Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!
Chapter 2007: Clearing the Stage
You dare to use something with such high risk?
Teacher Zhao was speechless. Just as he was about to report his findings to headquarters, he received messages from different parts of the city. The content was simple: three places had opened the vapor boxes, but the boxes were empty, without a single potion!
At this moment, whether it was Teacher Zhao who received the message, or Xu Huo and the two players behind him, they all understood one thing: the box in front of them definitely contained "White Blood"!
Whether Zheng Yuci wanted Xu Huo to pass the level or help dispose of the abandoned "experimental products", he would inform him of the true whereabouts of the "White Blood". However, from the perspective of the Eastern District players, this box cannot be opened, because they are not sure if the missing two boxes also contain "White Blood". If there is a connection between the boxes, sealing this box won’t be able to seal the other two...
Four eyes met, and the killing intent in Teacher Zhao’s eyes was evident!
Xu Huo was no better off. The previous encounters made him realize the gap between himself and Zheng Yuci. So even if Zheng Yuci gave him a clear clue to find Doctor Zhang, he couldn’t touch it in the short term. Not only that, he had just been tricked by Chang Bei, now it’s Zheng Yuci, daring to think these people were using him for fun!
Within the "Cubic Space" coverage area, spatial rays controlled by different individuals collided and moved, the spatial barriers and ray blades permeated each other, immediately turning this small laboratory into a battlefield. The two players originally in the lab had to avoid under the cover of props, and subsequent players were wary of the spatial power, not daring to approach rashly.
However, in terms of spatial evolution, Xu Huo was not a match for Teacher Zhao. After a brief exchange, Teacher Zhao moved to the side of the metal box and directly covered the box with a transparent spatial cube!
Under Teacher Zhao’s attack, Xu Huo retreated to the corridor, swung the Black Blade to cut the spatial blade in front of him, then released the Spiritual World, and lifted the spiral staircase to send Teacher Zhao out of the laboratory. At the same time, he used a secant line to break the spatial cube outside the metal box. Just as he returned to the box, the entire box disappeared into thin air, replaced by an unknown Secondary Stone.
He swiftly grabbed the Secondary Stone, looked up at the upper floor, and cut open the lab to return to the ground.
The Teacher Zhao who just exchanged away the metal box had already met up with the elder who had halved dozens of Outer Zone players at Agor Headquarters. Both supporting the box from left and right, stared in Xu Huo’s direction.
The three stood in the air, Xu Huo also looking at them, slightly turning the Black Blade in his hand.
A new battle seemed imminent, but to everyone’s surprise, an unexpected person suddenly intervened, silently sitting atop the metal box.
As soon as they noticed him, Teacher Zhao and the elder immediately struck, but Jiang Chengfeng seemed only to make an appearance, retreating without a word. "Just opening a box, you’ve caused such a fuss, why not let me lend a hand?" he said while retreating.
Teacher Zhao and the elder immediately sensed something was wrong. And when they looked back at the metal box, they only heard the words "Sesame Sesame, open the door", and the buttons on the box automatically activated, then the box rotated, and black fog sprayed out from hundreds of holes exposed!
Fortunately, Teacher Zhao sealed the space immediately, but their assumption was correct, Zheng Yuci’s backup plan was not just this one. As soon as the box opened, six shells were launched simultaneously inside Yuquan City, whether Eastern District or Western District. When they were more than twenty meters from the ground, they exploded, accompanied by shrapnel sprayed out with the black smoke, somewhat repelling the first wave of players who came to rescue, allowing the black smoke to spread successfully within the city.
By this time, the sky was gradually brightening, the rain-washed air mingled with the scent of polluted soil. Although the people of Yuquan City shut their doors and windows, this could only delay the poisoning time and could not really isolate the poison completely. As the airflow within the city diluted the not easily noticeable fog, spreading to further places, those who did immediate protection still fared well, while those who hadn’t received the message or had no time, silently were corroded by the toxins. Some instantly perished, but more descended into madness, indiscriminately attacking others.
"I’ll seal here, you arrange the other players," Teacher Zhao said to the elder.
The elder then left, while Teacher Zhao continued to stabilize the landing of the metal box while pulling down Jiang Chengfeng, "You deserve to die!"
Jiang Chengfeng had been prepared for him, dodging several attacks before slipping behind Xu Huo, "Brother, I helped you again, it’s time to return the favor tenfold!"
Xu Huo ignored him and landed within Teacher Zhao’s sealing radius, collecting a mass of mist into an experimental vessel.
[Congratulations Passerby A for successfully passing the instance "Justice". Due to your successful acquisition of "White Blood" in this instance and upholding your justice throughout the process, uncovering the truth behind the declining birthrate of newborns in Yuquan City, assisting the Resistance Army to overthrow the rule of AgorTech Company, and leaving the antitoxin for the people of Yuquan City, while balancing justice with your bottom line, your instance rating is SS.]
"I passed," he looked up at Teacher Zhao’s grim face, "I released a certain amount of antitoxin into the reservoir center in Yuquan City, you try and see if it’s useful."
After saying this, he exited the sealed area, turning towards Agor Headquarters.
Jiang Chengfeng followed him, "Will the Eastern District players believe you?"
"They will when their antitoxin doesn’t work," Xu Huo said calmly, "Of course, it’s better if their own antitoxin works."
"Seems you were prepared for Zheng Yuci’s deceit," Jiang Chengfeng laughed, "But this is too troublesome, the people of Yuquan City will save themselves, helping them won’t necessarily earn their gratitude."
To ordinary players, what poison Zheng Yuci left wasn’t important, as long as they could protect themselves, why bother going through such a big loop to deploy antitoxin which might not even be necessary, and even if used, it wouldn’t reap any benefits.
"Maybe I misunderstood the Old Holy Sword Society." Xu Huo looked back at him.
Jiang Chengfeng understood the ridicule in his words but didn’t care, "Life is already hard enough, why add difficulty for oneself by trying to be good? Aren’t players represented by acting as they please? Just go with the flow, right? Moreover, the disaster in Yuquan City was self-inflicted, if I don’t act, someone else will."
"You said the potion targeted Eastern District players? I was worried I wouldn’t find a way to kill more of them, seems like a pillow when you’re sleepy?"
"Understood," Xu Huo nodded slightly, "What’s your instance task?"
