1278: Chapter 1279: The Danger Behind Prosperity
Relying on his body’s super evolution, the strong man didn’t think about amputating the poisoned part after realizing he was poisoned.
Instead, he forcibly squeezed the toxin from the wound.
However, this was Yuguo’s severed hand’s super bacteria, and later Xu Huo mixed in several toxins that could coexist with it, creating the current Rank-A contaminant with high reproductive capacity and difficult to resolve.
Therefore, when he first chose to keep his foot, he was already half-dead.
The toxin rapidly eroded his body, manifesting on the skin as bluish-black swollen veins, quickly covering his legs and arms and extending towards his neck and face.
He wanted to take the antitoxin, but Xu Huo didn’t give him the chance.
During the fight, the secant line set in the underground tunnel tightened in an instant, breaking through three defensive barriers and firmly trapping the strong man—he also had a layer of defense props, equally advanced, and the secant line couldn’t successfully break through.
But this was enough.
Xu Huo reached out to open the door, moved in front of the strong player, separated them with a spatial barrier, then combined psyche force materialization and spatial ray blade with “Death of the Holder,” double super evolution power and prop triple overlay, ensuring a one-hit kill!
The strong man seed unable to escape, yet the next second, the triple fatal move crossed paths in the air—he vanished from the spot!
The tightened secant line fell through, spatial ray blades crossing to stab together, and the psyche force materialization passed through the space quickly turning into a puddle of black liquid.
It seed to be like a shadow falling into the ground’s silhouette, Xu Huo raised his hand to catch the passing prop tal bead, released the spiritual world, opened the door, and left the underground tunnel without hesitation.
The strong player entered the station, might soon return to Fresh Flower City, or contact the district governnt directly via communication prop, so Xu Huo didn’t linger in the underground tunnel and returned to the surface.
However, the surface was not that calm either; the conflict near Eternal Star Hotel seed to have spread throughout the city, so players already scattered in various parts of the city or fleeing from Eternal Star Hotel began looting rampantly.
Explosions and flas sprouted like mushrooms after rain, appearing one after another, with ordinary citizens’ cries and wails occasionally mixed with certain players’ arrogant laughter.
The players under Fresh Flower City Governnt promptly responded, swiftly approaching various accident sites.
Only a trigger is needed for a super city to fall into chaos in a very short ti.
Xu Huo bypassed the already damaged city center and arrived outside the direct-controlled district.
The direct-controlled district typically doesn’t allow ordinary citizens to enter and contains many players.
Any minor incidents quickly disappeared, ergency asures were comprehensive, and the entire area was swiftly sealed off, prohibiting entry and exit.
Xu Huo crouched atop a distant building, watching a row of large-scale instrunts rising from the ground, ntally reviewing their effects.
Outside is the detection instrunt, capable of covering fifty ters in length, protecting against players wearing invisibility props or using other ans to bypass surveillance and approach.
The second row is the space-ti prop restriction equipnt.
The inhabitants of the direct-controlled district are evidently not short on money, equipped with interference devices targeting Rank-A and below space-ti props; within this area, most space-ti props will lose effect or have diminished effects.
The innermost row is the defensive barrier, large-scale defense machinery simultaneously releasing dozens of rhombus-shaped machines.
These machines are evenly arranged at intervals in the air, three-ter small barriers released automatically piecing together, forming a semi-circular defensive barrier directly covering the entire direct-controlled district.
Additionally, both inside and outside are guarded by players; players not in the supply zone are ignored even if discovered, similarly displaying no response to ordinary citizens in dire straits just ters away, let alone rescue.
Such tight defenses make approaching challenging, and breaching even more so.
Outer district players could previously enter the direct-controlled district, but now it seems it’ll be sealed off for a short ti, entering is impossible.
Xu Huo didn’t proceed further, sitting down to rest, and opened the collection of information terminal to check the latest news.
There’s never a shortage of people eager for excitent, Fresh Flower City is no exception; ultimately, only a few are in danger while more people hide in safety transmitting event information from varied perspectives.
Soone used a flying device to photograph the situation at Eternal Star Hotel; the building, though bombed and burned, still retained its outer walls fairly well, players instead left so marks on it, the building hadn’t been demolished yet.
Records showed a fleeting glimpse of the sword-wielding player’s figure.
Fresh Flower City’s collection of information terminal hasn’t been blocked, District 001’s information is interactive, amidst the plethora of erging ssages Xu Huo saw reports of Card City being attacked.
It’s a report, not unofficial rumors like in Fresh Flower City, indicating the Card City attack has concluded.
Xu Huo watched several holographic projections; the target was the Card City governnt, the building area reduced to rubble, yet governnt-owned buildings nearby weren’t affected by the widespread chaos like Fresh Flower City.
Consequently, ordinary people were barely impacted, and outer district players didn’t join the fray.
Reports stated several outer district players directly stord the governnt building, stealing of a batch of advanced instrunts recently ordered by the governnt, including two spatial transmission devices capable of directly crossing districts and three experintal materials.
Instrunt losses were rely monetary, but the experintal materials were specifically addressed in the governnt report, stating they’re extrely dangerous species, not only fierce and bloodthirsty but also carry contamination.
Citizens are reminded to constantly watch their surroundings.
If similar plants or animals or seemingly dangerous items are found, they’re urged to report to the governnt, as these could be derivatives of the experintal materials.
The advantage of advanced technology is that nowhere is safe from detection, no matter how swift the movents, there’s always an angle capturing people.
Xu Huo easily recognized Xue Lang among those in protective suits; it’s his cutting of the governnt building, if not stopped by a companion, he would’ve extended further.
“…The coexistence of technological developnt and player evolution brings prosperity accompanied by great danger; technology, wealth, players, evolution—all can beco targets for outside looters…”
For District 001 such attacks occur frequently, differing only in scale; attacks like the swift and purposeful Card City one essentially end in half an hour, and within another half hour governnt players complete aftermath and summary, unconcerning residents.
Fresh Flower City’s, however, take longer, yet with many players controlling the situation, it’ll likely end soon.
Everyone becos accustod to it; dying is considered bad luck.
