Chapter 2296: Chapter 2296: Poisonous Sches and Bargaining Chips
The player inford him that the spatial gaps in the rules function similarly to cross-space teleportation props or devices, essentially creating a portal between different spaces. Although the spatial gaps in the rules might be relatively stable portals, they lack a fixed direction or range; where the gap leads is unknown, potentially to populated zones or desolate areas where tickets cannot reach, or even locations where humans cannot survive.
Overall, it can be used to achieve cross-space travel. If you’re lucky, say you’re a fugitive, you might even use it to escape an instance.
These spatial gaps can form naturally or be created artificially. Regarding their formation, naturally ford spatial gaps are more like a product of a dinsional storm, sothing that shouldn’t exist within space, thereby destabilizing it.
"Did you encounter sothing difficult to solve?" the other party asked warmly. "I have several friends with experience in this area. If you have ti, we can discuss it."
Xu Huo left a contact, indicating he would reconnect on another day.
Given the situation in Bu Liu City, such spatial gaps certainly wouldn’t form naturally, yet they appear irregularly. Seeing how the city center is being consud and confined to a specific range, it’s unclear whether this is a deliberate act to erase traces or due to the restriction of one-third of the ga’s temporal scope, limiting it to this range.
However, in any case, probing inside seems difficult.
He has completely forgotten the content of the second ga, estimating the ti spent in the ga through the consumption of food and water carried with him. Besides ti, there wasn’t any aningful clue, though there were a few dubious business cards.
He didn’t contact the people on the cards, nor did they contact him.
The duration of the second ga was shorter than the first. He didn’t acquire more props, suggesting the content of the second ga wasn’t about players killing each other. Yet winning the ga so quickly indicates it most likely relates to temporal evolution. If it was like the first ga, there should be more surviving players, with soone at least revealing a snippet related to the second ga, even if it’s just a ga notice.
Xu Huo stood still for a mont, then turned to his left. In a small building there, "Ding Dong Bleeding" and her companions were present.
They were observing him too, and when they saw him suddenly look over, their expressions changed imdiately. However, before they could retreat, Xu Huo was already before them.
Standing among them, he glanced at the trap triggered upon landing and the three-layered barricade, and said indifferently, "Are you sure there are still people in the city center? Are you sure the Water Rubik’s Cube was brought by a forr companion?"
The forr municipal governnt players were startled, with various props in hand. Seeing him stand amidst the barriers without acting, they cautiously backed off, each standing at a building exit before speaking to him.
"If there’s nobody in the city center, who approved your application?" "Ding Dong Bleeding" asked.
"The city center is already in ruins, with not a single good plot of land left. It’s not surprising that the municipal governnt’s been relocated," Xu Huo looked at the tattooed woman, "You’re from the municipal governnt and originally had authorization. It’s easy to prepare equipnt and reactivate the office system over the years."
"The reason for not releasing too many Temporary Enforcent Officer roles could be due to uncontrollable factors, or you wish to retain more players here. After all, one-third of the ga regularly depletes a significant number of people. If players all clear the ga and leave, they and the people they’ve killed would sharply reduce the city’s population."
"To preserve Bu Liu City, the best way is to keep players who dare not kill."
"The ga’s one-third restriction ans failing to clear doesn’t allow departure, which just happens to benefit you."
He paused and scanned their expressions before continuing, "Not planning to tell the truth yet? I have the third-ga stage; if there’s no suitable thod to escape from you, I’ll just have to try other ideas."
"What are you trying to do?" The tattooed woman barked with false bravado.
Xu Huo raised his hand and took out a bottle containing preserved bacteria. After showing it to them, he released one of his fingers, causing the glass vessel to shatter on the ground. A small fragnt of bacteria imdiately regained vitality, appearing purple-black mixed with gray-black, causing discomfort at the sight but genuinely terrifying was its growth rate; within re breaths, it grew to the size of a palm, continuously emitting black dust.
Even with the barricade in place, the municipal governnt players promptly donned protective masks.
"It can spread not only through inhalation but also via contact, and can contaminate water, food, soil, buildings—the very sight before you—except tal, it can grow on anything."
"Moreover, this bacteria has been refined across generations and isn’t easily killed by potions."
"I don’t know exactly how many people are in the municipal governnt, nor do I care to find out. If I don’t clear the ga and leave Bu Liu City smoothly, this bacteria will spread rapidly throughout the city, erasing Bu Liu City out of existence, and the instance will naturally disappear."
Xu Huo coldly eyed the people in front of him, "A city made by criminals and their descendants shouldn’t have existed long ago."
The municipal governnt folks dared to co, so they had fallback plans. Having seen Xu Huo’s skills before, they prepared sufficient spatial artifacts and devices to escape quickly should a standoff like before occur. However, having co ans being prepared to die, whether at Xu Huo’s hands or in the city’s center...
They never expected Xu Huo to co up with such a poison.
Indeed, causing the instance to fail is an option, but Bu Liu City is too vast—killing area by area would take forever, not to ntion the many players within.
But if an epidemic or toxin spreads quickly without tily antitoxins, even a large city can’t withstand long.
For a mont, fast breathing was all over the room as they stared at Xu Huo, seemingly evaluating if he could be this monstrous... No one dared to gamble.
Seeing the bacteria climbing up to his shoes, the tattooed woman found her voice again, "Your bacteria isn’t that lethal."
Otherwise, how could he stand there unguarded?
Xu Huo scraped off the newly grown bacteria on his shoes, "I have antitoxin."
The municipal governnt mbers fell silent again, and as the standoff persisted, Old Cai suddenly entered and persuaded, "Everyone, let’s talk things through. What can’t be negotiated?"
