Emulator: Opening Talent Super Gigolo

Repel the Cold

He took heavy steps and shouted, “The closest public defense system is under the television tower.”

Every city would establish many small-scale defense systems.

However, it cost a lot to build each public defense system. Moreover, the construction conditions were harsh, and thus the density of these defense systems was very low.

The closest public defense system to where they were was under the television tower. It was over ten kilometers away.

“As long as we can get there, we’ll be safe.”

At this moment, the half-n*ked woman was a little stunned from fear. “We... we aren’t going to hide here? If we go out...”

If they did, they’d definitely meet even more skeletons on their way.

Based on Lin Chang`an’s capabilities, the chances were clearly higher for them to survive if they were to hide in the mall and find a concealed corner.

“We mustn’t just sit around and wait.”

Lin Chang`an didn’t explain much and quickly ran.

As he advanced forward, he kept on running simulations intermittently in his mind.

[You were practicing movement art.]

[You were practicing movement art.]

[Nothing could stop you from practicing your movement art.]

[Your movement art attained a breakthrough past the perfection stage. It had gained the highest possible phase, reaching the conceptualizing stage.]

[You continued practicing.]

[At the age of 37, black fog descended and you died in the black fog.]

Lin Chang`an immediately chose to retain his combat experience, and his movement art improved in proficiency. At this moment, he seemed to sense the flow and movement of the wind.

He took a step forward and crossed tens of meters in one move.

This was what it meant to be comprehending the essence!

It was no longer just the form, but he was one step into comprehending the divine!

Chu Li was stunned. She then instantly accelerated and somehow managed to keep up.

Lin Chang`an glanced at her in surprise. “Boss, your movement art is so good!”

“I don’t like fighting, so I naturally have been working on my movement art,” Chu Li said this as she pointed diagonally to the right in front of Lin Chang`an. “There’s...”

Before she could finish her words, Lin Chang`an struck out a punch!

A bone blade slashed down and he smashed it with one punch!

After his movement art reached the perfection stage, he could even sense the changes in the wind. As a result, when this blade whistled through the air and slashed toward him, he already sensed it before he saw it.

The terrifying impact came gushing over. After this attack, Lin Chang`an only felt that the qi and blood in his body were seething non-stop.

This blade-wielding skeleton was a tad stronger than the one before.

It kept on running, casually grabbing a car on the road and throwing it out.

Amidst the sound of the car cutting through the wind, Lin Chang`an threw out a punch to crush the car before he stomped down heavily, borrowing the momentum to leap up to several ten meters high!

An arrow then pierced into the ground he had been standing at.

Hence, Lin Chang`an looked toward a short building not far away. A longbow-wielding skeleton tilted its head and seemed to be surprised that he could dodge the attack.

Before Lin Chang`an could give it much thought, another blade attack came slashing down!

The huge skeleton leaped up and appeared above him, pressing down with immense pressure!

A loud boom then echoed!

Lin Chang`an only felt as if the bones in his hand were going to shatter.

“It can condense a blade at will?!”

He looked over and saw that this skeleton had drawn out a bone from its rib, blowing it into a long blade and then using it as a weapon to slash at him.

After that, another attack rumbled and Lin Chang`an forcefully endured the pain as he slammed straight into it.

The skeleton’s gaze was filled with astonishment, as if not expecting that a human would be courting death like this.

It smiled sinisterly, turning its entire body into a weapon.

It then collided fiercely against Lin Chang`an!

With a loud bang, Lin Chang`an threw out a punch with the power of his entire body, penetrating this skeleton in the chest!

However, the collision of the intense force caused him to feel as if his skull was going to shatter.

After he landed, he quickly leaped up again. Another arrow had just missed him again.

Lin Chang`an then picked up the arrow from the ground and threw it fiercely toward the rooftop.

This skeleton nocked another arrow and fired, hitting the one that Lin Chang`an threw and destroying it instantly.

It then continued to look down only to realize that it had lost sight of Lin Chang`an.

