Chapter 1631: Chapter 1631
(Waiting to be modified) The player who was fleeing was originally using props to move between floors, but unexpectedly stepped onto 101. This type of metal prop from the game couldn’t be breached, and he saw Xu Huo beside him, wielding a crossbow arrow and aiming at him!
The crossbow arrow was not a solid arrow but a kind of translucent ice, which pierced into the wall and quickly melted!
"You are not the one I’m looking for," Xu Huo stated his position. Due to this momentary delay, the pursuing player had already come downstairs, but as soon as a pair of feet appeared, they were knocked off by a strange force, carving a deep groove into the ceiling before stopping at the wall.
The next second, two people and a stone lion landed on the same floor where Xu Huo and his companion were.
"Da Mao, go!" Yan Jiayu called the stone lion to pounce while taking out a muscle man sticker and sticking it to her face, instantly increasing her speed to a level as fast as a projectile, smashing towards the person by the wall!
The player didn’t take her reckless fighting style seriously. With a pat on the shoulder, a blue light arc opened in front of him. With this protective arc, he didn’t even spare Yan Jiayu another glance, and instead shifted his attention to the circling stone lion jogging past.
However, just as he was preparing to deal with the stone lion, Yan Jiayu, this living bomb, crashed into him—though it was unknown if she had any other invisible defense props, when she hit the light arc, the player was directly thrust through the wall, and the light arc also cracked!
"What!" The other party couldn’t hide their surprise and was then rammed against the outermost wall of the building, rebounding off a barrier sealed onto the wall.
As the receiving party, Yan Jiayu was not as disheveled. She landed firmly in the middle of the room, waving the Demon-Subduing Pestle to launch a chaotic attack!
"Bang bang bang," several sounds were made as a Shield Prop cracked under the barrage, forcing the player to dodge. Using his Characteristics to briefly restrain Yan Jiayu’s speed, he rushed towards Xu Huo’s side!
His real target was the government player who hadn’t fled yet, but as he reached halfway, a cold gleam swiped at him from the side!
The pursuing player quickly sidestepped, and as he raised his hand, dozens of Cowhair Needles shot out from his sleeve.
With the Air Barrier temporarily unavailable, Xu Huo simply deployed and retracted the Shelter 101 in front of him, using "Extreme Fatigue" and "Progress Bar Disappearance" in his attack simultaneously.
The player immediately felt the effect of the props on him, pressing on his sleeve, his clothing stood up like scales before closing again, and as the color of his attire changed, he reverted back to normal, with no signs of fatigue on his face!
Yan Jiayu and the stone lion came to reinforce, and the lazy Da Mao took a hit on the rear, instantly unleashing all its fury on the chasing player, forcing him to retreat amid pouncing and tearing.
"The effect of the vase!" The chasing player threw a mat on the ground, on which the tumbling Da Mao slipped, fixing one paw to the floor.
However, this was of little use. The violence-driven stone lion simply scooped a hole in the ground. Unable to break free from the mat didn’t matter; it could carry the floor panel with it.
Da Mao was challenging to handle, and Xu Huo and Yan Jiayu were equally relentless. Yan Jiayu fought in close quarters, while Xu Huo occasionally rushed forward when assisting with props, and after three minutes of fighting, both sides had suffered some damage.
Looking up, Xu Huo moved up the stairs and felt someone falling rapidly from the center of the building when he reached the third floor, quickly placing the Shelter 101 directly below!
The player who was fleeing had been moving between floors using props and unexpectedly stepped onto 101. This type of metal prop from the game couldn’t be breached, and he saw Xu Huo next to him, wielding a crossbow arrow and aiming at him!
The crossbow arrow was not a solid arrow but a kind of translucent ice, which pierced into the wall and quickly melted!
"You are not the one I’m looking for," Xu Huo stated his position, and due to this momentary delay,
*
Xue Lang and Chang Bei might not know the truth, but they both know he’s still alive, especially Xue Lang, who bore a grudge against him since the hospital incident and killed his whole family before leaving. It makes no sense to spare him; his memory wasn’t rewritten. The only explanation might be that Doctor Zhang restrained him.
Whether it was Xu Zhi who made Doctor Zhang go this far, or whether Doctor Zhang had this intention all along...
At this thought, another idea came up persistently. If Doctor Zhang never intended to take him out of Zone 014 but always planned to rewrite his memory from the start, then what does Xu Zhi’s death mean?
"Crack!" The image before him showed a crack, and Xu Zhi, who looked up, shattered into pieces!
Instinctively reaching out, Xu Huo paused mid-air, realizing—that all this is fake; there’s nothing to hold on to... however, as he was about to let go, a hand emerged from the darkness and clasped his.
Xu Huo paused slightly and pulled the person out.
The living Xu Zhi stood before him.
"You’ve grown up," Xu Zhi looked at him appreciatively.
"You should have grown up too," Xu Huo said.
The standing Xu Zhi’s appearance had altered somewhat, looking more mature and composed than before.
Neither let go of the other’s hand, and Xu Zhi patted the back of his hand, saying, "Seeing you living so well, I’m very pleased."
"I’m not pleased," Xu Huo replied.
"In your twenties, how can you act spoiled with your brother?" Xu Zhi laughed and said, "Don’t carry the weight of my death; life’s paths are long or short, mine was just short."
"Look at the roadside trees; few care about their lives or whether their paths are long or short. People and trees alike are insignificant to the vast world; we’re no different from floating dust."
"If you could choose, you would’ve wanted to die in my place."
Xu Huo silently watched him and replied after a moment, "That’s my thought, not yours."
"Aren’t you and I the same?" Xu Zhi touched his head, "I told you when you were little, smart people are alike."
"Xu Huo, I am you. You are me." Xu Zhi’s voice suddenly filled with allure, his hands gripping Xu Huo’s as he stepped closer, gradually merging with him from the palms.
Xu Huo stood still, but at this moment, a shadow flowed from beneath his feet, then stood behind "Xu Zhi," cutting him in half!
When Xu Zhi’s figure shattered, Xu Huo’s expression darkened, and he suddenly surged forward, grabbing the Shadow Personality’s throat and pinning him to the ground, though he could do no more than that.
A few seconds later, he slowly stood up, pulling the Shadow Personality up along with him.
However, the Shadow Personality punched him and vanished on the spot.
