Chapter 2158: Chapter 2158: Blocking Dou Shengnan

The disappearance of the blockade barrier simulated outside the ga grounds ant that props could be used again. Even before the mbers of Spring Thunder realized the barrier had vanished, Dou Shengnan had already taken action, as if she had foreseen when it would disappear. As the passive defense prop was destroyed, the lives of the Spring Thunder mbers were also lost.

Curiously, Dou Shengnan did not leave, nor did she attempt to break out of the encirclent; instead, she returned to the hotel.

She openly provoked the Lichuan Municipal Governnt and Military District, giving the Law Enforcent Team a reason to intervene. However, as their personnel headed towards the hotel, several miniature devices suddenly flew out from within it. These devices circled the hotel, projecting holographic images into the air.

It was a short film, presumably shot for propaganda purposes, depicting a family—husband and wife preparing dinner while five children frolicked around, their laughter echoing over the city.

Judging by the item logos that appeared in the projection, this propaganda represented Zone 008, implying that anyone able to leave the country must be a relatively important political figure from Zone 008. Hence, upon seeing the projected figures in the sky, the Law Enforcent Team imdiately halted their actions, even ordering the Spring Thunder mbers to withdraw.

anwhile, a liaison from the Military District also swiftly left, perhaps to verify the situation.

What is this? Hostage?

Are the ordinary people of Lichuan City not significant enough, so they replace them with heavyweight figures?

They don’t even need to physically capture people; an ambiguous video would suffice.

It’s unclear what deal the Guile Sound Knights have with the Tian Family that Dou Shengnan refuses to leave even now.

Xu Huo doubled back to regroup with Nie Xuan and the others.

Clearly, Nie Xuan and his team also sensed this. White Eagle proposed monitoring the player accompanying Dou Shengnan, who, despite being rely a Rank-B player, disappeared without a trace, likely heading to the Tian Family since Dou Shengnan was diverting Zone 008’s attention here.

"There’s no rush in this matter," Xu Huo said. "The Military District and Lichuan Municipal Governnt are more convenient for conducting investigations. Dou Shengnan’s stubborn presence implies that the Tian Family wouldn’t finalize this deal imdiately, assuming they still have their wits about them."

"If the Military District and the Municipal Governnt step in, the Tian Family might back out. However, regardless of whether they do or not, it won’t be difficult for Dou Shengnan to leave," Nie Xuan said. "The barrier being breached earlier was likely due to Dou Shengnan’s handiwork."

Xu Huo nodded in agreent, "Her Spirit Evolution is far stronger than I anticipated."

Yet it’s only been half an hour since their arrival in Lichuan City, with more than five hours until nine at night. The situation could change minute by minute, making it practically impossible to sustain until then.

"It seems the plan this ti is dood to failure," Nie Xuan said.

Xu Huo’s expression grew grave. With the power imbalance, they needed external factors to aid them, and finding a better opportunity than today would be challenging in the short term.

Delaying until nine o’clock seed increasingly unlikely, yet complications suddenly arose. The Spring Thunder mbers evacuated the hotel upon receiving orders, and the surrounding Law Enforcent Team also retreated. In their place, a team of Military District players entered the city center. The city also sounded alarms as citizens, who had succumbed to potions earlier, were awakened by another dose and rapidly moved away from the city center.

Players from the Outer Zone were driven away by the Law Enforcent Team.

Dou Shengnan showed no intention to leave, prompting Lichuan City to scatter everyone before resetting the blockade barrier. The newly appeared semi-transparent barrier cut off the view between inside and outside. Before it fully closed, Xu Huo noticed a woman in a red trench coat flying through the air towards the hotel.

Besides the ga-ground simulation devices’ barrier, several more blockade barriers appeared inside, followed by low, muffled explosions. Presumably due to the barrier’s enclosure, the sound wasn’t loud, yet the entire city trembled continuously, sparking imaginaries of the situation inside.

To avoid the impact, the Municipal Governnt had already initiated the city’s complete evacuation. The teleportation gates outside the barrier remained stable, and after opening several fixed passageways, ordinary citizens could queue to depart.

However, certain areas weren’t involved in the evacuation temporarily: governnt-controlled laboratories and factories, city hall workers and detainees, and the Law Enforcent Team’s rest spots responsible for city security. Ordinary people evacuated first, followed by governnt workers. Other player organizations or clans had their own channels, and a citywide mandatory evacuation wasn’t in place, so the governnt didn’t interfere with their decisions to leave.

About twenty minutes later, after another black fog tree appeared and extended its black smoke to the edge of the blockade barrier, breaking through several layers of barriers, it drifted further away.

At that mont, Dou Shengnan’s Psychic Power began to spread wildly in all directions, instantly affecting all players still in the city to so extent. Those with weaker ntal strength imdiately turned pale and broke into a sweat.

Dou Shengnan was about to flee!

But she wasn’t heading to another zone.

In a flash, Xu Huo expanded his Spiritual World to a thousand-ter radius, simultaneously summoning his childhood persona from the library tower.

The childhood persona existed in his Spiritual World as a black shadow. After reconciliation at Rose Castle last ti, it took on a form but wasn’t needed now. Maintaining its shadow form, it continuously manifested Psychic Power, creating a newly ford thin blade-like strip spanning a hundred ters, slicing into the sky and successfully halting Dou Shengnan briefly.

Dou Shengnan’s figure abruptly appeared at the thin blade’s slash. The next second, she turned towards Xu Huo’s location—locked in a gaze, Xu Huo felt engulfed by a vast ocean of Psychic Power, unable to divert his attention!

"Kitty Grants You Three Lives" triggered automatically, causing him to stumble backward. But just like when he faced Zheng Yuci, her speed was swift enough to handle any unexpected situation. As he fell, Dou Shengnan’s manifested sharp blade altered its course, thrusting upward, while she personally sealed Xu Huo’s escape with over ten props and reached towards his heart amid the lead of attack props!

"Hostage exchange!" A female voice echoed from afar. The next second, Xu Huo was transported away, replaced by the woman in the red trench coat from the Military District, lying in mid-air in the sa position.
