As the red-haired woman made her move, the other two players assisted from the side. When she diverted her attention, those two focused on delaying Xu Huo. Unfortunately, neither their props nor their characteristics had any effect, as if he were enveloped in a barrier that could never be breached.
"The stronger the prop, the more obvious its weak points. We can’t attack him, and while the barrier is up, he can’t attack us either!" The long-haired man stomped his foot, causing the ground of the alley and surrounding residential buildings to sink.
Hearing the screams from the buildings, Xu Huo sighed and said, "This is the inconvenient part."
He turned the Ti Ring on his hand, bringing the nearby residential buildings into Static Ti. Then he turned to look at the people attacking from both sides. In a second, he pulled both of them into the Mirror Space and quickly harvested the props they wore with a Materialized Item.
But from a certain perspective, such ruthless individuals who treat human lives as worthless are also very determined people. Quickly interfering with them is not easy, and controlling them is even harder. However, by stacking the prop "Counting Soldiers and Generals," it can forcibly control them for a second or two, which is enough.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Huo appeared behind one of them. After continuously weakening the opponent’s defenses with a Materialized Item, he easily stabbed through his heart with the Black Blade.
Seeing their companion killed so cleanly, the remaining two showed fear in their eyes. No longer daring to delay, they imdiately tried to use Tickets to escape into the ga. The red-haired woman, entangled with the Girl in the painting, successfully escaped, but the long-haired man, who was closer to Xu Huo, wasn’t so lucky. He was strongly controlled by Psychic Power, missed the less than a second’s ti, and was imdiately killed by the Materialized Item.
Three dead, one escaped, and two more people who quickly aged suddenly fell into unconsciousness on the ground.
"You go back first. I’m taking a trip." Xu Huo said to the Girl in the painting and then took the two and broke through the barrier, heading straight to the Special Defense Departnt mbers outside, "Where’s Chief Wu?"
The players monitoring outside were already aware of the commotion inside the barrier, but they never expected that Xu Huo would handle six opponents so easily. Looking at the two players completely altered and floating in midair, the questioned Special Defense Departnt mber swallowed and said, "Chief Wu is at the temporary command center in the Joyful Activity Plaza, along with Captain Ming from Jing City and captains from other cities..."
Before the words were finished, Xu Huo had already disappeared from before him.
Unable to resist glancing in the direction of the temporary command center, the Special Defense Departnt player couldn’t help but exclaim, "What an incredible man!"
Then he pointed at the buildings that had co out of Static Ti, shouting to others, "Move quickly, support the foundations!"
This kind of situation is not an insurmountable task for the Special Defense Departnt now.
anwhile, Xu Huo headed straight for the temporary command center, just as the team from Jing City was preparing to leave. The two sides ran into each other in the eting room.
Seeing the people he brought, Chief Wu smiled even before speaking, warmly approaching, "You ca back just in ti, precisely solving my urgent problem. Only these two left, right? Hurry, so of you co and take them out for questioning!"
"Xu Huo, let introduce you, this is Captain Ming, who has recently beco famous in the Special Defense Departnt. His player nickna is ’Ubiquitous Xiaoming’." Chief Wu spoke with satisfaction, then said to Captain Ming, "Our Ting City division is not that unreasonable. We’ll handle things ourselves. If you’re in a hurry, feel free to go ahead and attend to your business."
Captain Ming paid no heed to him and nodded slightly toward Xu Huo, "Mr. Xu’s na precedes you. With you overseeing Ting City, this result is expected."
Looking at this masked man, Xu Huo said, "’Ubiquitous Xiaoming’, is Captain Ming’s surna not Ming?"
"Ming is my code na." Captain Ming had no intention of revealing his real na. "Since the problem here is resolved, I’ll take my leave."
With that, he activated a Spatial Teleportation Device and left with his team mbers.
"What’s so smug about him!" a player in the eting room murmured, and a few captains were also unhappy, but they quickly adjusted, greeting Xu Huo warmly and inviting him to visit their divisions.
"Go, go, go, Xu Huo finally cos back, he will surely be more comfortable staying in his own ho." Chief Wu jokingly dismissed them and wiped sweat from his forehead once only the Ting City division mbers were left. He told Xu Huo with lingering fear, "If you had co a little later, I might have had to agree to Captain Ming’s proposal."
He briefly explained the course of events to Xu Huo and added, "You’re one of us, and I have nothing to hide. With so many lives, I really didn’t dare to gamble... You’ve done a huge favor this ti!"
"We’re all friends, no need for thanks." Xu Huo said, "Who exactly is this Captain Ming?"
"He suddenly appeared, seemingly a specially trained player from the military, apparently intending to compete with Nie Xuan." Chief Wu said, "His style differs sowhat from Nie Xuan; employing a thod of selective compromise has gained him so support from internal mbers."
Xu Huo had already seen the proposal to release poison gas within the blockade. In the situation where the Special Defense Departnt couldn’t dispatch top players, this was not a bad plan to accomplish the task with minimal manpower. However, putting forth this plan ant certain sacrifices had to be made, as encountering player attacks couldn’t result in zero casualties. This habitual action taken under the mindset of obtaining the best solution and yet being forced by circumstances, adopting a style of gaining initiative by small-scale sacrifice was indeed distinctive.
"Hasn’t Nie Xuan co back recently?" he asked.
"He returned so ti ago, stayed for a few days, and then left. He should be back soon." Chief Wu, unaware of the plan to intercept Dou Shengnan, said, "You need him for sothing?"
"Just a personal matter." Xu Huo paused and said, "I’ll stay in Ting City for a few days."
Chief Wu was delighted to hear this, "Ting City now belongs to Li Chun; it’s truly your second ho. Jing City supports Ting City’s developnt, so feel free to take a walk and see the recent changes in Ting City when you have ti."
Though Li Chun didn’t have direct economic control, this city was nominally assigned to her, so she and Xu Huo had the right to get involved in Ting City’s affairs. This incident wasn’t kept from him by Chief Wu.
Additionally, to better coordinate with Li Chun, the division received orders to carry out so urban reconstruction according to her or Xu Huo’s requests.
Xu Huo was not interested in these matters for the mont and politely declined the invitation to have a al. "I need a good few days’ rest. Please excuse from invitations like this."
Chief Wu, without any objections, watched him with gratification and a bit of fatherly concern, "Rest assured and relax. I’ve already arranged for soone to prepare whatever living supplies you need, and if you have any other requirents, feel free to ntion them, even if it’s a bit excessive."
Xu Huo gave him a sidelong glance and then turned to disappear from the eting room.
