The entire convention hall, under everyone's combined efforts to reinforce it, had become impenetrable.
However, due to Chen Luo's prior instructions, a single vulnerability remained: the main entrance to the convention center.
Hearing that Su Xiao had not acted on her own initiative but had perfectly executed his design, Chen Luo nodded in satisfaction.
"Are you wondering why I left this vulnerability?"
Su Xiao hesitated, "I've guessed at a possibility, but I'm finding it hard to believe."
Chen Luo looked at Su Xiao with surprise. This woman was truly intelligent. But her disbelief was understandable, as his plan surpassed the common sense of peacetime.
"You've guessed correctly. I don't intend to be holed up in this venue, waiting for these evil wolves to mercifully spare us. Since the world has been transformed into a doomsday game, we can also be proactive."
A confident glint flickered in Chen Luo's eyes.
"I intend to throw open the gates! Let the monsters that consider themselves predators come in! I will show them who the true overlord of this Blue Star is!"
Indeed.
A look of understanding dawned in Su Xiao's eyes. This man was planning to hunt the endless, terrifying wolf pack!
However, after confirming her guess, Su Xiao's expression became uneasy.
"Boss, although you are very strong, there are just too many of them to count. And I saw your previous battles; your attacks are powerful, but your skills require activation time. If the combat team can't hold them back, the front line will collapse..."
Facing Su Xiao's unease, Chen Luo placed his hand on her slender shoulder and said with a firm voice,
"Try to trust me a little more. Facing this so-called doomsday, we also have the right to make our voices heard."
...
Hearing Chen Luo's calm words, Su Xiao was momentarily stunned. For the first time in her life, her heart beat a little faster in a strange way.
A hint of a suspicious blush seemed to be appearing on the icy beauty's face, but Su Xiao still remembered her purpose for being here.
Having confirmed Chen Luo's combat intentions, Su Xiao chose to follow him. After all, from the first time she met Chen Luo, she felt this man was unfathomably deep.
However, there were some things Su Xiao felt she had to make clear to Chen Luo.
"Boss, there's something I want to tell you first."
Chen Luo nodded gently. This beautiful older sister had quite a few secrets.
For instance, Chen Luo still didn't know her profession, nor did he know that the power fluctuations within her body far exceeded level 0.
Seeing Chen Luo nod in acknowledgment, Su Xiao did not hesitate. She reached down, seemingly searching for something.
Then, the next moment, as Su Xiao raised her hand again, she pulled a black gun from beneath her.
Don't misunderstand; Su Xiao was wearing leather pants. She had simply retrieved a gun from a sealed pouch on her thigh.
A gun?! Upon seeing what Su Xiao held, Chen Luo's expression instantly tensed.
In Great Yan, anything related to firearms was no small matter. And given Su Xiao's solemn demeanor, this gun did not look like a replica toy at all.
Su Xiao looked at the gun in her hand, her gaze becoming distant. "I am a member of the Great Yan Official Bureau's Special Operations Team stationed in Donghai City."
Hearing this, Chen Luo looked at Su Xiao's current attire with some curiosity. Black tight-fitting clothes on the bottom, a white top on the upper body, and white hair on her head, whether it was a wig or dyed – this was clearly a cosplayer of the character Shenhe.
Sensing Chen Luo's peculiar gaze, Su Xiao glared at him angrily.
"Who says women in the special operations team can't like 'OP'! What's wrong with me playing dress-up during my time off!"
Chen Luo quickly waved his hands in surrender. Su Xiao rolled her eyes at Chen Luo and continued.
"Originally, I was on vacation today to attend the convention, but after the doomsday game descended, I unexpectedly received an emergency recall notice."
"After receiving the notice, I rushed out of the convention hall."
Chen Luo looked at Su Xiao with some surprise. Most of the survivors currently in the convention hall were originally from the venue or had fled in from the outside.
This was the first time Su Xiao had heard of someone actively charging out into the monster-filled world during the day.
Su Xiao's gaze seemed to fall into memory. "At that time, monsters had just appeared on the streets, and I was preparing to head to the assembly point as ordered."
A trace of fear appeared in Su Xiao's eyes. "But when I rushed out of the street where the convention hall was located, I saw hell..."
"I'm sorry, I can't describe what I saw. However, Chen Luo, you must remember, at night these monsters are just appetizers. This doomsday game is far more terrifying than most people imagine."
Chen Luo nodded strangely. After the doomsday game descended, Chen Luo, due to directly looking at the dragon, was severely injured and fell unconscious for six hours, perfectly missing the daytime when the doomsday first occurred.
Now, listening to Su Xiao, it seemed that daytime had presented an even more terrifying spectacle than the endless night wolf pack.
Su Xiao composed herself, suppressing the fear in her heart, and continued speaking while looking at the service pistol in her hand.
"Because of those terrifying things, I couldn't get out onto the main street, so I retreated. Along the way, I shot and killed a few newly appeared night wolves, and I discovered something very bad."
Seeing Chen Luo's puzzled expression, Su Xiao raised her service pistol. Looking at this embodiment of human violence in her hand, Su Xiao's gaze became distant.
——————
Next, Su Xiao recounted a very unfavorable fact: all monsters killed by firearms could not grant even a single experience point to a professional.
The doomsday game did not restrict any conventional firearms on Blue Star, but once a conventional weapon was used to kill a monster, professionals could not gain experience, and thus could not level up or grow.
As for wounding a monster and then having a professional kill it, that did grant experience. However, even the agile Su Xiao had faced near-death experiences several times when dealing with wounded monsters, let alone ordinary people.
Moreover, conventional weapons were not omnipotent. When Su Xiao returned to the venue, she learned from her teammates that even on the first day of the doomsday, many terrifying monsters had appeared that were immune to firearms.
The appearance of monsters that even heavy sniper rifles and explosives could not destroy was a terrifying nightmare for humanity.
Not to mention the nuclear explosion that occurred not far from Donghai City after Chen Luo awakened.
Upon hearing about the nuclear explosion and the earth-shattering dragon roar that followed, Su Xiao understood.
Humanity's conventional weapons at this stage had completely failed in their battles against the doomsday monsters!
This was also one of the important reasons for the official bureau's loss of contact.
Outside a few super-large safe zones, the forces of the major military regions were barely resisting the tidal wave of monster attacks. Great Yan's overall situation was precarious.
As for the so-called rescue, Su Xiao had heard nothing of it until the communication from Donghai City was cut off due to the nuclear explosion.
Donghai City, in this tide of doomsday, had become an isolated island.
And Chen Luo was the only hope Su Xiao saw in this doomsday, which was why Su Xiao was willing to fully assist Chen Luo.
This man might truly be able to bring about a miracle.
