Chapter 56: Chapter 24: Explosion

Outside the auction house, numerous Ghoul Investigators holding assault rifles waited anxiously.

They had never received such a strange order before. During a mission to expel ghouls, they were only required to guard the exits.

The occasional sounds of fighting coming from inside the auction house made these investigators a bit anxious.

Maniwa Haruo was equally anxious, pacing back and forth at the back door.

"What’s happening inside? First-class Bai Ye is being reckless. No matter how strong he is, he can’t face so many ghouls alone."

It had been a full twenty minutes, and the auction house, from initially constant screams, had become unusually silent, which made Maniwa Haruo a bit uneasy.

While Maniwa Haruo anxiously waited, Su Xiao’s slightly fatigued voice came through the Bluetooth headset.

"Come in, start cleaning up the auction house and prepare to put out the fire."

Put out the fire? Maniwa Haruo was a bit puzzled, but still led people to open the back door of the auction house.

With the back door open, Maniwa Haruo led a large group of investigators rushing in.

As soon as she entered the auction house, Maniwa Haruo smelled a strong scent of blood, her delicate eyebrows frowning.

Maniwa Haruo quickened her pace, rushing into the auction house hall.

"Bai Ye~, First Class..."

The scene before her eyes left Maniwa Haruo stunned.

A large number of ghoul corpses were piled up haphazardly, and on top of the pile sat a man with a cigarette in his mouth.

This brutal scene instinctively made Maniwa Haruo take a step back.

Maniwa Haruo had seen many corpses, but the scene before her was something she was seeing for the first time. This scene might only appear on ancient cold weapon battlefields.

Just as Maniwa Haruo wanted to approach Su Xiao, she suddenly felt her foot slip, almost falling.

Looking closely, the ground was already coated with a layer of fresh blood.

"What are you standing there for? Start cleaning the bodies."

Su Xiao flicked the cigarette butt from his hand and put away the now clean Dragon Slash.

"Yes."

Maniwa Haruo instinctively straightened her posture.

The investigators were equally shocked by the scene in front of them, but these people had excellent mental resilience.

Taking out many body bags, they began to clean up the bodies.

Su Xiao moved his somewhat sore body; he had pushed himself to his limits.

If the number of ghouls exceeded one hundred, handling them would be challenging, and if it exceeded two hundred, he would undoubtedly die.

Earlier, when the auction house lights went out, he used night vision goggles to gain the upper hand, giving those ghouls a rude awakening.

Moreover, those two S-Level ghouls couldn’t unite. If they had led the many ghouls to fight Su Xiao, today’s outcome would not be the same.

Tonight’s situation seemed perilous, but Su Xiao did not act recklessly alone. Given the situation, as soon as he gave the order, a large number of Ghoul Investigators would rush in.

He was confident he could hold out for a long time under the siege of many ghouls.

Su Xiao knew his strengths; his strength was immensely high attack power and rich combat experience. He could exert great combat effectiveness in a one-on-one fight.

But in a group battle, because his physical attributes weren’t high, resulting in a less robust blood bar, his group battle ability was slightly weaker.

There is no perfect person in the world. Su Xiao already had balanced development in three attributes. If he further developed his physical attributes, his progression in becoming stronger would slow down, ultimately falling behind other Contractors’ progress.

Su Xiao is a Hunter, and he must be stronger than Contractors of the same level; otherwise, how could he hunt his targets?

Sitting in the CCG vehicle, Su Xiao looked at the investigators cleaning up the bodies.

It would take some time to completely clean up the auction house, so he could take this opportunity to rest for a while and recover his life value. His life value was only 27%.

He took out a portion of Golden Fried Rice, recovery food in a static state that needed activation before eating.

After choosing to activate the Golden Fried Rice, the membrane on the outside broke and dissipated into the air, and the Golden Fried Rice was actually steaming hot.

A strange fragrance wafted in, and Su Xiao couldn’t help but swallow. This seemed very delicious.

Taking out the chopsticks he had prepared beforehand, Su Xiao tried a bite.

The rice grains were wrapped in soft egg, making the rice grains appear slightly hard. With the egg’s wrapping, the texture was excellent. Due to superb cooking techniques, the aroma of the rice and eggs blended together.

After eating one bite, Su Xiao couldn’t help but take a second bite.

