Chapter 333: Chapter 329: Regular Cigarette

This place is right at the edge.

After more than forty minutes, Su Changxing completely exited the No-Man’s Land. Looking back, under the night sky, specks of golden light flickered.

Others had also caught up. They hovered at the border, not daring to step over, as if this place was the edge of life and death, and within it roamed the undead.

He let out a slight sigh of relief, noticing the task completion notice.

[Task Complete: Escape the No-Man’s Land]

[Acquired Mysterious Item: ”Ordinary Cigarettes”]

[Ordinary Cigarettes: Dingguan, Upper Rank, allows you to become an unnoticed smoker by the roadside, significantly reducing your presence.]

Su Changxing looked at the white, scrunched-up soft cigarette pack in his hands. It contained exactly ten cigarettes, without the smell of tobacco or any other scent.

It really was quite ordinary, didn’t seem like cigarettes at all... Su Changxing couldn’t help but ridicule, putting the cigarettes into his backpack.

This item belongs to the High Tier of Mysterious Items, and it definitely can’t be as ordinary as it appears, but unfortunately, it doesn’t directly enhance combat power.

Jin stared with wide eyes, appearing especially spirited, quietly observing the surroundings without speaking, looking well-behaved.

”Let’s find a place to rest.”

Su Changxing opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

Although he could now freely control the Deep Dream state, the state itself had a time limit, and he had reached the limits of his energy and stamina.

”Swish~”

After clearing the last zombie around, Su Changxing dragged a Steel Saber covered in black blood into a dilapidated building that had collapsed halfway, leaving only three stories.

Jin leaned against the wall, lost in thought, said, ”I still can’t move, it seems.”

Her body was in a semi-paralyzed state, likely due to the overuse of superpowers, causing her body to be overdrawn and stressed.

Su Changxing laid out a sleeping bag nearby, took out food and water, and said: ”This is the downside of being a Superpower User. No matter how powerful the superpower, it will cause problems without the corresponding physical control.”

”But the biggest problem was her taking you deep into the danger zone. Your body has already shown significant problems, and you should be able to feel it yourself.”

Jin took the water bottle, took a big gulp, and said, ”Yeah, it’s a bit uncomfortable, and her situation is even worse.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, ”Did you see anything special inside?”

Jin pondered for a moment and said, ”Nothing much, it was empty, just that tower and the endless snow.”

Su Changxing took out the golden seed and said, ”Where did you find or grab this thing?”

”Under a white tree, and there were many people there.”

Jin recalled for a moment and said seriously, ”Then she rushed over and grabbed it.”

”······”

Su Changxing was stunned for a moment, then thought it really seemed like Shen Xuan’s style, very domineering: ”Then you were surrounded and killed by those new humans, trapped in the church.”

Jin puffed her cheeks and said, ”Actually, I could have killed them all... it was just a small accident.”

She looked like a child encountering a setback for the first time, still unwilling to admit defeat even though she almost died.

”If only we weren’t inside.”

Su Changxing added.

He glanced at his phone. Zhu Wenwu had sent a message saying they had just exited the No-Man’s Land from a different location, but there was still no trace of the Monkey King.

Jin looked at Su Changxing and asked, ”What’s wrong?”

Su Changxing said somewhat helplessly, ”The monkey is lost. I brought it along.”

Jin thought for a moment and decisively said, ”It’s still alive.”

Su Changxing nodded, ”Hmm, it might be very adaptable to the environment inside.”

One thing to note was that the collar’s restraint on the Monkey King had completely disappeared, seemingly greatly weakened in the No-Man’s Land.

Huang Biao and his group had already settled at the edge of the danger zone, not far from a Security Bureau outpost, apparently a location directly provided by Lin Xiuyu.

Su Changxing then messaged Zhong Jueqing: Have you come out?

No response for a long time.

He was probably still in the No-Man’s Land, in a zone without any signal.

Su Changxing suddenly realized that if Zhong Jueqing suddenly died inside the safety zone, it would certainly cause major problems, possibly even chaos within the Security Bureau itself, and many things would deviate from the original plan.

”It would be best if he doesn’t die······”

Su Changxing took a deep breath, waved a hand, and Tao Yi appeared in front of him, shifting in and out of sight, with half of her body incomplete.

Though Tao Yi looked badly damaged, being undead, she could quickly recover as long as she consumed enough remnant souls.

Jin tilted her head, looking at Tao Yi, with a pondering expression, and said, ”Is this a ghost, a dead person?”

”You could say that.”

Su Changxing nodded, then instructed Tao Yi to go and absorb the remnant souls in the air around, while also clearing zombies.

After that, he ate some food, quietly leaned against the wall beside his sleeping bag, and fell asleep.

······

The sky was faintly bright, still with a hazy feeling, and the whole world was dark.

”So cold~”

Shen Jinxuan felt intense pain in her head and a biting chill, but she smelled a thick, warm fragrance.

Su Changxing was sitting cross-legged nearby, fiddling with a makeshift fire, cooking a pot of thick soup with ingredients from cans.

He turned to look at Shen Jinxuan in the sleeping bag and said, ”Awake? How are you feeling?”

Shen Jinxuan sat up, looked at her hands, and said blankly: ”Hmm, okay, better than yesterday.”

She staggered over, sat down next to Su Changxing, and watched the bubbling soup over the fire rack, sighing: ”Smells really good.”

”Hmm.”

Su Changxing nodded, smiled, and said, ”But for a hungry person, everything smells good.”

Shen Jinxuan took the bowl of thick soup that Su Changxing handed over. It contained pieces of meat and beans, with a strong corn fragrance. She took a sip and said seriously:

”Very fresh, tastes a bit like strange corn soup... That seed seems related to that iron tower. There are similar things deep within the No-Man’s Land.”

Su Changxing paused, frowned, and said, ”There are more?”

Shen Jinxuan nodded, remembering the fragments in her mind, and said, ”I saw it from a distance, but we couldn’t get to that place anymore, so we later took this seed from the town.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and asked, ”Did you receive any task related to it?”

Shen Jinxuan checked her phone and said, ”Yes, I did. It wants me to destroy the seed... the reward is body enhancement and a mysterious item.”

The Doomsday System very much wanted them to destroy this golden seed, though it couldn’t directly interfere, it was guiding them through tasks.

But is it really right to follow the Doomsday System’s guidance?
