Chapter 1062: Chapter 1062: Xu Huo’s Method

"The ’Crimson Sword’ released a Sword Qi Barrier and ’This Way is Blocked’ that simultaneously swept away a swath of Aliens. Xu Huo focused on the enemies in front of him, entrusting the Mutant Beasts from other directions to ’Everything Wants to Slice’."

"Props had been laid out in advance, encircling the refuge every twenty centimeters and extending up to a height of ten meters, leaving the space above the shelter open, but without a ceiling."

"Xu Huo, holding a string inside, didn’t wait for the Mutant Beasts that ignored the prop strings to get close before killing a batch. Soon, the corpses piled up outside, quickly covered by other Mutant Beasts that surged forward."

"Blood splattered over Xu Huo’s protective suit and visor. The eighth time he wiped blood off the visor, corpses of Mutant Beasts had squeezed through the gaps in the prop strings onto the shelter, and he had shifted from the ground to the shelter’s roof. Every time a Mutant Beast leaped down from above or charged in from outside the prop line, he would efficiently kill it and push its body outward, letting the pieces slide down, gradually forming a ramp-like shape."

"The Mutant Beasts were endless. The mountain of corpses under his feet grew higher and higher, quickly burying the shelter and eventually elevating him as he stepped on the bodies."

"People inside the bar across the street peeked through the door gap at this man fighting like a machine, filled with admiration yet puzzled, ’What is he doing? Does he really think he can kill off all the Mutant Beasts by himself?’"

"Ordinary people rarely faced Aliens directly and survived, so they didn’t grasp the true danger outside. The Mutant Black Wolves that first reached the crash site were almost entirely killed by Xu Huo alone. Although the bar was also attacked, with the doors and windows sealed, the Mutant Beasts couldn’t break through the props to get in, so they turned towards a more direct target—but this only lasted a very short time."

"As Xu Huo killed more wolves, the Mutant Beasts that couldn’t squeeze in found room to move. Larger, lion-like and bull-like Mutant Beasts appeared. Claw and tooth-using Mutant Beasts might not break into the bar, but Mutated Rhinoceroses were another matter. Lacking climbing abilities, they specifically targeted the bar, repeatedly ramming the walls from different places and angles."

"The relentless ’boom boom boom’ of impacts never stopped. Although the bar shook, it seemed undamaged, so the people hiding inside could afford to question Xu Huo’s actions."

"However, Guan Shu, who possessed Props, and Ruan Qiyuan and Zhou Yuanzhu, who knew there were more colossal Mutant Beasts outside, understood that without a turning point, the props would eventually be destroyed—Advanced Items were strong, but not indestructible."

"He must be trying to use the corpses of the Mutant Beasts to conceal the props and himself," Guan Shu said. "By confusing the scent, he makes himself a smaller target, and the other Mutant Beasts might overlook him."

"Can this really work?" Zhou Yuanzhu asked. "Those Mutant Beasts drool more than they bleed, how could they not eat their own kind? Sooner or later, they’ll dig him out."

"Maybe he’s doing it because there’s a bigger target nearby," You Xuewen suggested.

Guan Shu and the others fell silent, having also considered this possibility. As long as Xu Huo successfully hid himself and the two children, the Mutant Beasts would naturally turn their focus to the bar—safe until the bar was destroyed.

"Of course, that doesn’t mean what he’s doing is wrong. The Mutant Beast Horde is an unavoidable external pressure; their threat is the same with or without him."

"Did the aircraft manage to get out?" Guan Shu asked.

"Nine out of ten have been destroyed, only one barely captured the situation outside the grove," Zhou Yuanzhu said. "The terrain is flat on the outside, besides the colossal Aliens, there are also many Flying Variants. However, the Flying Variants loiter outside and don’t swarm inside."

"As unbelievable as it sounds, I think these Aliens are cooperating," Guan Shu, a Rank-B player with a significantly higher number of instance clears than the others said. Under current common knowledge, players generally believe Aliens are all brawn and no brains, acting solely on instinct to eat humans, but that’s not the case. Like all animals, Aliens understand the dynamic of strong versus weak tribes. The weak submit to the strong, executing the commands of the powerful without hesitation, more faithfully than humans could carry out orders from a leader. And here, colossal Aliens appeared—these types of Aliens, as long as they appear and are still alive, are definitely the leaders of the entire beast horde. Not only do they have the physical strength advantage from their massive size, but they also "think," even though this thinking is at the level of hunting.

"How many colossal Aliens are there?" he inquired.

"There are eight in the footage," Zhou Yuanzhu couldn’t help but add, "this is not the whole view."

"It seems hiding here is not the solution," Guan Shu said. "We’ll wait for the support Props from other members. Once they arrive, You Xuewen, Lin Qiao, and I will go out and try to kill two colossal Aliens to see if the beast horde gets startled and retreats."

"What is he doing?" Ruan Qiyuan suddenly looked towards Xu Huo’s direction.

Xu Huo casually tossed a Potion bottle down the corpse mountain, which was now ten meters high. Even ’Everything Wants to Slice’ was almost buried, with only a bit peeking out at his feet, precisely cutting the falling bottle in two. Black liquid flowed along the edge, dripping onto the corpses below, quickly contaminating both the blood and flesh.

Seeing the larger Mutant Beasts outside getting restless and driving the ones in front away, Xu Huo put away ’Everything Wants to Slice,’ donned an Invisibility Prop, and mounted ’Gentleman’s Stance’ to rise to a higher spot. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave, instead, he went outside the bar and killed a group of Mutated Rhinoceroses, casually tipping over a lure.

The scent of the Potion made the nearby Mutant Beasts lose interest in the people inside the bar, turning to consume their once "allies" instead. The voracious swallowing and chewing seemed to stimulate other Mutant Beasts, who became even more frantic in their assaults on the bar, with groups retreating battered and others moving up equally bloodied.

But some clever Mutant Beasts turned towards the mountain of corpses by the shelter, vying for the bodies.

Xu Huo’s bacterial Potion may not be as effective as using Yuguo’s Severed Hand directly, but if all the corpses turned black and emitted the stench of infection, let alone Mutant Beasts, not even pigs would nibble on them. That’s why he used a diluted Poison to ensure the corpses were contaminated but not too thoroughly.

Once some of the Mutant Beasts consumed the contaminated pieces, the contamination began to spread successfully.

Fallen comrades became food. As more and more Mutant Beasts collapsed, the number coming forward to scavenge grew—thus a plague from another district successfully propagated throughout the Mutant Beast Horde.
