Chapter 111

The next day, all the holes in the alien space were opened. The high-level nightmare beasts were indeed waiting for this day. Even though many candidates had killed many nightmare beasts in the alien space yesterday, when I opened the window early this morning, the streets were still full of nightmare beasts.

Of course, it wasn't just the nightmare beasts, there were also some stupid residents. Feng Lan's previous warnings were indeed useful, and few residents went out these days. After two or three days of warnings, almost everyone could see it, and those with brains should have known that they should quickly hide at home to save their lives.

But there are always brainless people in this world. It is understandable that they decide to go out and stock up as soon as they see the news, but if they are not satisfied after two days and want to stock up for a third day, then they are simply greedy and want to swallow an elephant.

There were also some people who, seeing that nothing had happened for two days, relaxed their vigilance and thought that prophecies were of little use. They all suffered this time.

The nightmare beast had been out since last night, but it had been hiding in the darkness and had not revealed its body. It suddenly appeared in the morning when some residents came out to stock up.

The streets were covered in blood and screams were heard everywhere. Su Bei was also awakened by the screams and went to the window to see the nightmare beasts tearing humans apart.

But he just watched quietly and had no intention of saving anyone.

After a while, several psychics came out of the sewer and started to clean up the nightmare beasts on the ground. However, there were not many people, and most of the psychics were still cleaning up in the alien space, after all, the nightmare beasts there were the majority.

Su's mother was also woken up. She looked at the chaos outside with sympathy. When she saw Su Bei coming out to wash up, she looked relieved and said, "Fortunately, we listened to your friend's advice. Look at it outside, it's so scary!"

After she finished speaking, she saw a nightmare tiger directly hit the pillar. Su Mu was immediately frightened: "It is so strong, can we hold up our door?"

Su Bei put his hands on Su Mu's shoulders soothingly and walked her to her room, away from the window: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Although he said this, his eyes fell on the door. The teacher at school once said that compared with ordinary people, people with special abilities can attract nightmare beasts more and are a great supplement for them.

As long as they sense the breath of a superpower, nightmare beasts will rush over even if they are far away. Therefore, through his mental power, Su Bei could clearly sense that there were already many nightmare beasts surrounding the door. However, the pressure of the high-level mental power he released made these nightmare beasts instinctively dare not approach.

But it won't be long before they can't bear it anymore, and they have to be dealt with quickly.

Thinking of this, he casually threw out dozens of gears, which went out through the window and then flew into the corridor through the windows of the corridor outside. In just a short while, he killed all the nightmare beasts outside.

Advanced mental power is so convenient that even if others don't go out, they can easily sense the situation outside. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to kill the nightmare beast across the door.

Su Bei did not seem to be relaxed after killing the Nightmare Beast easily, as he knew that this was just an appetizer. If the candidates were strong enough to overwhelm the Nightmare Beast, then he, a "little follower", would not have to worry about his own safety.

But just looking at the nightmare beasts scattered all over the streets, it can be seen that they do not have such strength. Or on the contrary, even if the superpowers make arrangements in advance, facing such a battle, the first-year students are really helpless.

This is understandable. You have to know that every battle requires countless powerful esper to fight and fight. The new esper in the first year of high school has just mastered his own abilities and can't even say that he understands them. Even if there are 500 people, how can they defeat so many nightmare beasts?

As early as when he heard that the winning team would get 500 points, Su Bei had a hunch that they probably wouldn't win. Otherwise, why would there be such a completely unbalanced reward of 500 points?

These 500 points are not only a reward for winning the battle, but also a reward for them to create a miracle.

But miracles are not so easy to create.

Speaking of which, there is Ling You in the next dungeon. If Ling You's ability [Plague] is used in such a battle, Su Bei can't imagine how much damage it will cause.

With such a supernatural power, maybe they can really win the battle next door. Su Bei put his hand on his chin and tilted his head, but he was not panicked. Jiang Tianming was on their side. If the battle next door won, then they would probably win too.

And he just needs to be content with being a salted fish.

Another day passed in a flash. Su Bei sat leisurely beside the French window, eating afternoon tea while watching the nightmare beasts running rampant below. Today's situation was more serious than yesterday. The streets were densely packed with nightmare beasts.

Not only on the streets, but also on the rooftops, in the sky, and in the trees, there are many nightmare beasts lurking, looking around eagerly, trying to find prey that they can feast on.

I have to say that this scene is truly shocking. With so many nightmare beasts, if a person falls from them, I'm afraid there won't even be a splash, and he will be swallowed up in an instant.

Naturally, there were no residents on the streets, and all the living people were hiding in their homes. This was definitely not a long-term solution. Just as Su's mother worried, not to mention wooden doors, even iron doors, silver doors, and golden doors might not be able to stop the attacks of nightmare beasts.

