Global Game: I Have Portable Store-Chapter 373 - 369: Little Cutie

Zhu Wenwu also quickly followed and climbed out of the hole.

Su Changxing looked down from the edge of the hole into the empty void, seeing only the dark eggs, and without hesitation, fired below.

In the flash of the gunfire, the bullet seemed to hit something and suddenly stopped. A black silhouette appeared below the hole, knocked down by the bullet.

The creature had the ability to conceal itself, and its body was terrifyingly strong.

"Go!"

Su Changxing shouted, waving his hand, as dozens of Evil Spirits appeared to block the hole.

He didn’t expect these Evil Spirits to hold back the creature, just to buy some time.

Zhu Wenwu ran towards the row of glass counters on the side.

In front of him, a humanoid figure, in shades of gray and brown like a cookie monster, noticed them and leapt forward step by step, its body swaying.

"Waka Waka~"

It made a strange sound, as if chewing on cookies.

Without a word, Su Changxing raised his hand and fired a shot at it, a sense of crisis rushed over him, making him instinctively aim off-center.

The bullet curved, hitting the cookie man’s shoulder, and blasted a large hole in the wall.

Immediately after, Su Changxing’s shoulder burst with blood, and he fell to his knees.

... Almost died.

If that bullet had hit the cookie man’s head, he would have been doomed.

Zhu Wenwu, still not clear on the situation, raised the Steel Sword intending to charge.

"Come back! Don’t touch it."

Su Changxing immediately stopped him, realizing the creature’s ability might be retaliation, similar to the "Giant Infant."

[Mutated Cookie Man: While you eat the cookie, the cookie also eats you. Cute, cute, I’m the cutest.]

"Your shoulder?"

Only then did Zhu Wenwu notice Su Changxing’s abnormality, his chest bore a big hole, as if hit by a bullet.

"Doesn’t matter, stay away from that thing, we’ll go around the side."

Ignoring the pain, Su Changxing moved around the cookie man from the side, only to find several similar shadows converging ahead, completely blocking the path.

"Damn it~"

Su Changxing realized that he had to deal with these seemingly foolish, slow-paced "little cuties" or they would eventually cause problems.

He waved his hand, and an Evil Spirit appeared in front of him, pouncing towards the nearest cookie man and biting at its head.

Simultaneously, he severed his connection with the Evil Spirit.

"Crack crack~"

The sound of cookies breaking.

The cookie man suddenly fragmented into small pieces scattered on the ground, and the Evil Spirit’s body also vanished into thin air, perishing together with it.

Cold sweat beaded on Su Changxing’s forehead. These creatures were too insidious. If not for his quick reaction, he really would have fallen into a trap.

The cookie men seemed to lack any combat power, but could take their attackers down with them.

Seeing this, Zhu Wenwu shivered, finally understanding what was happening.

Su Changxing breathed a sigh of relief and summoned another four or five Evil Spirits, dealing with the remaining cookie men in the same manner.

The two didn’t pause, continuing to run forward as their footsteps echoed in the empty hall.

The walls were ghastly white, but the floor was pitch black.

They came to the glass counters, atop which stood several glass bottles. Some were empty, while others contained red or blue pills.

That must be it!

He was certain these were the pills produced by Shield Company, capable of enhancing or suppressing radiation.

"Wait a moment."

Su Changxing quickly put five or six bottles containing pills into his backpack, knowing it couldn’t hurt to take them, regardless of their usefulness.

A tremor sounded from behind.

A creature climbed up from below, swiftly dispatching all the Evil Spirits blocking the hole, gazing coldly at Su Changxing and asserting:

"We were so close to success, I can’t allow anyone to destroy this."

"No one is allowed to destroy it!"

Its outer clothing was tattered, and a Shield Company logo, blue and glowing, was pinned to its inner garment.

At this moment, Su Changxing deeply realized the terror of this company. It truly controlled the world, leaving its mark everywhere even if the world was destroyed.

So familiar.

Su Changxing suddenly felt the creature looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

He wasn’t from this world, so he could only have seen it in someone else’s memory.

Countless scattered memories flashed across his mind.

A man in a white coat stood by the window, extinguishing a half-smoked cigarette as he looked his way:

"You’ve finally arrived, quickly, take Huihui inside."

...

The little boy’s father?

Why was he here?

Everything seemed mysterious. He hadn’t been here at the beginning, but came later, yet how had an ordinary person reached this place and survived?

Su Changxing spoke confidently:

"You left your son at his uncle’s police station, then came here with the police."

The man was visibly stunned, surprised by the unexpected situation. The other recognized him, yet he had no impression of these two.

His thoughts were chaotic, stunned, unable to process much before asking directly:

"Who are you, and why do you know my son?"

Su Changxing and his companion both showed surprise, realizing the figure seemed human or retained human memories while being a monster.

Su Changxing smiled slightly and said:

"Us? We’re human. As for what you are, I don’t know. Surely you must know your son has become a monster?"

The man closed his eyes in recollection, saying:

"Mm, it’s not a monster, but a genetic defect failure, whereas I... am perfect."

Black threads writhed continuously in his eyes, maintaining a peculiar rhythm that made others uncomfortable, nauseous without any tangible cause.

"Perfect?"

Su Changxing displayed a sneer of contempt, slightly angry as he said:

"What is perfect? You’re high-ranking at Shield Company, aren’t you? Tell me what perfection is? Your actions have utterly destroyed this world."

The man’s expression remained calm, without fluctuation, as he said:

"You don’t understand. This is perfection. I initially thought we made a terrible mistake, but later realized we were right, though it meant sacrificing some people."

"A small change in a country causes the death of countless people, let alone a major transformation of this world."

"We’re about to succeed, creating a new world, ushering in a new era... otherwise, we’ll always be anonymous ants, like roadside mold on chopping blocks, destruction but a moment away."

"Friend, I don’t want to kill anymore, so whatever your purpose, please leave here."

The man’s gaze gradually sharpened, becoming ruthless, like a man-eating beast, as the surrounding space began to distort around him, shimmering like water ripples.
