Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 716 Entering the Endgame
Su Weiyu explained as concisely as possible the rules of the trial, the series of events they had encountered before, and the incident in which she was pulled into the book by the writer on her way here.

"I understand, but I haven't met any other trial-takers along the way." Xia Shou thought about it, took out his walkie-talkie, and tried to contact the headquarters, but there was no signal.

Su Weiyu blinked and took out her walkie-talkie: "How come I have a signal?"

"Fuck, has mine been broken for a long time?" Xia Shou took Su Weiyu's walkie-talkie, tuned in, and connected to Su Yue's channel, "Hey, Xiaoyue, can you hear me?"

"Brother Xia Shou! I just came out of the headquarters." Su Yue's voice sounded particularly excited.

Su Weiyu stood by with her fists clenched, also looking excited: "Hurry up and ask her how her parents are doing!"

"Um... have uncle and aunt been rescued?" Xia Shou relayed.

"Yeah! I've already entered the gap in the reflected world with the others."

Hearing that her parents were fine, Su Weiyu breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely relaxed.

Xia Shou then asked: "When you met with Lin Tiandong, what did he ask for?"

"Captain Lin... is dead." Su Yue's voice sounded a little sad. "Alas... let's talk about this matter when we have a chance. I just brought Xiao Zuo and Xiao You back to the headquarters. Now I plan to support the front-line cleanup. Brother Xia Shou, do you need any help?"

Hearing the news of Lin Tiandong's death, Xia Shou felt only a little sad.

He had thought of this result a long time ago, but when he heard that Lin Tiandong had died, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. The man known as the nameplate collector eventually died because of his obsession with his relatives.

Having gone to this extent, it was only natural to end up with this result. As for how to view Lin Tiandong's behavior, Xia Shou didn't want to think about it too much. The person was already dead, so there was nothing to say.

"I don't need any support. In fact, I am more powerful when acting alone. Which route are you going to take now?" Xia Shou asked.

"Route 13."

"You have to be careful and...do things within your ability." Xia Shou originally wanted to say "you must survive", but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was unlucky and too heavy, so he changed his words and asked the other party to do things within his ability.

In fact, Xia Shou really wanted to tell Su Yue that if the situation was not right, she should escape decisively, because staying alive was the most important thing.

But Xia Shou thought of the other finishers who were also working hard, and thought that Su Yue chose to become a finisher and has been working hard ever since then.

Telling her to run away or something like that... I always feel like it's an insult to her persistence so far.

"Yeah, so is Brother Xia Shou." There seemed to be a hint of smile in Su Yue's voice.

After the call ended, Xia Shou said to Su Weiyu, "Line 13, please hurry over. I am alone here. If there are people around, Owl Crying Blood Boiling will not be very effective."

Su Weiyu nodded slightly, picked up the bicycle and was about to set off.

She pedaled her bicycle, and just a few meters away, she suddenly turned back, took out a bulging plastic bag from the front pocket and handed it to Xia Shou.

As soon as Xia Shougang took it, before he had time to ask what it was, Su Weiyu turned around and rode away on her bicycle without looking back.

He took out something wrapped in layers of tin foil from a plastic bag. One of them was a still hot pizza, and the other was two cans of Coke that were still a little cold, but not too cold.

It has been a long time since the reflection world began. All the people in the city have been pulled into the gap between the Root Sea and the real world. Most areas in the city have suffered power outages due to the damage caused by the battle. No one knows where Su Weiyu got this still warm pizza and cold drink.

Xia Shou could imagine Su Weiyu riding her bike past a pizza shop that still had its lights on, stopping to get a pizza, heating it up in the microwave, then taking out two cans of Coke from the cold drink cabinet, packaging them and bringing them along.

Xia Shou put the pizza into his mouth and took a bite. The cheese inside the pizza was a little cold, but in this hot summer night full of bloody battles, its deliciousness was not affected at all. The hunger caused by not eating for a long time and high-intensity exercise made his taste buds extremely sensitive.

