Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 370 - 366: Aberrant Puppet

"Are you okay?"

"No major problems."

"There are a few more on the wall ahead, be careful."

"Okay."

Zhu Wenwu, covered in black blood, immediately got up from the ground and popped a healing pill into his mouth.

This was an extraordinary item provided by the Security Bureau, which slowly healed injuries when ingested. They had ample supplies of resources like this.

A few more continuous explosions sounded as Su Changxing shot a few arrows, taking down the explosive creatures on the wall.

The two approached the gate, finding it somewhat empty inside, with only a few small creatures clinging to the walls.

They didn’t stop, continuing onward relentlessly, as there was a narrow path to the east of the main entrance leading to District Ten, near District Twelve.

This was theoretically the quickest route.

"Thump, thump~"

A humanoid creature of flesh and blood, three to four meters tall, rushed towards them with open arms, exuding a heavy sense of oppression, leaving distinct oval footprints behind.

It had at least Tier Eight strength.

Su Changxing confronted it, firing a shot at its forehead with his revolver, making the flesh explode, while the silver bullet lodged into its bone.

Its body strength was beyond imagination.

Su Changxing sidestepped to dodge the monster’s attack, spun the chamber, and fired another shot at the previous spot.

[Concentrating: 300%]

The monster’s entire brain was blown apart by the bullet, but its body continued to move, launching another strike at him.

Zhu Wenwu took the opportunity to stab the creature’s abdomen from the side with a sword, sensing it was the creature’s weak spot.

Embarrassingly, the blade did not completely penetrate the creature’s flesh, getting stuck on the surface.

Su Changxing immediately understood it was the monster’s weak spot and fired the third shot at its belly.

Subsequently, the creature fell to the ground, its body rapidly decomposing into blood that turned from black to transparent until it disappeared, merging into the floor’s cracks.

"I actually couldn’t break through its defense."

Zhu Wenwu looked dazed, comprehending the significant disparity and understanding why Su Changxing didn’t want them to come in.

More importantly, the intangible pressure was constantly draining his strength.

He felt exhausted, realizing that, at his peak state, he could have pierced that thrust, but he didn’t just now.

Su Changxing also recognized the problem, sternly saying, "Just follow me from now on, don’t engage easily."

Zhu Wenwu nodded, "Okay, understood."

The previous commotion did not disturb other creatures. The surroundings were silent, yet this was the monsters’ lair.

"Perhaps they have territorial divisions, like animals, with different creatures staying in different areas," Zhu Wenwu analyzed.

Su Changxing nodded, feeling it made sense:

"Yes, that’s good for us. But if we go directly to the next area, we’ll still face a large number of creatures."

Based on this density pattern, the number of creatures in the Energy Station was likely suffocating, and their strength was unusually high.

Their combat prowess seemed inadequate.

Continuing forward, Su Changxing used his bow and arrow to take down seven or eight creatures weaker than the last one, reaching the predetermined narrow path.

There were four or five checkpoints on this path, equipped with pre-apocalyptic automatic detection devices, but they were now defunct, naturally posing no obstacle to them.

[Mutated Decaying Flesh: Lacks self-awareness, possesses strong recovery abilities, highly resilient life force... ]

[Mutated Decaying White Foot: Possesses extreme speed, a strong urge to kill... ]

[Mutated Decaying Black Armor: Possesses a hard shell, transforming into some mature creature, in its embryonic stage... ]

According to "True Knowledge," these creatures appeared to be in an incubating embryonic stage, just as Zhu Wenwu suggested, a breeding ground for monsters.

In the future, even if the Energy Station’s radiation doesn’t completely destroy the world, these creatures will continuously march into the outside world.

"The Screamers are probably formed from these things," Su Changxing asserted.

Zhu Wenwu showed a look of surprise, saying:

"Does that mean these things are actually like eggs?"

Su Changxing confirmed again:

"Yes, it’s unimaginable what kind of monsters these embryonic things would nurture, stronger than the Screamers."

"It feels like maggots growing on a corpse, these ’maggots’ absorbing the corpse’s nutrients."

This was the most fitting analogy he could think of, very apt, as everything is interconnected, and the Energy Station’s existence is precisely releasing these "nutrients."

He had already used up one wave of bullets earlier, and now had few left, relying on archery to slowly advance.

Drawing arrows, pulling the bow, shooting.

Drawing arrows, pulling the bow, shooting.

Drawing arrows, pulling the bow, shooting.

...

Over two hundred arrows were shot, and they had only covered half the distance, leaving a dense array of black corpses behind.

This method also had benefits, being relatively safer, avoiding simultaneous attraction of a large number of monsters.

He gained nearly a hundred thousand points from the monsters’ corpses, bringing his total to around two hundred and fifty thousand.

Mysteriousness had quickly risen from over two thousand to nearly four thousand, and all attributes improved accordingly.

But, this was a dangerous signal, the Energy Station was significantly impacting him.

Su Changxing turned to look at Zhu Wenwu, who had been silent all along, asking worriedly:

"Do you feel anything abnormal?"

Theoretically, Zhu Wenwu was more affected, and it was remarkable he managed to keep up.

Zhu Wenwu’s eyes were deep and dark, he smiled and said:

"No worries, don’t bother about me, I’m still okay. Ahead should be District Ten, I seem to sense that presence."

As they moved forward, passing a checkpoint, a massive figure sat in front, blocking the way, matching the height of the checkpoint’s top.

Is it a person?

It’s not.

Baring its body, it stared intently at Su Changxing and Zhu Wenwu, its eyebrows conveying warmth and peace, reminiscent of a Buddha statue in a temple, clashing with the environment.

Su Changxing suddenly tensed his body, even with his strong heart, he almost didn’t hold it in... a giant naked monk-like figure sitting in such a place was a massive mental shock.

[Mutated Mannequin: Shaped by flesh mutation and integrated with spirit, its form relates to its flesh, abilities unknown... Extremely dangerous... ]

The "Monk" extended a palm towards them, eyes glowing gold, shouting: "Stop! Purify!"

The clear and robust voice, like rushing waves.

Zhu Wenwu immediately collapsed to the ground.
