Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Entering

”Earlier, that person seemed to be trying to approach the target.”

Cai Jing looked through a monocular and saw a familiar figure in front of the police station, carrying a black longbow and holding a thick-backed steel saber.

Longbow?

She showed a thoughtful expression and said, ”Didn’t Zeng Lin get shot through the head with an arrow?”

”Weren’t you the one who examined the body?”

”Yes, that’s right.”

Lin Xiuyu thought for a moment and said, ”We’ve already lost someone in this police station before. It’s said to be the most troublesome monster among several police stations. Its spiritual attack catches people off guard, and numbers are completely useless.”

Cai Jing chimed in, ”But the stronger the monster, the better the rewards. I’m increasingly suspicious that this is a game world that looks like the True World, and the monsters in these police stations are like bosses.”

Lin Xiuyu smiled and said, ”Maybe it’s just a modified version of the True World. Games are very rigid, but here... So what do we do now?”

”We’ll go down after they leave.”

······

At first, Huang Biao didn’t pay much attention, but then he gradually noticed the strong and dangerous aura emanating from Su Changxing.

This was an intuition he had always had.

It had helped him avoid a lot of danger and trouble when he was mixed up in the underworld before.

Su Changxing looked at Huang Biao and asked, ”Have you been enhanced?”

Huang Biao’s physique seemed quite strong. After resting for a while, he seemed perfectly fine. He probably had a fairly strong recovery ability, or high physique and resilience.

Huang Biao showed a slightly simple-minded smile and said, ”I enhanced my physique once, but my body has always been good, so I didn’t feel much improvement. I let the younger brothers enhance themselves instead.”

Huang Biao’s build looked quite robust, while Su Changxing seemed weaker by comparison, though only slightly.

Su Changxing confirmed that his physique was stronger than Huang Biao’s, assuming Huang Biao didn’t have any unusual superpowers...

Su Changxing nodded and asked, ”How many people do you have now?”

Huang Biao was a bit surprised. This person seemed to know something about him, yet they were meeting for the first time.

He didn’t think too much of it; perhaps Su Changxing just resembled someone he knew before. He said in a deep voice, ”About thirty people, but there are some women and children among them, and four more died recently, which is troublesome.”

Su Changxing sighed and said, ”You’re impressive, managing to gather so many people in such a short time.”

”It’s nothing, just huddling together for warmth.”

Huang Biao pondered for a moment, then tempted Su Changxing, ”Brother, you seem quite capable. Do you have any interest in joining us? We could arrange first-class treatment for you.”

”Let’s see. First, let’s figure out how to deal with this monster, okay?” Su Changxing looked at the empty police station and said, ”You should understand the importance of firearms better than I do.”

Huang Biao’s simple smile faded, and he nodded, ”That’s right. Without firearms, a group won’t be able to stand on its own in the future and will have to rely on other forces.”

”But actually, if no one has guns, it wouldn’t be a big problem.

Su Changxing said lightly, ”But the police station isn’t the only place. You might need guns more than I do.”

He was trying to persuade Huang Biao to join him in dealing with the monster. The risk was still quite high if he went alone.

Su Changxing had some confidence that the monster merely had the ability to launch a spiritual attack, and he seemed to have a strong resistance to it.

When he heard the scream coming from the police station earlier, he realized he had this resistance to spiritual attacks.

He wasn’t sure of the source of this ability—it could be a spirit far superior to ordinary people, or something else.

More importantly, the monster seemed unable to leave the police station; as long as they could withstand its spiritual attack, they could at least escape even if they couldn’t defeat it.

So the danger wasn’t as high as imagined, as long as they could withstand the spiritual attack, at least not collapse immediately.

Huang Biao stroked his chin with a contemplative expression, ”I’m not afraid. We just don’t have much chance of defeating it. People lie down when it roars.”

”Unless we can rush inside to take the guns and then shoot it dead, but the monster guards the corridor, and we can’t get in.”

Su Changxing took out a signal stick from his pocket and said, ”I have a way, but I need your cooperation. It’s not too dangerous.”

Huang Biao looked into Su Changxing’s eyes, thought for a long time, and said, ”Alright, brother. In that case, I’ll trust you this time.”

Soon, a few young men came over to help the injured on the ground.

Among them, a skinny, dark-skinned boy named Feng Zheng couldn’t believe it and asked, ”Boss Huang, are Brother Chen and the others dead?”

Huang Biao nodded with a dim look in his eyes, ”Yes, very unfortunate. The monster in the police station is extraordinarily powerful. But I’m planning to go back in later with this brother here.”

Feng Zheng raised the wooden stick in his hand and shouted, ”Boss Huang Biao, I want to go in and fight too!”

Huang Biao slapped the boy to the ground with an indifferent expression, ”You’re too weak; you can barely kill a Zombie. Going in would just be sending you to your death.

Feng Zheng glared angrily at Su Changxing from the ground, then turned and left.

Su Changxing said speechlessly, ”So what does this have to do with me? By the way, how old is he? He seems like he’s still in high school.”

Huang Biao nodded, ”About that age.”

”They seem to be preparing to go in again, led by Self-heating Rice.”

Cai Jing observed the situation and said.

”Going in again? Are they out of their minds? Ordinary People can’t handle that monster,” Lin Xiuyu complained, ”If I knew he was going to his death, I would have taken his self-heating rice earlier.”

Cai Jing interjected coldly, ”Can we stop thinking about self-heating rice?”

Lin Xiuyu glanced at her, ”Weren’t you the one who brought it up?”

”It was just a code name.”

The inside of the police station was unexpectedly cool, with a faint smell of blood in the air.

Walking in front, Su Changxing said, ”So, that monster only stays on the first floor and can control Zombies.”

”That’s right, and it can talk.”

Huang Biao cautiously followed behind, carefully scanning his surroundings, clearly having a certain psychological shadow from this place.

Su Changxing frowned, ”Did it communicate with you?”

Huang Biao shook his head, ”No, it just muttered to itself. Before I could hear clearly, it had already noticed us, and then you know the rest.”

There were no Zombies or bodies in the corridor, just a thick layer of dust with numerous footprints pressed into it, indicating that quite a few people had been here recently.

Su Changxing suddenly stopped, and at this spot, he felt a slight tingle on his scalp.

Huang Biao also stopped and asked, ”What’s wrong?”

”Any further and it might notice us.”

Su Changxing stopped to observe the surroundings. The stairs were more than ten meters ahead. The police station’s gun locker was on the first basement level, and the prison was on the second. The upstairs was just offices.

Huang Biao was surprised, realizing that Su Changxing probably had some special abilities. Back in the real world, he had already known about a group of people with special abilities that seemed to have emerged over the past decade.

Su Changxing took out the signal stick and said, ”I’ll throw the signal stick at the staircase later. If the monster comes up, we’ll retreat immediately. If it’s just Zombies, we’ll clear them. This should be the most cautious approach.”

Huang Biao glanced at the steel saber in Su Changxing’s hand, showing a strange expression, and suddenly said:

”You’re the Lucky Child, aren’t you? When you sent the message earlier, I should have realized you were nearby.”