You have to know that they not only have strong bodies, but also have special abilities.

What's more, this is just a low-level nightmare beast!

Fortunately, the presence of the superpowers greatly attracted the attention of the nightmare beasts. As long as they were still attacking, the nightmare beasts had no intention of causing trouble for ordinary people.

Compared with the congee and side dishes, the Manchu-Han banquet is of course more eye-catching.

The attack of the psychics gradually shifted from the sewers to the ground. All the remaining nightmare beasts in the alien space came out, and now there are no more left. Therefore, only a small number of psychics stayed in the alien space to find a "closing point" to at least block the retreat of these nightmare beasts.

This way, if things really happen, we can do better when people from other cities come to support us.

However, it is worth mentioning that the task of closing the "closed point" is actually very dangerous. Because it takes ten minutes to completely close the "closed point".

When the "closing point" is activated and the shutdown process is started, the nightmare beasts coming out of this alien space will be sensed immediately. Many nightmare beasts will come back immediately and kill the invading mutants before the "closing point" is successfully closed.

If you can't make it through these ten minutes, not only will you die, but your "blocking point" will also be reopened.

But in fact, even if they succeeded in closing it, these nightmare beasts would not let them leave and would definitely kill people to vent their anger. It can be said to be a mission with a narrow escape from death.

Su Bei looked at the gray sky, wondering how many candidates were left for this "battle replica". If there were not many left, he would have to hurry and leave home.

Although no matter whether he left or not, as long as all the candidates died, the door of his house would be breached in the end, but if he left early, he could at least buy some more time for Su's mother to be safe.

Although the other party was just an imaginary character, the care and love he had shown these days were real. If he could leave this city, he could try to save Su's mother's life.

But the problem is that they can't leave. He has seen clearly in the past few days that not only the candidates can't leave the city, but even the indigenous people can't leave. They don't even realize that there are other cities. Not only no one has tried to leave, the government has never thought of seeking help from outside. It is obvious that they are in an island mode.

Speaking of the government, they probably realized that the situation was completely out of control and they couldn't even save themselves, so they no longer insisted on killing Uncle Li and the others, and began to clean up the Nightmare Beast.

They are still quite powerful, and they actually have a batch of supernatural items that can be used by ordinary people!

It was a prop similar to a gun, and needed to be charged. The energy to be charged was of course mental power, and the government had already prepared a batch of them, no wonder it was so slow before.

After seeing the situation clearly, they immediately used the only available TV broadcast to tell the people that they would airdrop a batch of weapons from the rooftops of each building, calling on all the people to take up arms and fight against the nightmare beast together.

This plan is indeed good. A big part of the reason why the candidates could not defeat the tide of nightmare beasts is that they were outnumbered. 500 psychics are certainly not a small number, but compared to the tens of thousands of nightmare beasts, it is somewhat insufficient.

Being able to increase their combat power would be a help to them in any case, but the losses would also be equally great.

Compared to the psychics who have been strengthened by their mental powers and trained every day in school, the bodies of ordinary people are too fragile. Some fast nightmare beasts can easily take their lives before they can react. It is difficult to hit a single bullet after firing a series of bullets.

Compared with the losses, the gains are totally not worth it.

But there was no other way. If everyone didn't join the war, they would probably die in the end. Since we were going to die anyway, we might as well kill a few nightmare beasts. At least we could make a contribution to humanity.

Of course, the government's actions were not completely useless. At least the situation was temporarily under control, and the nightmare beasts and the mutants on the streets barely reached a stalemate. Although people continued to die, more nightmare beasts died.

Although the situation is not entirely good, at least we can see some hope of victory.

But Su Bei was not confused by the current situation. He knew clearly in his heart that there were still high-level nightmare beasts that had not appeared.

Not to mention high-level nightmare beasts, even mid-level nightmare beasts didn’t appear much.

It is worth mentioning that a blind intermediate nightmare beast had come to his house before. It seemed that the other party was cleaning up the lone psychics who were unwilling to participate in the battle. In its eyes, those who did not participate in the battle must be weaklings who were easy to deal with.

However, Su Bei was not a soft persimmon. He slightly adjusted the pointers above both parties' heads and easily lifted the other party away.

Just as Su Bei finished eating a few snacks and was about to check his phone, he suddenly received a private message.

“Ding Dong!”

When I opened it, I saw it was from Jiang Tianming: "Su Bei, we plan to use Si Zhaohua's ultimate move to destroy the high-level nightmare beast, do you want to come?"

