Chapter 1551: Chapter 1552: The Best thod Within a Limited Ti
Whether or not he can walk through walls is no longer important; after all, the person has already co in. Who cares how he got in? There are countless bizarre props in the ga, so what’s strange about walking through a wall?
"What did he do?" the man with glasses imdiately grasped the key point.
Who knows?
The players in the command room were all slow to react. They didn’t even know how long they had been in the command room, let alone rember what he did. They barely recalled that he stood beside the translator, but that was useless as everyone in the command room had disappeared.
A flicker of anger flashed in the eyes of the man with glasses, and then he turned to the ground. Only after going up did he realize that the few players left above had already turned into corpses, and the high-ranking governnt officials who had been detained, like those in the command room, had all disappeared without a trace!
Soon afterward, news ca from the residential buildings over there; like here, everyone who had been detained was rescued without exception.
"Did they call for foreign aid?" one player asked.
"A bunch of trash!" the man with glasses cursed in a low voice.
This stirred up dissatisfaction among so players, and soone said, "Cai Bo, I’ve tolerated you long enough, acting all high and mighty. If you have the guts, find the people yourself!"
The man with glasses, Cai Bo, didn’t say much. Still simring with anger, his face clearly displayed the words "too contemptuous to argue with fools." Ignoring the provoked players, he turned around and left the small building.
Looking at it now, the purpose of that earlier explosion was probably to lure the people here away. In fact, the strongest group of players did indeed leave to gather information to avoid being caught unaware if a Super Player or top Rank-A Player approached.
The skilled ones who left had not yet returned, and the governnt personnel on this command room side had all been taken away, indicating a major change in the situation. These people actually thought that Zone 017 had called for foreign aid... It’s utterly ridiculous!
Of course, controlling the Capital Safe Zone’s combat base was just a strategy. Whether it would be beneficial is unknown. Their gains in Zone 017 were sowhat fortuitous, and they had already harvested not insignificant rewards, so the loss of control over the combat base was not unbearable. If one place doesn’t work out, they could just move on to another.
However, whether to leave depends on the specific circumstances.
Cai Bo moved outside the combat base, initially intending to check the battle situation outside. Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he t a pair of eyes from afar.
It was as if sothing clicked by his ear; Cai Bo stood frozen in place, unable to tear himself away from those eyes. After several struggles and surrenders, he involuntarily walked toward the eyes’ owner.
Also controlled were so players who had gone out to scout earlier. It was uncertain if those who weren’t there had escaped, but those remaining were like Cai Bo, with stiff limbs, headed toward a small viewing platform not far from the combat base.
On the viewpoint stood a short-haired woman in black clothes and pants. She flipped the pocket watch in her hand, and with each motion, the resistance of the controlled players lessened, their bodies beca more natural.
At least ten players were affected, including two Rank-A Players. Compared to their painful struggles, the woman seed much more relaxed, as if she were rely in the pavilion admiring her pocket watch.
However, when she turned the second hand to "6," she suddenly stopped and turned her head toward the combat base.
Xu Huo had already jumped down from the wall. He didn’t expect such timing; originally, using the "Little Mushroom Cloud" was just to divert the attention of Cai Bo and others. Who knew that group would encounter Dou Shengnan, who had just arrived nearby.
Dou Shengnan, a hypnotist from the Guile Sound Knights, had already demonstrated her prowess to Xu Huo back in Zone 014. Her impressive ntal Super Evolution, especially powerful for a Rank-A Player, left a morable scene in which people lined up to jump off a building, a quintessential example of progress from ntal interference to spiritual control.
Planning to avoid a direct confrontation with her, Xu Huo only took a brief look before turning away.
Bypassing the players dispersing from the command room, Xu Huo returned to the residential building to release so people.
Among them were Jin Zi’s family.
They had already learned about the encrypted information from the translator, and Jin Zi’s grandfather, the highest authority at the combat base, had imdiately seen through Xu Huo’s intentions.
"Do you have a grudge against that female player from the Guile Sound Knights?"
Not exactly a grudge, and Xu Huo’s target wasn’t Dou Shengnan. He just intended to mobilize the existing forces to help extract the woman in the black coat who ca to Zone 017 with Xue Lang, and while describing her features, he subtly added so misleading information. If anyone suspected Dou Shengnan, it had nothing to do with him.
If the Super Player kept dragging on the fight, the Super Props event in Zone 017 wouldn’t last long. It would end soon, and it would be challenging for him to find the people alone. Moreover, even though he escaped the battle between the Suitcase Man and Lawrence Lee, it didn’t an he was completely safe, so ti was tight. Whatever progress he made, he’d make the best of it.
Without answering Jin Zi’s grandfather directly, Xu Huo said, "Do you have sowhere to go?"
Everyone thought he would, like the previous players, extort props or valuables. Hearing this, they were surprised, "You’re letting us go?"
"I know Jin Zi; she helped
a little, so I’m giving her a little help in return." Xu Huo asked again, "Is any player coming to fetch you?"
Jin Zi’s mother’s eagerness was palpable, yet seeing her taciturn father-in-law and husband, she forced herself to suppress her emotions.
"As long as she is alive." After a mont, Jin Zi’s grandfather said this.
Without much persuasion, Xu Huo simply said, "It’s only a matter of ti before Zone 017 becos a Mutant Breeding Zone. One of the spreading alien viruses here can cause rapid regression. Accelerated death is not a problem, but if you lose your reason and attack others, your persistence will be aningless."
As the country’s top leaders, not fleeing before their country and people is a testant to responsibility and solidarity. Xu Huo respected and admired them and wouldn’t interfere further.
At that point, soone began to cry. They could have left long ago, but forget nationwide, even in the Capital Safe Zone, how could they possibly abandon so many people to escape alone?
When death stared them in the face, their survival instinct made them suffer intensely.
Because if they didn’t want to fall into a situation where they’d be wantonly humiliated and killed by players from other zones, or after a long survival ordeal, end up becoming aliens, the best way was to end it themselves.
Faced with threats, anger could perhaps overco fear, but when holding life and death in one’s own hands, it’s far harder to muster the determination and courage to forge ahead fearlessly.
