Chapter 1628: Chapter 1628: Giving It a Try Is Fine Too
Tong Qi was startled, then relaxed when he heard the voice, and whispered, “You finally woke up. I don’t know what’s going on; when I opened my eyes, it was like this, and we lost about seven or eight people. The monitors are all gone. I don’t know if they were killed or just disappeared.”
The poison gas didn’t have much effect on players wearing protective gear. Besides, to guard against toxins in the city, players inject a few doses of antitoxin every day. As long as it’s not so rare poison, it shouldn’t be a big deal; at least it won’t be fatal in the short term.
However, so people were still knocked out because they took off their protective gear during the day and never put it back on.
Xu Huo glanced around the entire mall; apart from the eight people Tong Qi ntioned, all the other players were still there. No one who left during the day had returned. However, Scarred Glasses and Young Master Mo, who should have been asleep in the Prop area, were missing.
There was no trace of them around.
Because of the perating poison gas, the visibility in the mall was poor. Nevertheless, Xu Huo woke up just in ti; while he was talking, there were players sneaking in from outside.
Xu Huo suddenly awoke from a dream after less than two hours of sleep. There was still so ti before dawn. His previous sleep durations were always long. These people probably planned their timing well, figuring out a way to lure away the only Rank-B player, Scarred Glasses, before making their move.
If they could lure Scarred Glasses away, they must have done sothing to Young Master Mo.
As for the other six people, who knows if they left with Scarred Glasses or were taken away.
Regardless of the reason, there was no way he could let them kill everyone left.
He walked out of the mall and brought all four players coming from different directions in front of him. After saying, “Please Sit,” he simply broke their legs and stood in front of them, saying, “Coming over in the middle of the night, you weren’t here to tuck people in, were you?”
The four of them were terrified, not expecting Xu Huo to still be awake. They imdiately looked regretful, and one of them said, “Don’t kill us, I can tell you the clues to clear the ga!”
The other three were even more surprised than Xu Huo.
“Really? If you can actually tell
the clues to clear the ga, I might consider letting you go, but your companions…” Xu Huo deliberately left the latter part of the sentence hanging.
“I don’t know them!” the player imdiately said. “I only look out for myself!”
“Don’t believe him, he stayed with us the whole ti, there’s no way he knows the clues!” said the player next to him. “If he knew how to clear the ga, why would he co here with us?”
“I’m not a ticket player, it doesn’t matter to
whether I clear it or not; survival is all that counts. Besides, coming to the mall doesn’t conflict with clearing the ga. Who doesn’t want to make a quick fortune!” The first player explained matter-of-factly and said to Xu Huo that he would only tell him.
Xu Huo used the Muffler Artefact and signaled for him to continue.
However, the other party gestured for him to co closer.
Xu Huo didn’t move and said, “If you think you can stall until the characteristic ti runs out or pull so other trick, I advise you not to. Even if you manage to get up from this chair, you can’t escape.”
The player had no choice but to say, “Actually, there are other players in the city who haven’t co by. I ran into them by accident two days ago. Initially, there were two, but today I only saw one, and he went to the toxic edge of the city to forage for toxic fungi.”
“Normal people wouldn’t eat toxins for no reason; undoubtedly, his companions have entered another space. Many people on our side have disappeared too, but no one trusts each other. Even if another space lets you clear the ga, they definitely won’t inform others, only to absolutely trustworthy friends or family will the ssage be passed on!”
“Didn’t you say the ga background ntioned that soone on the brink of death saw ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’? Maybe that’s really the key? Besides, those who disappeared earlier were all in a disturbed ntal state before they vanished. It’s worth a try!”
The idea was reasonable, but it didn’t apply to Xu Huo.
Firstly, due to his degree of Spirit Evolution, he wouldn’t beco as exhausted as other players so quickly, even with increased sleep.
Secondly, even if he ate the toxins here, it might not bring him to a ‘near-death’ state. Moreover, not everyone in a near-death state enters another space; so die directly, and no one knows the exact threshold.
The only good news is that dying in this instance is highly unlikely for him; he’s more likely than anyone to last until the instance ti ends and leave calmly.
“You could try.” Xu Huo said straightforwardly, handing him a vial of poison just as the man’s expression began to relax, “If a near-death state really lets you enter another space, you might succeed and see ‘Galaxy,’ and you naturally won’t die.”
“But if ‘Galaxy’ can’t save you, or you can’t find it at all, rember to send
a ssage to let
know you’re safe.”
“Even if we’re not sure if another space can connect with the ga section, this will confirm if your theory is valid. Excited?”
The man opened his mouth wide, his expression shifting from anger to hatred, then to tolerance and regret. In the end, he didn’t curse but managed to say before the poison kicked in, “At that ti, I’ll issue a bounty on the ga platform under the na of ‘Midsumr Night’s Galaxy’!”
Xu Huo nodded with satisfaction, pulling a chair to sit beside him.
At that point, the characteristic ti for the four n had passed. The Spatial Teleportation Device didn’t work, and they were blocked by the Space Ray Barrier, unable to stand with broken legs. They could only sit stiffly in place.
Xu Huo’s poison was faster acting than the toxins here. In no ti, the man’s face was covered with black veins, and his mouth and eye whites turned black and gray as he started convulsing. He could still move himself, madly injecting antitoxin when he couldn’t endure the poison’s effects, and nobody stopped him, but his condition worsened slowly, and he ultimately lay on the ground struggling to breathe, watching his life slip away.
He reached his hand out to Xu Huo, “An… antitoxin… I can give… all my props to you…”
Xu Huo looked at him without changing expression or movent.
Half a minute later, the man breathed his last.
“What a pity,” Xu Huo said flatly, then turned his gaze to the other three people, administering poison similarly, saying, “Relax, this ti, I reduced the dose, so you won’t suffer as much as he did, and you won’t die as quickly.”
“You son of a bitch!” one of them swore, using a prop to break the Space Ray Barrier, instantly teleporting behind Xu Huo. First, they used characteristics to restrict his movent range, then slashed horizontally at his neck with a blade.
