Chapter 216 Outbreak, Rescue

Jinghai University Dormitory building.

Su Ze issued a series of commands in the Public Channel.

"An Lan, Wang Meng, Xu Feng, Qiao Yunfeng, and the other nine Leaders, you are responsible for killing the Supernatural Entities."

"The kiting ghosts operation will be handled by the Leaders' deputies. Qiao Yunge, you will command the kiting ghosts operation remotely throughout the process."

"Jiang Yuwan, you are in charge of overall coordination and maintaining contact with me, as well as handling any emergencies."

"All players, cooperate with An Lan and the Leaders in the cleanup."

Having said that, he wasted no more time and directly used the [Burst] Bond.

A majestic power instantly surged through his entire body. Su Ze felt his strength skyrocket at this moment, his basic combat power jumping from 230 to 460 in an instant!

Almost simultaneously, An Lan and the nine Leaders also felt a surge of power,

Due to the stacking effect of [Enfeoffment], their strength instantly soared from the original 23 points to 46 points.

Su Ze's figure flashed as he turned into an afterimage, rushing out of the Dormitory building and sweeping toward the direction of the building.

...

On the ninth floor, inside an ordinary Dormitory room.

Shi Yetang was currently disguised as an ordinary female Research Personnel, sitting together with several other Research Personnel,

On the surface, she was looking at the constantly scrolling messages on the Public Channel with a worried expression, but in reality, her mind was entirely on Su Ze.

She had been pretending to be slightly worried about her own safety, but in the next moment, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her heart shook violently!

She clearly perceived that the power she could use in Jinghai University had instantly skyrocketed to 460!

This feeling was like her body had been suddenly elevated, leaving her in disbelief.

"That's it!" Shi Yetang thought to herself, recalling the scene in the Maze where Su Ze's strength had suddenly increased.

"This guy's strength suddenly surged in the Maze before! I didn't expect it could actually double all at once now..." Her heart was filled with doubt and vigilance.

Her own strength was limited by the rules and would change according to the strength of the strongest person in the area.

This proved that Su Ze's strength had reached 460 at this time.

From the looks of it, Su Ze had far too many secrets.

Besides the "Halo" effect, she didn't know how many trump cards he actually had.

"I can't underestimate him too much," Shi Yetang warned herself. "I shouldn't alert the enemy unnecessarily."

If she could obtain the secret behind Su Ze's rapid rise, it would be much better for her than simply killing him!

Not to mention that her strength was currently suppressed, and she didn't have the absolute power to kill Su Ze...

On the other side, Su Ze had already instantly charged into the World Financial Center.

He didn't go to rescue Lu Jiaming immediately; instead, he rushed straight to the second floor.

He rushed into the building, feeling the decaying Halo permeating the surroundings and the faint sounds of ghosts wailing, without a moment's hesitation.

Lu Jiaming and his subordinates must be in dire straits right now.

Su Ze could even imagine what kind of tragedy was unfolding in those offices at this moment.

But he didn't go to rescue Lu Jiaming first.

In Su Ze's dictionary, the phrase "taking risks personally" never existed.

His principle was always to ensure his own safety and maximize his interests.

Therefore, the simple explosives and molotov cocktails on the second floor had to be dealt with first.

"I must get these things first," Su Ze calculated in his mind.

Otherwise, if the building was blown up because of these, he would also suffer...

That would be a humiliating defeat.

Now that his strength had skyrocketed and his speed was astonishingly fast, these Wandering Ghost couldn't pose any threat to him at all.

He moved through the corridors like a ghost; the Wandering Ghost didn't even have time to react before he swept past them.

In just a few breaths, Su Ze rushed onto the second floor.

In the second-floor corridor, many Supernatural Entities were also wandering around.

Su Ze did not stop.

"Boom!"

He kicked open the door to the second floor, which was filled with various supplies.

At a glance, he saw the simple explosives and molotov cocktails piled in the corner.

There was quite a lot, almost filling several large boxes.

Beside them were several remote detonation control devices.

Su Ze was not polite; after destroying those devices, he directly put all the simple explosives and molotov cocktails into his backpack.

Only after doing all this did Su Ze feel at ease.

In addition, he had a [Town Portal Scroll] in hand; if he encountered a danger he couldn't handle, he could escape at any time.

He turned and sped toward the top floor.

...

The top floor of the World Financial Center.

Lu Jiaming and the others were still struggling to hold on.

The surrounding office doors were teetering, and Wandering Ghost were constantly pouring in through the torn cracks.

"Bang!"

Another office door was completely destroyed, and more Wandering Ghost shrieked as they rushed in.

"Boss, it's no good... I can't hold on much longer..."

A core high-level member's face was pale; the speed at which he swung the peach wood sword in his hand was getting slower and slower, and his body was swaying.

The other high-level members were the same.

After all, their strength was far inferior to the Leaders under Su Ze; facing such a large number of Wandering Ghost, they were nearing their limit.

A large number of subordinates had already collapsed unconscious, their life essence sucked away by the Wandering Ghost, turning them into cold corpses.

Lu Jiaming watched this scene with burning anxiety. These people were his core team!

At this time, the "Stealth" effect of the Pot Bottom Ash smeared on their bodies had also completely expired.

Without the concealment of the Pot Bottom Ash, more Wandering Ghost sensed the Halo of living people and lunged at them frantically.

"It's over... we're all going to die..."

Despair instantly spread, and the eyes of many players showed the color of dead ashes.

Lu Jiaming's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand; that sense of despair almost suffocated him.

He gritted his teeth and swung the peach wood sword unwillingly, but in the face of the Supernatural Entities surging like a tide, his counterattack seemed so pale and weak.

At this critical moment, just as a thick despair rose in their hearts and they thought they were doomed—

"Roar—!"

A world-shaking roar suddenly came from below the building!

This sound carried pure spiritual energy, sweeping up like a hurricane, penetrating layers of floors and blasting directly into the top floor!

In an instant, in the top-floor office, the hundreds of Wandering Ghost that were about to pounce on Lu Jiaming and the others suddenly stiffened!

In their pitch-black eye sockets, something invisible seemed to be shattering, emitting ear-piercing screams.

In the next moment, they were like snow scorched by the scorching sun, falling to the ground in pain.

Their bodies quickly turned to ash and disappeared, leaving only a few scattered drops on the ground.
