1153: Chapter 1153: Standing Tall at the Special Defense Departnt
The person finished speaking and continued to look at Xu Huo with resentnt, as if his words had struck a chord with the Special Defense Departnt and those players who depended on it, hitting right at the heart of a dirty, iron-clad reality!
“I see it now.” Xu Huo, elbows on his knees, hands interlocked under his chin, said, “You don’t just seem unintelligent; you truly are unintelligent.”
“Sacrificing hundreds, perhaps thousands of lives to unearth a player of slightly better quality?”
“If Zone 014 continued to develop for another ten years, the situation you’re describing might occur, but now, it’s absolutely impossible.”
Even the Special Defense Departnt is hastily adapting, and even if so people with ulterior motives wanted to do sothing, it couldn’t possibly take shape in such a short ti.
“A couple of videos and a few ambiguous testimonies were enough to lead you to such far-fetched conclusions?”
“Are you suggesting all the evidence is fake?” the man said furiously: “You’ve taken benefits from the Special Defense Departnt, of course, you would speak for them!”
“If you’re going to argue, then argue properly.
No need for personal attacks.” Xu Huo interrupted him calmly and said: “The video your sister took in her mont of despair is real, but according to her description, she started to experience confusion in her consciousness after beginning her evolution.
She wasn’t very clear about the outside world.
Not to ntion the improbability of tossing her phone to a researcher without being noticed, even if true, the information she got might not be accurate.”
“In this era of advanced networks, are you really not aware of the power of suggestion?”
“How about this,” he paused, “if you can produce conclusive evidence, I might let you go just this once.”
“Ridiculous!” the other said: “If we were afraid of dying, we wouldn’t have co here!”
“You’re just looking for a mont of satisfaction.
It seems you don’t want the truth to co out either, so go ahead and die.” Xu Huo stood up, ready to end the conversation.
“Wait!” the man beside him struggled hard and said, “If you don’t believe it, confront the Special Defense Departnt players living here face-to-face.
Many of them have significant family backgrounds and are most likely to know the truth!”
“Do you have any specific nas?” Xu Huo said.
The nine people lying on the ground seed to be racking their brains but couldn’t co up with a single definite na.
At that mont, two figures ca down from upstairs, Bian Ling and a male Player wearing a black mask.
“Mr.
Xu, don’t listen to their nonsense.” Bian Ling stepped forward and said, “The headquarters just sent a ssage two minutes ago.
These people are backed by a recently erged cult, and our people have already been dispatched to suppress it.”
“I knew you Special Defense Departnt would try to pin labels on us.
What cult, if not just a thod to eliminate dissent!” the masked Player spoke with mockery and hatred, “I’m not afraid to die, I just can’t stand to see Country X controlled by people like you…”
Before he could finish, his throat was seized by the black mask using a Prop; his face turned blue with bulging veins and rolling eyes, about to lose breath.
anwhile, the masked figure standing beside was knocked flying by a force!
“As expected from an elite of the Special Defense Departnt, quick to react.” Xu Huo glanced back at the black mask, who had used the walls to spring back to Bian Ling’s side, and said indifferently.
“Mr.
Xu, what do you an by this?” Bian Ling asked without changing her expression.
“About that, I have a question too.” Xu Huo gestured toward the people on the ground with his chin, “Daring to kill in front of outsiders, has the Special Defense Departnt truly beco lawless?”
The enraged black mask moved to step forward but was held back by Bian Ling’s hand.
She smiled and said, “Joining a cult, creating trouble, infiltrating the Safe Zone, taking hostages and killing civilians, these offenses are sufficient for the death penalty.”
“Mr.
Xu might want to consider, if we hadn’t stopped them today, how many people in the residential area would have died?”
“Our players risk their lives in the ga for the peace of the whole Country X.
Should we just let these people ruthlessly kill their family mbers?”
“That would truly dishearten the players!”
She paused, then softened her tone, “Moreover, Mr.
Xu has close ties with the Special Defense Departnt, so you’re not an outsider.”
“Are you really willing to believe these desperadoes?”
From Bian Ling’s attitude, it was clear that the Special Defense Departnt nowadays was not what it used to be.
The ergence of a large number of players and the leveling up of elites not only gave them strength but also bolstered their confidence.
The current Special Defense Departnt could no longer be challenged by just one or two players.
Xu Huo paid no attention to Bian Ling’s coercive words, instead asking another question, “Is it true that soone inside the Special Defense Departnt deliberately leaked the resource transport routes to civilian players?”
Bian Ling did not answer.
But Xu Huo already knew the answer.
“So, is it true that so are conducting player selection and forcibly evolving ordinary people?”
“Is this an open secret within the Special Defense Departnt?
The result of factional struggle?
Or is soone privately selecting players in this way?”
Without waiting for Bian Ling to respond to these consecutive questions, he spoke as if talking to himself, but his eyes never once left her face, his undemanding focus sending chills through Bian Ling, compelling her to interrupt his inquiries, “What are you trying to say, exactly?”
“I’ve already got the answers to my questions.” Xu Huo took out his phone and dialed Minister Fan’s number.
Bian Ling attempted to step forward to stop him, only to find herself blocked by an invisible wall.
“Spatial Artifact!” the black mask said, warningly.
Both of them took out Props to attack, but the barrier remained unchallenged.
Realizing that the level of the Prop might be quite high, Bian Ling’s expression darkened, and she imdiately signaled the black mask to retreat.
However, as they turned around, they were faced with the sa wall, not only in front and back but also to the left, right, above and below — they had no place to escape!
Only then did Bian Ling look towards the man outside in fear.
Xu Huo, slightly lacking attention to the others, waited as Minister Fan picked up the call.
“Apologies for the interruption amid your busy schedule,” he said politely: “I’ve caught a few players here in the neighborhood.
There’s an audio recording I’d like you to listen to.”
After replaying the earlier video, he asked: “I’ve already learned from the Special Defense Departnt mbers that this matter truly exists, and the headquarters must also be aware of it.
The purpose of my call is just to ask, how do you plan to deal with these people?”
It was destined to be a sleepless night for the Special Defense Departnt, what with the whistleblowing call leading to a manhunt, the need for reinforcent in the key safe area following an attack, and the destruction of two cult hideouts…
These two incidents had already kept them busy enough, yet now Xu Huo had dropped a bombshell.
After a long silence, Minister Fan replied, tiredly, “What do you think would be the best way to handle this?”
This was not a genuine solicitation of advice, but a reminder to Xu Huo not to overstep.
Xu Huo didn’t find anything wrong with the change in attitude of the Special Defense Departnt — after all, strength ans everything.
“Do you rember the incident in the Safe Zone of Country Y?”
