With the help of Xiaoyi and Xiaoer, Su Changxing only needed to change the properties of the special material, then inject it into ordinary pendants, transforming them into ancient bronze pendants.
In just half a day, he managed to create five hundred ancient bronze pendants with extraordinary speed.
At this point, he stopped, feeling a bit ntally exhausted and needing a break.
But Xiaoyi and Xiaoer showed no signs of slowing down. Even without Su Changxing’s guidance and control, they continued to dismantle these mysterious items as before.
What is order?
Su Changxing didn’t know, nor did he know how to understand it. In his mind, it should be an abstract concept that doesn’t truly exist.
Every mont, these two small data streams were interpreting the aning of "order." All their actions rigidly adhered to so rules, yet they had their own distinct consciousness.
This consciousness did not originally exist. It started to gradually form the mont Su Changxing took them out of the galaxy of data streams.
Xiaoyi seed more calm, while Xiaoer was more vivacious.
Su Changxing felt that everything he encountered was novel and unbelievable, beyond imagination.
He didn’t pull out more data streams either, as these two small data streams were sufficient to handle these mysterious items.
He then went downstairs and called over Qian Runwei and Xu Wenfeng.
"In here are guide pendants. Each of you take half and distribute them to your team mbers."
Su Changxing handed them a box containing the guide pendants and said.
Qian Runwei opened the box, glanced inside, and exclaid, "So many, just for our two teams? The others will be insanely jealous."
Xu Wenfeng smiled and said, "If you don’t tell them, they won’t know. This thing is supposed to be confidential."
Qian Runwei cheerfully assured Su Changxing, "Chief, I promise no one will say anything about this. If anyone dares, I’ll take them down."
Su Changxing waved his hand, "This matter isn’t too critical. It’ll eventually spread, but let’s keep it under wraps for now."
"Alright, I understand." Qian Runwei nodded slightly.
Xu Wenfeng glanced at the pendants in the box and said to Su Changxing, "Our people already found out yesterday that there’s a large number of Doomsday Cultists in He Kou County, and one of their bases."
"Should we just wipe them all out? It’d save us a lot of trouble."
Su Changxing thought for a mont and asked, "Have you found their exact location?"
"No, they seem very cautious because of our presence and hardly show themselves," Xu Wenfeng said, a smile appearing on his face.
Su Changxing nodded, "Wiping them out could indeed eliminate a lot of issues. I’ll personally head over later, and your team will follow."
Only a small number of people in Team 17 knew he was here; his movents were secret.
Thus, the survivors in He Kou Town were unaware, and the Doomsday Cultists there likely didn’t know either.
This explained why those cultists weren’t overly panicked. If not for Su Changxing, they might not be completely powerless against the Security Bureau.
More importantly, they knew that without absolute certainty, the Security Bureau wouldn’t act rashly, as that would only lead to more casualties.
The Security Bureau didn’t cleanse for the sake of cleansing; they had to consider broader interests.
...
The streets were relatively clean, having been tidied up to allow vehicles to pass. Even in the doomsday, vehicles remained the most convenient transport.
But that’s only within the towns. Outside, vehicle noise would attract the creatures in the black mist.
"There are quite a few people still surviving here." Su Changxing glanced up, seeing a child peering at him from a window.
Xu Wenfeng, dressed in slightly shabby casual clothes similar to the locals, said:
"The biggest losses were in Donglin City, but since there were many people, those who survived were also nurous."
Xu Wenfeng glanced at the silent Elba and asked, "Who is she?"
Su Changxing replied earnestly, "She’s a mute, just ignore her."
Xu Wenfeng sighed, "Poor thing, but you’re kindly compassionate, Chief. Without you, such a person might not survive."
"I’m not mute!" Elba glared at Su Changxing, unable to resist speaking.
Xu Wenfeng’s eyes widened, "The mute spoke!"
Elba fell into silence, "..."
They hadn’t walked far on the street when a group of ard n confronted them.
Leading them was a scruffy-bearded middle-aged man with dark skin, evidently a strengthened player.
He scrutinized Su Changxing and the others, finding them unfamiliar, he said, "New here?"
Su Changxing nodded and smiled, "Yes, just ca in these past few days."
The middle-aged man, still expressionless, took out a booklet and pen from his pocket, saying:
"I’m the sheriff here, Zhao Xingyun. You’ll need to register, what’s your background?"
Su Changxing promptly said, "Just ordinary people, no particular background."
The sheriff sneered, "Ordinary people? You don’t look like it. Ordinary people can’t cross the black mist or travel between towns. Even if they did by luck, they wouldn’t be so intact."
"Though there are many people here, I generally have an impression of them, and you haven’t appeared here before, so you’re certainly not from here."
Su Changxing also smiled, "But we’re ordinary people, sotis luck is on soone’s side, don’t you agree?"
The sheriff’s expression changed, reevaluating the three of them, then suddenly smiled, "If that’s the case, then it’s nothing."
Su Changxing pondered and asked, "Is security here that strict? Must you question everyone who cos in?"
The sheriff displayed an inexplicable look, gesturing outside, "The Security Bureau is out there, so we have to be cautious."
Su Changxing pursed his lips, "Why? Would the Security Bureau harm you?"
The sheriff looked troubled, "Not exactly, I don’t know the specifics. I’m just following orders from above."
After exchanging just a few words, the sheriff hurriedly departed with his people, almost as if fleeing.
Elba charmingly teased, "He saw through your identities imdiately. Your disguises seem no better than if you hadn’t disguised."
Su Changxing continued walking, shaking his head, "It’s not important. Them knowing is fine, not knowing is fine too—it actually reduces so trouble."
Xu Wenfeng added, "Those Doomsday Cultists will probably learn of this right away. There’s definitely soone watching us—they fear us."
Su Changxing said, "Yes, let’s observe first, then go directly to find the local leader. Have you contacted them?"
Xu Wenfeng nodded, "Yes, he’s a player, also survived the Doomsday World, happens to be in He Kou County."
"He’s probably an Extraordinary, very powerful, but rarely seen in action, so we don’t have much information on him."
Looking around, he mused, "The people here seem to live fairly well; at least they can afford food."
Su Changxing smiled, "For now, resources aren’t too scarce, so it’s natural they can eat—as long as the leader isn’t too harsh."
"There’s actually plenty of edible things. It’s not just mishaps; even leather shoes can be eaten if boiled enough."
Elba, beside them, listened intently and asked puzzledly, "Why eat shoes?"
Su Changxing realized Miss Wizard perhaps hadn’t experienced hunger and explained, "Because there’s nothing else to eat—humans need food to survive."
Elba paused montarily, insisting, "Of course, I know that!"
Xu Wenfeng internally wondered if this woman was foolish... But if the Chief liked her, even if she was dim-witted, it probably wasn’t too problematic.
Suddenly, he shivered, sensing a gaze directed at him from a nearby building.
He looked over, seeing a large-caliber gun muzzle protruding from a window, followed by a flash of fire.