Si Zhaohua's ultimate move brought back memories for Su Bei. If he remembered correctly, the ultimate move Jiang Tianming mentioned just now should refer to the one he used in the individual battle of the monthly exam.

The first time I used it was at the request of an opponent, but I was interrupted by the teacher right at the beginning.

The second time... the second time was used on Su Bei himself, which broke his defense for a long time.

That ability was indeed powerful. Even thinking back on it six months later, he still felt like there was no escape.

But Su Bei was also very clear that his current ability was still far from being comparable to that of a high-level nightmare beast. In the previous illusion of the alien space, even with his high-level mental power, he was completely unable to penetrate the opponent's ability.

Can Si Zhaohua's ultimate move really defeat more than one high-level nightmare beast?

After thinking for a while, Su Bei typed and asked: "What is your plan?"

"You know Si Zhaohua's peculiarities, and the higher-level Nightmare Beasts are, the easier it is to be attracted to him. So we plan to have him use his supernatural powers at the city gymnasium, and after the high-level Nightmare Beasts are attracted over, he will defeat them in one fell swoop."

He first sent the main idea of ​​the plan, and then he began to send the details: "His skill can judge up to three individuals within the range at the same time. When the time comes, we will stop the other nightmare beasts outside, and he will wait for the arrival of the high-level nightmare beasts inside."

Su Bei was not surprised that there were so many nightmare beasts outside, but they had to pick on the most difficult high-level nightmare beasts. After all, this was a test with scores, so it was obvious that the high-level nightmare beasts must have scored high. And they were probably much higher than the other nightmare beasts.

They probably realized that they couldn't win this battle, so they had to find another way to earn points.

As expected, someone sent another message soon. This time it was from Si Zhaohua: "You have also witnessed Ling You's ability with your own eyes. If another candidate in the 'Battle Replica' really relies on Ling You's ability to score 500 points, even you will probably have to accompany us to the bottom."

"It's okay. You guys are here to keep me company." Su Bei was not panicked at all.

Si Zhaohua on the other side of the screen showed a speechless expression: "We plan to get back some points by killing high-level nightmare beasts. If you don't come, we may surpass you by then."

"So you cooperated with Jiang Tianming?" Su Beirao asked with interest. You have to know that these two people are very incompatible. The fact that they can cooperate can only mean that the threat of the final exam is great enough.

Si Zhaohua immediately defended himself: "This is just a temporary expedient."

Obviously, he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't refute it. After he finished speaking, he quickly sent another message: "So, are you going to join our action or not?"

At the same time, Jiang Tianming also sent a message: "So you're coming?"

It must be said that these two people sent him invitation messages at the same time, which really gave him a weird sense of tacit understanding.

But this action...

Su Bei felt that it was not very reliable, at least the current plan was not very reliable. So he replied to both of them: "Take a photo and send it to me."

Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua didn't understand what he meant, but they quickly sent him a selfie.

Su Bei used his supernatural powers to look at the photo and saw the compass of destiny above their heads. That's right! Although he has not found an opportunity to improve his strength through comics for so long, he has not made no progress.

Now he can even use photos to activate his supernatural powers.

The pointers above Jiang Tianming and Si Zhaohua's heads were surprisingly consistent. As expected, the little finger pointed to the right, and very far to the right.

There is no doubt that their operation this time will fail, and fail miserably.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "I can participate, but don't assign me any tasks. I will show up when the time is right."

The first person to reply was Jiang Tianming. He didn't mean to ask any more questions, and answered simply as always: "Okay."

Si Zhaohua, on the other hand, raised a question mark and warned: "You'd better not show up at the end and say that your role is to celebrate for us."

Su Bei just smiled and said nothing.

After turning off his cell phone, he told his mother that he was going to sleep, then locked the door and jumped out of the window.

Jumping into the tide of nightmare beasts, the blond boy was almost immediately submerged. But in the blink of an eye, several flashes of metallic light passed by, and a small area was cleared in an instant.

Now his control over the gears has reached perfection, and he can attack all the vital parts without bias. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to jump down like this.

Apparently, his action successfully frightened the nightmare beasts around him. Low-level nightmare beasts have little intelligence, just like wild beasts. But wild beasts also know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and will not provoke enemies stronger than themselves unless necessary.

If Su Bei didn't attack them, they would just avoid Su Bei. If one or two of them came over occasionally, they could be dealt with easily.

This is also a reflection of the low IQ of low-level nightmare beasts. If they really swarmed over, no matter how powerful Su Bei was, he would definitely die. Of course, he knew that these nightmare beasts would not attack him after seeing how powerful he was, so he dared to jump down like this.

We arrived at the city gymnasium. The plan hadn't started yet, so naturally there was no one there. Su Bei walked around twice.

