Chapter 1496: Chapter 1497: Settlent
The hall was filled with constant noise, as so players attempted to leave their seats but were forcibly locked in place—the "Please Sit" characteristic hadn’t expired yet. But at this mont, whether there was a characteristic restriction or not was irrelevant, because those with broken legs dared not enter the station casually.
"If you want to enter the ga, you can leave now," Xu Huo reminded.
"What exactly do you want to do!" soone shouted angrily, "This is a matter of Zone 026, what does it have to do with you?!"
"It’s not up to you," Xu Huo leaned back in his chair, a ledger appeared in his hand, and he read out the first na on it, "Zhou Yong."
Below, there was certainly no response. His sharp gaze swept to the boss of the Underground Palace, who collapsed weakly in front.
The boss swallowed hard, sweat dripping like beans onto the floor. He feared the players of Bai City, but feared Xu Huo even more. Without struggling for long, he pointed at a man in a jacket seated in the back row, "It’s him!"
Seeing the boss betray him without hesitation, the jacketed man Zhou Yong, who had previously warned him with glances many tis, was filled with rage. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, he would’ve killed the boss to vent his anger, but facing Xu Huo, he had no choice but to flee!
With the Spatial Teleportation Device unusable and two legs injured, even if he relied on props for movent, he couldn’t get far. Moreover, his reaction and speed were lacking.
Moving barely three ters, Zhou Yong’s head rolled onto the ground.
When the corpse hit the ground, nearby players confird they saw a thin bloodstained line flash through the air, likely of the sa kind used earlier to sever the legs of everyone in the Hawk Organization—a realization dawned on them that Xu Huo had long since arranged the prop around them, and worse was that this invisible prop could be repeatedly used, even without him having to make a move!
The players who originally wanted to escape cald down. They couldn’t see the props laid out in the hall and weren’t sure if they could dodge Xu Huo’s attack when acting. Fortunately, the opponent was currently only causing trouble for the Hawk Organization.
Of course, so guilty individuals quietly incited companions and sought opportunities to flee.
Above, Xu Huo had already started reading nas again. He’d read out a na, have it confird by the Underground Palace boss, and then one head fell after another.
In just two minutes, aside from the two who ventured into the station, twenty mbers of the Hawk Organization were killed.
These were all individuals directly involved in transactions within the Hawk Organization and had transaction details.
"Is that all?" Xu Huo looked at the boss.
The boss nodded hurriedly, "The players who’ve handled things are all in the ledger, I don’t know if others are aware..."
"Killing everyone who knows is quite unreasonable," Xu Huo remarked blandly, but in the next mont, he killed the white-haired old man along with the four players seated beside him.
This sudden and utterly reasonless killing startled everyone in the hall, especially the mbers of the Hawk Organization, who were petrified, fearing they’d be the next to die.
"I was never involved in human trafficking!" soone defended themselves, "Is there also sothing wrong with staying uninvolved?"
Xu Huo raised his hand to signal them to be calm, "Nearly a third of a Player Organization are participants, the managers surely know about it, knowing without restraint indicates they’re just as culpable, deserving death."
"As for the rest, you can decide on a new leader yourselves."
After saying this, he glanced at the boss again, whose plump body shivered, hastily pointed out a few players in the hall, seated in different places, not entirely from the sa Player forces.
These individuals thought they could escape by luck, but unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn. Worried Xu Huo would repeat his trick, they urgently tried to exit into the ga, but couldn’t open their personal panels!
Unable to access the personal panels, they couldn’t retrieve their tickets, shocked before they could voice complaints, they were dealt with.
Except for two people, their imdiate reaction was to defend themselves, claiming they had no knowledge of human trafficking, accusing the boss of falsely framing them due to a grudge.
"I didn’t do it, absolutely didn’t..." The boss shook his head like a rattle, but before he finished speaking, he saw a player’s head fly off, and before he could relax his expression, he was the next to lose his head.
Xu Huo offered no explanation, though the player pointed out by the boss survived, while the boss did not. The truth was evident—naturally, others had no capacity to judge Xu Huo’s right or wrong, even if he killed everyone, leaving one alive showed he had so reason.
Here, Xu Huo had mostly handled his affairs, lifting the Spiritual World, he stood up and said, "I need soone familiar with the Central City."
A few minutes later, a player walked out from the hall, precisely the one Xu Huo spared earlier, who crawled to the tower next to the hall, addressing the person with their back turned, "What do you intend for Central City?"
Xu Huo held the map from the luggage compartnt of the slain player, with so size and specification discrepancies, but roughly consistent in direction, marking the location of Central City.
He was mainly concerned about the water source situation in Central City.
The player truthfully relayed what they knew.
Central City indeed controlled the entire water source of Cluster 01. The location of Gathering Zone 01 wasn’t good, lacking nearby accumulated surface water—it’s said so small depressions exist near other gathering zones, but not here, and the underground river runs very deep, only Central City penetrated the underground layers and supplied water to other cities.
Each city’s water usage had a limit, basically only ensuring tight water consumption for everyone. Bai City once proposed paying extra for more water, but Central City didn’t agree.
According to information Bai City learned, a Rank-B player resides in Central City, along with quite a few Rank-C players, with the most players, strongest power, once a city attempted to seize the water source but was wiped off the map overnight.
"Central City is very dangerous," the player added, a Rank-B player residing there was reason enough for other cities to retreat and willingly accept suppression.
"No one has seen that Rank-B player?" Xu Huo asked.
"Dealing with ordinary players doesn’t require a Rank-B player to appear," the person replied, even among Rank-C players strength varied greatly, as evidenced by them. There were Rank-C players in the Hawk Organization too, but couldn’t stir up waves in the hall. He didn’t believe these people hadn’t tried to resist; surely props and characteristics had failed, leaving them to await death.
