The room was very quiet.
More than fifty people sat densely across the room resting, Huang Biao leaned against a worn-out bench and the wall, his face calm, but his eyes were filled with gravity.
The more unexpected situations occur, the more it signifies that things are slipping out of their control.
"Click, click~"
Footsteps sounded outside the door.
Su Changxing pushed the door open and walked in, his mouth slightly upturned, he said blandly:
"I'm afraid we now have no retreat, only one path left, to eliminate the Extraordinary here. Only by eliminating them can we possibly get out of here."
Although Su Changxing thought that by exploring a little more, they could find some patterns and then leave, there was no need.
As the saying goes, breaking through the boats and sinking the ships, Qin's passes belong to Chu in the end...
Many times, strength is one aspect, but the spirit is another.
Since Zhu Wenwu lost the mark due to the battle, they now know nothing about the situation with these Hunters.
Huang Biao's eyes flickered, he nodded and said: "Although the Hunters might already be aware of our existence, they absolutely didn't expect us to directly launch an attack..."
This is a psychological battle, their actions need to exceed the opponent's expectations to grasp the initiative.
Su Changxing agreed, and solemnly said:
"Moreover, it's just noon now, our golden time is only about two or three hours, by the time it nears evening, these Hunters' powers might recover partially... so we can't delay, we must seize the time and gain an absolute advantage before sunset."

The black wood cabinet was filled with crimson wine, swirling under the dim candlelight, appearing extraordinarily charming, and a deep wine aroma could be smelled.
In the dimness, two large plates of beads were placed on the table, along with three wine glasses, some liquor spilled on the dark red tablecloth, and a piece of charred steak placed in the plate, topped with some black pepper sauce.
An old man with half-white hair, a lean figure, and a hunched back, stared at the steak on the table, licked his lips, and smiled:
"It seems you should already understand my meaning now, if this continues, it will always be a dead cycle, we need to break this game... She is not a savior, but rather one of the end-time factors, a thief, a robber."
"All of us are working for them, like wild dogs given a tiny bit of meat scraps, driven by survival instincts to the brink... yet we ourselves have not realized it."
Blood-like liquor swirled in the clear crystal goblet, with the clear sound of water hitting the glass wall.
Sitting opposite him was a man with short hair, wearing a high-collared coat, his skin had a reflective, crystalline texture, he took a big sip of wine, carelessly said:
"I do miss this kind of taste, light and peaceful, at least there's no death... what a pity."
The man took a deep breath, looked up, and said facing the dim light:
"Actually you already anticipated I would agree, no need to beat around the bush, just, I think there's no chance, at least you can't."
The old man remained unchanged, kept smiling, confidently said:
"No, you already believe it, otherwise you wouldn't have come here... we need to stop this stupid, cruel, and meaningless affair."
Just as the words fell, a person dressed in leather armor, with blood-stained bandages wrapped around his shoulder walked in, and said:
"Message from stronghold number three, saying there are otherworld humans appearing beside their stronghold, it seems exactly three people who went out died."
His shoulder was "gunshot", injured by that otherworld creature.
The old man furrowed his brows and said:
"Have them be cautious, during the day, try not to take the initiative to attack, now there are already not many of their people."
Three people dying isn't a small matter, indicating the visitors' strength isn't weak, but the problem shouldn't be big, there are still more than thirty people there after all.
Just, the more he thought, the more uneasy he felt, this thing seemed too strange.
There are coincidences in this world, but also not coincidences.
He paused, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and added: "Constantly monitor the situation there, report any circumstances immediately."
"Mm, okay."
The bandaged person nodded, turned, and walked out, a skillful appearance, but with some indifference in his heart.
With that lunatic there, what problem can arise?
And the situation should only get better, not worse.

After making the decision, Su Changxing and the others split into three teams and advanced along the complex alleys, heading toward the hospital near the center of the town.
Zhu Wenwu was alone at the front observing the situation, checking for ambushes or other accidents, after all, the terrain here is indeed complex, carelessness could easily lead to danger.
Zhou An followed next to Su Changxing, observing the surroundings, shivered, and said:
"This place is too desolate, instead it gives an uneasy feeling."
There was nothing here, only dusty, dilapidated streets, with some flyers with indecipherable content occasionally scattered on the ground.
Su Changxing stopped, looking at the content on the announcement sign:
Black Mountain Hospital Friendly Reminder.
If you encounter someone wearing a blue hospital gown, please inform us, or you can send him to the hospital.
And if you encounter someone wearing a red hospital gown, please immediately stay away from him, and immediately inform us of his exact location, in case of any accident, we are not responsible.
...
Some of the writing was already blurred, but because it was made of iron, it was roughly preserved.
What the heck?
Su Changxing felt that the content on this sign was strange, very abnormal, and said:
"This place probably wasn't just a simple mental hospital before the end times."
Geng Yong also glanced and said: "Could this be some sort of secret research facility, like studying non-normal persons, Superpower Users?"
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said:
"Possible, but it seems more like they were studying mentally unstable Superpower Users, which are inherently dangerous."
From this position, they were actually very close to the hospital, yet still hadn't spotted any traces of the Hunters, which seemed strange.
They arrived all the way to the front of the hospital gate, Zhu Wenwu was leaning against the wall, observing the inside through the gap.
Every window on the hospital building had been fitted with anti-theft bars, which were solid iron bars, appearing unusually tough, certainly impossible for a normal person to pry open.
Zhu Wenwu turned back with a solemn expression, said:
"They are in the basement of the second building inside, we can go from the side, which can also reduce the risk of exposure... perhaps we are already exposed."
If Hunters came out to engage them now, he might feel more at ease.
