Su Changxing immediately followed Jin inside, somewhat unexpectedly, instructing Zhu Wenwu to search the surroundings just in case.

The gunfire continued wave after wave without stopping.

Arriving beside the previously sealed building, they happened to see a masked, bloodied person rushing towards them rapidly.

Seeing Jin not far away, his eyes flashed with malice, and his speed increased, leaving an afterimage in the wind as he swung a blade.

But before he could get close, successive explosions erupted in the street, kicking up dust.

Under Jin’s attack, the person fell to the ground, covered in blood.

"······"

Jin blinked, not expecting this person to be so weak; the fight ended before it even started.

Su Changxing was also unsurprised; Jin’s strength was a dimensional hit to ordinary Extraordinary individuals, not even on the same level.

The person wasn’t dead yet, just fainted.

Su Changxing fed him a life-saving pill, then handed him over to Zhang Shun, who had rushed over from behind.

"Take him back for interrogation first. He’s seriously injured, make sure he doesn’t die," Su Changxing emphasized.

Zhang Shun nodded and said, "No problem."

Later, he and another person carried the man away towards the base.

······

The opponent had four or five people, including an Extraordinary, with formidable strength and equipped with firearms.

Zhu Wenwu reacted immediately, wielding a Steel Sword close to engage in melee combat, while the others used firearms to shoot at the enemy.

The encounter was very accidental and the fight broke out instantly.

In just a flash, Zhu Wenwu took down the foremost person and dropped a hand grenade on the spot, pulling back.

At the moment of the explosion, he charged forward again in the smoke.

In this back-and-forth, the Doomsday Cult members were directly dumbfounded; one was shot multiple times and fell but wasn’t dead yet.

The others ran away without looking back, fleeing in all directions.

Just as Zhu Wenwu and the others prepared to pursue, a large amount of deep red smoke exploded into the air, obscuring their vision and carrying heat.

They had to retreat, firing through the smoke.

When the smoke cleared, the Doomsday Cult members were already gone, and the one lying on the ground had been scorched to death by the smoke.

"Damn it."

Zhu Wenwu frowned and immediately contacted others for an interception.

These players generally possessed various mysterious items, making them extremely troublesome.

When Su Changxing arrived, the battle was over, and several Security Bureau members were severely injured, with several corpses on the ground.

Zhu Wenwu came over and said helplessly, "These people were surprisingly strong; a few escaped, but none survived, they resisted too fiercely."

Su Changxing nodded and said, "It’s okay, we just caught a loner, Zhang Shun has already taken him back for questioning."

Zhu Wenwu exhaled, his blade covered in blood. He had personally killed a person, though not an Extraordinary, but still unusually strong.

Su Changxing’s expression shifted, realizing Zhu Wenwu had shown remarkable skill, even exceeding himself after becoming an Extraordinary in the doomsday.

He originally thought Zhu Wenwu would need a very long time to reach this point but didn’t expect it to be so quick.

This didn’t make sense.

Logically, given his temperament, it was impossible for him to grow so fast, reaching that point only under extreme survival pressure in the doomsday.

Su Changxing changed the subject, "Do you remember how, in the doomsday, you carried me out from the Energy Station?"

Zhu Wenwu’s face showed confusion, then realization, "What? Are you talking about the Doomsday World? I don’t have any memory of that."

He truly didn’t know... Su Changxing waved his hand with a smile, saying:

"Nothing, just had an illusion you seemed to remember... Since you became an Extraordinary, just steadily improve your strength, we should have plenty of time now."

Zhu Wenwu looked up at the dark clouds, "I don’t think there’s much time left, I feel these rolling black clouds are about to swallow us."

Su Changxing patted his shoulder, "We still have to take it step by step, even if the sky falls."

······

By noon.

The captured man had woken up and was being interrogated by professionals. His name was Chen Wei, and he confessed they were from the Doomsday Cult but firmly denied involvement in the murders.

What surprised Su Changxing even more was that he claimed everyone joining the Doomsday Cults was assigned an extra task system, allowing them to gain richer rewards from tasks.

Though this man wasn’t an Extraordinary, his physical strength was akin to one, becoming an Extraordinary was only a matter of time.

"Our Doomsday Cult operates on a single line, except for the High Priest, we don’t know each other. It must be other Doomsday Cultists doing the killings under task pressure," Chen Wei said, bound to the bed, eyes wide with helplessness.

Zhu Wenwu said with some disbelief, "So what are you planning? Hiding in that place?"

They had gathered there, in a hidden room, which even he nearly overlooked.

Chen Wei thought for a moment, "Weren’t you arresting us? We were just laying low here."

"Just like that?" Zhu Wenwu clearly didn’t believe it.

Chen Wei affirmed:

"Yes, we did some things, but none impactful, those major incidents had nothing to do with us."

Then he smiled, "How about I quit the Doomsday Cult and you let me go? The world’s a mess now, can’t lock me up for a few murders."

His words and actions were full of disdain for ordinary people and indifference to life.

This was a common issue among some players.

However, he wasn’t entirely wrong; life sometimes wasn’t equivalent.

Su Changxing looked at him, "Letting you go isn’t out of the question, but only after you clarify the Doomsday Cult matters."

Chen Wei struggled a bit, "I’ve cleared it up already, boss, just let me go."

Su Changxing smiled, "No rush, stay here first, any strange move and you won’t have another chance."

······

Returning to their previous lodging, Wang Liang, carrying a rifle, and Zhou An returned from outside, looking weather-beaten.

He was now an official team member, only in the reserve due to insufficient capability and strength.

Zhou An, carrying the Broken Sword, came in full of anger, "Those people from Chenxi are too arrogant!"

Su Changxing put down the teacup and turned his head, "What happened?"
