Chapter 507: Chapter 507 - It"s Really StarCraft!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The light was still on, so Wei Xiao Bei moved the mouse.
A person had immediately shouted him to stop but was stopped himself by Xu Fei Yang.
With the move of the mouse, the already dark screen of the monitor immediately lit up.
The scene of a game was currently playing at the screen, and it was StarCraft.
It was indeed so. Wei Xiao Bei immediately came to an understanding. There was no doubt the monsters were related to the game that was currently open. The monsters might have appeared from the Dust World while the person was playing.
Naturally, there was still one more problem to settle, why there were only two corpses.
Looking at the computers of the internet cafe, there were at least eight computers that were turned on. This meant that there should at least be eight people!
"Mr. Wei, what did you see?"
Xu Fei Yang quietly walked to his side and inquired.
"Why are there only two corpses, but there are eight computers on?"
Wei Xiao Bei naturally would never say that the monsters were related to the Dust World. Wasn"t that the same as placing mud in his underwear? He only said what he had seen in the area.
Hearing this, Xu Fei Yang nodded his head and praised, "Mr. Wei is truly worthy of being called a Guo Shu Great Scholar."
"Little Zhou, let the people of the village come in and try to identify the corpses."
Zhou Yi Ni responded and left.
Soon, the villagers had been called over.
Naturally, the most suitable person for identifying the corpses was the village head. As the village head, they naturally knew everyone in the village from young to old and male to female.
"Aiya. This is the Zhang family"s eldest child and also the owner of this internet cafe. This other one should be his little brother who helps him guard the place. My child saw some more people in the internet cafe yesterday night."
Although the village head did not clearly state the names of the people, the people there came to an understanding. The two people who died were the owners of the internet cafe. Just like that, a question arose. Where did the remaining six go?
Wei Xiao Bei could faintly sense that they must have been sent into the Dust World. As for Xu Fei Yang, his brows knit even tighter. Who knew what he was able to see. He immediately asked the village head for the ident.i.ty of the other people before giving his instructions, "Little Zhou, give the police station, the airfield, the train station, and the bus stop a call. Ask them for a.s.sistance in finding these people. Moreover, hire someone to go to the bank to inspect their bank accounts."
Seeing Xu Fei Yang busy himself, Wei Xiao Bei did not say much and gave prior notice to him. Then he went to find Yu Zheng Qing, got in the car, and had him send the both of them back.
Yu Zheng Qing had inquired with Wei Xiao Bei if he wanted to meet with the experts of the SIC, but he only shook his head. There was something on his mind at the moment as he was not in the mood to communicate with others.
After returning to the dojo, Yu Zheng Qing said his goodbyes and left. Zhao Guang was currently dragged to the side by Wei Xiao Bei"s disciples for questioning.
After all, they were not able to make Wei Xiao Bei bring them, thus they had been unable to wait.
Wei Xiao Bei thought for a moment, and let them be on their guard as he decided to head out again.
He had decided to enter the Dust World to check the situation.
Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to enter the Dust World through a hotel, but he never imagined that after various events, the management of Cui Hu City had become extremely strict.
Originally, a personal ID system had been strictly implemented and observed.
Hearing from the hotel reception desk that he would have to present his ID, he did not say anything and left the place.
He was not willing to leave any traces behind.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei simply went back to the old apartment street. He remembered that he still had an office there.
It was now almost the Chinese New Year. The work for the place had been temporarily stopped as the workers returned to their homes for celebration. Only a few workers were left to guard the site.
Hearing Wei Xiao Bei come over, the manager of the site quickly welcomed him.
The site manager clearly remembered this friend of Boss Zhou"s and naturally did not dare ignore him.
Wei Xiao Bei did not say much. After a bit of idle chat, he entered the office.
As for why Wei Xiao Bei came over when it was almost the New Year, the site manager did not dare ask.
After closing the doors of the office, Wei Xiao Bei took out a box of wine from under the bed and pulled the cork. He drank it all in one go, causing him to fall asleep quickly.
After waking up, Wei Xiao Bei activated [Reponse Search]. The ground around him was still dust, and the surroundings were still filled with small dust hills. There were no traces of life at all as even the black beetles had disappeared without a trace.
Wei Xiao Bei lightly stomped the ground, causing his body to jump up. He then landed on the ground with both feet, identified the right direction and moved in the direction of Tu Lang Village.
Tu Lang Village was the name of the village that had been invaded by the Zerglings.
In the real world, there was around a twenty kilometers distance from the apartment street to the village, but in the Dust World, that distance might just be shorter.
As he walked, only ruined buildings that made the place extremely desolate could be seen along his path.
Although Wei Xiao Bei was already used to the scenery of the Dust World, the monsters that appeared from time to time would still raise his spirits. The monsters that appeared were Zombies, Green Dwarfs, Fishmen, and even a few Treeman Saplings.
After noticing Wei Xiao Bei, the Zombies would naturally throw themselves at him. While the Green Dwarfs, Fishmen, and even the Treeman Saplings would distance themselves.
In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had already noticed this.
After becoming a normal 4-Star Creature, although it was not written in his status panel, he could still sense the faint aura of might that came out from his body.
Toward this kind of aura, Wei Xiao Bei guessed that it was let out due to the changes in his life essence.
Naturally, it was also possible that this was caused due to reaching a higher creature rank, or higher status, or even higher martial realm.
On the other hand, this kind of might was like a broadcasting tower that warned others that he was strong.
A normal human being would have a hard time sensing this, but the monsters of the Dust World were quite sharp at sensing this. After perceiving his might, they would not continue to stay in the same spot as they ran away.
It was like a dog having smelled the scent of a tiger.
In this path, nothing eventful happened. When he finally walked around fifteen kilometers, the scenery had gradually changed.
The originally desolate land and buildings became even more desolate. He could even see some bomb craters and some collapsed buildings.
Wei Xiao Bei frowned. Along the way, he could sense that he was approaching a fierce battlefield.
His [Early Warning] was telling him that danger lurked ahead.
However, the danger was unclear, making it harder for him to understand the level of danger.
In the end, after advancing for six kilometers, Wei Xiao Bei could hear the shouting noise in front of him.
This is the sound that the Zerglings make when entering battle!
Wei Xiao Bei immediately increased his alertness and changed to moving on all fours.
Soon, he reached the top floor of a building and activated his [Response Search] to see the battle occurring.
More than a hundred Zerglings were currently moving toward more than ten humans wielding strange rifles. These humans wore heavy armor and kept firing the rifle in their hands as the conical-shaped bullets tore the Zerglings to shreds.
In terms of fighting strength, these humans appeared stronger than the Zerglings.
However, because of the difference in numbers and some Hydralisks appearing among the Zergings, the humans had been forced to hold ground close to a building.
Among them, two white armored humans would spray something at their allies to heal the wounds from the needles. If it was not because of them, the humans would have been annihilated from the powerful force of the needles.
Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes and looked at one of the rifle-wielding humans and one of the healers.

It"s just as I had guessed.
The ones fighting the Zerglings below were the human soldiers in the StarCraft game.
Wei Xiao Bei did not quickly make his move and instead expanded his [Response Search] even further. After scanning in a three hundred-meter radius, he confirmed that there were no hidden enemies. Only then did he jump down from the building and land on the Hydralisks.