“Mn?” Tilting its head, it looked down into the crowd once again and fired a few arrows consecutively. It decided to stop searching for that human.

In its eyes, its attraction toward this human was only slightly stronger compared to the rest.

Although the lifeforce fire that the other humans provided was weaker, they were enough to attract it.

At this moment, Lin Chang`an and the others had moved behind another tall building.

He sensed that this skeleton wasn’t bent on dealing with him.

“Although the black fog came because of me, these skeletons don’t know that.” Lin Chang`an thought to himself. “I’m just a little unique to them and might be a little more attractive.”

At the thought of this, he instantly felt at ease.

This meant that he could just push on with his strength.

As he thought this, he continued to run to the television tower and the defense system under it.

Each step he took was just nicely calculated. The direction and path he chose each time avoided the skeleton swarm.

Chu Li had a look of astonishment on her face as she saw the densely-packed skeletons on the nearby street. She was a little stunned.

“How do you know?”

“Intuition.”

In Lin Chang`an’s simulation, he had intentionally taken the risky path and explored every street, then he chose the memory fragment for his rewards. As a result, he knew about the skeleton swarm like the back of his hand.

In some places, there was really no avoiding them, so he could only forcibly barge his way through.

He kept slaughtering his way through the skeleton swarm.

The density of the skeletons in this black fog episode was terrifying. On the way here, both the young master from the Wan Clan and the half-n*ked woman were a little astonished.

“Why are there so many more skeletons than there usually were in the past?”

The skeletons that appeared in the mall were clearly more than usual. However, they didn’t expect it to be the case on the streets as well.

“The last time a black fog episode took place in Qindao City was four years ago. Back then, the monsters’ density was only half the current one…”

This journey was a hair-raising one.

Hence, the Wan Clan’s young master kept on thinking that the money he paid was too well spent.

He then looked at Lin Chang`an; his gaze was like when Simon Qing saw Pan Jinlian*

As Lin Chang`an kept on running like this, his body soon became covered in white powder and murky black blood. Finally, after half an hour, the group arrived at the defense area.

Lin Chang`an punched open a path, and all the minor skeletons on both sides were smashed!

Amidst the stunned gazes of everyone in the defense area, he brought the four people with him and entered smoothly.

Panting vigorously, he realized that everyone nearby was looking at him with a gaze as if they were looking at a freak.

Countless people before them had wanted to enter, but they were either scared off or killed by the densely-packed army of skeletons nearby.

“Young fellow, you’re quite strong...”

Before Lin Chang`an could say anything, Chu Li pulled him up, bringing him and the unconscious Su Xi`er into a room in the defense area.

“What is it?” Lin Chang`an felt a little strange.

“Netherworld qi has gotten into her body.” Chu Li pointed to Su Xi`er with a solemn expression. “If this is not taken care of earlier, it’d become a big problem.”

“Netherworld qi?” Lin Chang`an then looked at the wound on Su Xi`er’s hand.

At this moment, her hand was emitting a deep dark aura.

This was the injury Su Xi`er had gotten from fighting against the sword-wielding skeleton earlier.

“Her physique seems to be very unique. However, if this enters her spirit sea, she’d be crippled.” Chu Li pointed to Su Xi`er’s lower abdomen.

“Spirit sea?”

Su Xi`er hadn’t become a first-realm expert yet, so how could she have a spirit sea?

Many other questions arose in Lin Chang`an’s heart.

By right, the Su Xi`er in his simulation had an exceptional status and she should have personal bodyguards with her.

But why hadn’t he seen them before?

“Her identity in her clan seems to be very strange.”

The fatty that he saved had slipped out by himself, so it was understandable that he didn’t have any bodyguards with him. But what about Su Xi`er?

At this moment, Lin Chang`an looked at Su Xi`er’s lower abdomen, which didn’t have any excess fat, and was a little stunned. He realized that there were traces of spirit qi flowing there. It seemed that there was really a spirit sea in her body.

“Right now, we need to repel the cold for her.”

“Repel the cold?”
