The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

Someone opened the public chat channel to ask if the defensive towers in other areas had also been attacked, and the responses were all "no"...

Only in the central tower area where Su Mu entered did the entire battlefield ignite once. After this news spread, the channel was silent for a moment.

Then someone slowly said something, as if they were reconnecting a broken wire.

"Speaking of which...were those ghosts chasing Su Mu?"

"Is it because Su Mu ran over from the Red Zone that the ghosts followed? Weren't they originally planning to attack this place?"

"So he... single-handedly led thousands upon thousands of ghosts to escape?"

The question lingered in everyone's mind, but no one voiced it.

Because the answer was too outrageous.

If that's true, it means that Su Mu not only survived the depths of the Red Zone, but also dragged tens of thousands of ghosts across the entire area, and after charging into the defensive tower, he immediately turned back and continued fighting for half an hour. Those survivors who avoided the Red Zone during the day now looked at Su Mu with something new in their eyes.

On the other side of the battlefield, the leader of the Golden Pagoda organization's squad was standing behind a section of broken stone wall, his gaze fixed on Su Mu, never looking away.

Two men stood beside him, one carrying a longbow, the other a short blade at his waist. The man with the longbow muttered, "He's killed more ghosts than our entire team combined."

"That's more than our entire team combined," the person in charge didn't deny it, "but most of the ones he killed were low-level ghosts below level five. Any class-change player with proper equipment could slowly whittle down quite a few of those ghosts from a safe position. The key question is... was he chased by those ghosts, or did he happen to encounter their attack while he was on the edge of the area?"

What do you think?

The person in charge was silent for a moment. "I don't know. And I can't see his level. Logically, we should be able to see targets within level ten. But his level is completely blank."

The person with the short blade at their waist chimed in, "Could it be that they're equipped with some kind of shielding item?"

"Possibly. But ordinary people can't get their hands on that level of shielding equipment."

The three exchanged glances, and then simultaneously thought of the same possibility.

The person in charge raised his hand, signaling to stop speculating in this direction. He said, "Make a note of this and report it to Elder Li. Do not make any probing contact here."

His gaze swept over Su Mu again, this time lingering for a moment longer. "Also... there's a very strange energy fluctuation emanating from him. I'm not sure what it is, but it feels both inviting and intensely repulsive. I can't quite put my finger on it."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked back the way he came, with the man with the bow on his back and the man with a short blade at his waist following behind him. The three figures gradually disappeared into the shadows between the towers.

Su Mu was unaware that those people were observing him.

He was sorting out the spoils of the half-hour battle.

The number of strange crystals on the panel has increased by about seven or eight hundred, and when combined with the previous accumulated amount, it is approaching nine thousand.

During the continuous kills just now, the experience bar has been pushed from more than half of level twelve to about 80% of level twelve, just a little bit away from stepping into level thirteen.

He glanced at the progress of guild quest two again... the number of slain corpse ghosts was only three so far. Those ghosts appeared much less frequently than ordinary ghosts, and mixed in with a large number of low-level ghosts, they were easily missed in the chaos of battle.

He couldn't complete it in a short time, but he wasn't in a hurry and just left the task hanging.

Chen Jun's message popped up in the guild chat: "Brother Su, you've already completed that guild quest? I just saw the notification, the group teleportation is unlocked?"

Lin Yuwei's message arrived shortly after: "Su Mu, you've caused quite a stir on your end. Rumors are circulating from the edge defense towers that you lured the ghosts to the central tower area?"

Su Mu replied, "How did you know?"

Lin Yuwei's message quickly popped up: "Because the edge defense towers weren't attacked at all. Only your side fought a battle. Now the entire 886 cable is talking about this. You were already a celebrity on this cable, and now you're probably even more famous. I'm on my way to your side, we'll talk when I get there." Su Mu didn't reply, closed the guild channel, and glanced at the main chat panel.

The messages on the 886 cable channel were scrolling very quickly.

Some people questioned the authenticity of those descriptions, feeling that the claim of "one person summoning tens of thousands of ghosts" was too exaggerated and that it must be embellished and boasted.

Those who witnessed it firsthand repeatedly emphasized that every word they said was true and urged the other party to come and see for themselves.

In the end, some people speculated that Su Mu's level was at least six or seven in order to maintain such a high kill rate in that kind of battle.

But that's all; no one guessed his level was higher.

Meanwhile, on the 7586 cable channel next door, the Americans also saw the related discussions, and their attitudes were much more direct.

"One person can summon tens of thousands of ghosts? Do they even know what tens of thousands means?"

"Even our strongest 3S-level professional wouldn't dare say they could do something like that."

"Ignore them. The average quality of their cable is just so-so. Boasting is part of their culture."

"Once we can get into that instance, we'll know the truth."

The messages rolled by one after another, each one carrying a tone of self-righteous contempt and superiority.

Su Mu glanced at the channel one last time and then turned it off.

He didn't care what those Americans said for a second longer; he had more practical things to deal with... His experience bar was nearing the end of level twelve. If he could break through to level thirteen before leaving the dungeon, his condition would be much better the next time he entered.

Just as he turned off the channel, a middle-aged man in a dark gray robe walked over from not far away.

The person wasn't walking in a hurry, but there was a deliberately controlled slowness in their steps, as if they were approaching something that needed to be handled with care.

He stopped about three steps away from Su Mu, nodded slightly, and spoke in a steady but noticeably more respectful tone than the previous professionals.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Li from our organization would like to invite you over for a chat. If it's convenient for you."
