasts!"

Just as he was about to leave, more red-eyed black crows from the black fog dive toward him, covering the sky. For a moment, his ears were filled with chaotic bird calls.

Su Changxing wielded his scythe, slicing through the diving red-eyed black crows, creating a barrier of blade edges in front of him, casually cutting down over ten red-eyed black crows with a single swing.

After more than ten minutes, all these black crows were dead and fell to the ground, with black feathers scattering in the air, stained with dark red blood.

"Someone is controlling them?"

He used his perception to scan the surroundings but found no one else present.

The ground was littered with bird carcasses, emanating a foul odor, and the flesh on the ground seemed to begin decaying rapidly.

Su Changxing stared at the ground, noticing the flesh and feathers start wriggling, forming a conglomerate.

Soon after, a giant black silhouette, resembling a bird, formed from the coagulated blood and feathers, swooped toward him.

This is witchcraft!

A wizard is controlling all of this from the shadows.

Su Changxing drew his revolver, firing at the monstrous figure before him. Accompanied by flashes and blasts, the bullets shattered it.

Looking around again, everything disappeared, and the bird carcasses on the ground were gone. The previous scene seemed like an illusion.

Only the bouncing shell casings on the ground reminded him.

In his eyes, a ghostly light flashed, activating the "Eye of Insight" to see the flow of witchcraft energy.

The next moment, he jumped down from the iron tower, following the source of the energy to a foggy pond surrounded by mountains, where he saw a silhouette.

A large number of red-eyed black crows hovered in the sky, exceptionally quiet, like part of the sky’s backdrop, with a delicate breeze, carrying the moisture of the air.

This person was none other than Miss Bai, dressed in a white long dress and wearing a wide-brimmed hat.

"Your prowess is indeed formidable; no wonder you repelled her."

Miss Bai’s voice was icy as she spoke, but there was a hint of playfulness in her tone.

Su Changxing strode over, holding his gun, his eyes dangerous, and chuckled lightly:

"As a wizard, luring me like this probably isn’t a wise choice."

Flames erupted.

A silver light from the bullet pierced through her head, exploding it, and her entire body disintegrated into countless black crows, scattering, then reassembling.

Another clone...

This time, Su Changxing immediately realized it, similar to Karen’s vine clones, only composed of red-eyed black crows.

The similarities suggest there’s a common principle behind them.

Thinking this, Su Changxing wasn’t in much of a hurry now; the opponent was just a clone, killing her didn’t hold much significance.

He stared at Miss Bai’s shattered visage, calmly saying, "Do you have anything to say for bringing me here?"

Miss Bai reached out to smooth the shattered area on her face, showing displeasure, and frowned, "Don’t you know hitting a girl’s face is very impolite?"

Su Changxing shrugged, saying seriously, "I just want to kill you, but you wizards are notoriously hard to kill, which is somewhat troublesome."

Miss Bai crossed her legs, sitting upon a black crow, floating in the air, wide-eyed and intrigued:

"There’s no need for such hostility toward me; I’ve never killed anyone in this world and have even saved quite a few. You must know that."

Su Changxing glanced at the clear pond, saying indifferently, "Does that matter?"

Miss Bai sighed, moving before Su Changxing, and gazed into his eyes, saying, "Let me introduce myself. I am Elba, and we oppose war. But that world shrouded in black fog is too aggressive, so we had to act preemptively."

"We never planned to set foot on your land; we’re destined to win this war. When we defeat them, everything will end. However, during this process, some things went off track..."

Su Changxing didn’t understand what she meant, retorting impatiently, "Stop beating around the bush, just say it."

Elba’s face turned serious, word by word she said, "Our White Wizard King, Emperor Regla, fell in this war."

Su Changxing’s expression changed subtly upon hearing this, "Are you saying a Wizard King died in this war?"

Elba lowered her head, saying, "Yes, a Wizard King died in battle, but Emperor Regla was no ordinary Wizard King. He was the ruler of all wizards... he shouldn’t have died there."

As she said this, Elba’s expression became ferocious, her eyes glowing fiercely white, "It’s a cosmic joke; nobody believed it then!"

Su Changxing picked up on the underlying implication, saying, "So, he was calculated against by your own people?"

Elba took a deep breath and replied slowly, "Yes, it was a long-planned conspiracy. Although I don’t know the specifics, I’m certain a Wizard King betrayed him. Probably it was those Dark Wizards... the swelling desire only leads to destruction, why don’t they understand!"
