Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: The Gap Between Players and Ordinary People
Fifty-one people, plus the two brought by Xu Huo, totaling fifty-three ordinary people.
The dust kicked up by the crashing building was still swirling in the air, with a rust-scented wind hitting the face of everyone alive.
Some cried, some laughed, and some sat on the ground, dazed and unable to recover, but after surviving the disaster, at this moment, everyone had hope in their hearts.
Xu Huo released the two children from the picture frame, an item that was previously used in Base W37 City to contain virus-carrying aliens, likely with its interior space contaminated. The children showed signs of poisoning when they came out, so he made them take an antitoxin before signaling them to leave.
But the two children were clever; they only took a few steps before refusing to go any further, and Xu Huo did not forcibly drive them away.
Over at Guan Shu’s side, only You Xuewen, the Lin siblings, Ruan Qiyuan in a raincoat, and Zhou Yuanzhu were gathered together, everyone else, including the wounded brought out by Guan Shu, were all unaccounted for.
These few were wounded, especially Guan Shu who had a piece of his scalp sliced off; blood was still flowing, and the smell of fresh blood had all the players frowning.
The moment they passed through the spatial passage, they received a game notification; it was a dangerous random instance, only safe to land but the real danger was yet to come!
"Post a message on Beneath the Dimension, ask others to transfer props and potions over," Guan Shu said somberly, "We still have fourteen days."
Zhou Yuanzhu swiftly took action, feeling relieved and said, "Luckily, Beneath the Dimension and the reward platform are not closed. The message is sent, our companions will see it and help."
In comparison, Xu Huo was in a much better condition, aside from a dark purple ring on the baby’s face, both the boy and he were uninjured.
The two exchanged a glance; without saying a half-word, they began to pay attention to the surroundings.
Perhaps because of the recent collapse of the building, there were no large animals approaching nearby; however, the visibility in the forest was even worse than before, dark and gloomy, only a bit of faint light visible due to the dense vegetation.
Something was descending in the air, dark and string-like, resembling rain.
Zhou Yuanzhu touched his face, pinched his fingertips together, "Feels a bit like fluff, but disperses when rubbed."
Xu Huo also reached out to catch some, not very dense, it quickly melted when it fell on his palm, he had already put on a protective suit.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuanzhu had confirmed this substance was non-toxic, but Xu Huo still purchased a set of advanced protective suits and a protective backpack-like basket for children in the game.
He still made the boy carry the baby, gave them a bottle of antitoxin to share, and stuffed a pacifier into the baby’s mouth to prevent crying before Xu Huo finally closed the prop umbrella.
"For safety, better to wear protective suits," Guan Shu turned back and said to his companions.
The group armed themselves, collecting local soil, vegetation, and dew.
At this time, one of the surviving group suggested, "Should we go back and see if anyone else survived? We don’t even know this place. We need some food."
Falling from nearly ten thousand meters high, survival was nearly impossible in such conditions, but for fifty people, food and drinks were indeed necessary.
"It’s so hot here, will it stay this hot?" asked someone.
"If we can find clothes, it’s best to stockpile them too, as the weather might change." A few people took the lead to stand up.
Zhou Yuanzhu stopped them, "The situation here is unclear, it’s best to stay together and not wander around."
The few people turned back to give her a look, then bowed their heads and walked away. After they left, more people silently stood up and left. None of those who had been saved thanked them.
"Truly ungrateful," Zhou Yuanzhu muttered, but at this moment, a woman walking at the back of the group turned and said, "You did save our lives, but had it not been for you, we would not have ended up in this situation. All our family and friends are dead, even though we are still alive, we cannot feel grateful towards you."
"But we also know, it was the government of District 002 that abandoned us, so we can’t hate you."
These people supported each other and walked on, including several teenagers. Just like the woman, they were clearly alive and adhered to the philosophy of not hating Guan Shu and the others. Rationality dominated, yet they lived palely and busily like a group of ants without thought; their entire lives could be influenced by a line drawn at random.
At this moment, the gulf between the players and ordinary people was vividly demonstrated.
However, no one approached Xu Huo to ask to take the two children away.
The ants, lined up in a row, deliberately forgot about these two little ants.
"We indeed aren’t good people." Zhou Yuanzhu played with a smile and returned to Guan Shu and the others to keep busy, while the other four never looked up.
The minority who stayed behind occasionally looked at Xu Huo and their eyes would wander to the boy and the baby.
Especially two men, who kept moving closer to them in the course of talking to others.
Xu Huo, sitting on a piece of metal debris and cleaning "Eye of the Deceased", said when the two men looked over for the fifth time, "Look again, and I’ll gouge out your eyes."
The two men clearly knew yet did not feel guilty, looking pleadingly, precisely at the boy, "Can I borrow your gas mask to use?"
The boy, one of the children once chosen by Doctor Zhang and later used as an experimental subject by the Snow City government and named R17, turned his head expressionlessly after a glance at the men and said to Xu Huo, "They are looking at me again, you can gouge out their eyes."
Before the two men could recover from the boy’s words, a streak of white light flew by, and with spots of fresh blood spurting out, both men’s eyeballs burst!
Using a Silencing Prop, Xu Huo blocked the men’s screams, walked over, and knocked each rolling man unconscious with a kick, and then said to the others, "Sound, the vibrations from the sound can attract large predators, if lucky, just ordinary beasts, if unlucky, groups of Alien species. Conversation is fine, but everyone try to control the volume."
With two examples before them, who would dare disagree?
Even those two kids who appeared out of the painting couldn’t help but retreat back to their own kind.
Xu Huo sat back down, pulled out "Complete Time" to check the local time, it was almost dawn, about the same as in District 002. Yet with the tendency of the black filamental rain falling denser, it was uncertain whether it would get light.
He then added time conditions on the Beneath the Dimension and bounty platforms; just the features like rain, vegetation, soil, and temperature matched many districts, it was temporarily impossible to confirm exactly where this was, or what kind of high-risk instance it was.
But one thing was definite, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became.
While waiting for feedback and dawn, he took the two children a bit further back, distancing them from the crowd, then enclosed the surroundings with "Everything Wants to Slice," gave some food to the boy, "Eat, after eating, rest quickly, we leave in at most twenty minutes."