This portion of Golden Fried Rice was incredibly delicious, worthy of being from the Food Wars world, delicious to the point of being criminal.

Su Xiao suddenly had an idea — should he kidnap a chef from the Food Wars world?

He shook his head with a bitter smile. The cost did not equate with the reward, and improving strength was more important. With great strength, he would not worry about not having delicious food.

Unknowingly, he finished the Golden Fried Rice in his hand, not a grain left, still somewhat wishing for more.

After drinking a bottle of mineral water in a few gulps, Su Xiao leaned back satisfied in the seat. After a full meal post-battle, what could be happier?

A warm feeling came from his stomach, and his life value gradually recovered.

As his life value recovered, the wounds on Su Xiao’s body began to heal quickly.

"What is that smell, so fragrant."

Shuuzou Suzuya came running, his nose twitching.

"Suzuya, get in the car, ready to return to the division."

Although Shuuzou Suzuya had an odd personality, he still obeyed orders.

"Are you eating? Could you share some with me?"

With a smile on his face, Shuuzou Suzuya peeked out from between the seats, looking at Su Xiao.

"I’ll treat you all to a feast tomorrow."

He would still need these people to follow him to clean up District 14 in the future, so it’s necessary to win some hearts appropriately.

Having expelled many ghouls, there was a rule in the CCG that expelling ghouls earned a hefty bonus.

This was reasonable; being a Ghoul Investigator was a high-risk job, and the salary was enviably high.

After dealing with Shuuzou Suzuya, Su Xiao began to summarize the gains and losses of this battle.

This battle had earned him 372 Contribution Points, with his Contribution Points now at, First-grade Investigator, Contribution Value 897/2000. He needed another 1103 Contribution Points to complete the task.

He acquired one Green treasure chest; although he killed more than a hundred ghouls, no White treasure chest dropped.

This made him suspect that he might have the "African curse," meaning bad luck.

From opening boxes all this way, aside from specific items, he seemed not to have obtained any great things.

The Dragon Slash (White) was essentially snatched, not obtained from a treasure chest.

The Soul Crystals (Small) were opened due to his vast disparity with the monster.

Evil Spirits Roar (Green) was obtained from Gecko’s treasure chest. Gecko was a major character pushing the plot. Killing him gained a lot of World Source.

Even so, he only got one ring with a score of 21.

"This~."

Su Xiao sighed; he suddenly realized he had the "Chieftain" qualifications.

Fortunately, he wasn’t super unlucky, just average luck at most.

With a bitter smile, Su Xiao stopped thinking about these things.

By one in the morning, the auction house was completely cleaned of corpses, and after the CCG Investigators assembled, the convoy began returning to the division.

This was undoubtedly a glorious victory, annihilating the enemy without any casualties on their side.

Many investigators had smiles on their faces, looking at Su Xiao with awe in their eyes.

The convoy drove on the midnight streets, empty of people, appearing particularly quiet under the dim yellow streetlights.

Resting against the passenger seat, Su Xiao suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dread, as if standing on the edge of a deep abyss, his body leaning forward.

Danger was approaching from below!

Without hesitation, Su Xiao opened the car door, jumping out and rolling on the asphalt road to stabilize his position.

Another figure jumped with Su Xiao, it was the astute Little White Shuuzou Suzuya.

"Boom!"

The vehicle Su Xiao was in suddenly exploded, the car was blasted up, turning several times before stopping.

A huge crater appeared on the road; the explosives were not hidden under the car but buried underground.

Flames shot into the sky, accompanied by a strange burnt smell mixed with the stench of gunpowder.

Su Xiao immediately identified it as the smell of burning ’Polyisobutylene.’ Someone had planted C4 plastic explosives on the road he passed.

A Contractor was lying in wait to ambush him, but relying solely on a bomb to try and kill him was utterly foolish.

With Dragon Slash appearing in hand, Su Xiao cautiously surveyed the surroundings.

He had rested in the car for over an hour, recovering eighty percent stamina, and his life value was fully restored after consuming recovery food three times.

Su Xiao had long anticipated that a Contractor might attack him but was unsure of when exactly.

With his life value very low, he didn’t hesitate to eat the expensive recovery food as a precaution.

Looking at it now, his actions were very correct. Otherwise, in his previous state, he might have faced certain death.
