Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: The Sin of Inaction

Xu Huo took some dried meat and water and asked Tan Qi to distribute them to the other two, and he also took out a pack of soft dry food from the supplies previously obtained at W37 Base Station for Tan Qi, telling him to take the baby into the shelter to rest.

He and Guan Shu and others maintained a distance, and the others, seeing he seemed to have ample supplies, showed envy in their eyes.

After a while, Guan Shu came over and asked in a low voice, "Does that potion work?"

"Have you not tested your blood?" Xu Huo asked.

Guan Shu smiled; if he had found poison, he wouldn’t have particularly come to ask.

"Anyway, there’s more than ten days left, if I really can’t hold on, I’d try anything."

"Is the luggage compartment of a Rank-B player very large?" Xu Huo then asked.

"It’s just a few square meters more than that of a Rank-C Player," Guan Shu understood what he meant, "You want to ask if the supplies I brought are sufficient to sustain so many people, right?"

"I can clearly tell you, no."

Xu Huo looked at him, but listened as he continued, "I’m not exactly a good person, but I don’t want to be someone who stands by and lets others die. When we need help from others, we advocate sacrifice and contribution, but when it’s our turn, if we do nothing, it’s contrary to the ethos of the Holy Sword Society."

"It won’t last long anyway," Xu Huo said vaguely.

"Let’s take it one day at a time; we surely can’t just kill everyone because they are at risk of transforming into Aliens," Guan Shu implied, "After all, to ordinary people, we are the strong. If everyone powerful in this world could empathize, there would be less bloodshed."

Perhaps due to hunger, the people who initially had no great emotions towards Guan Shu and the others gradually became a bit irritable. It’s not that they didn’t know who saved them, but in a hopeless wait, they placed more importance on the supplies carried by the players.

"When ordinary people take up a butcher knife, are they still weak?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow.

"The law talks about the presumption of innocence, and moreover, they’re just having some thoughts," Guan Shu said as he cut open a hard-skinned fruit with a dagger, drank all the juice inside, and then wiped his mouth, "Any evil not acted upon cannot be called a crime."

Xu Huo smiled slightly and made a gesture of raising his glass with the water in his hand to him, then opened the door and entered the shelter.

Tan Qi had already finished the food and also fed the baby a bit.

Xu Huo took off his protective mask and asked him, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body?"

Tan Qi, who had heard his conversation with Chi Minghong, said, "If there’s a problem, I’ll tell you."

Xu Huo nodded, sat down, and opened his personal panel to check the information Beneath the Dimension.

Half a day had passed, the sky in this space had brightened, but the light was still poor and the rain seemed to keep falling. He updated the weather conditions and described the situation in the cracked soil area, and an account that had replied to him several times below responded again:

"The host went to a high-risk instance, right? Being close to the E20 Wormhole Point and lacking sunlight, it shouldn’t be far from District 002. If you feel hungry, don’t panic, because slowly you’ll find, no matter how much you eat, you will only get hungrier, good luck."

Xu Huo didn’t choose the Wormhole Point when posting the message, so this was automatically identified by the game; it seems this district is indeed not far from District 002.

He privately contacted that account to gather information, but the other party clearly did not intend to reveal more, replying with a bit of schadenfreude: "Being hungry is nothing; players have strong bodies. Starving for two days is not a problem; it’s better than eating things randomly."

Xu Huo once again raised the price, and the other side wavered, taking half a minute to reply, "If you can give me a Rank-B prop, I can tell you how to safely spend fourteen days."

"I’ll think about it." Xu Huo replied and then turned off the auto panel, from the attitude of the other party, he at least could confirm two things, one is that things in this district should not be eaten at random, and the second is that hunger should not lead to irreversible serious consequences, at least not to the extent before the initial screening train.

Knowing these two points was enough.

He walked over to Tan Qi, checked the baby’s condition, "He has eaten enough, don’t feed him anything for three hours, give him some water if he cries."

Tan Qi indicated he understood.

"Knock!" The door sounded.

Xu Huo opened the door; outside was Chi Minghong, she waved her hand towards Tan Qi, "If we can’t find a place to stay tonight, they plan to dig a hole to temporarily hide, but it’s not realistic to stay in one place, so we’ll change places after staying one night."

The surroundings were all wilderness, which was barely considered a method.

After resting for another ten minutes, the group set off again.

Xu Huo was not in a hurry to hurry, so he walked with Guan Shu and the others; carrying two children was difficult, so they used Balloon Strings to lead them in the air. Chi Minghong envied this and discussed with him that she and Tan Qi would each take half an hour.

She was injured in the leg and had been using props along the way, but what other prop could be as carefree as floating in the air?

Xu Huo really cooperated with her, letting Tan Qi walk.

"Next time I’ll just buy a utility robot," Chi Minghong remarked, "A multifunctional robot is too expensive, I’ve always hesitated, but this time I will definitely pick one properly."

Xu Huo happened to have one, not yet used.

The robots in the game and the humanoid robots were not as backward as those in sector 014. According to their cost, the more expensive they were, the closer they were to human beings, they could act according to instructions, replace physical labor and even fight, but the more functions they had, the more expensive they were, usually seen at the Game Government and District Governments, for ordinary players, that money is better spent on a couple more props.

"Robots are not much cheaper than props," Zhou Yuanzhu said from ahead: "In a real fight, it’s just a piece of metal, not much use."

"Not necessarily," the reticent Ruan Qiyuan interjected, "As long as the price is right, a robot can have the functions of an aircraft, remote positioning, and attack."

"And it can also do house chores, cooperate in games, especially when it’s inconvenient to move, a robot can carry you on its back and run for seven or eight hours without stopping."

The first sentence is a bit tempting, the latter is really not necessary.

Zhou Yuanzhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Who spends so much money just to have a robot carry them while running? What’s the point?"

Ruan Qiyuan argued, "In a situation like this, isn’t a robot practical?"

"Robots sold to players are not equipped with firepower, buying one just for physical labor is too luxurious," Zhou Yuanzhu said. "A regular one costs millions."

When the price was mentioned, Ruan Qiyuan had nothing to say.

Xu Huo listened to their conversation without interjecting. When everyone was ready to dig holes to rest in the evening, he took out the Tool Robot he was awarded last time in the game, planning to lend a hand.