This place is very empty, which is indeed suitable for fighting, but not for escaping.

As expected, Jiang Tianming and his team were doomed to fail. What he needed to do was to rescue them and give them a second chance so that he could successfully take away the 500 points that belonged to him.

But how can we rescue people from such a place?

Su Bei walked around the outside of the gymnasium again and found an external staircase leading to the rooftop.

He suddenly remembered Feng Lan's prediction. Feng Lan said that he saw himself slacking off on the rooftop in the future fragments, and that the rooftop was not the rooftop of a building.

Doesn't that fit the current situation?

Standing on the rooftop and looking down, the middle part of the gymnasium is open-air, from here he can see both the situation outside and inside.

Finding a suitable spot on the rooftop and sitting on the ground, Su Bei began to take inventory of the props he could use. Was this a final exam, or a joint exam for three schools? He wasn't sure about anything else, but at least their performance inside would definitely be seen outside.

Therefore, he must not use any props that are beyond his status.

Of course, this does not mean that Su Bei can only use the props produced by the academy points mall. Who said that he has no props of his own? But even so, in addition to the props given by the academy, he only got a lot of props from trading with the people from the "Black Flash" organization when he went to Mushroom Road last time.

Once those props were taken out, they would definitely be discovered by the people of the "Black Flash" organization, and then his identity would be exposed. So he couldn't use them.

Well, that’s not necessarily true!

Suddenly, a prop flashed through Su Bei's mind - "fixed-point teleportation"!

This was the gift Zheng Yun wanted to give him at the time, but it was actually a deceptive product because it would explode when used, directly exposing one's identity.

But after being improved with "comic consciousness", this item naturally no longer has the drawback of explosion points and has become a real teleportation item.

He had asked carefully about the specific usage of the prop before. He only needed to set a fixed point in advance, and then use the prop anywhere to be teleported immediately. Moreover, he could not only teleport himself, but also the person he was holding.

Afterwards, you just need to recycle it at the designated location and it can be reused.

This tool is very suitable for use when the time comes, and can immediately take them to a safe place. But there is still a problem, how can he take all the people away in one go?

Si Zhaohua, the only one who can fly, will inevitably be targeted as the protagonist of the plan, and the plan to fly and carry people will not be able to be successfully implemented.

It would definitely not be possible to just turn invisible and jump down to save people, because by then there would be densely packed nightmare beasts all around, and it would not be a place where one could be invisible.

There is only one prop, and he must use this opportunity to grab everyone and take everyone away together...

No, maybe he just needs to take one person!

Suddenly, another idea flashed through Su Bei's mind.

It is known that the only one who is truly responsible for fighting against the high-level Nightmare Beasts is Si Zhaohua. For the sake of safety and to block ordinary Nightmare Beasts, the others will be outside the gymnasium.

In other words, the one who is truly isolated and helpless is Si Zhaohua, and he is also the real key.

Knowing what was going on, Su Bei took out his phone and sent a message to Si Zhaohua: "Is it possible that your ability could suddenly attract a large number of nightmare beasts that are stronger than your normal ability?"

When he climbed over the wall and through the window to return to the room, Si Zhaohua finally responded, "It was the time when I just turned off my superpowers. Because I still had the smell of the [Angel] superpowers, but I looked very weak without them. I've tried it at home. At this time, even if the nightmare beasts nearby didn't see me, they would rush over like crazy."

After replying, he asked, "What's the matter? It seems that there are things you don't know."

Su Bei ignored his last words and did not answer his question: "Got it. Don't forget to call me the day before the plan starts."

He was afraid that he would miss the time, which would be funny.

"The plan is set for the day after tomorrow. We will first eliminate some nightmare beasts in the next few days." Si Zhaohua told Su Bei the time directly. This kind of plan should be kept secret. The fewer people who know about it, the better. After all, high-level nightmare beasts have extraordinary IQs. If they know their plan, they are likely to respond.

However, there is no need to hide the situation in northern Jiangsu.

The day after tomorrow, there is still plenty of time, so I can hang around for a few more days. Su Bei stretched his back and when he opened the door, he ran into Feng Lan who had returned. Feng Lan asked straight to the point: "Do you know about their plan?"

Hearing this, Su Bei raised his eyebrows and asked with understanding: "They asked you to make a prediction."

With such a prophet on hand, there is no reason not to ask before taking action. If it were him, he would probably ask too.

Feng Lan was not surprised that he could guess it, and nodded: "My prediction is that they will not die."

Of course, they are the protagonists after all. Besides, he is the backup. Su Bei seemed to think of some jokes every day, and showed a joking expression: "They won't think that the plan will succeed just because of this, right?"
