The ti quickly arrived at the second day, and the number of applications for review by the Municipal Governnt increased rapidly. At this rate, it would only take another day to et Xu Huo’s clearance requirent.
During this period, Old Cai and a few others never left, and players ca and went nearby. Seeing nothing happen, they gradually lost interest and were busy looking for fugitives instead.
Xu Huo spent half a day walking around the barrier in the city center. Unfortunately, he didn’t encounter the Water Rubik’s Cube again. During this ti, he also probed multiple tis with his Psychic Power. It couldn’t be said that any power intervening would cause a chain reaction; the frequency of spatial gaps appearing was inherently high, disorganized, with a variable range.
Judging by the traces left on the ground, players might be able to quickly dodge the not-so-large spatial gaps, but so spatial gaps were so large that even Advanced Players had difficulty crossing them, making them nearly unavoidable.
However, such gigantic spatial gaps appeared relatively infrequently.
After observing for long enough, he chose a suitable spot, equipped the "Heart of the Child" and "Three Seconds of a Lifeti," along with other Passive Lifesaving Items, and walked slowly through the barrier.
As long as the city center didn’t cut off players’ personal panels, these items should take effect. Whether a Space-Ti Class Prop like "Three Seconds of a Lifeti" would work was a matter of luck.
The instant Xu Huo walked in, he imdiately felt the chaotic Space-Ti Powers around him, as unpredictable as bullets and flying shells from all directions, threatening him with every step, making a single misstep potentially fatal!
He unleashed his Spiritual World, sprinting toward the city center as fast as he could.
The increase in Evolution Rate, coupled with the amplification from the Spiritual World, should have made him very fast through the space. However, the chaotic space was akin to wading through mud in the air. Just passing through was extrely difficult, let alone the Spatial Power forming Spatial Blades that slowed him down... It was like carrying a heavy burden while walking through a mine-filled jungle.
After advancing less than two kiloters, Xu Huo encountered his first spatial gap. A black slit suddenly opened like an eye, morphing into a crescent moon and sweeping over his head!
He barely dodged this enlarging spatial gap by almost sticking to the ground. After sliding under the black orb, he flipped and ducked to avoid it, not looking back as he rushed toward the two slowly converging giant spatial walls ahead!
He passed through just before the converging Spatial Blades closed, halting abruptly as two gigantic spatial gaps approached him head-on. It was unclear what lay on the other side of the gaps, but when the sky opened, it revealed darkness. Moreover, the spatial gap was not entirely stable; unlike a Prop portal, it was jagged. The presence of these jagged edges ant the gap could change from a crescent to a protruding sphere in seconds... Rather than a space tearing open, it was more like two spaces pressing against each other, with another space intruding.
But this wasn’t his imdiate concern because these two spatial gaps blocked his planned path. With the front road cut off, a giant wall ford by Spatial Power behind, and both sides blocked by Spatial Blades, with nowhere to go, he reluctantly pulled up the surrounding Spatial Rays, created a few Spatial Bodies, and released them.
What he learned from the Three Seconds of a Lifeti ga had so effect here, as the energy released by the collapsing Spatial Bodies hit the giant wall, causing a large-scale collapse of Spatial Power, creating gaps in the blocked wall!
Two more players gathered around Old Cai. They had been lingering near Xu Huo, not intending to do anything but feeling uneasy if not watching him. Fortunately, Xu Huo just walked outside the barrier, with no intention of disrupting the space.
Who could have thought he’d suddenly go in? The process was too quiet at first and happened so suddenly that they had no ti to react – in fact, it was too late, as he vanished in the blink of an eye unless they chased after him!
Old Cai and the others gathered, looking at the barrier in front with grim faces, worried both for Xu Huo’s survival and the possibility of him not dying, just as they were about to notify their companions at the city center. Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the barrier uncontrollably, sliding more than ten ters before stopping. As he stood and looked back, he saw the barrier oscillating, as if sothing inside was trying to push out, but eventually was blocked.
Old Cai and the others were shocked, staring at the wave-free person in disbelief!
"Did you just co out like that?" Old Cai blurted out.
"I didn’t go far, so I had to co out this way," Xu Huo glanced at him.
"That’s not what I ant," Old Cai swallowed his words, hurried forward, and asked urgently: "What’s the situation inside?"
"The Spatial Power is too strong, the route map provided by the Municipal Governnt is useless, and the situation changes constantly," Xu Huo replied. "The Spatial Power inside is much more dangerous than I imagined."
Upon hearing this, Old Cai’s expression darkened, then he asked: "If it were just you, could you get in?"
"Hard to say," Xu Huo responded. "If the whole area near the city center is like the entrance, it would be hard for anyone to get in, including Rank-A Players."
"However, I estimate that the closer to the core of the Water Rubik’s Cube, the more dangerous it gets, even if there’s a safe zone in the center, you can only watch it."
"Also, I think if your friend isn’t a Player, his chances of survival are low; from the outside’s difficulty, resupplying his food and water is a problem."
"This doesn’t explain the origin of his photos," Old Cai said solemnly. "You’ve seen the photos; you are the Verifier."
Indeed, it’s hard to find a reasonable explanation for this, but in such a high-risk area, let alone ordinary-level players, even a Super Player would have a hard ti surviving, how could an ordinary person live so long without external help?
Unless the city center isn’t completely sealed and has communication channels with the outside.
But this is difficult to achieve for non-players.
Old Cai and others left disappointed, Xu Huo did not stop them and returned to the Girl in the Painting’s resting place, unexpectedly finding Zhu Xiaojin and Mi Qiaonan coming over, bringing along a Rank-A Player.
The mont they t, Xu Huo pulled out a business card from his pocket, and the Rank-A Player raised an eyebrow, also pulling out his card.
They had exchanged business cards in the second ga and survived.