…it’s really delicious.

Xia Shou continued to move forward with the pizza in his hand. With his other hand, he pulled open the ring of the can with a "pop", took a swig, and let the cold carbon dioxide bubbles explode on the tip of his tongue.

In this situation where every second counts, Xia Shou actually feels that it is a waste of time to sneak into a pizza shop and spend five minutes to get pizza and cold drinks, but this is the conclusion he can come to after rational analysis.

Xia Shou was thinking about how many people who were still fighting in the city could be given a hot midnight snack like him when they were extremely hungry. Even the starving finishers could only find an empty restaurant on the side of the road and get some leftovers. He was probably the only one who could eat pizza and cold drinks without having to find food for himself.

Xia Shou thought of a sentence that was once very popular on the Internet. At that time, if netizens saw a very likable female character in a film or TV series, they would post a comment like this: Damn, I have to find a way to marry this woman.

Xia Shou really feels this way now.

But it’s really a headache.

Xia Shou sipped his ice cola and sighed in distress.

How can we ensure that even if the confession fails, the existing relationship will not be damaged?
This is really a huge problem.

……

……

In the general command room of the Jiangbo City Control Bureau headquarters, the newly established monitoring system is gradually taking shape, and the drones dispatched are constantly capturing images of the entire city.

Although the picture quality appears particularly rough due to lighting issues, as time approaches morning, the dark night is gradually fading away and the picture is becoming clearer.

The powerful force of the Control Bureau was fully demonstrated in this raid. Although there were casualties on the end-user side, the teams on most routes advanced with overwhelming force.

Most of the battles that were won were won in a very short time, while for the battles that were lost, the Control Bureau could often hold on for a long time. As for the battles that were evenly matched... basically, they all ended with the closers welcoming foreign aid.

Of course, this does not mean that the control bureau’s raid was so easy. The casualties among the finishers were actually quite high. Many of them were replaced by “civilians” who ate the writer’s book pages through suicide attacks.

The mental states and superpowers of those civilians were extremely bizarre. Experts from the Analysis Department speculated that the author had fed them with high-risk book pages that had been prepared long ago, using them as human bombs.

In addition, there are a few extremely dangerous individuals that ordinary teams cannot handle at all.

For example, there were a few people wearing Roman numeral head masks, two of whom took only five minutes to kill an entire team of finishers.

For example, some crazy people who keep mumbling "Mom" have frighteningly strong fighting power.

As time goes by, the overall mopping-up progress has reached 70%, but the remaining 30% seems to be becoming increasingly difficult.

Not only were the remaining ones tough nuts to crack, but what was even worse was that as the number of high-level deaths gradually climbed, even though 678 was eating as hard as if he were participating in a big eater competition, the concentration of anomalies in the entire city was still rising at an extremely dangerous rate.

Now, even 678 has stopped eating. The last words it said before going on strike were: "Enough! You bastards, can't you see that I can't poop anymore? Damn it! What do you think I am? A shit-making machine?!"

After 678 stopped eating, looking at the abnormality risk classification no longer had any meaning, because the entire city had become a red high-risk area.

If any ordinary person were to remain in the city right now, they would go insane in a matter of seconds.

Such a complex and chaotic spell power environment has caused all the extraordinary people above level three on both sides of the enemy and us to face severe tests.

Lindy, standing in front of the large-screen monitor, turned around and looked around.

He didn't see the other acting director, so he turned to look at Modise: "Doctor, I'm about to send out the firing squad. Do you have any scientific suggestions?"

Modise glanced at Lindy, shrugged, and said self-deprecatingly: "Right decision, but I think there is no room for us to command now."

When only a few chess pieces are left on the chessboard, it is an endgame.

If this city is really a chessboard, then every place is the bottom square, and the extraordinary people above level three are the soldiers who move to the bottom square, but no one can control what they become.

To become a queen, or to become a fortress.

Even at that time, whether they can still be considered companions will only be determined by the cursed energy that permeates this city.
