Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Seen

The long-lost sense of oppression felt like the third nerve in the brain was being constantly plucked.

Su Changxing fell completely into calmness; the more pressure he felt, the more composed he became. This was a personal trait that had helped him avert danger many times.

Then, following the Lady of the House’s gaze, Teng Beng also looked towards Su Changxing’s direction, realizing that a third party had arrived on this battlefield, seemingly Su Changxing and his companion.

Of course, the distance was very far, and these Hunters could do nothing to them. Besides the zombies, for the moment, Tao Yi and a group of Evil Spirits were blocking the hallway, so there was no problem.

The Lady of the House’s face showed a cold expression and she said, ”I thought you could always understand what we’re doing, haha·······”

Amidst the flickering light of the fire, Teng Beng’s face appeared aged as he smiled and said:

”Once I indeed believed it, but from the beginning, our direction was wrong. A wrong direction leads to wrong results, no matter how hard we try······ time has proven everything.”

The smile on the Lady of the House’s face grew colder, like icicles hanging on an iceberg. It reflected sunlight but still exuded a chill: ”All of you, die!”

At this point, everyone had lost hope and lost what they initially longed for. The trajectory of things is always unexpected yet reasonable.

A long time ago, she saw the apocalyptic vision. As the black light fell, flames consumed some, cities sank into massive pits, yellow sand filled the skies, rivers overflowed levees, and the world plunged into an eternal winter’s night.

It wasn’t just her who saw such a scene. Others did too, scattered around the world, and many people have seen such visions.

These people were generally called ”Doomsday Prophets.” They had seen the apocalypse, seen the end of the world.

This was absurd and hard to believe.

When she saw the apocalypse, Shield Company was already reaching out to the world, using technology ahead of its time to achieve monopolistic positions in many fields, becoming a hegemon-level company.

By rights, no sane person should believe such a thing.

Perhaps because the events of the celestial objects came first, her grandfather, the leader of Shield Company, Ming Zhiyong, did believe in such absurd things — the world’s end was near.

Even seeing it with her own eyes, she was skeptical, thinking that if there were an apocalypse, it was still far off. But the subsequent signs left people no choice but to doubt.

In the following days, the trajectory of the sun and stars visibly shifted, frequent earthquakes occurred, and meteor showers appeared several times within a short month.

The technology brought by Shield Company gave them more advanced algorithms, allowing a hundred supercomputers to form a matrix to predict next year’s weather, temperature changes, and the future development trends of a country.

Under Ming Zhiyong’s leadership, after months of calculations, they reached a shocking conclusion with this algorithm: the world may have a pre-determined end point, like a movie with a pre-set ending.

However, the very conclusion itself was a paradox — it’s something theoretical and unverifiable.

When proving it, everything becomes meaningless.

Before that, everything seemed wonderful; the world was vibrant and joyous. But after that, the world gradually darkened, transitioning from busy to chaotic.

This trickled from the upper echelons of humanity to the lower ones.

It seemed to be no one’s fault; it was simply because at that moment, they knew more. It was a painful thing to know disaster was imminent but be unable to stop it.

”Whose fault could it be?”

The Lady of the House shouted silently with some madness in her voice, ”We are only trying to save; it’s no one’s fault. The world is inherently like this.”

Weak and invisible tremors emanated from her body, spreading like ripples flowing on the surface of the water.

Dozens of Hunters who charged at the Lady of the House suddenly froze in place, horror appearing on their faces.

”Crack, crack, crack~”

Several sounds of bones breaking occurred.

The heads of these Hunters abruptly twisted in the direction facing the Lady, their skin tearing, and blood spurted from their arteries.

Several heads rolled to the ground.

One after another, their movements were consistent.

An eerily bizarre scene.

Those behind could not help but stop their footsteps.

A girl dressed in torn, white clothes, standing on one foot with her head lowered, hiding her face, stood beside the Lady of the House.

Another tremor followed.

More Hunters had their necks broken, falling to the ground. An unstoppable force; those further away dared not advance another step.

Seeing this scene, Su Changxing couldn’t help but sigh, ”Truly ruthless, turning against her own people without a hint of mercy.”

Zhong Jueqing quietly said, ”Actually, we might not be much different; we’re all people, the difference isn’t that great.”

The Security Bureau probably knew quite a lot about them killing each other. It was even circulating on forums, with related sensational posts.

Watching this familiar scene, Su Changxing guessed that the ”white-clothed person” might be part of the Lady’s ability. She could control that white-clothed woman.

Currently, it seemed that Teng Beng’s side was at an absolute disadvantage. They couldn’t handle the Lady of the House, a Tier Seven Extraordinary.

Su Changxing and his companions were also probably not their match.

Due to the suppression of tier levels, theoretically, Su Changxing couldn’t steal the corresponding ability from the Lady. The only possible way to win was to rush to the Lady’s side and shoot her in the head with ”Wolf Fang.”

However, it was more likely they’d be killed before even reaching her.

Moreover, the Lady probably had other abilities yet to show. Extraordinary abilities naturally branched out like a tree; the higher the tier, the more abilities one would have.

A man wearing a high-collared coat stood with his feet together on the wall, fragments of ice scattering from him, converging into bizarre and oddly shaped ice sculptures, numbering about thirty to forty.

They were a mixture of various animals, roughly human-shaped, standing on all fours.

Gradually, these sculptures seemed to be carved, becoming lifelike, their expressions and actions appearing more realistic.

The next moment.

They truly came to life, reviving from the crystal clear ice, rushing towards the Lady’s direction, their speed increasing, their bodies expanding until they became gigantic monsters.

These ice crystal monsters themselves were not affected by the white-clothed woman, seemingly because they were not living beings in the true sense.

”Wow!!”

A horrified scream echoed from underground, resembling a baby’s cry, audible even to Su Changxing and his companion from afar.

It was as if the sound of a heartbeat reverberated in their ears.

The Hunters in the ruins covered their ears one by one, kneeling to the ground and letting out cries of pain.

Giant Infant!

Su Changxing’s eyes widened, almost forgetting about this creature — the monster living underground in Shield Company, possessing some sort of deflective damage ability.
