Chapter 647: Pre-War Preparations 2

"Su Bai?" Feng Ling could hardly believe her eyes.

She instinctively glanced around her surroundings—the metal protective layers on the walls were still sturdy, and the patrol team was slowly moving along the perimeter, but their expressions also betrayed surprise. Clearly, no one knew where this person who had suddenly appeared in the center of the stronghold had come from.

Perhaps because he was going to meet an old friend, Su Bai had made a special trip back to the Mist Shop before setting out. He washed up as quickly as possible, changed into clean, fresh clothes, and then walked out of the restroom.

Before leaving the Mist Shop, Su Bai glanced at the vending machine by the shop entrance. Thinking of the "advanced technology" he had learned from the "Jiaoxiang Memory Coffee Company" instance, he made some upgrades to the vending machine.

Although Su Bai had hardly managed this special shop in person during this period, the three vending machines he had subsequently added to the shop had been operating all along.

Su Bai only occasionally glanced at the sales data on the computer behind the counter, knowing that the shop's operations had been running smoothly.

The most noticeable change was the transparent jar on the counter, which represented power.

It was a jar that had been placed there from the very beginning by Xiao Wu. The number of "grains of sand" stored inside represented the power obtained from the shop's operations.

Because Su Bai had never taken any of the power from it, he now saw that the grains of sand in the transparent jar had already filled to the brim, even spilling over the rim.

After a quick rest, Su Bai rushed to the Nameless Society's stronghold.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with a barrage of questions.

"What exactly happened?"

"And... that voice, is it really the Administrator?"

"What does 'the upcoming battlefield' mean?"

"Resistance? Resisting what?"

"But he sounded like he wasn't human... who is resisting whom?"

Realizing that Su Bai might know something, the members of the Nameless Society gathered around, firing off questions one after another, with tension and anticipation they couldn't suppress.

Su Bai raised his hand to stop the barrage of questions from the crowd.

Although Mr. Yu had bought them some time, Su Bai still tried to explain the current situation to the Nameless Society members as clearly and thoroughly as possible.

If Wu Hang, Su Xuan, and the Director were coordinating the opposition under the Red Moon Association, then he had to be responsible for gathering the human players who were still on the sidelines.

Especially these Nameless Society members before him, who had ultimately chosen to stay—they were among the few humans who voluntarily chose to remain, meaning they had already entered the battlefield.

They had to understand the existence of the Red Moon Association and the reason for the experiment, and realize what this upcoming war meant and how difficult it would be.

"Under these circumstances, what can we do?" Feng Ling was stunned by what she heard. At this stage, human players were only thinking about beating the game. Making them suddenly accept that this was not a horror game but a racial extinction experiment they were already in, and that to let humanity survive they must fight against the entire world's Eerie Entities—this was indeed hard to swallow.

"We're definitely not as strong as those Eerie Entities in the opposition, and even if they also fight against the Red Moon Association, it doesn't mean they'll help us!" Some members of the Nameless Society looked worried. "We're not refusing to fight; we're just afraid of dying silently... dying without meaning."

"First, I need everyone to do everything they can to find other humans who have remained in the Nightmare World." Su Bai stated one of his purposes for coming to the Nameless Society. "It's very dangerous to be outside the situation at this time. I know you can contact other human groups and teams, and I hope you can step forward, Feng Ling, to unite all human forces."

"Additionally, although I believe in human potential under the red moon, we don't have enough time for everyone to keep growing. All I can do is remove your fears of death."

Remove fears of death? The Nameless Society members were clearly shocked by Su Bai's words.

"I have a fixed point within me. If I die for some reason, my time will rewind to that fixed point." Su Bai continued speaking words that could break others' worldview. "Unfortunately, the drawback is that only I can use it."

"But my ability is Puzzle Piece." Su Bai revealed his ability to other humans for the first time. "With me as the core, I can transform other Eerie Entities into parts of the puzzle, meaning parts of me. When I start to rewind, the puzzle pieces, as part of me, will also rewind."

"Then can all of us become 'puzzle pieces'?" Feng Ling quickly thought of this.

But Su Bai shook his head.

"This might be feasible, but there are still major issues. After all, we can't rewind time for everyone by a whole year just because one 'puzzle piece' dies."

Then a smile appeared on Su Bai's face. "Fortunately, the creator of this fixed point is still alive and can still make some changes to it."

"And also, someone told me that if I try to release the 'puzzle pieces' inside my body, try to turn the ground beneath me, this base, a store, or even a mountain into 'puzzle pieces,' perhaps my ability could further evolve."

"Evolving an ability isn't that easy; it takes a long time..." Feng Ling struggled to digest.

"The reason ability evolution takes time is that our bodies lack sufficient power."

Su Bai's words were firm, or rather, at this point he had to be firm.

"As long as we obtain enough power, miracles might happen very quickly."
