959: Chapter 959: A City on the Edge of Death

Duck Tongue Cap didn’t imdiately take people to Pillar No.

06, instead, he arranged another squad to go there, while he continued to lead his group to inspect the area near the laboratory.

The blockade around the laboratory area was increased to four layers when Duck Tongue Cap entered the R1 Laboratory.

This was not only to block Xu Huo but also to deal with the riots caused by the virus outbreak.

Not only governnt personnel were on Canopy Pillar but also their families and so people who had made significant contributions to W37, such as the relatives of sacrificed players.

Hence, the number of ordinary people was still huge.

Chaos erupted in Base W37 City beneath the Canopy Pillar, and those above were also unstable, especially when so tried to climb up to the Canopy Pillar using the elevators, causing so to rush toward the governnt building or the blockade area—players represented safety at this mont!

The SE virus had many ways of spreading.

For both, the people trying to climb the Canopy Pillar and those seeking shelter from players, the effect was generally the sa.

Infection was just a matter of ti unless W37 Organization got all the players to start multiple blockades of the infected areas and evacuate residents.

However, the base governnt did not do so.

The Law Enforcent Team had increased the number of patrols half a month ago, and now, those mostly conducting ergency rescues and blocking certain areas were these sa people, while the number of players near the laboratory was increasing.

Compared to virus transmission, the base governnt seed keener on capturing Xu Huo, the player who openly challenged them.

Xu Huo had already descended from the Canopy Pillar and was on his way to Bird Tower when he saw a squad of the Law Enforcent Team players running towards a Canopy Pillar, where nurous buildings floated and a person dressed in a clown outfit was flying freely—an opportune arrival.

Zhu Feiyun seed to sense sothing and suddenly looked up in his direction, locking eyes with Xu Huo, who had changed his face again.

Both of their expressions subtly changed.

Zhu Feiyun hadn’t expected Xu Huo to be so ruthless as to fra him, while Xu Huo was surprised that he had used a tracking prop on him.

After a very brief mont of eye contact, Xu Huo was the first to look away.

“Help…

Save …” Under the deadly virus, not far from the quarantine zone, many people had already started showing symptoms.

These individuals had been preemptively blocked by players of the Law Enforcent Team inside buildings or on the streets, but the living still wanted to stay alive.

Those who were infected resorted to self-help asures, including demolishing buildings to break through, albeit ordinary people’s thods were limited, and desperation often led to outcos they couldn’t endure.

Xu Huo had already observed at least five small explosions.

Player blockades weren’t breached, but rather, many of the infected were injured by the blasts, and their cries and screams for help were from such people.

At this point, even if the Law Enforcent Team wanted to conduct rescues, there was no way to begin.

But the inability to do much and the stringent blockades had completely shattered the previously harmonious state between players and ordinary people.

The attitudes of the residents of W37, who felt abandoned and trapped, underwent a rapid change, with angry demands heard everywhere.

However, most people still harbored hopes for the base governnt, so their accusations were mixed with pleas.

The players of the Law Enforcent Team were equally helpless in this situation.

Watching fellow citizens gradually die in front of them troubled anyone’s conscience, especially since there were many children among the numbers—children succumbed to the sickness even quicker than adults.

“It’s all the fault of those players from other areas!”

The virus couldn’t have appeared in W37 for no reason, and W37’s players wouldn’t do such a thing, so it must have been players from other areas.

Thus, so of the Law Enforcent Team players started capturing these external area players instead of just blocking the infected.

Although most of the players from other areas were not involved, there were plenty who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.

Hence, the three sides acted from their own standpoints, making the scene even more chaotic.

Looking at the thick smoke rising not far away made it hard to reconcile this scene with W37 during the day.

A city teetering on the brink of death, where any semblance of order was an empty platitude.

Xu Huo had arrived near Bird Tower.

Originally constructed as a watchtower, political shifts and the developnt of W37 had gradually turned the area into a rundown old district in need of renovation.

From the outside, the not-so-sturdy Bird Tower appeared to have transford into a hazardous building, the lock on the door already showing signs of rust.

People inside Bird Tower were cut off from the outside world, thus he couldn’t imdiately determine the exact number of people inside the tower, so he contacted Shangguan Xi.

“Teacher Ai and Xiong Qing are already inside,” Shangguan Xi stated bluntly, “I’m right in front of the main entrance…”

He was only halfway through speaking when a figure suddenly appeared before him, startling Shangguan Xi, who relaxed only after recognizing the person.

Putting away his communicator, Xu Huo asked, “How long have they been inside?”

“About five minutes,” Shangguan Xi checked the ti and added with a hint of confusion, “I don’t believe those two could last that long in the tower.

Once their presence was detected by my companions and Pan Qiao, the other party used a prop to seal the tower.

Ordinary surveillance props are useless, what could they possibly be doing?”

“How can you be sure they aren’t dead?” Xu Huo cut straight to the point.

“Pan Qiao is watching from the other side,” explained Shangguan Xi.

“He saw Teacher Ai show his face once from a fifth-floor window.”

Xu Huo then contacted Pan Qiao, who said, “I suspect they know each other.

Just now, when Xiong Qing and Teacher Ai climbed through the window, the people inside didn’t stop them.

Teacher Ai wasn’t attacked when heading upstairs, but Xiong Qing is gone.”

He paused before adding, “Where is Kuang Wenjun now?”

“On the Canopy Pillar,” Xu Huo responded.

“We can et up with her later.”

Xu Huo wasn’t actually oblivious to Kuang Wenjun’s situation, and he wasn’t lying—after all, the base governnt wouldn’t kill her at this ti.

Using a prop binoculars, he observed Bird Tower for a while, then extended his hand towards Shangguan Xi.

Imdiately understanding his intention, Shangguan Xi took off the “Shared Positioning” and handed it back to him.

Xu Huo put on the glasses again and said, “I’m going to check out Bird Tower, keep an eye on the movents of the people inside.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he donned the Invisibility Cloak and ascended to the sky.

“Gentleman’s Stance” was effective within a hundred ters, and he rose to a level even with the top floor of Bird Tower and looked inside through a window.

The prop magnified the details of the latticed iron window, and the first thing to catch his eye was a curved surface engraved with complex patterns.

The tal patterns, exuding a mysterious power, involuntarily drew his gaze…

Xu Huo removed the binoculars for a brief pause, then looked again.

It wasn’t his imagination—the patterns had ntal interference capabilities, the more one focused, the more enticing they beca.

However, from the outside, he couldn’t see the full view of the curved surface.

He leaned out of the window and used the “Eye of the Deceased” to break through the iron window, then vaulted inside—the tower’s occupants seed to place no restrictions on outsiders entering, thereby setting no barriers outside.
