Chapter 598: Chapter 179: Warning
Elba’s expression shifted slightly, unable to read Su Changxing, feeling that this man was shrouded in a layer of mist, then smiled and said:
"Even if you can beat us, so what? We have so many Wizards, so many Soldiers. You guys are just like mantises trying to stop a chariot."
Su Changxing was taken aback for a moment, turned to look at Elba, and questioned, "Wasn’t it you who wanted me to attack Donglin City?"
"It wasn’t me; it was my sister. She just wanted you to delay things as much as possible and not let the war end too quickly." Elba said somewhat helplessly.
Su Changxing nodded thoughtfully, "Indeed, with Regla dead, the war ends, and then you’ll have internal strife... What goes around comes around!"
Elba saw Su Changxing’s gloating expression, suddenly felt irritated, and said, "What do you want to do?"
Su Changxing suddenly stopped, looked at her with a light smile, and said:
"Why are you asking so much? What do you want to do? You should know my purpose... We don’t conflict. You want to protect the Kod Clan and become the Wizard King, while I just want to drive you away."
Elba showed a sweet smile, "Don’t worry, Sir, I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"I hope so."
Su Changxing said without turning his head.
...
Su Changxing took Elba to the border of the Donglin Region.
He came here not to go to Hedong County, but to verify something.
What exactly was waiting for him outside?
There was nothing special here, black mist, forest, mountains, everything was more or less the same.
Red-eyed Black Crows flew in flocks, fighting monsters in the black mist, absorbing their blood and rapidly reproducing themselves.
The breeding method of Black Crows was peculiar, not through laying eggs, but through self-splitting.
One Black Crow in front of Su Changxing split into two, right before his eyes.
The entire process did not pause at all; it was completed in mid-air, and the two Black Crows that emerged were not much different from the original.
But their life features were completely different, perhaps considered a new life.
Elba floated ahead, suddenly noticing that Su Changxing had stopped.
"What’s wrong?" she asked.
Su Changxing suddenly sensed a crisis, as if a beast in the deep sea was staring at him, ready to pounce if he dared to take one more step.
He stepped out, and immediately, his entire body began to rapidly disintegrate from the edge, without any warning, dissolving into particles of light scattered in the night sky.
It was an absolute annihilation, including body, soul, and every possible existence.
...
Su Changxing snapped back to reality, realizing he ultimately did not take that step. He was not a moth, seeing danger and still rushing towards it.
"What is going on here?"
Su Changxing detected it was a high-level, rule-based annihilation, similar to triggering some kind of pre-warning mechanism.
Others were living outside the Donglin Region. Why couldn’t he leave?
Could this alert mechanism be targeting only him?
There must be some fundamental difference between him and others.
Be it strength, position, or the discount shop he carried, there were certainly other differences, but these points were probably the key.
He thought of viruses and the antivirus software used to detect them, and the Donglin Region seemed like an area overlooked by antivirus software.
Speaking of viruses, he thought of those heretics. Aren’t they akin to viruses?
"Is that the reason? But not necessarily."
He also considered the discount shop, which should also be a virus in the Doomsday Game.
But why didn’t such a warning get triggered when he went to the Guiding World, and he could move freely?
Nor during the zombie apocalypse.
This antivirus software was only deployed in their world, or perhaps only in a part of it.
Su Changxing thought of the key issue, yet many things still didn’t make sense, including why Huang Biao warned him not to leave.
Huang Biao clearly didn’t have that capability. He was just an Ordinary Person, albeit a peculiar one. Even after becoming an Extraordinary, he wasn’t that outstanding.
His most prominent feature was his leadership quality and mindset.
So someone else must have informed him, someone Huang Biao knew.
After the first wave of the apocalypse had just ended, it was also he who took Huang Biao out of the bar.
Chenxi?
Su Changxing immediately thought of a person in Chenxi, who could predict the future, foreseeing the onset of the apocalypse. So knowing something else wasn’t impossible.
Like seeing Su Changxing stepping out of the Donglin Region and dying, thus warning him not to leave.
But can someone really have such a strong Ability? This would be akin to a Divine Spirit. Su Changxing was skeptical.
Another person also knew about this, the ghost-like little boy in Donglin City.
He hinted multiple times to Su Changxing not to leave.
This might be a coincidence, but Su Changxing believed that there weren’t so many coincidences in this world. Every coincidence was an action with a purpose behind it.
"Nothing’s wrong, I just suddenly don’t want to go forward. Let’s go back."
Su Changxing said nonchalantly.
Elba found it somewhat inexplicable, "Not going forward? Then why did we come here, just for fun?"
Su Changxing nodded, "Yes, we just came for a walk."
Elba was sure Su Changxing was hiding something, but she had no discoveries:
"We look really silly this way, inexplicably going over there, then walking back. Wizards wouldn’t waste their time on something so boring."
"I’m not a Wizard... Besides, people need to learn to slow down. Rushing around, you miss many interesting things." Su Changxing said earnestly.
Three black lines appeared on Elba’s forehead, she reiterated, "Wizards only do meaningful things, even with long lives, life isn’t for wasting."
Su Changxing tore open a bag, put a piece of beef jerky in his mouth, and mumbled, "But is killing meaningful? We’ve lost quite a few people to Wizards."
Elba was taken aback and bluntly said, "At least for the Wizards themselves, it’s not meaningless... What are you eating? Let me have one."
Su Changxing handed over a piece casually, saying, "Beef jerky, don’t you have this there? By the way, Wizards like you shouldn’t need to eat, isn’t this a waste of time?"
Elba took the beef jerky, bit it, and assured, "This doesn’t count!"
